ments connected with the strike, emembled et the Parlours'
Arms, Johnson-street, Milbank, and took into consideration
• vast number of emunnsitations which have been received

from all parts of the country. It is at present doubtful what
is the precise number of men in the metropolis who are out
on strike, but it is estimated that the number cannot be lees
than 35,000 ; many appear to think it is nearer 60,000. The
committee are engaged in making up returns from which
w►en completed the precise nature end amount of the strike
may be infctred.

to ask his opinion upon the comes that ought to be punned
is the peculiar position in which the masters were plead.
Mr. Tate, M.P., in introducing the deputation,
briefly Denoted the principal katuree by which the strike
wee surrounded. He then referred to the unjust demands
which be conceived were being made upon the mestere, and

to the great amount of inconvenience the strike would pro-

ARCHBISHOP CULLEN ON THE ITALIAN WEE-
nox.—The following is as extract bona a letter from Arch-
bishop Cullen to the clergy of Dublin ;—" The prayers for
pesos are to be continued until Author directioes. Peace is
not as yet dednitively concluded, and Italy la still eons
ruled. Attempts of the most wicked character are made by
revolutionary sad secret moieties, ea well se by wily and
hada 'totems°, to rob the Pope of his temporal authority
which is ex necessary for the free exercise of his spiritual
pewees. Were the Pope subject to any other sovereign, he
would be obliged to yield, is the management of the affairs
at religion, to the wishes of that sovereign, or undergo con-
tinual persecutiotts, as we ham from the history of the first
exam centurissof the thumb, when innumerable pontiffs
were either martyred by Pegs& emperors, or exiled and
efillicted even by the Christian rulers of the east end neut.
Rebore your pee*, thsrelore, to pray that pesos may he
pannmeatly restored, that the enemies of religion may be
ocameted, or covered with shame; and that our good and
hely Peps may be set ealy triumphant in his pelmet
elstegglea, but that he may scquire till that power and inh-

Nulty over the world."

It is not certain that the Lord Chief Baron will again pre-
side; on the contrary, it is generally thought that the trial
will be presided over by the Lord Chief Junco of the Court
of Queen's Bench (Sir Alexander Cockburn). During the
interval which has etipeed tiara the last trial the solicitors
