The Span5sl, settlement.

The press dispatches from Havana announo-
ing the departure of the Virginius from that
port towed by the Spanish man-of: war Isabella
de Catolica, requires official confirmation, but
are probably correct. There is no reason to
doubt, however, even if the announcement be
confirmed, that the agreement between Spain
and the u S. regarding the surrender will be
retarded or interierred with. 1t; is not im-
probable that the first step toward ful6ilmept
Of the agreement may occur on Tuesday OF
next week. Tits step will simply be the de-
livery of the Virginius to the CanandHgua,
Captain Lowry commanding, IN the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba. The instructions to Ad-
miral Scott, commanding the feet now anchor
ed at Key West are sufficiently explicit re-
gardng this poiut to prevent the possibility OF
| mistake.
The Government has received renewed as

than was to be expected.

A letter from Washington in the Baltimore
American says: 1.-The affairs OF the Freedmen 5
Bureau have been so fully ventilated that the
mass of evidence submitted to the House to-
day does little more than confirm the statements
previously published. The only really new fea-
ture is The statement that Gen. Howard is un
able to produce the missing vouchers, and eau
not say what became of tbem and the fact that
he has offered no satisfactory defence since the
charges were first made, a year or more ago, is
regarded as very damaging. The amount OF
money missing is $2,S,OOO. 1t Is regarded as
certain that General Howard will be casblered
if his case goes before court-martlal, aud he
declares that he cannot get lair trial before
such tribunal, owing to the prejudice against
volunteer officers in the regular service

From the condition of slmost unexampled de-
preston existing few weeks ago, and stated in
our report, the morocco trade in this city has
advanced to extraordinary activity. NHmbers Of
buyers have bsen in the market, from all quar-
ters, and especially from the Eastern States, in
which locality during tho Panic, and for aome
time previously, the purchasing demand had
been very light. Manufactured goods Of all quail
tiles have been in demand, and even odd lots, not
usually very salable, have bsen disposed Of
The reduction in manufacture. during the
dull time, was very great 1t is estimsted that
tho weekly product, in this city and Philadel-
phiA fell off from. 500 to 3 600 dozens, and the
natural consequence is that the stock on hand
became very light The prospect now is that
the operation OF manufacturers in this city will
be completely resumed at the highest measure
OF production, and that as soon as the compile
tion of the tanning processes enable men to go
to work, as many hands will be employed in our
morocco factories as ever have been.
Prices OF goods are stiff. but no quotable ad-
vance has taken place Figures may be stated
tho same as in our report. some weeks ago.
Manufacturers say that they arc too low to AZ
ford any reasonable margin of profit, having
been so for the greater part OF tho last two
years,
