the Coraini;tee should have 11,11 power to decide ;
and Coat ...dim- O'Connell moved, as an amend-

his very proper allfl di;Znified conduct in the chair,
the Meeting adjourned to Wednesday next (to-
morrow), at three o'clock, to receive the report

and pretensions of those who compose it. On the
whole, the Company is constituted of performers,
from whom much rational enjoyment may be ex-
pected. It is less remarkable !or very distinguish-
ed, than for very good abilities; but the excellence
of a performance, like good musical harmony, does
not alway depend so much upon individual soperio•
tits, as upon the judicious associat'.on of letts pre-
tending abilities ; and we may expect,. therefore,
to see the Company about to c,ontnetice its ope-
rations produce very fiakhed and satisfactory-stage
representations. 'The course of the season will
bring about occasional important recruitments of
its strength, and demonstrate bow anxiously and
earnestly the Patentee will devote his efforts and
resources to the public entertainment.
The new Theatre will certainly open on Mon-
day.--The demand for Box-places is unprece-
dented.

• FATAL EFFECTS OF COMBINATION.
Between the hours of five anti six o'clock on
Saturday morning, a most violent attack:was made
by some journeymen carpenters on the men in
the employment of Mr. Carolan, of Moland-
street. A luau, of the name of Chalks Roxion,
when going to his work, was way-laid near Mr.
Carolan's door, by a party armed with bludgeotis,
and severely beaten. Mr. Carolan and his sons,
having come out to his assistance, found it neces-
sary to arm themselves with pistols and bayonets,
They were opposed by these lawless combiuntors,
and an affray of a desperate nature ensued
Some of the carpenters were severely wouudet!,
and among the norther Patrick M'Dounell,
who had resided in Hoey's-court, and who
has since died of his wounds in Jervis-street Hos-
pital. Ott Sunday Ott Inquest was hell oil the
hotly betore 'Alderman Drury Jones, when, after
the examination of several witnesses on both
sides, the Jury returned the following verdict :
" That the deceased came by his death in conse-
quence of a wound indicted in the side by a sharp
instrument." Another roan, named Walter De-
lany, also wounded, has been committed to New-
gate. Laminations have been lodged against
some others, who can be identified. Perhaps it
is but justice to our vigilant Police Establishment
to mention, that this melancholy occurrence took
place at an hour when the night pat role had been
just discharged; and when, consequently, they had
;lot et that moment the means of bending a suffi-
cient force to apprehend the ringleaders.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

According to our plat) of preserving to our
Readers the sentiments of the Paoeftsicfae and
LONDON Jot/to:ALS, upon all matters of public
interest, we have selected the following article
front The (Dublin) Correspondent, a Paper distin-
guished for loyalty and good tense :
" The debate in the House of Commoos on Wed.
nesdsy,is of such inninsic importanceornd the inte-.,
rest involved in it is so enhanced by chconistances,
that we should not be forgiven by our Readers,
who rely upon The Correspondent for ample, as
well as for faithful .no I oonation conceit-sting 01,01,4
passes, if we did not lay the debate before Iltetn
without curtailment or couttaction. It will strike
our Readers that the objections which have beets
alleged to the prelim ieary mode ot proc, eding in
the ease of the Queen have been most ably end
sarisfactorily refuted. The reference made by hit
Majesty to his Perliarnioo; for their anvice and
counsel, in a matter which streets so 'deeply the
dignity and honour of the Royal State itself,
could not, by any fair or open -mode of deeding,
be perverted into a Secret Tribunal, for nessiog
judgment upon her Alajesty,.; and nothing
can demonstrate plainer the diffcttlty ot sup.
porting such a perversion of tit COWS( atter, than
the struggles, and refinements, tine the subtle dis-
tinctions, adopted by Mr. Brougham, tai h that
intent, in his reply to Lord Casilereagh. The re-
ference of the present case to a Secret Committee,
selected from each House 01- t by his
present Majesty, cannot be called a Set ret Tri-
bunal with inure reason, than the Conitnission
which sat, selected and appoilited by his late ea-
jest y, that Delicate lit vestigatioo, which is
not yet quite worn out of the Public recollection.
Nor can it lye forgotten, tiptoe adverting to this
transaction in the late reign, that the result of
that investigation was not altogether an attesta-
tion of the propriety ot the 'illustrious person who
was the subject of it. It is true that the Noble.-
men—men ot the first character in the Empire—
to whom the late King issued his wdi i aot for this
Secret Investieation, a,:qtritied the theft Princess of
the most serious part of the charges alleged against
her ; yet, they reported in regard to " oi her per.
oculars alleged respecting the conduct of her
Royal flightless, such as must, especially consi.-
tiering her high rank and station, necessarily give
occasion to very unfavourebie interptetatiutts, that
those circumstances must he credited until tee)),
should receive sowe decisive coutratlictioo ; am!
that, if true, they were justly entitled to the most
serious consideration."—The Whigs, upon this
report—the querulous champions of female
honour now, being then Ministers—in a Cabinet
Minnie, advised the King, their Master, " by at
serious adinottilion, to convey to her Royal !Welts
Itess his Majesty's expectation, that she should be
more circumspect in her fit toe coodoct."
" In recalling this unfortunate matter, it is
desirable to recollect the temperance of language
made use of by those who were at that time in op.
positko to the general po;icy or the Cabinet, ,tort
to contrast their behaviour With that of the party
who are now not only opposed to the titivate).
