INCLOSTIRE AND IMPROVEMENT OF COMMONS.—An
Act of the last session (11th and 12th Victoria, chap.
99) came into force on the 4th inst., to further extend
the provisions of the Acts for the inclosure and improve-
! meet of commons. It is to be taken to be part of the
9th and 10th Victoria, chap. 70, and the 10th and 11th
Victoria, chap. 111, relating to the inclosuro and im-
provement of commons. Extended powers are given to
the Inclosure Commissioners by this Act. It is provided
that persons not interested in lands to be inclosed may
apply to the Commissioners to submit such lands to the
operation of inclosure. Maps of old inclosed lands are
now dispensed with, and there is a provision to the effect
that allotments of not less than 51 value may be com•
pensated in money. Expenses of maintaining private
roads, &c., may be raised by a rate on the owners.
Money raised for expenses is directed to be paid to the
Commissioners. By the 12th section it is enacted that,
on the neglect of the owner of an allotment to fence, the
owner of any other allotment prejudiced by his n. glect
may obtain possession, and do the necessary work, and
obtain judgmont in a county court provided the amount
does not exceed 201.

--fIIR IRON TRADE OP SOUTH STAFFORDSHIEE..--.
BIRMINGHAM. FRIDAY.—In consequence of what was
understood to be the improved state of the iron trade in
these districts, the men have demanded an advai.ce of
wages. Tne iron masters have had two meelin,gs upon
the subject—one at the Union Hotel, in this towel, and
another at the Hotel, Dudley. It is stated that the
masters have succeeded in convincing the men that the
iron tra ,e is nut in so, prosperous a coodition us it has
been represented to be, :sad that an tadv.snee of wages at
the present moment would be inju-ious to all parties. A
strike threatened has therefore been abanitoned. There
is, however, a printed notice published by the coal
miners that they will require an advance (If 6.1. per day
from the 16:h inst. The attempt made to arrange the
rate of wages accor,!ing to the fluctuating price of iron
appears to have failed altogether.
