BRADFORD COM 0 IRB A ND WE AV 11 RS.—There is no al-
teration in the state of affairs at Bradford. The masters
and men continue to meet as usual, but without any ap-
proach to a settlement of their differences. The number
iof persons out of employment is weekly increasing, as all
those who belong to the Union cease to work when they
have finished the goods or the wool they had in hand at
th
e strike. The Lancashire Papers state the number se(
unemployed persona in this district at 30,000, which is
nearly ten times as many as the actual number. However,
the evil is bad enough, and great hardships are sustained
by the workmen and their families.
The wire-drawers at Rastrick, near Halifax, hare dis-
[continued their strike and resumed work, not at the ad-
ranee offered by the master card-makers, but at the old
Irate, or something under. Some of them who were fore-
most in the turn-out repented of their conduct, and have
tvm tendered their services at a reduced rate, unknown to
those of their fellow-workmen they have misled. Slimy

of the men have been discharged by the masters, without
a prospect of soon obtaining employincnt.—Lccd4 Paps'••

MR. O'CONNELL AND Mil. LAWLESS.
A few days ago, we published Mr. O'Connell's Address
to the Cat! bl ca of Ireland, in which he enhounces his de-
termination t r form a new Catholic Association and collect
a new Catholic Rent. In this letter, Mr. Crednnell spoke
contemptuously of hit, Lateless, the editor Of the Bqjicsi
Irishman, observing, the.; " the under..grotil of poor Jack
Lawless, and his few, an{ foolish partisans,. may be, as it
has, been,
,a mere source df laughter And ridicule." Mr. ,
LawlesS hag written a reply to Mr, O'Connell, in Ili A&
dress to his fellow, Catholiee of Ireland, which iltmeart hi
the MN:: Irish*teh (of which sMr. Lawless is editor) of
Friday last. It is known the Mr. Lawless had offended
Mr. O'Connell, by opposing the VW brought into the
House of Commons, for disfranchising ths,Forty .Shilling
Vreehohlers, and the plan of paying the Roman Catholic
Clergy ; and although something like a ratoniliatidh Wag
effected between them, yet it seeing by no Means Cordial.
In his letter, which is temperately written, the reVerie of
that of his opponent, Mr. Lawless shows that a .srrY dit7
ferent feeling towards him once marked Mr. O'Conhell'a
conduct, as will be seen by, the following letter, addressed
to Mr. Latilets silt years ago i— •

Theiliggistratas of College-street Police-office continued yeas.:
day, as on the two preceding days, indefatigably engaged; from an
early hour in the morning until near five o'clock in the evening, in
examining witneaseti, and, by every means in their power, investi:,
gating the late shocking transaction. On the terminilion of the
day's business. two men, who had been taken up on suspadon, *egg
discharged. Two other men, after undergoing a long examinations
were committed to Newgate; to be brought up to-day for niergami-
nation. t
Mr. Goodison, Chief reace-offiCer of College-sliest Polioe-offiCe,
who has been most Indefatigable In his exeruotts_ to discover the pet -
petrators or this atrocious deed, ye:terday succeeded in apprehend_
leg a man named Thos. Doyle, qii4-porteL,against whom posititst
intormation has been sworn, that at the incment of the murder ha
was seen armed with a bludgeon, and amongst the part whb ea-

On Thursday, Peace Officers Montgomery Rod Keane, lICCOSIIA
re/
ponied by two other persons, boarded the St. George Steam Picket,
lying in Kingstown Harbour, in order to search for some of the
gang concerned in the murder of Andrew Merchant. Pence Officer
.Montgomery stopped ill the boat along-side whilst the remainder of
the party went on hoard, where they had been about five minutes
when the packet got under weigh, and stood out to sea. The boat
was towed after her, in which Peace Officer Montgomery remained,
to a considerable distance from the harbour, when, at length the
vessel getting so much weigh, the painter parted, and the boat dropped
astern, being nearly upset in the tough sea, caused by the motion
of the wheels of the engine in the water; Moutgonvery returned,
and reported here. that his brother officer Keane, and the two per.:
sons who accompanied him, toi above stated, were on their passage
to Liverpool. It is strongly suspected, that some of the perscnsi
whom they were in pursuit of, arc on board the St. George. Vre
can hardly think it possible, that the Captain Of the St. Ocirge
set sail, knowing that the officer and the two other persons were on
board ; but however the circumstance occurred, the ends of juaticea
if not entirely defeated, are, at least, considerably obstructed, tly
the absence of the two nersons who accompanied the officers, ut
order to identify those concerned in th 6 murder.—Dablin Freer/tater
