CuAmnr.p. OF CommEßcE.-011 Tuesday, the se:-.ond
annual meotinl, of the above Chamber was 11241 W.
the Town Htll. The president (Alderman .10
G :rratt) occupied the chair; and there were present
Mr. J. R. Tilley, Mr, W.E. Walker, Mr. John Finch
Mr. G. Green, Mr. Murphy, Dr. Eagleton, Mr. .1.
Green, and Mr. W. Jeffries. The Secretary (Mr.
W Madel,q) read the fourth half-yearly report,
which con ratulated the'naemt,ers on the successful
completion of the recond yoar's work. Th.,: list of
subbcribers now reached seventy, and there was a
balance of £53 19s 10d. in bad, with arrears of
subscriptions of £7 7s. Two vacancies had occurred
and Mr. 11. Bridgwater and Mr. E. S. Haines were
appointed on the council. 'IIC -ballot showed that
Mr. Gamitt, Mr. Manby, Mr. G. K. Harrison, Mr.
J. Green, Mr W. Jeffties, Mr. J. R. Tilley, Mr. W.
Wilkinson, and Mr. E. T. Terry were re-elected as
members of the council. The local trade had
severely suffered during the last half-year through
the general depression and the colliers' strike which
lasted nearly four months, and by necessitating the
importation of coal occasioned great loss to the men
and loss and inconvenience to the masters. The
report then reviewed the work of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce at WolverhomPton last
autmun, and the work done by the Chamber in the
matter of railway rates, The Pre4ident, in present-
ing the report, said one of the most important
items in it was the visit of Mr. Collett, the inspector;
and next year it was probable that some of the con-
tracts would come into that district. The other
feature_was the matter of railway rates, which bore
very heavily on that district, handicapping its
manufacturers in the most unfair manner in their
competition with the rest of their countrymen.
Yet in spite of these unfair rates, five of the
greatest railway companies were seeking to increase
their rates and to legalise their present illegal
rates. He (the speaker) had heard, too, that Mr.
Chamberlain had promised his support to the bills.
He trusted that this was not true, and he only
mentioned it as a rumour, becau4e it was a battle
of the strong against the weak, and from what he
had heard of Mr. Chamberlain he believed him to
be more willing to help the weak than the strong.
(Hear, hear.) No man knew more about the wants
of the district than Mr. Chamberlain, and he
sincerely trusted the rumour was not true.—Dr.
Eagleton, in moving the adiption of the report,
said he could scarcely believe such a rumour, be-
cause Mr. Chamberlain was known to be a far-see-
ing man, and to increase railway rates was a near-
sighted policy.—Mr. H. Box seconded the adoption
of the report, and complained of inequalities of
rates on the shipment of iron abroad, and asserted
that the foreigners were given advantages in English
shipping from which Englishmen were debarred.
Belgian iron was delivered in India at about the
same rate as that kind of material was conveyed
from Dudley to London. Mr. Manby asked if Mr,
Box could tell the conveyance to the coast in
Belgium.—Mr. Box said the Government railways
carried it free.—The report was thenadopted unani-
mously.—A conversation as to the unfair and
illogical terms of the different railway companies
followed, and Mr. G. Green said th , question had
been submitted to the Associated Ch ttnb irs and to
the rdilwa.y companies themselves —Tee Chairmaa
said the different Chambers throughout the c ientry
were moving in the matter of railway freights.—
Votes of thanks to the chairman and secretary
concluded the meeting,
DEATH FROM Berors.--.- On Tuesday afternoon
Mr. E. Percy Jobson, coroner, held an inquest, at
the Guest Hospital, on the body of Ann Simms
(69), the wife of a collier at Constitution Hill,—
The woman was left alone in the house for ash
time, and her neighbours, hearing screams, forced
their way in. The woman was enveloped in flames
which were with difficulty extinguished. She wts
taken to the hospital, and lingered in great pin
for two days.—The jury returned a verdict of
"Accidental death."

MR. G. W. HASTINGS, M.P., AT DUDLEY.
On Wednesday night the annual meeting of the
Du !ley Institute was held. 41'01
Mr. G. W. Hastings, M. P, who presided, moved
the adoption of the report. He said that durinig
the past year the science classes continue I 10
flourish, and he believed he was correct in saying
that there had never been a time in the history of
the Institue when they had done more work than
at present—(hear, hear). It was hardly possible
to exaggerate the educational influence th at was
exerted by the classes in institutions of that nature
It was most desirabl9 that by means of such placos
there should be opportunities afford-d to those of
dseiroes of adding to their knowledge and fitting
themselves for their accretions in life, lie had
on several occasions had the pleasure of distribut-
ing prizes to those who
.had distinguished them-
selves in the examinations, and he had more than
once been struck by the admirable results of the
education given them—(cheersi. He hoped the In-
stitue would never lose sight of that educational
work which was carried on. It was true that the
means of education which had been given there
had a much wider range than was probably con-
templated when the Institute was called into exis-
tence. He felt sure that in Dudley the good effect
of instruction given and of a love of know edge
fostered there had borne excellent fruit in the past
and he could not doubt it would bear equally gc,ol
fruit in the future--(aPplause).
Mr. Sh-ppard seconded the motion, aid after
some opoosidon it was carried.
On the motion of the Chairman, Mr, Gilbert
H. Claughton was then elected President for the
ensuing yerr.
Mr. (Naughton, in returning thanks, said they
were passing throu4h a coal nercial crisis, but he
did not think they necd be in the least afraid of the
petty adverse .oalance. A gentleman of consider-
able experience said to him a short time ago he
had known South Staffordshire voted as entirely
played out seven times, but six times it had
phcenix-like risen up from its ashes to a renewed
good trade. Perhaps it was that he wa3 young,
but he had not the least fear of a revival of some
kind, and when that revival came there was not
the slightest doubt that that institution would re-
cover its lost ground by leaps end hounds.—
(cheers),
A vote oF thanks was then passed to the retiring
•president.
After the usual form ti business the mieting
closed.
