LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.--On Fri-
day evening last Exeter Hall was crowded to an over-
flow (many persons not being able to obtain admission)
to witness the first performance by this now society of
Mendelssohn's Elijah. At the opening of the oratorio
the band was somewhat weak, owing, as we are in-
formel, to some of the instrumentalists being detained
at a rehearsal at Covent-garden Theatre. Shortly after
the commencement, however, the orchestra was com-
plete, and the whole performance did credit to the so-
ciety, and gave evident satiJaction to the audience.
Mr. Sunman conducted throughout with undeviating
recision. The principal vocalists engaged were the
isses Lucombe and DJlby, and Messrs. Lawler, Donald
King, &c. The next performance is announced to take
place on the 4th June.
THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM,
The price efiron, with little inclination to drop, remains
the same ds last quarter's quotations. The stocks of
dealers, owing to the time they have waited in expecta-
tion of a reduction of price, are becoming small. It is
stated that the ironmasters are now manufacturing to
excess, but there appears to be little doubt that from ne-
cessity a demand must shortly occur which will relieve
them from any apparent ovet make. The fact that the
wages of workmen in all departments have been ad-
vanoed is a strong proof of the confidence entertained of
the stability of present rates.
