TILE IRON AND COAL TRADES.

The iron trade is in much the same position as
it was at quarter day. The return of colliers and
miners totheir work at the drop, after a strike of
sufficient duration to severely test their credit at
the different provision shops, has ensured (with
the coal and ironstone their masters get from a
distance) a steady continuance of supply. The
" first class" houses in the iron trade have orders
in hand sufficiently abundant to keep all their
mills and forges fully employed for some time to
come. The principal complaint is that the rate of
wages and. materials are too high, if considered
as proportionable with the prices obtained. for
iron. That the latter might have ruled higher,
and have borne a more equable relation to the
cost of production, is acknowledged, but the trade
acted wisely a few months ago in reducing mer-
chant iron 10s. per ton, which, undoubtedly, gave
an impetus to the make, and the present position of
the trade is mainly attributable to this line of ac-
tion ; and, with moderate production, no doubt the
trade will, in the spring, resume its ordinarily
healthy tone. The recent disasters of South Staf-
fordshire and East Worcestershire have proved
useful to this extent, that some of the undersellers
have been weeded out of the trade, and at the pre-
sent time there is not a great deal of that sort of
thing going on. The demand for good pig iron has
not slackened since our last report. Hot blast pis
are realising £3l2s. 6d. and £3 15s. per ton, and
cold. blast £4 ss. and. £4 7s. 6d. per ton. There
is not a very brisk demand for this latter kind of
iron, it being considered too expensive for ordinary
purposes, and is only used in particular in-
stances where parties can command good prices
for the articles produced from it. The coal
trade is daily increasing in briskness, and. prices
are well maintained. Some of the colliers and.
miners, we are very sorry to say, east of Dudley
and at Cannock Chase, continue very disaffected,
and, after going in at the drop, have given notice
for a rise of wages. They have been stimulated to
do this by a number of itinerant agitators who take
' delight in setting masters and. men at variance. It
will be of no avail, as the masters are determined
not to yield to the present demands of the men, nor
will they advance their wages at all until the trade
becomes more remunerative than it is at present.
Ironstone, the yield of the district, is in good. re-
. quest, and prices have an upward tendency.— Wol-
verhamptoPt Chronicle.

TIIE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—We have much
pleasure in announcing that the direct communication be-
tween London and Paris was yesterday re-established.
It is understood that the next Deputy-Governor
of the Bank of England will bo Mr. Alfred Latham, of the
firm of Arbuthnot, Latham, and Co. The successor of Mr.
Sheffield Ncave as Governor will be Mr. Bonamy Dobree,
the present Deputy-Governor. The election takes placo in
April.
GALWAY, FRIDAY.—The Prince Albert has
Failed with her Majesty's mails, a large cargo, and 310
passengers, for Newfoundland and New York.
BOUDOIR OPERA CHOIR.—The success' that has
attended the concerts given by the Boudoir Opera choir
has been such that the managers have thought it desirable,
after giving twenty performances at the Beaumont Instate-
tion, Mile-end, the Albion Hall, Dalston, and other places,
to secure Crosby Hall, Bishopgate-street, for a limited
period, for the purpose of giving a series of concerts of the
most attractive nature. The first concert is announced for
to-morrow evening, and the programme contains some of
the choicest specimens of British and foreign musical com-
positions. It consists of selections from Verdi's opera,
11 Trovatore," Bishop's splendid trio and chorus, "The •
Chough and Crow," selections from the " Rose of Castille,"
and various other favourite morceaux. We cordially wish
the promoters of the concerts every success in their laud-
able enterprise.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government
emigrant ship Grand Trianon, 1,049 tons, Captain Alfred
Hayes, which sailed from Southampton on April 12, in
charge of Surgeon Superintendent IV. 11. Pearso, with 69
married couples, 17 single men, 95 single women, 40 boys
between the ages of 1 and 12 27 girls between the same
ages, 5 male infants and 10 female, making a total of 402
souls, equal to 3531 statute adults, arrived at Sydney, New
South Wales, on Aug. 20. Five death and six births oc-
curred during the voyage.
PROPOSED DOCKS AT BURNIIAM.—Mr. Hawk-
shaw, C.E., is at present engaged in laying down a plan for
the formation of docks and shipping places at Burnham, on
the Somersetshire coast, opposite Cardiff. Vessels can rut
from one place to the other in a single tide, and to save the
railway transit from Bristol to Burnham. This my so im-
portant an item that a considerable trade is springing up
there. Land has just been let for an entire new street, the
esplanade is being widened, and gas is being lad down..
THF. TEMPLE-GARDENS.—The fame which these
gardens have acquired for the autumnal display of chip
santhemums they offer to the gaze of the citizens of fled
metropolis is not likely to suffer by their present appeitfe
ante. On the occasion of a recent visit, however, we could
not but remark the difference of aspect presented by the two
adjacent establishments known collectively to the public as
the Temple-gardens, and belonging respectively to the Hon.
Societies of the Middle and Inner Temple. The display at
the garden of the Inner Temple, under the management of
Mr. Broome, consisted of an extensive plantation, in which
liberal treatment and pruned stems had resulted in the
production of fine foliage and large handsome individual
flowers, but as a whole scarcely sufficiently striking,
and the various other plantations in the garden were
even somewhat less attractive, having been, we wider-
stand, planted late and being much injured by recent
high winds and frosts, to which, from its larger eltds
this garden is the more exposed of the two. Some very
well managed pot plants trained to form a broad fiat
surface, have also suffered' from the same causes. In the
garden of the Middle Temple, from its more sheltered posi-
tion and less extent, a totally different aspect presented
itself; with no lack of fine individual blossoms, the
gardener, Mr. Dale, had so managed his plants that the
whole was one mass of flower. The outer borders wino
planted with taller kinds behind and dwarfer in front,
the latter being so arranged that without distortion the
foliage and blossoms were continued down to the surfacd
of the ground, the whole forming a richly variegated bank
of blossoms of all colours, such as the chrysanthemums
alone could furnish. We were also much pleased with
some dwarfed plants in beds ; in these, though a display et
spring and early summer flowers had been provided, yet
the beds were in most instances completely furnished, and
even the branches rising from 1 foot to 1 or 2 feet in the
centre, gradually decreasing to the sides, and the whole
covered with blossoms in such a way as would delight the
heart of a modern flower gardener. Some larger circular
beds were rather taller in the centre, and were planted
in sections of different colours, showing an even sur-
face of bloom which was highly effective. Mr. Dalc,

the largo flowered sorts Queen of England eest properly

were sonspicuous. The small or Pompone varieties, which
were most attractive in the massed beds and mixed borders
were argentium, a white which keeps for a long time;
Adonis, Drin Drin, a capital early flower ; Dr. Boisduval,
Aurora Borealis, President Decaisne, Helene, Bob (rather
later the foregoing, but promising to be fine), Cedo Nulli,
and Pearl, the latter a light rosy lilac everywhere conspicu-
ous in the banks of mixed colours.—Gardence s Chronicle.

in the Medical Council to be constituted under the provi-
sions of the new Medical Act. The choice was made unani-
mously—a perfectly natural event considering the high
character, great attainments, and unswerving integrity of
the much esteemed gentleman who was proposed on the
occasion. This election will excite strong feelings of sur-
prise amongst many thousands of the members of the Col-
lege, who firmly entertain the opinion, that the choice
of a representative for the Medical Council rests with
the whole body of the College' and cannot therefore
be exercised exclusively by the Council. Acting
on this view, a deputation of members waited on Mr.
Brady, M.P., on Thur day morning, and requested that ho
would allow his name to be hoisted as that of the members'
candidate. The hon. gentleman consented ; and in the even-
ing,when informed that the council had made choke of a
representative, he declared that the validity of the election
should be tested at law, and that he would stand up to the
last moment possible in contending for what he believels to
be the just, legal, and equitable claim of many thousandeoof
members of the college. Mr. Brady 2 himself,
