The forthcoming celebration of the silver
'wedding of the Princess Royal of England with
the Crown Prince of Germany will be on a scale
of great splendour, and amongst the guests at
Berlin next week will be the Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Edinburgh. Twenty-five years
is but a short time in the lifetime of a State;
but yet, daring the past quarter of a century
Prussia has leaped from a comparatively Oscura
' position to be the leading military" Power in
Europe. In January, 1858, Prussia was not in
good odour in this country. At that time we
, bad not forgotten the Crimean War, in which
France, Turkey, and Sardinia fought side by
side with us in turning back the great Colossus
of the North, and in stemming the advance of
Russian progress towards the South of Europe.
In that struggle, which lasted two years, Prus-
sia took no part; indeed the sympathies of the
Court and people were with our formidable an-
tagonist. Englishmen were not, therefore, par-
ticularly enthusiastic over a matrimonial alli-
ance with the Prussian Court. The marriage,
however, took place on January 25th, and the
best wishes of the nation accompanied the eld-
est daughter of the Queen to her new home.
Since then great events have happened, which
have had a considerable effect on the position
of the princess and her husband, who is now next
heir to the Imperial Crown of Germany.
The extraordinary rise of Prussia during the
past five-and-twenty years is one of tho most
wonderful stories which could be told in any age
or of any country. Prussia kept remarkably
quiet until in the early spring of 1864 she joined
Austria in coercing Denmark into giving better
uovernment to the German-speaking population
In the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. There
was much sympathy for Denmark in England—
the sympathy which one naturally feels when a
little Power is pounced upon by two big ones.
But we did not interfere ; and the policy of non-
intervention was challenged in Parliament. A
vote of censure upon Lord Palmerston's Gov-
ernment was carried in the narrow majority of
nine, and rejected in the Commons by one of
eighteen. Two years later a quarrel arose be.
tween Prussia and her friend and ally of 1864.
Prussia rushed to arms with amazing celerity,
inflicted on Austria a crushing defeat at Sadowa
and put an end to her influence in the only Ger-
man Bond, which was dissolved, and the North
German Confederation took its place. .The
growing power of Prussia aroused the jealousy
of France ; and both France and Prussia at once
began to prepare for the great straggle which
was then seen to be inevitable. Four years
later the storm burst. On the 15th July, 1870.
amid a scene of considerable excitement in the
Chamber of Deputies, M. Emile 011iver, the
Prime Minister, announced that measures had
ben taken to guard the honour, the interests,
and the security of France, that her armies
were moving towards the eastern frontier, and
that for his own part he entered upon the war
with a light heart. We all know how that
ended. Within a few months France lay pros-
trate at the feet of the conqueror, bleeding at
every pore, and compelled to submit to the most
humiliating terms of peace which a eivilised na•
tion could impose upon a vanquished foe
Sue was called upon to pay a war indemnity of
ta o hundred millions sterling, two of her fair-
est provinces were torn from her, and her
strongest fortresses were in the possession of
her enemy. The French Empire was dissolved,
and the German Empire arose upon its ruins.
The King of Prussia became Emperor of Ger-
many, while Louis Napoleon was a prisoner in
the Castle of Wilhelmshohe. Prussia stood
forth to the world as the strongest military
Power on the surface of the olobe.
That position she still retains, but at an im-
mense sacrifice. The flower of her manhood is
drawn into her armies, and the productive en-
ergy which ought to go towards increasing the
wealth of a mighty people, is doomed to the
sterility of military service. So bitterly is
this felt that the tide of German emigration a-
cross the Atlantic is constantly on the increase.
The German prefers freedom in the groat con-
tinent of the west to living in a country which
is nothing better than a vast armed camp, from
the Danube to the Baltic, and whose paralysing
influence is felt upon the banks :both of the
Rhine:and the Elba. Russia:stands menacingly on
one aide of Germany, and France on the other.
There are those who hope and almost believe
that with the death of M. Gambetta, the pol-
icy of revanche of which ha was so determined
an expotent wilt die out. This however, it is
impossible to predict; and the chances are
that if Germany became involved in complica-
tions with Russia, France would not hesitate
to attabk her old opponent, with a view to re-
covering her lost provinces and her mili-
tary prestige. A vast standing army in Ger-
many is therefore inevitable.

THE IRON TRADE.
Wolverhampton, Wednesday.
The market this afternoon was quiet, and there
was not much disposition shown ta give out orders
except for early consumplon. Several manufac-
turers reported that they had taken a fair quantity
of orders skce the quarterly meetings, and
nearly every instance they had managed to main-
tain their old rates ; though others in the trade
have not been able to secure the terms they
deeired. Prices were on the whole tolerably steady
and ruled on the £8 basis for list bars. The pur-
chases by merchants of the latter desc:iption have
mostly been for export, the commoner classes of
bar iron being wanted for local consumption.
Sales were made this afternoon of the cheaper kinds
of bars at 78 6d, to 10s.' and some makers
who refused to sell wanted 4615 s for their make.
The hoop and strip makers are in possession of
some good orders, the execution of which will ktep
their machinery going full time for the next month
or more. Several specifications were offered for
common shaets, the value of which ranged at
about £8 5s for singles. The state of the books of
several black sheet manufacturers is such that any
orders they may take at the present time cannot
be executed before the end of the quarter, their
next two mouths' delivery having been sold before
the Christmas holidays. Stamping sheets were not
in so much mand, but for tin-plates there was a
satirfactory inquiry, and prices appealed to be
strengthening. In plates the transactions were
chiefly recorded by those engaged on sections for
girder making, though there were a few inquiries
for,tanklphstes, but the prices offered for the last
day or two'have not been very good, and makers
will not sell much iron as they are in the hope of
being able to securo better terms shortly. Pigs
were lib° held for nn.re.money, Owe Of the makers
Lying obtained contracts which will last them for
three and four months, and in some instances up
to June. High-class metal was withheld this week
the makers not caring to offer. Sales this after-
noon were principally made by those agents dealing
in foundry iron, much of which will come from out.
side districts. Foreign ironstone was in good re-
quest, and forge coal aas much asked after. House-
held qualities were plentiful and cheap.

BIRMINGHAM Thursday.
There was an entire absence of animation at the
ironmasters meeting this afteinoon. Not only was
the attendance unusually thin, but the amount of
business transacted waa exceptionally small for all
classes of iron. Buyers were conspicuous by their
abfence, and the chief conversation on 'Change was
as to the cause of the sudden and unexpected
cersation of demand. Producers stated that the
quarterly meetings had not resulte 1 in the dis-
tributi:sn of many orders, and even inquiries had
since fallen off. It was generally admitted that
the continuation, even for a few weeks, of the
pres.!nt quietude would result in disasterous
c.msequeuces to the local iron trade. Sh;et manu-
facturers experienced the depression equally with
the manufacturers of bar iron, and their position
has altered materially for the worse since Christmas,
Some of the more fortunate firms are only supplied
with contracts for a month or six weeks ahead,
and certain of the manufacturers of ordinary
Staffordshire merchant iron are dependent upon
the specifications obtained from day to day.
Q. citations of course were weak, but the business
effected was so slight as to afford no test of actual
prices. Marked iron met NI ith an extremely
ltmited demand. The inquiry was chiefly for
plates for gasometer purposes and engineering
rtquisites. No sales of importanoa were effected
in the pig iron department, and manufacture:a
urged that pigs are relatively half a crown a ton
clearer thin linislied
