Correspondence of the Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Jan. P, 1859.
 The States, the Douglas organ, says q it is per- ectly well understood among all parties in this city that the thirty million bill is sham demonstra tion" Every body admits the utter absurdity of an attempt to purchase Cuba in the present posture of affairs. A distinguished Southern Senator em- phaticaly expressed the universal sentiment when he declared that Mir. Buchanan might as we'll essay to carry himself from the White House to the Capi- tol by the seat of his pantaloons, undertake to acquire Cuba for a pecuniary consideration. What then is the object of the movement? Every body in Washington understands that the Thirty Millions bill originated in the desire of demagogues to pro- ptiate public sentiment by an apparent zeal in a popular enterprise Any ovei ture for the purchase ot Cuba at the present moment will only result in postponing its acquisition to an indefinite period That is the opinion of every man all ccnyersa1t with Spanish politics. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-The decision of the Sem ate Democratic caucus against the Tariff seems to have put an end to all expectations of anv cbang. during this Congress. l learn that the Southern Democrats ill the House are nearly unanimons in thelr opposition to any modification. They consid
 CT Pennsylvania as irretievably lost to the nartv any how, and deem it useless to try to regain her The President, however, expresses much indiona. tion at the action of the caucus Secretary Colb Deihg asked last night hat was the difference be-
 tween him and Mr. Buchanan replied that "Tbe fresldentls Is opposing the Administration" MT. Big Ter declared Ill the caucus that Il vote not to mod
 fly the Tariff surrendered Pennsylvania to the Re. puohcans. Mr. Douglas participated in the caucus. The Washington correspondent Of the Evening Post says:
 The Republican Senators and Representatives of this Congress have opened d subscription paper. which was speedily filled up for the purpose of rais
 ing between S5o0 and $500 to purchase nagnih- cent service of plate to be presented to the vene
 rable Joshua R Giedings, testimonial of their appreciation of his public labors in the councils of the nation. These abols have extended through twenty years. Several Democrats are among the subscribers and others from the same party desired to contribute, but did not wish to have their names appear. Such subscriptions were declined, as the names Of all donors are to be inscriled upon the plate, with suitable inscription in addition

What an astonishing administration that is at Washington Buchanan wishes to be authoriztd to build Pacific Railroad at expense of Sl25. coo 600. He wishes to be authorized to throw the army and navy at any time, against the Spanish Ameri- can States-perhaps slo0. GOO. coo more. He wishes to have s50.G0o000 put at his disposal without dition restriction that it is in some mysteri ous way to be applied to the purchase of an island whose owners feel grievously insulted at the very suggestion. To grant this virtually binds us to com plete the purchase, while we are totally ignorant ot what the price may be Call it s2O0, COG, ,000-no- body thinks it could be less And all this eco nomical President desires at the time when re- venue is $50 GOO 900 and our expenses ss0 coo 000 and when there is actual deficiency debt some where between thirty and fifty millions. Give the cabinet their will and they would have the treasury and the ,arn,y-the purse and the sword d-wholly within their control, able at any moment to involve us in an overwhelming debt, and wars with half the globe.-Press. @

EB Mir. Hudson's Lecture on Monday evening up- on King Henry the Fourth,' was the best exposi- ton of that masterpiece of Shakspeares genius that we have ever heard. To quote from the North American Review Shakespeare not more truly born poet, than Mir. Hudson born to be his in terpreter." His compact sentence the best i,ua- ginable vehicle in which to convey in the least space tle ponderous thoughts of the greatest poet an teacher of the world His criticism is thorough rendering of the author. His deinee tions of the characters who figure in these dramas are life like as so many portraits and yet exhibit all the ideal coloring of fine historical paintings. The contrast between the Prince of Wales and Hotspur was mimi tahy set fort we'll the character of Lady Per cy and that grand old myth, Glendower. His read
 ings of Shakespeare, too, equal to his criticisms
 simple nervous and flexible as the poets numbers. We hope we shall have more of them.
