The Tailors' strike has reached a new phase. The 2,500

men now on strike have agreed to waive for the present the particular question on which they struck—the uniform time log ; and now simply ask for the settlement of that and similar questions by reference to a joint committee of masters and men. Though many of the masters shrink from treating with the men as a body, there is great probability of a settlement, Monday next being the day fixed for the masters to reply. Should the reply be unfavour- able, the men persist in their resolve to emigrate en masse. Already subscriptions have been raised for twenty passages to the United States, which were balloted for the other day. American tailors will possibly be able to turn out good clothes at last.
