SONS OF THL CLERGY.

Ftiday the Anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy
was held at St. Paul's Cathedral, when a performance
of sacred music was given, and a sermon preached by
the Dean of Worcester. The collection in aid of the
Institution was one of the largest that has been known.
The ft lends of the Citarity after wards dined together at
Merchant Tailors' hail. About six o'clock the Right
Honourable the Lord Mayor took the chair, supported
on his right by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cla-
rence, and on his left by his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury. There were also present, the Archbishop
of York, the Bishop of London, and a numerous assem-
blage of the Right Reverend Bench, amongst whom were
The Bishops of Carlisle, Bath and Wells, Chester, Exeter, Llan-
daff, Limerick, and Sodor and Man; the Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of King's Bench, Mr. Justice Park, Mr. Baron 'hillock,
the Dean of Worcester, Sir Charles Flower, Bart. Mr. Alderman
Ileygare, Mr. Alderman Garra:t, Mr. Alderman Key, Mr. Alder-
man ('ruwder, the Sheriffs, &c. t.. the number of about 300.
Alter the cloth was removed, and Non Nubia Dontine
given, the LORD MAYOR gave—
" The King," and' The Duke of York and the Army."
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Duke of
Clarence and the Navy ;" which was drank with very
great applause.
The DUKE of CLARENCE, in returning thanks, .ex-
presse.l himself anxious to support all the institutions of
the country. He considered all our happiness to depend
on our religion and law; and, as connected with the es-
tablished religion of the country, he felt the greatest
pleasure in supporting this institution.
His Royal Highness then rose to propose the health
of " The Lord Mayor." It was one of the privileges
of the City of London, that the Lord Mayor took pre-
cedence of every person, and ranked next to the King
himself in the City.
The health of the Lord Mayor was then drank; after
which, his Lordship briefly returned thanks. He then
proposed 6' The Archbishop of Canterbury," who ac-
knowledged the compliment.
The next toast was, " Lord Chief Justice Abbott."

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his regret that
his numerous occupations prevented his giving that
personal assistance he could wish to this excellent insti-
tution. He could, however, as,ure them, that they had
his heart warmly with them.
The health of the Dean of Worcester was then drank,
and thanks to him for his excellent sermon ; who re-
turned thanks.

After which, the Archbi,hop Of CANTERBURY pro.
posed the health of the Stewards, and the party sepa•
rated, after making a very liberal subscription in aid of
the funds of the charity.

It appears by the published accounts of the Kensing-
ton
Trust, that no less a sum than 1,000/. a year is paid
out of the turnpike tolls towards keeping the pavement
in Piccadilly in repair.
COMBINATION LAws, ARTIZANS, &c.—The Select
Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the
law of the above, have reported to the House of Com-
mons their opinion, that masters and workmen should
be freed from the restrictions under which they are
placed by the existing laws against combinations, and
be at liberty to make such agreements as they may
think proper. In regard to artizans, they recommend
that the laws against their emigration to foreign coun-
tries, and subsequent return, should be repealed ; and in
regard to the exportation of machinery to foreign corm.
tries, they recommend further investigation, and are
desiious the inquiry should be resumed the next Session
of Parliament.
