      Sib , —The Teiy best njonrea iidnce me to close jny correspondence with yon for the present . Was I to continue ihat correspondence now , the concluding paragraph of yoor last letter , addressed to ike Irish peopls , should furnish the grenad-work for jay future letters : and the language of that short paragraph is so plain , explicit and onequiToeal , that it would leare me no alternatiTe hat that of grappling wifli jou in an apparently hostile manner , thereby . adding io the weight of oppresaon which already Jiangs over yon . I ^ Eh ycu , therefore , thgionghij to nadersiaad my motives for discontinuing my conzsponaence . Firstly , the paragraph in yonr letter to which I allude runs thns -

      "PEACE , QUIET , TRANQUILLITY , AKD WITHIN TWELYEMOKTHS THE REPEAL OF THE UNIOI * WILL BE AT HAND / ' As I cannot allow myself directly or indirectly to he a party to political delusion , I conld not continue : my correspondence in the sane tone and temper in which I had carried it on before this last announcement in yonr last letter . That is one reason . The other is my disinclination to paKIsh a single line Triiich would he lifedy to add to your

      present suSerJBgs , pending the Government proceedings against yon . I shall now , however , address a seri 63 of letters to the Roman Catholic Clergymen of Ireland ; and shonld et appeal to them fail of producing its legitimate eSeei , 1 sh&U then , as a last resource , appeal to the tribunal of public opinion , Sir , there is a difference between the Repeal of the Union being as-mredly achieved on the 23 rd of April , or yonr head being on the frock in the * ve ! nt of a failure , and the Repeal being at hasd in Vsv e ^ Te months .

      I nave shewn yon , Sir , in prtTions letters , -that - with all your bcasted loyalty , the Queen ' s lawyers tare declared joa io he guilty of great < lis ! oyaly ; and now , noiwithstanding jour loud demands for peace , quiet , and tranquillity , I tell you that the 4 e ? pondency created by your last letter , will lead to riolence and to outbreak ; and that yon , and you only , and not the infmiared disappointed people , will be j citaj chsrgeable with th e Ttsail . In faith . Sir , if I was to wrize more jssfc now I should be sure to Tioiate my original intention ; as my heart sickens when I see "sou after the \ eari"v

      co ^ ecuon , insured to a large extent , by your piomi ; e of Repeal on the 23-d of April , now -walking of io The mountains , leaving beai ^ d yoa ifee poor consolation , tbat if an expectant , t-osSding , suS > rinj > and highly esciteable people sba : l do what you render almcst impossible of aecomi .-lishment , what they have paid you for giving on lbs 23 rd of April shall be * at ha > d" on the 23 rd of November .

The ball , platform , body , side and end £ ailerie £ , were literally crammed . There « ould not have been less than two thousand persons present .

      Mt . Thohas USTFOtDS , a master tailor , on ihe motion of Messrs . J . W .

He trusted they would give to every body -1 fair hearing , and that , should acy little djlfereucs arise , they would support him in keeping order —( cheering ) . Mr . J . W . Parkek , as secretary pro iem , then came forward and was loudly cheered . He thought it right to state that the commiittee who convened that meeting had thought fit t 0 invite a member of the LrgislstJire to preside ; they bad selected fone who had already done great gemce to working men .

A < = Englishmen thpy were desirous of fair play . He was tbpreforfl directed and did address a letter most rp « p ? ctfDl ] y requesting tbe atteqdance of Messrs . Moses and Son . To that letter no answer had been received . Messrs . Moses

      and Son having advertised their Driees , their roorality . and avfired that they nay a ^ gooH wages as the respectable masters at t ^ e West End ; and a writer in the public jonraals under the anonvmous Bignsture of an * Engli .-h Jew' having confirmed their statement , we considered it a challenge ; wo have acceptt-d the challenefs and we veninre to make onr appeal to the public—( l < Mid chetrs ) . We were fnlly prepared with authentic sfatpments to rebut the false and delusive s » a'pments put forth by Moses and Son—having individuals pip ? ent who have been in their employ to back them . He would now proceed to give those statements : —

      " I waB in tbe employ of Moses and Son ; the wages 1 received for making a coat , which takes three days and fhr ^ e hours to mate , was 12-. ; the price eiTen by respectab e masters is ISi .

      petition most unprincipled ; that it substitutes spurious articles for gi-r . uim » ; subverts fair and honourable trading ; denies to industry its due reward ; and i * calculated from its nature to destroy the best interest of society : and as most of the evils which depress the tailoring trade , and the misery endured by inavy of Its members , owe their origin to unprincipled competition akmr , ibis meeting resolv 6 to employ every legitisnafe method , not only for its counteraction , but to elevate the trade irom its present degraded position , with a due regard to the interest of al ? connected wi'h it , and which can be most effectually accomplished by a union of the entire trade both in town and country . ' Mr .

      Parrou then pToceerfcd . It was not for him to stir up their paiisions , bat to appeal to their reason . Tne details that eveniug had laid bare before them a sjstftn sickening to humanity . He stood there the advocate of three parties , —the consumer , the employer , and the employed . The consumer ought to be supplied with a good article j the employer should have a return for his cjpital ; and the libourer be fairly remunerated for i-is labour . When the working map is deprived of a fair remuneration , precisely to that am ^ us : dp you injure trade . Make the working man comfortable—lei him have his fair share as a consumer as well as product r , and the whole are benefiited—( cheers ) . No man had a right to carry on a system of business thatwB . s injurious to the community —( hear)—and the Legislature s-hould protect them from SHcb . He was not

      one of those who would advise tailors to look for extraneous aid ; no , let the tailors do their part , and the pul-Jfc theirs . It is iho duty of any and every trade to unite- for its own protection . Of Mr . Moses , personally , he knew nothing ; but of his system a great deal . Ha had visited tbe apartments of those in his employ . Wretchedness starvation , and misery was depicted in their countenances . Men were without clothes or shoes , without a bed to lay on , but huddled together upon a bundle of rags . Mr . Moses , by his advertisement , had thiust himself forward ; and hence ho noticed him . Without fear of contradiction , he could stato that men in Moses ' s establishment are in actual fctarvation . A union of town and country would doubly cff . ct their object . He moved the first resolution—( loud cheers ) . Mr . ] > e > so > i seconded the resolution .

      Mr , F . Goodfellow—He had come forward to say that he would willingly lend a hand to put an end to this infernal system . He had applied to Mr . Moses three times , with t ! ie bill staring him in the face , and was told they were n < t in want of hands ; yer , if they applied tc the Union Workhouse , tfir ) -would be told to go to Mr .

Gentlemen would sioken with di " gust if they could see and smell the dens of filth i D which A great part of thoir clothing is now tnad ^' up . The Bwefewe usually made heavy charges fo r £ Utht £ ££ & «* , Coals , caudles . and meals ; and these

      journeymen S jonrnftvmen , after a mo ^ t laborious we < k s work , seldom , carried away more than a few shil lings . Much work which masters and loremen couid give out in ilic morning , was mglcctcu till the evening , because they knew it could be completed by night-work at a sweating-machine , without any additional charge . If the masters would only deferinino to give out no more work to any journeyman than he could perform personJilJy . thera \ v <> uid be work enough tur all at reasonabte wages , and tne -wealing machitii'R would fall to pieces . Sir P ^ ffiK Lavhib asked if Morgan could furnish a list of the mat > l '~ r tailors who were in the habic of sending' the'r customers' orders to these sweating -machines , and also a liet of the sweating-machines ? Mokgan said he cou'd .

      Sir 1 ' eter Laurie said he would not hear any names o ; : n ? iontd then . He vvcuid hear his statement on Friday next , and Morgan should previously give every mastt-r noMce whom he meant to name , that he might be present to answer for himself . He af-ked what wages a niau earned who worked for a sweater , aud how long he worked ? Morj-an said a sweater ' s man seldom earned above 15 ? . per week . They were frequently idlo oiworking day « , though they often worked ail night and on Sundays . At the west end of the town a journeyman , had 36 s . a-week . Sir Ptter asked if there were sweating machines at the west end of the town , as well as in and cIobo round the Ciry . Morgan said thore were very f ew .

      S » r PeUsi : Laurie observed it was probable that the masters had no idea of the cruelty of the sweaters . Morgan thought they had , because they required so much work for so little money . The price of coat-making ranged from 4 g . to 12 s . and 15 s . The city tailors now expected a coat to be as well made for 6 d . as a , West-end tailor would give 153- for . The men grasped at a bad job of this sort ^ U they could get a hotter . It" masters would properly divide the work directly amongst the men , there would be no distress .

      Sir Peter remarked that the letter contained sweflping accusations , and he mu ^ t be prepared to show he was d ** alin »; with Undeniable facts , and not vague aws ' ertioiis when he came on Friday . Morgan said h ^ would prove what he stated , and retired—Times , Wi . dufi « day .

The lecturo occupied nearly two hours \ a tiie delivery aud at the close a goodly number joined the ranks of democracy . The Sunday b . iioal , in connexion with the

      National Charter A ^ oc ' mAoa of this to . vn , continue to prosper beyond our moat sanguine expsciations . We have now nearly 1500 scholars on the books ; au-i tha oxposiiions which tucy are able to give of ihe principles contained ^ in the People ' s Cnarter , an well as the rapid improvetnunia they maba in ijenural knowledge , 19 highly ; gratifying , and amply repays tho care taken by the ! superintendent , directors , aud teachers . Wo would impress upon cur C Vdf . isi brethren generally the necessity ot instructing the rising generation in those principles which can alone regenerate society . :

West delivered his third lecturo ou " Ireland and her wrongs" to a highly respectable , nu- 1 merouB , and attentive ianditory , Mr . Brigga in tfte ^ chair ; the subject of Mr . West ' s lecture being . " tba-i true nature , cause , and ; origin of agrarian ontrages . " ' Many Irishmen attended : to twar how it would be txplained before an English audience . Mr . West traced

      them to their propftr source , the unnatural competition that exists for occupation of tho Land ; he vindicated the Irish character apt hist the calumnies that are constantly being heaped upon it by tbe English hireling pi-fas , and proved that' wherever incendiarism , tha hou ? hing of cattle , robbing of fire arms—crimes that constitute the stock of the calendar at an Irish county assize—txisted , they were to be traced to the unbearable tyranny of the middleman or tbe horrible effects of the j clearing system . Mr . We .-, t next explained how these crimes were concocted and perpetrated in many instances by the middleman and his agents , for the pur- ' pi is :- ) of producing an impression of danger on tbe mind of the absentee proprietor ; thus preventing him from

      visiting his estate , and . judging for himself of the moral character and physical cendition of his tenantB , and their labourers . Mr . West rtwelt at great length o \ the evils cf the Subletting A . rt , and the present law i . f tenure in Ireland , ond concluded an instructive and interesting lecture amid the approbation of the meeting —On Monday evening , a public riiacusaiun took ptuce in tbe ubove roonij < m the question , " Whether is a wnuVlican or raonarciiiel form of government most c intlucive to the welfarejof a nation 1 " Mr .

      SWEATING MACHINES !

Guildhall . —Sir Pet ^ r Laurie , after , di = posii-g of somt ) chirks , inquired if a journeyman ta'lor named Richard Morgan , who had written along letter to him on tbe grievances of his trade , was in the room . Morgan pr- seijted himself .

      The letter complained of the low prices paid by the clothing of the Jtwi&h faith ; but there wss another evil equally perniciou ? , into which nearly all the city taitorshad fallen , aud which the writer thought the Alderman might , by exposure , assist in destroyiDg—this was the employment of chamber masters , or , as the trade termed them , "Sweaters , " from their habit of working by night as well as by day , and on Saints' days and Sundays , as well as other days . A master who could once keep twenty journeymen going , now usually employed but four . Bach of these took out as much as five or

      six men . could do , and usually worked for two masters , at the e&me time . To get through this mass of work , the man set up a sweating machine . He hired two experienced hands willing to work at reduced wages ( perhaps from loss of character ) . To these he added a couple of improvers ( who work at half price for the sake of improvement ) , two or three sempstresses , and his wife and children . These are huddled together in one dirty room , where they eat , drink , aud sleep together . This forms a sweating macnine , to which the master tailor een < - s a gentleman ' s coat al eight 10 be manufactured by uiiie o ' clock tiie next
