Sim :--Having read the statement of yoar Dublin cor- respondent in this day’s paper I have been so inuech struck bygwhot I know to be misstatements in it that I cannot reiraia from writing to you on the subject. I know that there are many things that are not would with to eve thom in poor Ireland, but L regret to sey that I believe the greater part of thom are caused by the peo- ple themselves, and not by the English government Your correspondent eays the tradesmen of Dublin are, as aclasy, very poor, and that handicraft callings seem to be fast dying out; and he further gtates that the wages of a Dublin mechanic average about eighteen shillings per week. Now, sir, what are tho facts in reference to the tradesmen of Dublin? A carpenter earns from twen ty-six shillings to two pounds per week, a bricklayer twenty-cight shillings, a painter twenty-five ehillings, a watchmaker fram twenty-five ebillings to seventy ebil- Jings, a smith from thirty shillings to two pounds ten shillings, @ tabinet weaver from two pounds to three pounds per week; and a good workinan at any trade can keep himself and family (if sober) in. respectability and comfort, and put some money in the savings bonk; and your correspondent, if be had been in Dublin at the time of the imanguration of the O'Connell monume:.t last year, would have seen the respectable and intelligent tradesmen of Dublin turning out in Uhousands—a eredit to any country by their appearance-—and he would have found that the bank clerks and government officials were not the only well dressed persons In tho country. He further states that the Dublin ¢radesmen have to live in rooms (how many tradesmen in New York have rooms of their own to live in?); but he would further lead you to infer that their wives have to keep pigeinthem. T defy him to gi { any tradlosmen's wives having to ki ir roomsand yards for the sup port of they No, sir, it is only the old inenlt. of “Paddy and the pigs.” ‘He’ tells you that the Dubtin tradesmen cannot be ra coe! during ihe winter; that they have to burn “peat fuel.”’ How neat in bis language your correspondent has gotien after sixteen years’ residence in America; he could not call it tort. Every Irishman knows it by that name, and aleo knows that, though it can be bought for sixteen sode a penny, it is not as cheap to burn as English Coal, which can be bought at eixteon shillings € ton, one bar of which will keep a good fire in a room fora week, With regard to the printers of lubiin, 1 know that his staternent ie not correct, as I have been well acquainted with many of them, and know from experience that they could in their families in the respectable way they do on the pitiauee mentioned by him; and as @ body they aro second to noue in intelli. gence and respectability. He saye that the effect of the bad diet enfecbles the Dublin tradesmen and families so mech that they are almost all suffering from diseaeos, Sir, from eormo youre’ experience as an unpaid Foor law guardian, T am enabled to ray that your corm epondent ta wrong. Rarely will you find a tradeeman in the poorboure wLo has not been brought so by his own misconduct; and no trades. man need be for one hour wityout the best medical ad- view and medicne thatcan be found in any city, He has ouly to epply to the Diepensary at all times for it day and night, and it must be given if required, free o charge; anc there are aieo hundreds of first class medical men wlio, without fee or reward, eee patients at th ir own houres every morning, and give them advice and assist ance if requir d, Ho next has a fling at the Lublin car. men, and be ieile you they bavé to work hard (I would like to know what tradesman or eariman in New York hax not to work hard); but, sir, 1 have known many of those men to earn from gix sbillings to thirty #hull day; and, taking a shilling as thirty cents, as stated by , correspondent, this comes to a good enm in tho day for men who are badly off.

He also tells you that very little building has been sutectaben of fase years, and that a house you could get ‘or thirty pounds you must now pay seventy pounds for. Now, sir, what is the fuct? That thousands of houses have been built withia the last few years in and about the city of Dublin, Whole townsh ps have grown up where there were formerly only a few cottages—in Black Rock, Rathmines, Ruw >andymount, Monkstown, Stilorgan townships; od’ the city bas changed its appearance for the bette: o my ch within the past six- ten months that you w ost think you had got into another place. W..vie sireets have almost been re- built, and where formerly yu saw miserable little shops you will now see maguiticent butidings. Take, for in- stance, Grafton street—every house in it has been almost: rebuilt, and spiendid plate glass fronts put im the shops; Nassau street ditto; tackvilie pin genom Dame street, College Green and Westmoreland street have almost all changed their appearancs within the last few years, and every house is found well filled with all the elegances in their several ways that money can purchase and nature desire, aud yet pene, correspondent would have vou believe that everything in it is wretched and miserable. But no doubt rent in thie ie high, but it is situated like your Broadway, in the best part of the city, but in the outlets aud other parts rents aré not one shilling higher. But the taxes are not taxes put on by English misruie, but by the Irish corporation pay their off ials and fer the improvement of the J But, air, ae correspondent seems to gloat over the possibility of the Irish Protestant charch being further despoited of its property. I do not betiove (if it was powible to do it) that it would be as popular as he seems to think, Hundreds of the poor Roman Catholics of my native land know well that it was his Protestant Reverenoe that stood by them during the years of tamine and disease-the donor of the food and comforts supplied to them from his slender means; and often when adv.c* and ass.ziance was wanted it was to him they came, and it has been found at his house. And [ believe, -if ‘not worried and harassed by duterested agitators and oth rs who mak @ livel hood out of cratng imavinary grievances, they would be a happy, contented and industrious people.

Ricumono, Va., Dec, 18, 1865, INSIDE VIEWS O THB PMORABIR VIRGINIA SENATORIAL eel coxTust, There is a decidedlf strong feeling among the pure Virginians in the Legislature of this State in favor of going into a new election of United States Senators, and there is not the slightest doubt that a majority of both houses would openly pursue this course could they see their way clear at Washington, The great and only effort now is to study moral effect in the legislation—id et, to do as much Confederate legislation as possible without inearring the direct or implied censure of the President and Congress. TUK VARIOUS CANDIDATES, All the factions have each a full set of candidates representing the various shades of loyal and Confederate opinion, and their respective merits have warm and earnest canvaseers in the two halls, the hotels and the less viciblo arena, the party caucur, All that ‘prevents an attempted clevtion is, as intimated, the mortal fear of the national authorities, VIL CONMEDERAT.

Fourtn District Police Court Ho: A Fine Edifice—Its Cost, Construction and Dimensions, Kec. On Fifty-seventh street, near Third avenue, stands one of the most beautifully designed and commodious conrt houses and primary jails in the Un'ted States, It is the Police Court building of the Fourth district, presided over by Justices Connolly and Kelly. Situated in tho upper portion of New York, it has up to the present time escaped the attention and’ admiration which its superior merits 80 well deserve, Costing but a mero fraciion of the money that the City Hall edifice will cost, and of course not as showy or extensive, it is never- theless trne that it bas mawy features of use and comfort which ex-Mayor Gunther's favorite sanctuary will not poesens. aonemare In constructing the Court House this district deemed it advantageous to pay special attention, not to mere display, but to system and con- veutence in the interior, To obtain precisa know- ledge of the most thorough modern plans and appliances, James H. Welch, then Justice preMing, visited Europe, examining the model establishments in France, d and Ireland. His experience in the Old Worid ted many features of the plan upon which the new ing was constructed. The work was put into the dandy of John W, Rich, the chief architect in ths con f rant Hospital on Ward's Island, laving of the corner stone of which last fall was the oveasion for interesting proceed! lie banquet shes from Thurlow Wee other public AN AnOnIT ‘The style of architecture constructed of brick, trimmed with olive stone imported from Nova Scotia, It frouts on Fifty-seventh street, aud stands on alot one hundred feet square. The building is cighty fect on Fifty-seventh by ninety-three back, thus leaving a space of ten feet of unoccupied land on every side, to prevent too close contiguity with neighboring property owners, Around this space is a high wall, the portion opposite the prison being built so as to cut off all danger from inside and intrusive curiosity from without, There is a handsome iron fence on the street side and. iron railings 20 the basement windows. The four pillars and ‘cap of the front portico are of olive stone. The chief entrance is reached by a large flight of stairs, with 4 spacious Janding half way, with iron railing and gates, THE INTERIOR. ‘The front part of the first story consists of hall and two large court rooms, originally designed for privat» police cases; but, by permission of the Fonrth district Judge, it is at presenta court room and clerk’s office of the Seventh Civil district, embracg the Twelfth, Nine- teenth and Twenty-second wards—Justice, John A.

The body of each court room is partitioned off very skilfully. An elevated Witness box, close to the bench ; next, the parties arraigned; third, members of the press; fourth interested in cases; fifth, spectators—each d vided by appropriate rafling. The room is heated by steam and lighted by three ects of chandeliors, ‘Tho bench is ingeniously constructed, with beautiful bookcase back by the wall, surmounted by the State cont of arms, fabricated from certa n metals and prettily gilt, Tho court rooms are airy and spacious, capable of nc- commodating three to tive hundred people each. They stand ateach end of the building, and each has attached to it three sets of private ante-rooms, for malo und femalo prisoners apart, with closets attached to each ‘Apartinent, As the prisoners’ names are cal they are conducted by the officer in attendance to the witness box by private entrance, and in the meantime are sated the mortification suffered in other police courts from the offensive staring and observation of spectators.

In the rear of tho reception room there ie a “private examination room,” where in delicate cases peculiar testi- mony is reovived by an officer of the court. This, to- goter with the private ante rooms mentioned above, af- fords salutary protection to the fo lings of parties who, possibly innocent if accused, or horrified at publicity if accusers, shrink in other cases from judicial investiga- tion, ‘The examination room, or “Star Chamber,” it ts supposed by attaches of the building, could disclose ticklish tales were it endowed with the faculty of spoech, But this is forbiddon ground ; no we leave it, Tooking around the boitding, one is strock by the clockwork regularity and cleanliness of every room, cloet, article of furniture, &e.
