log despatch from Sir AROUSAL!) CAMPBELL. detailing the parties-
lars of the great and regular battle fought with the Burmese, at a

Wednesday night, as Lord YA RSOROUNNI was going
from Cowes to his seat at Appuldercombe, his carriage, in going
down Bunny-hill, the entrance of Newport, upset. Ins Lordship
and his eldest son, the Hon. Cm:Laces PELHAM, and Mr. Btu., the
surgeon of his yacht, were the inmates: the two former, we are
happy to say, were only slightly bruised; the only unfortunate
sufferer was the Doctor, whose collar bone was dislocated and his
arm broken. This accident was occasioned by the
,neglect if those
employed in lowering the hill, and widening the entrance of the
town, where a hole was left, and no light or other precautionary
steps taken. This is the second accident which has taken place.
A sad spectacle was.exhibited this day in the West
end of the town. Three Spitalfields weavers, one bear-

- DUBLIN, SE/TOMER 26.—A case of combination
has come before the Lord Mayor, which proves the ex-
tensive nature of these societies. Mr. Carolaa, a car•
penter, having refused to comply with the demands of
his journeymen, they left their work, and Mr. C. pro-
ceeded to Glasgow and engaged others in their place.
No sooner had they arrived in Dublin than their lives
were threatened, and they ultimately demanded their
tools. This was refused, and they were unable to return
home. They now summoned 'Mr. C. for a week's wages.
It appeared, however, that they had been treated by
the combinators, and supplied with necessaries. The
Lord Mayor strongly advised the men to go to work;
and was disposed to postpone the business, in order to
enable the workmen to come to an understanding with
Mr. Carolan ; but being pressed for a decision, he said
lie would dismiss the complaint, as it was not clear to
him but the men had entered into the combination of
the city carpenters. The case was then dismissed, and
the parties left the Mansion-house, threatening further
proceedings.
