SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.

A Washington correspondent of. the New York
Tribune furnishes that journal with some particulars of
the state of affairs in Mexico, and of Mr. Soule's efforts
for the acquisition of Cuba.
" Under some aspects of the case Mr. Souls has
managed the negotiations at Madrid for the purchase of
Cuba with decided ability. Thus, although the in-
structions of the State Department were decided in
their character, they were not sufficiently so to make
' an immediate issue—an issue of reparation or war. The
American Minister, studying thoroughly the tenour of
his instructions and the character of the Government
with which ho had to deal, arrived at the
conclusion that, unless a direct issue were made in the
start, a long series of negotiations and of delays would
follow, until the original claim would be lost in super-
added details. He followed carefully the instructions of
Mr. Marcy, but he imparted to them at the same time
his own style—that is, out of documents intended to be
positive, but which lacked firmness of style, he made
those with a direct issue, and shut down the gate at once
upon the long and useless negotiations which would have
followed.

" The war-issue was thus made in the early part of
the dispute. And now what was the result ? On the
one hand Mr. Marcy refused to sustain Mr. Soule, and
on the other the Calderon Cabinet (now in exile),
so hostile to Mr. Soule, knowing that he was unsustained
at Washington, treated his demands with as little consi-
deration as if they had come from the King of Timbuctoo.
Finding, therefore, that he was not sustained by his
Government in the positions which they had themselves
indicated to him, and that he thus lacked the support
which would enable him to compel the Spanish Cabinet
to treat him with respect, he determined to resign.
"At this moment, however, it became evident that
Spain was upon the point of a revolution, and Mr. Soule,
feeling that new circumstances might grow out of this
event that would enable him not only to carry out his
instructions with regard to the Cuban difficulty, but at
the same time to ,map a triumph over the Calderon
Cabinet, he deemed it advisable to hold on. His hopes
of effecting a settlement, in case of a revolution, were
based principally on three facts :-1. If the Queen should
see herself in danger of a forced abdication, she would
cede the island for a consideration ; 2. The party coming
into power would, in all probability, not only need funds,
but a,.1 the available force of the country, to retain their
power ; and they would, therefore, feel the necessity of
immediate action on the subject ; or 3. The party coining
into power, being guided by other councils than their
predecessors, might acknowledge the impossibility of re-
taining Cuba, and at once come to terms.
" Tne revolution has occurred ; the unsubmissive
Cabinet has been driven out and disgraced, and a con-
stitutional Government, with Espartero, the only great
Irian in the kingdom, at is head, is about to be formed.
Espartero is an enlightened and a liberal statesman, n
man who has spent a large portion of his life in England,
and is imbued with the principles of constitutional Go-
vernment. He is above an exhibition of personal animo-
sity in the administration of public affairs ; and it is now
hoped by Mr Soule that if a cession of the island doe,
not take place, that ample reparation at least will be
inade for the repeated insults alleged to have been
offered our citizens and our commerce by the Cuban
authorities, such as in the case of the Black Warrior
and others.

"It will have been observed by those readers of the
Tribune who have followed the recent news from Spain,
that after O'Donnell marched out of Madrid, a delay of
two weeks occurred before much sympathy was shown
for the movement in those departments of the south
which have since and with so much unanimity, declared
in favour of the revolution. This delay grew out of the
fact that in most of those departments the movement
was headed by Republicans ; and it was not until
O'Donnell promised to favour Republican .doctrines
that they consented to come to his support. The
promise was made at a time when he feared his cause
was lost, and he was glad to accept any support. There
is not much doubt but that the revoltition would have
proved equally successful in the results that have been ob-
tained ; but it is well known that the Spanish Republi-
cans, although few in number, form the most active
politicians of the country, and to their activity is no
no doubt due the sudden and simultaneous rising of so
many of the departments. For the moment the Re-
publicans seem to have lost their labour ; but the State
Department is advised that they still feel confident in
establishing very soon a government which shall neither
be a monarchy nor an empire. They will, perhaps,
consent to commence with a 10 years' dictatorship.
" Meanwhile, the latest despatches to the department
here are to the effect that, for the moment nothing,
whatever can be done by the American agent in Spain,
and that the only course to be pursued is to wait quietly
for affairs again to assume a settled aspect. Then the
settlement of our difficulties and the acquisition of
Cuba can be brought up again. If the President only
had his $10,000,000, he might, perhaps, useit effectually
fur filibuster operations in the meanwhile."

DISCOVERY OF RICH IRON ORE.—An extensive field
of ironstone has recently been discovered at Rosedale,
near Pickering, on the property of R. Kitchen, Esq.
A sample of the stone, sent to Newcastle, has been
analysed there this week, and found to contain no less
than 67 per cent. of pure iron. The discovery must be
valuable, as the yield of the stone, we believe, doubles
that of any other in the district. Its richness, indeed,
seems almost incredible.-- Gateshead Observer.
OPENING OF THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT TO THE
PUBLlC.—Notice has been issued by the Lord Chamber-
lain that, during the time the Houses of Parliament are
prorogued, the public will be admitted to view them every
Saturday, from twelve to four o'clock, by obtaining
orders at the Lord Chamberlain's office, which can be
procured on application.

SECONDARIES COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
BARBER V. BALLS.
This was an action to recover damages for breach of
promise of marriage.

The plaintiff is the daughter of a respectable mall'
residing at Norwood, and defendant is an omnibus Pro'
prietor. It appeared that the defendant had three yearS
ago made honourable proposals to the plaintiff and her
parents, and was admitted as a suitor up to April last.
The defendant paid such attentions as led to the
firm belief that he was not a mere gay deceiver;
but after having bought the ring, and had the banns
.
published, he declined to tie the lover's knot.
The jury gave a verdict for 751.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 4,000 bales, including 500 American
taken fur export. The market again closed heavily,
with but very little change in prices. The sales
comprised 80 Pernam and Maranham, at Qd. to
7id. ; 30 Bahia, at Gid.; 150 Egyptian, at 52d. to
Bd.; 500 Surat, at 3d. to 41d. ; and the remain-
der American. Railway Shares were steady.
The Foreign Exchanks yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited some slight symptom of weakness for three
months' bills. Paris, however, remained unaltered,
being 25, 27k to 30. Antwerp, 25, 25 to 30. Am-
sterdam, 11, 171 to 17k; Hamburg, 13, 61 to 6i ;
Frankfort, 1184 tb 119 ; and Trieste, 11, 52 to 56.
There has been a slight demand for gold to be
shipped to the Continent, and, with the exception
of the fine gold from America, which has been
melted and sent into the Bank of England, all
available parcels have been taken. Bar gold is
775. 9d. per oz. standard, and bar silver ss. lid.

From Brussels yesterday, under the head of
various important tours in the interior, it is stated
the markets continued to be well provisioned with
considerable quantities of the new wheat and other
grain. Active purchases at Courtray had improved
the quotations, both for wheat and oats, two francs
per hectolitre. At Grammont, on the contrary,
with very plentiful supplies, prices were lower. At
Liege and Louvain again prices had realised an
advance of about one franc.
The suspension of M. Henri Von Wertheimstein,
" one of our great houses of commerce," says the
advice from Vienna, suspended payment in that
capital on Monday last. The fact transpired here
late yesterday, but must have been known to lead-
ing mercantile houses connected with Vienna on the
day of its occurrence, probably through the electric
telegraph. No particulars of the extent of the lia-
blities involved are as yet known. Two other
great failures were also spoken of, but apparently
as o inflected with Stock Exchange speculations.
The stoppage of Messrs. Morpurgo and Co.,
general commission merchants, chiefly in the
Italian trade, became known yesterday on 'Change.
The house had, it is stated, been concerned in ex-
tensive grain speculations in connection with
Galatz and Alexandria.
The Stock Market has been remarkably quiet
all morning, which indeed maybe readily accounted
for, not only by the absence ot any existing intelli-
gence, but by the thin attendance of jobbers and
speculators, whose operations are the animating
cause of all business and fluctuations other than
what might more gradually grow out of the less
massy but more regular every-day business of
money purchases by the public for bona fide in-
vestment, or sales for the realisation of funds
wanted forcommercial or other purposes. Brighton,
Paris, and the Rhine, are now probably among the
temporary quarters where many of the more stirring
spirits of the Stock Exchange are seeking repose,
or recreation, or both.
The quotations of public securities,_ in conse-
quence are not quite, so well supported, but still the
variation of ls. Bd. can scarcely be called a de-
cline. Consols are called 934 to 4 for transfer,
and 94 to for time, with sluggish business.

The controversy between the Proprietors of the
Ottoman Bank and the Agents, or, astbeynow pub-
lish themselves, the Contractors of the Turkish
Loan, would seem to be far from terminated, as
will be seen below from the letter of Mr. Stanley,
representing the Bank. It is in flat contradiction
of the assertions put forth in the letter recently
pblished and signed by M. Musurus, the Turkish
Envoy. No observations need for the present to
be made on the subject matter of dispute, respect-
ing the facts of which we can hardly fail to be fur-
ther enlightened in its progress. It may be stated,
however, that according to accredited advices the
loan hangs fire in Paris, and on the Bourse its ex-
istence seems to remain unrecognised. It is re-
Inarked, also, that no sign of recognition or sapro-
vat similar to that stated of Lord Clarendon, has
yet issued from M. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs, although in the
programme of the loan issued by the re-
spectable agents here, the act of that Minis-
ter's adhesion and approval 'was very dis-
tinctly notified and assured as forthcoming.
The publication of the Sultan's firmans at once
Would do much to settle this vexed question. In
the meantime, it is to be hoped that the present is
not destined to conclude in a catastrophe like that
of the last war, in which the dealers and holders
were so unluckily shorn of their paid premiums.
THE TURKISH LOAN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.
" SIR,—My attention has just been called to the letter
.:flubliked in your journal of the 21st instant, and signed
by M. Musurus, the Ambassador of the Sublime Porte,
in London.'
" The letter states that Messrs. Trouve-Chauvel and.
Stanley question the right of any one to apply any por-
tion of the Egyptian Tributes, as guarantee for the new
Turkish Loan, alleging that those tributes are already
Made over in favour of the proposed Bank of Constanti-
nople.
It further adds that the Embassy of the Sublime Porte
in London gives the most formal denial to this unjustifi-
able assertion ; and whilst acknowledging that a contract
was passed between the Subline Porte and certain bankers
at Constantinople, asserts that they (the bankers) have
since obtained the cancelling of the contract, and that con-
sequently all engagements on both sides are null and void.
lam compiled, sir, in reply to state—first, that the
contract passed between the Sublime Porte and the
bankers alluded to was, with the sanction of his Imperial
Majesty the Sultan, transferred by a sub-contract duly
certified to M. Trouve-Chauvel and myself, under the firm
'3IB- R. Stanley and Co., and that in the contract the
tributes of Egypt were transferred to the bank ; secondly,
that there never has been any attempt made by the
bankers to obtain the cancelling of such contract, nor of
any part of it, and that, so far as I know, there has never
been any desire on the part of the Ottoman Government
to disengage itself or relieve us from engagements which
are mutually binding.
All the documents relating to this question are now
deposited in the hands of the legal authorities in Paris,
and are consequently open to public inspection—every do-
cument bears the necessary signature of the official ap-
Pointe.d by H.I.M. the Sultan, countersigned and attested
!)y they French and British Consular authorities—and as it
IS upon these documents alone that we found our claim, so
it will be from the same source alone that the proposed
subscribers to the loan can ascertain how far their preten-
sions can he upheld in so far as regards the tributes of
Egypt.—Yours, &e. E. H. STANLEY.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Aug. 22.—1 n our market the tendency
to quietness, which was observable last week, particu-
larly towards its close, has become more marked to-day ;
both the home and foreign buyers of the middle and lower
numbers of yarns having shown an increased indisposi-
tion to operate. In this they are evidently very much
influenced by the position of the cotton market ; then,
again, many have bought very freely of late, and are
now well supplied. Under these circumstances, some
little irregularity is introduced into prices. The great
body of spinners are indeed too much under contract to
make any change in their quotations ; but here and
there one is willing to concede ad. per lb. in some de-
scriptions. The sales have been inconsiderable in their
aggregate amount. In the department of goods a simi-
lar restriction of transactions is experienced. In general.
manufacturers are not at all inclined to accept the small-
est reduction from the previous quotations, which were
quite unremunerative, and in many kinds worse than
unremunerative.

ROCHDALE, Aug. 21.—Business to some extent has
been limited, on account of the wakes, when most of
the mills stop for a day or two. Wool may be said to
be a little firmer, and the demand steady.
HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. 22.—The goods disposed of
have generally been of moderate quality, but in small
parcels. The wool trade has been very quiet ; but rather
more has been done in wools since last Tuesday than
for some time before.

BIRMINGHAM, August 21.—The past week has wit-
nessed a considerably improved f€eling in this trade.
The withholding of orders that followed those unmis-
takeable sigLs of dubiousnesA among some of our leading
manofactur,rs as to their ability to maintain the ad-
vanced position into which they had been forced, has
been carried to its full extent without effect, and a reac-
tion of a promising character appears to have set in,
with a revival of demand equal to every power of pro-
duction. For pig iron of good quality there has again
been more inquiry, and the purchases of quarter day are
all fast being used up, so that there is little prospect of
any further concession on the part of pig makers ; per-
haps the prices may be quoted something like 2s. 6d. or
ss. per ton lower than were demanded at the end of
June, with, however, less inclination to sell than was
evidenced a fortnight ago. The accounts from Glasgow
notice a renewed impulse in the Scotch pig market, with
an advance of 3s. to 4s. per ton.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very
limited ; yet the demand for all kinds was exceedingly in-
active, and Monday's prices were with difficulty sup-
ported.
Although the supply of foreign wheat was not to say
large, all descriptions moved off heavily, and inferior par-
cels were lower to purchase. -
Barley commanded very little attention, on former terms.
The malt trade was dull, but no actual hange took place
in prices.
Oats were in moderate supply, and heavy request, on
former terms.

Beans, peas, and flour were almost nominal.
