THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, IrefineJoh

The ironmastera mustering here to-day were
full of regrets at the failure of negotiations for
an armistice. In anticipation of a tolerably near
approach of the restoration of peace, communi-
cations had been opened between buyers and sel-
lers, both in the pig and finished iron depart-
ments; which looked well as to the near future.
They had, however, been hardly begun before
they ceased, and business fell back into the old
rut—consumers of finished iron taking only
enough to supply a from band to mouth demand'
and the buyers of pigs declining to accumulate
stocks more than sufficient to meet immediate
pressing necessities. At the same time, there
are considerable arrivals of pig-iron from other
districts. This is due to the fact that there are
now nearly 110 furnaces in blast in this district,
producing, at 120 tons to each furnace per week,
an annual output of 688,400 tons—a decrease
upon 1861, when there were 181 furnaces at
work, of 131,000 tons. Foundry iron is selling
well, and recent transactions at fair prices are
reported in good forge samples. The ironworks
generally are doing about five turns a week, and
the business done to-day justifies the expectation
that that will continue to be the proportion of
employment.

that

The natural effect of the failure of the armis-
tice negotiations was apparent at the meeting at
Birmingham, on Thursday, in the diminished
attendance and dejected tone of the ironniasters
of that district, whose interests are being more
seriously effected by the prolongation of the
war, than WAS originally thought possible. For
, the present, all large operations seem to be in
abeyance, and though the current home demand
for general merchant iron is fairly good for the
season, it is quite inadequate to keep the large
productive powers of the trade fully employed.
Thursday's market added very little to the busi-
ness of the mills and forges, but makers are not
yet in absolute need of orders,and prices, there-
fore, are well maintained. At the plate mills
there is eonerally full en iployment, and for hoops
and gas strip the demand is specially good. Ex-
port transactions, chiefly in hoops, sheets and
bars, are very limited at present. In rails there
is little doing. The maximum production may
be estimated at 500 tons a week, and the results
of the manufactory have been so unsatisfactory
hitherto in South Staffordshire, that it is now
decided to abandon it entirely to districts more
favourable circumstanced as regards pig-iron
and freight. The local pig-iron market con-
tinues dull. For the leading brands there is a
steady, but far from brisk demand. Inferior
qualities sell slowly, at slightly easier rates.
Cinder and common forge are quoted XII 17s 64
to .E 3 20 64, and all wine hot blast £8 108 to XS
17a 6d, but these prices are to a great extent
nominal. Prices of finished iron are tolerably
firm, at £7 58 to XS for bars; £717.64 to £8
10s for hoops, and £8 108 to kV per ton for
sheets.

DUDLEY.

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO TRR MA4oll.—On Wed-
nesday evening the members of the Town Council enter-
tained the Mayor (Alderman Nosh Hingley) at a dinner,
at the Dudley Arms Hotel. Alderman Job Taylor, es.
Mayor, occupied the chair during the early part of the
evening, and Mr. Frederick Smith the latter, whilet Al-
derman Hedge held the position of vice chairman. The
Chairman was supported by the re-elected Mayor, the
Rev. W. Reyner Coeens, MA., the vicar, the Rev. Robert
Harper, Head blaster of the Grammar School, Dr.
Moore, and Messrs. J. R. Tilley, B. Hingley, B. Robin-
son, Bourne, and S. Ringley. The Council was fully re-
presented, and the principal officers were present. After
the introduetory toasts, the Chairman proposed the
" Health of the Mayor," and spoke of the urbanity and
kindliness of Alderman Bingley, and hie strict attention
1,, the business of the town. The re-election was an
honour to him, and so such it would be appreciated, for
he knew that no effort would be spared by that gentle-
man to helpthe town and its people.—The Mayor briefly,
but warmly, responded.--Several complimentary toasts
followed, including the " Earl and Countess of Dudley
and Viscount Ednam," "Lord Lyttelton," " County and
Borough Members," and " County and Borough Mmes.
Gatos" —The Mayor proposed the health of the Chair-
man (Kr. Smith). In responding, the Chairman reitera-
ted his intention not to wholly sever his connection with
Dudley. He should take as lively an interest as before
In its prosperity, and should certainly continue to asaist,
not only its charitable institutions, but those with which
his name had 'bean for no many years connected. Mr.
Smith then proposed the " Health of Alderman Badge,"
and spoke of bidi as a citizen, as • Magistrate, and as •
yeomanry officer in the highest terms; and Mr. Budge
suitably responded. In responding to the "Town and
Trade of Dudley and the Coal and Iron Trades," Mr. E.
Bagott and Mr. B. Hingley spoke hopefully of the pros.
poets of the town; the latter gentleman affirming that
there was evidence showing that before two years had
pasted Dudley would la•re a brilliant trade, such as it
had not had for many years. Several other tosata
lowed.

WILL CASES.

The ion...ring cases have been heard In the Loudon law-
courts :
Cock. Y. MANNERS.—Frances Manner., the late
wife of the defendant, by her will, in 1867, after be-
queathing her jewellery, watches, and ornaments to
be divided amongst her children, gave the residue of
her property equally between the Newport Catholic
Chapel, the Brighton Catholic Chapel, the Dominican
Convent at Carisbrook, and the Sisters of Charity of
St. Paul at Selley Oak, near Birmingham, and she
declared that the receipts of the officiating priests of
the chapels and of the superiors of the other institu-
tions should be good discharges. The testatrix died in
February last, and a question having arisen as to the
validity of two of the bequests this suit was instituted,
and at this stage it was ordered that the chief clerk
should inquire what were the institutions referred tom
the Dominican Convent and Sisters of Charity of St.
Paul, and whether the same or either of them were or
was a charitable institution.
HOLLAND V. WOOD. —George Ward, by will, on the
the August, 1809, after other disposition., gave and
I devised an estate in Burg-in-the-Marsh, Lincolnshire,
unto his daughter Ann, the wife of William West, her
I heirs and arraigns, for ever, and by a codicil made eleven
days afterwards he ordered that the said estate, an
given by him to his daughter and her hrii or assigns
I for over, should not be so given, but to all the four
children or legal issue of his said daughter, to be di-
vided amongst them equally. The questions were,
what estate the daughter and her children, ten in
number originally, took, and whether her grandchildren
participated in the devise.
The Vice Chancellor held that all the children of
the daughter living at the death of the testator, or
born afterwards, were entitled to the imitate at her
death in equal shares.

SCENES IN PARIS.

Yesterday [the 31st October—writes a Correspondent of
The riffle 141 was a terrible day In Paris. All ended well, but
such was the imoult wlitch prevailed that four-fifths of the
population of Paris went to bed fully convinced they were
under the rule of the Red Republic. They got no in the
morning to find this fact proclaimed In all the newspapen
pnblithed before nine o'clock, and it was not until the usual
breakfast hour drew near that It began to dawn upon them
that, after all, Paris was safe, that the new revolution waS
still-born, and that General Trochu was once more the au-
preme governor of the metropolia. Yesterday morning all
Paris, including alkciasses, was wild with irritation maim&

The chief CIIII3O of irritation was the re capture of Bourget
by the Prnssiens as tile result of the moat consummate bung.

Bourget alone en uld not have led to an attempt a'. revolu-

made all ripe for revolution. We were more or less pre-

"Be lure this means 11l Couut Bismarck has sever allowed
any one to enter Paris unless he were the bearer of evil

plain truth is that aince the siege began it was impossible
for any one to enter Paris at any thee without bringing bad
news, and it so happens that M. Thiere, if ho brought bad
news with him, also brought good. But such reasoning

THE EX-EMPRESS AT CHISLEHURST.

On OM return of the ex-Emprets from the Continent
on Thum lay in last week, her Majesty came up to
Loudon by the night Mail from Dover, due at Charing.
cross at four Cm, Naiwithetauding that the authorities
of the :South-Hasten"' Company had offered to stop the
express trains at Chielehurst wheuever the ex-Emprems
required them, her Majesty declined to be the cause of
any interference with the ordinary arrangements of the
line. A carriage was in waiting at the station on the
arrival of the train, and in this the ex-Empress drove
through the cold damp morning 54 to her present home,
where she arrived about seven o'clock. The appear-
ance of the ex- Empress and the lirince li,nperiiil in one
of their favourite resort, Coisleburst in the course
of Saturday canted surprise to those who as tr them
the fact of her arrival up to that time having been kept
close secret,

On Sunday the ex-Empress, her eon, and members of
the household attended eleven o'clock maps at the
small Roman Catholic Church. A good many of the
residents of the village had assembled along the way,
and as her Majesty and the Prince Imperial pa...lM
they were respectfully saluted On all sides, and the
salutis urro very gracefully acknowledged. The ex.
Empress was simply and neatly attired. She wore
over a short skirt of brown velvet a dark robe, a white
handkerchief round her neck, and • black round hat,
trimmed with black silk riliand, generally called •
sailor's hat. As the Imperial party entered the
church, the whole congregation stood up, and the
ex-Empress and her son walked along the centre to their
seats, bowing their acknowledgments of the marks of
respect that had been shown them. The little church
was crowded in every part. At the close of the
service the same deference wag shown. Both the ex-
Empress and the Prince looked in excellent health.

M. THIEBS' OPINIONS.

M. Thiers, on leaving Versailles for Paris, on the
30th, bad some conversation with the Prussian outpoat
commander, the substance of which is published by
the Gerurisn paper& The officer's sympathieing man-
ner apparently led the aged statesman, who likes so
much to hear himself talk, int, a full outpouring of his
pent-up feelings. He referred to his effort, to avert
the war, sad deacrilsed the sitting of the CAps Legia-
litl in which prophetically, as he himself believed, he
predioti d the defeat of Frazee, though the clenched
fists of forty Bonspartiats were directed towards
Not without betraying a painful satisfaction at his own
foresight, he dwelt ou the tumultuous scenes which oc-
ourred in front of his usually quie t house on the even ing of
the 16ih of July. He appeared to forget that he only
opposed the war as inopportune, and that since 1860 he
had by constant speeches against Germany fanned the
flame and stirred the tire. The Prussian officer ventured
to remind him that in 1840 he advocated war akainst
Germany. " Ah," replied Thiers, "the thing was
quite different then. At that time we were obviously,
incontestably, in the right. The quadruple alliance
had secretly intrigued against us, and wished to make
fails ercomphs which we could not submit to.
The object then was to prevent Syria falling to
Egypt; we were not then unprepared, had excellent
general, and the. prospects of success were altogether
in our favour. This time everythin was the reverse.
l'he Emperor desired the war, but at bottom he
only followed the Empress's impulse. Both were in
the highest sense incompetent to guide the destinies 01
the country, and my fellow countrymen must today
pay a heavy price for having so long put up with the
rule of such a charlatan as Napoleon III." M. Thiele
knew of the fall of Metz, but was far from condemning

BANKRUPT PEERS.

The Times remarks that, it being now clearly ester
Wished that • peer of the realm may become a bankrupt,
not only in fact, but in contemplation of law, what
remains to be decided fit whether a peer, having be'
come a bankrupt, can be permitted to retain his seat
as an hereditary member of the Legislature. Since
the alleged privilege of the peerage in respect of
insolvency has been finally set amide in the case
of the Duke of Newcastle, petitions have been
filed and adjudications obtained against the Earl of
Winchelsea, the Earl of Orkney, and Lord de Manley.
It is impossible not to reflect with some anxiety on
the remoter consequences of these repeated debacle.
tions amoroi the representatives of great historical
families. Leery aristocracy depends for its stability
on virtues, either real or imputed, and our own in
particular cannot afford to dispense with the support
of public respect which recent disclosures have tended
to weaken. No one, indeed, expects our peers to
abstain altogether, like the Itoman senators, from
mercantile connections. Put it is not by reverses
incident to legitimate commerce that so many peers
have lately cast away not only great hereditary
fortunes but a prestige which generations cannot
restore. It is by converting into money, whether
on the turf or in the share-markets, the confidence
repoeied in the honour of an English nobleman.
The prevailing lust of wealth, it is to be feared,
has impaired the traditional code of aristocratic
honour to a decree unknown before. Transactions
which used to be considered unworthy of a gentleman
are no longer considered in certain circles unworthy of
a nobleman ; and the old.sentiment, "noblesse oblige,"
has welbnigh ceased to have any especial meaning in
pecuniary affairs. The remedy for this evil, so far vs
it effects the Roue. of Lorde, is manifestly beyond the
power of that Rouse or of the whole Legislature. At
the same time, a rule excluding a bankrupt peer,
temporarily or permanently, from the privilege of
sitting in Parliament, might operate as a salutary
cheek on reckless extravagance and speculation.
