THE EXPRESS, MeiNDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 11340.

Ia admittedly satisfactory state, though relatively a
geed deal bee Nave. At Leeds thelesid weather
hes eoesekeed a brisk demand for goods suitable foe
the seems. At Bradford the export amend for
woollen yarns is described us dull, but the home
consumption is steady, and prices ere looking up.
Bows of the waiving establishments, however, do
set And as immediate inquiry so /16W to absorb
the whole of their production, which roust therefore
be somewhat curtailed, unless they add to their stock.
In the Huddersfield district an improvement is
modeled in the retail trade. At Rochdale the feature
is the eager purchases of flannels ; and the machine-
power in full employment. At Nottingham the
lace trade is dull, and the Silk lace trade flat, with
less occupation for the operatives; but in that im-
portant branch—hosiery--all bands throughout the
&Wet ere actively employed, the demand both for
home and abroad being so large that the execution
d many orders is unavoidably postponed. At
Leicester, Hinckley, and Lougoborough, orders are
numerous, business_ brisk, and prospects cheerful.
In the Birmingham district trade in the boa
branches is so active that a lull witnessed in the
foreign demand meets with little attention. There
are few complaints from the iron trade, notwith-
standing the still moderate character of the
demand for exportation. From Belfast and Dundee
the accounts allude to a steady business, at firm
prices.

The attention of the financial world is beginning
to be directed more prominently to the threatened
rapid creation of new securities. It is only three
months since, in addition to the Russian Ice;
3.000,000 i. of new Indian Five per Cent. stock was
offered. This supply seems but to have temporarily
stayed the appetite of the monied public. The East
Indian Railway Company have just got a million
and a half of Debentures taken up; and the other
Indian Guaranteed Railway Companies are still
offering further amounts of a similar article. The
conditions of these securities are free from ambiguity,
but there are others in respect of which full ventila-
tion is highly desirable. The public must discrimi-
nate carefully, or they will probably be invited to
take part in plenty of " mineral propertiee," pur-
chased at very high prices from fortunate vendor',
and to embark in plenty of other enterprises of
doubtful promise. Without intending any invidious
reflections, we may point, as a sample of the magnitude
of the undertakings in course of projection, to a great
Sardinian Railway, to cost 6,000,0001. sterling, the
"coacession " of which, the continental journals in-
hem le, Iwo been obtained by English contrasban
as well as to the proposed " National Bank of
Turkey," which has so long been in the position of
MASONIT'S coffin. The Ottoman Bank, which has
sedoyed, is some respects, peculiar advantages, and
has bees enabled to distribute large dividends
eassmist its shareholder', does not stand in a pcei-
dms. so far se market value is concerned, likely to
attreet any eager competition into the province I
w►ieh, after a hard struggle, it has won for itself.
Banking ia Turkey is a pursuit which presents high
rates of profit and corresponding risks. The field
be lesriisisata banking in that quarter is, in-
deed, far more restricted than might be
supposed. For operations not of a strictly -
sial there is undoubtedly great scope.
Sultan, sultanas, and grandees, are alike in want of
seek and willing not merely to pay a high price for
leans, but to deposit security, whether jewels or
ether property, of undoubted value. But to embark
capital in these channels at a return of 20 or 30 per
ant. per annum, or more, in interest and commis-
sion, and to renew the bens, or a portion of them,
when due, at perhaps a still higher rate, is a clam
of business better adapted to the genies of the
Greek or Armenian usurer than to that of the British
aspitelist. The former may, it is true, realise
imenswee fortunes by it, but this does not make it say
the mere worthy of the name of legit im ate banking;
sad the vigilance with which the directors of the
exciting Ottoman Bank have found it necessary to
scrutinise the channels presented for theemploymeat
of their funds, is calculated to make the English
public weigh the more carefully any proposals fee
fresh ventures in the same direction.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

CENTRAL. ITALY.-THE REGENCY.

The Cbeetitutionotel of to-day, in an article
sigted by its chief editor, M. Granclguillot, says
that the declarations of the Cabinet of Turin, on the
subject of the Regency of M. Buoncompagni, are of
• n►ture to make those arrangements possible which
have generally been considered u very difficult
of execution. It is understood that if U. Buon-
compegni exercises the regency, it is only for the
maintenance of order in Central Italy. Italian
interests are in harmony with European interests, in
order to reserve for the congress the definitive regu-
lation of the situation of the Italian peninsula.

The Gazette de Milan says that Rimini and
Bologna are being fortified, thus protecting the
movements of the troops of the Romagna. Ths
army m increasing in numbers, especially by the
aceession of Venetians.

GENOA, Nov. 18.
A deputation from Tuscany, consisting of Signor
Egalcotti, Signor Coppi, and Signor Febrizzi, sent by
this Bacot Ritmoli, President of the National Assem-
bly, to petite against the Regency of M. Bnoncom-
pagni, his arrived in Turin.

The deputation has not been received by the ring,
but Prince de Carignan will receive them in private
audience.

TURIN, SCIIDAT.
M. Booncompagni has left today for Parma and
Modena, where he will stay several days. The
question of the acceptation of the regency of Central
Italy by Tuscany is in the way of settlement.
A cabinet courier, bearer of the treaty of poems, is
expected to arrive here today from Zurich. The
exchange of the ratifications will in all probability
take place to-morrow.

PROCLAMATION BY GENERAL GARIBALDI.

General Garibaldi has arrived at Nice from Turin,
and has published in the Gazette de Nies a procla-
mation to the Italians in which he says that he
withdraws from the service because of the obstacles
put in &away of the liberty of action of Central Italy,
and because a miserable and crafty policy (sew
politigueuz4erabk et astueieetee) troubles the program
of events. He entreat* the Italians to range them-
selves round the loyal King Victor Emmanuel, and
declares that he will take up arms again on
the day the King shall call all his faithful soldiers
1 to the combat.

The Opinione of Turin mentions a report that the
King hvi appointed General Garibaldi kis aide-
dveamp.

THE CONGRESS.

PARIS, SATURDAY.

No formal invitation to take part in the Congress,
which is to be held on the 15th December next, haa
yet been addressed by France to England, bat Count
Persigny has been instructed to arrange the preli-
minary conditions with Lord John RtumelL

The formal and official invitation will be sent to
London from the cabinets of Vienna and Paris simnl-
duteously. The notes containing the invitation will
not be identical, u it has been stated. Austria will
propose that the Congress assemble in Paris, whilst
Fran* will abstain from indicating any place.
It is certain that Austria, through the medium of
Prince de Metternich, has protested here against the
nomination of a Regent by Piedmont, as such a
regency would be contrary to the conditions of the
treaties of peace signed at Zurich.

SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

MADRID, Nov. 13.

The departure of the Spanish troops to Morocco
has been delayed, as Marshal O'Donovan will not
°raiment to their leaving before the collection of the
war material has been completed, which will be very
shortly.

GERMAN FEDERAL REFORM.

MUNICH, Nov. 20.

It is stated that on the invitation of Bavaria a
conference of the Ministers of the States of emend
rank, andalso of the minor States of Gainsay, is
about to take place on the 23rd instant at Ware-
burg, in order to come to some agreement about the
pending questions of German policy.
