LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—OD 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 new society of
114endelssohn's Elijah. At the opening of the oratorio
the band was somewhat weak, owing, as we are in-
forme], 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 satisfaction to the audience.
Mr. Surman conducted throughout with undeviating
precision. The principal vocalists engaged were the
Misses Lacombe and D )Iby, and Messrs. Lawler, Donald
King, &c. The next performance is announced to take
place on the 4th Juue.
THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY....
The price of iron, with little inclination to drop, remains
IA same as last quarter s quotations. The stocks of
lers, owing to the time they have waited in eapecta-
- • f a reduction o' price, are becoming small. It is
- -;
n that the ironmasters are now manufacturing to
but there appears to be little doubt that from ne-
• •. a demand must shortly occur which will relieve
IPshitifrom any apparent over make. The fact that the
i
arisife of workmen in all departments bare been ad-
ianOd is a strong proof of the confidence entertaiced of
Jtpe stability of present rates.
