The Sccno OF tho Departing Senators.
Especial Dispatci, to the Wosld1

ing Senators TO create sensation. Their
speeches lad been carefully drafted and sub
mitscd in u general conference to which all had
asscntcd before they were read In the Senate.
All the long speeches, except taat of Davis,
were read, aud Senator Mallory took occasion
to supply the wnnt Of pathos in his own, by
occasionally wiping off the tear droppiust,
which came not uubiddeu, at particular places
in the speech. This special scene was aided
By few Knockers in the gnllerics, aud by rather
irrcyercnt remarks on tie floor. After all had
got: through, they gathered up i'll the loose
blank paper aud stationery, slowed it away In
their potiolios, and taking their hats, retired to
Que. corner, where they held. for few mo-
mente, general lcvee. Several Republican
Senators babe tl,eln goodbye, und some espc-
cially thanked JEFF: Davis for his retraction Of
the offensive words which he had so often
pttafeA in debate

Spain and Cuba.


john Mitchell, writing to the Charleston
Aereu.y from Paris, says:
The Present state OF tho Federal Treasury
does not seem to hold good chance for the
purchase OF Cuba, Probably the President
was not aware when he put In that stereotypcd
paragraph that the noble old monarchy OF
Spaiu-generally called in the United States
s'decrepld monarchy been making aud
is now making rapid strides towards resumlng
her ancient rank among the nations. The dc:
velopment Of agricultural, manufacturing aud
commercial interests, aud the rapid increase
Of railroads mud exposition Of Invaluable coal
mines in Spaiu-tdese things are taking Eu-
rope BY surprises and filing It with admiration.
Spain is not BY any means forced to sell cut in
order to raise money; and y far more in the
mind to gain new colonies than to part with
the old. IAc Epana, u Madrid newspaper,
commenting on Mr.. Buchanan's message, sug-
costs, with . grave irony, "that instead of bid
ding for Cuba, Mr., Buchanan, II be has any.
