NA LIONAL Ci.LEBRA.TIONS,

TetE celebratiou of the surrender of the French
Army at Sedan on the 2ini September; 1870, is
one which is aunualy regarded with much in-
terest in the Gerund c ipitat. Nor is this to be
greetly surprised at. bream:: had been threaten-
ing Prussia for maay years, au i after the Battle
of Sedowa, in Juiy, 1800, made DU secret of her
prepuretiene for war. 'filet great coutlict had
pat an end to itl6trial: iDlithilied in Germany,
had gut rid of the old Band, and bad c tiled into
existence the Nor:h Gertnaa Cenfederation.
Franco was no longer the centrollin,g power on
the Continent, nor could the Emperor eieteeieou
remain what was caLed the arbiter of Europe.
For years before the declaration of wer in 1870
it did net require lunch foresight to predict the
approach of a ini..hty struggle. The °luso Wit:s
found in the uutuinetion of a Priece of the House
of Holteozellern to the throne of Spain, and
then the gathering storm broke. War was de-
clared, and within six s'eck cf that step being
teken the Emperor Napoleon, after follewing in
the train of defeated armies, wee a captive in
the hands of his euenlies, his leeious w re pH-
souers of war, the coveted forreseee
were in the pessession of theis uureleieieg an-
tagonists, atisi two fair provinces had passed
over to the foe. Then ensued the sedge and
capture of the French capital ; and as all these
momentous events occured so recently, we can
scarcely be surprised at the commemorative
activity which the Geruians once a year display.
[hey had won a great and splendid victors emit]
were fully entitlea to be proud of it.
The anniversary of a great battle has -just
passed over our heads in thie country when has
attracted little or no atteution. True, it was
fought a lung while ago an I awe has placed
two generations of. men between the struggle
upon the field of Waterloo and the people of to-
dey. But at the age at which it was fought, it
WAS regarded, and rightly regarded, as ot quite
as much consequence as the Gentian triumph of
thirteen years ago. It fleally suppressed and
effectually disposed of a public enemy who had
been disturbing the peace of Europe for nearly
t!venty years. Napo:eon Bonaparte—they gave
him only his surname in those far-off days—had
trampled upon every Continental nation netil.
1812 when the spell of his success was broken by
the over-whelming catastrophe which followed
the burning of Moscow. In the next year the
combined armies of Austria, Prussia, and Russia
inflicted upon Bonaparte a decisive defeat at
Leipsic, and in 1814 he was sent to the island of
Elba, still retaining his Imperial title. But he
soon wearied of laying out roads and administer-
ing tle peaceful affairs of his little sea-girt do-
main. Escaping from, what must have been to
him an irksome detention, lie tigain lauded in
France and the araty SOGII joined his standard
But now, for the first time tie was called upon
to meet the great military captain of whom
England was so proud. Strangely enough,
though Wellington end Bonaparte had been
fighting since the beginning of the century in
various parts of the world, they had never been
pitted against each other on the same field of
battle. In the Peeineular War Wellington hae
I
to dee; with Boneparte's marshals, such as Mes•
seas, i\iarmout, Red Suult, while the great
neater of legions was himself fighting elsewhere-
ao that it was not until tho decisive conflict at
Waterloo that they faced each other. We all
kuow the rusult. Bonaparte was defeated and
caged for the reneuithier of his life, and Europe
thereafter had peace for nearly forty years.
The celebration of the Battle of Waterloo has
died out, more particularly since teeCrimeauWar
There the armies of France and England fought
together side by side against those of Russia.
The feuds of centuries were forgotten. During
the loug-drawu-out Beige of Sobastopel, it was
determined at length to carey the redoublab!e
fortress In assault, and the day fixed for the
attack was the 18_h of June, 1855, the anniver-
sary of the Battle of Waterloo four decades pre-
viously. It was resolved to capture the Itedan
' and the Malakoff Tower, the two keys of the
position. But by some means the secret councils
of the allied commanders leaked out, and they
fuun I the Muscovites prepered fer what was
coming. So that when in the early grey ef a
sweater mornieg the Freech advanced towards
tie Malekhoff, and tile English moved in the
direction of the Redan, they were received with
deadly storm of bullets which fell like hail,
Human power could not stand against it, and a
repulse was the consequence. Prince Gortscha-
koff, the Goveroor of Sebastopel, issued a procla-
tnetion to his forces, .calling upon them to drive
the allied armies into the Black Sea. This was
Ziot acemepiiehed ; for on the Bth September fel-
lewing the stately mistress of the Euxine was he
possession of the enemies
.of Russia. But the
mutual check received by the English awl French
before the wails of Sebastopol on the 18th . June
1855, put an end in this country to any wish to
ostentatiously celebrate thereafter the great vic-
tory of Weterlou.

THE IRON TRADE
BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.
Most of the second-class finished ironworks kA..p
in rag,ular operation, but the marked bar establish-
ments are only partially employed, except in the
case of the Round Oak Works, the Netherton Iron-
works, and one or two other concerns, which are
fairly well engaged on shipbuilding and engineering
specialities and horse-shoe iron. At the marlre't
this afternoon the inquiries were numerous, but
, tarriness was confined to current wants. A good
trade, however, is expected at the ensuing quarterly
meetings. Meanwhile merchants a,nd consulraers
are trying to bear" the ma:ket, aid are holltng
b ,clt contracts ;n the hope of obtaining more favr.ur-
abb • terms. Manufacturers this tif erno..n showed no
disposition to make c,,ncessio,' s, and toine of ths
sheet reanufacturers declined to a c pt cat:acts
for fnrward delivery except at an advance of 58. a
ton on late rates. As a rule common sheets (singles)
were half a-crown a ton dearer th:n a week ago,
ranging from £7 12s. 6d. at delivered in th. 3
district. Doubles were sold a £8 10s., and iattcns
about 20s. extra. Galvanised sheets were in steady
requeat for local consumption and for export, and
there wris a brisk demand for mild steel sheets at
firm quotatkns. Tin plates met with a little better
inquiry, though prices were unre,munerative. Thire
was a moderate distribution r,f orderl for merch:rry:
