His Majesty has signified his intention to visit Drury-

His Majesty intends to visit the Opera House after
having been at both the Winter Theatres.
We have received letters from Mexico to the 15th
of March, at which time everything was perfectly tranquil.
We have received a file of Cape Town Gazettes to the
16th of January. The reports of the present harvest were
so favourable, that the Governor had permitted the Export
of fifteen thousand muids of wheat. The Gazette of the
15th announces the intention of communicating with India
by steam. The steam vessel, however, was not com-
pleted; but it was expected would be launched in a few
weeks.

By the Bluelirr2 from St. Domingo, accounts are re-

One-third of the Cuiree crop is destroyed. The excessive

An elegsnt dinner was given at the Assembly-rooms on
Thursday last, by several of the merchants of this town, to
Mr. Edward Hurry and Mr. J. D. Powles, of London, as
a mark of their respcct towards these gentlemen, both as
merchants and as private individuals. Mr. Fowles' on his
health being drunk, entered into an elaborate and highly-
pleasing view of the present state and prospects of South
America, and particularly of Colombia. The number that
dined was 74, in the small Assembly-room ; James Losh,
Esq. in the chair, supported by William Clark, Esq. and
Matthew Plummer, Esq. as Vice-Presidenta.—Newcastk
Chronicle.

We are requested to state, that the Resolution of the
General Committee of the British Catholic Association, to
postpone their Open Meeting, was not carried unanimously,
there having been one dissentient voice ; the word " unani-
mously" was inserted by mistake.
COMBINATION LAIVIL—A meeting was held at the
Exchange, in Dublin, on Thursday last, at which the
Lord Mayor presided, to consider what measures it might
be necessary to adopt to defeat the formidable combinetions
which have disturbed that city. From the statements
made by the several masters, it would appear that the
operatives have gone the length of systematically writing
letters, threatening death to those who refused to con-
spire with them—that the objects of their malevolence had
been pursued by " hired assassins," and that no fewer
than " twelve deliberate murders" had actually been
committed since the repeal of the Combination Laws.
Mr. Finlay addressed the meeting as Counsel for the opera-1
tives. He stated that the outrages which had occurred did
not afect the conduct of more than six trades out of sixty,
and that the remainder were wholly innocent of them. It
was, however, contended, on the other side, that all were
implicated, as they had formed a general union. Several
speakers pointed out the injurious consequences that had re-
sulted from the misconduct of the journeymen, and showed,
by reference to facts, that it had, in rations instances,
driven capital and employment from Ireland to places where
those possessing the one, or desiring the other, might find
security. Resolutions were passed foe opening a subscrip-
tion to defray the expense of prosecuting future offenders,
and it was agreed to petition Parliament on the subject.
