of adjudication before a Magistrate. At present them
clearly no remedy left 1 r any sort of combination. gh.
Sc ARLETT, who had been advising his clients to pmeemt.e
at common law, was obliged to admit that his sup.
posed remedy was cut from under his feet. Them
seems to be no reason why the operation of the couqr.on
law should not be restored. Combinations to do evil
or inflict injury, ought to be as punishable aie„„
workmen as among any other class of the pro.,
munity. Mr. Secretary PEEL correctly stated the /lir;
ciple by which the Legislature should be guided: "
thought that individuals might do what they pleased with
their own time, but were not to dictate to others what
work they were to take, and at what price, and make
them uncomPrtable if they refused to obey the connuar24
issued to them." Mr. Bent NG had previously explaito
the meaning attached by the workmen to the term "tit.
comfortable." .They would not admit before the Com.
mittee that they used violence, but they acknowledged
that they took means to render their masters " imom.
fortalde." In Ireland, it appears, by what Sir Jos
NEN PO Rl' says, that the system of Combination has been
carried to still more unjustifiable lengths. A general
union has been formed amongst the trades, so that the
workmen in one trade are employed to revenge the sup.
posed injuries sustained by the workmen in another trade.
No greater danger can menace the rising manufactures,

that country. Mr. Szcretary PEEL, in the course of the
evening, read the regulations of a combination of the ope.
rative Coal•miners, according to which no individual is
be suffered to follow that trade, unless he has been engaged
in it since the age of sixteen years ! Can it be petenled
that the continuance of a system like this is essential to the
freedom of trade? It is obviously destructive of every
sound principle connected with that important subject.
The workmen should be free—that is to say, they should
all be free—and to ensure the freedom of them all, the
power of intimidation, whether exercised by a minoriv
or a majority, must be completely abolished.

CITY, IFTONESDAY EvEYII2p.
The whole attention of speculators is now absorbed in the English
Market, and Consols have just now more business done in ;heat
than has taken place for the last two years. The fluetucona of
this morning have beet; as marked as those of yesterday, but they
have varied from them in one respect ; they have been unaccom-
panied by any new reports of a political nature. The pea: cuts
assigned for the decline tills morning was, that an emineet upitaliet
had sold four millions of stock. Certain it is that the depression
that has occurred within these few days, and which originated in
the operations of jobbcts, has been considerably increased by the
panic that holders were seized with at the various rumours that
were afloat, and which consequently produced very have sales;
and the anticipation of still heavier ones, previous to a dissolution
of Parliament, which, amor.g those who have the greatest Moro
on the Funds, is considered as settled, has a strong tendency to
render them heavy, We will now proceed to give the various
quotations of the clay :--Consols for Money were done at 90j j It,
for the Account the quotations were 94 j. We heard dims
few bargains were done at 891, but we could not trace any trees.
actions done at that price.

The English and Foreign Markets have completely changed
places u to business ; and we have only to state with respect to the
latter, that scarcely any business was done in it. The Old Spanish
Bonds were at 231 4, and the New 1114 ; the Greek Bonds were
511, and the Scrip 5 agi ; Colombian Bonds On, and Mexican
Scrip dia.; Brazilian diuo was 4 to 1 pentium, and Danish
ditto 2i j dia.

In the Share Market, which was equally with the Foreign Stock
Market deserted, Anglo-Mexicans were done at 90, PUCOS at l j v,
and the New Potosi at
It the Colonial Market there were some large sales of 54&t
fair prices; the quotations of coffee are lower.

Some of our contemporaries have stated that a reaction
has already taken place in the state of the Exchanges, sod
that gold was again returning from the Continent. The
course of events is certainly likely to produce that reaction,
and very soon ; but we can state upon the best authority
that no Bold has as vet been imported:
The Duke of York is expected to arrive at Audley
House this evening from Newmarlet.
Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester and the Prine:st
Sophia visited the Princess Augusta.
The Duke of Wellington and Count Munster, the Ha-
noverian Ambassador, had audiences of the King yesterday.
Mr. Huskisson gave a grand dinner yesterday to t 6
Cabinet Ministers, at his residence in Somerset-pace.

Dean AND Dt:CDESS OF NOkTIIIIMBERL•ND:—DOYIr6,
MAY 3.—This morning, about half-past eight, the guts
from the heights announced the arrival of their Graces the
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The carriage
drove up to Payer's York Hotel, amidst an amazing =-
course of persons who were assembled to witness their ar-
rival. The whole of the suite, consisting of Lady W. W.
Wynn, Lady Clive, Lord Prudhoe, Marquis Carmarthen,
Lord Hervey, Earl of Hopetoun, Lord Pelham), Captain
Buller, Rev. Mr. Singleton, with their numerous ser.

her Gre.ce, about ten o'clock, entered the carriage, and
drove alongside the Comet steam-vessel, and imme-
diately embarked. The Duke and the other Noblemen
walked down, and embarked under a second salute from
the fortress. At the moment of embarkation the Royal
standard was hoisted at the main, and the union jsck at
the foremast head. The harbour at this titre present-
ed a most interesting and animated scene; the quays. and
both pier heads, being covered with people. His taace

board the Lightning steam vessel. The Brazen sloop of
war, C,apt. Willis, came into the roads early this merume
to escort his Grace to Calais. She fired a salute, and
got under weigh in the most beautiful style as the steam
vessel came up with her.
The Earl of Clanricarde, with his beautiful Countesaar,l
suite, arrived ,at Portumna abut Ave o'clock on Saturday
evening last. They were met on the Tipperary side of the
Bridge by all the respectable inhabitants of the town, and
a vast concourse of his Lordship's tenantry, who, rhea
they arrived at the Counau,sht side, took the horses
from the carriage, and drew it along. preceded 11y
a band of music, formed by the young men of the
town, and several more on horsebleici bearing white wards.

with various devices) over the carriage—the populace fre-
quently cheering as they advanced. Never was there
such enthusiastic joy manifested as on this occasion
it may be justly said, that the road and fields on either
side literally teemed with human forms for a distance of
two miles. When arrived at Portumna Castle, his Le!il-

We yesterday noticed the formation of a Corapsnl
called " The I{ingsfield and Pcake Association," the Dr
rectors of which have obtained grants for working the L,141.
mines in that district of the county of Derby. Fran!
facts that have come to our knowledge respecting then'„
tended operations of this Company, we Incline to the Ile
lief that the objects of It si ill be of great public benefit.
The direction is in the hands of gentlemen who know
how
to grail themselves of the advantage these mines are -
liable of yielding to those concerned with thorn.. The
lead produced from the Derbyshire mines is supenced,to
any other. The best white paint is made from it, and. .e.
business of plumbers partieulerly requires it,
of a softer quality, and consequently calculated fcr (.112r,

From these circumstances Derbyshire lead bean
