tThis figure adds considerably
to the general effect—the male figures being so nume-
rous, and consequently the female drapery, by its light
appearance and beauty, produces a most charming con-
trast. The likeness is most excellent, and the figure is
life-like and admirably executed.
IRONMASTERS'QUARTERLY MEETINGS.—BIHMINGHAM,
Thursday.--The usual October meeting of ironmasters
was held to-day, but, although most of the principal
firms of the district were represented, the attendance was
by no means numerous. The trade generally wa; repre-
sented to be flat and inanimate, although the great
makers of best qualities of iron have considerable orders
on hand. The prices resolved upon at the preliminary
meeting held a fortnight age were maintained, but there
was considerable underselling among makers of inferior
qualities. The tendency of the market, upon the whole,
was not satisfactory, influenced greatly by the state of
the money market, but no positive information as to the
position and prospects of the trade can be given until
after the concluding meeting of the quarter at Dudley on
Saturday evening next.
THE FRENCH A cAnEmv.—The French Academy grows
inpatient at the interminable delays with which M.
Pousard puts off his inaugural address. Several acade-
micians, elected after him, have been already received.
Villemain, permanent secretary to the academy,
met M. Ponsard the other day, and accosted him in the
tollowing terms :---" You make us wait a long time for
your address, M. Ponsard ; do you think you are going
to bury us all and to pronounce our funeral eulogies ?
Take care, my dear colleague, your turn may come sooner
than you expect, and your seat become vacant before it
has been occupied."—Express.
