Sib , —The very best mori-yes induce me to dose ej correspondence with you fc ? tie present . Was I to continue ihai correspondence now , the cddchi £ ing paragraph of your last letter , addressed to the Irish peop ! e } sLcnld furnish the ground-work for mj fixture letters : and the language of that short paragraph is so plain , explicit and unequivocal , that it would leave me no alternative but that of grappling wi ; h you in an apparently hostile manner , thereby adding to the weight of oppression which already hang 3 OTer you . 1 wish j--ti , therefore , thoroughly to understand my motives for discontinuing my corresponcesce . Fir . -iiy , the paragraph in your letter to which I allude runs thus : — "PEACE , QUIET , TRANQUILLITY , AXD
TVITHO TWELYEVlO ^ THi THE REPE AL OF THE UNION WILL BE AT Ha ^ D . " As I eanaot allow myself directly or indirectly to be a party to political delusion , I could not continue m-y correspondence in the same tone and temper in ¦ which I had carried it on before this last announcement in your last letter . Thai is one reason . The other is my disincliaafcon to publish a single line "sriieh ffonld be liktly to add to your present gufierirgs , pen-ling the Government
proceedings agaaasi yen . I shall now hoWCTer , address a series of letters to the Roman Citholie Clergymen of Ireland ; and should my appeal to ihem fail of producing its legitimate d&ct , I shall then , as a last rt-ource , appeal to the tribunal of public opinion . Sir , there is a difference between the Repeal of the " Union being assaredly achieved ou the 23 rd of April , or jour iead being on the frock in the event of a failure , and the Repeal bsing at hand in iwe ' va months .
I have shewn yon , Sir , ia previous letter ? , that vrith all yonr boasted loyally , the Qaepn ' s lawyers have declared yen 10 be £ uiliy of jjreat dislojaly ; and now , noiwithstandin ^ your load demands for peace , qaiet , aad irsnqniliiry , I tell you that the despondency creased by your last letter , Will lead to Tiolesce and to outbreak ; and that you , and you only , and not the iniuriared disappointed people , will be jui-tlv eiiargeabls with the result .
In faiih , Sir , if 1 was to wrive more just now 1 should be sure to violate my original intention j" a ? mj heart ackfms TpLen I ses you arisr the yearly collection , insured to a . large extent , by your promise of Repeal on the 23 rd of Apr : L now walking oS to rhe mountains , leaving bebiad voa the poor COUiolarion , that if an especs&ns , confiding , sufforina and highly esciteable people * hail do what you render almost impossible of aeeomi .-l : slKnfni , what they have paid you for givirg on ihe 23 rd of April shall be ** xx ha > d" on the 23 rdx » f November . -
If , Sir , the people honour this long bill of yours , then shall 1 bln ? h for my ^ oantrymen—then shall 1 despair of my country ' s regeneration . TEiBGrS OTo . VfOS .

petition most unprincipled ; that it substitutes spurious articles for gecuins ; subTerts fair and honourable trading ; denies to industry its due reward ; and i" calculated from its nature to destroy the best interest , © f society : and as most of the evils which depress tbe tailoring trade , and the misery endured by mai ^ y of its members , owe their origin to unprincipled competition aionr , this meeting resolv s to employ every legitimate method , not , only for its counteraction , but to elevate the trade Irom its present degraded position , with a dueTegard to the iu . erest ot ad connected with it , and which can bo n-. oit effectually accomplished by a union of ( he tn : ire trade both in tovrn and country . ' Mr . Parrot i then proceeded , it was not for him to stir up
their passions , bat to appeal to their reason . T « e details that evening had laid bare before them a sjstem sickening to humanity . He stood there the advocate of three parties , —' . he consumer , tbe employer , and the employed . The cratumer ought to be supplied with a good article ; the employer hould have a return for his c . pital ; and the labourer be fairly remunerated for hh , labour . V \ ht-n tbe working man is deprived of a fair remuneration , precisely to that am > -un * do you injure trade . Make the working man comfortable—let him have his fair share as a con ? umer as well as producer , and the whole are benefitted—( cheers ) . N <» man had a right to carry on a system of business that was injurious to the comniunny — ( hear)— and the Leg ) .-. ature should protect them from Ewch . He was not one of those who would advise tailors to lock for
extraneous aid ; no , let the tailors do their part , and the puMic theirs . It is the duty of any aud every tradf to unito fcr its own protection . Of Mr . Moses , personally , he knew nothing ; but of his system a great deal . Ha hsd visited tho apartmeuts of those in his employ . Wretchedness starvavion , and misery was depicted in thvir countenances . Men were without clothes or shoes , without a bed to lay on , but huddled together upon a bundle of rags . Mr . Moses , by bis 8 dvcriiacment , had thrust himself forward ; and hence he noticed him . Without fear of contradicioti , he could stato that men in Moses ' s establishment are in actual starvation . A union of town and country would doubly rff ct their objict . He moved the first resolution—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Netsom seconded the resolution .
Mr . F . Goodfxllow—He had corao forward to pay that he vro'ild willingly Jend a hand to put an end to this infernal syHum . He had applied to \ 1 r . Moses three times , with t ! iO bill staring him in the face , and was told they wero mt in want of hand = ;; yet , if they applied tc the Union Workhouse , thiy would be told io go to Mr .

GriLDiULL— Sir Peter Laurie , after d'cpositigo ; some cb-Tgcs , inquired if-a juurneysiai tailor nauied Richard Mor ^ au , wbo had written a lo"g letter to him on the ai-ievaucesofhia trade , was in tue room . Morgan pr- sen ' ed himac-lf .
The letter couiplaiued of the low prices paid ly the clothing of the Jewish faith ; but there wit acother evil rqaally perniciour , into which nearly all the city taii ' . r * had fallen , aud which the writer thought the Alderrcan might , by exposure , assist in destToying—vhis was ihe employment of chamber masters , or , as the trade termed them , " S ^ catera , " 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 jonrneymen going , now usually employed but four . Each of these took out as much as five or
six men could do , and usually worked for two matter .-, at the game time . To get through this mass of work , the man set up a- sweating machine . He hired two experienced hands vrillius to work at reduced wag ;" - ( perhap ^ from loss of d-araeU-r ) . To these he added a couple of improvers ( who work at half price fur the sake of improvement ) , two ft three 8 empstres cc ; s , and his wife and children . These are hutijled toaether in one dirty room , when ; they en * , drink , a ad iic . p together .

Sir PtTKR Lai'uik a' - 'ked if Morgan could furnish a list of the niaslt-r tailors \ yho wore in the ha ' oit of sending : their customers' orders to these e-weatir : g-machines , and also a liet of the sweating-machmes ? Morgan said he cou'd . Sir 1 ' kter Laohik said he would not hoar any names in-ntioned then . He wi ; uld hear his , ° tutement on Friday next , aud iMor ^ an should pre viously giveevciy master notioa whom he meant to nam <\ that he might bo present to answer for himself . He asked what iva ^ es a man carued who worked for a sweater , and how long he worked ?
Mort-an saiJ a sweater ' s nisn seldom earned above 15- \ vu week . They were t ' r . quently idle on working days , though they often worked all night and on Sundays . At tho west end of the town a jouriuytuau had 36 s . a-week . Sir Pt ter plivd if there were Bwcating machines at the we ? t end of the town , as well as in aud Close round iho City . Morgan paid there were very few . Sir Peter 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 Tor «> liule money . The pnoe of coat-making ranged from 4 s ; to 12 s . and 15 s . Tho city tailors now expected a coat to be a * well made for 6- ! . ai a West end tailor would give 15 s . for . The men grasped at a bad job of thiy . sort till th « y OOUld get a bfitttiP .

West delivered his third lecture on " Ireland and her wrongs' ? to a highly respectable , numtrous , and attentive ( auditory , Mr . Brigqa in the chair ; the subject of Mr . West ' s lecture being , " tha true nature , cause , and origin of agrarian oairoxes . ' ' Many Irishmen attended to haar hov ? it would be ^ xplained before an English audience . Mr . West traced them to their proper source , the unnatural competition
that exists for occupation of the Land ; he vindicated the Irish character ap-inst the calumnies that are constantly being heaped upon it by the Eoglish hireling prwia , and proved tba *? wherever inuendiarism , tho honjfhiog of cattle , robbiug of fire anus—crimes ttufc constitute tbe stock of the caleudar at an Irish county assiZ 3—existed , they were to be traced to the unbearable tyranny of the middleman or the horrible effects of tbe clearing system . Mr . West next explained how these crimes were concieted iau < l perpetrated in many instanc . 'S by the middleman nnd niu » gents , for the pufpoa > 3 of producing an impreBsten of v \ ani ? 6 i on the mind of the absentee proprietor ; thus preveuting him fiom
visiting his estate , and judging for himself cf the moral character and physical condition of his tenauts , mid their labourers . Mr .
