The Next Congress. The Journal of Commerce has prepared complete tables of the next Senate and House of Representative, so far as the elections in the States have been completed, with the object of showing how hopeless would be the attempt to obtain the repeal of the Nebraska bill. The Senate when full comprises 02 members, of whom 58 have been elected. Of these 58 thero are 30 Democrats, 19 Whigs, and 3 Abolitionists. Of the complexion of the Senate the Journal says: Of the 58 Senators elected, 20 voted for the Nebraska bill. To which add Bayard of Delaware, Yulee of Florida, Iverson of Georgia, Bright of Indiana, Crittenden of Kentucky, Adams of Mississippi, Geyer of Missouri, Briggs and lleid of North Carolina, Pugli of Ohio, and Evans of South Carolina, (11,) all of whom are known to be favorable to the Nebraska measure, and wo have a total of 37 already elected, who are in favor of it. Tlien add Clayton of DolflXVO rnr 1 * nuu, uioujjii ne voted against the bill, has since declared himself opposed to its repeal, and we have 38 Nebraskaites already elected. Of the four vacancies, one in Alabama and one in Missouri will, almost to a certainty, be filled with Nebraska men, making a total of 40, without including any chance which there may be for Nebraska men in the remaining two vacancies, one in Indiana, and one in Pennsylvania. In round numbers, it may be said that two-thirds of the new Senate will be in favor'of, the Nebraska measure, and a still larger number, against its repeal. Araong the latter, we presume, may be included ?ell of Tennessee, and Houston of Texas. , ' : So (a* as the elections are completed, the House ^of Representatives is composed of 10 Administration Democrats and 104.Opposition. Sixty members are yet to be elected from districts represented in the last Congress by 20 Whigs and 40 Democrate. The position of those elected on the Nebraslfc question is thus stated by the Journal; rr Of-.th* 67 members .^rho voted for the Nebraska Bill from the States which have already chosen their delegations to the new ' *:. Congress,- twenty-eight (if we include Mike Walsh) are fe-elected. Of the 93 in the same States who voted against it, 35 are redoctedi.^ .Of the members elect to the-new Congi^ ^<#!,*Fore rwt members of th? nM Congress, or Were absent when the vote was taken, a considerable number are understood to be Nebraska, men, among -whom J are Rfafc, of ^rkansAgff Hall, of" Iowa ;i Kenneit, Porter and tfptiiere, <$ Missouri; Deoerer and California; Cadwslader, of M'Queen, ' * " ' ' *} l>e in favor of tho measure from the above mentioned States. The States yet to elect : gave 40 votes for the bill, and we know of uo good reason for anticipating a less number favorable to the measure, in the delegations about to be elected. On the contrary, 'the probability is that most or all of those i Southern members who voted against the bill, or abstained from voting, will, on the question of repeal, (they c*r successors) be found in the negative. Let us see, then, how the account stands. In the States that have thus far chosen, there have been rc-elected, who voted for the bill .... 28 Tho nine States which have not yet voted, being all slavcholding States, gave for the bill - - - - 46 Absentees from said nine States when the vote was taken - V New Members thus tar electcd, who are understood to be in favor of the bill, or at least opposed to its repeal - 19 Total - - - 100 Eighteen more voles would make a majority of the llouse. It is not impossible nor very improbable that this number will be found (among the one hundred and thirtyfour members not included in the above calculation,) who will oppose repeal, although some of them voted against the bill on its passage. In other words, it is by no means certain that a bill to repeal the Nebraska Law can pass the House. But if it should, it will be defeated by a large majority in the Senate. And before a new Congress is elected, Nebraska will probably be knocking for admission into the Uniou as a State. iV \ AIXARLE i able. 1 following table will be found exceedingly valuable to many of our readers : A box 24 inches bv 10 inches square and 28 inchcs deep, will contain a barrel (5 bushels.)

The grain is line, and free of all smut and rust, and consequently, we may expect the very best flour. It will come in most opportunely for the country. Everywhere we receive favorable accounts of the wheat crop. Indeed, all the crops ajje promising at this time. The seasons have? been good during the latter part of the spring.? Greenville Patriot.
