      THE "SUN , * AND ITS AUTHORITY . We give the following few lines from the Sun . •—. " Fridat Morning . — Mr . O'CoBDril didnotappear at the meeting yesterday , and I believe that it was fortunate he did not do bo , for gome persons were apprehended by the police , having daggers in . their possession . This is a fact of which I have been informed upon authority on the correctness of which I have every reason to rely . It was to oppose and shout him down , that the Chartists were organised in such numbers , and it was for this pnrposa , toothey had

      , supplied themselves with whistles , the effect of which they first tried n » on the Chairman , upon Mr . Hume , and ilr . Roebnci , the last of whom so properly rebuked them . The meeting itself was , as far as numbers went , a very magnificent one , there being present at least eight thousand persons , and of thtse there were not less than fifteen hundred Chartists ; the remainder were Reformers , who look f -r Vote by Billot , House hold Suffrage , and Re-distribmion cf Electoral Districts , Triennial Parliaments , and no Property Qualification f-jT ileiubers . "

      Of this we shall merely say that the ' penny-a-liner " who wrote it , also concocted it : and , when he wrote it he knew that he told a wilful , barefaced , malicious , but harmless he—harmless , because it appears " on authority" in the " Sun . " In very truth , we lament and grieve that our contemporary should allow himself to be made a standing joke for scribblers , the butt of " authority . " No matter where the jest comes from , whether from Bristol or Leeds , the poor Sun is sure to be the victim . We need not contradict the assertion , as every one knows that it is false as false can be . In fact , some of our domestic " Suns " would have rejoiced too much in the God-send , to have allowed the metropolitan luminary the first cut at the tit-bit .

      In another pin of *' ' Mr . Authority ' s" report , he say 3 that " a half-drunken Chartist , upon the platform , observed to him that there could not be fower than 50 , 000 persona present . ' This is as big a lie as the other fact " upon authority ; '' for , unless " Mr . Authority" himself was drunk , there was not a drunken man at the meeting . In what is called the comment upon the proceedings , the Sun appears to think , and would make others think , that the- meeting was for a compromise oi

      minor differences , and was terminated by an alliance among " Reformers . " Poor luminary ! how dark his lamp shines ! The compromise was just this •—The Chartists said , in very plain terms , " Behold our banner and our motto , —the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter ! and those who are willing to enlist are welcome . But no party shall agitate for any less measure—not even for a repeal of the Corn Laws , the ' honest Billot , ' H-o-u-s-e-hold Suffrage , or Short Parliaments ; " and this is what the Sun calls compromise !

      The meeting was Jhe death-b ; ow of faction and of Wiri fc'gery , and of fiction , which is better . Bat why waste so much time with the butt of " authority " ! . ' > Just a- Tvord . O'Co . vnor , who had no more to do with the meeting than the Sun , is charged with all they choose to alledge ; while , most anxious in the midst of so much affected accuracy , every one of the " Establishment" stops short at the vote of confidence in 0 'Co . \ " . \ ob—not one publishes that part , " upon authority , " of the meeting 1

      THE QUEEN'S RECITATION . Nrisray cares and labours , have , we presume , of late engrossed the time of our chief magistrate eo fully , that sL . e ha 3 ound it difficult to afford much leisure for the conning of tasks about state matters ; and hence , the only merit of the royal homily—its shortness . We are sorry that we cannot accord to it the other quality of a jackass ' s gallop—sweetness . It is in every way deserving of the eloquent phraseology of our gallant neighbour— " meagre and miserable . " Its rejoicing i 3 over the rapine , bloodshed , treachery , rapacity , and busy-bodyvillainy which characterize all our intercourse with foreign cations ; its congratulations are on

      the peaceful aspect of our neighbours , while France is surrounding her cuics with walls , and preparing to bristle them with cannon ; its prophetic hints are at more taxes , and znore . striugent laws , to keep down the Chartists . The Chartists , however , have pretty well learned how to take care of themselves . They wiD laugh at the precautionary physical force arrangements which may be taken , and quietly render them all nugatory in their onward progress to the Charter . We cannot affjrd more space for comment on the first baiting , for the present session , of the Tax-trap , lest our passing note should fail , in both those essentials , of which we have stated the Queen ' s lesson to be deficient in die .

      THE PROPOSED " UNION " MOVEMENT . We request attention to a very well written letter on our 7 th page , signed William Hick . With the sentiment ? , generally , expressed in that letter , we most cordially concur . We think , however , that the writer has mistaken both the meaning and the probable effect of the address from the Beveral Chartist delegates published in our last . He seem 3 to think that the '" beneficial union of the working classes with the honest advocates of right in every other cla ; =, " spoken of by the delegates , must necessarily involve the placing of the people under

      middleclass guidance and leadership , and he is naturally therefore fearful that some faimilar humbug to that of the Jtsform Bill agitation will be practised on them : indeed he broadly intimates an opinion , that it is the purpose of the delegates to solicit the middle classes to come out and " lead" the people . We believe him to be , here , labouring under a great mistake . We believe that none of the delegates mean any such thing . The only " union" contemplated by the delegates , or by the people , is this : —They think the time is near , when all the classes of society , who live upon

      the labourerSjWill see their own interest to be necessarily and immediately jeopardised by the locger denial of justice to the masses ; aud they expect , therefore , to see the middle and higher classes come over in a body to the Universal Suffrage ranks and lend their aid to the accomplishment of that which [ key- have hitherto impeded in its progress , as the best means of securing the continuance and establishment of their own rights , and of our position , altogether , as a nation , among the nations of the earth . " In that case they will accept the assistance of those classes ; they will show to them the difference in spirit between a people and a faction ; they will suffer the mantle of returning honesty

      to cover the foulness of past delinquencies , and adrait them to the privilege of co-operating for the general good . But whoever thinks to place them again at the head of any popular movement will find the people having too vivid a recollection ot their former pranks in that position to allow it to bs done . No , no ; the people know them too well . No more middle clas 3 leadership ! No mow " Reform" mania ! The people have taken their own affairs into their own hands ; the helm of the vessel is under their own guidance , and it will require more tact than is posssased by the parties whom our friend seems to fear , to wheedle it from them ; and more force than they are possessed of to wrest it from them .

He will see that his present address is inserted . His song will appear next week . Isaac Uhwin deprecates the drinking customs of society ; commends total abstinence ; ascribes the failure of many societies and public bodies to the mischievous habits engendered by their practice of meeting at public Inns ; and recommends , that wherever practicable ^ Chartists shall eschew all connection with the beer-barrel . We quite agree with him . H . Gkifpjtiis . —We thank him for his numerous and valuable favours ; but we have no room for the

      "talk'' of the Tories at Canterbury . Heuky Tommey . — We have received an insolent letter from some man , uiider this signature , about some communication , sent to us a long time ago , and rejected . He threatens to go to every public meeting , and tell ihe people that the Northern Star is a paid Government paper ! His chief cause of anger seems to be that as we have not inserted his missive , which was to " shake the very foundation of a corrupt Government , " we have not returned it to him . Note we have given public notice many times , that we do not hold ourselves bound to take care of rejected correspondence : and that all parties setting so much value on their lucubrations as to wish for their

      return , must keep copies for themselves . He see no reason for making this Mr . Tommey an exception to this necessary rule , even though the ivjliction of his sore displeasure be the penalty . If our "devil" chance to stumble on his papers while rummaging out the Balaam box for paper to light the office fire with , and if the said "devil" acquaint us with that circumstance , we will order it to be immediately posted off to Mr . Tommey , that he may therewith light his pipe : but this is all we can possibly do for him .

      HARLEBTON { Norfolk . )—The Church Rate *^ - —Un the refusal of Mr . Laidler , dissenting preacher . of this town , to pay a church-rate of Is . 4 id ., the usual legal proceedings were commenced against him ; and a table aud seven chairs were seized from his house , undor a distress warrant , which were brought to the hammer b y Mr . Hedgeman , on the 18 ih inst ., and disposed of at low prices to two individuals . A large concourse of persons collected together , of whom a great number were dissenters ; but , however deep their curses mi ^ ht be , they certainly were not very loud , for things passed very quietly . At the conclusion , however , a few of tho wannest dissenters appeared

      quite chop-fallen , andentirely lost their equanimity . High words were bandied between them and the auctioneer , and we imagined we heard throats of " Slapping your face , if you say more to me "— " Do , if you dare , I defy you "—and "A coroner's inquest will be the next thing we hear of , " &c . But it might arise from our dullness of hearing ; of course , it is quite unreasonable to suppose that sucli words could ever escape the lips of ouv " moral force" Whigs aud Tories ! We will yield to none in our attachment < , o genuine liberty , including the redress of all " Disseuter ' s grievances ; " but , from our soul , wo believe that the opponents of church-rates are not animated by a spark of true patriotism . We will say nothing about their

      directing their opposition against the trifling church-rate , whilst of the enormous amount levied in the shape of tithes , we never hear a word . We will pass this over , and just analyse their " conscientious" professions . All their opposition is for " conscience " sake—all because they wish to be done unto , as they would do unto others . Now , wo will just ask , 13 not the execrable New Poor Law as adverse to the conscience of every humane man as the church-rate can be to tho dissenters ? Is not the usurpation of the natural and social rights of the people of this country , aud the forcing of tyrannical laws , which are the offspring ' of unlawful might , down the throats of the people , as adverse to the conscience of every true Chartist , as compulsory assessments can be to ihe dissenters ? We unhesitatingly declare they are , and of vastly more consequence to the temporal and eternal well-being of the people , than their

      trumpery , trifling church-rate 1 How these hypocrites have respected the conscientious scruples of Poor Law Repealers and Chartists , let their servile , " godly" journal answer . Have they not always been the foremost to urge on the harpies of the law to prosecute m ; n who have ten thousand times more to complain of than they have ] And who , instead of seeking the good of a class , or a Beet , are wishing and striving for Universal Liberty , both bedy and mind . Self is the " ruling principle "—in this struggle they are totally regardless of the Heaven-.-prung rights of their fellow-creatures . Wore the dreadful persecutions of the days of the whoremonger , Charles the Second , revived , and the dissenting body brought to a knowledge of that Truth tritifh they profess , but , unhappily , know not , they would acknowledge that Heaven was just to them in these rt > tnbutivo judgments . —Correspondent .

      LONDON . —Journeymen ' s Trades' Hall District Meetikg . —( By our own Correspondent . )—On Monday evening , the committee for promoting the erection of a Journeymen ' s Trades" Hall in the metropolis , convened a public meeting in the schoolroom , Aylesbury-street , Clerkenwoll , in furtherance of their object ; at half-past eight Mr . Peat , carpenter , was called to the chair , and in a lucid address demonstrated the advantages that must accrue to the working men of London from tlie erection of the

      contemplated institution . —Mr . Hetherington , who was recoived with loud and general cheering , moved the first resolution : — "That this meeting ia oi opinion , that the present condition of the working class , whether as individuals , or composing the various trades of London , is unjubt and degrading , and that the comfort , economy , and influence of their numerous trades' societies would be greatly enhanced by the erec'ion of a hall in some central locality , whero cheaper and better accommodation could be offered for their

      meetings , with a combination of intellectual and social improvemeut secured to the members . "Mr . Boggis , in a temperate and well-received address , seconded the resolution ; which was put from the chair , and carried unanimously . —Mr . Richard Moore camo forward , amidst general applause , to move the second resolution : — "That this meeting is of opinion , that the plan and constitution of a proposed London Journeymen ' s Trades' Hall , " as now submitted , and which is eurolled under the Acts of Parliament , 10 Geo . 4 th , c . 56 " , and 4 and 5 Will . 4 th , c . 40 ; is eminently designed to promote tho convenience and political and moral elevation of the labouring class , and earnestly recommends to the individual operatives of this great metropolis , the

      necessity and importance of their respective trades ' societies immediately taking shares from their funds ; that by their powerful patronage they may stimulate the private exertions of their numerous members , and unitedly secure the speedy erection and permanent management of so desirable an edifice . "Mr . Potts , a delegate from the basket-makers , in a calm , argumentative , and impressive 8 peech , 6 econded the resolution . —A gentleman , ( whose name we did not catch , ) stated that he had only this evening taken up a sliare in the undertaking . He most anxiously and ardently wished it success ; and , with die permission of the Chairman , he had a tew questions to ask the Secretary : —1 . Have any trades ' societies taken up shares , and how many ? 2 . From

      what class -of , trades do the Committee find the greatest encouragement ? 3 . Have they any account at a banker ' s ? 4 . What amount of money , belonging to the Hall fund , is any member allowed to hold ? 5 . Is it contemplated to erect District Halls , in the event of the Central Hall proving successful ? And 6 . Are any profits expected to be realised , by letting the Institution for other purposes than that of the trades ?—Mr . Farren , the Secretary , replied , that about seven or eight united trades have actually taken shares and paid the money , and as many more have given the Committee favourable answers . 2 . They had derived most encouragement from those trades that must necessarily have the greatest hand in the erection of the bulding . 3 . They had an

      account with Messrs . Prescott , Grote , aud Co . in Threadneedle-street ; of whoso liberal conduct to the Committee , Mr . F . spoko in the most eulogistic terms . 4 . The whole amount held by the three Treasurers on the Committee did not exceed a dozen pounds . 5 . This question would be best answered after the operation of the oomtemplated Central Hall should have been tested ; and , lastly , there could be no doubt whatever that a considerable profit would accrue to the shareholders , by allowing other classes the use of the Hall , at a moderate price , when not required for their own purposes . It should be borne in mind that as much as forty guineas were paid for Exeter Hall , for one evening —that this Committee have economised their funds , so that not a soul has received a farthing in the way

      of remuneration for services , neither the Committee nor the Secretary , who have to stop out night after night , at some expence , and at the sacrifice of domestic comforts at home , receiving one farthing from the funds . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Farren concluded by announcing that the Committee had decided on holding their noxt district meeting on Monday next , at the Temperance Hotel , Adelaidesquare , New North-road , Islington ; in order that every quarter of tho metropolis should , as far as practicable , be made acquainted with the objects sought to be achieved . —Some other speakers addressed the meeting , particularly an eccentric old gentleman , who caused much merriment and more uproar , after which thanks were voted to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up .

      BRISTOL— Disgraceful Anti-Socialist Riot at the Hall of Science . —Daniel Sexton was charged , on Monday , with breaking open the doors of the Hall of Science , in Broadmead , and destroying the property therein . —George Lovell , being sworn , said , yesterday evening there was a meeting at tho H « U after worship , and the doors were dosed . Shortly after , those of us who were inside heard a breaking of lamps outside , and » noise as of many persona attempting to force the doors . I went and

      put in some pieces of stroug timber against the doors to secure them . The mob outside got a cart which was in the lane , aad rushed With it sgtinst the doors several times . At length the doors were forced , and we who were inside , only a few individuals , being timid , ran into an adjoining room and shut the door . After some time I opened the door and saw about CO or 100 persons in the Hall , and the prisoner was amongst them . I heard the mob breaking np the forms and sittings , and tearing down the gas fittings . —Mr . Herapath : The magistrates should know

      tha % on every Sunday night , there was a riot in the streets . Yesterday evening , as I was going by the Bush , I saw a crowd of at ieast five hundred persons vehemently hooting at and endeavouring to assail some person who was in a car , and who appeared to be obnoxious to them . I went immediately to tho police-station , called out the reserve force , and had the Btreet cleared . The mob , however , again got sight of the obnoxious individual , and ran after him , and I was obliged to give him in charge to the police for his own protection . The entire riot appeared to me to be owing to some well-dressed young men , who headed aud organised tho mob . A party then came to me , and claimed protection , as the Hall of Science was in the possession of the mob .

      I went down there , and saw again the same youug men who before headed the mob . I have nothing to do with the dogmas of Mr . Owen or Mr . Brindley , but one thing is clearly oar duty ; as magistrates , and that is to afford protection to the public , and I , for one , will do it . —Lovell : I am satisfied the police encourage the mob . When thelaapector came down to the Hall , last night , ho said it served us right . —Mr . Superintendent Fisher : I » aid you first kick up a tow , and then sent for us to put it down . There have been more rows since the Ha ! l of Science has been open than we ever had before . — Mr . Newman : The police have no business to express any opinion at all , one way or the other . Thty are mere machines in the hands of tho magistrates .

      However wrong it may be to hold these meetings on a Sunday , and 1 think it ia wrong , still the police have nothing to do with that . Suppose . any of the mob had heard the remark you made , why they would imagine they were doing right , and thos it is that rows ensue . —Mr . Herapath : It is the duty of the police to afford protection to all her Majesty's subjects . —H . Hayward was then sworn : I aoi not a Socialist ; I was at the Hall of Science last night , and 1 saw the prisoner in the act of breaking open the door with a large log of wood . He was knocking against the door and kicking at it . —By Mr . Herapath : I did not see him break any furniture . — Edward Poole sworn : I am not a Socialist . I saw the prisoner go into the Hall of Science ; he went to

      the platform and lighted a candle , and made a kind of speech ; he then came down from the platform , collared a person , and asked him if ho was a Socialist . The individual replied "No ; " and then ' the prisoner said /^ Simkin is in here ; we will have him out . " —The prisoner said : I had been drinking at the Trout till half-past nine o ' clock , and on coming away 1 met the mob and went to see what was going on , bat 1 waited outside the doors and took no part iu ihe row . —The witness : He collared me and eaid , " Don ' t I do my duty like a man V The witness added , I am no Socialist , but I don ' t like to see the commonwealth destroyed . "—Mr . Shaw , a gentleman who reports tor the Journal office , here called out , " I have heard privately that tho prisoner can

      produce witnesses to prove his innocence of the charge , if he is allowed time . " —Mr . Burgess wished to know it Mr . Shaw was a witness in the case . —Mr . Herapath : In what character does Mr . Shaw attend here \ Is he an advocate!—Tha prisoner then called a young man as a witness , who Baid he was drinking with him till half-past nine at the Trout . On their return they heard a row and went to see what it was . The prisoner did not try ot break in . There was a large mob inside , breaking the thiugs to pieces . —Poole said tho last witness was himself on the platform and taking part in the row . —A boy of the name of Beard then appeared to give evidence on behalf of the prisoner , when Poole identified him also as one of the riotersaud said he

      , saw him take a largo stone and break a lamp . —A person of the uamo of Fisher then stepped forward , and said he could give evidence . On being asked if he was a Socialist , he said ho was . In reply to quesrions from Mr . Herepath , he said , " I believe in a state of rewards and punishments ; I believe I am accountable for my actions ; I believe ia the contents of the book I hold in my hand . " The witness was then sworn , and said— " The first noise had partly subsided in the premises , and I went to open the door of the ante-room for the females who were there , to escape . I opened the door , and saw about twenty individuals in the room ; I saw the

      prisoner take up a piece of quarter-staff and strike something with it , and then go to the side door and strike it . That was the door leading to the room in which the females had taktn refuge . —The prisoner was ordered to find sureties , himself in £ 20 , and two others in £ 10 each" } to keep the peace , and in default was committed to gaol . —In the course of tbemoniing , application was made for summonses against other parties implicated in the above transaction . It was stated that the most disgraceful proceedings had taken place ; that the benches and desks had been broken up , thc-fittinga pulled down , and the dome skylight smashed , and that £ 50 would not replace the damage done .

      SHEFFIELD . —Murder in Sheffield . —On Sunday morning , a dreadful murder was committed in Sheffield , on the body of a man named Beck . The circumstances were of a rather peculiar nature , as it appears the inurdered man wanted some improper intimacy with the murderer's wife . The husband , named George Raney , on returning home late last Saturday night , heard , before he entered his house , cries from his wife , of " Now don't ; now give over , for I expect my master home directly . " On pushing open the door , he saw the house was in total darkness . Thinking that the parties were in criminal intercourse , he rushed in the direction whence the Bound proceeded , and laying hold of the intruder , proceeded to inflict

      upon him sundry heavy blows . They closed , and falling upon a card-table in the room , smashed it to pieces . On the floor Raney was uppermost , and he seized Beck by ihe throat with one hand , and struck him with the other . A gurgling noise in tho throat of Beck alarmed Raney ; and he rushed from his own house to his sister ' s , where he expressed himself very ftarful that he had killed a man ; but whom he did not know . On learning that Beck was actually dead , he declared he would surrender himself to justice ; and was leaving his sister for that purpose , when he met the constable seeking him . An inquest was held on Monday , before Mr . Badger , the coroner , when much evidonce to the effect above s'ated was adduced , and the inquiry eventually adjourned till Thursday .

      Raney , the Sheffield murderer , passed through Leeds , this morning , on his way to York Castle . He came by the mail-train from Sheffield : he was not hand-cuffed or otherwise ironed , and is stated , by the guard of the mail , to have been very cheerful . LEEDS . —Death of Miss Ann Carr— Want of space prevented our noticing last week the death of this extraordinary female , who for many \ eara has been a very prominent character in the neighbourhood of Leeds , as the founder and principal preacher ot the sect of Female Revivalists ; aud which took place at her residence in Regent-street , on Monday , the 18 th instant , after a protracted illness of nearly three years . She was a woman of extraordinary firmness and decision of character ; possessing talents which

      fall to the lot of very few of the more gentle sex , and which pre-eminently fitted her for the peculiar sphere of activity , in which sho was the means of accomplishing much good . The fervency of her religious enthusiasm was calculated to work powerfully upon uncultivated minds , putting a strong check upon the developements of licentiousness in its grosser and more revolting forms , and enlisting tho strong feelings of the animal man in the cause of virtue and religion . This Jed to many extravagances both of doctrine and demeanour , which , while they served equally as a source of amusement to tho thoughtless and profane , and of sorrowful concern to the rationally pious , were yet abundantly counterbalanced by the moral good resulting from her indefatigable labours among the lowest classes of society . She was for 34 years a constant and laborious preacher ; first amoDg the Primitive Methodists , and

      afterwards as tho leader of the new Methodistic sect , which , in conjunction with her friend and celleajrae . Miss Williams , she founded in Leeds , in 1822 . She had a chapel in Regent-street , and another in Brewery Field , both of which are now left to the governance of Miss Williams ; and , at her decease , to bo vested in trustees . She was a person of most benevolent habits and philanthropic disposition , and we believe devoted a considerable property to the prosecution of her benevolent labours in the promotion of religion , temperance , and educatiou , of all which she was the ever-active and " untiring advocate . Tne respect entertained for her was evinced by the thousands who followed her to her last resting-place . She was interred , according to her own request , on the third day after her decease , in the Cemetery , Woodhonse Lane ; and many , while standing near her grave , felt indeed that they had lost a mother and a friend .

      Glasgow , l 9 tb January , 1841 . Sm , —In your last paper , January lGth , a letter of Mr . O * Connor ' s- is given , in which the following pas-» igc occurs : — "Every one / knows how I worked for the cotton spinners . I attended their second trial in January They came home the other day will * an injunction frvm Brougham ,. Wakley , and others , to take no notice ofmb They were witniu , an hour ' s journey of uiy dungeon , and they turned their backs upon me . I forgive them . If they are ever prosecuted again , I will defend them again . "

      The first part of this paragraph is true to the letter , and 1 need not , & 8 an humble individual , confirm what I trust is generally known and appreciated by every working man in ihe realm , —that Mr . O'Connor spares neither exertion , nor expence to forward their interests , aad befriend them , when others forsake them in the hour of peril . But it is the second sentence of the paragraph to which 1 would direct your attention ; wherein it is stated that the liberated cottou spinners had certain " injunctions from Brougham , Wakiey , and others , to take iio notice of Mr . O'Connor . " This , Mr . Editor , I deny in the most emphatic manner ; not less in justice to the parties charged , than in vindica tion of niy own character , as I would be for ever sunk in my own estimation , conld I have condescended to purchase my own liberation or the favour of others on such degrading terms , at the expence of gratitude to a friend whom I revere through principle .

      From whatever quarter Mr . O'Connor has heard this , I can assure him and you , that it is wholly without foundation . ' As to having passed his " dungeon " without paying a visit , I regret to say it is true ; but not iu the sense stated in the paragraph . The truth ia , our anxiety io meet out unhappy wives and children , made us travel at a railroad pace , in the fulfilment of engagements we had made with various towns ia Yorkshire ; while , at the same time , we were utterly ignorant of our proximity to York dungeon , when we took the railway from Selby to Leeds . This ia th » true and only , reason I can give , for circumstances over which we hart-little or no controal . It grieves me t *

      hear Mr . O'Connor say we turned our backs on him . I will just in friendship say , " O thou of iittle faith . " Hoping , Mr . Editor * that you will give insertion to the above remarks , that Mr O'Connor ' s mind may be disabused of a wrong impression , and that the public generally may know that the five persecuted and deeply-injured cotton spinners of Glasgow , never could hare functioned a contract that wouM hare been alike discreditable to all concerned . Your insertion of tho above in Saturday ' s Star , will oblige , Sir , sours , &c . &c , RICUAHD M'NEIL . Bank Tavern , 33 ., Trougate .

      [ I give this letter insertion , and I hare but just on * word to B * y upon it The cotton spinners were several days in Hull , within three hours of York , before they cams to Leeds . When they were at Lecda , I myself asked them if they would not go to York , thft succeeding day , to which I received an evasive and hesitating reply . Mr . Hackett , one of the five cotton spinners , in the hearing of the others , told me in the Music Saloon , at Leeds , that the reason why they had , since their return , ' taken no public notice of O'Connor , not even returning thanks to him , was , because they

      bad been aivised to that line of conduct by Mr . VVakley and their London friends . In none of the resolutions of gratitude for the exertious of friends , passed at the numerous meetings held on . their behalf , that have ever come under my notice , does the name of O'Connor appear , save at Leeds ; and then it was forced on them by the meeting , having been excluded from their original progamme of proceedings entirely . Let these facts speak for themselves . William Hill , Editor N . S . I
