STATE or TRADE.—MANCHESTER, FEB. 13.—The
continued decline of cotton places our spinners and manufac-
turers in a very awkward and critical position. The market
appears to have lost all confidence for the present in the
maintenance of prices, and he,iviness and gloom are its pry-
vailing characteristics. There has scarcely been business
enough to-day to determine what rates would be acceded to,
but there can be no doubt that for any considerable order a
modification of price, equal t; 3d. per piece on cloth on the
nominal rates, or of 41d. to 641. ou the prices of Thursday
last, would be accepted. The decline on yarn is to a pro-
portionate extent.

BRIDGE HOUSE ESTATES COMMITTEE.
Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the gen-
tlemen connected with this important committee connected
with the corporation of the city of London was held at the
Guildhall. Mr. Henry Lowman Taylor presided. A large
amount of business was transacted, and one of the principal
subjects which underwent consideration was the presentin-
secure state of Blackfriars-bridge. After due deliberation,
it was determined to place " centerings" in the fifth arch
from the Middlesex shore, so that all danger might be
avoided. Other measures respecting this structure, nut yet
matured, were also considered, the result being that the com-
inittee determined on reporting on the whole case at an
early council meeting.
In the evening the committee dined together at the Al-
bion, Aldersgate-street, when Mr. Henry Lowman Taylor
presided. ly e noticed present Viscount Ebrington, M.P.

late chairman of that
committee, which was most heartily received. In the course
of other remarks, Mr. Taylor said that the pleasing duty de-
volved upon him to present to Mr. Low a vote of thanks from
the members of the committee.
Thewording of the resolution, which was inscribed most
exquisitely on vellum, richly framed and magnificently em-
blazoned by Mr. Paton, was as follows :
"That the sincere thanks of this committee are eminently
due, and are hereby presented to James Low, Esq., the chair-man for the present year, for the able, zealous, and judici-
ous manner in which he has performed the arduous duties of
the office he was unanimously called upon to fill; for his
punctual and unremitting attention to the business of the
committee, and his firmness and impartialityin presiding
over its deliberations; for his earnest endeavours to promote
the interests of the Bridge-house Estates, and for the kind
and friendly feeling uniformly evinced by him, as well during
the hours of business as upon all other occasions, whereby
he has maintained his high character in the corporation,
secured the respect and esteem of the several members of this
committee, and justly entitled himself to a continuance of
the confidence hitherto reposed in him by his fellow-citizens."
Mr. Low briefly returned thanks for the honour conferred
upon him. lie highly appreciated the elegant gift with
which they had favoured him, which he could assure them
would always be prized by him, and which should descend
as a heirloom in his family.
