Sis , —The rerj best motives indnoe me to close my correspondence -with you for the present . Was I io continue that correspondence now , the concluding paragraph of your last letter , addressed to the Irish people , should famish the ground-work for jny future letters : and the language of that short paragraph is bo plain , explicit and unequiTocal , that it would leave me no alternative but that of grappling with you in an apparently hostile manner , thereby &ddiD £ to the weight of oppression which already hangs over you . I wish yoa , therefore , thoroughly to understand my motives for discontinuing my correspondence . Firstly , the paragraph in your letter to which I allude runs thu 3 : —
* PEACE , QUIET , TRANQUILLITY , AND "WITHIN TWELVEMONTHS THE REPEAL OF THE VKLO l * WILL BE AT HAND . " As I cannot allow myself directl y or indirectly to be a fatty to political delusion , I could not continue my correspondence in the same tone and temper in which I hadisarried it on before this last announcement in your last letter . That is one reason . The other is my disinclination to publish a single line which would be likely to add to youi
present sufferings , pending the Government proceedings against you . I shall now , however , address a series of letters to the Boman Catholic" Clergymen of Ireland ; and should my appeal to them fail of producing its legitimate eSict , 1 shall then , as a . last resource , appeal to the tribunal of public opinion . Sir , there is a difference l » tween the Repeal of the Union being aS 3 Hredly achieved on the 23 rd of April , or jonr head being on the b : ock in the event of a failure , and the Repeal being at hxm > in twelve months .
I have shewn yon , Sir , in previous letters , that with all your boasted loyalty , the Qaeen ' 3 lawyers have declared yon to be guilty of great disloyaly ; and now , notwithstanding your loud demands for peace , quiet , aad tranquillity , 2 tell you that the despondency created , bj your last letter , will lead to violence an 3 to outbreak ; and that you , and yon only , and not the infuriated disappointed people , will be justly chargeable with the result .
In faith , Sir , if I was to write more just now 1 should be sure to violate my original invention ; as my heari sickens when I see JOQ after the yearly collection , insured to a large extent , by your promise of Uepeal on the 23 rd of April , now walking off to the mountains , leaving behind yon the poor consolation , that if sn expectant , confiding , gaffe-ring and highly exciieable people shall do what you Tender almcst impossible of accomplishment , what they have paid you for givisg on the 23 rd of April shall be ba > t > " on the 23 rd of November , If , Sir , the people honour this long bill of yours , then Ehall I blnsh for my countrymen—then shall I despair of my country ' s regeneration .

TO THE . CHARTISTS OF isOTTIXGHAM . Mt BEXfi , mt vest dzab FfirESDs , —I cannot find TTOTds sufficiently $ trong or expressive to convey my thanks to you for the cool , the manly , the deliberate , and judicious manner in which yon aided and assisted in reconciling the trifling differences which existed between some of your friend ? . I feel assured that upon reflection every working jnan who was present will rpjoice in the part that he Acted on that occasion ; while , from the result , I hare learned the wholesome lesson that the people themselves constitute the only proper tribunal for tie settlement of such questions ; and I have fnrther come to the cheeriDg conclusion , that what I now confess I did look upon as a hostile move , was nothing
more than a const quence of misunderstanding , which ow Nottingham friends were as anxious as I was to iave set right . In truth , I look npon the result of last Monday nigh ' s meeting to have been t > t vast importance . I could not afford to lose the Confidence , or to merit the disapproval , of men with whom I have fought and bled , hy jught and by day . The result , so cheering ± 0 me , will doubtless be gall and wormwood to the " tricksters" who prowl the country , living npon dissensions that they themselves engender , iiy beloved friends , we have enemies enough of all complexions , shape , and b ^ zs , without turning upon onrselves . I learn that a great portion of the hope of the League is bailt npon their
expectation to destroy Feargu 3 O'Connor and the KoriJicrn Star ; but as I have , up to this hour , fonjjht the battle of poverty against wealth—of right against might—and of justice against injustice , with the sons of toil for my supporters , I now bid the united factions defiance ; and tell them that with you I will fight and eosquer , leaving to our oppressors all the advantages that they can gain from ihe a-d and co-operation of enr united opponents , Again , thanking yon and praying tbat God may bless you , and enable me so 10 concoct myself as to make ma instrumental in raising yon up from yonr present hopeless condition to that state , to which as men , as freemen , and industrious men you are entitled ,
I remain , your ever faithful , devoted , and loving friend , pEABGrs O'CoraQB . P . S . As yon are lovers of justice , truth , and fairplay ; and as yon would consider the triumph of out reconciliation sullied , if achieved by equivocation , prevarication , or falsehood ; and as much of the complaint of my good friends at Nottingham was fonnded upon the suppos i tion that the term u tricksters" had been applied to them ; and a 3 1 unequivocally denied that it had been so applied , it will be gratifying to you to learn that Mr . Mason put a similar question to Mr . M'Gr&th , at apnblie meeting at Birmingham ; and that 2 flr . Al'Grath Stated at Birmingham that the Executive applied
the term to the very parties in London , to whom I EtattdaV Nottingham it was intended for . 1 assnre you that I was not aware of this fact , nor indeed could I have been , nniil after my return from Nottingham , when , upon communicating the mist ike into which our Noitinjibam friends had fallen to Mr . "Wheeler , he replied " Why , that's nonsense ; for h ' t rc ' 3 a letter that I received from il'Grath this , morning , in which testates that Jia ^ on , aciing under the same impression , yni a similar question to him ; and in reply , Mr . M'Grath frank ;} named the very panies " that I had named at Nottingham . Air . Wheeler was not aware of my having named any parties at Nottingham until after he hsd read ^ lr . il'Gra th ' s letter to me ; and I said , ** Why , those are the very 3
parties that 1 mentioned . ' Now , I trust our Nottingham friends will be sati ? Eed . Aye , my friends , and however those fellows and all other " tricksters " may hope to escape denunciation , while they stab me in the dark , I tell them lhat , without any delicacy , I'll blow inem up , root and branch , until not a fibre of the weeds thall remain in vhe soiL It is very fine morality and sentimentality indeed , to allow Ttsxgns O'Connor to be a cockshot with his eye 3 hlindfoldeG , hi 5 tongue tied , and his ears open , while it is the perfection of impropriety and * immorality , if he < iarc 3 to defend himself ! Now , 111 tell yon , my good friends , that I hare this week received packages of the most underhand , rascally , slanderous , and cowardly letters , circulated throcgh the country , which
would be quite siifficient to destroy any public man ¦ who did not rely upon hi 3 own acts for protection , and npon tec villainy of his underhand accusers for detection . 1 have sent specimens of them to the Northern Star office , to be used by one of the few men who has stood by me in the gale and the sunshine , Mr- Hobsen . as he thinks fit- But I fee ] assured that under hti COntTOol he will nst open the columns of the Star even for my defence 1 nor do I require Mm : for while I have such staunch and brave defenders as the men of Newcastle and Sunderland have proved themselves to be in this secret affair . I shall have no recourse to any other mode of Ofcferce than that which their order is prepared universally to cast round me . F . O'C .

OTHER SLOPSELLERS . ; A public meeting of the Tailors of the Metropolis was held on Monday evening last , at the National Association Hall , High Holborn , for the purpose of refuting certain statements set forth in an advertisement in the Times , Morning Advertiser * and Other newspapera , of November the 8 th instant , ; rdaiSre to the rate of remuneration ^ i yen for labour , by Messrs . Moses and Sou , of ihfi Minories j ] and to lay before the public a full statement ofthe present depressed condition of the trade ; also ; io devise the best means of effecting . a generali union of the whole , both in town and country . The j haJL platform , body , side and end eaUexiea . were ' '
literally crammed . There could not have been less j than two thousand persons present . I Mr . Thoius Rxthold * , a master tailor , on the Botion of Messrs . J . W . Parker and Parrot , wasj unanimously called to the chair , amid great ap-1 phrase , and said , Gentlemen , I feel that it is not at ; present generally known that our trade is so re-i duced that the working men are starving , and ] pining in garrets . -Competition has got to such a ' pitch that not only the tailoring tr&fie , but ever ; trade 1 feelsiis effects . In consequence of tllisfrightfnlitaife af affairs , ihe London Trade Protection Society his j arisen 5 and that society convened this meeting . At ! their rtonest 1 take the _ « bair . He further said that j fcfr trusted their iiellberaiionB would be conducted temperately ; they had a right to meet and discusB iheir grievances , and afterwards submit them to the

Legislature . If he thought they had any other intention , humble individual as he-was , he -would not have taken the chair . He trusted they would give Io erery body a fair hearing , and that , should any little difference arise , they would support him in keeping order —( cheering ) . Mr . J . W . Parker , as secretary pro tern , then came forward and was loudly cheered . He thought it right to state that the committtee who convened that meeting had thought fit to invite a member of the Legislature to preside ; they had selected [ one who had already done great service to working men . He need scarcely fay they had Beleoted T . S . Duncombe , M . P . —( tremendous cheering ) . Here was his answer : —
" 3 am compelled to be from town on the occasion , or should hare felt much pleasure in bein * present You allude to petitions to Parliament If you get up petitions , and thini fir to entrust them to my hands , I shall feel great plessnre in bringin ? the case before the Home , aad being the advocate of oppressed industry on the occasion . " ( Great cheering ) . As Englishmen they were desirous of fair play . He was therefore directed and did addres 3 a letter most respectfully rpquesting the attendance of Messrs . Moses and Son . To that letter no answer had been received . Messrs . Moses
and Son having advertised their prices , their morality , and averred that they pay a ? good wages as the respectable masters at the West End ; and a writer in the pnblio journals under the anonymous signature of an * English Jew having confirmed their statement , we considered it a challenge ; we have accepted the challenge , and we venture to make our appeal to the public—Uoud cheers } . We were fnlly prepared with authentic statements to rebut the false and delusive statements put forth by Moses and Son—having individuals present who have been in their employ to back them . He would now proceed to grre those statements : —
M I was in the employ of Moses and Son ; the wages I received for making a coat , which takes three days and three hours to make , was J 2-. ; the price given by respectab ' e masters is 19 $ . Thomas Blair . " " Wm . Bloy states—I was in the employ of Moses and Son ; for making a superfine CbesterfiHd wrapper , bound roand the edges , trimmed with velvet , and all the extras , three days was all 'he time allowed . " " Wm . Bloy . " " I was in the employ of Closes and Sod , of the Minorif-3 . The priee I received for making a singlebreasted coat , silk lining , with three pockets , was eight shillincs , sixpence ont of which I hsd to pay for coals and candle . Time taken to make it three days hard work . For trousers , fashionably made , I received three shillings : for waistcoats , fashionably made , I received half a-crown ' , for alterations thai look me twelve hours I received tho enormous sum of tenpence . " ** James Gow . "
Deponent , fnrlber saiih , that he was compelled to leave their employ by debility brought on by incessant labour . " I have been in the employ of Jlo ? es and Son ; six shillirgs was the price payed to me for makiBg coats , out of which sixpence was deducted for thread , & . c . for jobbing . I was paid fourpence per hour ' , the docking system was mnch in vogae there ; and I have had to wait four hours for werfe and then go away withont it" " Richard Pease . " " I have been in the employ of Moses and Son , four years . For makiDg shooting coats I was paid three shillings and threepence ; had to find trimmings out of that . The time allowed by respectablelion ^ es for making was thirty hours . Pilot great coats ,
Taglioni black vest , I was paid just at the same rate ; for a Chesterfield , two shillings and ninepence ; and sometimes three shillings ; have made troupers for them at one shilling and ninepence per pair ; and moleskin coals for two shillings each . The time taken to make the latter was eighteen hours . Was compelled Jo give it up could not get a subsistance at it . If you went to work at fi > e o'clock in ihe morning , yon would find a crowd anxiously waiting . " " " John Holland ™ Mr . Parker continued—they had had considerable difficulty in obtaining those statements . He had found the pen at thtir homes in Whhehapel and its vicinity , in a miserable and wretched plight , destitute of food , raiment , and furniture—( hear ) .
He trusted this waa the first of a series of meetings that would enable them to protect iheir fellow men from snch misery and degradatisn—( loud cheer-. ) . A host was ready to vouch for the correctness of the statements he had made . Now if Mc . « r ? . Moses » nd Son , the ** English Jew , " or any one on their behalf , was present to confute those statements , they should have a full and a fair hearing—( spulanse ; but no one reFponded to this appeal ) . Then he would ask tbi ? meeting , do these things aff ct the moral dignity of Mr . Moses ' establishment ! - ( loud laughter 1 . There are thousands like Moses and Sons , Christians as well as Jews , living like vampires npon the sweat and blood of industrious men and women—( hear , hear)—bnt if meetings like this say it is wrong ,
then would they be justified in holding them op to public indignation and scorn —( loud cheers ) . Bnt while they had to show up things of this kind , it was bnt right they Ehould also exhibit the virtuous actions r-f others . Mr . Morrison , of St . Paul's Church Yard , had raised the wages of hiB workmen during the last summer—( loud cheers ) . Messrs . Moses talked of the price of the up-stairs rooms , bnt did not say a word of the down-stairs roomsnothing about the tenpence a-pair paid for trowsers . His books of payment are open for inspection * , but did the 3 nspector-GeneraZ , the"English Jew , " inspect the books of those who took the work out 1 Did the English Jew ask the wives and children of those who were Dot able to appear in the streets
themselves from lack of apparel—to call and " inspect ' their books 1—( hear , hear ) . The EDglish Jew paid that clothes gave the entree to society . This was very true . He said that establishments like Moses ' fnrnished a means of subsistence to working menthat they wonld otherwise have been without . This he ( Mr . P . ) unhesitatingly declared to be a libel on the English working man—( loud cheers ) . The working men were satisfied to pay a good price for their clothes , so long as they obtained a fair remunerative price for the labour—( loud cheers ) . How this cheap slop-selling tt&s a species of robbery from beginning to end . The clothes so sold was not made from legitimate cloth , bnt from shoddy or devil ' s dust—that was , a Epecie 3 of old rags collected from all parts of the
world , and then torn to pieces by a machine called the devil . Mr . Parker here exhibited a pair of tronserF , the material of which was manufactured at Huddertfitld ; the trousers were made in America , and had never been worn ; they were literally in great holes , dropping to pieces , and quite transparent . These were shoddy or devil ' s dust tronnerg ; their exhibition caused much merriment in the me . ting . Mr . Parker continned : They were told Jonathan would hot pay his debts . Conld they be surprised at it , when he was supplied wi'b rascally Muff iike that ? He suggested that a national c ! eleta . ie meeting should be holden at BiraiEshani , or some other central place . Meetings baa been held at Burslem and other places . Great measures r » quired great means . Then letit be done unitedly ; ler it be done nationally—( Iou 4 cheers ) .
Remember"He -who allows oppression ghues the crime . " Then up and be doiBg ! Get your petitions ready 3 Hi S . DnDCombe , > 1 . P . —( lond cheers )—says lam your man ; I will work night and day for y « u . The Miners had set them a glorious example—( lond , long , and protracted cheering . ) Mr . Pifiaon then moved the first resolution , as follows : — " That whereas nnmerons advertisements have at different times appeared in the Times , Morning Advertiser , and other newspapers , offering new garments , represented as good , 4 . 0 . at one-third lew than tae regular trade price , such advertieemems having the names of Moses and Son , of Hi in the Minories , and of 186 , Aldgate , City , affixed to them ,
the tendency of which is to bring into discredit , and inflict serious injury on , the legitimate portion of the trade : and whereas , one of the aforesaid advertisements , together with one headed ' Tailors ' Wages , did appear in the said newspapers on the 8 th instant , with the aforesaid names affixed to them , containing statements , one t > f which is , that wages were paid to journeymen tailors at 154 in the Minories equal to houses of the first respectability in , the trade , it has been found , on examination , that the highest wages paid to journeymen tailors at 154 in the Minories do not exceed the lowest paid by respectable master tailors ; And that other wages beside those named in the said adTertMeiaent , altogether insufficient for the necessary purposes of
existence , are paid at the aforesaid ertaoiianment , whith the advertiser earefnlly . w ^ " ** ™ , * public eye : and as the publication of the two advertisements in the same papers , and on the same day , is calculated to leave an impression on the public mind that the wages advertised were paid for the garments so advertised , and that *« ^ S ^ ^ tion for labour was alwajB in proportion to ifee work required In the several garments , and as such to " not the case , but a palpable misrepresentation , it is resolved—That in the opinion of this meeting , the system or trading established by Messrs . Mosea and Son , of L 5 l , MinorieB , and others , is one of pnblio deception , injustice , and impoverishment , and a species ot com-

petition most unprincipled ; that it substitutes spurions articles for genuine ; subverts fair and honourable trading ; denies to industry its due reward ; and is calculated from its nature to destroy the beat interest of society : and as most of the evRB which depress the tailoring trade , and the misery endured by many of its members , owe their origin to unprjnoiplod competition alone , this meeting resolves to employ every legitimate method , not only for its counteraction , but to elevate the trade from its present degraded position , with a due regard to the interest of all connected with it , and which Can be most effectually accomplished by a union of the entire trade both in town and country . " Mr Parrott then proceeded . It was not for htm to stir up
their pa 3 « ons , but to apppal to their reason . The details that evening had laid bare before them a sjst « m eickening to humanity . He stood there the advocate of three parties , —the consumer , the employer , and the employed . The oonsumer ought to be supplied with a good article ; the employer bould have a return for his capital ; and the labourer be fairly remunerated for his labour . When the working man is deprived of a fair remuneration , precisely to that amount do you injure trade . Make the working man comfortable—let him have his fair share as a consumer as well as producer , and thewholeaTe benefited—( cheers ) . No man had a right to carry on a syatom of business that was injurious to the-commuDuy—( hear)—and tho Legislature should protect them from ssch . He was not one of those who would advise tailors to look for
extraneous aid ; no , lei the tailors do their part , and the public theirs . It is tho duty of any and every trade to nnite for its own protection . Of Mr . Moses , personally , he knew nothing ; but of his system a great deal . Ha had visited the apartments of those in his employ . Wretchedness starvation , and misery was depicted in their countenances . Men were without clothes or Bhoes , without a bed to lay on , but huddled together upon a bundle of rags . Mr . Moses , by his advertisement , bad thJust himself forward ; and hence he noticed him . Without fear of contradiction , he could state that men in Moses ' s establishment are in actual starvation . A union of town and country would doubly e fiVct their object . He moved tho first resolution—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Nefsom 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 gystem . He had applied to Mr Moses three times , with tiie bill f-taring him in the face , and was told they were m-t in want of hands ; yet , if thoy applied to the Union Workhouse , they TAould be told to go to Mr . Moses—( loud cheere ) . He applied to Mr . Hyams , another city slop-seller , they showed him a Chesterfield ; he asked the price for making ; they told him 4- < . 6 d ., and they wanted a five pound security —( loud cries of "Shame ,
shame'' ) . Whal becomes of the fines exacted from the poor slaves ! There is a box in the shop for charity . This Shylock ( great applause reiterated ) , this Sbylock wrings fines from the misery and destitution of his poor slaves , and sends it round to Protestant Associations . There was benevolence for them ! He implored them to rally round the tomnnnee . He found a . K ° od feeling prevailed . Mr , G . retired amidst enthnMasn ' o cheering ) , The resolution was pm and carried unanimously . Mr . Eames cume forward to move the second
resolution . " That , as in the opinion of this meeting no Union can be tifrctive , unless carried out upon a universal principle , it therefore recommends that a national delegate meeting be called , for the purpose of agreeing to a general plan of organization ; such plan to bs immediately carried out , after having been agreed npon at such meeting the time and place for holding it , and the necessary arrangements for the same to be hereafter determined . That the power
for calling such meeting be vested in tho Central Committee of the Metropolitan Tailors' Trade Protection Society , who shall have liberty to add to their number from all other Metropolitan Societies at present in existence . This meeting also recommends ihat petitions to the House of Commonspraying for a- committee of inquiry into the several grievances which affect the trade , be got up in all parts of the country forthwith , and that fiuch petitions be forwarded to T . S . Duncom . be , Esq ., for presentation . "
Mr . Eauis trusted a" general union would be formed which would effect their redemption . A partial union wonld be useless ; for instance , if London was in union , goods would be obtained from Manchester and other large towns in the Provinces —( bear , hMT ) . He hoped they would take up their cards as they passed the Secretary —( cheers ) . Mr . . lee seconded the resolution , supporting in a forcible manner the Observation of the previous speakers . The resolution waB then carried by acclamation . Mr . Buyer then stepped forward and said , while sitting there a resolution had been suggested and aftf r passing much warm eulogy on tho press , he read and moved the followin e : —
" That the thanks of this meeting be given to the press for its benevolent efforts on behalf of the poor ; and while it highly appreciates the important services rendered to the cause of humanity generally , it in a most especial manner tenders thanks to that portion who have espoused the cause of the suffering tailor ^ , and in expressing a hope that their benevolent efforts will be continued umil labour shall receive it ? doe reward ; it would also hope that the entire pre 3 s will lend its powerful aid for the purpose of elevating the trade from its present depression and the destruction of those influences which have produced such incalculable misery . " Mr . Dodgin seconded the resolution , which was carried amid-t applause .
Mr . Parkeb , in moving a vote of thanks to the chair , said it was their duty to extend the sale of those papers that advocated their cause , among which the Northern Star and Weekly Dispatch stood pre-eminent—( great cheering ) . Mr . Paikott seconded the vote of thanks , which was carried , and responded to , and the meeting quietlj broke up .

morning , instead of Riving it to a journeyman to completed solely by himself , which would requi re two ; days' work . Gentlemen would sicken with di * guat if they could see and smell tho dens of filth i i * ijieh « H ££ » fc' part of their clothing is now made
up . The sweater usually made heavy charges fp >* sitting rooai , coals , candles , and meals ; and these journej men's journeymen , after a most laborious week ' s work , seldom carried away more than a few shillings . Much work which masters and foremen could give out in tho morning , was neglected till the even * ing , because they knew it coufd be completed by night-work at a sweating-machine , without any additional charge . If the masters would only determine to give out no more work to any journeyman than he conld perform personally , there would be work enough for all at reasonable wages , and the sweating-machines would fall to pieces .
Sir Petes Laurie asked if Morgan could furnish a list of tho master tailors who were in the habit of sending their customers' orders to theso sweating machines , and also a liet ot the sweating-machines ? Morgan said he cou'd . Sir Feter Laurie said he would not hear any names mentioned then . Ho would hear his statement on Friday next , and Morgan should previously give every master notice whom he meant to name , that he might be present to answer for hiojself . Ho asked what wages a man earned who worked for a sweater , and how long he worked ?
Morgan said a sweater ' s man seldom earned above 15 a . per week . They were frequently idle on working days , though they often worked all night and on Sundays . At the west end of the town a journeyman had 36 s . a-week . Sir Peter asked if there were sweating machines at the west end of the town , aa well as in and close round the City . Morgan said there were very few . Sir Peter Laurie observed it waa probable that the masters bad no idea of the cruelty of the sweaters . . DweaitHB .
, Morgan thought they had , because they required so much work for so little money . The price of coat-making ranged from 4 a . to 12 s . and 15 s . The city tailors now expected a coat to be as well made for 6 s . &s a West-end tailor would give 15 a . for . The men grasped at a bad job of this sort till they could get a better . IF masters would properly divide the work directly amongst the men , there would be no disiress . Wages , on the whole , would be better . They manage these things better in Paris . The journeyman tailor wow far better off there . Sir'Petor asked if he was working for a sweater t Morgan said he was not . Sir Peter remarked that the letter contained sweeping accusations , and he mu ^ t be prepared to show he was dealing with undeniable facts , atid not vague assertions ' , when he came on Friday . Morfean said he would prove what he stated , and retired ;— Times , Wednesday .

MANCHESTER . Cab pentees * Hall . —The discussion , on Sunday afternoon last , was well attended , and tho greatest harmony characterised the proceedings . la the evening we were favoured by a visit from Mr . Samuel Kidd , of Glasgow , who delivered an instructive and powerful lecture to a densely crowded audience , who signified their approbation by reiterated plaudits . The lecture occupied nearly two j hours in the delivery and at the close a goodly number joined the ranks of democracy . The Sunday School , in connexion with the
National Charier Association of this town , continues to prosper beyond our most sanguine . expectations . We have now nearly 500 scholars on the bocks ; and the expositions which they are able to give of the principles contained in the People's Charter , as well as the rapidjimproveinen . s they make in general knowledge , ia highly gratifying , and amply repays the care taken by the superintendent , directors , and teachers . We would impress upon our Chartist brethren generally tho necessity of instructing the rising generation in those principles which can alone regenerate society .
R 0 CHOAI 1 E .- —Two lectures have been delivered in the Charter Association Room , by William Dixon . The audience , on both occasions , was large and respectable . Several new members were enrolled . HYX / rON . —Mr . Diokinson delivered a lecture in the Chartist ! Association Room , last Sunday afternoon , to a crowded audiouee . Mr . Monarch , of Sunderland , lectured in the evening to a very good company . { ABERDEEN .- —We go on bravely here with the new Organisation . The distribution of cards of membership by Mr . O'Connor has been foliowed up by the eiiroiuiontiuf the names , age , aDd residence of the parties . These have been divided into districts and classed into tens , each having a leader who collects the ^ weekly pennies . From the classleaders it is purposed to elect tho Committee of . Management . Thus we are so far in advance ; and
we doubt not but the scheme will meet with general support among the people , if their monies be laid out in such a manner as will force their claims on the serious attention of the Legislature . We would fain hope that all ! wranglings will cease ; and that men professing to , have sound judgment , will not any more be at throat cutting with each other . Those who are imbued with a spirit for continuing such a base game , while they profess to have the cause of the people ! at heart , are at best , but masked hypocrite . " . We think the Chartists ot England and Scotland ought tojdo something towards raising a national fund by ; voluntary eubscription , This ought to be entered into immediately , and have-it completed by the new year . We cannot bjlieve thai any man will say ] that such a subscription is not necessary ; accordingly we hope to see that this hnmble suggestion will ! be responded to in every quarter . —Correspondent .
Heywood . —Commadore Mead ( who has made this village his temporary place of residence ) has instructed the Chartists by the delivery of a number of lectures on Theology , Politics , and Temperance . On Sunday last , Mr . Mead delivered two sermons iu the Chartist Room , Hartley-street . SHEFFIELD . —Fie Trek Lane . —On Sunday evening , Mr . West delivered bis third lecture on " Ireland and her wrongs" to a highly respectable , numerous , and attentive auditory , Mr . Brigga in the chair ; the subject of ; Mr . West ' s lecture being ,, "' tb . 9 true nature , cause , and origin of agrarian outrages . " Many Irishmen attended to hoar how it ¦ would be explained before an English audumce . Mr . West traced them to their proper source , the unnatural competition
that exists for occupation of the Land ; be vindicated the Irian character against the calumnies that are constantly being heaped upon it by the English hireling press , and proved that wherever incendiarism , the houghing of cattle , robbing of fire arms—crimes that constitute the stock of the calendar at an Irish county assize—existed , they were to be traced to the unbeatable tyranny of the middleman or the horrible effects of the clearing system . Mr . ' West next explained how these crimes were concocted and perpetrated in many instances by the middleman and his agents , for the purpose of producing an impression of danger on the mind of the absentee proprietor ; thus preventing him from
visiting his estate , and judging for himself of the moral character and physical condition of bis tenants , and tUeir livbeurera . Mr . West dwelt at great lengta on ttte evils of tae Subletting Act , and the present law of tenure in Ireland , and concluded an instructive and interesting lecture amid the approbation of the meeting . —On Monday evening , a public discussion took place in the above room , on the question , " Whether is a republican or monaichial form of government most conducive to the welfare of a nation ? " Mt . Goodlad in the chair . Mr . H » U opened the debate , contending ' for a democratic republic ; Mr . West replied , and was followed by Mr . Evensbn and Mr . Briggs ; and the discussvou was adjourned to Sunday afternoon .
MR . Clark's TOUR , —I left London on Monday week , per railwsy , forj Bristol . Previous to the train starting , a man came round , as is usually the case , with the daily and weekly papera S > me wanted the Tunes , otburs the Chronicle , the St tiritt . &c .: all seemed to be taken up with some party scribbler . Seeing that politics was to be the order of the day , I was resolved upon baring my " " j aa well as the leat . I therefore waited until the inewsman Bad gone Some distance from the carriage ) in which I waa seated , when t called out to him , at the top of my voice . to bring me the A 0 ; them Stir . Tbis \ caused my respectable fellowtravellers to open widely their eyes , ears , and mouths : those vrho sat next me ; moved away , and all looked " the moat unutterable thincs . " In the course of
conversation , one person , who appeared to be a gentleman farmer , stated that his principal objection against the Chartists , and F . O'Connor in particular , was , that if their land views we'e carried out , masters could not get labourers at any price ' tot if men had land of their own they would attend to it , and let the farmers or masters get theirs done as best they could . No , no ; he had seeB too much of that ; tot in hia own neighbourhood a gentleman had ' adopted the small-farm plan , and now the men actually say w they'll be d—d if they will work for anybody until they have done their own ; and then they must be well paid . " ThiB little fact gave me much pleasure ; it more than ever convinced me that our cruel oppressors know the possession of the laud would make ua independent ;
and that they dread more than anything else . I attended a meeting at Bristol in tae evening . The chair was most ably filled by Mr . Newman , one of the few honbst shopkeepers who have bad the manliuesd to brave the persecution and contumely consequent upon an honourable adherence to the deznaud for tho Caarter . At the close of my lecture , which occupied about an hour ; and a half in delivery , a few members were added , i moat of the meeting being already enrolled . —On Tuesday I proceeded to Batn . The conduct of certain gett&inen in going over to another party has bad the ; eff . ct ( whether intended or not ) of disgusting and disheartening the people ; it has all but annihilated every vestage of public confidence ; the result of which is to be seen in the
criminal apathy so painfully apparent to all who take an interest in forwarding the causa of liberty . I lectured to an audience « a large as the room would contain . A . t the close thirty-three catda were disposed of . Mr . Twite , a veteran , who ocbupied the chair , was amongst the first to enter the new Association . All present expressed a desire to see the movement prosper . —On Wednesday I went to Trowbridge , a town in Wiltshire , containing a population of twelve or thirteen thousand inhabitants , chiefly engaged iu the manufacturing of woollen cloth . Here also , aa at Bath , the same cause has produced ¦ similar effects . A few years ago nearly every workingiwan in the place Wit * a Chartist ; Trowbridge waa thea the Todmordeu of the West ; but since " respectability' ! has applied its golden
arguments to the pliable understandings of our " Fmnfelius "(?) the worst result * have ensued . A meeting could not be held until ! Thursday evening , when I lectured in tho Democratic Hall . Mr . Watts , a shopkeeper presided , and at the conclusion he set the example of emoUijog . 1 disposed of fortyfour cards , and the meeting then separatad—I then retraced my steps to Bristol , where I lectured on Tuesday eveniag to a much more numerous meeting than on the preceding Monday . My subject was , " the benefits of machinery . " On Monday I left Bristol for Cheltenham ; travelled through a beautiful country , a distance of forty miles . I j found on my arrival , that through the misdirection of a letter from the Bristol secretary to the Cheltenham friends , there could be no meeting until to-night I lamented this tbe more , as
on my leaving Bristol in the morning , I saw placards oat announcing that I would lecture the same evening in the Cannon-street Room ; this of course I could not do , as the engagemeat bad J been made with the Cheltenham friends a week prevtoos ; nor ooold I then trait upon any of the Cannon-street council , as the coach was just leaving for Cheltenham and I wm forced to mount ; nor did any of the Cannon-street council attend mf lecture on the Sunday evening previous : bad they done bo , Vhe disappointment weuld not have taken place , as I could then have stated positively what my engagements were . At Cheltenham the cause is in a much more healthy state than any other place I have yet visited , to-night and ] to-morrow night I lecture here ; the following two nighte I lecture at Stroud and Wotton-under-Edge . ¦ Thomas Clark .

SWEATING MACHINES ! Wo request the attention of our readers to the following expoburo of the horrible oppression to which the few ruffians , and City shopocrats subject their wretched "workmen , the journeymen tailors of the metropolis . Surely society is near its dissolution m this acenrsed conntry , when free-trading " miscreants can by such divilish means as the following , grind fortunes ont of their unhappy slaves , doomed to worse than Carolina stripes , or Egyptian bonds 1 Guildhali ~—Sir Peter Laurie , after ; disposing of some charges , inquired if a journeyman tailor named Richard Morgan , who had written a long letter to him on the grievances of hia trade ] was in the rOODQ . Morgan presented himself .
The letter complained of the low prices paid by the clothing of the Jewish faith ; but there was another evil < qually pernicious , into which nearly all the city tailors had fallen , and which the writer thought the Alderman might , by exposure , assist in destroying—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 daj , and on Saints' d&jB and Sundays , as well as other days . A master who could onoe keep twenty journeymen 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 masters , at the same time . To get through this mass of work , the man eet up a sweating machine . He hired two experienced hands willing to work at retfUOed Wages ( perhaps from loss of character ) . To these he added a con pie 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 , and sleep together . This forms a sweating machine , to which the master tailor sends a gentleman ' s coat at night to be manufactured by nine o'clock the next
