AIItIECHESTER.—No very great amount of business
been .doing during the week, thedemand being limited,i•ut
inere.frean the particular period of the year, when mo..t mer-
cantile:A=B are busy stock-taking, .4,4 e., than from any other
particular eause that can be cited. Pfiees continue very firm,
exhibiting little, if any variation, Ile demand for India,
both as regards goods and yarns, has been limited, and is
likely to ,contiAue so till the arrival of (arther advices. The
Greek houses are comparatively inactive, and for Germany
there is also Attie doing. The home trade is rather quiet,
whilst malanfacturers are looking to obtain their yarn on
rather more favciwwble terms, being led on to expect lower
prices by the slight weakness in the Live • • deatton market.
Stocks of both goods and yarns are light, in • •• , remarkably so.

BRADFORD.— WOOI : The week has been observed almost
as a holiday, and the transactions are small, and without
change in prices. Nails .and brokes are unaltered.—Yarns :
The spirit to buy is on the increase, and prices are Arm—
Pieces : There is no change; all is spiritless, as is usual at the
close of the year.
LEEDS.—Prices are much the came as for some time past;
the stocks lower than usual at this season, and the mills con-
tinue to be pretty well employed. Business has been of the
usual dull character at Christmas in the warehouses, the mer-
chants generally being employed in taking stock, and few
buyers have visited the market.
Norrnmusm.—Lace: The holidays have altogether inter-
fered with the ordinary course of business. We have no new
feature at present manifesting itself, though most parties ap-
pear to have formed great expectations for the coming year._
Hosiery :Owing to the lengthened holiday in consequence
of the intervening day between Sunday and Christmas-day
being a non-business day, very little trade has been done
since last report.

LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR,

The Morning Advertiser says it is estimated that nearly
£25,000,000 will be required to meet the demand on the
Treasury for war and general expenditure to April 5, and it
is alleged Ministers are divided as to the best means of pro-
viding for this deficiency.
The Times' correspondent has forwarded his letters to the
15th of December, but the intelligence conveyed in them is
almost destitute of interest. He states that there is a general
disinclination to a campaign in Asia, and that the fall of
Kars has become known, and caused much regret. Specula-
tion is rite as to the prcbabilities of the next campaign, and
much anxiety is already expressed as to the transport means
which will be placed at the service of the army. The writer
says the rumour is, that the Transport Corps next year will
consist of 19,000 men, and as many horses.
The weather has been variable, tending to severe storms of
wind, and heavy rain, diversified by hard frost. The Russians
continue to maintain a pertinacious fire on the town, which
is, however, productive of no marked effect. The casualties
are comparatively trifling, and as the remarks are chiefly
speculations or criticism, the inference is fair that all goes
well with the army.

THE TERMS OF PEACE.
The Times has received the following from its correspondent
at Vienna :

VIENNA, Sunday.
The day before yesterday Count Buol communicated the
terms of peace to Prince Gortschakoff.

They are those mentioned in the Times on the 12th of
December.

By the cession of so much of the territory of Bessarabia
as is necessary to secure to all nations the free navigation of
the Danube, is meant the cession of that part of Bessarabia
which lies between the. Fortress of Chotyn on the north, the
Salt Lake Sasky on the south, and the Pruth on the west.
Three weeks from the date of delivery is the time allowed
for consideration.
The foregoing is authentic.

The Morning Post says, Count Esterhazy communicated the
Austrian ultimatum to Count Nesselrode on the 27th ultimo.
The Morning Post, in a leader, expresses its fear that the
propositions involve points of pride and dignity which the Czar
may feel it:as yet impossible to concede to the victorious arras
of an enemy, As regards the vacillations, Prussia must and
shall have an end. It is easier to reach Berlin than Moscow,
and we twill rather fight and conquer two open foes than have
to contend with one enemy aided and supplied by a hostile
neutral. It is impossible for Russia to shake our alliance
with Prance, and the Emperor Napoleon lately told the Saxon
minister in Paris that the Emperor Alexander might rest
asfrared 'that, 'under noeircumstances whatever, wouldhe ever
abandon iheEngligh alliance, to which he was firmly wedded,
and from which -no intrigue should ever divorce him.
