SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
A military force is being collected at Cadiz to be
sent to Cuba. The works of the two railways
which go to Barcelona are rapidly advancing. On
the Northern one, the section of Granollers will be
completed in a few days ; arid on the Eastern line,
the section to Martorell will, it is expecired, be
opened in the course of the summer. A letter says
—" Pressing despatches from the Marquis de
Viluma, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, have been
received during the last few days, to apply with
great solicitude on the part of the Emperor and
Empress of the French for news of the health of
Queen Maria Christina. The Court has been much
pleased with this attention. The Government has
received from several governors of provinces, and
especially from those of Cadiz, Guadalajara, Palen-
cia, and Segovia, official notifications, that volun-
tary subscriptions have already been made to the
amount of the taxes of the respective provinces,
for the advance demanded by the Government.
There is every reason to believe that the country
will, more readily than had been expected, make
the loan." The 25th being Ascension-day the
Stock Exchange was not open.
The Queen had notified her intention of leaving,
for La Grinja at the end of June. Queen Chris-
tina had been able to leave her bed. Some new
financial measures were to be submitted to the
Queen by the Ministers.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1854.

The rapid progress of public business and the
numerous measures that have been already with-
drawn, naturally lead to the inference that Parlia-
ment will be prorogued before the end of next
month. Six months at least must then elapse before
the independent Members of Parliament can press
upon Ministers the necessity or even the expe-
diency of a revision of the Bank Charter Act of
1844. That unjust and impolitic enactment may
be productive of the most calamitous results before
an effort can be made to obtain relief from its
stringent provisions. We have already known
by sad experience how severe must be the
suffering—how urgent the pressure before auy
relaxation will be sanctioned by Govern-
ment. Mercantile firms of unquestioned
solvency, that have withstood many storms,
and have only achieved their present high
position by a long-continued course of up-
right and honourable conduct, may be pro-
strated, the trade and commerce of the country
may be paralysed, and the nation itself brought
to the verge of bankruptcy before the Bank of
England will again be permitted to violate the
provisions of the monetary code. The delay would
probably be greater than in 1847, inasmuch as
the relations between the Government and the
Bank are not quite as amicable as they were at
that time, and the rapid approach of the period when
the Charter must again be brought under Legislative
consideration would impose additional difficulties in
the Way of temporary relief. Nor is it a politic
nor a constitutional course to allow Ministers
frequently to sanction a violation of the law on
the promise of obtaining a Parliamentary indern-
nits% If, then,
there is a prospect, however re-
mote, of the suppression of the provisions of the
Act of 1844, it is exceedingly desirable that the
matter should at once be considered by the guar-
dians of the public purse, and judicious modifica-
tions made in the obnoxious law.
The most strenuous and decided bullionist the
most unflinching advocate for the convertibility of
the Bank note cannot assert that the Act of 1844
with a state of war, and the conse-
is compatible
quent drain of the precious metals. If we are
to make extraordinary exertions to meet all
that war—if we are to
the expenses of
im-
pose no additional burden on posterity, we
should not be called upon to undertake the
arduous task while fettered and encumbered by
stringent currency regulations. Nothing so un-
reasonable has ever been required since the Egyp-
tian "Autocrat" demanded the full tale of bricks
from the children of Israel, although withholding
the raw material—the straw, of which they were
composed. Our " taskmasters," too, "haste"
us. They tell us to fulfil our works, our daily
tasks, as when there was an abundant supply of
the " life-blood of industry"--,when there were
not merely the smaller denominations of notes, for
11., 11. 10s., 21., and 31., in circulation, but ,
when bullion could not be demanded in
exchange. If, with less population and in-
ferior resources„ tho nation raised between 'seventy

A military force is being collected at Cadiz to be

THE RUSSIANS IN THE DOBRUDSCHA.

A letter from Constantinople of the 21st, in the
Constitutionnel, gives some account of the position
of the Russian army in the Dobrudscha :--
"The position of the Russians is anything but bril-
liant. They entered the Dobrudscha on the 24th
March, and although two months have since elapsed they
have not been able to advance a step. Although orders
from St. Petersburg reached the Principalities on the
15th inst., directing the Commander-in-Chief to obtain
possession of Silistria at any price, that place still holds
out and does not appear to be on the point of yielding.
If, however, it does fall, the situation of the Russian
army would not be much improved, for, during the
continuarre of the 1-iege, the French and English
troup3 had tune to assemble, and it is nut in
presence of these forces, composed of the flower of
the soldiers of Europe, supported by a line of for.

SCURVY IN THE BALTIC FLEET.
TO TUE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
Sir,—ln a letter from the Baltic a suspected case of
scurvy is mentioned and the scarcity of vegetables
named. Your paper is known to advocate all matters
favourable to our navy ; I therefore trespass upon your
valuable time, and wish, through your medium, to call
the attention of Government to the vegetable fruit rhu-
barb, which keeps well for weeks, is an invaluable medi-
cine, and anti-scorbutic. It is in great profusion at this
season, and easily packed (stowed) away.

THE MILITIA.
Yesterday the Essex Rifle Regiment of Militia were
marched from the Tower under the command of their
colonel, Lord Jocelyn, to Hyde-park, where the men
went through a number of field evolutions, in the pre-
sence of several distinguished military officers, who
were pleased to express their satisfaction at the precision
and soldier-like way in which the men accomplished
several most intricate manoeuvres. While the men were
on the ground, her Majesty, accompanied by some of
the Royal children, drove through the panic, and the
regiment, forming line, saluted the Queen. It is under-
stood that the regiment will be reviewed by Lord Har.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, May 30.—There are varying accounts
given of this day's market by different parties ; some
stating that prices are generally somewhat steadier,
others that they are still inclining downward. We con-
sider that the business effected to-day has been at
the lowest prices of last week in most descriptions of
yarns and goods, and that, in this way, operations of fair
amount in the aggregate have taken place. The
market is not worse than it was, but it is no bet-
ter. The most trifling difference in price sends
away buyers, who continue to act with the greatest
caution. India letters by way of Trieste are received,
and they report favourably of the Calcutta market.
This has led to some renewal of the inquiry for suit-
able yarns and the lighter sorts of shirtings arid j icco
nets, the prices of which continue steady. Little atten-
tion is paid on our exchange to the report of an increase
of sales at Liverpool yesterday. There was no life on
the other side, according to the last accounts.
HALIFAX, May 27.—We have again had a slack mar-
ket in our piece hall, and few goods of any description
have changed hands. In yarns and wools the transac-
tions are far from extensive, without any noticeable
variation on the quotations.
ROCHDALE, May 29.—We have not had much change
in the flannel market to-day. There is a better feeling
amongst the buyers, and a greater disposition to pur-
chase, but prices are much the same as those of last
week. The wool market remains quite as inactive as it
has been for some weeks past, and prices have under-
gone little or no change.
HUDDERSFIELD, May 30.—The market is still flat,
but a slight improvement on last week has been ex-
perienced. The manufacturers are disposing of very
few goods in the market ; and the quantity making to
order is very limited compared with what is usual at this
season, when orders for heavier goods are generally
looked out by the export houses. There has been a
slight improvement in the wool warehouses, but no sales
of large amount effected. Manufacturers and merchants
seem to be acting very cautiously.

THE STEAM-,SHIP CANDIA.

SOUTHt.MPTON, Wednesday, May 31.—The Candia,
a beautiful new clipper steam-ship, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
went out on a trial trip this morning, with a few scien-
tific gentlemen on board, including Captain Thornton,
R.N., a director, and Mr. A. Lamb, the engineer in
chief of the company, Messrs. Taplin and Waterman,
Government surveyors, &c. The Candia is the hand-
somest screw steam-ship, as far as regards her external
appearance, that has yet been produced among the
very numerous fleet of splendid slips possessed by this
company. She is about 2,200 tons burden, with geared
trunk engines of 450-horse power, by Messrs. G. Rennie
:,n 1.C0., the ship being constructed by Messrs. C. J. Mare
and Co., Black wall. Her diinensi.ns are as follows :
Length, 2SI ft. ; breadth, 33 9-10 ft. ; depth, 26 2-10 ft.
The cylinders have a four-feet stroke, with an effective
diameter of 71 in. The screw is 151 feet diameter, with
a 20-foot pitch. It is impeesible to speak too highly of
the admirable workmanship and engineering skill dis-
p•ayed in the engine department, or of the general excel-
lence of the cabin arrangements, which latter are on such
a scale of elegance, combined with comfort, as to leave
nothing to be desired. 'The fittings for the convenience
of the passengers prove, in fact, that perfection in this
respect has almost been attained, as it is difficult to be-
lieve that in a first-rate hotel superior accommodation or
comfort could be supplied. The speed made at the
measured mile in Stoke's Bay to-day was as follows :

showing au average of 12.65 knots, equal to 1445 sta-
tute miles per hour. Beyond a slight disarrangement,
owing to a heated bearing (usual in newly-finished
engines), the macbiu,ry worked in the moss satisfactory
manner, and the boilers, which are on the flue principle,
patented by Messrs. Lamb and Summers, gave an excel-
lent supply of steam. The Candia, under the command
of Captain Field, is immediately to take her place on
the Southampton, Malta, and Alexandria line, and will,
without doubt, do great credit in her subsequent per-
formances to the successful and energetic public company
to which she belongs.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)
Their lordships met at five o'clock.
Lord BROUGIiA.M presented a petition from the
Trade Guardian Society, of Glasgow, in favour of the
Scotch Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill, with one or two
exceptions, which he said were now under consideration.

PARLIAMENTARY OATHS.
Lord CAMPBELL inquired of Lord Lyndhurst whe-
ther, as the Oaths bill in the other house had been re-
jected, it was his intention to re-introduce his bill of
last session for altering the oaths taken by members
of both houses of Parliament, or some other measure
on the same subject ? He was quite sure the
noble and learned lord would agree him that legislation
was indispensable in order that Jews might enjoy the
same rights and privileges as their other fellow subjects.
Lord LYNDHURST said he would re-introduce this
bill if he had any hopes whatever of carrying it through
this house, but unless he had a full assurance to that
effect, he would certainly not bring it forward. He was
quite satisfied that it would be impossible for him to pass
through the house this session a measure referring ex-
clusively to Jews, but he agreed with an expression re-
ported to have been used in the other house, that be-
yond all doubt the time would come when Jews would
be admitted into Parliament.

TRANSPORT SHIPS FOR THE TROOPS.
In reply to the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the correspondence
published in the newspapers between General Brown and
Marshal St. Arnaud, in which the former thanked the
latter for the assistance he had rendered in the disem-
barkation of British troops was quite authentic,
but he repeated his former assertion that those troops
were provided most amply with means of transport
so far as the sea was concerned. As the transport
ships were not men-of-war but belonged to private com-
panies; they ware not supplied with flat bottomed boats
which were necessary for the landing of troops, though
they had a sufficient number of other boats, and there-
fore the English General applied for and obtained the
use of the boats of that construction which belonged
to the French navy.
The Consolidated Fund (8,000,0001. No. 2) Bill was
read a second time.
The Bills of Exchange Bill was read a third time.
The reports of the amendments in the Railway and
Canal Traffic Regulation Bill was, after some discussion,
agreed to.

lord, civilian lord, and the first secretary, are members
of Parliament, Admiral Berkeley resuming his old posi-
tion as under Sir F. Baring, and Captain Milne con-
tinuing the junior naval lord.

Captair► Richards' seniority is 1828, only 26 from the
top of the list.

He was Sir William Parker's flag captain in the Corn-
wallis, 72, at China ; and then of the Hibernia, 120, and
Queen, 116, i. the Mediterranean ; whence he was ap-
pointed captain superintendent at Pembroke dockyard,
and was removed May 5, 1849, to Chatham dockyard.
Thus it will be seen that this officer has been in con-
tinuous employment for a great number of years.
