STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
--The advance in theTprice' of Cotton in 'LiVerpool, con-
sequent upon the latest advicea from the United States—
amounting to fully id.—hashad its effect upon our mar-
ket here: As might be expected, as the result of this con-
tinued excitement in the Liverpool market, ours yes-
terday • was a little unsettled. There was no tack
of orders offering, but the speculative rise in cotton Bp-
pears to some extent to have arrested their acceptance
In yarns there was a little more disposition to purchase
manifested by the shippers, and prices may be said to
be from to id. per pound higher. Yarns for home
consumption were also in good demand, and highe
prices were obtained. In goods, a fair .builness.. Iva

ROCHDALE FLANAEL MARKET, MONDAY', JAN.
There has been a rather busy market to-day, yet there
have not been so many pieces sold as might • have been
expected from the numerous. attendance of buyers. The
manufacturers have stood out for an
.advance of prices,
and many have obtained a little more . for their goods,
but nothing in proportion to the advance of wool, The
demand for wool still Continues good, and prices firma

The Market exhibited a very scanty supply of English
Wheat, 'yet the demand fur that article was inactive; at
about previous rates. In Foreign Wheat a fair amount of
business was passing, and Monday's prices were supported
Making Barley sold firmly; other kinds slowly, at unvaried
figures. The Malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet.the
quotations were supported. Although the supply of 001
was extensive, that Grain was quite as dear. Beans, Peas,
and Flour as last quoted.

CAPTAIN PECHELL, R N:, M.P., ON
THE CORN-LAWS.,
(Abridged from the Brighton Guardian.)
On Saturday last Captaid•Pechell had his annual audit aril
rent dinner at the Horse and Woom Inn,. Patching .1) ond.
After the cloth had been removed, and the usual loyaltossts
were disposed of,
Captain Pechell rose and said—lt now falls to my duty.
presiding over this company, to propose to you what I con-
sider to be the toast of the evening, which is The health of the.tenauts and friends of mine 'who have done me the ho
_pour to be present on this occasion." Upon these occasions
it has always bCen my custom either to congratulate you or
to condole with you upon the result of your several under'
takings. Last year we had a thanksgiving for a bountiful
harvest; and this year it has been represented, .and by per-
sons who • really ought to know better, that- the. farmers
wool be well rewarded for their exertions by. the abundance
and excellence of their crops. . Now, residing among you, as
I do, I hate made it my business to inquire, and I caon°t
Congratulate you- upon the result of tour labours last year.
—(" Certainly not.") You are told flint your.distres-s, which
means, that you-hale not remunerating .pricess is owing to
certain causes ; and the first person who figures as haslet
stated the causes of your not having remunerating prices
the Prime Minister himself. I was preSent when he told'the
Members of the House of Commons that be acknowledir,
there was great distress in the agricultural districts, that t
distress was in part-owing to his law and in part owistg to
the abundance'of the harvest —(011.) So putting thesetWO
things together, we see that the law of Sir Hobert Peel, wq
the abundance of the harvest, have brought about the mill of
the fanner.—(Hear.) There are other parties•who have; 4'
cribed the distress to the present law and to the rents—AA'
ties whom I call the intelligent portion of the commUnitY's
-They state that with high rents and low prices they find their
capital dwindling away. These opinions have been stated
by very eminent farmers in different parts of the country'
who have declared that with declining prices and withont
protection, they and their faihilies will soon be brought t°
ruin.—(" That is right, Sir.") Another party has declared
the cause of the distress, for distress. is universally acknow.
ledged—the landlords of the country Have declared, and they
are now raising the country from one end to the other,
der to perSuade you, the tenants, that your distress is owing
to the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League. They'd°.
dare that it is to the Anti-Oorn-law League that the present,
distress in agriculture is attributable. Now it is all very wel
to say that the landlord's and the tenant's interest are ink'
parable. We have heard it said lately at all the agriculture'
meetings, that we row in the name boat, and -that—how very
affectionate—we are to sink or-swim together. But I OF"
is nothonest, it is not fair, to say this is a tenant's question'
and that you are to be brought into collision with the
.Anti-Corn-law League upon a subject with which, in Pit
opinion, you have nothing at all to do.—(Hear, hear.),
_s
law- was passed, altering the duties on the importation 0.:
in, which law was supported ire the landlords. You fin
thult with that law, you consider that you are injured by It'
pill attribute the falling-stria your receipts and in your pre);
tits to the operation of that law, and you boldly say that that
law has injured you. But the landlords tell you it is
.11°'
that law which has injured you ; . and they draw your atten:
Lion- away entirely front the subject, and . ask you to go to
• meeting to battle with the Anti-Corn-law League, when the
question which is to be proposed there has no more to do with
you than it has with the Archbishop of Canterbury, excel?'
:Nolicrsis he is a landowner.—(Hear.) • Now, that is my-. 91
lion as to'one of the causes of the present distress. There
are two antagonist principles. There arc some farmers whose
names figure in the public prints as staving attributed 11l
presentdistress to the new law ; the landlords attribute it to
the-Anti-Corn-law League. 4Now, it is very right that You
should understand what that protection means. . They 'also
call out for protection. It does certainly appear to me that
" pthtection to the tenant " is, in other words, " protection
to the. rent of the landlord."—(Hear.) Though the interest
of the tenant goes in 2. great degree along with that of the land-
lord, still it is not for you to fight the battle of the landlord
for high prices, to keep up high rents. 'You have seen that
these high prices, which have been pronta d 'to you bythe
several Acts of Parliament, have not Made your fortunes.
You cannot find a fanner in this country who has retired
from business with a fortune and a provision for his family.
Show me any other trade, a grocer or a miller, in which this
is so. In every other business, except fanning, men have
_
laid something by for their family. Here we have been sine!
the close of the war, in 1815, with the landlords always call-
ing out for protection, and still there lies been agriculture'
distress. Itlisyou ask for, or, ought to ask fur, is steady price
$'
you may know exactly, what you are about. At present
no man knows how he stands. 'Your interests have been
most deeply affected and your landlords call upon you to join
with them in calling for protection and for the annihilation
of the Anti-Corn-law League. They say that theiisestateS
are no longer saleable, that property is depreciated, and that
the stability of our institutions is affected by the machine:
Lions of the Antis Com-law League. Nay, lam not sure that
they have not attributed the blight and the smut anti the
grub of Mr. Miter's wheat to it.—(Loud laughter.) I, airs
sure I am addressing honest and intelligent men who will S'-'s
that the call which has been made upon them for protectl°;;
to the tenant clearly means " protection to the landlord an
high rents for the tenant."--"-(Cheers.)

THE STATE OF THE STREETS'
The state of the City thoroughfares, and the offer of P,.'s,
patentee of the new street sweeping-machine to cleanse on
of the six divisions, came on for discussion before the Corn'
inissioners of Sewers at Guildhall yesterday, Alderman Gisb.,us
in the chair. The question stood adjourned from the '-
instant, in order to allow Mr., Gore, the contractor, an 0.;
portunity of coining to terms with the patentee. The pr9rl
tion made by Mr. Whitworth, the inventor, was to releas6
,
Mr.-Gore from the payment of 800/. for the hire of machine'
(which the latter had entirely thrown out of use). and fOrf
that amount. to take on himself the south-western district.%
the' City, including Ludgate-hill and Fleet-street, for the
purpose of showing what might be done with the machiwhen f
when properly worked. Thus the matter stood the
parties were called before the Court yesterday. Mr. ur
was attended by his legal advisersand in *answer to t
Chairman, said that he had considered the matter, And
prepared to carryout his original tender, to cleanse the ere";
by manual labour for I,2ooeless than the sum he was
receiving under the tender which obliged him-to employ tee
machines. The Chairman called Mr. Gore's attention to tie
offer of Mr. Whitworth, and suggested that lsy ga‘ving
south-west district to that gentleman lie would get rid or
oni-
•frfth of his duty without suffering any pecuniary 1060.
Gore expreseed his unwillingness to relinquish any portion,
the contract. If the Commissioners approved of it, he 11°A

no objection to work the machines himself in the south-iv.,,e6
diStrict,-cliansing the other part of the City by manual 1811°1'; ;
R Mr. R. L. Jones remarked on the absurdily
of Mr. Our'," desiring to revert. to his original contract to cleanse the
City for 3,400/1 when. the Commissioners were willing t°
pay' the full amount of 4,6001., if' he would allow the pa
tentee to Work the machines in the south-west
Mr. Gore repeated his determination not to allow the pr
tentee to cleanse the district in question. His reputation
as a contractor would suffer by doing so, and rather than
give up any portion he would work the whole at a sitcrol
flee. Mr. Prior thought, as Mr. Gore had refused
reasonable a proposition, the Cotmuissioners ought to P_';
an end to his contract. He had no doubt of thL-8
power to do so. on giving seven days' notice. 1,-11,
should be glad to know the opinion of theii solicitor on !„,
point. The" question was one of the highest importance z., s
called for prompt interference. A messenger was then ob
patched for Mr. Tyrrell, but that gentleman being from home!
Deputy Pewtress moved that the opinion of the solicito:i
district.
as to the terms of Mr. Gore's agreement should lie taken 61.1,,
reported next. Tuesday, preparatory to rescinding the eup.s.
tract, in the event (,f that gentleman persisting in his preset;
determination. At the close of the proceedings the pacel,,irect
remarked, that as the character of his machines had
front the mannerin which they had been worked in the c!rr,
y
he was most anxious that their capabilities should be fts
tested. Several members of the Court Observed, that tsis
e
had come to a determination to have the City better cleanseui
and if Mr. Gore persiSted in his refusal to allow the propo7",,
experiment by the patentee, the Commissioners would clean
c,,-
the streets themselves, and debit Mr. Gore with the cwt.
The Court, after'some other unimportant business, broke br;
It should bementioned that Mr. Gore was accompallienus:,-,
several themedntraetors, and the most perfect understa a.
appeared to exist between them.
