STATE OF TRADE.-MANCHESTER, THURSDAY,
FEB. 27.—The advance in yarns and cloths obtained on
Tuesday was firmly maintained this morning, and there was
a disposition on the part of both spinners and manufacturers
to demand still higher rates. Purchasers, however, did not
appear in such force, and there was a heavy market. The
business effected was generally at Tuesday's rates. The tele-
graphic announcements from the morning papers of the diffi-
culties encountered in all the combinations of parties yet at-
tempted in the formation of a Government exercised a dis-
turbing influence, and was apparently one cause of checking
operations, The export trade has been of a rather more
general character, including some purchases on account of
Italy and Germany, as well as for the East. The print trade
continues dull, though there is a good variety of new styles,
and prices have been rather favourable.

FOREIGNERS IN LONDON.—Communications have
been addressed by direction of the Royal Commissioners
from the Palace at Westminster to the several Government
establishments, respecting the admission of foreigners to
those places, without the payment of any fee, on producing

in London belonging to the several Continental and other
Courts.

We understand that on the meeting of the House
of Commons on Friday Mr. Cobden will give make that he
will submit a resolution expressive of the determination of
the House to refuse its support to any Administration that is
not prepared faithfully to adhere to the free-trade policy
adopted in the year 1846. Such a motion will have the
effect of discovering the intended policy of Lord Stanley's
Government, should such a Government be formed.—Times.
