The Provisional Committee, referring to the prospectus
already published, have now the satisfaction to announce that
the authorities of the War Department, after a long series of
trials and experiments, have declared the Nova Scotia iron to
be the very best they have been able to discover for their pm--
poses, and her Majesty's Government have, consequently, con-
tracted for a large supply for the use of the Royal arsenals.
This fact, in addition to the greatly-increased demand on
the part of the steel trade and the general public, renders it
imperative upon the Company to adopt the speediest mea-
sures to enlarge their means of production ; and the Com-
mittee, therefore, give notice, the share lists will be closed at
an early day.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1856.

----s-

The Members for Birmingham and Warwick-
shire displayed much virtuous indignation last
night at the Government manufacture of iron
cannon and small arms. Their constituents
naturally desired that a trade so profitable should
be allowed to remain in their own hands, and
that they should be enabled to obtain the highest
Fries for very inferior articles.

We ar3 not, generally speaking, advocates for
Government manufactures. The articles thus
