SPAIN.

A decree in the Gazette enacts that an exhibition
of fine arts shall take place at Madrid every 2 years
in the month of May ; but that foreign artists shall
only be allowed to exhibit works actually executed
in Spain.
The Marquis de Turgot was able to leave his bed
for the first time on the 12th.

The Queen was going on well. When she was
informed of the death -of her newly-born daughter,
she burst into tears. For two days she had sus-
pected that the little princess was dead. The re-
mains of the deceased have been removed to the
Escurial with the customary ceremonial. The
Queen will, it is believed, shortly be able to oc-
cupy herself with public affairs ; and one of her
first acts will be to sign the treaty between Spain
and France for the protection of literary property-
The Duke and Duchess de Montpensier were to
leave on the 13th, and the Duke of Parma in two
or three days afterwards.

The Three per Cents. were done at 30/ ; the New
Three per Cents. at 20g ; the Debt of the First
Class, at 8i ; and that of the Second, at 4i.

PRUSSIA.

The Second Chamber of Prussia, in its sitting Of
the 14th, definitively adopted the Communal Bill
for the province of Westphalia, which led to so
many debates last session. It afterwards coin-
menced the discussion of the bill for changing cer-
tain clauses in the Constitution, which has been
so often modified. The question now is to deter-
mine what power shall have the right of prosecut-
ing public functionaries and employes for abuses
of power in the exercise of their functions. The
Constitution gives this right to the judicial power,
to the exclusion of the administrative authority.
The object of the present measure is to give the
latter the power of stopping the prosecution if it
considers it unfounded.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Jan. 17.—The American advices, re-
ceived yesterday, report an increase in the receipts of
cotton from the interior ; and a considerable augmenta- •
tion may from this time be looked for, as the rivers are
high, and prices tempting. Hence there is a disposition
to-day to expect that cottoit may become rather easier
for buyers. Since the arrival of the overland mail with
favourable accounts from Calcutta, there has been a re-
newed demand for suitable yarns and for the lower qua-
lities of shirtings, madapollams, and jaconets. Some
purchases of Slb. to 811 b. shirtings have also been made.
ROCHDALE, Jan. 16. We have had to-day a rather
slack market, except in kerseys and coarse goods, for
which there has been a tolerably good demand, with
little or no change in prices from those of the former
week. The wool market has been languid • the manu-
facturers buy sparingly ; but prices are firmly: main-
tained.

HALIFAX, Jan. 14.—The attendance in our piece hall
to-day has not been large, and but few goods have
changed hands. The manufacturers find it difficult to
realise prices adequate to the cost of production.
HUDDERSFIELD, Jan. 17.—During the past week
there has been a good trade done in the warehouses to
order. Flatness in the general business was to be anti-
cipated from the season of the year.
BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 16.—The quarterly meetings in
the iron trade of the last week have passed off with
more than ordinary satisfaction to all parties. Both
buyers and sellers appeared contented, and accounts
on all hands were met with alacrity. But, notwith-
standing the prevalence of an undiminished brisk de-
mand, several circumstances operated to prevent the
transaction of anything beyond an average extent of
business.

ITALY.

An important bill concerning the Jews has been
presented to the Piedmontese Chambers by the
Government. By this bill, the Israelite population
of the kingdom, now divided into the Universities
of Piedmont, Monferrato, Alessandria, and Nice,
are authorised to exercise self-government in mat-
ters relating to their religion and worship. For
this purpose, the Israelits of the kingdom are
divided into 20 electoral circles, each of which is
to elect a representative to a General Assembly,
which is to meet at Turin every third year, or
whenever the Minister of the Interior shall con-
voke it. The General Assembly fixes the duties of
. the rabbis, the taxes for the cost of public worship,
the general budget, the stipend of Grand Rabbi,
&c. One half of the General Assembly is re-
newed every three years. The General Assembly
appoints a central direction of five members, whose
duties consist in executing the deliberations of the
Assembly, exercising the vigilance over all the
Hebrew communities of the kingdom, suspending.
rabbis, &c. Every University elects a council of
administration, composed of five members, for the
superintendence of local interests and worship. The
Government is empowered to determine, by royal
decrees, the minor rules to be observed in the exe-
cution of the above measure.

The _Parlament° of Turin of the 14th announces
that the King of Sardinia has suspended Advocate
Racca, Intendant of Aosta, from his functions, bat
with the permission of demanding an inquiry into
the recent events, to justify his conduct.
A letter from the Romagna of the 7th, in the
Parlainento of Turin, states that that province is in
great consternation owing to the increase of brigan-
dage. People are afraid of being out late at night,
and at Faenza the theatre is quite deserted. At
the market of Ravenna corn is sold at 53f. 50c. per
sack of one hectolitre and 15 litres. At Lugo, corn
dealers are forced by the police to sell corn at S
scudi (42fr. 80c.) per sack. The local authorities
at Faenza have forbidden the exportation of corn
from their territory.

PRICES OF BREAD AND MEAT IN FRANCE FOR THE
LAST 153 YEARS.—By the official statistics just pub-
lished, the prices of bread and meat at different epochs
were as follows :—Bread.—From 1700 to 1763 the mean
price of the 21b. loaf was 1 sou 9 deniers ; from 1763 to
1812, 2 sous ; from 1812 to 1846, 3 sous ; from 1846 to
1853, 4 sous. Meat.—From 1700 to 1763, for 21b., 5
sous ; from 1763 to 1812, 9 sous ; from 1812 to 1846,
11 sous ; 1846 to 1853, 18 sous. But, while agricul-
tural products have risen in price, manufactures have.
on the contrary, declined. 'Woollen goods have declined
by two-thirds, silk and cotton by three-fourths, and so
on with all sorts 9f fabrics, luxuries, or necessaries.—

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 19.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—There was no improvement in the
general railway share market to-day, and business in all
descriptions of stock was very inanimate. The only trans-
actions reported on 'Change were in Birmingham, Wolver-
hampton, and Stour Valley Shares, which were done at 9.

THE VINE BLIGHT.—At a time when this dreadful
malaria appears to threaten the total annihilation of the
vines throughout Europe, any remarks upon this subject
must be interesting to our readers. We have pleasure,
therefore in observing that the Cadiz Wine .Company,
26, St. James's-street (in their Vade Mecum for this
year), enter fully into the cause and probable extension of
the disorder, and grapple with the subject in so lucid a
manner, that we feel convinced some member of their
firm must be personally acquainted with the vineyards
and countries of which they treat. To the more scientific
of our readers the three illustrations of the blight, at
page 7 in the book, cannot but prove acceptable.

FRANCE.

The Morning Post publishes a telegraphic de-
spatch from its Paris correspondent, dated last
night, which says that the constantly-repeated
rumour that the Emperor Nicholas had refused the
propositions for peace is premature, for as the pro-
positions did not leave Vienna till the 13th, and
could not arrive at St. Petersburg till the 18th or
19th, it is manifest we cannot hear of their rejec-
tion for a week to come—say next Tuesday at the
earliest.

The Momiteur• of yesterday publishes a decree,
which prolongs to foreign vessels the privilege to
carry on between France and England the trans-
port of corn, flour, meal, and other alimentary
commodities.

The armaments are going on with unusual ac-
tivity in the French ports.
At Toulon the Marseilles, Algerie, Suffren,
Dupre, la Fleur, and the frigate Zenobie are fitted
out.

The three ships Louis XIV., Turenne, and Ulm
will shortly be launched at Rochefort.
At Brest the armament of four ships and six
frigates is being actively carried on, while at Cher-
bourg a levy of 300 shipwrights has been ordered
for the completion of the Tilsit, which, it is ex-
pected, will put to sea on the Ist of April.
A letter from Broussa states that in the midst
of his agricultural pursuits the Emir Abd-el-Kader
never misses an opportunity of testifying his
religious respect for all the sacred traditions of
Islamism. On the 30th ult., accompanied by
his family and suite, he visited the tombs of
the two first SuLans of the Turkish dynasty,
Othman and Oscar, whom he buried in a mosque
in the small village of Chirchie, near Broussa.
After having walked three times round the
building, he offered up. a prayer for the triumph
of the reigning Sultan, saying :—" 0 Allah, pro-
tect the chief of the believers against the infidel
Padichah of the Russians, and a,vdnge your
servants the sublime
.victims of Sinop°, who are
now near you."

The latest accounts received from St Petersburg
and Vienna produced a serious impression among
the speculators at the Bourse yesterday. The Three

A letter from Broussa states that in the midst
of his agricultural pursuits the Emir Abd-el-Kader
never misses an opportunity of testifying his
religious respeet for all the sacred traditions of
Islamism. On the 30th ult., accompanied by
his family and suite, he visited the tombs of
the two first Sultans of the Turkish dynasty,
Othman and Oscar, whom he buried in a mosque
in the small village of Chirchio, near Broussa.
After having walked three times round the
building, he offered up a prayer for the triumph
of the reigning Sultan, saying :—" 0 Allah, pro-
tect the chief of the believers against the infidel
Padichah of the Russians, and avenge your
servants the sublime victims of Sinop°, who aro
now near you."

The Emancipation of Brussels has the following:
We are assured that in presence of the eventu-

alities of a European war, the superior Executive
Government of the Swiss Confederation will shortly
submit to the Federal Assembly, which is at pre-
sent sitting, a demand for a credit of from 300,000 fr.
to 400,000 fr. for stationing, within a few weeks, a
body of troops on the frontiers on the side of Ger-
many, and especially of the Austrian States.
The Inclependance of Brussels also states that a

NEW MUSIC.

IVitie Songs from the Opera of Love's Alarms. The
words by J. P. Buckstone. The Music by Ed-
ward Francis Fitzwilliam. D'Almaine and Co.,

Soho-square.
The words of these songs are taken from the
opera recently performed• at the Haymarket. As
may be supposed, the words are most of them
comic, though not inelegant. The exceptions to
this rule are very pretty, though sentimental. They
are the duet of " Dearest be mine," the canzonet
" Farewell to love," and the ballad" When should
lovers breathe their vows ?" The music to all the
being lively and
prestige of having been
sung by popular favourites, as the names of Miss
Louisa Pyne, Miss Featherstone, Mr. Harrison,
&c. are appended to most
original.wo r si s oTfhe a y superior kind, kind,
of them. The admirers
of comic songs will find these well suited for them,
and, although the exceptions
seem more calculated for Private singing, the others
are certainly superior to the we have mentioned
generality of comic
music.

A Set of Songs. The Poetry Selected. The Music
by Edward Francis Fitzvviniam. D'Almaine
and Co., Soho-square.

It is certainly a relief after the sentimental com-

apwull ao cr ed ss s weir]. hehe ethree are arei
wags in this volume,
the price of which is twelve shillings. They are,
therefore, much less expensive than if sold sepa-
rately. ",The Minstrel's Monitor," by L. E. L.,
is a beautiful lyric,
cd u
twelveual usually written for songs to
which expresses the same idea
as Mrs. Hemans in " The Diver." The accom-
paniment flows in harmonious unison with the
words. " Love like a shadow flies" is a fragment
from Shakspere, skilfully arranged. " The Moun-
tain breeze" and a " German cradle song" are two
pleasing ballads. One verse has been taken from
the apostrophe of the sea at the conclusion of
" Childe Harold. 33 6c A Legend of Spectresheim"
is a mysterious record of unknown crimes. Its
chief point is the chorus. Macaulay's " Ivry and
the Armada" are also added. We question whe-
ther the best part of the latter has been selected,
but of course the singer can easily transpose the
words. The music is of considerable merit, and
the volume will be found very attractive to all
who prefer to see good music accompanied by words
which have something more than mere euphony of
sound to recommend them.

The Heather Bell. The Fragile Flower.—One
Morn as o'er the Hills I Strayed.—The Merry
First of May. Campbell, Ransford, and Co., New
Bond-street.
The words of these songs are taken from Mr.
Henry Drayton's lyric sketch of " Pierre," which
was recently performed at the St. James's Theatre.
The music is composed by Joseph F. Duggan.
They are all pleasing and melodious, and likely to
become general favourites, especially the ballads of

Lima, Nov. 26.
It being unnecessary that the vessels occupied in carry-
ing guano, and which go. with this object to the Chincha
Islands
permission of the Government, should
return ' with the
to Callao for the purpose only of fulfilling the
formality of finally
closing their register, which can
be effected at the said islands, that measure causing
to the shipping the loss of some days, which can be
employed to the benefit of the long voyage which
they have to make to arrive at their distination, and at the
same time they suffer much injury by the desertion of the
crews consequent upon the vessels staying in the port of
Callao ; it is resolved, that the captains of vessels loaded
with guano who wish to depart direct from the Chincha
Islands to the place of discharge, may do so ; and in such
case they must be cleared by the chief of the station or the
government which may be established there, who shall
give notice to the Custom-house of Callao of those to whom
the permission is conceded. And in consideration that by
this measure the owners of ships derive a benefit, and that
the excessive cost occasioned by the demurrage on account
of the impossibility of exporting the quantity of tons re-
quired for the demands of the different markets ten laydays
more than those fixed in the charters for guano shall be
allowed in compensation for the concession made. At the
same time the consignees of those ships shall exact that
they have at the islands the quantity of water allotted to
them until the Government can make other arrangements.
Communicate, register, and publish this.

THE VINE BLIGHT.-At a time when this dreadful
malaria appears to threaten the total annihilation of the
vines throughout Europe, any remarks upon this subject
must be interesting to our readers. We have pleasure,
therefore, in observing that the Cadiz Wine Company,
26, St. James's-street (in their Vade Mecum for this
year), enter fully into the cause and probable extension of
the disorder, and grapple with the subject in so lucid a
manner, that we feel convinced some member of their
firm must be personally acquainted with the vineyards
and countries of which they treat. To the more scientific
of our readers the three illustrations of the blight, at
page 7 in the book, cannot but prove acceptable.
