STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, March 15.—The receipts of the week,
ending March 2d, at all the American ports were 131,000
bales, against 126,000 (the largest of last season) in the
corresponding week of last year ; and the total receipts,
2,326,000 against 1,791,000. The next week, it is said,
will exhibit a falling off of 12,000 to 15,000 bales. The
week's shipments to Great Britain . were only 30,000
against 57,000. Prices were steadier. It is evident that they
were depending very much upon accounts from Liverpool.
On Saturday, our market was exceedingly depressed in
its whole tone ; and it seemed highly probable that the
prices of yarns and goods would undergo a still fur-
ther decline. The transatlantic accounts have, how-
ever, produced an impression that a further fall is per-
haps for the present interrupted. We have conse-
quently had a more cheerful feeling, with more offers
from 'buyers, at last week's lowest prices, which, how-
ever, the producers of yarns and goods have not, in
general, been inclined to accept. This much is certain,
buyers might have supplied themselves on somewhat
easier terms at the latter end of last week, especially in
yarns, than they have been enabled to do to-day ; but
sellers cannot obtain a positive advance upon their pre-
vious quotations. No. 40's mule twist and 20's water
show the most improvement. Offers have been made
for fair quantities of India and China shirtings, but at
prices which have not been accepted. In domestics
there is rather more doing.
ROCHDALE, March 14.—T0-day we have had little
change in the market from that of the preceding Mon-
day, either in price or demand. The demand for wool
is very steady, and prices continue to advance slowly.
HALIFAX, March 12.—There is no noticeable change
to-day in the state of trade. Our piece hall has been
very thinly atsended, and but few goods of any sort
have changed hands. Yarn is again higher, but the ad-
vance is not equal to that on the raw material. Al-
though the spinners purchase sparingly, and only to
meet immediate needs, wool continues to rise, partly
owing to increasing scarcity and partly to speculative
sales.

HUDDERSFIELD, March 15.—Our market continues
brisk, but as manufacturers have nothing to sell, busi-
ness is done very quietly, goods being delivered direct
to order. The cloth hall is nearly deserted of goods,
and most of the private " shops" in the neighbourhood
are quite empty. Manufacturers are fully employed,
and if more hands could be got, could find customers for
the extra quantity of goods. The tendency in price is
upwards in most seasonable fabrics, as fancies of new
patterns and light goods generally.

ROUTES TO CALIFORNIA,-Our enterprising transat-
lantic brethren have just made the achievement of
abridging by nearly one-half the time spent in the jour-
ney to California. It was a month. It was then re-
duced by sevetal days. It has now been reduced a week
more, having been accomplished in 18 days. A specula-
five firm has just entered into a contract to convey the
mails in 16 days. The prospect is held out of further
reducing it to 12 days. Thus, every few months some
new progress is made, and the two coasts of the Ameri-
can continent are brought together.

months back, have notified a return, without deduction,
of the subscriptions received, in consequence of their
having failed in obtaining a charter. The negotiations
on the matter seem to have been attended with misun-
derstanding and disappointment, owing to the absence
of those definite principles. which alone can enable the
public to escape uncertainty as to the course that will
be pursued by the Board of Trade in any given case.

GERMANY.

A letter from Vienna ,of the 11th, in the Incle-
pendance of Brussels, states that the King of Prus-
sia was expected very shortly iu that capital, but
it denies that a congress of sovereigns is to be held
in that city. The interview of the King and the
Emperor of Austria will, says the letter, be of an
entirely private character ; that is to say, will not
lead to the adoption of any official or international
resolutions.

A Frankfort journal states that the Germanic
Diet has, on the proposition of the military com-
mission voted an augmentation of 50,000 men to
the Federal contingents.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Zollverein who are
at Berlin met on the 12th, but the conferences

PANY'S BILL.

Sir B. HALL moved the second reading of this
bill. He regretted to hear that it was about to be
opposed, but he understood that the only opposition to
it came from the existing metropolitan water com-
panies, who were anxious to prevent any competition,
and to maintain their present monopoly. The hon.
bart. complained of the bad and impure water which the
old companies at present supplied, and said the only way
to insure a better supply was to allow unrestricted com-
petition. He trusted the House would read the bill a
second time, so that it might be sent to commit* to
and then, if it turned
undergo the strictest investigation,

tap, no doubt, by further branches, &c., by-and-bye, our Hastings
and Crystal Palace traffic) ; for would not many travellers on the
North Kent Line, srom points below Lewisham, use this line if only
setting them down near Anerley, rather than go round by London-
bridge in order to pay the Br:ghton Company toll ? as to Hastings
through traffic the present agreement to halve it is determinable at
short notice, and the moment it suited them the South Eastern
would give it.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—MARCH it.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade, with several buyers from a dis-
tance, and a large business might have been done in wheat
and flour had holdersheen disposed to take the low prices
lately current ; however, more money was insisted upon,
and where sales were made, the depression noted on Friday
was generally recovered. French flour did not participate
in the improvement, and must be quoted is per sack lower
on the week. Oats and oatmeal met with an extremely
slow sale, and a decline of lid per 451 b, and 6d to 9d Per
load was submitted to. Barley, beans, and peas wore in
fair request at late ratos. Indian corn on the spot was
only in small demand, and fully is per qr;lower for white ;
cargoes arrived off the coast were more inquired for, and
sales were effected at 31s 6d per quarter for Galatz and
Odessa, and 29s 6d per quarter for Ibraila—cost, freight,
and insurance.

THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN.

The first general meeting of the directors of the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Junction Company was held yesterday.
The directors present were—Lord 'Wharncliffe and
Messrs. J. S. Brownrigg, T. R. Crampton, Edward Crap-
per, J. C. Ewart, W. J. Hamilton, H. T. Hope, A.
'Montoya, M. Wilson, L. Haslewood, A. Wilson, Capt.
Mackinnon, and Admiral Moorsome. The solicitor,
Mr. Charles Freshfield ' • the engineer, Mr. Lionel Go-
borne ; and the official auditor, Mr. J. E. Coleman,
were also present, together with the secretary, Dr.. Black.
After Sir Charles Fox had given an outline of his whole
proceedings in relation to this great undertaking, the
communications with her Majesty's Government, and
with that of the United States, were laid before the
meeting and cordially received. It was announced that
the 24,0001. caution-money will be duly paid to the credit
of the republic of New Granada with the Bank of Eng-
land, and it was unanimously agreed that the amount
of 75,0001., required for preliminary expenditure, Was
reasonable and fully justified by the clear prospect of
remunerative results on the ultimate capital. The board
was also informed that a communication is to be expected
in the course of a few days from the British Ambassador
in Paris, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Ai."
fairs, to fix a day on which the Emperor of the French
would give an audience to Sir Charles Fox, and a depa-
tation from the company, in whose arrangements, it is
hoped, that France and Russia, as great maritime
powers, will co-operate with the British and American
Governments.

The necessary resolutions for the further proceedings
of the board of directors were then agreed to, and the
meeting separated, after the usual vote of thanks to the
noble chairman.

PANY'S BILL,

Sir B. HALL moved the second reading of this
bill. He regretted to hear that it was about to be
opposed, but he understood that the only opposition to
it came from the existing metropolitan water com-
panies, who were anxious to prevent any competition,
and to maintain their present monopoly. The hon.
bart. complained of the bad and impure water which the
old companies at present supplied, and said the only way
to insure a better supply was to allow unrestricted com-
petition. He trusted the House would read the bill a
second time, s• that it might be sent to committee to
undergo the strictest investigation, and then, if it turned

out all moonshine and unnecessary, it would be the duty
of the house to reject it.
Mr. HALSEY moved that the bill be read a second
time this day six months. He objected to the bill
because it would operate injuriously to the interests of
the existin. companies.
Lord D. STUART hoped the house would agree to
the second reading of the bill. He thought it was too
bad that in these days of free trade they should be pre-
vented from having free trade in one of the first neces-
saries of life.
Lord PALMERSTON said he should vote upon the
bill, in accordance with an answer which he had given
on a former occasion on the same subject. By an act
of last session, there were imposed on the present
companies obligations in respect to the supply of
water, which were attended by great expense, and
there would be considerable delay before their necessary
works could be carried into effect. He, therefore,
thought it would not be in accordance with the under-
standing implied by that act that they should sanction
another bill before the time had expired for the comple-
tion of the works of the old companies, and before it
was known whether these works were sufficient to meet
the wants of the metropolis. Whatever objections were
made to the present supply of water, the supply by this
company was not altogether free from objection, as it
would come from a chalk country.

The house then divided. when there appeared—
For the second reading
Against it.

SPAIN.

The contents of the Madrid journals of the 10th
are not important. In the Senate on the preceding
day, the motion of M. Lopez and other senators of
the Progressist party, was rejected, after an ani-
mated discussion or 70 votes to 32. The committee
on the affair of *General Narvaez was to meet on
the 10th to receive the explanations of the Presi-
dent of the Council of Ministers and of the Minister
of War. Its report, it was believed, would not be
presented for several days. The Chamber of De-
puties, in its sitting of that day, continued, the
examination of election returns. The Marquis de
Pidal made a sharp attack on the Government for

its interference in certain elections, and the Minister
of the interior replied. It was said that the Coun-
cil of Ministers had resolved to create a number of
new senators. It is stated by one of the journals
'that an agreement has been signed between M.
Grimaldi and M. Salamanca for providing funds
for the execution of the Northern railway, and that
the French Government is very favourable to the
line.

The Spanish Government has just concluded,
through the firm of Salamanca, a Three per Cent.
loan at 46f. for 900 millions of reals (about 230
millions of francs) with the house of Baring, of
London. But of these 900 millions of reals 200

millions are destined to pay off old debts, the regu-
lation of the matter being entrusted to the firm of
Salamanca. Nothing has as yet been decided as to
the ulterior proceedings.

GERMANY.

A letter from Vienna of the 11th, in the Ind&
pendance of Brussels, states that the King of Prus-
sia was expected very shortly in that capital, but
it denies that a congress of sovereigns is to be held
in that city. The interview of the King and the
Emperor of Austria will, says the letter, be of an
entirely private character ; that is to say, will not
lead to the adoption of any official or international
resolutions.

A Frankfort journal states that the Germanic
Diet has, on the proposition of the military com-
mission voted an augmentation of 50,000 men to
the Federal contingents.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Zollverein who are
at Berlin met on the 12th, but the conferences
were not opened, as the Plenipotentiary of Bavaria
had not arrived.
