70 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sri;,---tathe Globe of this evening there appears!,
in a pror rnent position, a letter signed "
under the heading, "Gladstone-Manning Alliance.
In this remarkable document the writer affirms
that the secret of the alleged alliance between Mr'
Gladstone and Archbishop Manning lies in the
fact that his Grace is one of the godfathers of gr•
Gladstone's eldest son, the member for Chester.
Perhaps the writer in the Globe, or the Editor,
will inform the world how many godfathers claim
spiritual relationship with Mr. Gladstone, jull•
Hitherto we have been taught to believe that one
was sufficient.

Perhaps the writer may also be able to show wil
it is to be considered a reproach to Mr. Gladstone,
sen., that more than twenty years ago he asked
Dr. Manning, at that time a good Protestant arch'
deacon, to stand godfather to his son.—l am, Sir,
faithfully yours, VISTA.

IRaYMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING'

BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening.
The second meeting of the ironmasters of 04
district was held in the Town-hall here this after-
noon. There was a very large attendance, and the
ordinary business was diversified by electioneering+
no less than seven candidates being proposed in the
hall—namely, the four for West Staffordshire ;
Hartley, for the eastern division of that county'
Mr. Amphlett, for East Worcestershire ; and the
Liberal candidate for Wednesbury.
As at Wolverhampton the tone was a great jul"
provement on recent quarter-days. There has been
so considerable a quantity of finished iron sold
within the last fortnight that the contracts given
out to-day were not large, but a feeling of satin'
faction was expressed at the improving position 0`
the trade. Despondency has given place to con 0"
dente, and the usual class of undersellers ask front
2s. 6d. to ss. per ton more than they did three
months ago.
The Shropshire trade was represented, and tba
of North Staffordshire. There were also represeh"
tatives present from the iron-producing firms in the
north, and from the shipping houses of London,
Liverpool, and Bristol. As regards the shipPere,
there is more disposition to do business, but, Ai-
though they are not absolutely full of orders at the
most favoured works, in no instance was there Of
pressure to obtain them.
Shropshire pig realised £4 55., that being the
price of last quarter-day. A good make of Sts f"
fordshire pig, all-mine, realises £3 ss. to £3 120. 63'
per ton.
itt
In the course of the day a meeting was hel-
the Queen's Hotel, convened by the secretary of the
Noii-i:ern Iron Trade, for the purpose of nonsidef:
ing the feagbility of establishing an Iron and Steel
Institute. Mr. W. Menelaus presided. Represell:
tatives from all the ialn-making districts of Gre3!
Britain were present. The following resolutions
were passed :
4, That, in the opinion of representatives of th.:
various iron-making districts of Great Britain,it 1
desirable to take steps for the establishment of 311
Iron and Steel Institute for the discussion of prec
tical scientific questions connected with the mane"
facture of iron and steel ; secondly, that it is desir-
able to base the rules of the proposed institutil
upon the general principal adopted by the Civil 61
Mechanical Engineers and kindred societies, rigidly
excluding all questions connected with wages 311
trade regulations."
It was decided that the head-quarters of the in-
stitute should be in London ; the provisional con."
mittee was considerably extended, and it was agreed
that another meeting should be held in London W;
wards the end of November. Mr. John Jones is
act as secretary of the committee pro tem.
