A Washington correspondent has been Interview ing the lion. Caleb dishing upon the St. Domingo business. The following passages from his report will be found of Interest: Correspondent Mr. Cusiilng, I snppoBe you have srlven some attention to the SU Domingo question. What Is your opinion of the proposed annexation? Mr. Cushlng In regard to the successful ratliica tlonl can niRKe no prediction, because I have no data upon which to decide. I am satisfied, how ever, that the Island Is a desirable acquisition ; In deed, I consider It necessary to the completeness of the American nation. It la a remarkable fact, and our history proves it, that the Congress of the I nited States, m aggregate Intelligence, has always been far inferior to the Executive. That branch of the Government on questions rising above the mere detail of local government has In no single Instance displayed itself up to the times, or even comprehended the national necessi ties in their broad interpretation. Take the pur chase of Louisiana, of Florida, the acquisition of Texas and California, and you find the Executive far In advance of Congress. Indeed, tho vast pos sessions embracing our finest cotton-growing and auriferous regions, and necessary to com plete the geographical ascendancy of this nation on this continent, are all due to the advanced position lu Id by the Executive. Now here we have history that cannot bo questioned nor denied ; facts, too, which have been overlooked and may prove a valu able suggestion to the people. Correspondent I have not heard the statement of these facts before. It is a good point. Some Sena tors do a great deal of harping upon the lnadvlsa biMtv or acquiring tropical possessions. Mr. Cushlng So 1 see In the papers. Such argu ments are silly In fact, they are no arguments at all b cause they contain neither reason nor the lorce ol facts. Show me a great nation living to-day without her tropical possessions. My opinion Is that no nation can complete Its greatness without tropi cal possessions. Spain became great when she ac quired a hold upon the tropics; Portugal followed trnd wielded a sway of glory and power for years, until she lost her most valuable footholds In the tropics. What would England do without India? That Is easily answered. She would eat herself up in no time. Take the Netherlands, only you may hunt a long time on the map before you can flud her, B i. Is territ rh lly so small. Hut small as she Is she is a power, aud only on account of her tropical pos sessions the island of Java, the Moluccas and Sumatra. It seems to be a very shallow argument admit tin? it to be an argument at all to say that we should have no tropical possessions. That is pre cisely what we do want now to finish us as a nation In a territorial way. Look over what our Boil now produces there is wheat, corn, beef, etc., cotton, coal, Iron, gold, silver, quicksilver, and cop per. These are the great articles In the world's consumption. We must now have sugar, coffee, and tea; then we complete the cycle of commerce. Then we have everythlrg In ourselves. We can. tlo without tea that is our own growth, for the present, though I believe we will raise that before long; but t'.iere Is a danger now or throwing away Sugar and coffee when we have both in our grasp. Correspondent One of the greatest objections the Senate brings up against the treaty Is that there Is a Jod In it. Mr. Cushlng Well, I do not know exactly what Is meant by a job, though I hear that Is one of the sub jects vry elaborately touched upon. If a job means that somebody will be benefited by the ratifi cation of the treaty, I doubt whether any great measnre has gone through Congress without some one profiting In consequence. That does not affect the treaty. You might as well say that the late war should never have been fought because some body might become enriched. I think such talk is auburu. THE CHINESE. The California Companies nUcourajie Further Immigration. any The San Francisco Bulletin of the 85th Instant The Chinese Six Companies, of this city, is a com blnation which possesses considerable authority nere ana in cnina. biioruy alter ine arrival or the last steamer from that country, the leading men of the association nere, seeing about 1300 or their coun trv men landed, called a meeting at which a circular was prepared setting forth the reasons why China men ana cninawomen snouia cease emigrating to this country. Copies of this circular will be posted in an ine principal towns ana cities or tno empire, for the Information of all classes. It is a long document, but the substance of it is that California and tne adjoining States are not what they formerly were so far as the facilities for making money are concerned : tnat very few cmnamen can obtain more than a bare subsistence, and that only the merchants are able to accumulate riches. The opinion prevails generally in China that the placer mines of this Statu aff ord a good Held for the labors of the immigrant. The circular states that these mines do not pay any longer, as a general thing, and that if Chinese miners chance to make money in them, there is great danger that they will be robbed of their earnings and driven out of their mines by thieves ana robbers. They say their people are not respected, but are put down to the level of cattle and horses ; they are in constant danirer of violence and suffer ill u( ge in every part of the State. They say of the thr ats of riot and bloodshed, that they consider must of them as idle talk, but would not de anything to provoke an attempt to execute them. The condition cf the people is described; tnat thou sands of them are without work, can get none, and are destitute of food and other necessaries or We; that the merchants have extended temporary relief to some, but that all cannot be aided. For these and other reasons they deprecate the policy or sending any more Chinamen here. Of the female immigrants they say that the women who have come here have brought infinite disgrace, not only on themselves, but on the more respectable Chinese here. They also are advised to stay at home. The chief men of the Six Companies tliiuk the Issuance of the circular will tend to retard very much the further influx of their countrymen into America; and it certainly does not afford a very inactive picture of their present condition and prohpvets. a famous politician. Death ot the Renowned Parrot of the French Win lilllce-Forty Years ot Political CoaaU lenev. The i rench papers annonnd the death of Jacko, the (anions parrot of the War Office In Paris. Jacko was nm brought into the office In 1630 by Marshal Boult.and.he remained for forty yeurs at his post una!tecid by revolutions or party conflicts. After a time he came to be looked upon as an Indispensable appanage to the War Department, aud when there wasacaoinet crista people used to ask who was to get, not ti e War Office portfolio, but the War Oillce parrot. Though he served under eighteen different inm:tters, he always remained consistent to the principles which were instilled into Miu when he first filtered office. lint under the Republic and the Second Empire ke remained a staunch Hoy al 1st, and there were few members of his party who spoke their minds with so much frankness. One day his repeated cries of "Vive le Koi '." so annoyed Marshal St. Arnaud when he was War Minister that he ordered the indiscreet bird to be turned out. Jacko had a friend, however, in the porter, who took him luto bis lodge and taught him to add '-de St. Arnaud" to his usual cry. The bird was tien put back into his room, end as the Marshal was passing screamed out, "Mve le roi da bt. Arnaud!" "Ala bonue heure," said the Minister, and Jacko was at once retaken Into favor. Of late years the clerks tried to teach him "Vive lEmpereur 1 ' but he never could bring out the entire sentence without tremendous t-norts. lie got vu very wed aa far as "Vive 1 Em- pe ," but at this point he seemed to ehok Ms feathers stood on end, and his eyes rolled with an anxious expression, as if he felt his conscience re proaching him. At last, after several minutes' In tense struggling, he would jerk out the last syllable " reur'' in a hoarse, sepulchral tone. lie died immediately after the Duchess of Berry, and on the anniversary 01 the death of Napoleon I, three days oeiore me picoisciitim. THE ENGLISH PROBST. One of the Most hhockln Tragedies on Hp- cord Arrest of the Murderer In the Clothes of (Ine of his Victims. We nnd in the Pall Mall Gazette of the 26th Instant further accounts of the horrible tragedy at Denham, England : ARRKST OF TBI MURDERER. on TWiiv fi the sunnosed murderer was arrested In a lodging-house at Slongh. lie proved to be a tramp, and said nls name was John Jones. He was dressed in Marshall's clothes, and had a pawn ticket for one of the watches in his pocket, lie had a carpet-bag with him full of food. The evidence at the inquest given by the constable on duty near the house shows that a man oulte answering the description of the supposed murderer, now In custody, met him Boon alter B o'clock on sunnay niornmtr, asxea nis way to the Oxford road, and told him a story of how he had interfered between a man and wife, and prevented the man throwing his wife into the "cut'' (canal). The man was then dressed shabbily, as a common tramp, with very old boots, ami seemed footsore. The policeman did not like his look, and followed Dim a snort aistance on nis way. The most extraordinary evidence given, however, was that of a witness named Elizabeth Simpson, living about 100 yards from Marshall s house, who went out to look for a key she had lost the night before. It was then a little before seven on the Sunday morning. A man came out of Mr. Marshall's house dressed in Mr. Marshall's Sunday clothes, and she at first thonght it was Mr. Marshall, but it was not. lie asked her wnat srie was looking lor, and offered to assist her in her search, telling her at the same time the story he had told the policeman, that he had that morning prevented a man throwing his wife Into the "cut." lie volunteered the Informa tion that he did not live at Marshall's, and that the family had that day gone for a holiday. It was proved that a tramp, who went by the name of jack, Btayea in a common ronging-nouse at ux- brirtge. On Saturday he said he was going to see a brother. He was out all Saturday night, and re turned on Sunday morning in new clothes. The clothes worn by the tramp were identified by the policeman as those found in the house of the victims. ine ciouies ionim on me man now in custody have been identified as those taken from Marshall's house. The murderer for such we may now call htm wtthont much injustice was taken at Reading. His name is John Jones, and he speaks with a strong Scotch accent. On him was found the duplicate of Miss Marshall's watch which he had pledged at Ux bridgc, and on him also was found a bright steel barrelled pistol which the tramp "Jack" had shown when staying at uxoridge. EXAMINATION Of TUB PRISONER. Si.ouon, 3 P. M. The supposed murderer (of whose arrest you have heard) reached Slough at 9 last night, and was taken from the railway to the police station by Captain Drake and Superintendent Dun ham. A great crowd waited to witness bis arrival. The police, however, Bay they know him well ; that he has been frequently convicted, and that his real name Is John Jenkins, a boiler-maker of Stafford shire. On being spoken to this morning, the prisoner asked gruffly for "more grab," and said if it was not given to mm ne would reiuse to lane rood at aiu All day yesterday the prisoner persisted in telling Mr. Dunham that two men whom he did not know bad done the murder and had given him the clothes of the murdered man to wear, "and d d if be did not think they wouid believe he had done the murder himself because he had the clothes on." This morning the accused man was brought up before Sir Kobert B. Harvey, Captain Farrer, and Mr. Coleman at Mougu. The court was closed to the public, but a lurge and excited crowa congre gated outside, their shouts and loud conversation beimr Plainly heard throuch the open windows, and occasionally reaching a pitch that interrupted the proceedings. The prisoner, who had remained in the police cells all lilefit. was brought in shortly after 11 o'clock and placed in the dock handcuffed. He is apparently a man of 42 or 43 years of ege, and was dressed in clothes which had been supplied by the police. In anDearance he is short, thick-set, with black, bushy beard and moustaches closely cut round. His face was ghastly pale, and he looked like a man who had not slent for several days. He leaned over the bar or the dock and listened, apparently without emo tion, to the circumstantial relation by Superinten dent Dunham of the position in which the several victims of the murder were discovered, with the maiks each bore of the blows or the axe. HORRORS OX A STEAMSHIP Insanity nnd Suicide at Nea-No Possibility of Tie steamer Parana, Captain Wllkeson, arrived at New York yesterday, rrom London on tne lata of iKt month, her lirst vovuee. On the second day out Captain Wllkeson, while maklnir his daily inspection among the steerage passengers, had his attention directed to a young man of very respectable appearance, who was dis tributing tracts among his fellow-passengers. He was attired In a fine suit of broadcloth, and this fact alone attracted the captain s attention. Captain WUkeson wondered what could possibly have caused a man of his appearance to take passage lu the steerage, and the incident occasioned him much un easiness, so mucu bo mat. us ueieimiucu wt speak to thn voniiff man next morninir. On the following day, while Captain Wllkeson waa passing among the steerage passengers, he was ac costed ty the young man, who askedipermlsiou to preach the gospel to the passengers, remarking that be had already addressed them, and that he had been sent to accompany the passengers by the Lord Jesus Christ. The captain gave nis permission. During the day all the passengers, numbering over boo. BHsemblea on tne main aeck, ana stanaiug on the deck, the young man deliveied a sermon on the benefits derived from a Christian life. Ch ii tain WUkeson says that be has heard several or the most eminent English and American preach ers, iiut he never yet listened to a man possessing such rare eloquence anu spiritual entuusiasin, ilia voice he described as rich and loud, and his words. although the sea was running high and the winds biowiuir fresh, could be distinctly heard. The next morning, at about 5 o'clock, while the crew were all at work cleaning decks, the young man rushed on deck in his night-shirt and drawers, and, leaping on the bulwarks, piungea into tue sea, which waa then running very high. The cantaln. hearing the telegraph alarm to Rton and back, burned on deck, aud looking far astern there saw a man floating on the topmost wave. He saw that it was maduess to lower a boat, and before anything could be done the man disap peared. It was ascertained that the last passenger was named William A. Soilee, that he waa aged twenty one years, and that he took passage from London. For several davs following the occurrence the passengers were filled with gloom, and nothing else was talked of. About & week following the drowning the ctDtaln was sent for by an aged Frenchman named Etienue btehelin, who desired that the purser should take care or nis papers, money, ana personal enucu. The captain remarked tnat it was seldom that thieves wete among so respectable a class of pas. sengers, and that his property was all safe. The pafctenger said it waa not them he feared, but he did not believe he would live to reach his darling son whom he so long had hoped to see. Stehelin being in good health, the captain laughed at his fears aud told him he would see his sou in a few days. Tne old man would not be comforted, aud during the whole day he walked up aud down the steerage gangway, talking to himseir. The passengers after a wiiile failed to notice his strange actions. There waa no one sunnosed that he meditated suicide. He always answered respectfully when addressed, and frequently carebfaed the Utile children while playing about lnm. , . m the morninir of June 2, at about 6 o'clock. without attracting the attention of the other pas sengers, the majority of whom were about turning out of their berths, he ascended to the deck, a 'id, mounting the railing, plunged overboard. The sea at the time was r unit inn very high, and the CanUin tsald it would be Siariilcing lifo to man the llfelKJRt. The baggage, papers, and valuables belonging to the lost paaseugei were taken charge of to await the orders of relatives. Stehelin, the Frenchman, left two valuable Bold watches, one or which he Intended as a present to bis sou whom be had not seen for many years.

The railroad Titans are again preparing to wage suicidal war upou each other, and Judging by present indications the contest this season win ne unusually fierce. Vanderbllt has at length laid aside his mask and come out In open hostility to the competing lines hoping thereby to further the ends of the gigantic monopoly he has so long and vainly sought to establish. The doughty Commodore yesterday flnng down the gauntlet by informing President Could that all arrangements hitherto existing be tween the New York Central and Erie lines are to be considered null and void. Disappointment at the nttcr defeat of his English n gents, Raphael. Burt & Co., is assigned as the mo tive w men nas induced mr. v anaemia to come out at last in his true colors as the great opponent of the Erie Interest. Acting in concert with his foreign filibusters with a view to crushing out Erie as a com peting line, Vanderbllt has refused to receive Erlo tickets between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and Is making tremendous exertions to block the routes to I 111 'go and the Northwest. tiouid. ine unoouotame, ana i- isk, me irrepressi ble, have promptly acknowledged the challenge of tne central cominnation, and are acicrmineu to battle bravely against the threatened monopoly. Vanderbllt havinir also repudiated the arrangements hitherto in force with the Pennsylvania Central, will stand aione in tne coming contest. negotiations for a dereusive and offensive alliance are now being carried on between the brie ami Pennsylvania Central, and should a satisfactory treaty be concluded between these powerful corpo rations, Vanderbilt will inevitably be brought to terms before long. FOREIGN NOTES. European Mail News. The Emperor Napoleon's speech, containing 632 words, was transmitted from Paris to Havre by two wires in ten minutes. The mails of the steamship Weser, which vessel left Bremen May SI and Southampton May 84, were delivered yeBtcrday. The advices they contain are Inter by two days than were those at hand by the China on Wednesday. An aggregate meeting or tne Jewish congrega tions of Manchester had oeen held at the Demy Street School-rooms, Cheetham, in Manchester, "to nnlte in a petition to Parliament for the abolition of the University tests." There was a numerous at tendance. A communication rrom Vienna states that since the publication in Austria of the laws on religious liberty, a movement has arisen in the population of that city, which is, to say the least of it, a strange one. In the course of less than two years about 680 persons, or both sexes, have abjured Christianity for the Jewish faith, and what is curious Is that these perversions are on the Increase. The Paris journals or May 83 and 24 discuss scarcely any other subject but the Emperor's speech on receiving the result of the late vote on the ple- biscitum. With the exception of the Lert and the Legitimists, the various parties seem satisfied, each applying a portion of his Majesty's words to itself. All agree in affirming that no dissolution or the Legislature is intended, and that his Majesty spoke with great moderation and dignity. l etters irom rangier state mat a question wnicn has been for a long time under discussion among diplomatists is on the point of being solved. The Emperor of Morocco appears to have made up his mind to accord to the ministers or foreign powers the right of residing near bis person during a portion ot the year. This measure would be of great advan tage for tne expedition oi business, wnicn could, upon Important occasions, be carried on directly with tne t-mperor. The Pans umvers or May 22 nas received tne fol lowing lntel.'igence from Rome: "A conference is spoken of as having taken place be- twnen Ganenla Kanzler snd Dumont. at which those olti- cers decided upon the coarse ot conduct to Deaaopioa buuuiu anj uiniuniauLo lane iu iuu nuinici, u event which does not seem imDrobable. The latter otnoer considered it wise to make no movement, and so to avoid a conllict between the r rench trooDS ana tne rebel bands. which might lead to serious consequences; and the other agreeing with him on the point, has sent part of the Mon teliascone garrison to the extreme frontier of the province of Viterbo, and also a company oJJpu aves and a detachment of dragoons from Kome to G7oa- setto br railway." The ThnM of May 22 says that the new Cunard liner Abyssinia, or auoo tons, went out upon ner ad miralty trial on tne previous a nuay, ana ran tne measured mile at Wemyss Bay at the rate or tlf- teen knots per hour. The Abyssinia is one of the four new ships llttlng out in the Clyde to carry the malls between Kngianu ana America, under Messrs. (Junard, Burns, and Mclver's contract, which, It will be remembered, they obtained from her Majesty's Government for eight years, at jCiO.OOO a year. The vessel is one or the nnest specimens or navai archi tecture. The Abyssinia is unlike any or the Cunard steamers now afloat, as she is a rour-aecker, and with her heavy iron masts and plumb stem, looks more like a llne-or-battle ship than a vessel destined for the great marine service or tne uunara com pany. GENERALITIES. Impaled Alive. Perhaps the first accident or the kind, says the Boss county (Ohio) RegUter, occurred on Tuesday afternoon, east or inis piace, on tne m. anu u. uan read. As we learn it. a young man named John Crown, brakemanf on a freight train bound West at the time indicated, went forward to the engine and took a seat in front of the boiler, with legs dangling over the cow-oatcner. lie nad oeen riding in tnis position some time, the train bowling along at a good rate, when suddenly, in passing over a heavy board that was nailed lengthwise of the track, the point of the cow-catcher caught In the end of the board and rent off a large silver, almost three Inches in diameter at the thickest place, which, darting up the front of the engine, caught Crown under the left thigh, passed entirely through flesh, tendons, etc, pasting on and striking against the head of the boiler thus literally Impaling alive the unfortunate brakeman. Hard Times la Utah, From the present prospects we may look for a continuance of tight times in this country. There never was a period in the history of this Territory w hen business men experienced such difficulty in getting along as they do at present, and tho labor ing man anas it equauynaru. work is scarce; money and other good pay is much more scarce. There appears to be a general slackness or stagna tion in business East, West, North, and South, ;in other Hates aud Territories as well as this. The dull times are not altogether owing to the scarcity of ?:raln and other produce in the country on which to ive, for of these there are plenty yet, but rather to the a-eneral inclination which prevails to take in Ball. Circumstances evidently are shaping in such a manner as to compel ns to ooara ana ciotne our- seives; and instead of importing everything, raise something to export, or at least supply our owa de mand.

The Harrison Court-Martial. The comments of the Secretary of the Navy in the ease of First Assistant Engineer Harrison, tried for striking Paymaster Machettc, on the Wasp, In the South Atlantic fleet, and whose sentence haepreviously been stated, (are as fol lows: "The sentence in this care waa approved by Rear- Admiral Lanman, who convened the court, aud is, though not without reluctance, approved by the secretary. Tne lacis sei loriu in vne specmcation and proved on the trial would have sustained a charge of 'conduct nnbecomiug an oitlcer and a gentleman,' anu warranted a sentence or dismissal from the service. For these reasons the Secretary of the Navy has felt reluctant to give his approval to tne sentence ior u oueuso wnicn is, in nis judg ment, deserving of severe punlslnneut. In repri manding the accused the Secretary is constrained to notice not oniy ine rnmauiy assault commuted upon a brother o'.Jcer, butralso the indecorous aud disre spectful conduct of the accused towards the court while on trial. Having pleaded guilty to the charjre and specification, the accused was asked by the Court if he desired time to prepare a defense. He answered, 'yes,' and being Inquired of how long a tune ho desired, replied, 'fifteen minutes.' Tue Court gave mm an nour. At tne end or that time he presented to the Court a written defense so dis respectful that the Court could not receive It. He then withdrew it, aud declined to oirer any re spectful defense. Such conduct is Itself deserving of censure. It betrays a wanton disregard notoulv of the laws and regulations of the service, but of olllclal and personal decorum, and Is calculated to caBt reproach upon the service to which the oilender belongs. This order of reprimand will be forwarded to the commander of the tiouth Atlautio Squadron, and be by him transmitted to the commanders of all vessels within nis command. "Ueo. M.
