The following is the latest news from the
East:
Mdrse'ttes, Dec. l2.-The Guage steam pack
ct has just arrived, with dates from CONSTANT
nople of the Sd.
The English squadron had arrived at Con-
stantlnople. The English cavalry and that of
the Anglo-Ottoman contingent had also arrived,
and were to winter in the neighborhood of the
Turkish capital
The accounts from the Crimea are to the 30th
ultlmo. All military operations were suspended.
The troops are still employed in demolishing
Sebastopol, and constructing shelter for them

The Russians were removing from their lines
of defence, and concentrating their troops at
Bakshi-Serai and at Simpheropol
THE BIBLE BURNER ACQUITTED.
Last week, after two days trial, Vladimi,
Pstcherine was acquitted of the charge of burn
ing volume of the Holy Scriptures. 1t was
proved in evidence that a number of so-called
immoral works was delivered up to the Redemp-
torist fathers stationed at Kingston, near Dub
lin and that of these the accused had made a
bonfire in front of the chapel on the 9th No
vember, in the presence of large crowd.
1t was satisfactorily shown that a Bible was
among the books there burnt, but there was no
evidence that Father Petcherine knew that it
was there, or that be had any intention of bring
| ing the Protestant version into contempt. Al
though there might have been no moral doubt
upon the matter, flor we can scarcely believe
the books were burnt without examination, the
jury very rightly considered the case not proved
against the prisoner, and they gave verdict
accordingly. 1t is stated that the Roman Cath
olics were in majority on the jury, but there
is no reason to suppose that circumstance at all
influenced the decision which they arrived at.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.

Byreferring to our Congressional record, the
reader will observe that there was quite furry
in the House last week, in consequence of a
declaration by Mr.. Millward, of Pennsylvania,
that an attempt had been made to purchase
his vote for Banks! 1t seems that Mr.. Pearce,
one of his colleagues, had said to him, jocu-
larry, that he had no doubt he could be made
Chairman of the Committee on Engraving, if
he would vote for Banks. Thereupon, Mr.
Mllward proceeded to examine whether there
was any such Committee, and not being able
to find it recorded, applied to Humphrey Mar
shall for information, stating the reasons, &c.
The shrewd Kentuckian advised him to pro-
claim the fact, and so he did, but the explana-
ton to which his remarks led turned the whole
thing into ridicule. Mr.. Banks, as usual, when
called upon to say anything, said what he had
to say, briefly, clearly, concusively, and again
justified, as he has repeatedly done, the conf
dence reposed in him by his supporters

The Missouri invaders did not even find
Shannon sufficiently subservient He was
in peril of his life in their camp, and well he
might be, for M. j. Parrot, Esq, who was a
prisoner there, says they were the most reck-
less, blood-thirsty, and lawless wretches. that
could be gathered from the four corners of the
earth. The officers had little control over
them. BY their drunken carelessness thew
killed, in camp, three of their own men, Such
was Shannon's fear and chagrin, that he ex-
pressed his regret that he ever accepted the
Office of Governor
The Lawrence men have acted nobly, in re-
sisting virtual siege for week, by Atchison
and his thousand rutiians. 1t may not be gen.
orally known that he was the leader of the
men who, few years ago, drove the Mormons
out of jackson county with fire and sword.
They intended to play the same game with the
Free State men, but they found them brave
sons of noble sires. All hail to them! They
held their Thermopyle of Freedom against
the barbarian hordes, and they were gloriously
victorious. You will hear, ere this, that Shan
non has made remarkable change in his line

IN regard to the true state of affairs He an
proves of the defensive course of the Lawrence
men, says their expenses of the war shall be

Major General, and DIR. Robinson is made

enjoys more of the hatred of the Misourians
than any man in the Territory. Shannon has
also enrolled the Lawrence men into the Kan
sas militia, with authority to repel all foreign
invasion.

THE MOTION FOR TEMPORARY SPEAKER.

We referred last week, in terms of disappro-
baton, to the motion of Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio,
to make Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina, temporary
Speaker, characterizing it as a movement cal
culated to disorganize the body of voters sup
porting Mr.. Banks, and bring about the ulti-
mate election of an Administration man or
National Know Nothing as permanent Speak
er. Such was the nearly unanimous opinion of
our friends, and so thought the opponents of Mr.
Banks, if we may Judge from their ill.conceal
ed exultation at the movement.
AS our paper was then going to press, we
had not time to notice the reasons on which
Mr.. Campbell grounded his motion. The
House having adopted a resolution to cit perma
nently till the election of Speaker, he assum-
ed that there would be night sessons-but such
sessions heretofore had been disgraced by
scenes Of disorder and turbulence. He would
not predict the recurrence Of scenes of this kind
but it would be wise to guard against them.
The Clerk had we'll discharged the duties of
presiding officer, thus far; but the time was
now approaching when it was important that
the chair should be filled by a member of the
House, experienced, versed in parliamentary
law, and able to preserve order in the most try
ing circumstances. And for precedent, the
case Of the New Jersey election was referred
to- when John Quincy Adams was elected tenn
porary Speaker. He would therefore move the
election Of Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina.
We could not see the force of this reasoning.
The House had shown itself fully capable of
maintaining order. No indication of violence
had been manifested. Mr.. Orr, if elected, would
not have had any more power to enforce order.
than the Clerk, Mr.. Forney, whose bearing had
been such as to conciiate the support of the
whole House. After all, everything depended
upon the members themselves. AS TO the nre.
cedent referred to, it was not a parallel case.
1t involved no question respecting Slavery, or
its influence in the organization of the House
but technical question, concerning an cleo
ton case. The selection of John Quincy Adams
could not be construed or used, as preparinp
the way for his election as permanent Speaker.
MIR. Adams, besides, stood alone, aloof from
parties, an ex-President, iIlustrious above all
his fellow members. But, Mr.. Orr, although
an excellent presiding officer, and fair man,
can pretend to no such distinction. Besides.
he is identified intimately with a sectional
Party which is seeking to place the organi.
cation OF the House under the control of the
Slave Power, and he had been spoken of as a
candidate on whom ultimately all factions of that
sectional Party might rally. A motion under
such circumstances to elect such man as tenn
Porary Speaker, would prove, in all probability,
the frSt step to making him the permanent
Speaker. So felt the whole House, unless we
greatly misunderstood the demonstrations, and
