Meeting of the next Congress. Yesterday the House of Representatives disposed of the bill fixing the time of meeting of the next Congress by concurring in the Senate bill designating the first Monday in May as the day for the assembling of that body. The Constitution fixes the first Monday in December as the day for the regular meeting of Congress, but it was deemed necessary, in the present and prospective exigencies of our affairs, that the incoming Congress should convene at an earlier day than that set apart by the Constitution. The term of the present Congress will expire on the 18th of next month, but if required the newly elected Congress may be called in extra session by the President during the interim that will exist until the regular day of meeting.

Fire. --About a quarter past 8 o'clock yesterday morning the fire alarm bell was sounded, when attention was directed to large volumes of smoke and flame issuing from the upper part of the west end of the large carpenter shop of Messrs. George & John Gibson, on the corner of Cary and 6th streets. The fire originated in a shed which had recently been built on the wing of the Messrs. Gibson's extensive works, running along Cary street, and had been used as quarters for the negro workmen employed by them. Before it was discovered the devouring elements had spread throughout the entire shed, and for a time it was thought the different departments of this establishment would be totally destroyed; but in an almost incredible short space of time the fire brigade arrived on the ground, and getting a stream on, succeeded in confining the flames to that portion in which the fire originated. The shed, furniture, and clothing therein, belonging to the negroes quartered there were a total

Affairs in Louisiana. Pascagoula, Jan. 25. --A gentleman who left the neighborhood of Covington, La, on the 18th inst., says that on the 7th two of the enemy's gunboats and six transports appeared off the mouth of the river and commenced shelling the marsh, when a Confederate picket of seven men, under the charge of a Sergeant, started from Madisonville in a skiff on a tour of observation, and are supposed to have been captured, the Sergeant being the only one known to have escaped. The fleet then proceeded up the river and took possession of the latter place and four saw-mills which our forces neglected to destroy. They threw out pickets on the Covington road within two mites of that town, and also on the Madisonville road, on the east side of the river. Our informant was at Covington on the 7th, and started for Madisonville the same night, in company with two others, being ignorant of the near approach of the enemy.
