COKKFSrOMr:Mi;. Washington, Dec. 27th, 1855. The monotony of voting for Speaker of the t House, has bee n relieved during the past fe w days, by short and spirited sjeeches. They ; have only served tbe purpose, however, of relieving gentlemen of a commodity, generally called gas, of which there is an abundant slock on band. It has retarded rather than advanced the election of Speaker. On Wednesday last, a resolution wasadop-; t- 1 to continue in session until a Speaker was t kctcd. Most of the members supposed that it was passed iu good faith, and tbat it was the intention to stay there day and night. , until a Speaker should be chosen; but at 4 o'clock on the same day the house took a recent until the next day at 10 o'clock, The only difference was that the word resets was' used instead of adjourn, and lhe meeting two hours earlier than usual. Courts sometimes j itarve juries into the rendering of a verdict, ' but juries would hardly impose such a penalty upon themselves, and it could hardly be expected that member of Congress would , carry out such a proposition, even though j stif-iinposed, whilst they had the power to j repeal it. To day tbe resolution was rescind-; tJ- - I Iu uuUcipatiun of a protracted session, as j the non-adjourning resolution implied, Mr. j Campbell of Ohio, otfered a resolution invit- j ing Gen. Orr of South Carolina to preside! until a Speaker be elected; giving as a reason for the otlering of the resolution, that in all j night sessions there are occasional scenes of j disorder and turbalence unbecoming the dig- j nity of Congress, and that it was necessary ! to have an officer duly authorized to enforce, as strictly at possible, the common parliaruen- j tary law. Considerable opposition was man-: ifestod upou the Republican side of the House, and this morning Mr. Campbell withdrew the '. resolution. I was opposed to Mr. Campbell's resolution, not so much because any advan-' tage could result to the administration party, by having Gen. Orr in the Chair, as the fact that I did not beiievo night sessions would be held. I had not yet s-en any evidence that ' members of tha Hou.se were disposed to fore-: go the pleasures of the dining room, for the purpose of electing a Speaker; and in my brief Ugislalive life I have seen but little good result from night session. (juito a teem was gotten up to-day between onie of the members of the Pennsylvania delegation. A Mr. Millward from that state, nn American we believe, rose in bis place and ' charged that he bad been offered the place' of Chairman of the committoe on Knravinjr' and Lithography, if be would vote for Mr, I Hanks, and gave the name of Mr. Pearce, his colleague, as the person offering the bribe. He also s'ated that Mr, Pearce told him he, was authorized by Mr. llink to make the offer. Mr. Pearca denied the latter part of ti e charge and stated that he was not author-' izsd by Mr. Hanks to make any pledge whatever. Mr. Banks also declared that he had not authorized any one to make any pledges and tli ut ho would scorn to make any him-' self. Mr. Pearce virtually admitted lhat he tried to induce Mtllward to vote for Banks and intimated tbat it would pay him to do so. Tl e matter got up quite a muss, but ended in a mere question of veracity between the two gentlemen but there will be no fight. We would regret it if there should be, for if every bargain made to obtain vot were to end' in a Cgbt, Congress would present a gladiatorial ring rather then a deliberative body. A Mr. Marshall from Kentucky, then charged that other bargains had been made, but as he was not just then prepared to substantiate them he would not specify, but made some awful threats as to what be believed would be done. ' Perhaps we shall have another scene to-mor-; row. ! Ia tbe last Palladium, I notice you say that ' Mr. Dunn bad voted for Mr, Fuller. He has not done so. I bops tbat before this reaches; you, we will have elected a Speaker, and that' it will be X. P. Banks of Massachusetts. He is democratic iu all but bis anti slavery prin- j ciples, and for the purpose of securing freedom to all the territory of tbe Federal Union, j I ant willing to forget all anUcedenU. In j this grat Republican movement, the only j questiou should be, "la be the firm friend of ; Freedom, tbe Constitution and tbe Loion. With an affirmative answer to this question, I am coutent. H.

Something encouraging, tho", in the President's declaration that the citizens of Kansas "must be protected ia tbe exercise of their rights!" when bis course is considered ia the removal of Reeder and the sppointment of Shannon!

The President states that he ha delayed until this time his annual communication to the two lloa-es in consequence of the nonorganiiationof tb House but hisconvictions ot duly will not permit him to delay any longer giving to Congrcs- information of the state of the, Union, and recommending such measures as be judges necessary or expedient, He commences by giving a history of Central American affair in particular. He refers to the recent trouble in Kansas, and says that her people must be protected in the exercise of their rights without interference on the part of the people of any other State, He commend the subject to the early at - tention of Congress.

Ki iTous Pall.viii".m: As the subject of buildiiisr M'-'othcr school house is the subject of coriveisa'.ion and kiiscuiou, 1 hope you will not think it out of place in ma to give some of my views on lhe t-uhjecl, through your paper. First, then, 1 consider that tiiere is but one question before tho people of Richmond. fr their decision; aud although it is uime I to be hid in the mist of chool house or iiO school house." it amounts to just this arc the citizens o! Richmond in f ivor of the City Council issuing the bonds of tho city, as proposed bv the council, for the purpo-e of buildl:!: tho aforesaid school house. As hirns mv on views are concerned, I am opposed lo the bonds beiiiij issued, as has been proposed; that is, for the first one to become patahleiu 185!). and one each year thereafier uiuil ail are paid, for the reason that I consider that o.xiii policy would require that there should not beany ciy debt contracted to stand for any longer time than will enable, us to pay the suae by taxation. Aud 1 think that when we compare the following statements, we will find a :roim argument in favor of shortening the time ami increinrr the amount of bonds, so ns to issue Uie S12.0UU. in. say three bonds, of 5S4.0OU each; on S12.00U to run as proposed by council, we will have paid as follows, by the time they aro cancelled: "Bonds 812,t-'A. discount 82,040. interest SG.lv'O 5?ioloC; on which we will receive SJ.PGJ cash, to begin with, issuing I,2'J0, to run three, four and Jive years, we will have, bonds 5l.2CH.iO, discount !'oJ. interest SCO, making S 1 i.c-4'J, a;.d wid receive Jll.tiO to be'in with, showing 81,080 saved in discount, and a difference of S3.2CU in interest in favor of the bonds for the shorter time. But in your la-t paper you undertake to show that the bonds can ba paid, principal and int.. by a tax of 15 cents on the 1U0 dollars and as I do not think you have posted your books correctly. I hope you wiil pardon me if I show the account as i think it would bf?, very nearly: Taxable property of city in I85t. fc2.0U0.0OU at 15 cts. 83.0UO: re ceived from .Sale. 1.750; Warner Building perpetual loan, S24U; amounting to S4 9d; Teachers salaries, '$4,4 XI; rentof school houses, S25J; janitor and incidentals, $000; to which add int. on bonds, 9tiJ amountin;' to S0.4 1O; leaving a balance against schools of 1.420. l or 1C57 the account would be; taxable.

My own impression is that it wid tK a steady tar of 25 rents on the hundred dollars, to meet the bonds, pay our other city exp nses an t keep up the schools. I have not included iu this calculation any thing for scholars who may pay tuition fes, for the reason that almost every one wiih whom I have conversed, concur wi'h me in the opinion that we hae enough ctol Iren belonging to the school corporation who ought tt and vc'iuld. be at school, if we hal theacoommoda.iotisjjtor thens. to fiil the boue that is proposed to be buiit. and that ther-f.r, there would not bp any room for such scholr, without excluding some of our own which ought not to be done. These are svme ideas that have occurred to me in thinking upon this subject, and if any person can convince me tlit I am in error, I am open to conviction, but until such is the case, I intend to pursue such course as se ma right to Die let some interested ones call me anti-free.-school.or what they please, and I hope that all my feilow citizens will pursue the same iadepeadent course. TAX PAYER. P. S. In order to meet the 84GOO bond as tbey fall dae. it would take a tax of about 25 ei-nts on the 8100 for two rears, and about 40 cents for three years, intteal of 25 cents for fourteen years, as ia the other case.

tiiat there will be m spring campaign. Austria has of course been instrumen t j r .ranging terms upon which this pe. U U be ' -o:.c!udcd. From the NVw York darter and Einjulrer. whose editor r.-e.ved aprirs :cr from one whov poSi:.e kti owWde IM th subject is vouched tor. w.copr the follow 'm ,. Ei K .t s a r Piiac:. We li.tve con .jl asserted that, in our judgment, there woald bs 'nn spring campaign between the Allied poW. ers Hitl liussia, because the pii.i.m of .mtria is such, lhat sl.e whoul.i le compelled to jiake pari in such t-ampaigti in b-h!f f or gvu!!st the W stern pwer. V b!ieve li.erefore. that she would comjiel a ui ae". quiesee in reasonable terms; but we did nvit ;uppos that the mv.ier would be si promptly settle las it appears to Imve been Our , pri.te advices by the Am, however, remove ' m11 doubt in our minds, that the terms for excluding an immediate peace between the V. tern Powers and Kussia, have been definitely arranged by Austria, been accdedto by lias- : s;a, have received the assent of the Emperor Napoleon, and hare beeu reluctantly acijuiced ; in by England. 1 I t. is is indeed important and gratifvinr iuj teliiger.ee; and it may be implicitly rvhed on, i notwithstanding tbe opinions of the European j Press aud all the correspondents of the American Press to the contrary our own included. Of course, it cannot ba expected of u ' to reveal the source of our information, tsuftice it to say. it is conveyed in a letter written to us by direction of one fo k notes, and in : hasty note to us savs: "I have requested to write you ia regard to the probable termination of the wr; but even he is not permitted to know the almost certainty of that event; and our Press is : strangely befogged upon the subject." ' We give below the letter refetred to; written, as we have said, by direction of one who knows everything in relation to the subject upon which it treats: Londo.v, Dec. 7. I think I may vfnture to assure you that there is a strong probability of an early termination of the Ecglnud wnr. I believe tint Austria lias certainly submitted proposition 19 Prance and England for its conclusion, with the assurance, that if acccp ed by them and afterwards rejected by Kussia, she will immediately put au end to all hesitancy on ihr subject, and join with the Allies against the Cir. These propositions, I am assured, receive Louis Nnpoleon's approval, and he expressed his w illingness to accede Jo them; aud tU , Ilriiis.li Government have, somen li.it reluc- ; tan'ly, adopted his policy. j These proposals stipulate. 1st. To convert the Black Sea into a commercial one. as a substitute for the third of the Vienna four pointj. excluding the services of ; ail nations from it; and ! 2d. The whole course of the Danube, its ' mouths included, to be entirely released from Russian control. ! That the Emjerorof Russia will accept these propositions, t an hardly be doubled. By so doing lie will preserve the honor of his realm tr he cannot cuccessfuliy war with the Allied i with Austria also against him. The contest has already told fearfully 011 Russia. Her resources of men and money ar nearly exhausted, and disguise ita they mav. the lti-sirj people, like the English, would hail the return ui peace wiih ac huna ions of delight, ihould ; peace be concluded , Lord Palm.-rsio i' resignatioti of the Premiership, i possible; and in ' that case, an immediate settlement of nil ilia existing question (f difference between lh Lnited S.aesand this country would probably folio; and cordial relation thus be res- ; lored among the leading nations of the earth. In connection with, and confirmatory of ih ; above, we publish the following special tclI graph dispatch from Washington, lo lhe Nr I Yolk Tribune ot Tuesday. ! I state on good authority lhat the Adminis- ! (ration received by the last mail from Europe, i official advices to this effect: j Austria has submitted an ultimatum to j Frauce and England, which they can accept, jand substantially have accepted. I cannot I state its precise nature, bul it is based oa the ! celebrated Four Points, and inclines to tU j Western interpretation of them. Austria engages now to present it to Russia, aud standi ! pledged to the Allies, as a condition precedent of their asent to it, that, if huttiaujtcts it, then she is Vj declare vur and male cotumon cause utthtle Allies. You cau guess whether this ultimatum fca or has not been submitted to the Russian Cabinet iu advance. At all kvents. I think ii :trengihen the prospect of peace. ' '1 he whole aliair looks r.ot only pos'iblt, but quite probable. The terms upon which the ;-fiCe is to be concluded, aie fir more favorable than Russia had a liht to expect, while they secure the objecu for which ti war wa commenced, viz: the protection of Turkey against Russia, and a curtailment of the aggressive power of the Northern Aau . crat. If the foregoing statemen's are correct, ssl as before intimated, there are strong reasoe , for so regarding them, the period u not distant.when peace a-ill reign throughout ti border of the leading nation of Esrope. Iteiligence of th conclusion of a pe would operate favorably on the commtfc"! interests of this country, though the immediate tendency would doubtless be t depre our produce markets; but the Iosms in ih respect, would be more than cou&terb!aocei by the gains in oti er branches of baine. We have bai sufficient experience uconvio us lhat our commerce is too eloly c--ne 'l i with that of Great Rritaiu. and lht we ' too much dependent upon tle latter, to gi ; general or permanent advantage from a u of affairs that depress the interest of t: country. The conclusion of an honorable peace would be favorably receired in Eng.sad, as it would also, to a very great en'.ent by, tis people on this id of lls Atlantic. j Paar.
