The Senate is likely to be thinly attended on the
Sd. There are four vacancies in that body, and
we already know that several Senators will be una
BILE, from indispostion, to attend. Senators Doug
las, Of Illinois, and Johnson Of Arkansas, are un
fortunately, detained at home by indisposition
Senator Rusk, of Texas, will be detained by BUSH
ness Of urgent Importance before the Legislature
of his State. The acceptance by the Legislature
of that State Of the act Of Congress for the adjust
ment of the Texan creditor question is a matter Of
great moment

Orders were received yesterday at the Navy Yard,
to launch tho new steam-frigate Minnesota on
Saturday, at high-water. This will occur about IL
7 NJ. The Minnesota in size, beauty of model and
to any Of her FIVE sisters, and will confer the
highest credit upon the naval constructor-Mr
Pook, on this stati0n--and the numerous corps OF
artisans, by whom she has been built. We pre-
sumo that every requisite preparation will be made
to accommodate the large crowd Of spectators who
will attend the launch.
