We regret to state, says the Dublin Pvening Poet,
that the spirit of Combination has reached this coun-
try, and that it is likely to he attended with the evil
consequences which has attended the System In Eng-
gland. The fit/lowing is from a Belfast Piper
The unhappy spirit of Combination has extended iiseif to
our neighbourhood. the journeymen of Woodburn Cotton Mill
haying nohow f .lly Irri their employment. and seduced from their
duty ten of the apprentices. With the many instances before
them of the misery produced to their families by suck conduct—
the awful canopies which were rendered noces-ary not long
ar, in the en e of the Weavers, and the certainty Ilnot unlaw till
Combinistiont never can be producive of Ruud—it is melancholy
to find any body of men so misguided and blind to their own
peace. as to embark in such a mischievuus enterprise, and which
must in a short time fail to pieces. In this case it is hoped the
Masters will act with that union and determin aims that will de-
feat the attempt to dictate to the ii, and convince the workmen
of the error as well as impsolicy of a line of conduct. which may
bring disgrace and ruin upon themselves. and materially injure
the manufactures of the cuuntry."—(Belfast Cosantorcial Carus
nide.)

A letter from Cambridge, dated Sept. 4, says— 1
" It is, WI doubt, in the recollection of most of
oar readers, the very manly struggle that was made
at Cambridge dude!' the late election, to restore that •
borough to is stale of independence. Oa Friday '
last, daring a time of great public bustle, when al-
most every one was engaged at the Senate-house, '
seeing his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex re-
ceive the degree of 1.1.. D., • proposition was sub.
:witted, at the Tuwu.hnll, to make upwards of 40
freemen. The lime for this proposition might be
politically, but certainly, to say the least of it, was
not handsomely chosen ; and the Ineaslire, if allow.
ed to be carried, will unfortunately prevent every ef-
fort to recover that borough to its wonted inde-
pendence, at least for the whole.of the present ge-
neratinp."
COM TRATELLING, Two MILES FOR A FAR.
!nut. !!!—Owing to the spirit of rivalry which now
'subsists among the owners of steam conveyances be-
tween 11ull and Gainsboroligh, passengers are con-
tiled from one to the other of these places (being a
distance of fifty miles) at the rate of sixpence each.
One of Lord 14:Gas:moves horses, while exercising
