The Next HOUSE, OF REPREsENTATIyEs.-
We'subjoin two approximate calculations OF
the probable political complexion OF the next
House of Representatives, one fromthe Wash
ington Ualtan, Democratic, and the other from
the Npao York Express. FederaIist 1t will.
be seen that they differ somewhat in the con.
lclusion at which they arrive. but all seem to
teoncede that the handful of Free -soilers will
hold the balance of power, and also, that there
will be no working majority on either side,
even giving the Free-soiIers 10 the sides to
which their different political afinities might
lead them, apart from the slavery question:

Answer this The federal wings have
much to say about ''coalitons" between north
ern democrats and free soilers. Let them say
if Willard Fillmore is not a free-soiler? If so,
and there is no paper with the slightest res
pect for truth that will deny it, was not the
union of his name with that of Gen. Taylor
on the Presidential ticket, coalition of whig-
ism and Wilmot provisoism, which is only an.
other name for free-soilism? Is not Mr.. Win
throp, Speaker of the House, proviso man
that is-a free-soler? Ifso, was not his cleo.
ton TO that high and responsible Office by
whig votes, among which were those of every
wing member from Tennessee coalition be-
tween wbiggery and e-soil?
Are not Messrs Jonn NJ. Clayton, Secreta
ry of State, Mr.. Meredith, Secretary of tn,
Treasury, Mr.. Collamer, Postmaster General
and Mr.. Ewing, Secretary of the Home De
partment, occupying the most important of
fees in the Cabinet, provisoists or free solIers
If so, was not their appointments coalition
between whiggery and free-sol?
Is not Mr.. Webster a free soiIer. Is nc
Mr. Seward free soiler! Is not Mr.. Corwi
a free-soiler? In fact, is not every leadin
whig politician and every whig press at tn
North and Northwest free-soil advocates
And is not Henry Clay, and Cassius M. Clay
in the South, free-soil? y.
| 1t requires conscience of India rubber, an
face of brass, for the wings who have SUI

The Tariff Of 1S46.-Ihe operation OF this
great and beneheent measure of public and
economical policy continues to realize the
most sanguine expectations of its friends
That its influence upon the great industrial
interests of the country is most salutary, the
prosperity which everywhere prevails most
fully attests. And that the revenues suffer no
diminution, we have the testimony Of the
friends of the administration to prove. Re-
ferring 10 the receipts of the custom-house in

! Il Million qceek Some idea of the com.
merce of the port of New York may be form
ed from the fact that if the business at The
custom house continue during the remalnde
of the week as heavy as it has been for thu
last three days, the duties will amount to, !
not exceed, the round sum of million Of dot
lars. Yesterday was the heaviest day eve
known in custom house annals, the deposlte
in the cashiers office reaching ttro huadret

which exceeds by over twenty thousand dol
lars the receipts of any previous day.

Gus, the importations heavy. and the custom
house, spacious as it is. is daily thronged t
degree somewhat uncomfortable to all cor
cerned.
a A million a week has been reached ono
n (and but once) before, under Mr.. Lawrence

The New YoRK HERALD-Last week we
made quotation from the New York Herald,
denunciatory of the present administration.
Wedid this on the ground that straws show
which way the wind blows" We then be-
lieyed that the Herald would not say so unless
forced by the direct pressure of public opinion
We think so yet. Our reason for so thinking
was, that that paper has always been a Tay
lor paper. and, of course. confessions agains
itself, or its own side, have the greater weight
as not being voluntary. The natural infer
ence is that Bennett finds if necessary Rat
desert a falling house." His denunciations 0
Mr.. Polk stand on different basis. That 0
known opposition, and deserve no more at
teption than would those of our neighbor, tn
Chronicle, and everybody knows what the
amount to.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE ON OUR FLAG,
y GEN OUDINoT AND Mn C.ss

:
A letter, addressed. we believe, 10 the Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser, has been going the
rounds OF the press relative to the commissions
OF an alleged. outrage upon the American Con.
sul at Rome by some French soldiers.
We understand that Mr.. Brown, our Con.
SUI. calledin pelson and made representation
Of the facts of this case to Gen. Oudinot. The
general-in chief received him with courtesy.
and listened TO his statement with due atten.
ton, accompanied with all proper expressions
of regret, and, in conclusion, directed the chief
of the staff to return with Mr.. Brown to the
consulate, to collect from. witnesses of the
scene full information IN regard to it.
The next day military court was called
which sat for nine hours, eliciting the facts of
the case, with all the minuteness which dis
| tinguishes the French tribunals. In the course
! OF this examination. it appeared that two of
! Mr. Browns servants Qtalians) had repeated.
/ ", during the day, insulted the French SOL
diers in passing. AT the time in question, an
| individual belonging to a large crowd OF ltal-
ians, which, in defiance of general order of
the day previous, was assembled, 10 the num-
| Der of hundred or hundred and fifty, at the
Consul's house, had drawn a poinard on the
guard. A patrol, passing at the time, entered
the house, not being apprised OF its character,
and made prisoner of the individual in CUES
ton, and of another who was recognized as a
deserter from the French army. They then
withdrew with the prisoners. 1t was in evil
dence upon oath that the patrol deported them
selves without menace, and were uniformed
of the character of the premises until they
were on the point of retiring.
Mr.. Brown left the city with his family
while this examination was in progress, leav-
t ing Mr.. Freeman [our Consul at Ancona.) I'M
the temporary discharge OF the duties of The
Roman consulate In consequence of MIR.
Browns absence, and under the impression
that the consulate was left without an agent,
we understand that Gen. Oudinot addressed a
communication TO Mr.. Cass, our charge DAT
\ flares, in which he recapituated the result OF
!, the examination, substantially as We have
given it above, and expressed the profound
- regret which he had experienced at the error
that had been committed, which had been pre-
: viousIy expressed in person TO the American
i Consul and Vice Consul. He also renewed Il
e MIR. Cass the assurance that no one in thu
French army had harbored the design of dis
: regarding the rights of his country, or ques
&c tioning the inviolability of domicil of diplo
e matte functionaries.
!, Gen. Oudinot further stated, we understand
a that the two prisoners had been released, an
expressed the hope that the communication
: which had been made would be suficien
al satisfaction for the error which had been com
s. mitted, and which could not occur again.

As-The last Chronicle corrects our state

party insisting that a resolution expressive of
the sense of the joint Convention in opposi-
ton to the extension of slavery, and affirming
the power Of Congress 10 exclude it from the
territories, should be passed. The Hunkers
would not admit the power of Congress, al

To be Elected-Estimaie

The next House will be composed of 23l vo-
ting MEMBERSHIP delegates from Minnesota and
Oregon Territories (Messrs Sibley and Thruston)
not being entitled to that privilege of which Is
is majority. Thus it will be seen that the Free
soiers will certainly hold the balance of power.
Should these members in voting choose candidates
from either of the great parties according to their
political affinities, four (Messrs. Wilmot, King,
Durkee. and Julian,) would probably support the
democratic nominees, giving that party lI8 votes,
and the other six blend with the wings, viz
Messrs Giddings, Root, Tuck, Allen, Palfrey, and
Spragne-m making ID votes But 1t is likely each
of the three parties will make their separate NOM
nations, and, by giving this triangular character
to the contest, battle all predictions in relation tc
the organization of the next House.
