THE PROPOSED BANQUET TO MR. DISRAELI IN
EDINBURGIL—A meeting of Scotch Conservatives was
held in Edinburgh on Wolnesday—Mr. Dundas, of
Arniston, in the chair—at which it was resolved to invite
the Chancellor of the Exchequer to a banquet to be held
in the city. It is confidently expected that Mr. Disraeli
will accept the invitation, and, if so, the banquet will
probably take place on or about the 29th of October.
THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—About 700 tons
of pig-iron has just been despatched from South Stafford-
shire to be sent out to Abyssinia. It is understood that
the iron is intended to be cast into shot on the way out,
and that crucibles for that purpose will be taken on board
with it. The pigs aro those known as the Birchills
Furnace iron, and they were sent from Bloomfield, near
Tipton, by railway, to Victoria Basin. Though not of the
best quality of iron they are not of the worst, and will
stand the turning to which, after they have been cast, they
will have to be subjected.
THE WAGES QUESTION.—The Association of
Printers Readers' has called a meeting on the wages ques-
tion for Tuesday next, at which Charles Dickens, Esq.,
has consented to preside. it appears that the average
salary for an average week of 53 hours is a trifle over £2
(in what are called bookwork houses), and as all other
branches of the printing business have recently expe-
rienced an increase in payment, the readers, finding their
position anomalous and unsatisfactory, are about to re-
present their condition to their employers, in the hope
that it may be bettered.
THE IRON TRADE.—A steady improvement has
been observable in the South Staffordshire iron trade for
some weeks, and it still continuos. There was a good
attendance at the weekly meeting at Birmingham yester-
day afternoon, and the tone was altogether better. Addi-
tional orders have come to hand, and inquiries, which aro
probably to be followed by orders, are not infrequent.
Prices for pigs are still firm, and the demand for bars,
hoops, and sheets is good.
