SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. The
Queen had sent 10,000 reals to the sufferers from
cholera in the province of Ciudad Real (the real is
worth five sous). The Gazette denies that the works
for the canalisation of the Ebro have been suspended,
and states that the Government has taken the neces-
sary measures for continuing them. The Queen
had approved of the survey made by a Commis-
sion of Portuguese and Spanish engineers for the
passage of the Madrid and Lisbon Railway across
the frontiers. A letter says :—" The troops which
were recently sent from this city to Barcelona have
received orders to cease their march, and to remain
where they now are. This proves that the Govern-
ment has no apprehension with respect to Cata-
lonia."

STATE OF TRADE.

(F om the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Sept. 11.—The excitement produced by
the gratifying intelligence from the Crimea, has mani-
fested itself not only in the ringing of the cathedral and
other bells, and in the exhibition of flags along our
principal streets, but also in a cheerful and animated
tone of feeling on 'Change. This feeling has, how-
ever, been expended mainly upon political affairs,
and but little upon commercial matters ; so that
those spinners and manufacturers who come to market
expecting a rise of prices to ensue upon the fall
of Sebastopol, have found reason to doubt whether
there is any necessary connection between the two
events. Each class of producers has attempted to
obtain an advance—spinners :Id to I. per lb., and manu-
facturers 11d. per piece ; but the buyers have shown no
disposition to fall in with the demand thus made upon
them ; and yet they are not entirely uninfluenced even
in their character of traders by the news which moves
society to its foundations. It will be recollected that
the market at large became sensibly tamer in the latter
part of last week, affording the buyer a slight advantage
in price. What was then lost may be said to have been
recovered to-day, so far, at least, as yarns are concerned;
both the home consumers and the exporters being now
willing to operate, to a limited extent, at the quota-
tiona of this day week, which, at that time, they were
showing a backwardness to pay. Altogether, this may
make a practical difference of Id. per pound. Some
sanguine persons say it is more than this ; and, taking
exceptional instances, it may be so, but not if we make
that wide comparison, which alone can give us anything
like a just idea of the state of the market. The
greatest tendency to rise is found in the medium counts
of pmcops and cop twist (about 32's). On the whole,
spinners have effected but a moderate amount of
sales. The India houses have made less attempt at
business than was expected. The buyers for the
Levant are quiet, and the Germans cautious. In the
department of goods, the state of things is much the
same as in that of yarns ; what difference there is being
rather in favour of the latter. Long cloths, T cloths,
printers, and narrow shirtings, of various qualities, are
still the articles most easily sold.
ROCHDALE, Sept. 10.—We have had rather a quiet
market in flannels today, and without any change in
prices. Pieces are taken off the market about as fast
as they are made, and there is not yet any accumulation
of stocks. Wool is steady in price as well as demand.
HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 11.—The important news from
Sebastopol received this morning has unquestionably
had a favourable influence upon our market. While the
attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual,
there has been more activity visible throughout the
morning, both in the Cloth-hall and manufacturers'
shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with
readier sale. Several extensive purchases of black,
steel, and other mixture doeskins have been
made in the hall, and this description of Hud-
dersfield goods has hung on hand now for some
time, as we have from week to week reported. Fancy
trouserings in new styles, such as have been•previously
described, have also been in demand, although the de
mand for bordered goods do not appear to be quite so
brisk as hitherto, many of the tailors cutting the borders
to waste. We have as yet no improvement to report in
the state of the country trade. In styles tor fancy
trouserings wo have nothing new to report. We have
pleasure in noticing that the operative classes generally,
throughout this district, are now in more regular and
constant employment.

THE VACANT ALDEEMAN:IHIP OF FARRINGDON WARD
WITHIN.-- Upwards of sixty signatures, in addition ,to
those already received, were added yesterday to the re-
quisition soliciting Deputy Eagleton to permit himself
to be put in nomination for the Ward of Farringdon
Within, in the room of Thomas Kelly, Esq., the late
Alderman (deceased). Mr. Benjamin Phillips. (of the
firm of Fandel and Phillips) was named as a eandidatF,
in opposition to Deputy Eagleton ; but yesterday, in
consequence of the large number of signatures received
by the friends of the worthy deputy, that gentleman, in
the most handsome manner, withdrew !from the field.
The Lord Mayor has not at present named the day for
the election.
