An interesting article, of more than ordinary
>sDgth, givipga sketch of the six members of Con-
sre,s elect from this city, appears in our columns
to day. This article, giving much information on
Incidental points connected with these biographical
notices, will, we think, attract attention, as we
have prepared it with much care, and after great
research, from other sources than could have been
furnished by the of the sketches themselves
These notices, without their aid, will be doubtless
novel to them, with regard to many points, as to
eur readers generally. The complete list of all the
members of Congress elected from this city since the
adopting Of the constitution, which appears at the
close Of the article, has not been easily made up.
It will be preserved by many, as the only correct
LIST Of the kind yet published. 1t will probably be
copied without credit by those Of our contempora-
rss Of the press who consider the result Of such Ia
boTs public property, and to be used as the appro
Priators to their own use think proper.
Yesterday being the Sabbath, of course but little

without any further particulars relative to the

Belle, by which fifteen or sixteen human beings

vana. We shall probably know something abou
that affair from headquarters in few days.

81 = most infamous outrage upon the American brig
Lothera, by q wrecking schooner from Key West,
assisted by some three hun ired spaniards. II ap-
pears that the Lothera having previously got ashore
had been delivered up to the underwriters and sold
for their benefit The purchasers proceeded 10 take
Out the cargo and strip the vessel, when they
attacked and driven away by the parties before
mentioned. Does this not come under the head of
@'piracy on the high seal" and would it not be as
well for some Of our men ofwar to look after these
dangerous customers!
The cotton market at New Orleans is reported to
be still very active. Nine thousand bales changed

New York was not the only city where snow fell
yesterday. At one o'clock in the afternoon it was
snewing in Philadelphia it fell at intervals through

weather hold out, we may expect to hear the
sleigh bells in few days.
Sixty persons died from yellow fever, and nine

highly interesting information from South America,
mot the least important Of which is the announce
nent Of trouble between General Urquiza, the new
Dictator of the Argentine Confederation, and the
United States Consul. The proposed union of the
governments Of Venezuela, New Granada, and Ecu
