THE GRAND SCOTTISH BALL AT THE GUILDHALL*
—Yesterday the committee of management of the grand
Highland ball, to be given on the 23d inst. in Guildhall, in
aid of the institutions of the Scottish Hospital and the Cale-
donian Asylum, assembled at the Scotch Hall, in Crane-
court, Fleet-street; Lord James Stuart, M.P., in the chair.
amongst those present, Sir Duncan MoUougall,
Mr. George
There were,
monatt, M.P., Mr. John Bayley, Mr. David
Dewar, Mr. W. G. Barnes, Mr. Thomas M'Gregor, Mr. A-
Maclure, Par. J. T. Norris, &c. The committee expressed a
firm belief that the approaching ball in aid of the two great
institutions would exceed all former entertainments of the
kind in Elegance and variety, and agreed to certain regula-
tions which are to be expressed in the advertisements, one Of
them being that the number to be admitted should not exceed
2,000. Several of the members, in speaking of the royal ball,
declared that the only thing which caused any regret on that
remarkable occasion was the crowded state of the building. A
fact which would serve as a lesson to the promoters of that
which is to follow, and which is intended to be upon a similar
scale of magnificence. Without being in the slightest degree
disposed to detract from or underrate the ball which was to
take pace for the benefit of the ward schools, the committee
said tke interests of the charities were not at all likely to
come in collision' as the latter charity would be supplied
from the particular localities in which the objects were placed,
and the tickets would be distributed at a cheaper rate, Mr.
PdotLitt gave an animated description of the crowded state of
the Guildhall on Wednesday, and upon his motion, seconded
by Mr. N orris, the issue of tickets was limited to the num-
bers above stated. The committee separated, after having
received the the warmly expressed consent of the Queen and
Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent to patronise the bag
on the 23d inst.

IRON MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS.—I3I3-
31INGHAM, THURSDAY. - The first meeting of ironmasters for
the quarter was held at Walsall on Tuesday, at Wolver-
hampton yesterday, and in Birmingham to-day. The attend-
ance was not so numerous as on former occasions, and the
proceedings in the Town-hall were altogether extremely lan-
guid and inanimate. The resolution adopted at the prelimi-
nary meeting held at Stewponey a fortnight aco was cot?'
firmed by the great firms, and prices accordingly remain
nominally unaltered. It may be stated, however, that maul
sales, as anticipated, were made by parties who do not con-
sider themselves bound by the resolutions passed at the
meetings of the trade, at Prices lower than those settled at
Stewponey. The iron trade is confessedly greatly depressed,
and considerat,le difficulty is experienced in maintaining ex-
istit.g quotations.
