---------------CHURCH ASSOCIATION…
CHURCH ASSOCIATION MEETING AT DENBIGH. The half yearly meeting of the association was held at the County Hal], on Friday last, there being present amongst others-the Rev. E. Smart, who, as vice- president took the chair in the absence of Captain Pennant; the Very Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph; the Revs. David Lewis, Trefnant; Lewis Lewis, Nantglyn W. LI. Nicholos, Rhyl 1. Jones, Bodfari; Lewis Wil- liams, Prion; D. A. Lewis and W. Morgan, Denbigh D. Hughes, Caerwys; H. Humphreys, Henllan 5 W. Rees, Llangwfawr j Mesar. A. E. Turnour, M.D., hon. see.; T. Casson, Denbigh; J. R. Heaton, Plas Heaton; Morgan Owen, H.M.I. of Schools; R. Humphreys Roberts, Denbigh. The meeting was opened with prayer by the rector of the parish. Letters of apology were received from Mr Gold Edwards, Captain Pennant (the president), and the Rev. Canon Wynne Edwards, the latter writing to say that he was sorry that the plan of redistribution of the parishes of Llanrhaiadr, Denbigh, and Nantglyn had Hot yet keen completed. It was, however, only waiting for the decision of Her Majesty in Council, the question, as it related to Prio*, was still in the hands of the secretary to the Ecclesiastical Comtnissioners. The Rev. E. Sajart said that all the incumbents had signed the necessary documents, so that the delay was not due te local causes. THE PATRONAGE IN WULSH DIOCESES. The President remarked that the report about to be red on the question of the patronage in the diocese was mainly due to the exertions of the Rev. D. Lewis, rector cf Trefnant, who b&d taken all the trouble upon himsolf, and to whom feo was sure they would feel thc;r thanks were due for so valuable a document. The Rev. David Lewis then read the report, of which the following is a copy j— To the President ef Y-he Church Association for the Rural Deaneries of St. Asaph, Denbigh, arid: Dyffryn Clwyd. The Committee ointed at the last meeting of the members of the Association to report upon the transfer of patronage from the Northern to the Southern Sees, have given the subject their best consideration, and submit the following statement as the result of their labours. Youroernmittee wish, at the outset, to guard themselves against being supposed to have any intention of casting a reILection in any way upon the manner in which the So Wales Bishops have hitherto exercised the right of patronage then transferred to them, or upon the character of the gentlemen presented to these livings. In the yea>r 1836 a Bill was passed through Parlia- ment (Act i -and 7 William IV chapt. 77) intituled an act for carrying into effect the reports of the commis- sioners appointed to consider the state of the Establish- ed Churchin England and Wales with reference to ecclesiastical duties and revenues so far as they relate to Episcopal revenue and patronage," (August 13, 1836). Provision was made by this act for, amongst other things, uniting the two Sees of Gloucester and Bristol, Sodor and Man, and Carlisle, and the two Sees of Bangor and St. Asaph, and for the purpose of apportion- ing the income of the suppressed Welsh See to the en- dowment of a new one at Manchester. Provision was also made fey the same Act for equalising the incomes, and re-apportioning the patronage of the Bishops of England and Wales. The scheme for the suppression of one of the Welsh Sees met with considerable and increasing opposition as a cruel and impolitic Act, and on July 26, 1846, Earl Powis proposed in the House of Lords the second reading of a Bill for rescinding the Act so far as it referred to the fusion of the Welsh Sees, and for their preservation intact. This was carried by a majority of ten, and the leader of the Opposition deolared that though personally averse to the Bill he weruld take no further steps in the matter, and the Bill ultimately passed. A Board of Eoclesiastical Commissioners was ap- pointed by Parliament to carry out the other provisions of the Act (6 and 7 William IV chap. 77); the first clause of which (being the 40th proposition in the 3rd report of the Church Inquiry Commissioners) runs as follows :— That such alterations be made in the apportionment or exchange of ecclesiatical patronage among the several bishops as shall be consistent with the relative magni- tude and importance of their dioceses when newly arranged, and as shall afford an adequate quantity of patronage to the bishops of the new Sees." It was a long time before this clause was carried out in Wales. The task of arranging the details was undertaken by Sir John Lefevre, who drew up an outline of the scheme which he proposed to his brother commissioners. The principle of the transfer having been settled by the Board, the Lord Bishop of St Asa.ph-Bishop Short— was desired by them to select so many livings of such an aggregate value from his patronage, with the view of their being distributed between the two South Wales dioceses. The principles on which Bishop Short made his selection were as follows, as he explained them in his charge to the clergy in July, 1862* ;—he retained all the livings of small value, because they would add but little to the aggregrate sum required; he consi-dered the bishop to be by far the best patron of small livings in his own diocese. He retained also all the town livings, which from their population or circumstances seemed important to the good of the diocese he concluded that the bishops of St Asaph would be more likely to select well for their spiritual provision than any other bishop. Your committee forbear to dwell upon the injustice of this summary mode of dealing with the Church in- matters of such importance as that of re-modelling the Cathedral chapters, and re-apportioning the patronage of the cure of souls, and especially the attempt to abolish three of her Dioceses, happily fustrated as respects one of her most ancient Welsh Sees. The Church was in no way consulted in the matter, and the Churchmen of the diocese of St Asaph knew absolutely nothing of this new arrangement until they saw in the London Gazette an order in council dated July 26th, 1861, transferring by authority of an Act of Parliament" the patronage of twenty-four benefices in the diocese of St. Asaph from the bishop of that diocese to the Bishop of Llandaff and his successors, and six benefices of the present diocese of St. Asaph to the Bishop of St. David's and his successors. Some of these cures of souls are the most important, and (which however is of more second- ary consideration) the most valuable, in the diocese of St. Asaph. The patronage of the following benefices in the Dio- cese of St. Asaph has been thus transferred to the Bishop of Llandaff Benefice.

Llanfwrog Denbigh 486 Llansannan 416 Llantysilio Montgomery 465 TOTAL f,2,952 Nine of these transferred benefices are within the limits of these three associated deaneries. Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the time by the laity, as well as well as the clergy. An impartial con- sideration even now, and sixteen years experience of the existing arrangement cannot but lead to 4nisgiviiigs as to the soundness and effectiveness of the scheme which was then called into existence. It can be considered satisfactory neither to the bishops of St. Asaph, who still have the spiritual supervision and care of all the Churches in this diocese, nor still less to the bishops of South Wales, because one of the results of the transfer is that when an eligible piece of preferment in this diocese, but in the patronage of the southern bishops, becomes vacant, if they promote the most deserving, the bishops of South Wales will by that very act deprive themselves of the counsels and co-operation of the most experienced of their clergy, and the diocese will lose the valuable services of one of its most active parish priests. The late Bishop Short in his charge previously re- ferred to (p.p. 14, 17), says Looking back on all that has taken place I am sorry that the question should have been so ruled by Parliament as it was in 1836 I esteem the case wrong, because, as the benefit of the parishioners is the point to be kept in view, and not the benefit of the patron or the clergy- man presented, I deem that a bishop in his own diocese would be more likely to present the best incum- bent, than the Bishop of another diocese, who could not be so well acquainted with the circumstances of the parish." This, it should be observed, is the solemn ex- pression of Bishop Short's deliberate opinion in his first charge to his clergy after the transfer had been accomplished. There is nothing to show that his experience during the subsequent years of his Episco- pate modified in any way the opinion which he at first formed. It is obvious to remark that the policy which gives a bishop large and valuable patronage outside the limits of his own See must be a mistake if it can be avoided. As Bishop Short forcibly pointed out in the same charge, page 16, such an arrangement must injuriously affect the Southern Sees. We may hope (Bishop Short observes, with good-tempered sarcasm,) that the present are, and that the future bishops of South Wales will be, honest bishops, and having so much patronage of the Northern Sees will select the best of their incum- bents, for most of the livings now transferred are good A charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of St. Asaph, at the Triennial Visitatian, July, lS2, T.

While hoping that increased patronage may be the means of enabling the South Wales bishops to enlist the Services, and to retain a better class, of men, your committee cannot help feeling that the scheme, as at present arranged, is prejudicial to the dioceses of Llandaff and St. David's, without conferring on thi6 diocese adequate benefits to compensate for so serious a loss of patronage. Your committee would, therefore, recommend that the attention of the Bishop of St. Asaph should be drawn to the nature and working of this readjustment of patronage, and that he should be re- spectfully requested to consult with the other bishops of Wales as to the best means of remedying the present very unsatisfactory scheme. Your committee further suggest that with respect to St. David's, as will be seen by appendix "A," this might be done by an exchange of patronage between the Bishop of St. David's on the one hand, and the Crown and the Lord Chancellor on the other. With respect to the diocese of Llandaff, however, the remedy is not so obvious or easy; for the exchange here suggested has, it appears, been already carried out in the case of six benefices transferred in 1861, from the patronage of the Bishop of St. Asaph to that of the Bishop of Llandaff (namely, Bettwscaedewen, Castle Caereinion, Llanfihangel-yn-Ngwynfa, Llangyniew, St. Martin, and Moreton), which have been subse- quently retransferred to the gift of the Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor has now only the patronage of one living in the diocese of Llandaff, namely, Llan- fihangel-Crucorney, £200 and a house. The Crown has the patronage of five livings (Beaufort, ZSOO Cyfarthfa, £ 300 and house; Nantyglo, 2300 and house Penmaen, 2300; Skewen, jEZOO) in Llandaff dtocese alternately with the bishop. These alternate presentations might be -exchanged for equivalant patronage in the diocese of St. Asaph, but now in the gift of the Bishop of Llan- daff. In the diocese of Llandaff the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester are patrons of five livings; Dean and Chapter of Bristol, of 2; Jesus College, Oxford, is patron of 3; Eton College, 4 Earl of Abergavenny, 10 Duke of Beaufort, 11; the Marquess of Bute, 10; the Earl of Dunraven, 6; Lord Tredegar, 4; Lord Windsor 3; and 58 others have an aggregate patronage of 81 livings in Llandaff diocese. If these lay and clerical bodies can tie induced to exchange patronage which they now possess in the dioceses of Llandaff and St, David's fer patronage of equal value in the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor, but at present in the gift of the Bishops of Llandaff and St. David's, it must be attended with great relief to the South Wales bishops, and it weuld also at the same time benefit the two Northern Sees without in any way diminishing the patronage of the lay and clerical bodies referred to. It can be a matter of no conse- quence to the Crown or the Lord Chancellor whether their patronage is in a Northern or Southern Diocese. MR. J. 11. HEATON, Plas Heaton. ME.

Mr Lewis said that the suggestion they made was that there was a living in the diocese of Llandaff, or St. David's, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, that the Lord Chancellor should give the patronage of that living to the bishops of St. David's or Llandaff, and take a living held by them in the diocese of St. Asaph, which would enable the South Wales bishops to keep their clergy, and give the clergy of this diocese a chance of such livings. Many of the clergy, preferred from South to North Wales, feel the change very much, being amongst strangers, and would often be glad to return. Some members of the meeting did not quite see how the change would benefit the diocese, but Mr Lewis pointed out that if a good living falls vacant then the clergy of St. Asaph diocese would have a chance of it, whereas now, of course, the Bishop of St. David's appoints oae cf his own clergy. The Rev W. LI. Nicholas: But it does not follow that the Lord Chancellor will necessarily choose from St. Asaph he would have the whole country to select from. Mr Smart: But the clergy in St. Asaph would have equal chance; now they have not. The Rev D. Lewis And the southern bishops will be able to keep their best men. The Rev L. Lewis, of Nantglyn, said Bishop Thirlwall was once remonstrated with for an appointment he made to North Wales, and he replied, Do you think I am going to send my best men to North Wales; nothing of the kind (hear, hear). Some discussion having taken place in reference to an appointment made to a living in Denbighshire, The Dean said there was a great deal of difference between mixed patronage, which was perhaps a great good, and patronage exercised in one diocese by the bishop of another diocese (hear, hear). He thought they were very much indebted to Mr Lewis for that able paper, and that it ought to be printed, for it was a very important report. A deputation ought to make it known to the Bishop of St. Asaph, and if the associations at Wrexham and Mold were asked to take action on it, it would te much better than if they acted alone. Mr Mo gloU Ower, R.M I.S., moved that the report be adopted, printed, and distributed. He condemned the practice complained of in the report, and thought it acted prejudicially to the clergy and the diocese. He would not place any obstacle in the way of younger clergy from South Wales coming amongst them as curates (hear, hear), but he was decidedly of opinion that the elder clergy should remain in their own dioceses. The Rev L. Lewis, Nantglyn, said he was an old South Walian, although he had been in North Wales for many year?, and he believed that clergy removed here in advanced life would be glad to return afterwards. He thoroughly agreed with the report, and begged to second it. It was eventually agreed that the report, when printed, be sent to all the Welsh bishops, rural deans. and other ecclesiastics, to members of that and other Church associations, and ts other personages. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS. The Dean called attention to the fact that there was a want of systematic collection on behalf of the diocesan societies, and that two of them, the Church Extension and the Board of Education, were suffering in conse- quence. He asked for a committee to be appointed to consider the whole question and report to a special meet- ng called early in July.—After some conversation, a committee was appointed, consisting of laymen and clergy, to meet early in June, at Denbigh. The Rev W. LJ. Nicholas, Rhyl, brought before the meeting the desirability of the clergy always giving to persons visiting Rhyl in the summer, or, indeed, going from their parishes at any time, a card of recommenda- tion to the clergy of the parish where they were about to settle, so that they might be properly visited. Now it often happened thdt through want of this, servants particularly, were often lost to the Church, as, if they went into Nonconformist families, they went to chapel, but more frequently did not go anywhere.—The Rector of Denbigh said they had a female friendly society at Deabigh which provided for what Mr Nicholas suggested. It seemed generally agreed by the clergy to act upon the suggestion in future. There was no other business before the meeting.

Goldsmid at the Waterloo terminus, and said that instructions had been given to Colonel Yolland to institute an inquiry as to the accident. Attention was called by Mr James te the parochial charities of the city of London, and by Mr Gregory to the report of the committee on the Joint Stock Com- panies Acts. Discussions took place on both these matters. Dr Kenealy was complaining of the inter- ference which had been exercised in his case in putting questions to the members of the Government when the House was counted out at seven o'clock. MONDAY. The Lords re-assembled to-day after the Easter recess. Earl Granville gave notice that he would raise the question whether the employment of Indian troops in time of paace elsewhere than in her Majesty's Indian possessions without the consent of Parliament was con- stitutional. Earl De La Warr elicited the official information that the Attorney-General will introduce into the house of commons a bill founded on the recom- mendations of the select committee on employers' liability for injuries to their servants. In the Commons the subject of the employment of the native Indian troops in Europe was brought under notice in various forms. The Marquis of Hartington gave notice of his intention to move, on an early day, the following resolution—"That no force shall be raised or kept by the Crown in time of peace, without the sanction of Parliament, in any of her Majesty's dominions exclusive of India." The Chancellor of the Exchequer declined to name a day for the discussion of Mr Chamberlain's motion on the Eastern policy of the Government, though the Marquis of Hartington pointed out that his motion and that of the honourable member for Birmingham touched two different phases of the subject. Mr H. Vivian, in resuming the adjourned debate on the motion for the third reading of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, criticised the action of the Government in reference to the Indian troops and in regard to Eastern affairs generally. Sir Stafford Northcote made a long statement in vindication of the Government policy. He pointed out that if the policy of Ministers in bring the Indian troops to Malta was objected to as unconstitutional, the question ought to be raised in another form and on a more suitable occasion; whereas if the hon. member challenged their financial policy he ought to have abstained from criticisms on their policy and general conduct. The reason that he made no statement regarding the move- ment of Indian troops when he introduced the budget was that he was not then in a position to do so. He could not have said that the measure had been deter- mined in such a manner as to enable him to lay an estimate on the table. Whether it was the duty of the Government, before taking a step of the kind, to obtain the approval of Parliament was a question svbjudice, and they would be prepared at the right time to argue that they were not subject to any obligation of the sort; and if they were not under such an obligation the question was whether it was expedient, before their minds were made up, to raise a discussion on the matter. He contended that it was not, and, moreover, that the course adopted had left the constitutional control of Parliament entirely untouched. Ministers believed that they were justified both by the letter and the spirit of the constitution in the action they had taken, and that when challenged they would be able to justify all they had done. The debate was continued by several hon. members, and on a division the third reading of the bill was carried by 111 to 19—a majority of 92. The sitting was prolonged to 9.30 on Tuesday morning—having last In hours. The bone of conten- tion was the Irish Sunday closing bill, and the time was wasted on alternate motions for reporting progress and that the chairman leave the chair, but eventually a compromise was arrived at, to the effect that the amendments to clause 1 would be withdrawn, with the exception of Mr M. Downing's, which embodied the principle of most of the others. TUESDAY. In the Lords, the Duke of Richmond acceded to the request of Lord Selborne that the debate on the con- stitutional question involved in the transfer of Indian troops to Malta without the consent of Parliament having been obtained should take place on Monday next. On the motion for the third reading of the bishoprics bill, Lord Rosebery moved an amendment to the effect that any need there may be for an increase of bishops should be met by an addition to the number of suffragan bishops. After some discussion, the amend- ment was rejected, and the third reading agreed to. In the Commons the Mersey Docks and Harbour Bill and the Manchester Corporation and Water Bill were read a third time and passed. It having been agreed ftfct the Marquis of Hartington's motion on the Eastern question should be taken on Monday, Mr Fawcett with- drew the motion on the same subject of which he had given notice. Mr Osborne Morgan moved for a select committee to inquire into the subject of land registra- tion, and to report whether any and what steps ought to be taken to simplify and secure the title to land, and to facilitate the transfer thereof. During the discussion, Mr Rathbone argued on behalf of the working man in favour of the transfer of land being made as cheap as possible, for there was nothing in which he could put his savings so advantageously as into land. In the end, the Attorney-General assented to the appointment of the committee asked for, and Mr Morgan having ac- cepted a suggestion that the inquiry should be extended to the question of fraud, the motion was agreed to. WEDNESDAY. In the Commons, Mr Meldon moved the second read- ing of the Borough Franchise (Ireland) Bill, the object ef which is to assimilate the borough franchise in Ireland to that in England, but based on a rating of £1. The measure is identical with the scheme which the hon. member submitted on several previous session*, and which the House has always rejected by consider- able majorities. In the course of the debate, the Attorney General for Ireland opposed the bill, on the fround that the circumstances of Irish boroughs and of Inglish boroughs were not identical. Besides, the question of the borough franchise could not be dealt with apart from the question of a redistribution of seats if they were ever to arrive at a practical settlement of the matter, and this the bill altogether ignored. Mr Lowther commented upon the absence of argument in favour of the bill, and was of opinion that, if passed, it would have the effect of swamping the property and intelligence of the country by the dead weight of numbers. The bill was thrown out by 228 to 197. Mr O'Donnell moved the second reading of the Queen's Colleges and University (Ireland) Bill, which was rejected by 232 to 26. The Public Health Act (1875) Amendment Bill was read a third time, and the Acknowledgment of Deeds by Married Women (Ireland) passed through committee. THURSDAY. In the Lords, Lord Shaftesbury, in presenting a petition referring to the factories and workshops bill, which was read a third time, referred to the outrages perpetrated in certain districts of this county, and said he was firmly convinced they were the work of the idle, the vagabond, and the worthless, of whom there were many in every large town. Earl Delawarr moved for copies of correspondence between the War-office and boards of guardians relative to the allowances to the wives and children of the Army Reserve men who have been called into active service. The motion was withdrawn on the appeal of the Premier, who said the subject was under the considera- tion of the Government. In the Commons, the Lancashire riots formed the subject of interrogations, and the Home Secretary said in reply that he had telegraphed for full information and the steps that would be taken to restore order. No one regretted more than he did that such riots had been committed. Major O'Gorman gave notice that he would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a series of questions with regard to the strike. The Speaker, however, ruled that the notice, in its present form, was inadmissible. In answer to a remark as to the holding of assizes, the Home Secretary admitted that the group- ing of counties had been carried to excess, and said that the rjuestion of what would be the best arrangement for holding assizes in different parts of the country was under consideration. The house afterwards went into committee of supply.
ELECTION NEWS.
ELECTION NEWS. CARMARTHEN. Mr Benjamin Thomas Williams, Q.C., of Harcourt- buildings, Temple, and of Merryvale, Narbeth, Pem- brokeshire, who has been returned for the Carmarthen boroughs without opposition is the eldest son of the late Rev T. R. Williams, of Merryvale, by his marriage with Mira, only child of Mr B. R. Thomas, of Narbeth, and was born in the year 1832. He was educated at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated in due course. Called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Gray's Inn, in Hilary Term, 1859, he joined the South Wales and Chester Circuit, and obtained the honour of a silk gown in 1875. He was appointed Recorder of Carmarthen about six years ago. Mr Williams, who now enters Parliament for the first time, is a magistrate for the county of Pembroke, and a member of the Councils of Glasgow University and the University College of Wales. He married, in 1857, Margaret, only daughter of Mr T. John, of Dolemain. His return on the present occasion leaves the political representation of the constituency unaltered, as Sir Arthur Cowell Stepney was a Liberal. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. In a convocation, held on Monday morning, Mr J. G. Talbot was nominated by the president of St. John's College; and Professor H. J. S. Smith by the Dean of Christ Church. The dean, in his speech, dealt upon the scientific and literary qualifications of Mr Smith, his ability in business and in debate, his sauvity and fair- ness of judgment, conciliating the regard of all. The president of St. John's, in nominating Mr Talbot, pointed out the undesirableness of withdrawing Mr H. Smith from the professional duties and the sciences which lie 'adorned, and urged the custom of the university to select for its representative a man of tried parliamentary position. Such was Mr Talbot, a strenuous defender of the Church, and an enemy of revolution at home, and of the violation of treaties, and the rupture of peace abroad. The first return issued gave Mr Talbot 142 votes and Professor Smith 134, and when the poll closed for the day the numbers were Mr Talbot, 476; Professor Smith, 416. Amongst those who voted for Mr Talbot during the first day were Sir Michael H. Beach, M.P the Solicitor-General, Lord Crichton, Sir F. A. Ouseley, Hon. G. T. Kenyon, Hon. A. A. Hanbury, Mr T. C. Baring, M.P., Canon Heurtley. On subsequent days there voted for him Major H. R. Hughes, of Ystrad the Rev. W. H. Williams, M.A., rector of Bodelwyddan Sir Baldwyn Leighton, &c. Professor Smith's supporters included the Right Hon. W. Knatchbull Hugessen, Sir C. i Forster, M.P., Deans of St. Paul's, Canterbury, West- minster, and Winchester, Professor Goldwin Smith, &c. The voting was continued with greater vigour on Tuesday, the return being Talbot, 1,180; Smith, 660. On Wednesday it was Talbot, 1,963; Smith, 819; and on Thursday Talbot, 2,459; Smith, 929. READING, The nomination for Reading took place on Tuesday morning. There were only two candidates nominated, Mr George Palmer, biscuit manufacturer (Liberal), and Mr Richard Attenborough, of Whitley-grove, Reading (Conservative). The Liberals are confident on account of Mr Palmer's local influence. The iconservatives think they will snatch a victory in favour of the Government. COUNTY DOWN. The nomination of candidates for the representation of County Down took place on Tuesday in the Court- house, Downpatrick. Viscount Castlereagh, Conserva- tive, was proposed by Colonel Forde, and Mr Andrews, Q.C., Liberal, was nominated by Mr Crawford. The polling took place on Friday (yesterday). WEST KENT. Lord Lewisham, Conservative, was on Wednesday elected without opposition to the seat for West Kent, vacated by Mr J. G. Talbot, also a Conservative.

iTfabe ana <J5ommtrrc. aWN. BARROW -IN-FURNES9, Monday.—There was muck quietness observable on 'Cliantre this morning and the position of the market wa, unchanged from last week. Busi- ness is languid in the iron trade, and bvtvers are not disposed to place many orders. Makers, as wes'rep.* ed last week, are disposed to accept large specifications at easier prices than have lately been ruling, but official quotations are steady. The output of the furnaces is maintained and stocks represent about an average, but at so lie works makers have cleared out all their warehoused iron. A large amount of scrap iron has lately be. n disposediof. Steelmakers are fairly at work, and it is obvious from t&eir present position the business doing and the inquiry for forward delivery now experienced that a continued good market will exist for steel, but this can only be th<» case so lonij as tl)or, I Ile of this metal is kept at its present low rate. Iron shipbuilders are looking out for new work, but orders 01-3 few and pricrg very low. Iron ore is steady at unchanged price' Co d in limited consumption, but values are steady Shio'-ine- is fairly employed. s MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday. Large attendance.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—A more inactive market than that of this afternoon there has not been for many weeks past. The course of prices and of bu 4i ness at Middlesborough is reflected upon this exchange. No one would buy this afternoon beyond immediate urgent needs The few orders which m glit have "eon given out. were held back for lower terms, bat the market is receiving only few inquiries of any sort nevertheless the nsrsregate of iron rolled has not decreased ou the weok. Another blast furnace at Tipton and another finished ironwork at Bilston have been re-started. BIRMINGHAM:, Thursday;-There was atrain very Iiitle business doue at, to-day's meeting of the South StaiWJshire iron trade. and the slnrnt improvement noticed last wt"ek waa sc ircely maintained. There was also less firmness shown by sillers, and more-anxiety on their put to do busin-ss but there were few orders distributed. The inclination to make concessions, however, applks oidy to p-n iron and uubiauded bars, makers of best brands still holiiiis out for the list price arranged upon eight months Rg,,), zCS 10s pr r t Un- marked bars could be had at a little under £6 per ton Northern competition continues to »dverS3ly affect Soutk Staffordshire, und hi, brought down pi- iron in the midland district at least 2s 6d per ton.

Potato planting having been liir.s-Uea and the sowing of mangolds well advanced, turnip-owing will now be speedily proceeded with. Spring com crops are lookin* well, especially beans and the pasture hinds, both ver- ruasicut and artificial, give evidence of luxu^-i int vitaliiv. In Scotland, farm work is vroil advr»i.cod mucli of th# harit ► y aided. The appearance of the wheat pi tut leaves h- .ie to be desired, er.cept on some of the ai.tnmn^owii t: lis, where weeds are becoming troublesome whilst barlev and oats are vegetating well aud rapidly. English wbeat has soul slo v.Iy, ooth at Mark-lane and in the provincial market*, and -ast week s prices have been with difficulty maintained, eveti.for tne choicest parcels. Tko week's imn, rtg of foreign v.-hca^ m.o London have been fair, but not excessive, s-.ifliviem to meet the ordinary wants of the couutry without ) swelling stocks.
