WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP. “Bressed am doy dat 'spects Nuffin, for dey ain’t gwine for to be Disapinted "—Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Express has discovered a mare’s nest—actu- ally a full grown mare’s nest! He has found out, he tells the world, that there is a secret combination of some fifteen or sixteen private gentlemen ef Washington, to win the House binding from the next Congress! He does us the honor of naming us (as Wallace of the Sta, —meaning W. D. Wallach, we presume) asone of the arch conspirators. He names the profits of the work at from $20,000 to $30 000 per annum, and gravely assures the reader that fifteen or sixteen gentlemen cf Washington, many of whom, too, have no connection with the printing or binding business whatever, are moving heaven and earth to manage to divide it between them. According to his ac count, the unsophisticated reader will con- clude that cach one of the fifteen is about to spend, this winter, as much to get the work in question, as all it may be worth, Now, there never was a sillier story con- costed in the brain of a nincompoop; for every body here knows well, that the contrac- tor todo the House binding is elceted by the Printing Committee of the House; and that no one can-poszibly be approached on the sub- ject until after the Speaker shall be chos and has appointed the committee. To suppose that fifteen or sixteen men of experience ia this city, even if desirous of combining to ob- tain the work in question, would electioncer, as he says, with each member as he arrives, knowing, as they must, that to seck the votes of any but the three members of the particu- lar committee, will be time absolutely thrown away, is sheer nonsense. As for attempting to guess who those three members may be, that is out of the question; because not ® single gentleman who was on that com- mittee ia the last Congress, happens a mem- ber of the new House. So the whole story is manufactured of whole cloth. So fir as the Star’s editor is concerned, having no party to back him, if he were disposed to be a candidate for any thing at the hands of the House or any branch of its organiza- tion, he would not waste his energies in ary such hopeless contest. While his neighbor of the Organ, backed by & party which that gentleman believes to be very powerful, and being an adept at making victorious arrangements concerning the distri- bution of the spoils, is already counting up in advance how much he will surely have made out of the approaching Congress by the 4th of March, 1857, he (the Star's editor) must fol- luw the example ef the poor boy at the wed ding—must take a back scat, ask for nothing, and be exceedingly grateful if the good things which are to be handed around come even within tittilating distance of his nostrils. Being an organ of no party, he has no party in the House, and asks for nothing more than the continued faver of his business fellow-citizens and subscribers xt » distance. He ehall, as heretofore, strive to deserve it, by laboring hard to keep them supplied with the earliest and most reliable Weshington news, and with an advertising medium that shall continue to be, as up to this time, the best possible channel through which any one in Washington or its vi- cinity having any business whatever with ihe publie, may appeal tothem. Weare going it “full-tilt’”’ afver the binding and printing of our neighbors in Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria especially, of all degrees, and every possible variety of color. We trust that in getting up his next “combination,” the correspondcny cf the Lzpress may be more fortunate in the facts on which he exsays his shrewd curmises. Humiliating.—While Lord Palmerston and the Times are amusing themselves with the belief that they have only to put on the lion’s skin and roar, to frighten the United States out of the defence of their national honor as assailed by the British Government through Mr. Crampton’s illegal operations here, the Courrier des Etats Unis hasbeen publishing the following lamentable expositionof the truth of her (England's) condition as a warlike pow- er, which we extract from the Paris corres- pondence of M. Gaillardct, tothat journal of November 16: For the rest, if even Russia is forced to nsk for peace, (a necessity which I believe to be a3 yet very distant, notwithstanding our suc- cesses,) my conviction is that she wil! not ad- dress herself to Austria, whose duplicity she despises, nor to England, whom nue deterts, but to Peance, whom she esteems even while fighting her. This esteem, which survives defeat, is proved by all the correspondence of St. Petersburg, and by « Jetter from Prince Gortschakoff bimzelf, who wrote lately to one of his friends: ‘ There is a pleasure in fight- ing with the French soldiers; they are reul lions.’ While the Russian and French soldiers pre- serve their mutual eympathies, even when fighting each other, the English and French, who are brethers-in-arms, do not always euc- ceed in effacing their ancient antipathies, if a Paris correspondent of the Independence Belga is to be believed, who states that frequent re- eriminations have burst forth between tho Allies since the capture of Sebastopol. The French soldi elated by their victory, it would seem, attach but little importance to the co-operation of the Engtish since the open- ing of the war, and the “Emperor Napoleon has requested Marshal Pelissier to repress, as far as possible, the indissreet manifestation of this rivalry of amour propre, which might in the end affect injuriously the extente cordiule between the two armies. This moral condi- tion, in an inverse sense, (en sens inverse,) is one of the curious physivlogical results of the Eastern war; and it has exhibited divers other consequences no less curious. Thus, to adduco only some of them, this war, in which Russia and Eogland have been the parties most interested, because the onc wished to extend her dominion and the other to preserve hers—this war has lessened them both morally, while it has elevated France, who had resorted to arms without any object of ambition, and only for the defence of the weak oppressed by the strong. French in- fluence is now preneaterant in Backey, where it was but lately counterbalanced by Russian and English diplomacy M. Gaiilardct, it will be remembered, is an official writer for Louis Napoleon’s Govern- ment, which fact adds stings to the nettles of truth embraced in what we translate above from his pen. Lost Letters —There is uo Department of our Government whose operations come so di- rectly bome to the feelings and interests of every citizen, as the Post Office Department; and consequently, none whose doings are watched with such a jealous vigilance.

In the list list will be found the following: J. A. and W. Bird & Co.,J |S. Gardner & Co., Marsh, Jordan & Co., Burr, Brothers; Geo. W. Ab- hott & Co , Sanborn, Carter & Bazin; Blake, Hare & Co ; Simpson & Caldwell, Geo. Dar- ling & Co., Town, Hendrick & Co.; Fiske & Norcross, G. W. Warren & Co., Geo. Grigzs & Co, Whitney, Lano & Washburn; Chas Griffiths & Co, Ratheay Times, &e., &o This, for Boston only! Philadelphia, Ba!ti- more and other cities have their share as well. Mr. Utheridge, of Tennessee.—The clique who are hoping to clutch more or less of tho patronage of the House by hanging their claims to the tail of the Know Nothing new paper published in this city, have started (through the New York Express,) Mr. Ether- idge, of Tenncesce, as a candidate for the Speakership, supplemental to, or in place of, Mr. Haven. They would greatly prefer Mr. , H., who is more immediately identified with those on whose sympathy they most rely. But Gen, Cullom turns out to be the ugliest possi- ble customer, to all who had hopesof clutching the patronage of the House by making some sort of a combination in which all its minor oflices were to have been duly divided out in advance of the election of the Clerk to be cho- sen to carry out the programme. It soem: to be understood that the General refuses either to get out of the way, or to enter into any bar- gain whatever; and, further, that he has much more strength among the opposition members, than can be controlled by any com- bination of aspirants and other outsiders. Sv» to choke him off the course, as a last resert, Mr. Etheridge is brought forward as a candi date for the Speakership—as it would never do to tako both Speaker and Clerk from the same State, The game cannot possibly win, fr divers reasons, which, in duc time, we msy take occasion to explain. Mr. Penningtoa.—We, yesterday, wrote down the Hon. Mr. Pennington, of New Jer- sey, who is one among the many opposition members whose names are being urged for the Speakership, as having been originally a 5.1- ver-Gray Whig. We learn to-day from a gen tleman mere familiar than ourself with Lis political antecedents at home, that his inter- party affinities were rather with the ultra anti- slavery wing of the former Whig party ; that he joined the Know Nothings soon after they began to assume political importance; and that now he is credited at home with being a warm sympathizer with the Republican organ- ization. We deem it best to publish this brief account of his political antecedents, by way of letting all the world know precisely what he ig as a politician, as we design shedding as much light as possible upon the vexed ques- tion of the qualifications, positions, and pros- pects of the legion of candidates for the offices in the gift of the House. Donn Piatt, Esq., ex Secretary of United States Legation at Paris, writes to the New York Times, denying that he left Fraace owing ten thousand dollars there. He says that his uncancelled obligatione in that coun- try are only eboui an eighth of that amount; that ho was forced, during his official reei- dence there, to spend cight thousand dollars more than his pay; that his departure from that capital waz not clandestine, on account of his obligations, &s represented by the Paris correspondent of the New York Times; and that the American residents in Paris, who pro- fess to feel indignant at the menuer in which he left there are a set of apers of the Euro- pean aristocracy, who owe him a grudge be- cause he would net loan his position in the Legation to minister to their pride and dispo- sition to dishonor the inslitutions of their nom- inal country. He also asserts that he left an accredited agent (Mr. Fleischmann) in Paris, to whom w!! accounts against hith were directed to be presented, and that he expects to liqui- date them as fast as they may be transmitted to him from that city. Self-Defence.—The New York Chamber of Commerce have recently taken occasion to con- sider the subject of the libelling of the bark Maury at the instance of Mr. British Consul Barclay It gave rise, we hear, to intense ex- citement in their hall, That body may well begin thus to look to their righis and interests as thus iuvolyed, if the agents of Britain in this country are to assume the right to as sail them after the same fashion whenever they (the agents aforesaid) may desire in that way to cover up their own violation of the law of the land. Mr. Barclay moved in the bark Maury case, cnly to secm to have some reason for his previous unjustifiable attempts to ia- terfere with the due course of the law here, and at the same lime to raise an excitement counter to that which grew out of the British Government's illegal efforts to recruit among us Ths Printer —The Washington correspor- dent of the New York Courier and Enquirer writes down the original editor of the Know Nothing paper in this city as a candidate for the printing of both Houses of Congress, on an independent Know Nothing hook, and against the aspirations of those who hinge theirclaims on present identification with that newspaper; and, further, that the ex-editor in question designs establishing another Know Nothing newspaper here. This last statement throws diseredit on the whele story, or there is not the least sound philosophy in the adage that “a burnt child dreads the fire.”’ The Doorkeepership.—Candidates for this position, are beginning to ‘spread them- selyes.’’ We hear that the present doorkeeper, Z. K. MoKnew, lieq., is again up for the post, as well as his principal assistant, Mr. Ran- dolph; the latter, we presume, only in case Mr. McK. failsto be elected. We hear further that Captain Darling, formerly of Louisiana, but now of New York, who has spent most of the last half dozen winters in Washington, is also in the field, as well as Mr. A. J. Larner, the clerk to the Mayor of Washington City. The two last mentioned are active Know No- things. An Important Contract Made.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury yesterday closed a con:- tract for the next year, with the enterprising house of Howland & Aspinwall, of New York city, for the transportation of all the specie that may be required at San Francisco for the use of which the Government, iz to receive 2} per cent. premium, from all points. Last year the same house were the contractors at from 1) to 2 per cent , depending on the point from which the money was required to be trans. jerred. Under that arrangement the United States Treasury made about $50,000 in pre- miums. The new arrangement will, of course, yield a larger profit toit, and shows the grow- ing importance and greater safety of the com- merciel business of our Pacific side. There were other bidders for this contract, but none offering so high a premium as that proposed by the successful bidders. The New Custom House at Alexandria, Va.—The Secretary of the Treasury has se- lected as the site forthe new Custom House and Post Office to be builtin Alexandria, Va., the lot at the corner of Prince and St. Asaph’s streets, offered by Taylor, Brown's heirs, and Graham. The price paid for it is $11,250. a Monetary and Commercial.—The following quotations of bonds, stocks and land warrants were furnished us to-day, (November 21,) by Chubb Brothers.

She arrived in this city Monday morning. Uathe passage up the river she was taken vivlently ill, and so continued uatil the boat ariived at the wharf. Then all was bus- tle snd confusion, among the emigrants as among all others, both on the boat and docks. The emigras.ts—live freight—and their lug- gage were speedily hurried off and away to the Central depot. Not so with the poor, il! widow. In the confusion she had been for- gotten, but anxious to continue her journey with her scquaimtantes: 70 we say friends? She managed to walk off the boat to the wharf, but the exertion quite exhausted her physical means and she eank prostrate to the dock Several stevedoros seeing her incapacity to walk, and her evilent prostration with pain, preeured and laid her down be- side a hy ht. Hating dono this charitab: sumed their labors. The ht of till an hour later, ef one who sought her if she telt any better, he found that terim. three boys was born into this breathing, living world.’’ The friendless cmigr: Po longer overlooked; she had when, to the surpri to enqul 3 ussig er, and thither she was conducted with her “little family.’’ Mother and the ‘triplets’? are doing as well as could be expected ** Wuauixe at Care Cop.—Great excitement among the whalemen at Provincetown, Mass., ou Saturday morning last, occasioned by a whale being seen off that place, Some fifteen boats immediately put out in pursuit. About thirty minutes after he was first scen ho was struck by a harpoon from ene of the boats, when he immediately commenced running, dragging the boat, and nearly filling it with water, but in some manner he cleared himself. There have been several in tho harbor within a few days past, but none of them have been captured. They are of the fin-back species. Excitement At Parkvitne.—There was a ood deal of excitement in Parkville on Tues- ay, caused by the appearance of George S Park, the pramisior of the old Parkville Lu- minary, which was thrown into the river last spring, for advocating ae stealing. The citizens had a meeting and appointed a com- mittee to order Park to Jeave town. Some of Park's friends interfered, and they were about to havea fight. At last accounts they had not settled what should be done.—S¢. Louis News, Nov. 15, Curious Cuapter or Crive.—At Candia, H., three young men of unenviable noto- riety, snatched thirty-two dollars from the wite of John Stevens, while she was making cbange for liquor she bad eold them in viola- tion of law. They were prosecuted, snd the man who entered the complaint, had his house burat down the night afterwards. When the day of trial came, the counsel of the accused having threatened Mrs. Stevens with a prose- cution for the sale of liquor if she appeared against them, she cleared out on having the stolen money returned to her, and the delin- quents were consequently discharged. Fing Companies Dispaypep.—Several of the Steubenville, (Ohio) fire companies having ‘ot at loggerheads with the city authorities, pe disbanded. Some of the firemen were having a noisy serenade in honor of the mar- riage of an officer of one of the companies, and several of the partics were azrested and put in jail The companies demanded the release of the prisoners, and, being refused, took their paratus to the Market House, and delivered them up to the city authorities. _ EG A wag in Detroit has been taking liber- ties with the reputation of the Puntiae rail- road.
