ten spoken of this article, that it is rather
an old story; but We have one more instance

North Carolina and got sixteen bushels of

EXTRA SESSION OF CoxeREss.-The
Washington correspondent of the North
American says: - f...... t..-.,.
The probability of an extra session is by
no means SO remote as seems to be accept
ed. The reasons are plain, and may be
summed up briefly. There is now clear as
certaned majority in the House for modt
cation OF The tariff, upon some such reason
able basis as is proposed by the various lead
ing interests. The majority are determined
however to grant no lean, OF any kind, with
out providing for its extinction. Fhey re-
quire the two propositions to be combined,
so that the country may see that, in creating
q new debt, care has been taken not to sad
die il on those who are 10 follow, and who
have no part Of the responsibility On the
other hund, the Democratic majority of the
Senate will not consent to any alteration of
the tariff worth having, and in fact will op-
pose any change whatever. They intend
L.
d1tion of the treasury be what it may. and
will not abandon il under :he threat Of an
extrs session, TO be called in consequence
of loan BILL. With these facts TO guide
opinion. the public can. form its own esti- !
mate of The probability which has been sug-
gested. .. s. s..zz.. .s.
THE CUBAN QUESTION IN THB SPANISH
SENATE.--Boih Chambers of the Spanish
Cortes hive passed unanimously series of
resolutions IN which they swear allegiance
to the Queen, and promise her their aid
against the designs thrown out in the mes
sage of the President Of the United States, |
i'll relation TO the island of Cuba.
On the 4th ult., Don Calderon Cellantes, !
the Minister of State3 delivered lengthy !
speech before the Senate, in which he thor.
oughly analyzed Mr.. Buchanan's message, I
and described the generous and noble con-
duct that had always been manifested toward !
the United States by Spain. He denied |
that since his accession to the Ministry, any J
proposition fog the sale of Cuba had been +
made, and, it was almost needless 10 say,
any offer Of this kind would be Indignantly
rejected. notwithstanding all that had oc-
CURED, perfect harmony still existed between
Spain and the United States.
A correspondent, writing from Madrid, ex-
presses the conviction that nothing had SO
much contributed to restore amcable rea-
tons between Spain and Mexico. as the OBJ
jeetionable portions of the Presidents /
message.
