IRONYONGE&T ASSOCIATION.

A society which has been formed under the above
tit* and which is, we am informed, supported by the lead-
ing amnion of the trade, has opened a large waren:am at
711 A, High Holborn, for the exhibition of new inventions in
bon work, highly finished articles of the same class, and
generally, for the purpose of giving the public the oppor.
tunity of judging of the comparative morita of the different
manufacturers. The collection, as at present exhibited, is
small, but the institution is as vet In its infancy, and it is
expected that when the latter becomes better known it
will be more extensively supported by the trade generally,
and more abundantly supplied with specimens. During a
visit whiob we paid the exhibition yesterday, we were
struck with the novelty, both in design and application
of material, of some specimens of " Floral light,'
consisting of flower-pots of various sixes, filled with Bowen
in iron, but coloured after nature, and the latter having in
the petals jets of gas, which make a very pretty and fanci-
ful illumination. There is a Christmas Tree made in this
manner, which has a very pleasing effect when lighted up.
and which is very likely to become popular during our
approaching annual festival. There are also some capital
American " Notions," such as rotatory clothes-brush.. •
carpet-brooms which make no dust, and will permit of the
housemaid reading her favourite periodical whilst sweeping
out the drawireproom ; and • wonderful pair of skates for
skating on carpets, and which, as the inventors my, will
provide en admirable in-door recreation for persons of
sedentary pursuit.. Amongst the minor matters are new
designs in door-knobs warranted not to coin* off,
and a novel description of drill for whiteonithe,
the use of which will, it Is expected, supersede
the most injurious operation in the trade. There are wvera
handsome designs in domestic eisetroplele ; ad in this de-
partment are violates ahvikaiing the whole history el
that invaluable domestic imitation the teapot, from in
first nnimpreasive appeenace in the shape of a long Arnow
plate of Mahal silvery down to its final perfection, is all
the glories of burnished ornament and elaborate chasing.
Many Ireful bat lass important specimens make up the
collection. which only wants to be a little more numerous
to be highly interesting. It is a:portal that by the time the
Smithfield Cattle Show has Iliad the town with country
visitant all deficiencies will have been supplied.

Man the Beetmoo
The Emprese Eugenie left Edinburgh on Thurs-
day to proceed on a short tour to the North. Before eleven
o'clock—es cooniderthle number of pumas congregated in
front of Douglas's Hoed, m Se Andrewequare, and were 5
surprised to see the 78th tura up to W square from
Prinemeetreet, and muck up to sad pest the heed, with ,
geed bayonets, in full regimented costume, and=biy.
the regimental bend and pipers. As moans the
approached, the windows of the first door were thrown
opts, and the Empress came forward and weed down
upon their kilted and plumed ranks with the live-
lied interest, and with evident gratification. At length,
when Colonel Evart paw the window at tbe rear of his
men, and saluted her Majesty en milataire, his courtesy was
rewarded by repeated and smiling acknowledgments. We
believe this demonstration was given in consequence of the
admiration which the Empress expressed on seeing the
guard of the 78th during her visit to the Castle on Tues-
day, Riad a casual remark which she made, to the offset
that a regiment of such gallant fellows in the Highland
garb must have a very sinking appearance. Acting on the
hint supplied by this remark, Colonel Evart, after the 78th
heel been paraded is the Queen's Park, ordered the . _
regiment to return by the Regent-road, Princes'.
etreet, and St. Andrew-square to the Goethe. The
military display greatly inmeneed the crowd el
splashes in front of the hotel, and as time
weed an without any vehicle being breasts round to the
dear, a rumour of the true state of matters got' abroad, and
the crowd continued to enlarge, until, by mid-day, apes- A
arstly from 1,500 to 2,000 people had aseembled.
Her Majesty expressed herself highly pleased and satisfied
milk the accommodation provided, and added that she had
Inem felt more at Dome in an lietth Oa the previous
ambi lies Majcitylid ban pleased to send far the visitors'
book, and in a fe'w minutes maimed it with bre name in-
eeribed (under the title it Commie de Pionettind), along
with the names of her suite, and followed by a note stating
that she was " mach pleased with the accommodation at the
facto.' About 12 o'clock, the Empress having been descried
" by the crowd at one of the windows, enthusiastic and re-
posted ethers were given, which her Majesty graciously ,
ackn
wledged.
la the. meantime, a meow wm' dispatched to Mr.
flerrart, superintendent at the Ebur& and Glasgow and
Scottish Central Terminus, intimating that the Empress
intended leaving Edinburgh with her suite and attendants
by the 12.45 train for Perth. Long before that time, how-
ever, the platform had been promenaded by groups of well-
drered
The Zdpress, on arriving at the dation, was handed from
her carriage by the Marquis de la Grange, and she repeatedly
smiled and bowed gooddiwnouredly in acknowledgment of
the enthusiastic plaudits which resounded on every side. It
WY a fee sees as well as more extensive, ovation
Men tbet Alamo had any previous opportunity of we-
aseling te the Haeggess, and her Majesty seemed to enjoy It .
htheeneely. After she had taken her seat in railway car-
ds" she several linisilooked out, sentled, a debowed ; and
mmeething beviagappereetly occurred. either in the demon-
stations of the crowd or the comments of the other wee-
pants of the wrap, to amuse the imperial fancy, her
Majesty leased forward ono, or twice seemingly eterruleed"
with laughter. The tmin at length moved off amid the
hearty bunts of cheering from all who witnessed Its depar-
ture.
The Empress would arrive at Perth a few shares before
4 o'clock, and was to stay ever lest night in the Royal
George Hotel there. We mamba& that her Majesty will
to-day promote her journey to the north,..cd it is ru-
moured that she will speed some time in norm; Balmoral
and other places of interest in Aberdeenshire ; after which
it is sup that she will return either by Glasgow or
Edits and stay tar man days at Hamilton rats,
before leaving Scotland for the south.
ARRIVAL AT PERTH.
The fact that the Empress was to arrive here on Then-
, day afternoon by the Scottish Goat& Railway was but
very partially known throughout the town, so that a
meagre concourse of people was on the pktlonn of the ,
sexual station to receive her. Amongst the ladies and
rotten= Foment we observed Lady Louis Mon-
Mete, Lady Oswald, Sir John S. Richardson of Pit-
four, Bart. ; Rev. Mr. Liston, Redgorton ; Colonel
Ounpbell ; Captain Mourieff of the Perthshire Volunteer
' Rifles ; WMhim Peddle, Esq., of Blackruthven ; Arabi-
! bald Reid, Esq., Sheriff-Clerk of Perthshire; Andrew
Davidson, thq., director of the (Scottish North-Beaten
Railway ; George Gray, Esq., director of the Scottish
Central Railway ; Robert Greig, Faq., merchant ; David
Rosa req., merchant ; William Res, Esq., solicitor ;
David— ITepthre, Esq., eoliettbr, &d. These wia Abe
attempt whatever at any military display, and not
i even a single policeman was present. The Scottish Cm-

; tied aridly et tea minutes to four o'clock. The train
was a pretty lame one, chiefly filled with parties corning to
the railway sorema festival, which was to take place hi
the City Hall an Ti. 111141, night, and at which ibl,
Marquis of Breadalbane was AIPACtea to preside.
Many of the passengers who had come in at the inter-
mediate stations were ignorant that the Empress Eugenie
was hi the train along with them, and expressed great
astonishment on bearing the cheers which arose as soon
as the train stopped. " Wha'• in the train that they're
dear'!" was the question from many lips. Sodl
e was the crowd of imitators, her Imperial Na-
jaf/ was received with great enthusiasm and hearty
huzzahs, which she repeatedly acknowledged with a bow and
a smile. Accompanied by her suite, she walked through the
teradnee to a cab in waiting outdid. ; and immediately
drop to the Royal George Hotel, where she intended to
pas the might A considerable crowd awaited her Ma-
ty's arrival at the hotel, aed welcomed her with loud cheers.
