IRONMASTERS' QbARTERLY MEETING. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening. The second meeting of the ironmasters for the current quarter was held in the Town-hall here this afternoon. In ail respects the assembly was a great improvement on that at Wolverhampton ; the attendance was not much below what it usually is, and the trade in all the iron-producing districts was well represented, as were also most of the principal London and Liverpool firms who are interested. From the commencement to the close quietude was the order of the day, and no attempt was made to stir up the semblance of anything else. There was, however, a fair amount of business done, and, so far as reports may be relied on, the conclusion arrived at is that a larger quantity of finished iron was sold than there was three months ago ; this was chiefly on account of home consumers, those engaged in the export trade manifesting little disposition to operate. The orders now given out will not be nearly suffi cient to put the mills and forges in full work, but they will keep them steadily going at least as much time as for many mouths past. The principal de mand of late has been for bars and angle iron ; as to plate comparatively little is being done in this district ; for sheets and rods some few orders were given at this meeting. With respect to the American trade, North Staf fordshire has now the better portion of that which comes into this quarter, but the demand on account of that market is moderate, which is to be accounted for from the circumstance of gold having been quoted in New York of late as high as 146, the quotation in the papers to-day showing an improve ment to 1441. There was a larger business done to-day in pig iron than had been anticipated. We quote the prices of best hot-blast, all mine, South Staffordshire, at £3 ss. to £3 Bs. 9i. per ton. One or two of the pigmasters spoke of £3 10s., but the latter is quite an outside price, and was not, in all probability, obtained in any instance. In reference to the other quotations given, the actual prices at which trans actions took place would depend on the conditions of sale. There are men in the pig trade to whom it is not only of great importance to place 2,000 or 3,000 tons, but also to have cash immediately on delivery. In a case of that kind the buyer would likely obtain an advantage of 2s. 6d. a ton. The Shrnpshire men in the hail to-day reported the trade in that locality steady. There was the usual business in Lilleshall and other pigs, the make of that district. and No. 23,504. 41,1, THE YEAR ROUND. £ On THURSDAY, Dec. 12, will be published THE EXTRA DOUBLE NUMBER FOR CHRISTMAS, Written entir,ly BY CIIARLES DICKENS AND WILKIE COLLINS.

RIIPTETRRS.-BY ROYAL LKTTERS PATENT WHITE'S Moe-MAIN LEVER TRUSS (PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT EXHIBITIONS of 1851 and 1862), is allowed by upwards of fwo Hundred Helical Gentlemen to be the most effective invention in the curative treatment of HERNIA.

SHEFFIELD SAW GRINDERS AND RATTENING.—On Tuesday a meeting of saw and jobbing grinders was hold at Sheffield, for the purpose of adopting the rules for in corporating the two branches of the trade into one union. The most noticeable rule relates to rattening, and reads as follows :—" That the Society of Saw and Jobbing Grinders recommend that any member found guilty of rattening or committing any outrage of any description shall be ftt once expelled from the society," The Mysterious Shooting &Ise in Kerry. The Tralee magistrates havo fully committed for trial John Griffin, who is charged with the murder of his wife. The evidence of a bead constable named Walker was to the effect that he went to the louse in which thu affair took place on the morning of its occurrence, and in the kitchen he saw John Griffin, his two daughters, and the deceased, Bridget Gri. - ffin ; the deceased was lying on her right side i►i her full length on the kitchen floor, a pool of blood under her head and a small quantity uncle.- her feet. Her right hand was open and her left hand shut; John Griffin was sitting on a side-table in the kitchen, and his two daughters were standing at the foot of the centre table ; asked him how the occurrence happened. lie replied the woman shot herself. Thinks he had some share of drink taken at the time. Found this (pistol produced) on the centre table. It was without a ramrod and had an exploded cap on the nipple. Asked John Griffin where his wife was when she'shot herself. He said she was sitting down at the Opposite side of the table, and he was sitting directly opposite her. The table was about two feet wide. He said the pistol was lying on the table, that she took it up in her hand, and commenced playing or fiddling with it ; he told her to put it down, and not to be playing or fiddling with it, and that she did put it down ; that she asked him then how it went off. It was then at half-cock. That he then took it up in his hand and put it to full cock, and put it on the table ; she took it up in her hand again, and that sud denly it. went off and she fell down. Witness re marked that if she fell down she must have fallen on her left side, and not her right, as she then was. Dr. Lawler and Mr. Maguire came in afterwards. He made a statement to Mr. Maguire, in which he described his showing her how to use the pistol, and said that then she walked with it in her hand about the kitchen, and firing the pistol fell. In this respect the second statement differed from Griffin's first. It appeared that the prisoner was a pen sioner in the 7th Hussars, and bore au excellent character.—lrish Times. Mr. Grenfell, M.P., on the late Session. The Liberal member for Stoke-on-Trent, Mr. H. R. Grenfell, addressed some 800 of his constituents in the large hall of the Mechanics' Institution, Hanley, on Tuesday evening, on the " results of the late session." The Mayor of Hanley (Mr. W. S. Roden) presided, and briefly introduced the hon. gentleman. Mr. GRENFELL said he had never come down to speak to them with greater diffidence than on that occasion, and for several reasons. He had been ac customed to come among them as a member of the great and triumphant Liberal party, and, as he had always believed, as the representative of, at all events, a very considerable majority of the electors and non-electors of that borough. He now came before them as a humble member of a party that certainly was not triumphant within the walls of Parliament, and as the representative of what his colleague (Mr. Hope) had stated to be a respectable minority of the electors and non-electors of Stoke. (A laugh.) He need hardly say that that assertion was made in Parliament in his absence, otherwise he would most certainly have contradicted it, be lieving, notwithstanding that Mr. Hope was placed at the last election at the head of the poll, that there could be no doubt that the majority of the electors and non-electors of that borough were, and always had been, Liberals to the back-bone. There was something very confusing in the present state of political affairs. Not only had the Conservative member for a Liberal borough confidently stated that he represented the majority of the constituency, but a Conservative Government, supported by al most the whole of the Conservative party, had passed what they themselves a few short months ago would have termed a Democratic Reform Bill, and stigmatised as leading to unheard-of dangers. The whole of the Conservative party had expressed their want of confidence in the working classes, and their determination never to allow the power of administration to be handed over to mere numbers as they called it ; yet be now had to join in the triumph of that party in having car ried a measure for the extension of the suffrage far larger than had ever before been brought seriously before Parliament. In reviewing the past session it was right to remember, that besides the Reform Bill there had been several Acts passed having re ference to the interests of the working classes, and which, although not occupying so much public at tention as the Reform Bill, yet, he thought, would be admitted in future times to have had a consider able influence in promoting the well-being and pros perity of these classes. Among these were the Masters and Servants Act, the Act on the subject of agricultural gangs, and the extension of the Fac tory Acts. With regard to the Reform Bill he need hardly say that for himself it was not entirely satis factory. They knew he was willing to go a great deal further both in reference to the redistribution of seats and vote by ballot. (Hear.) But they would be very much mistaken indeed if they thought, as perhaps they did, that no progress had been made in these two questions. He believed, even among the Conservative party, there was hardly anybody who held to the existence of those small agricultural boroughs about the value of which they used at one time to talk so glibly, and that hardly any Tory agent possessed of any close bor• ough would give a fig for its retention. The neces sities of office, and of dealing with the question as it was, without reference to any professional ideas, hadinduced many of them to be ready for any change in that respect—any attempt to make such a redistribution as would fully meet the wishes of the Liberal party. As to the ballot, he had himself had conversations with some of the most high-dried Conservatives, and they no longer talked of the ballot as an un-English institution, or attributed all the evils of American government to the ballot as they used to do. If in the ensuing session any at tempts be made to still further modify the Reform Bill, he thought it quite possible, if the present Go vernment were left in office, they might be lured on to "fresh fields and pastures new," or be induced to make reform thoroughly and entirely satisfactory to the Liberal party. (Applause.) Referring to the state of parties in the House of Commons in the past session, they had Mr. Gladstone, who was the trusted leader of the Liberal party and of the majority of the house—a position he had won not only by his extraordinary oratorical powers, but by the more practical result of seven year's ad ministration of our finances, of which they could only say that every year was better than the year before—they saw him with all these claims upon the support and affection of the great Liberal party, entirely unable to command their affection and sup port during the past session, even upon questions which they were accustomed to think he had made his own ; while on the other hand, they saw Mr. Disraeli, of whom he would speak with all respect, but who could not compete in honesty and political virtue with Mr. Gladstone—(applause)—who was mistrusted by his own party--to the astonishment of everybody, lead the House of Commons in almost any road he chose to direct them. This was a most extraordinary state of affairs, and various reasons and explanations had been given to account for it. Ile (Mr. Grenfell) thought if Mr. Gladstone had adhered to the course decided upon by the Liberal party, and which was not to reject the Government bill, but to get from them a really good, sound, and liberal measure, there would have been no recalci trant members of the Liberal party. They would have made any sacrifice in his support, would have been ready to go to their constituencies, and to suffer defeat with him, because the whole party were unanimous and determined to pass a reform measure containing a considerable increase of tl suffrage. It was evident to all that the people of England PRIUF 4d. STAMPED sd. were sick of seeing the question trifled with. Almost every elector, almost every reforming member of Parliament, almost every member of the Liberal party, felt that it was a crying shame that this question should be played with so long. Deeply as he regretted that there should be any difference be tween the Liberal party and its illustrious leader, so far from its being a dishonest part that they played in the last session—as had been charged against them—it was the honest expression of their determination that this question should be trifled with no longer. For the first six weeks of the session nothing could exceed the coolness and calm ness and patience with which Mr. Gladstone carried out the views of his party, but he had to deal with a wary antagonist, who won a victory not so much over his opponents as over his own party, which was utterly unexpected. When Mr. Disraeli brought in his bill, and three members of the Ca binet seceded, everybody thought he would be left in the lurch, but he fi!led up their places, and to the astonishment of all be seemed to have the sup port of nearly all hi s party. That was a surprise to the Liberal party. He was not going so far as to say that that was the reason of the change in Mr, Gladstone's tactics, but the coolness and calmness which, up to that time, he had shown seemed to leave him, and from that moment he seemed deter mined to depart from the line of policy which he bad marked out, and in which he had obtained the unanimous support of the Liberal party. That party were determined to lick the bill into shape, and Mr. Gladstone said it could not be licked into shape. Mr. Grenfell did not believe the divergence between Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal partyaVas more than temporary,. and remarked that there were other leaders in the Liberal party who took a far more im portant part in committee than Mr. Gladstone— such as Mr. W. E. Forster, Mr. Hatton, who was always ready to lure the Conservatives on to their destruction ; Mr. John Bright—(cheers) —who was better known for his passionate outpourings of elo quence, but who, on this occasion, condescended to the humbler use of his debating powers, and dis played the most extraordinary gifts, alternating the bitterest irony with the liveliest wit ; and there was the pitiless logic of John Stuart Mill. (Applause.) All these men came well to the front, and did their part, as he hoped they would always do, in making the measure as acceptable as possible to th e Lib era l party at large. It must not be thought that the question of reform was entirely closed. They hoped that in the ensuing, or at all events in an early session, it would be again before the house, when, no longer having to contend with the extreme pre judices of the Conservative party, they would, if the question was properly handled, find that party as ready as in the past session to make large concessions. In this they would look for the assist ance of Mr. Gladstone, as well as in the exten sion of the platform of the Liberal party. Their platform had been a singularly narrow one ; and there were many questions of ad ministrative reform to be dealt with which were of the most vital importance, and foremost among which was that of education. (Hear.) If the pre sent denominational system of education could not be made sufficiently effective, the sooner they adopted a wide system of undenominational education, pro vided for out of the rates, the better it would be for the country. (Applause.) The people who had shown the greatest amount of force in the past few years had been those who had made the greatest pro gress in education. He referred to Prussia and the United States. If that be so, was it possible that a country so rich, so enlightened, so go-ahead as ours, should pause in the path of education ? He was not speaking of the education only of the working classes. Education was of still greater importance to the other classes, in whose education reform was needed quite as much as in that of the working classes. They had in this country magnificent institutions for the higher classes in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but they were not universities or places where persons who might show intellectua. superiority, coming from whatever class they might could find the means of developing that superiority They did not find the greatest engineers, the greatest doctors, came from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The duty they performed was simply that of sending out, perhaps, two or three men in the course of the year who became statesmen, and there might be some successful lawyers amongst those sent out trained in the universities, which further educated 15,000 persons ; but that was not what a university was meant for, and he hoped tha _ _ - - the time would come when the universities would be nurseries of science, and leave off being the nurseries of one profession, and that profession the Church. (Hear.) Referring to the war administration, Mr. Grenfell said he had had information, the accuracy of which he had no reason to doubt, that the con• fusion existing in that department was such that in any large expedition, the same difficulty - - would occur as occurred at the commencement of the Crimean war; and he believed this was the opinion of those who were ac t ua lly em- ployed in that department. He believed now, when they were only sending out a small expedition to Abyssinia—the use of which he could not under- stand—that the greatest confusion existed. There were many other subjects requiring attention, among them that of church and law reform, after Home remarks upon which Mr. Grenfell referred to some of the work of the past session not previously noticed Among these was the confederation of the North American colonies, the bill for which had been suc- cessfully carried by Mr. Adderley, who, however, had been unable to carry those reforms he so much advocated when out of office, and to compel the colonies to provide their own military expenditure, but he had been obliged to take the bill of his pre- decessor. The seals — of India had passed into the hands of two secretaries uncler the present Govern- ment, and the only change they made in the policy of their predecessors was to grant to some of the most extensive princes of India a sort of promise of a reversion of their sovereignties, which had been resisted by successive distinguished statesmen, and which, he feared, would one day place this country in a serious dilemma. Mr. Grenfell referred to the growth of the non-intervention principles of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, and the enunciation of his approval of them by Lord Stanley before he took office, and to the reversal of that adoption by his lordship since he had been Foreign Secretary, as evidenced by his course in the Spanish affair and in the Abyssinian expedition. In reference to the latter, he said he did not believ e that any expedition had ever been undertaken with greater carelessness, with greater recklessness of consequences than this expedition. If there ever was a case in which th e Opposition ought to league together to express what they thought of a most reckless disregard of human life, and of English lives, this Abyssinian expedition was that case. (Applause.) Mr. Greufell went on to speak of trades' unionism, which he said was a subject upon which no public man had a right to be silent. He believed the working classes had exactly the same right to combine that the masters had—(applause)—and he was about to speak on the subject more particularly as a political economist. There was no harm in trades' unions as long as they were confined to the _ - transaction of business with employers ; but if they went beyond that, and became organisations to force up wages, they violated the soundest laws of political economy ; and if they raised wages they would not raise the moral welfare of the working classes, but they would drive the trade out of the country. They must leave wages to be settled by the laws of supply and demand, and they would gain nothing by breaking those laws. The hon. gentleman dwelt on this subject, and referred to the late disclosures at the Sheffield and Manchester Trades' Union inquiries, and said if he were a working man he would feel it his duty to protest a gainst such a state of things existing anywhere. (Applause.) After some further remarks on this HIE CO_ILIIEftC'IAE - 67 --- us s FRANCE. -0- --___ A communication has been received by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce from the Chamber at Rouen, referring to the crisis which presses at this time on the industry of a great part of France. To this letter the Liverpool Chamber has sent a reply, from which we make the Lib-wing extracts : —" Withart a doubt the commerce and industry of Englan 1 are suffering like those of France, the suffering of the one reacting upon the other, and, to a certain extent, the same causes being com mon to bosh. These causes may be found :- 1. Iu the Arne' icon war, which for four years painfully straitened the supply of cotton, one of the most valuable of European imports, and considerably enhanced its price, thus reducing large populations dependent on its manufacture to the greatest distress. 2. In the high duties which, under the delusive ideas of protection and of inde pendence of other nations, have been imposed by the United States tariff on ►manufactured articles, the greater portion of which had been imported from Europe. On this point it may be observed that there is but little consolation in the fact that, while the tariff of the United States is highly inju rious to other countries, a far deeper injury falls upon herself. .3. In the continued disorganisation of industry in the Southern States of the American Union. 4. In the unsettled state of Europe, and the apprehension so widely entertained of the immi nence of war, an apprehension materially strength ened by the enormous military preparations everywhere made, notwithstanding the pacific as surances of governments. The apprehension of war is fraught with evil only second to that of its actual existence. Much of the capital which should be employed in ordinary and re-productive industry is diverted into unusual and exhaustive channels. The labour which not only supported itself, but has added to accumulated wealth, is withdrawn from its normal occupation to be supported by the com munity at large. Europe is at this moment main taining unproductive nearly 3,000,000 soldiers, at an annual cost of about £80,000,000 sterling (two thousand million francs). Their re-productive em ployment would not only save this expenditure, but would largely add to accumulated wealth. There are also causes inure or less peculiar to each country which have contributed to the commercial depres sion, and which, perhaps, can only be thoroughly understood at home. A few which have operated in the United Kingdom may be briefly enumerated : 1. Premature investments from 1862 to 1866 in rail way enterprises which do not now, and probably for many years will not, bring in any adequate revenue to the shareholders. 2. The spirit of excessive spe culation and over-trading which has prevailed in this country, especially of late years. Traders who conduct their business to a disproportionate extent on borrowed capital are, in the event of a small de preciation in prices or pressure in the money market, compelled to suspend payment ; when such suspen sions are numerous they create a feeling of distrust, which culminates in panic and disorganisation of credit. 3. A reckless investment of capital in joint stock companies of every description, many of which have proved to be utterly worthless. The Council trusts, however, that the painful experience of the past, combined with an amendment, passed during the late session of Parliament, of our Limited Liability Act, will, to a large extent, prevent the recurrence of this evil. 4. The collapse of several banks causing very widely-spread suffering and un easiness. This uneasiness was to some extent jus tified by the habit which prevailed among joint stock banks of holding insufficient reserves, and the extent to which the Bank of England employed the deposits of such banks, without taking due. note of their special character. These deposits constitute the reserve of the bankers to whom they belong, and in times of monetary pressure cannot with safety be employed by the Bank of England. 5. The causes now enumerated aggravated by two defi cient harvests, which have enhanced the price of wheat by fully 50 per cent more than the average of three previous years. The remedy for our own peculiar evils must be found in an enforced retrench ment of expenditure, which even now is fast restor ing our lost capital. Signs of improvement are already evident. Our home trade is better supported. With the return of confidence will come healthy enter prise, so needful to the vigorous life of commercial and manufacturing nations. Our recuperative power is great, not only in our own resources, but because no delusive promise of protection tempts capital into unnatural employment. Hence capital and industry are self-reliant, and waste no time in seeking for that relief in legislation which they know must spring from themselves. From the causes of corn mercial depression common to Europe at large, those exclusively of a political character have, for oLvious reasons, been omitted. As to the remedies for those enumerated, some may be safely left to time and the elastic energies of modern civilisation. Others will be found in a general reduction of armaments suf- ficient to dispel all apprehension of aggressive war. Finally, a remedy, as this Chamber believes, is to be found in the universal adoption of the principle of free trade, and this remedy will aid the operation of all others. When commerce between different countries is as free as it now is between the counties and provinces of the same country, accidental causes of depression in one will be modified by continued prosperity in others. Mutual dependence will re . suit in mutual respect, and, if need be, in mutual forbearance; and thus, nations now ambitious of the glories of war will find ample compensation in those of peace. England has set an example of entire free trade so far as her own ports are con cerned, but she can never reap the full benefit of her policy till her example is followed by other na tions. France has taken the first step in its adop tion with significant success. How soon will she advance to its complete realisation ?" Sir Cola Campbell's Masterly Retreat from Imatiow. The cares of Sir Colin Campbell, however, were not ended when he stood as a conqueror within the walls of the Residency. Lucknow was still in the hands of the rebels, who might at any time return to the attack, and the relief of the garrison could only be temporary, so long as the helpless crowd that composed so large a portion of it were still immured in the building. The place must not only be eva cuated, but the women, the children, the sick, and the wounded removed, and protected upon a perilous retreat. They must be conveyed away by easy stages, and sheltered from the fire of the maddened enemy. A retreat of this kind might be more diffi cult and dangerous than the advance itself had proved. To accomplish such a delicate movement Sir Colin Campbell opened a vigorous cannonade upon the Kaiserbagh, or King's Palace, in Luck now, so that the rebels in the city might think they were about to be attacked in earnest ; and while their attention was thus withdrawn be formed a line of posts on the left rear of his position suf ficiently strong to resist the enemy's attacks. While the rebels were thus occupied with the can nonade upon Lucknow and preparing to resist an attempt to storm the city, the ladies, their families, and the invalids were silently conveyed along the line of posts on the night of Nov. 22, and after them the garrison, the retreat being protected by judici ous arrangements of the army ; and, to close the whole, Sir Colin himself went out with the last line of infantry and guns as the body most likely to be attacked, and with which he intended to crush the enemy if they dared to follow up his piquets. These precautions were indeed necessary, as the only line of retreat lay through a long and crooked lane ; but, strange to tell, no interruption was offered ; still expecting a❑ attack on Lucknow, the rebels opened a fire upon the Residency, and continued it for hours after the place was evacuated. Like a well-organised machine, every part of this retreating army moved . according to appointment, and on the 23d the whole of the troops and their helpless convoy, comprising about 2,000 souls, reached Dilkoosha in safety.— &Wadi Biographical Dictionary.
