IRONMASTERV QUARTERLY MEETING.

BIRMINGHAM, TRURIIDAY.
The third of the series of the meetings of the iron-
muter' for the current quarter wes held in toe Town Hall
here this afternoon. The attendance was large, sad •
moderate amount of business wss done ; but most of the
principal buyers have already bought, so that the orders
Riven to-day were not large. As was intimated is the report
of the meeting at Wolverhampton yesterday, all idea of a
further advance of prices has been abandoned, and the trade
is needy without being brisk. The pressure on the money
market has mainly contributed to check the disposition to
make further advances, and the certainty that the rate of
discount will be again advanced is sufficient to check any-
thing approaching to 'perdition. For some descriptions of
the commodity, as well as particular makes (rods in
particulae), the rise has been 30s. a ton ; but
with this exception, the rise on the various kinds of
Staffordshire iron has been 11. per ton on the prices of lest
quarter-day. Sheets are rather less in demand ; but to-day
pigs were more inquired after, and the stocks in hand show
that the ornyenien into manufactured iron goes on at a
rapid rate. Shropshire "mikes" are quoted es high as
61. 10s. to 61. 15s. • ton. The tie plate trade is improving.
Within the last few weeks then has sprang up a consider-
able demand for this description of manufacture, and
prices have advanced. Altogether the meeting to-
day passed off astaserorily. When the fact beams
known that the Bank directors had separated without
advancing to 6 per cent, as was expected, it put the
trade in better spirits; sad es the orders in hand are con-
siderable, it is probable that the present range of prices will
be steadily maintained. As regards the payment of ac-
counts, the meeting' so far have passed cff without com-
plaint

M unfortunate accident occurred in the Munich
Crystal Palace on the 4th. Duriog the progress of a concerti,
al which the King waspresent, the breaking of glass was
heard, and instautly the audience were seised by • retie.
A rash was made to the doors, and many were knocked
down and injured. A crowd of people who bad assembled
outside to catch the strains of the music became also
slatted, and spread the news over the c:ty of the fall of the
, palace. Order,
however,
was at last restored, and mainly
the
,
it is said, by the presence of mind and sang froa of
King, who, with the Princess Alesandra and the Prince
and Princess Lultpold, sat in perfect tranquillity throughout
the uproar. The audiento afterwards testified their admi-
ration of this inample by load acclamations.
