THE CZAR'S ANSWER TO THE PRUSSIAN

NOTE.

The Press of Vienna contains a letter from St. Peters-
burg of the let, which says:—
"A circumstance which took place on Oct. 30, in the
drawing-room of the Princess Tr--, proves that the no-
bility here have no great confidence in the suc-
cess of the Czar. The despatch relative to the
success which General Liprandi affirms he obtained
over the Allies was brought in, but no one
would believe the statement until the account given
of the affair by the eneray should have been seen. On
the proposition of a gentleman present, a collection for
the wounded in the Crimea was made, and it amounted
to 1,200 roubles. Afterwards another being set on foot
for the continuation of the war, only 150 roubles were
collected. The Czar had yesterday a long conversation
with Count de Ncsselrode, in which he gave him the
necessary instructions for the reply to be made to the
last Prussian note. The Czar persists in the sentiments
which he has hitherto manifested, and is disposed to
make concessions to Austria only. It is not difficult to
see in what they will consist ; the Czar, all of whose
troops are now occupied in fighting against the Western
Powers and the Turks, will avoid for the moment
engaging in any dispute with Austria. Political motives
will be put forward as the pretext, but in reality it
is for strategical reasons that the guards are to quit
the Austrian frontiers. The Czar expects a long war,.
and is taking all the measures required to ensure his own
success in it. A new levy of 200,000 men is being pre-
pared in silence, and all the governors of the empire
have received orders to make the necessary preparations
to have that measure executed promptly. The Prussian
ambassador has, it is said, handed to the Czar au auto-
graph letter from his Sovereign."

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Chtardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Nov. 14.---There has been an increased
backwardness to operate, and the business of the day
has been considerable. On the other band, the
various counts of extra hard twist continue in request
for the Mediterranean and Turkish markets, and,
being under contract, the spinners are enabled fully to
there is very little regular demand for anything ; even
command their prices. In the department of goods,
T cloths and longcloths being less in request. Of prices,
all that can be said is that their bearing appears to be
still against sellers.
HALIFAX, Nov. 11.—We have no improvement to
report as regards the demand for worsted goods, which
is exceedingly languid, and vary little business has been
done to-day in our Piece Hall. The inquiry for yarn is
very limited, and the proportion of machinery not
running is unusually great. Wool is very quiet, with
the turn in favour of the buyer.
ROCHDALE, Nov. 13.—The flannel market has been
a little quieter to-day, and the demand for goods not
so brisk ; but there has been little or no change in
prices. The wool market is steady, with a tendency
rather in favour of the buyer.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 14.—The market continues very
flat. There appears to have been even less doing to-day
than usual, and complaints are general. Short time
in the country manufactories is now general, and yet
stocks increase. It is to be hoped that there will shortly
be an alteration for the better.
