STATE OF TRADE.

The decided improvement which sprung up in the
market on the announcement of an intention to repeal
the corn-laws, has been entirely lost since the resigna-
tion of Sir Robert Peel's Administration became known;
and, yesterday, the gloom was somewhat increased by
two failures, one at Liverpool and one in London, which
will fall rather heavily on parties in this town. It is under-
stood that the Liverpool failure will prove of consider-
able magnitude. Notwithstanding these untoward cir-
cumstances, there is no change in prices; and, as consi-
derable purchases both of goods and yarn were made
last week, the spinners and manufacturers have been so
far relieved from stocks as to be generally disinclined to
press sales, or even to accept contracts at the existing
low prices.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 15.
—We have had a better demand fur flannels to-day, but
no change in prices. The wool market has undergone a
little variation fur the last week. The transactions aro
limited, and prices the same as on the preceding Monday.
—Manchester Guardian.

Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re,
gistered Paletot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate,
forming, as it now does, not only the sins qua non of the
railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must be ac-
knowledged as a vast improvement over the old great stoat,
associated in our remembrance with an uncomfortable sensa-
tion of tight buttonings, which, from its very clumsiness,
defeated its object, the warmth of the person, as interfering
with the proper circulation of the blood. The principal hues
are black, blue, brown, and olive; also the clerical mixtura
called Oxford, and can be had of the patentees, or only of
the most respectable clothiers out of London. Every winter
paletot is three guineas, and is stampted in the lining with
the words, " Registered 6 and 7 Vic., sap. 65. H. J. and D.
Nicoll, 114, Regent-street, London.

Rellieved.—The undermentioned sent into the country free by
post.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, and 25, South Cas-

Conductors, when fixed in the cavity of the ears, are not un-
comfortable, nor more perceptible than having a small piece ui
wool in its place. They enable individuals at an advanced age,
and of extreme deafness of 40 and 50 years' standing, instantly
to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a
distant low speaker at church, theatre, &c. They pour the
conversation into the ears to such an extent that in the most
severe cases deafness cannot be observed. Also, original
Ear Cornets, French, German, and Spanish Artificial Ears,
and Improved Hearing Trumpets of every description. Many
of those instruments have received the approbation of the
Royal Society and Royal Institution of Great Britain. The
newly-invented Spectacles, immediately they are placed before
extremely imperfect vision, it is brought to its youthful, natural,
and original state. Also, Achromatic Telescopes, Opera
Glasses, Microscopes, &c. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, Opticians, are not in any way connected with a person
-of the Caine name in their immediate neighbourhood, nor in any
part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be cautious, and

[A DTERTISEMENT.]—ASTIIMA, SnonTNEss OF
BREATH, COUGHS, AND COLDS.—A TRULY SURPRISING
CASE.—The Rev. David Williams, the resident Wesleyan
minister at Beaumaris, in the island of Anglesea, states, in a
letter, slated the 14th of January, 1845, that " He recom-
mended Holloway's Pills to a poor man of the name of Hugh
- Davies, who at the time was shyest unable to walk for want of
breath, that he had only taken them a few days when he
appeared quite another man.-,his breath was easy and natural,
and he was increasing daily in strength." These wonderful
Pills will cure any cough, cold, or asthma. Sold at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand; and by almost all
respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world.
YANKEE COURAGE.—General Green, in his history
of the Texian expedition against Mier, observes that those
Texian soldiers who had the most bloody mottoes painted on
their caps were the last to prove them true, and he does not
recollect seeing one with a " liberty or death" motto who did
not take the liberty of returning home a little too soon. It is
aptly enough remarked by the ilaTt;more American, that the
illustration here given of loud-talking bravery should be
kept in mind when we hear noisy declaimers about war,
treating it as though it would be to them a mere holiday
