in which that gentleman stated that the firm were willing Togo by the rules -which other masters worked by ; tot a < the correspondence had been commenced tnroush the mediation of Messrs .

He thought , as one of that committee , that this explanation was necessary , in order to prevent any mistakes on the subject . The delegate from the Bricklayers moved— "That we , the Building Trades of Manchester , in general meeting assembled , do consider the correspondence betwixt Messrs .

On the motion of Mr . Whittaker , iir . Manard vacated the chair , and Mr . BeUhouse assumed it . Mr . Wluttaker moved : " That the best thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby given to Mr . Manard for his impartial conduct in the thair this evening . " The resolution was seconded
by acclamation , and carried unanimously . Mr . Bellhouse then called on Mr . DLson to address the meeting for a short time . Mr . D ., on coming forward , was loudly cheered . He addressed the assembled thousands on the necessity of the Trades effecting , if possible , a national organization , arf the only means of securing that protection for the labourer which his condition imperatively demanded .

Thus concluded the labours of the day . which has established Mr . Roberta ' s reputation as * a lawyer in Manchester , upon a foundation that , » o Ion ? as he continues honest , can never be
shaken . Bradford Shoemakers . — On Sunday evening a special meeting of the Shoemakers' Society was held at the Boy and Barrel Inn . Vest gate , Mr . Quinn in the chair . The chairman said they were now in the eighth week of a strike , which had jiet been equalled ginee ] S" 22 . At that period a short struggle decided the victory in favour" of the sons of toil , but each subsequent panic had reduced their wages , until in many shops in Bradford the wages did not amount to more than one-half of the amount paid in the year 1822 . It was these reductions that caused the present strike ; and should they not succeed , there would'lx * no end to the masters' t \ ramv over the men . Reports were
c ' rcnlKten by the employers '" spies and lickspittles that eight weeks would terminate the strike , according to the Union laws . lie was happy to contradict such statement by reading a letter received from the committee of management , authorising the strike to I > e continued . The secretary here rend over the ineomp and expenditure of the trade , which irave general satisfaction . Messrs .

Mr . Rol > erts haviim been -eatr-d in a vehicle provided for the occasion , the < nv * vd proceeded to the place of meetinc Tliey were joined ny > e \ t-ral other bodies of colliers on the route , so that by the time they reached the village there must have been upwards of ^ , { H > 0 persons present . Having reached the place of meeting , a miner named George Ramsev , of > Iarsden , near Colne , was called
on to preside . The chairman having opened the business , observed that they were met together for the purpose of eneouracing each other to carry out the great principles for which they were strugglingnamely , an advance of wages equivalent to their merits as workmen . What they required , and they would continue to d ? maB <\ it -until it was granted , was a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work , which-, when act-omplihed . . be Wieved would be as mtlfh to the interest « f the master as to the interest of the men . It was well known that ever since the price of coal was advanced , the masters put the whole of the profit into their own jnx-kets- —and they were now determined to put the miners down , but in this attempt they would never succeed . They / the men i would , bv unin . ovcn-oiue every difficulty , and bv restrictiii "
ihe hoars ol" their labour , keep the supply regulated by the demasd . It was thi . » mode of restricting labt / ur that had done so much to put down the truck system and by a steady persi'verance they would soon put dovr . that > ystem vf low wages ivbirh had so long oppressed them . iClieers . i Mr . Charles Parkinson , fr »» ia l > urh ; nii . nest addressed the njpotinjr . The present or-ntc-t , lie s .-iid , was a strupule Ix-tween capital and la ' mur . Capital had long lunl the asceiidancy to the irreai tl «~ -tructii > n of tbe ritrhts of labour ; but the tinii- was at length come when labour would hold up h Tiiadc that admission he was IhhhxI to
. sax that theoperativfsw'Te justiiicd in rfe-mandin ? a ' ¦ fair day ' s ^ -tires for a fair day ' s work , "" and this measun' onustiee they were no-w rcsolveil to have . ( Hear . ) ITjclr suiferhiirs luid alreadj reached tlic most distant parts of the world , and h : id also rei-ched the throne of t t > Tieen ^ ictoria . Their com p luints had J > een beard , and the government of Sir Robert Peel bad sent commissioners into the country iu inquire into their condition , and investigate the cause of so much sacrifice of human life ; and he feared not but that in the next session of Parliament some step would be taken to secure lx » tter regulations in coal-mines . The speaker concluded by atrain unrinc them to stand firm to their cause , and never to forget that to keep their lalwur restricted was one of the most important objects to be accomplished . —Mr . Benjamin Emberton , of Xewcaatle-upou-Tyne , was the next speaker . lie said they must not expect to accomplish every object they sought to obtain in a few weeks , months , or vears
nor should they be dismayed because they liad not fully suc-ceeded " ; on the contrary , every defeat should simulate to further exertion and determine tliem to be more enen : euc for the future . The mast el's would not so easily give up the contest ; they ( the men ) must , therefore , keep up the good and unanimous feeling which at present existed among them , and once a day repeat their motto , that " Union alone can save us . " He liad been informed since he came to the meeting that some of the masters had been turning their men out of employment . For what purpose was that done ? Why , to throw more idle labour into the market , by which a greater decree of competition ¦ would be created . The only remedy for this was a restriction of the time for those who were employed , and this course he hoped they would adopt . — Mr . James Price , one of the secretaries to the delegate meeting , spoke at considerable length in support of the principles of the Union , and the justice of their demands . He complained of the Liverpool Times That journal , v 1 , had set it forth to the public

tliat the eolliei's were , in many instances , derrianding that the masters should take off six tul > s from the score . Notliing could be more unfair than the way in which this matter was put before the public . 'It would appear , from the statements made by that paper , that the men wanted fourteen tubs to be called twenty , whereas , the fact was , that at some mines in the ^ neighbourhood twenty-six was onl y reckoned as twenty . This was the system the colliers wished to do away with , or else that the masters would pay 2 ( 5 s . as one sovereign . This was all they requested iii that respect , and he thought it was only just that they should have it . They did not care if the masters
called thirty a score , provided they paid 30 s . to the £ }¦—Mr . W . P . Roberts , solicitor , who was received with immense applause , was next called upon by the chairman . He said be was there that day to offer his advice and counsel to the men who were engaged in that most mighty movement . He was there for the purpose of encouraging them to persevere in their good cause ; and the fact of so many thousands standing for so long a period listening to what was said by men of their own class on so cold a day , convinced him that each and all were determined to prosecute the good work in which they were engageil . ( Hear ) . The speakers who had preceded him had given them much matter for consideration , and he had no hesitation in
nrcingthem to weigh well what bad hren said to them .

Lancashire Coal Minkus . —A public meeting of tLe minei-s of the Ashtoii and ( 'Idliani districts was held ' on lhe afternoon of Monday List , on . 1 plut of groumlin front of the Horse-Shoe Inn , Hardoley , between Ashton and Oldhani . The meeting was the mo « t numerous ever held in this part since the commencement of the miner ' s movement . Mr . 1 ' reed , a working : miner , was unanimously called to ihe chair . The meeting was addressed by Mr . Welsberp , Mr . Hams , and ^ Wm . Pixon of Manchester , and the usual resolutions passed . We are happy to say that tbe Union in this part of Lancashire is in a very prosperous condition , and also that the men are get- ; tins some small advance in their wages . We have also mncb pleasure in statins , that a second advance has taken place , in the Rochdale district , of Hid . per quarter . The masters in the Imkentield district have advanced the coals at the . pit 4 rt . per tub , to enable them to give the men one halfpenny per tub , which the MtndosU-r O ' uar > li' \ u makes much noise

The editor ot
the Gw . trt . iiau wishes to impress upon the public that the miners are in the receipt of £ } 4 s . per week , l > ut we challejjjrt-- either him or bis iufoniiaiiU to prove that , after " paying all that comes against them , " the miners of Lancashire , on the average , receive more than Ins . per week , clear money to take home The advance sought by the men is twopence in the shilling on their present wages , which would make them about 17 s . per week , and this tremendous amount of remuneration for venturing their lives into the bowels of the earth to produce that which the Guardian very properly calls a " necessity of life . " Now the fact is , the men have sent a request to their masters to give the above advance : but where the editor of the Guardian gets his information , ' relative to a general strike as being about to take place , is unknown to the miners ot" Lancashire ;
certainly their circular makes no mention thereoj . ISow let us hear what the Gui < r < lixin says about this enormous demand , and the robbery likelv to be indicted on the public if tbey should succeed . lie says , "when it is generally recognised that the coal miners , are in effect saying to tbe masters , you are selling your coals too cheap ; a !) we ask i . s , that you should tax the public , in order to put more profit into your pockets and higher wages into uurs ., " We cannot- 'think tlwt the puUk generally will be disposed , by any promise of support , to encourage and facilitate a general strike ; tiie consequences of which uimt be productive of " t-ii . si-J- 'jvibk 1 Jo . ss botb to the coal miners and the public , and so extremely disastrous to the miners themselves , and all who are dependMlt upon them . " In answer to all this , what does this circular really say { Why this— " It would be well if the masters could maintain an tmiformitv
of prices according to the rxd r < dm- of the article . l ) oes the editor of the Gn > ir > lim \ think it unjust that the consumer should pay the * * ¦ ul vnlio . ot the article he consumes ' . Docs liccnli it Utxinir the puMic tod <* uj ; md the value of the article purchased . ' Why , if this doctrine be correct , the proprietors of the Uufirtliiui aretaxcif" of the public ; because they " fix " what they consider the real value of their own " - ' < 7 r ' "< ' ;/ . " But now we will let the public see what the tax would be which the men at pivscrit ask for . It would not amount to one half-fartbintr p ^ -r cwt .. or twojioncehalfpenny per jmn . ' This would never bo felt by tbe public , whilst it would give the Jiiiiicr two shillings and sixpence per week to expend with the parties who had paid twopence-halfpenny more for a
pan of coal , which would last sjx or eight weeks . Thus they would not feel the farthing per week paid for the coals : hut tbe two shillings and sixpence a week would be a real blessing to the miner ' s wifelaiid family . The editor then says , " what an outcry would be made , if tbe masters were to unite for the purpose of paying the least possible amount of wages . " lie knows full well that such an association Is in existence , and has been since 1 S 41 : and that they have held their regular monthly meetings . He also knows that they have established a system of " qnittanr . e " papers ; and a man that dares to take an active part in uYi ' cnce of the workman ' s rights is marked out for " vr . iownce . " But enough of this . We have spent too much time already on the worthless being who
can prostitute those faculties which nature has given him in endeavouring to molipn and falsify every movement made for the ^ ood of the working bees . There is one other remark which we must make an observation or two upon . The editor of the Guardian wishes to impress on the public mind , that "the miners Executive is an irresponsible body . This is not the fact . On the contrary , they are perhaps the most responsible body of the kind in the kingdom . He alsp says that the funds of the association are at the disposal of one man . It would be well if he would not trouble himself vrith things he knoyrs nothing about , and not attempt to write on a subject of which he is as ignorant ¦ " as the man in the moon . " However , for the satisfaction of the public , and to prove the baseness of the wretch , who could thus

parade his ignorance '' befoi-e : the world for "' such a purpose , we beg to say that the treasurer of tho Miners' Association has not the disposal of the . funds : in fact , neither he nor any one else is allowed to pay one farthing without the order of the miners , by their representatives , either in conference or delegate meeting assembled . We are , Sir , on behalf of tile Lancashire Miners , W . Dixon , VV . Grocett , County Secretaries .

Jf tbe demonstration of force be intended to be moral , why this constant harping on the evil use which it miirht have , but is not meant to have It is the peculiarity of the two greatest , the rival impostors of the time , Mr . < ( Tonne )] and Sir Robert Peel , that they are for ever imagining how they mijrht make the worst use of'their powers , and taking credit for tbe forl > earai ) CB as a positive virtue .

Mr . U'Coiniell complains of " the slanderous miwimery of the Examinef . " We do not very clearly understand the- nature of the offence so described , but perhaps we commit it in copying the ! reports of Mr . 0 'Council ' s proceedings . For instance , at the meeting of tbe Repeal . Association on tbe 28 th ult ., we find that Mr . O'Conneil" Invested himself with a tune crovnt-shaped hat of green velvet , richly decorated with goldeu wreaths of shamrocks " That this is mummery there can he no doubt , and if the report be false , it may be what Mr . OVonnell stylos " scandalous mummerv , " but tbe fault is not
ours . ; We hnxcilK'cn infortne < l that when Mr O'C ' ounell put * on that very fine cap , he receives persons with an air and ceremony of regal . ^ tate . Mr . OT ' onnell , decked in the alderman ' s robes , and with the crownshaped cap-on bis head , playing such antics , must indeed convey the idea of " a slanderous mummery " of royalty . . ' The report state * that when be put on the cap tho assembly che < Te < l loudly . When such tomfoolery in action can be applauded , can we wonder at the similar acceptation of things not less absurd in speech ' . The duinb- * how part is worthy of the oratori' -sil , and the oratorical of the dumli-show . The-speech at Dublin was not to virulent and violent : ts that at Ijinierick , but there was , nevertlieh ss , an : tl > vin » lai > i < - « J'ill-temper in it .

The tenantry of Mr . Cruise , it will Ih ; recollected , were ejected from their holdings at l ) ardisto \ rn and at rariotown , some time since—a circumstance which created considerable public attention at the time ; and no sooner did Mr . Cruise sec , bv the proceedings- of tho Jtepeal Association , what had bejnn done , than he hastened to Ireland from America , where be then resided , for the purpose of reinstating them . Upwards of I ' nO gentlemen sat down to dinner , but if accommodation could have been procured , three or four hundred would have been present ; so great was till" anxiety to compliment this -ioxecllent gentleman , and to vindicate
jl * * 1 I * . I TV 4 "^ * t ft * *« i ^ V * * * * the principle , of the Fixity of Tenure . Tbe chairman , the KcV . Mr . Dowling , P . P . of Clonmelloti , in proposing the health of their guest , said : " That within ten years , ending in \* l < h there was a falling oifin the population of the county of 3 IKJ , 000 souls . s . » me few thousands of these had emigrated ; but what tKViinwofthe great mans i Tlu'v were crashed by extmninatioii . ( Cheers . ) Was such ;» state of things ever witnessed before ? A whole people was nearly decimated without tbe aid of famine , pestilence , or tho sword , within the space of ten short ycars . i It was hardly possible for a ten years' war to produce such terrible results . The health of }'; R . Cruise , Ks <{ ., having been . drunk amid great qhecring , Mr . Cruise rose with no ordinary feel inns ; to return them thanks for the distin-< n ; ished honour they bad conferred on him —' ¦ an honour to which he was not entitled . In comine
trom America he felt he did no more than was noees-• iju'y to perform a duty which every honest man owed his tenantry ; and he regretted , for their sakes , that his arrival was not sooner . ( CheersI . lie came over , however , as soon as he was able to wind up tlie affairs of his family : and on his arrival in this country found a most vindictive feeling existed against him on the part of some individuals . He bad not been at home twelve . ; hours when h « was asked to sign the death-warrant of his ousted tenantry ; . or , in other words . i to execute the- leases of the present holders . On his arrival in Liverpool be found the leases actually on board the packet to lie . sent out to him . j The man who had acted for him in bis absence { had acted without authority . What
heart not made of adamant could read the recitals in the Huhlin journals of tho misery t a used : by the . ejoctments on bis ; estatos without being moved { And for his own partjhe felt pained at the extraordinary procedure of his agent .

Jr '/ . RRiNuiJON Wabi >; — On Sunday evening last large meeting was heM at the Union Armg-IJniml court , Holborn-hill , Mr . P . Lucy in tbe chair . Aft ^ T the transaction of the usual preliminary business such as delivering cards to those who had previouSv eni * olled themselves , tho chairman briefly and apnri priately expressed his views on the question of a Repeal of the Legislative Union now existing bo tween Ireland and England ; He said Ireland wanted her own legislature composed of her own sons , sitting in College-green . She wanted protection to her In dustry , her genius , and her resources . The nresent state of affairs could not endure . The Irish neonta were justly dissatisfied with it . ( Cheers ) M > 7 ) Cocoran then read the speech of the Liberator at the
Conciliation Hall of the 26 th ult ., which wag receivei with loud cheers . Mr . J . Lindsay , E . W . and V on being called on , dwelt at great length on the benefitsthat , would arise from a Repeal of the Union and said if Ireland had a Parliament , there would not be £ 6 , 000 , 000 of absentee rents , and £ 6 , 000 , 000 paid annually for English manufactures ; for Ireland would be able to supply them herself . Previous to the Union , Ireland , with a population of only 4 , 200 , 000 , consumed the chief of her produce . The population had nearly , doubled since the Union ; and they exported to England in pork , egirs , &c . « frc ' to tbe jimount of £ ^ , 000 , 000 annually , while the suiv plus revenue and Irish crown rents , which were £ l , i 50 " , U'f ( ) more , made the annual drain on that
unfortunate country of £ 21 ,. 500 , 000 .

Mr Lindsay then dwelt at great length on the industrial resouiVcs nf Ireland , her capability of becoming a great and prosperous natii-n , and resumed hi-s scat amidst loud cheering . Mr : Melton ( an Englishman ) next addressed the meet injr , and said that the Repeal 01 the Act of Union would benefit the working classes , of-Emrland . The Irish wen compelled to seek employment in England which was the means of reducing the price of labour It the
was duty of the working classes of England . to join in tho cry for Repeal . The English middle clashes we .-e o pposed to the Repeal ft-om fear of Iostn" some of their profits . * but at the same time they used the irishmen that came over to this country— -not forthe lovo they bore them—but for the purpose of reducing wa ^ es , and making the honest and upright Englishmen tr , work for less . The union was the cause of tho Irishmen coming over here ; let the Englishmen assist their Irish brethren to repeal that Act , which had reduced one of the finest countries in Europe trom the position of a nation to that of a province and thus give plenty of employment for Irishmen-at home , and Englishmen would have no reason to com .
plain . He then drew the attention of the meeting to the leading articles in that day ' s Dispatch and Lloyd ' s Newrpripcrs , m which Repeal was made the object of their abuse . He hailed the appearance of the Norths ernStar in the metropolis ; a journal devoted to the interest of the People and the rights of Labour , and which regularly reported their proceedings . ( Cheers . ) Here a person endeavoured to create a schism on account of Mr . O'Connor ' s opinion on the Rechabite question , but the good feeling of the meeting would not tolerate it . Mr . P . Lee , R . W ., said , whatever difference existed between- Mr . O'Connor and Mr . < f'Connell was not the business they had met for . There had been already too much of what " one old woman should say , what another old woman told her , " and so on . lie believed that something of the kind
"xistecl between Mr . O'Connell and Mr . O'Connor . For one , fie was thankful to the proprietor of the Star for the publicity he gave to their proceedings in London . Mr . P . Twobey , R . W ., followed in the same strain , and highly condemned the conduct of the person who had endeavoured to create an ill feeling against an individual that had done them no wrong . The difference that existed between the Liberator and the proprietor of the Northern Star was no business of theirs . They were quite able to settle it themselves . Ho was glad to find the good feeling that existed amongst them . They had by their conduct proved themselves worthy the name of Irishmen . MesM-s . Collins and Foley also addressed the meetinj , and eighteen persons enrolled themselves as asso-CiJit'S .

Mr .

After alluding
to the disastrous effect of the Union , he said , the army has Wn in most countries a conquering weapon , while in . Ireland it has been the sanguinary a ^ ent of ruthless cruelty , savage license , and unchecked barbaritv ; yot has Ireland recruited its ranks most liberally . Irishmen have assisted to gain its triumph—Irishmen were among the bravest who fell . it Waterloo , and the first who mounted the breach of Badajoz ; the plains of Medea , the heights of Barossa . and the burning sands of Egypt , are constant proofs of the undaunted valour of Irishmen . It would be an awkward thing for England if IrUhmen sri-ew " disloyal" enough to stay at home , and decline
" \ o swell the tide of British glorv , Aiding despots in their need , Who ' ve changed our green so oft to ga * J ' - I ' ltt far be it from us even to discuss thi » matter .

The attendance was extremely numerous , every part of the building being crowded to inconvenience . Mr .

They had , he might add without alluding to any person in particular , betrayed tbeni , and he was bound to say that he now expected nothing from them . The Federalist * were Irishmen , but they bad a preference for somebody else ; they did not think that Irishmen ought to govern for themselves . They were good-natured people ; but the love of fatherland did not burn brightly in their
