STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We are informed, by
the arrival of the Cambria, that on the receipt of the
Baltic advices of the panic in Liverpool, the New
York cotton market gave way lc. to lc. per lb., at
which, however, only a few hundred bales were
sold; the holders withdrawing their samples in the
belief that the reported state of things on this
aide must have resulted merely from some mone-
tary difficulty. The total receipts at the ports,
according to the list of the 28th ultimo, were
2,164,535, exceeding those at the same period of last
year by 274,493 bales ' - but a comparison of the cor-
responding week in each year shows that there is now
a falling-off of 3,314 bales. Some most respectable
parties, however, assure their English friends that
there will soon be an increase again, and that facts are
pointing to a crop of not less than 2,400,000 bales.
The present planting is represented as very late, and
droughts are spoken of in the Atlantic states; but the
weather in the south is admitted to be improved,
and some letters speak of it as having become very
genial.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There is not the least im •
provement in the flannel market today, either in
demand or price. The attendance of buyers has been
more than usually thin, and a very limited business
has been done at previous prices. Wool is firm, with
very little doing.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—TiIe position of our
manufactured goods trade remains about on a pzr
with last week. Some idea of the unprecedentedly
depressed state of this department may be formed,
from the fact that scarcely one-fourth of our ope-
ratives are in employment. Home-thrown--No
new feature as to actual variation in price or increased
business. Stocks, however, of this article ar% said
to be much lighter, consequent on the immensely
decreased production going on for the last two
months. No quotations ; still the margin may be
said to be on the side of reduction. Foreign-thrown
--More business doing, the reduced offers lately
made having resulted in business being done. Raw
Silk—The few parcels offtered last week in Liver-
pool were taken off at an average reduction of 6i.

per lb. on rates previously current.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--In our piece-ball to-day,
there has been very little inquiry for any description
of worsted goods ; and the amount of business trans-
acted has been exceedingly limited. In the yarn
market there is no improvement, either as to demand
may be said
or price. The sameof wool, which
changes hands slowly, at about late quotations. In
the country, the growers are asking, for the new clip,
higher prices than the staplers, can realise, when it is
brought to market.
HUDDERSFIELD, TIIESDA.Y.—Although there has
been a rather more than usual attendance to-day at
a slackness our market, has prevailed, and not so
much business has been done as there was last week.
The merchants seem to buy only for immediate
orders. Mixtures and the cheaper blacks are the
kinds mostly inquired for. The manufacturers
in the Cloth Hall complain of the slackness.
The warehouses have no
with not been doing much dur-
ing the week, the exception of one or
two shipping houses. The wool trade is about the
game as last week, the recent sales not having hari
any effect on the price ; but it is expected the July
sales will, if anything, lower the price of the raw
material.

LEED), TUESDAY.—thving to the Whitsuntide
holidays the market has been quiet to-day, but on
Saturday last a very tair business was done; and
the woollen trade generally is considered rather
brisker.

THE TENANT LbAGUE.
(From the Dublin World)
Patriots will quarrel like ordinary mortals. Brutus
and Casilus had their high words ebout the treasury
department. Even the fine gold of Ulysses' wis-
dom was tainted with a slight alloy of the dross of
selfishness. The Rev. David Bell can, therefore,
hardly complain that the division of the Tenant.
League plunder should produce some trifling jea-
lousy. Ten shillings a day and car- hire, to say nohin
of comfortable little dejeunes and snug symposia
in provincial hotels, reight well excite the envy of
hungry patriots. In fact, Mr. Ball seems to have
been by no means prudent. He was tco exacting.
Not satisfied with the dinner, be was fastidiously
punctilious as to where he should eat it. He bed
spouted in Limerick ; his eloquence had hung se
perennial garland round the cottage of Bruree ; he
had starred on Kilkenny platforms ; and, of course, be'
could be no less than dictator in Ballibay. There is
an immensity of patriotism in a well got up dinner
with suitable accompaniments. Breakfasts hays
been tried successfully, and soirées have even C 01144,
off with eclat, but nothing expands the heart like a
political dinner, with iced wises, hot punch and no
bill after it. That important association " the Balli-
bay Central Tenant Right District Society," resolvede
very properly, to lay the basis of their patriotic
structure on the send foundation of a substantje.
meal. Of course, where the public pay the hotel
bills there is no niggardly taxing of costs; and the
Ballibay banquet became, therefore, an object of
stringent competition among the rival innkeepers of
that town, celebrated for the advance and defeat of
" honest Jack Lawless." Mr. Bell had his favourite
inn, and others had theirs. He was beaten in com-
mittee, but by a skilful counter-march, such as dis-
tinguishes great tacticians, he had placards printeie
in Dublin, at the League expense, of course, and.
early one morning the Tenant-righters were aston-
ished and confounded by an announcement on every
corner that Mr. Bell's protege was to have the profits,
of providing the patriotic dinner.
Of course this was not to be tolerated. What hope.
of tenant-right if the Ballibay banquet were celebrated
beyond the sacred precincts of the " Leslie arms ?"'
Tee feud gathered strength. The partizans of Gray's
hotel were the fewer but the more firm, the " Leslie'
arms" faction was the more numerous but the
worse organized. The Itev. David Bell led for thE
Grays. The Rev. Edward Goodwin, R.C.C., did
battle fir the Leslies. Tee schism went on till the
organization was shattered. The central power war
appealed to, but the attempt at reconciliation war
vain. Bell stood firm for Gray, and Goodwin war
as obstinate for Leslie. Committees were dis-
solved and reconstituted. Members were excommuni-
cated and readmitted on good 'oehaviour, till at length,
something after the fashion or Pride's purge, the Rev.
David, with three others, dissolved the committee of
thirty, and elected themselves into a plenum of four.
With full powers over the exchequer, and absolute
control of the dinner fund. The Goodwin party were
thus finally crushed, but its partizans were above the,
meanness of submission. They heroically determined
that if Tenant Right were not won in the Leslie arms,
it
.should not be won at all; and, in pursuance of this
chivalrous resolution, a very long letter from the Rev.
Ed ward Goodwin, R.C.O , appeared in the Freeman

luxuriant hotel banquets, and absurd electioneer

details of prodigal expenditure would, of course, lee
AS uninteresting to the audience as unpleasant to th
Orators. The exhausted claptrap of fallen rooftree.,
and pestilential poorhouses, of robber landlords and
exterminating tenants, furnished themes more safe
and more inspiring. Not an allusion aggravated the
defeat of the " Leslie arms." Mr. Bell was exem-
plary in his charitable forbearance towards his befflel•
rivals. But we must be a little more plain spoken.
