First Steamboat Arrival,

Aot NtVoAUUVat IA1IIVdl,
Last evening, about eight o'clock, a
steamboat was distinctly heard, four or
five miles below, and the whole town
was instantly agog. In few minutes
the familiar whistle of the Nominee was
heard just around the point, which was
soon drowned by the shouts of the elated
CT liens. Presently she made the landing
amid the deaiening cheers of all St. Paul
and those on board. Capt. Smith informs
us that ne had much difficulty in getting
through the ice. The lake is not vet
broken up, and he had TO take advantage
of favorable gust Of wind, which drove
it across the lake, while the boat crowded
up along shore. The ice was still very
firm.
Our fellow-citizens, Major Fridley the
Winnebago agent, d. l.. Fuller, J. Nc
CIoul, Jr., and ]. w. Vincent, together
with some two hundred and fifty others,
were passengers.
Maj. Fridley brings the welcome news
that there is no doubt about the ratitica-
ton Of the Sioux treaties; probably they
are through ere this.
The Wings have carried the charter
election in Saint Louis, re-electing their
popular Mayor, l.. M. Kennett, and all
the city officers, except Recorder. A
disgrace ul riot occurred at The first ward
polls on the day Of election, between the
Germans and native born citizens. One
or two were killed, many wounded and
several houses destroyed.
The steamer Glencoe blew up at St
Louis, ON the evening of the 4th, making
sad havoc among those on board. a
great number were killed and wounded.
The steamer Redstone exploded on the
Sd, killing nearly all her passengers ane
crew.
The Excelsior, from St. Louis, arrived
about IL o'clock last night.

LOUIS NAPoLEoN's ENGLISH D1NNEI
PARrY.--The s'Albion," published in New
York city and edited by an Eng'ishmal
who pays much attention to British af
fairs, ridicules the declaration in relation
to peace, made by Louis Napoleon to thu
forty-five English gentlemen who Ginet
with him on the 2Sih of January. 1t re-
marks pithily enough: "a few simpl,
persons have quoted this declaration as
proof that no such foolish scheme Gas al
attack upon England, is lurking in tn,
semi-royal breast. Now if the proiec
were mere question of time, we shoulc
have taken this announcement as direc
evidence to the contrary, and have expec
ted declaration Of war to follow imme
diately upon it. Did not the arch hypo
critic smile in his saloon, on the evenin,
of the first OF December, upon some O
those who, on the following morning, wer
prisoners under his charge? Pity is ii
that we have not the names of these for
ty-five guests. Perhaps they will no
leak out, since the vulgar parvenneus VIII
could not resist the temptation Of beir,
feasted by Prince in palace, are OF tina
vain breed who rejoice to see their name
in print. We regret that so many Eng
hshmen of the upper classes could hav
been found in Paris, willing to accept I'll
Inequalities from blood-stained hand
and must presume that, in addition to tn
set just limited at, the party was made O
heartless rogues, the associates Of Loui
Napoleon's debauchery, with perhaps her
and there an honest, amiable, clever. bu
most credulous old gentleman Of the schot
of Sir Francis Bond Head"
From the Catholic Almanac for 1856:

States, 6 archbishops, 20 bishops, 1873
priests, l4ll churches, and Cathol
