AN ENORMOUS IRONFlELD.—According to state-
ments made by the directors of the Trent, An-
cholme, and Grimsby Railway, opened on Saturday, the
new line will bring Grimsby nino miles nearer Manchester,
14 nearer the South Yorkshire coalfields, and 23 or 24
nearer the most densely populated portion of tee \Vest
Riding, while the quantity of iron ore contained in the
newly-found iron district is the astounding sum of
3,500,000,000 tons. Comparisons have been instituted
between the new ironfield in Cleveland and the new one in
Lincolnshire, to show that the northern is but a fleabite in
comparison with the one on the hanks of the Trent, the
total to the Cleveland being Etatc.l at 500,000,000 tons.—

THE QUEEN'S BITZT7DAY IN SC".ITL't.ND.—The
fori.y-fifth anniversary of her Maj,:,sty's birtb.was celebrated
in Edinburgh on Thursday, some days in advance of the
actual day, and was observed as a general holiday. The
morning was rather dull and threatening, but the forenoon
cleared up beautifully, and the remainder of the day was
highly favourable for pleasure• seekers and excursionists.
the traffic on the different railways was much greater than
it has been on any Queen's birthday for several years past.
Notwithstanding. the great numbers who left town to spend
the day, there was an unusually large attendance on the
line of route of the Lord High Commissioner's procession;
and the places of public interest thrown open gratuitously
were crowded during the day,--Scotsman.

HERR MOLIQUE'S NEW MASS, OS performed OIL
Sunday last at St. Atoysius' Church, Somee,...
town.—" It is a great and real pleasure," says the lithe-
meant of to-day (just published) " to be able to commend
so heartily,
dor' the Mass by Herr Moliquo)
which s as
produced,omised, on Whit-Sunday, and
proves to be the highly-toned work of a reverential and
ve ui
ls
a ts
promised,
thoroughly accomplished master of his art and science, ill
every respect good and individual, if not startling- by any
very marked originality. Though it was heard to, disad-
vantage, with an organ to replace the orchestra, and
though those could not fail to be wearied who did not re-
lish the melancholy, long, and florid homily which inter-
vened between Gloria' and Credo' —a propriotl
of expression, a vigour of structure, a sobriety
of tone without dullness, an elevation without bons'
bast, a variety of modulation without approach to crudity-
in short, a thorough mastery over every secret of Corn
position, could not fail to make themselves felt. And, let•
it be remembered, that, to treat this grand series of Japans
anew is Mass by Mass, bacoming more and more dicillt*
In particular the ' Credo,' with its disjointed clauses of Ic.s
phrases of belief, is full of knots bard to untie. (3l'''
favourite ' Credo' has long been that to Beethoven's /deg'
in c major, though the grandest setting of any single clause,
is, indisputably, the Cruaaus' from Sebastian 113chs
Mass in minor. By our naming these two giants en such °I
occasion, it may be seen how highly we rate Herr Molicillotl
version of the Credo,' which is conceived in a spirit of its
own. The believer, though well assured, commence'
a tone of greater lowliness than we have been, for then
most part, used to hear. The act of Faith at its COrn:
rucricentent is ant unfirictur.:cl with hay fear, and rise.
gradually, Rs dif),o is alproached, to tluA
strength which almost bridges over the Valley'
.of t_e
Shidow, when the pilgrim approaches the gates of heaven"
The Qui tollis in the and the Benedictus 7t,
last movement, again, most difficult to treat, after Dicz:;_
and Beethoven,) deserves especial remembzance. But the
whole composition, we reeat, is vigorously hcantiful,:t:°:
singularly well sustained!; one to which we shall
earliest opportunity of returning. Ibis incomplete _
the
must not be closed without due honour being paid to
,z
excellent and thoroughly artistic singing of the sojN),il_ ra
part by Madame ltudersdoi ff. The Mass, we learn, \ I "

TANEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

Saturday is usually a quiet day in the general
money market, but the falling off in the number of
bills for discount is on the present occasion more
than ordinarily conspicuous. There is an abun-
dance of floating capital, with very little inclination
to borrow it on the present terms, a further reduc-
tion being considered imminent.
There was a general decline in the foreign ex.
changes yesterday afternoon. . _

About £73,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Rank yesterday.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £340,228, and the exports to
£417,644.
It has transpired that Messrs. Barnett, Hoares,
and Co., and 'Messrs. Banbury and Lloyd, bankers,
of Lombard-street, have amalgamated.
The report of the Trust and Loan Company of
Upper Canada for the half year ending March last,
has been issued. The net profits during this period
amount to .1.:14,095 6s. 7d., which, added to the
sum brought forward from September, gives a
balance at credit of revenue of £14,322 17s.
7d. The Directors recommend that oat of
this balance a dividend at the rate of 8 per
cent, per annum, less income tax, be declared
on the paid-up capital stock of the company ; that
one-half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per
annum, and the usual charge for interest, amounting
together to £3,768 7s. 11d., be carried to the re-
serve fund, in accordance with the provisions of
the royal charter of incorporation; and that £250
be applied to the redemption of preliminary expenses.
There will then remain the sum of £304 9s. Bd. to
the credit of the next half-year's accounts. During
the period embraced by the accounts the reserve
fund has been charged with the suns of £7OB 14s.
for losses on realisation of securities in default, and
Outlay on office premises. The amount standing
to the credit of this fund, after adding the £3,768
7e. 11d, above referred to, will be £54,802 9s.
