THE SPEAKERSHI?—TERRIBLE EXCITEMENT IN THE HOUSE—-CHARGES OF BRIBERY SND OOBRUPTION— MR. BANKS IMPLICATED—-THE STEAM FRIGATE ROANOKE, Wasuiwotoy, Dec. 27, 1855. Great excitement prevailed in the House to-day, Me Panks wanted but three votes to elect, when an attempt was made and exposed to brine Mr. Millward, of Pennsyl- vania, with the chairmanship of the Committee on En- gravinge. It was charged that Mr. Pearce, of Penusylva- nia, tendered thg bribe, as he said, with the sancticn of Mr. Banks, Mr. Pearce denied tt. Mr. Banks said he had made no pledges, nor had he authorized any one to do so, Mr. Paine, of North Carolina, said he had heard Mr. Pearce say that he (Pearce) had ‘“‘assurances,’’ if Mr. B. was elected Spenker, the coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania would be cared for, Hon. A. K. Marahall, of Kentucky, said that there were charges against Mi Punks which, if trae, would prevent any honorable man from voting for him. These charges he wished to inves- tigate; and if members would stand square up to what they had told him, he would prove them true. An exciting debate ia anticipated to-morrow, if the members alluded to by Mr, Marshall shall arrive in tine. ‘The end ia not yet. Tlestn from the Chic!

Wasmxctoy, Dee, 27, 1855. After the first ballot to-day, Mr. Banks’ friends were in Ligh glee, believing he would be clected before the day closed; but Mr. Millward’s exposé of attempted brbary and corrmption, which brougnt out others, threw the Ticuso {nto great confusion and excitement. Banks and his band stood firm. The overweaning solicitude of hiy friends well nigh killed him. What the result of this will be, to-morrow ’s proceedings will determine, Quite « batch of exesutive appointments wero received by the Senate to-day. The Kankas appointments wore among them. Shannon, it is believed, will not pass the ordeal. ve. Pp THE ADMINISTRATION ALARMED—A CLAIM OF GENE- RAL SCOTT'S ALLOWED—THE NEW ORLEANS FLLI- LUSTERS. Wasuixotox, Dec. 27, 1865. The election of Banks {s placed almost beyond a doubt now. The govesnmont desire more earnestly than at any time previous the organization of the House. If there ‘be not a sufficient accession to Banks’ strength to elect him, enough cemocrata will absent themselves to give hint a majority. This result is not uniikely to occur to- morrow, At all events, it cannot be postponed much longer. John Wheder will not vote for Banks, even tn an emergency where it would eleet hw. A claim of Licutenant Cenergl Scott, for seven thon- sand dollars, which had been pending several years, has recently been allowed him by this admimstration. Instructions similar to those given to Mr. MoKeon were sent to Mr. MoCoy, the United States District Attor- ney at New Orleans, to wit: that measure: #hoald be takcn to detect and d+feat all preparations for the mva- eion of Niearsgna, and tbe reception of those instruc ticns has Wen acknowledged by lettera received hore yesterduy, B SENATOR CLAYTON AND THE PRESIDENCY—TH CRAMPTON AYTAIR--COL.

Wasmxctox, Dec. 27, 1856, Senator Clayton, in answer to a request to allow his nome to go before the ‘“‘American’’ Convention as a can- didate for the Presidency, says that he profers his presont positfon as 4 United States Senator, and declines being a candidate. Lord Palmerston hae written a private lotter to a dis- tinguished gentleman now in Washington, stating that the British government anticipates the dixmissal of Mr. Crampton by this government. It is reported that certain documents have just been reecived by government from Texas, which may lead to the orrest and detention of Parker H. French by process of law. Oniciat information received from the Spanish an- thoritics, relative to the selzure of the bark Amelia on the coast of Hayti, states that she was suxpected of being engaged in filfbustering designs against Cuba, and the do- cuments contain evidence to prove that charge.

THE SPEAKRRSAT No quorum: was present on tho re-assembling of tho House this morning at ten o'clock. There was conse- quently a cail of the House, when 184 members answer- ed to their names. Mr. Comme, (black rep.) of Ohio, remarked that he understood this morning some felewls of the pro- porition of Mr. Stephons for a continuous sesstom till a Speaker shall be elected, are alsporod to reseind it in order that the House may go on in the usnal way with the election of Speaker, The pro- ceedings of yesterday demonsteated that there was nothing practical in It.
