WEAVERS OF COVEN- TRY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
COVENTRY, Atia 19'a,
SIR—In perusing your par er of the 18th inst.,
much pleased to see your powerful pen engaged ia lefaY;
ing before the country the severe reductions in la'nef
attempted to be forced upon the working peaPle -
Carlisle and Nottingham. Unfortunately we in Coventry,
have this very week had forced upon us a reduction °:
20 per cent. on the prices paid for riband weaving, th,ll
reducing the men engaged in that business to paaPerlsiine
and beggary. These are circumstances, however litt
they may be thought of, in which the substantial iate•
rests of the country are involved ; here are two
three large masses of men being hurried to ruin, disc°,;
tent, resentment, and revenge. How a State, with tu,
o
mass of its population destitute of the necessaries '
life, can be secure, its Government and institutioni
spected, or even property safe, I know not.
There is a fact connected with the reduction ;of
wages in Coventry which ought to be known. A Prh‘ni;
cipal manufacturer, the leader in this most aboalina':
act of oppression, and whose mal-practices are It:
chief cause, is a zealot of the Church, and a 71c%
Tory : and, like a true Aristocrat, refuses to have ev,-,J
a conference with the weavers or deputies apPo'n
by them.

I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
A WEAVD'
