SPAIN.

The 23d being Monday, the only,Madrid jour-
nal which appeared was the Gazette, and it has
reached us in due course. It contains a circular
from the Minister of the Interior to the Governors
of Provinces, informing them that " the Queen
desires that all the deputies who have received the
great honour of representing the nation shall be
present at the opening of the Constituent Cortes,"
and directing them to facilitate by all possible
means their arrival in the capital by the Bth No-
vember."

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS, Oct. 27.—There has been considerable varia-
tion in the state of the woollen markets this week. On
Saturday, in both the cloth-halls, there was a good at-
tendance of merchants, considerable activity, and in
witneys, beevers, pilots, and other goods adapted for
the winter trade, there was a good business done ;
but on Tuesday both the coloured and the white cloth
market was very dull and flat, and the quantity of
cloth that was cleated out of the halls was within a very
limited compass. Prices remain without alteration.
There has not been many buyers in the town during this
week, and the trade has been rather quieter in the ware-
houses, but still a fair seasonable business is doing.
HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 24.—The market to-day was the
worst of a rather long series, which it is feared will yet
be progressional. Wool being on the advance tends to
darken the prospect, and for the • present produces an
extra dullness. The mills and factories, however, are,
as yet, generally employed, and for the most part work-
ing the usual time.
ROCHDALE, Oct. 23.—We have had a steady demand
for flannels, at prices much the same as those that have
been given for these last few weeks. In wool the prices
are firm, and the demand moderate.
HALIFAX, Oct. 21.—Therc are no signs of imprive-
ment in the piece trade here, and in the yarn department
business continues very unsatisfactory, though of mode-
rate amount. In the long wool market the trade has
been very still this week, and as regards " midland
counties" descriptions prices are rather adverse to
sellers. The bright haired Lincoln and Yorkshire
kinds are less affected either in demand or price than the
former. Short wools show less active business at rather
worse prices.
