Attempt lo Bribe.
Quite "a breeze" was raised in the
House of Representatives yesterday in
consequence of a statement made to the
House by Mr. Piollet, that an attempt
had been made by a Mr. McCook, to
bribe him. Mr. P's statement was to the
efTect that Mr. McCook had offered him
five hundred dollars u ne, as a mem
ber of the committee on Banks, would a
grec to report in favor of the Lehigh
County Bank, now pending belore that
committee, and that he yesterday morn
ing actually gave him four hundred dol
lars of the money, the other hundred to
be given him when the object was ac
complished. The money was given to
Mr. P. at his room, and on the meeting
of the House he made his statement, laid
the money on the Speaker's table, arid
left the matter at the disposition of the
House.
A committee of investigation was at
once oppointed, and Mr. McCook was
placed in the custody of the Sergeant at
Arms. The committee are Messrs. KnoA, Gal
loway, Trego, Gwinn, and Nicholson.
They had a meeting last evening, and
Mr. Piollet and other witnesses were ex
amined. From the testimony thus far
elicited, it appears thai Mr. Piollet, when
first approached on the subject, stated the
matter to Mr. Burrell, and Mr. Laportc,
and they r.dvised him to lead McCook on
to a full developemcnt of his object and
intention, with a view to making a full
exposure. The investigation will be con
tinued to day, and will be published in full,
when the public will be able to form a cor
rect opinion in relation to the whole mat
ter. Mr. McCook is a citizen of Ohio, but
is interested in some manner in this Le
high Bank bill. Pa. Intel.
In the House of Representatives, on
the 21st Feb. Mr. Knox, from the ma
jority of the Select Committee lo whom
the subject was referred, made a lengthy
report of the case of an alleged attempt
to bribe Victor E. Piellot, Esq. by Dan
iel McCook, accompanied by the following
re i oluiions:
Resolved, That the Attorney General
or his Deputy, in the county of Dauphin,
be requested to take the necessary steps
to arrest and bring to trial in said county,
the person of Daniel McCook, upon the
charge of having attempted by the pay
ment of money corruptly to procure the
vote of Victor E. Piellct, Esq. a mem
ber of the Pennsylvania Legislature, in
favor of the Lehigh County Eank, and
that upon the issuing of the warrant of
arrest, the Sergeant at Arms be directed to
deliver to the proper officer the person of
said Daniel McCook.
Resolved, That the committee be dis
charged from the further cousideration of
the subject.
Mr. Trego, from the minority of said
committee made a report, concurring main
ly in the views of the majority, but dif
fering from that majority as to the expe
diency of passing tbe first resolution at
tached to their report.
Mr. Burrell moved that 2000 copies in
English and 500 in German of said re
ports be printed for the use of the House.
Agreed to.
The Pennsylvania Telegraph publish
es the whole of the evidence, the sum
and substance of which is contained in
the above article from the Intelligencer,
and remarks upon it as follows:
The Uribcry Investigation.
We publish to-day the balance of the
testimony taken in this extraordinary case
-extraordinary in every
sense ol the
: ?t final result. We feel as indif-
ferent as any one can in the whole, mat
ter. It is amongst the Locofocos entire
ly those who have been held up as the
Simon Pures ot the party. And, how
ever criminal they are, we feel that jus
tice only, should be meted out to those
who are innocent, and who only are pla
ced in a situation to be injured by the
transaction.-
From all evidence elicited it is clear
that the Lehigh County Bank, has had no
agency in the matter whatever. Nor has
its principal stockholder, Moses Y.Beach.
The course of Mr. .McCook, appears to
have been a voluntary one. and his acts
governed by his own knowledge of Lo
cofoco Legislators. He was at Washing
ton City, where he found much anxiety
expressed on the part of his political
friends for sustaining the Bank, and feel
ing a deep interest himself, he came to
Harrisburer. of his own accord, to oper-
ate in favor of it, by 'despoiling the prej
udice that nas pursued it from tne com
mencement of its operations. In this
way he became inveigled by Piollet, La
porte and Burrell, and the whole demer
its of the transaction, on that side of the
question must tall upon him the Bank
stands unscathed and unaccused.
It would be extraordinary indeed, if a
Bank were to send a man here to buy its
elf through the Legislature, without put
ting the means info his hands, unless it
thought the members of the Legislature
could be purchased for about the price of
calves in the market. If McCook had o
riginally had any such intention, it is clear
that he would have been prepared for it,
and not obliged to run around amongst his
friends, to raise the paltry sum of $400,
and that too by borrowing their pocket
pieces! - This fact is sufficient to clear
the Bank, or Mr. M. Y. Beach, who
was in New York at the time, of anv
knowledge or participation in the affair.
Since the bribery case turned up we
have examined the Report of the Auditor
General relative to the Banks of the Com
monwealth, and find tfiat it stands as
sound and on as firm a basis as any bank
in the Commonwealth. And if that is
the criterion of a good institution, there
is not one in the Commonwealth more
deserving of public confidence. Still, if
Locofocoism has marked it for a victim,
it is likely to be oflercd up to appease the
wrath of the individual liability patriots,
whose peculiar desire is to see the banks
and the energies of the people crushed.

Dreadful Shipwrecks--Disastrous
Results of the Storm.
The severe North-East storm of Sat
urday night and Sunday was attended
with most disastrous consequences to life
and property. There is at present reason
for supposing that upward of sixty lives
have been lost. Eight vessels are ashore
on Squam Beach, and the crews and pas
sengers must have perished within sight
of the land. , The following are the par
ticulars as far as they arc correctly ascer
tained: The ship John Minturn, Capt. Stark,
New York and New Orleans packet,
went ashore on Sunday morning about
8 o'clock. Five of the sailors and one
passenger reached the shore, much ex
hausted. Capt. and wife, their children
and servant, and thirty -seven persons,
passengers or sailorsperished in attempt
ing to save themselves. Ship Orleans,
Capt. , New York and New Orleans
packet, was driven ashore on Saturday
night, soon after the storm commenced.
Total loss: Saven and missing not as
certained. Schooner Alabama, from
Philadelphia for New York, went ashore
on Saturday night during the height of
the storm, and every soul on board per
ished. Seven in all. Vessel a total
los3. The following was received yester
day by the Underwriters:
So. cam Beach, N. J., Feb 15.
The bark New Jersey, Capt. Lewis,
came on the beach this morning, in the
severest gale we have had in ten years.
Cargo will be saved. Vessel lost cargo
co lion. .
The Swedish bark Lotty, of Geffe,

Squam. Crew all perished.
Long Beach, Feb. 15
The schr. Register from Newbern,
900 bbls. Turpentine, ashore opposite
the Highlands, cargo strewed along the

There are eight vessels near Squam.
The cargo of the John Minturn, con
sisting of cotton, sugar, molasses and lead
in pigs All lost. Cargo of the Orleans.
The Alabama was loaded with liquors,
spices, loaf sugar, nails, hides, &c. . All
lost.
The persons saved were hospitably
treated by the people of Point Pleasant,
at Squam Inlet, and every attention ,bcs
stowed upon them that their deplorable
condition required.
The surf was still running very high
on Sunday night, and no communication
had been held with the vessels that still
held together. One of the bodies, that of
a young man, from the schooner Alabama
was found on beach on Sunday morning,
having come ashore in the night.
Between 12 and 1 o'clock, Sunday
morning, the schr. Oran, slo;p Ontario
and sloop George Washington broke a
drift from the foot of Jay. street, when
two citizens belonging to one of the ves
sels, it is supposed, were drowned.
Captain James W. Johnson and his eon
W.G., the latter in attempting to save
his father. No damage to the vessel.
: The ship Avalanche, from Matanzas,
reported ashore on the mud flats between
BediowY and Ells's Islands, has two
lighters alongside discharging her cargo.
The steamer Hercules will go to her as
sistance at high water. She will proba
bly be got off without damage.
The brig Robert Bruce, from Balize,
reported ashore, has been got oil without
damage, and is up alongside the wharf.
The schr.; Senator,' from Norfolk, ly
ing at anchor off the Battery, was drove
from her moorings on Sunday morning,
by the North-Fast snow-storm, and drift
ed off the Quarantine ground, Staten Isl
and. She was taken in tow yesterday
morning by the steamer Hercules and
brought up lo the city.
The fishing smack Princess, Acker,
lying at anchor in the lower bay on Sun
day morning, from the violence of the
storm lost both anchors and was obliged
to cut away the mast to keep the vessel
from going ashore. She was towed up
to the city by her own boat. Capt. Ack
er reports he saw two square rigged ves
sels ashore on Staten Island near the Red
Bank.
The East and North Rivers are very
much obstructed by lare fields of float

Mr. Polk's Blunders.
A Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Gazette, thus refers to the
course the Administration has been pur
suing in regard to the Oregon Question:
The government has run itself into a
morass, upon this Oregon question, where
it cannot advance, retreat nor stand still
but with disgrace. It has managed the
whole affair in an unstatesmanlike, inju
dicious manner. Mr." Polk, in the first
place, echoing the Baltimore Convention,
declared our title to the whole "clear and
unqestionable," while that very question
was the subject kof negotiation. What
next? Why, notwithstanding our "clear
unqestionable" title to the whole terri
tory, he offers to give up nearly one-half!
Statesmanlike, truly ! The offer bein
rejected (foolishly, as I think) on the
ground that it was not as good an one as
had been twice made before, Mr. Polk
withdraws it in a pet, and reiterates "our
title to the whole is clear and unques
tionable." The British government next
offer to submit an equitable division of
the territory to arbitration; this is very
properly rejected, on the ground that its
acceptance would be an admission that
the British title to the whole was as good
as ours;but nothing is said about rejecting
arbitration altogether, and no proposition
i ' mi T-k t
; is maoe on our part, i ne mitisn min
ister then offers to submit the question
! of title to arbitration, not to a crowned
head, but to citizens of both countries,
or lo aboard of distinguished jurists or
civilians. This surely was a fair, frank",
and unexcepdonadle offer; but it was re
jected, and the British minister was then
virtually told that he need not make any
more offers ot arbitration, because none
would be accepted however unexception
able they might be. And here the nego
tiation rests for the present. Our govern
ment knows that the British will never
j give up that portion of the territory north
of the 49, yet 'hey claim it, and at the
same time declare most positively that
there will be no war, and show the sin
cerity of their belief that there will be
none, by utterly neglecting to make the
least preparation for war, or to put the
country in a state of defence !
Death of Dr. John I ISraddee.
Du. John F. Braddee, of Uniontown,
Fayette County, says this morning's Des
patch, died on Friday night last, in the
Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City,
of Pulmonary consumption. Dr. Brad
dee was. doubtless the most extensive
mail-robber in the Union, having com
mitted depredations to an amount exceed
ing $100,000, in the fall of 1810, of
which he was convicted in May, 1841,
and sentenced by John Baldwi:, of the
U. S. Court, to ten years imprison
ment in the Western Penitentiary, nearly
five years of which he had served, at the
time of his cfeath.
At the head of a well-organized band
of counterfeiters and robbers, he was, for
a time, the very terror of the neighbor
hood in which he resided but, so cun
ning withal, that time and talents were re
quired to fasten upon him the evidence of
his guilt. To Dr. Kennedy, then mail
agent, the community is indebted for his
detection, which, notwithstanding his
wealth, was speedily followed by a con
viction, which dispersed his gang, and rid
the country of so great a nuisance.
During his illness, Braddee make a
very full confession of his misdeeds, ac
knowledging the justice of his fate, and
giving particulars not before known. If
we can possibly obtain this, it will appear
in our columns.
Mr. Braddee, at his death; was about
forty years of age, and previous to nis con
viction, had been accustomed to an active
life, which doubtless rendered his confine
ment more severe.
His wife, who clung to him in adver
sity, with all the affection of woman's na
ture, is now residing at Uniontown Pennsylvania.-
Pitts. American.
Naval. The U. S. ships Falmouth,
Commander Jarvis, bearing the pennant
of Commodore Drvid Conner, John Ad
ams, Commander McClcny, and St. Ma
ry's, Commander Sauxdrs, sailed from
Pensacola on Monday, the 9th uit., for
Vera Cruz.
The steam frigate Mississippi, Capt.
Fitzhugh, and the brig Somers, Com
mander Ingham, were left at Pensacola.
The former, it is said, : i3 all ready fot
sea, and waiting for despatches for Mr.
Slidkll, which wore daily expected from
Washington. . .
Electrical Phenomenon.
An account of human electricity was
given in a number of Silliman's Journal
some time ago, which might, if carried
out, lead to some important conclusions
in respect to human phenomena hereto
fore unexplained. The subject became
so electric that sparks were drawn from
and even spontaneously issued from the
end3 of her fingers. During this time an
intense Aurora showed itself. These
phenomena continued for several months,
the sparks being readily given out when
ever the lady approached any conductor
of electricity. She could touch nothing
metallic, without emitting an electrical
spark, which was annoying circumstance
to her. -These appearances were propor
tionally heightened when the air was
warm, and the lady was m good spirits.
Durinsrcold weather, and when she was
in a melanoholy mood these phenomena
were suspended. When sitting at a stove
with her feet upon the metal edge, the
sparks were drawn out at intervals of
few seconds from 3 to 0 sparks per
minute. The lady was about 30 years of
age, of sedentary habits, and rather sick
ly. She had suffered from rheumatic and
neuralgic affections about two years prior
to this time.
JJvirzg in London.
Du Solle, in one of his late inimitable
letters from London, gives us the following
information as to the price of provisions
in that great metropolis:
"Luxuries of ail kinds are exceedingly
expensive; and even the ordinary neces
saries of life are rendered very high by
the policy of universal taxation. Just
now the . price of bread is twenty cent3
per loaf; of beef eighteen cents and mut
ton sixteen cents per pound; of potatoes
eighty cents per bushel. Delicacies of
the humbler kind, and such as are eaten
by the multitude at home, present a still
sorrier aspect. Fowls, (and, by the way,
the poulterers' shops are seen here almost
as frequently as butcher's ditto.) beiwg at
present $2,50 a pair, geese 83,00, and
turkeys $5,00 each, if of excellent quali
ty. On the whole, then, this is a capital
place of abode for the millionaire, but it
affords an extremely small chance for an
enjoyment of the good things of this life,
to those whose daily toil is all that can be
depended upon for that purpose."
A Melancholy Picture.
The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times
says, that the District of Moyamensing,
in that county, has a population of 14,000.
It has ten licensed taverns, and 242 ffrosr
genes, 1775 human being that can neith
er read nor write, over 45 year of age,
and during the past two years there have
been sold, in small quantities, over 10.00P
barrels of liquor. Over 1,000 sober men
made drunkards, over 2G0 families ruined,
over 900 children left destitute, 100 cor
oner's inquests, and over 1,000 persons
sent by the committing magistrates to
prison!
The Emigrating Spirit of Ameri
cans. The Hon. John Went worth, of
Illinois, himself an emigrant to that State
from New Hampshire, in a late speech
thus happily hits off the emigrating spirit
of Americans: "He had a friend in Ohio,
as long ago as it was on the frontier. He
had been moving awav from the inroads
of society, until he had reached the banks
of the Mississippi, and was about to move
again. He asked him his reason. He
said it was the dying advice of his father,
"to keep twenty miles beyond law and
calomel, and a doctor and a lawyer were
within fifteen miles, and he thought ittime
to go." '
The barque Bayfield, which left Liv
erpool on the 22d of October last with a
cargo - of gunpowder, spirits, &c. bound
for the west coast of Africa, was struck
by lightning on the 25ih of November,
and set on fire directly over the magazine.
After ineffectual attempts to extinguish
the fire, the crew look to the boats. Be
ing about three hundred miles distant from
Sierra Leone, which was the nearest port,
they made for it, and after nine days of
want and suffering, without a particle of
provisions or fresh water, they succeeded
in reaching that place with " the loss of
three of their number who died from
starvation.-Balt. Amer.
We learn from New Orleans, under
dste of February 13, that Gen. Taylor,
in command of the United States troops
at Corpus Christi, has received orders to
break up that encampment and move to
the Boca del Rio, (mouth of the Rio
Grande,) and there take up a position. It
was thought that the army would com
mence the march in the course of two or
three weeks, or as soon as the means ot
transportation are in readiness.
Mr. Cook, a member of the Legislature
of Massachusetts, died a few days, since
at his boarding house- in Boston. Mr.
C. was 82 years of age the oldest man
in the Lsgislatnre. He had been elected
by the joint votes of both parties in the
town of Richmond. He had never be
fore seen Boston, and it is stated that his
death was caused by the excitement con
sequent on the novelty of all around him.
Oregon. The news from this country
by the Bull, from Columbia river, and 25
days from Monterey, is not of much mo
ment. Mr. Abernathy is governor of
the territory. A late census gives nearly
3000 for the total population, and these
live very much scattered. The year's
immigration had not arrived.
The Mormons it is said, will leave
Nauvoo, next spring as was exnected.
but some sort of compromise has been1
made with a political party, bv which
they are to be permitted to remain in the
