MONMASTERT QUARTERLY MEETING.

The ironmasters' meetings for the current quarter
commenced at Wolverhamptoe yesterday (Wednesday).
The attendance was comparatively small, and the amount
of Incliner transacted was limited. Even in pig.iroci, which
generally forms the staple business of the Wolverhampton
meeting, the transactions reported were lean than usual;
and for the manufactured commodity there has been
• fall-off in the demand for the last two or three weeks,
and it ie only the principal arms who have sufficient orders
in to keep their works in fell operation : so tar as they
are ooecerned, prior are steadily adhered to. Another
clans of makers are not getting etch good prime as at last
quarter-day. The pig masters are stiffens( from the high
price of ironstone, the yield of the district i for every de-
scription there is a good demand : its increasing scarcity is
becoming more felt, end those who raise it are endeavounng
to obtain higher prices, which consumers are unwilling to
yield to; the market price of Staffordshire pig-iron beleg such
as to prohibit any further rise in the price of materials, the
more especially as the pig masters have to mounter Manse.
lug competition with their brethren in the trade is North
Staffordshire, also with the Forest of Dean and the Cleve-
land districts. The tales of " pig " reported at this meeting
were at much the Name prima as last quarter-day, but there
wan less buoyancy than on that oomidon, and this branch is
not nearly in so satisfactory a state its could be desired.
There has been some degree of nominees is the trade
during the week, consequent on the notices given by the
peddlers for an advance in their wages scale. These expired
Jut Saturday, and in some of the weeks the men have not
yet gone in ; bet it is not anticipated that this demand will
be persisted in, and that at latest all the men will have re-
sumed work by next Monday or Tuesday. The state of the 1
trade is not each es to admit of any advance, and on the'
part of the masters there =hits a firm determination not
to yield any. The great meeting of the trade will take
place, as usual, is the Town-ball, Birmingham, this day
(Thursday).

MURDER IN IRELAND.—The Cuetlebar corre-
spondent of the Preessoles Anneal writing as Wonky,
says :—" A reward of 301. has been just offered by Mr.
Stritch, the resident magistrate of this district, for any in-
formation that will lead to the oonviction of some party
or parties unknown, who cruelly and deliberately murdered
a woman named Mary Carroll by throwing her late a
stream and smothering her. It appeared from the
evidence adduced at the inquest that the dammed
was reputed to be worth some money, as she was in the
habit of lending out money at interest, being a posies
woman. On the morning of the night she is said to have beau
murdered, she came to this tows to trammel some affairs,
and returned home rather late io the evening, having just
as she left the town changed a note. She was not seen
again till found next monis( in this stream or small river,
at a village called Cumanool, on the Newport rod. The
place were she was found was a considerable distance off
the road, and altogether away from wham she lived. Dr.
Barrett, who made a post mortem examination of the body,
proved to several marks of violence being on her person,
just as if she was dragged aloe' the ground by force. The
jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some par-
son or persons unknown. Though her purse was found with
her, the money she bad in it when leaving town was gone.
