STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 7.—Since Friday last there has
been a slightly improved feeling in our market, espe-
cially as regards yarn, in which a considerable busi-
ness .has been done, though without any sensible im-
prOvement in prices. For some descriptions of goods,
too, especially good shirtings suitable for the eastern mtv
frets, there has been a more active inquiry, and a fair
amount of business has been done at the lowest rates
previously current. For nearly all other kinds of cloth,
however, the demand is very limited ; and we regot to
learn that a large proportion of the handloem waiver:
in the hundred of Blackburn are out of employment, an,,
that additional looms are stopping daily.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1846.

Various private Bill; were forwarded a stage.
In the course of a conversation on the subject of
Indian corn, which arose out of a question put by Mr.
MCARTHY as to the regulations under which Indian
corn was to be distributed to the people of Ireland,

- -
sir R. PEEL stated that it had been found already
that persons who had been subsisting upon that article
were able tc do their work better, and to work for a
longer time, than they had been while subsisting on
potatoes; that the people found Indian corn both
palatable and nutritious, and that all prejudices against
its use were fast disappearing. The Right Hon. Baronet
also said that foreign wheat was much required in Eng-
land for the purpose of mixing with English wheat.
