THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 25th ult., in the
Constitutionnel, says—" All the Turkish troops
who were in Moldavia and at Ibraila, under the
orders of Sadyk Pacha and of Ahmed Pacha, have
left within the last eight or ten days to recross the
river at Goura Yaloruitza, and proceed, one part
to Silistria and the Dobrudscha, and the other to
Varna. Baron de Mensebach, consul-general of
Prussia in the Principalities, has just arrived here
from Berlin. It is believed that he will forthwith
resume official relations with the Wallachian, Go-
vernment ; he put an end to them during the
Russian occupation, on account of some arbitrary
acts committed by the Russian authorities against
Prussian subjects. M. Tastu, consul of France in
Moldavia, has arrived from Jassy, to act as consul-
general of France, in the room of M. Ponjade, who
has left for Constantinople and Paris."

WOOLLEN TRADz

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

past, but perhaps rather better. More business was
done in the Cloth hall, though we understand that in
part it consisted of job lots ; in other cases parties were
reluctant to sell for prices which will not replace their
goods. From a variety of causes work is scarce and
trade generally dull.
ROCHDALE, Feb. . g .---We have had - more inquiry for
goods to-day than ou the previous Monday, but not
much variation in price. The wool market remains
quiet, and the tendency of prices is in favour of the
buyer.
HALIFAX, Feb. 3.—We have no alteration to report
in the piece and yarn markets since our last weekly

limited, and the prices a little below what were current

SOUTH-EASTERN.

Mr. A. Beattie, who has been elected to the vacant
s!at.iu the direction of the company created by the re-
signation of Sir J. Campbell, states in a letter to the
shareholders that the past management of the company
has entailed a large amount of unprofitable expenditure,
both in capital and revenue; that profitless extensions
and guarantees have depressed the property, and that
the almost coia,tant attitude of hostility in which the
company has stood to adjacent companies has increased
the mischief done by thotle extensions. He thinks tlio
time has arrived for entering into a mutual understanding
with the Brighton Company, and for making such iir-
rangements with other neighbouring companies as might
relieve the South-Eastern Company in some measure
from the heavy burden of the Reading, G-uildford, and
Reigate line. He intimates that he is opposed to aziy
measures involving interminable expenditure on capital
account, and recommends a pacific policy with their
neighbours, with a view to develop° the traffic and im-
prove the property of the company.

GREAT LUXEMBOURG.
In the House of Representatives cf the Ilelgian Le-
gislature of the sth of February, Mr. Tesh called the
attention of the members to a grave and important fact
which had been stated at a meeting in London of the
shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Railway.
Mr. Txsn said,—I take this opportunity of calling the
attention of the Government to some important facts
which were stated at a meeting of shareholders of the
Luxembourg Railway, held at the end of December last.
These facts compromise not only the company, but like-
wise the interests, and even the honour of our country.
At that meeting it was affirmed that2the Luxembourg
Company had created a fund of 10,000 shares to be dis-
tributed to the press, and to influence persons in Belgium.
Although the Government and Admisistration are both
put out of the question, yet these allegations are,
notwithstanding, of a very grave character, and
are a scandalous violation of the statutes of the company.
Thera is no article in them which could authorise a di,-
tribution of 10,000 shares in order to corrupt public men
in this country. Now, what would be the result of such
a distribution I If the funds were really distributed in

The new screw steam-transport Scamander, Captain

which left Plymouth on the 24th of January, at 6 p.m.,
for Havre, encountered a gale of wind dead a-head,
against which she steamed until 7.30 a.m. on the 25th,
averaging eight knots. The course was then altered and
sails set, when she made 12 knots, which was maintained
till within 20 miles of the port. Time occupied, 19i
hours ' • average speed, nine knots. Immediately on
arrival, the French authorities commenced shipping
stores, consisting chiefly of barrels of salt meat. A large
number of ambulance waggons of excellent workmanship
was also embarked. The total quantity of stores shipped
amounted to about. 900 measurement tons. She sailed
at one o'clock on Sunday last direct for Malta, where
she will coal, and then proceed to Constantinople to
land the chief part of her cargo. Her ultimate destina-
tion is Cape Cherson. As the Scamander was steaming
out, the Pactolus, belonging to the same owners, was
going into Havre, also bound for the Crimea.

chester, belonging to the Liverpool and Philadelphia

STATE OF TRADE.

state
a f
MANCHESTER, Feb. 9.—The departments of our mar-
ket which are suffering least from the present course of
depression are mule yarns adapted to the India trade
which are taken with a concession of
,lid. per lb. ; certain
counts of doubled yarns; and such coarse cloths, and low
and bard-twistel y, to go to the Mediterranean,
which are yet too much undor contract to betray in any
butot a
e very e s
has actually taken place. neyond these, there are no
ic
goods, which has at length become so great, as to create
a feeling of deep anxiety among producers, leading many
exceptions tO
a that
te ofa llindgu-llness in yarns and
off in the demand
noticeable
igh tdere
of them seriously to contemplate a curtailment of their
production. The spinners of fine yarns, whose business
has long been a losing one, will
meet to-morrow for the
purpose of considering a proposal to limit the hours of
labour in their establishments. The makers of India
goods and various other fabrics are strongly advised
by the agency houses with which they are connec-
ted to adopt a measure which seems to be the
only means of preventing such an accumulation of stock
as must
shortly tie up their bands most completely ;
and we hear of two mills at Preston, in which the work-
people have received the notice usually given prior to
such a restriction. The producer will find an additional
motive to this course in the fact that the raw material
remains firm in price, while the finished article is every
week involving him in a greater loss.
GLASGOW, Feb. 9. —Thera is no change to report in
our cotton market. The same
quietness which has
prevailed for two or three weeks still contines, and
prices are getting lower.
BRADFORD, FRB. B.—Wool—There is no alteration
either as regards demand or price of combing wool,
were very liraited.
and the sales --Yarns—There is no
material change in the demand for Yarns, which is stea-
dily on the increase, and prices firm._
Pieces—The
manufacturers complain loudly of their profitless busi-
ness, for goods are sold at such prices that must entail a
continued loss, and there is no disposition to increase the
present
limited production.—Bradford
Observer.
LEICESTER, Feb.
B.—Complaints of the flatness of
trade are becoming more general; scarcely anything is
selling in any branch, except for Government orders.
There is no alteration in the price of either yarns or wool
to report.—Leicester Journal.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR.
Yesterday morning, the chairman of Lord CI. Welles.
ley's committee at the general election in 1852 received
a letter from his lordship, to the effect that the Almost
total absence of sight, under which the noble lord is still
suffering, renders it impossible for him to disoharge big
Parliamentary duties, and that he had made up his mind
to vacate his seat for Windsor by accepting the Chiltern.
Hundreds on an early day. Scarcely had this commu—
nication been made public when it was announced that,
the new writ had been moved for at the early sittings of
the House of Commons. Before this latter fact was ge
nerally known, -
Mr. G. W. Hope, accompanied by Mr.
Leslie Melville (the resident partner of the Windsor
Bank and Brewery), had made a partial canvass of the
town, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, his address,
offering himself as a Liberal-Conservative candidate,
was is.ued. Mr. Hope is the nephew of Lady Montagu,
and cousin to the Duke of Buceleuch, which will ac-
count for the address being dated from Ditton Park, in
this neighbourhood, one of the many seats possessed by
his grace, and now occupied by Lady Montagu. Mr.
Hope was returned for Weymouth in 1537, in opposi-
tion to the late Sir Thomas Fowell .13uton, and will
secure on the present occasion the cordial support of the
Conservative party. It is understood that Air. Samson
Ricardo, of Titness-park, Sunninghill, who contested.
this borough against Lord Charles Wellesley In 1852,
will be in the field to-morrow.
