GEN. SCIIENCK INTERVIEWED. Gen. Sehenck, our new minister to England, in an interview with a reporter yesterday gave a somewhat guarded statement ot his opinions on imporian

matters

now pending between Great Britain and tlie United States in regard to the Fisheries question. The General said, my im pression is that the Government of Great Britain is not half as difficult to deal with in regard to the Fisheries as the Canadians themselves.

I have reason t« believe that the con duct of the latter is not stimulated by in sinictions from the mother coun'rv, but on the contrary, causes much concern in Gteat Britain herself. Oi course, the

English Government will not entire!, disavow and rebuke unfriendly manifestations of the provinces towards the people of this conn try, but my opinion is thai 'England feels annoyed at the conduct of Canadians, and will probably send out a delegate to the Government of the Do minion, wi1i instructions to put a curb on their arrogance, and to bring them to a sense of /lie duty they owe to the people of the United States. Without regard 10 the mtrits of the case I ooi-t say th their behavior ha* Inon c! ... iish and ofensive in the highest degiic. 1 believe that if England could without sacrifice if her traditional pride, give up her col onies in Ameiica, she would most wil linglydo it. Or if Canada would sever her connection with her mother conn'rv inil declare her? elf an independent State, he British Government would raise no bjeetion to such an arrangement. The uhle is, that the Canadians stick too losely and prefer to be an English province. English interests lie in ihe East,

her possessions in that quarter tne he means by which she can check the mbitious designs of other (lowers, and my opinion, that in the natural conise ot' events, Canada will lapse into our Union.

He thinks that there will be something more than dollars and cen's required in ihe settlement of the Alabama claims, ch as ihe opening of tlie St. Lawrence, md same lights for American fishermen

Canadians. lie could no! exactly tell what forms our claims will be pre nted, and v. hat term- they will em ace, but money alone will no! suffice as compensation due us for damages sus taincd by fitting out of the rebel cruiseis iring our late war. said the General, we have had enough of feasting and toast ing. We uant some decided action in he matter, and we shall certainly try to get all we can. I can say that the hing question will be drawn into the discussion along with the Alabama Claims. We shall try to obtain a settle mcnt of all these questions now and forever.

The General remarked that he had not received his instructions vet, but he had no doubt but they will leave him a very fair margin for discretion.

SENSATIONAL.

NEW YOIUC, Dec. 81.—A sensational paper this morning pub!i• he-s a characteristic communication from Geoige Jones, alias Count Joannes, communicating intelligence that the murderer of Benjamin Nathan has been discovered that the evidence against him. though circumstantial, is clear and convincing that lie is now in the hands of the au thorities, though arrested for a different offense. The narrative occupies five columns of the journal in which it appears, is double leaded and is undoubtedly for a sensational effect.

EPISCOI'AL VESTMENTS.

The gorgeous vestments worn by ministers at St. Albans and St. Sacrament churches will be discontinued to morrow, and the plain white used in other Epis copal cliurchcs substituted. Thisrefotni has not been introduced without con-id erable controversy between the Bi-hoj ot New York and Rev. Mr. .Morrill, Rec tor ot St. Albans. Nor is it yet agreed that the change will be permai.ent. From interviews with Bi.-hop Poller and Rev. Mr. Morrill, the fact is evident (hat the ritualistic element in the Episcopal Church will soon be put a test, and that the venerable Bishop of New Yoi is opposed to an anachronism so palpable in the church Rev. Morrill i- decided in his high church views, and is fully satisfied that the ritual ot St. Albans is lie speaks, in severe terms ol American journalism, and holds up England a- a model for veracity and honor. Bishop Potter i- very moderate in his views. lie said the clergy of bis diocese owe the relation-hip to him of chPdren. but he claims there must be certain limits hevond which a minister cannot go in changes in vestments made at his express wish.

SAN DOMINGO RESOLUTIONS. WASHINGTON. Dee 31.—The President said yesterday th.-.t hedid not think there was any doi.bt that the San D..mingo resolutions of Senator Mot ton would pass the House, and is very confident of success. Frien Is.of the propo-ition say they can count a two thirds majority in the House who will vote for the resolutions as they passed the Sena'e, and will oppose any change or modification of them. It ia reported that Gen. Banks, chairman of the Foreign Afiaits Committee, Gen. Garfield an other Republican leaders of the House, are in favor of amen ing the resolutions, but it is not likely an opporiuni ty will be given. Tlio-e having charge of the maiter will probably endeavor to get the resolutions before the House, which can only be done by a two thirds vote, and this accomplished, a day or two will be given for debate. The President basal, ready selected commissioners, but de clines to make them public. It was repotted yesterday, that in order to save lime, the President would avail hiiu-tl of bis constitu:ional right, and appoint the commissioners in advance of the aclionol the House, and that they would proceed to the Island on Monday next on a Government vessel already prepared lor that purpose.
