Mu. ILA LLAM.—We are exceedingly grieved
to state that Mr. lIALLArit, the distinguished
Author of The View qf Europe during the _Middle
Ages, has met with. a very serious accident.
While on a tour of pleasure through the Lakes
of Killarney, on the 15th ultimo, he fell from
a rock on one of the islands on the Lake, and
was precipitated about twelve feet, but upon
ground the most dangerous that can be con-
ceived ; the consequence was a fracture of the
left thigh-bone, besides bruises arid wounds on
the same side. Mr. liallam, we hope, is now out
of danger ; nor is he likely to sustain permanent
injury. lie is slowly recovering, but his confine-
ment must be extremely irksome.--(Dublin Free-
man's Journal.)

It is stated in a New York Paper, that the mo-
nument intended to be erected at Philadelphia to
the memory of WASHINGTON, is estimated to cost
67,000 Spanish dollars (about 14,5001. sterling.)
It will be constructed of marble, and will be 130
feet high; and its model is taken from the Cho-
ragic Monument of Thrasybulus at Athens. it is
said that the corner stone is to be laid by Gen.

Whatever may be the opinions of those who were instrumen-
tal in the repeal of the Combination Laws, this we venture to
say of then—they were strangers to business, to the working
orders, and to human nature. Never was there a more perni-
cious measure hazarded in Parliament than the abrogation of
those Laws, which had so long contributed to the peace and.
prosperity of the empire. It is high time that Mr. Ilu,sti: and
his supporters should know, that political freedom depens for
existence upon restrictive laws. The experience of the lest
twelve months amply strews that there can be no real freedom
of general trade in this country without a restrictive system.
Let the Legislature look to this when they next meet.
