The following is the ofli- i il nunwencement re ceived in l'aris of Russia's aen-ptance of the RALEIGH. N. C. Mr. Toombs, of Ga,, said he had no doubt but wrong and injustice had been done to the officers by the Naval Board. He advocated a revision of the'lobbies now a duty to perform to our country.

It eon be manufactured much more than the article at present in use,—the Kmponents of which are nut-oil, lamp-black, Hud a small quantity of indigo. It was finally postponed for further considera tion. . Many bills were introduced, among which was one for the- extension of the term of naturaliza tion. oath to the members, and a joint committee, con sisting of one from the Senate and one from the House, was appointed to inform the President of the organization of the two Houses, and their readiness to receive any communication.from him A resolution proposing to elect the Clerk of the House by viva voce vote was tabled, by a vote of 103 to 85. A resolution declaring. Gen. Wm. Cullom, (Am.) of Tennessee, Clerk of the House, was ad opted, by a vote of 126 to 87. [Mr. Cullom received the votes of all the Re publicans present, excepting Messrs. Billinghurst, Bliss, Brenton, Day, Holloway, Leiter, Nichols, Spinner and Watson, combined with all the A- mericans present, excepting Messrs. Eustis, 11. Marshall, A. K Marshall and Mr. Walker.] The Speaker announced, to Gen. Cullom his election, and administered the^qistojuayy. ^wi. The seats for members were then drawn for and located. Tuesday, February 5th. In the Senate Mr. .Foote made a warm speech on Central Ameri can affairs. He proposed that we make a direct declaration to England of our purpose to enforce To Which party? I Will p»t was Humphrey Marshall’s question to CiingnLin, in the House of Representatives, «to which branch of the Pierce Party do you be long?” And pray, to which branch does Bierce himself h^on^ At the North, the Nebraskaites proclaim that measure,—the Kansas-Nebraska Bill,—as favorable to freedom and a death-blow to the extension of slavery;—at the South, its friends declare it to be the very salvation,—the sine qua non, of southern rights and southern property. Look at the letters of Cambrelling, ftplair, and many others, who have heretofore Been the main pillars of the Democracy at the North. Can any man be so blind as not to see, at a glance, the double game which the present Administration is playing? The movement made by leading men of that party in the House, secure the election of Banks, by the adoption of the plurality rule, foreshadows what they are I -‘-ready and willing to do, to perpetuate their power. If this proved unavailing, and all negotiations became exhausted, he advocated giving her for mal notice that she must withdraw from the Central American possessions by a given day. If she then still held out, he would have her .re moved by force of arms. Mr. Wilson next obtained the floor. In the House, Mr. Glossbrenner, Democrat, at-Arms, by resolution. The vote stood 103 to 98. A resolution was adopted by a vote of 119 to 96, declaring Nathan Darling, Republican, door The clerk read the vote as follows: Mr. Banks received 103, Mr. Aiken 100, Mr. H.

The American party would have K‘come down,” as did the squirrel before Captain ’Scott pulled trigger, at the first intimation of his .intention to lift his piece. But Mr. Sydney A. Smith is an aspiring young politician—he likes, very naturally, to figure in the papers,—and ac- cordingly he appears in the last “Standard in a lengthy article, giving, for the enlightenment of mankind in general aud of Johnston County in par- Kicular, his reasons for deserting the American par- Hty. But while cutting a “figure,” Mr. Sydney A. I Smith should be mindful as to what sort of a one he cute. Those who have heard him, within a I ft few months past, express his continued devotion to the American cause, will be apt to think it ra- ther an unenviable one. The uncharitable, too, will be inclined to believe that any grown up ■Irian!—a graduate of the University, too, who could be an active and zealous member of a po- ■Jitical organization for upwards of a year, before ! discovering that he was the victim of imposition I aud deception, stands in need of a guardian.

The resolution was passed, after an amendment ihgton distributors of the money. The House proceeded to the’election of printer viva voce. The followingis the result of the first ballot:—0.

The House voted twice more for printer with out a choice. WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE? No truly national man can object to the non- intervention principle of. the Kansas-Nebraska bill, but many are of opinion that it was unne cessary to go on legislating upon the subject, when the principle had been previously estab lished by the Compromise of 1850, and was ac quiesced in by a large majority of the people North and South. The slavery clause of the Kan sas-Nebraska, act gave the scoundrel leaders of Abolition at the North an excuse to “agitate,” and an opportunity to reconstruct their then decayed and- broken-down political fortunes. And what have been the results ? Seward, Greeley, Van Buren & Company, have built up a great, so-called, “Republican Party;” which has elected the Speaker of our national house meat. ’See',—I appeal to those who have been acting with me .thus far, aud whose conduct, whose fearless defence of their principles have commended them not only to their friends abroad, { „ „ but even to their enemies—see what it is now ( basis of an immediate convention for a treaty of our duty to do. Our chieftain—I left him with peace.” as much reluctance as ever Highlander left his chieftain—has fallen, but with the love ol his 1 friends and the admiration of. his enemies.— The form of this announcement produced an immense sensation in Paris, and it was.construed as a virtual, termination of the war. And we [Great applause in the galleries.] What is now I my duty ?

Culleu, Davis, of Maryland, Milward and Whitney—6. For Mr. Campbell—Messrs. Dunn, Harrison, Moore and Scott—4. For Mr. Wells—Mr. Hickman. Mr. Benson, of Maine, one of the tellers, de clared Mr. Banks elected. [Deafening shouts on the Republican side and in many other quar ters.] ; Mr. Banks, by the request of the clerk, was then conducted to the chair by Messrs. Aiken, of South Carolina, Fuller, of Pennsylvania, and Campbell, of Ohio. ’ Amid the most profound silence, succeeding the cheers with which he was greeted, he said: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives :— Before 1 proceed to complete the acceptance of the office which you have conferred on me, I avail myself of your indulgence to express my obliga tion for the honor conferred upon me. It would afford far greater pleasure were it ac companied by the slightest assurance that I could bring to the discharge of the arduous and delicate duties (always difficult, but now envi roned with unusual difficulties) any capacity commensurate with their responsibility and dig nity. I can only say that I shall bear myself, so far as I am able, with fidelity to the interests and institutions of the country and government, and with impartiality so far as regards .the rights of members of this House. I have no personal objects to accomplish—I am animated by the single desire of contributing, in some little degree, to the maintenance of the well-established principles of our government in their original American signification, and in de veloping that por ton of the continent which we occupy, so far as we may do so within the legiti mate power conferred upon us, enlarging and swelling its capacity for beneficent influences both at home and abroad, and maintaining intact and in perpetuity the inestimable principles transmitted to us structioni despatch implies, they are accepted as an end to hostilities. Russia, in effect, is already bound by them in honor, and further hostilities can only- arise from bad faith on one side or the other.— All that remains to be done is to construct a treaty of peace upon the basis presented in the propositions. If this is so, there can be. no. lon ger a doubt that Russia has suffered very severe ly; and that she has reason to apprehend much greater, disaster in the campaign .which menac s. her. Upon the motion of Mr. Clingman that the House confirm the election of Banks,— Mr. Paine, of North Carolina, remarked that he desired, when his name was called, upon the last vote for Speaker, to give the reasons why he should no longer vote with his party as a party man, but was willing, when the contest was nar rowed down between two gentlemen, to give his vote for the gentleman from South Carolina. He loved this Union; it wai dearer to him than any parties or party considerations; and there were no circumstances which had occurred or could that would ever induce him to vote fora man, as Speaker of the House or for any high re sponsible political statioM under this government, who had declared himself in favor of a dissolu tion of the Union. Maintaining these principles, he could not vote to confirm the election of the gentleman from Massachusetts. As would be well remembered, when that gentleman was charged with having made a speech in the State of Maine in which he declared that he was wil ling “to let the Union slide,” the gentleman un dertook to explain what be meant by it, remark ing that if the General government should foster any one institution at the expense of another, he would consider the Union no longer desirable, and would be willing “to let it slide." Had the General Government ever undertaken to pursue such a course ? No exigency, then, for a disso lution of the Union had ever arisen. There must have been some other reason for this speech.— He would state to the House that the distinguish ed gentleman from Massachusetts, no longer than eighteen months ago, in this city, declared to a gentleman who was in favor of a dissolution of the Union, that he himself was an advocate of disunion, and desired his co-operation into The guiding star of Mr. P.’s life had been his devo tion to the Union, and ho would never vote to place any man in the Speaker’s chair or in any other responsible political station who maintain ed such a sentiment as the one to which he had alluded. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE In England, excites a good deal of characteristic —but, on the whole, not unkindly,.—comment. Upon the. question of the.; British Enlistments for the Crimea, the. general opinion..seems to be that- ('he British government, in disavowing any intention to violate the municipal laws of the C. States, has given all the apology that the case requires—and an apology’ that ought to be en tirely satisfactory at Washington. That is the opinion, we say ; the impression is, that the apo logy is considered sufficiently accepted .by the people of the Union,—but . that the President and his Cabinet are bent on.making as much an’ ado ’ about it as possible, in "order to manufac ture party capital for the approaching Presiden tial Election. The 'Limes thinks the British go vernment has made a “ reparation” that would be thought “ ten times more than suffici ent by the dignified Courts of the old world,” —.but if Brother Jonathan is bent on something more, he is begged to assure himself that “the people of England will no/ submit to undeserved and gratuitous humiliation.” The Spirit, of the Press at large is much in the same vein. All de precate a collision between the two countries,— and all, as unanimously, unite in the opinion, that if such a calamity is possible, it will be the DIED.

The family and friends of the de ceased have reason to mourn over the irrepara- bl e loss of.one sb highly respected and universally beloved by all who knew him. His unexcep tionable moral character, and his example for good behavior and probity and worth, will long be remembered in connection with his acquaintance by a large circle of sincere and devoted friends. Many of his classmates and college companions will read with sadness and sorrow the intelli gence of his death, and heave a sigh over the painful and shuddering reminiscence of the bright morning of their youthfuWeas and bloom. He graduated with distinction and honor at Wake Forest in 1853, and to the close of his^ife evin ced a fondness for reading and a taste for science and literature peculiar to well-disciplined and richly cultivated minds. ■ We deeply regret the loss of so estimable and worthy a citizen from our midst, as, in such a -dispensation of Providence, a kind father, an af- ■ fectionate mother, and' several brothers and sis ters are left to mourn over the premature demise of one hallowed and endeared to their memories by a thousand fond and pleasing associations.— Green, then, be the.embowering shades that can opy his repose I and soft the foot prints that are left to remind the passing wanderer that the grave of. buried love can never be forsaken by hearts both fond and true! and flowers of sweet and perennial bloom spring up lightly above his grave and shed perfume upon the zephyr-wind that lingers around so sacred a spot in accents of peace and whispers of love! .

As for the apprehended difficulties between the two countries, resulting from the interpretations, or misinterpretations, of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, it would be happy, we think, for both nations, if they would but arrive at the same conclusion with the Liverpool Journal, that the question— “Will speedily right itself by those natural laws of occupation and increase of numbers, which have raised the Union to its present un precedented pitch of greatness.” And so it will,—or rather, so it would.—if let alone.—W Y.

The announcement smadeat Wal- ■ thorn on Saturday night by a special messenger .from Boston. Several dwellings were illumina ted, and congratulatory speeches made.

When Lieut. Randolph pulled 8 . Gen. Jackson’s nose, some sensitive persons im- ■ ■ agined that the nose of the nation was thereby ■ pulled, though the affair was altogether personal.

Ilion. Another, and far more serious result is, that Kansas, and all of the prospective incoming States and Territories, are proba-- bly lost to us forever ;—Foil, the late agitation of slavery, on the basis of the Kansas-Nebraska legislation, has opened the eyes of the Northern people to the fact, that when it comes to colonizing anew Territory, the North, aided by foreigners aud the carpet-bag democracy generally, will have immeasurably the advantages of the South. History will record, that the responsibility for these grave results of bad statesmanship, or demagogueism, or whatever it may be called, lies at the door of the present double dealing Ad ministration, aided and “harked on” by the wily “Little Giant" of Illinois. I am aware that neither myself nor any other man is equal to the perfect accomplishment of .those duties. I am, therefore, as a man must be in such a presence, a suppliant, for your indul gence and assistance, and I again return my thanks for the honor which you have conferred on me. At the conclusion of the address, there was deafening and long continued applause. Mr. Giddings (the oldest member of the House) administered, by request of the Clerk, the oath of office to the Speaker. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, offered the following re solution, which was unanimously adapted: Resolved, That the thanks of this House are eminently due and are hereby tendered to John W. Forney, Esq., for the distinguished ability, fidelity and impartiality with which he presided over the deliberations of the House of Represen tatives, during the arduous and protracted con test for Speaker. On motiontof Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, the House, at 7 o’clock, adjourned.

In the course of this protrac ted contest for the Speakership, and in view of the action taken by the House, especially that taken by the little band with which he had been acting, he had been often reminded of a conver- satiou between himself and that gentleman on the route hither. The gentleman told me (said Mr. M.) that I was young as a politician, and that when 1 arrived in Washington I would find that the American party had no existence at all ; that at the North it was merged in another and very different sort of feeling, and that the few who might be here from the South, unaided by any Northern help at all, would not be able to make the least stand as a party upon the floor of Con gress. 1 think my friend would take back that declaration now ; and I think I can say that we have not only stood here as a distinct and sepa rate party, blit that we have foughta good fight. Gentlemen, piy friends, we have not yet fin ished our course. The battle in which we have been hitherto engaged has been a party fight.— ’We have been contending for party existence and for party supremacy: we have been contending with our Democratic friends to force from them an acknowledgment upon their part that they did us wrong in the idea which they held out in the resolution adopted in their caucus and in the declaration which they made in that resolution. We have fought a good fight for our party, and have done more than fight: we hare conquered. Is there standing out now upon this floor, as a candidate for election to the Speakership, any nominee of the Democratic party ? Is there any Democratic platform now presented upon this floor which implies indignity or offence to the members of the American party? I have lost ■fight of them altogether. So far then, we have fought a good fight. But I say to my friends, we have yet a duty MARYLAND. Delegates at Large, Ant. Kennedy, Dr. Dennis. District Delegate. Frederick Schley. NORTH CAROLINA.

London, January 19.— It is not unlikely that the proximate session of Parliament will tind the House divided into three parties:— Those who see sufficient grounds for an immediate cessation of hostilities; those who advocate, the' further prosecution of tlie war, not thinking the terms,at present accepted sufficient; and those .who take the intermediate course and hold themselves open to the voice of peace, but who will not lay down their arms until peahe is secured us on terms of abiding obligation. It now remains for the goy- erniiients of France and England to be firm and cautious in negotiations, for Austria to keep her engagements honorably, for Russia msec her true interests, for the British nation warmly to uphold the Executive government, and for' the British Parliament'to support the ministry with firm ness, while these all important negotiations are in process of arrangement.

Banks, Jr., the new Speaker, of the House of Representatives, is thus described by a waiter : “ Mr. Banks’ personal appearance somewhat resembles that of Senator Seward, though a more youthful and handsome looking^an than that distinguished statesman. He is of medium' height, and slimly built, with a pale face, keen eye, an in- tellectuar forehead, frisky h^r of iron gtoy mix?-’' tore, standing erect as an Indian, walking with’ tho' measured and courtly air of a prince, and Laving withal a stilted stillness a- bout him, which some have described as “cleri cal,” and others as “Puritanic/’ but which, be it what it may, unmistakably indicates, to my mind, that with him the intellectual faculties pre dominate, aud that in social life he is cold as an icicle. Judging him by his appearance, he would very naturally be taken as a sprig of the aris tocracy of the so-called Athens ol Auferica, in stead of a maq of the, people, agd a recent work- mag in the machine shop, "lie has the air; says one writer, and he says so. with some truth, “of a New England clergyman pacing the deck of a steamer which he expects every minute to be blown up/”' flis appearance, in a word, ■ marks hint as a man of note. Phough stiff and cold, he is yet not forbiddingin his manners, and his uersonal demeanor resembles much the lofty condescending dignity, yct.ever courteous and urbane manner, of the polished and elegant Win/ throp. He is a native of Massachusetts, and re presents the seventh Congressional District of that State, being born at Waltham, in the coun ty of Middlesex, in January, 1816, and is there fore now forty years of age.
