      MOTHER GOOSE . "Wb are irreaEttbly driveii , and , indeed , contrary to our express resolution , to say one word of our friend in her forlorn state . The funeral pall which she to modestly threw over the mangled carcasses of her flock , on Saturday last , karei ua something to hope from her modesty . Of course , we mean the sad and mourning exhibition given as a" correct riew of the interior" of the

      slingbter-iouse . The sight , the Tery sight , was enough io chill tie hotre-t blood , and freeze the warmest irc 3 ginaiion . "We never saw a more dismal figure on the blackest tomb-Etoae , or a more fitting Bgn for such a shop . A few raw-boned nags and white feathers would have made it look like what it truly was , the hearse of a departed virgin sister ; for , alas ! it contained the consumptive remains of the maiden Association—the spinster ' s corpse .

      But XU detptrandutn" is the last and best plank of the shipwrecked politician : and we shall look anxiously , on Saturdiy , for one of those grand strokes of nerel ' y so innocectry hinted at in Mtther Goose ' s yieyr Year ' s prospectus , and in which she asenbes her advance to her freqnent flights of fancy and changes of opinion . ' Hay we not , then , justly look for one of those

      itartling bursts of imagination—an electric shock of fancy—a lund flame of livid light—a volcanic eruption of boiliiig genius ; and , by one touch of hfr tttgic wand , why not Btrike the chimney-pot off the Pirliamsntary H-o-u-s-e , say presto , and , by a sublime effort of harlequin-wandism , convert the infcnijn&tepile , —the H-o-n-s-e , —intoU-B-i-v-e-r-s-a-l ? We have seen changes and transformations fax more incredible .

      May we not expect to receive chastisement for our timidity , and rebuke for our lagging policy , by vi icnouicement that our Universal Suffrage means nothing , acd that the true and magical tr&nsform-Uioa means , the enfranchisement of man and beast —nun , woman , and child ! "Wia ; are the odcis that , out of the scattered fragments of the menagerie , a new , a vigorous , aud reillj moral force Universal Suffrage party does not ipriBg cp , and start into a giant infant existence , liks the ioose with the golden eggs , which we unfortmately killed before she laid I Bnt , then , what becomes of the advertisements ! Aye , there ' s the rub ! " Qnacks" may do for filling Rn $ but doctors know they don ' t pay .

      We fear the case is hopeless : and we would Krongly recommend our friend to study the fiddlefaddle of local politics ; to be a great man in ward * adrestry meetings ; to keep & je&lous eye over the Corporation and all its works ; in short , to be a great Imnimry in a little sphere , which he may irradiate ; for we assure him that his flash is lost long before » rises above the horizon of the great political fismisphere . Wegire this advice with the most kind ' y feeling , » cd sh&H , at ail time 3 , be happy to assist a friend in fiie hoar of need . > o : hicg bat a bold , a Tery bold , a tremendously hold , stroke will do sow . We are prepared for it , wit uerer so startling , " and , therefore , let it come .

      Three removes are as bad as one fire , " poor Sitfcard fays ; but Mother Goote , scorning to be wuna by the ordinary rules of aJm&nac-waEdism , * as assured us that , with her , fire , at least , has had the ^ sct of raising her circulation . Had other authority tiaa a doctor made th « assertion , we should have fissioned , if not doubted it .

      * HE HUSTINGS' PATRIOTS AND MINISTERIAL HACKS . ^ "othi 5 g so much ginks the character of politicians * 5 tiie fact , so boastingly and studiously proclaimed , * k « tke politician , to be efficient , must throw off & « gentleman . Of the truth of this we have had * a excellent specimen just now at Leeds . The hustings' patriots ever have been the greatest ^ hiisterial hacks ; in fact , the crutches of the ntflated body of Whiggery . They go about , in the language of Hcxk , ( the historian , not the " hack , " )" proclaiming that the people are not bo

      ^ governed as they should be , " while they them-• slves are the Tery reserve upon which unjust rd haTe to fall back , when assailed by the way . The Sham-Radicals , in the dishonest hope of Aching something for themselves , hare allowed ' ^ sr patrons to commit wholesale p lunder ; and , in X « at of fact , they are , in political honour , bound o support them , inasmuch as the sods , nephew ? , fcads , eousua , relatives , kith and kin of these ^* ags' hacks , hare been all provided for , either ttiworkhonse job , a police job , & church job , or *>« e other filthy job .

      THE « SUN , " AND ITS AUTHORITY . We gire the following few lines from the Sun : — " Fs . ida . 1 Mokmhg . —ilr . O'Coanell didootappew at the meeting yesterday , and I believe that it was fortunate be did not do to , for some persons were apprehended by the police , having daggers in their possession . This is a fact of which I h » Te bees informed upon authority on the correctaesa 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 purpose , too , they had

      supplied thamseiTea with whistles , the effect of which they flirt tried upon the Chairman , upon Mr . Hume , aud Mr . Roebuck , the last of whom so properly rebuked them . The meeting itself was , as far as numbers went , a Tery magnificent one , there being present at least eight thousand persons , and of these there were not leas than fifteen hundred Chartists ; the remainder were Reformers , who look for Vote by Ballot , Household Saffrage , and Re-distribution cf Electoral Districts , Triennial Parliaments , and no Property Qualification f ^ r Members . "

      Of thiB we shall mersly 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 lie—harmless , because it appears " on authority" in the " Sun . " In Tery 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 " Sun * " would have rejoiced too much in the God-send , to have allowed the metropolitan luminary the first cut at the tit-bit .

      In another part of " Mr . Authority's" report , he says that " a half-drunken Chartist , npon the platform , observed to him that there could not be fewer than ' , 000 persons 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 of

      minor differences , and was terminated by an alliance among " Reformers . " Poor luminary I 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 lesa measure—not even for a repeal of the Corn Laws , the 'honest Ballot , ' H-o-n-s-e-hold SufiYsge , or Short Parliaments ; " and this-is what the Sun calls compromise !

      The meeting was the death-blow of faction and of Whiggery , and of fiction , which is better . Bat why waste bo much time with the butt of " authority " ! ! J Jast a word . O'Connor , who had no more to do witfcfthe 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 O'Coxnob—not one publishes that part , " npon authority , " of the meeting !

      THE QUEEN'S RECITATION . Nubsest cares and labours , have , we presume , of late engrossed the time of our chief magistrate so : fully , that sue has ound it difficult to afford much I leisure for the conning of tasks about state matters ; ! and hence , the only merit of the royal homily—its I 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 is over the rapine , I bloodshed , treachery , rap&city , and basy-body-; villainy which characterize all our intercourse with foreign nations ; its congratulations are on

      the peaceful aspect of our neighbours , while France is surrounding her cnies with walls , and preparing to bristle them with cannon ; its prophetic hints are at more taxes , and more ; stringent laws , to keep down the Chartists . The Chartists , however , have pretty well learned how to take care of themselves . They will laugh at the precautionary physical force arrangements which may be taken , and quietiy 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 one .

      THE PROPOSED " UNION " MOVEMENT . We request attention to a very well written letter on our 7 ih page , signed William Hick . With the sentiments , 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 several Chartist delegates pnblished in our last . He seems to thinkthat = the " beneficial union of the working classes with the honest advocates of right in every other class , "' g poken of by the delegates , mnst necessarily involve the placing of the people under

      middleclass guidance and leadership , and he is naturally therefore fearful that some similar hnmbug to that of the Reform Bill sgitatien 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 nnder 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 labourers , will see their own interest to be necessarily and immediately jeopardised by the loDger denial of justice to the masses ; and they expect , therefore , to see the middle and higher classes come over in a body to the Universal Suffrage ranks and leHd their aid to the accomplishment of that which tkey 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 admit , them to the privilege of co-operating for the general good . Bat whoever thinks to place them again at the head of any popular movement will find the people having too Tivid a recollection of their former pranks in that position to allow it to be done . No , no ; the people knosr them too well . No more middle class leadership ! No more " Reform" mania ! The people have taken their own affairs into their own hands ; the helm of the vessel is nnder their own guidance , and it will require more tact than is possessed by the parties whom our friend Beems to fear , to wheedle it from them ; and more force than they are possessed of to wrest it from them .

Henby Tommey . — We have received an insolent letter from tome man , under this signature , about some communication , sent to us a long time ago , and rejected . He threatens io go to every public meeting , and tell the people that the Northern Star is a paid Government paper ! His chiej 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 . Now 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 tcish for their return , must keep copies for themselves . We

      see no reason for making this Mr . Tommey an exception to this necessary rule , even though the infliction of his sore displeasure be the penalty . If our "devil" chance to stumble on his papers while rummaging out the Balaam bo * 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 .

      BARLE 8 TON ( Norfolk . )—The Church Rate War . —On the refusal of Mr . Laidler , dissenting preacher , of this town , to pay a church-rate ol is . 4 ^ d ., the usual le ^ al proceedings were commenced against him ; and a table and seven chairs were Beized from his house , an dor a distress warrant , which were brought to the hammer by Mr . Hedgeman , on the 18 th inst ., aud 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 might be , they certaiuly were uot very loud , for things passed very quietly . At the conclusion , however , a few of the wannest dissenters appeared quite chop-fallen , and entirely lost their equanimity .

      High words were bandied between them and the auctioneer , and we imagined we heard threats 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 such words could ever escape the lips of our " moral force" WhigB and Tories 1 We will yield to none in our attachment to genuine liberty , including the redress of all " Dissenter ' s grievances ; " but , from our soul , we believe that the opponents of church-rateB are not animated by a spark of true patriotism . We will say nothing about thoir direcling their opposition against the trifling church-rate .

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

      trumpery , trimng church-rate ? How those hypocr ites have respected the conscientious scruples of Poor Law Repealers aud Chartists , let their eervile , " 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 thau they have 1 And who , instead of seeking the good of a class , or a sect , are wishing and striving for Universal Liberty , both body and mind . Self is the " ruling principle "—in this struggle they are totally regardless of the Heaven sprung rights of their fellow-creatures . Were the dreadful persecutions of the days of the whoremonger , Charles the Second , revived , and the dissenting body brought to a knowledge of that Truth which they profess , but , unhappily , know not , they would acknowledge that Heaven was just to them in these retributive judgments . —Correspondent .

      various trades of Lonuon , is unjubt and degrading , and that the comfort , economy , and influence of their numerous trades' societies would be greatly enhanced by the erection of a hail ia some central locality , where cheaper and better accommodation could be offered for their meetings , with a combination of intellectual and social improvement secured to tke members . "Mr . Boggis , in a temperate and well-received addrctis , seconded the resolution ; which was put from tho chair , atid carried unanimously . —^ r . Ri chard Moore came forward , amidst general applause , to move the second resolution : — "That this meeting is of opinion , that the plan and constitution of a proposed Loudon Journeymen ' s Trades' Hall , " as no « v

      submitted , and which is enrolled under the Acts oi Parliament , 10 Goo . 4 ta , c . 56 , aud 4 and 5 Will . 4 th , c . 40 ; is eminently designed to prouiote tho convenience and political and moral elevation of the labouring class , and earnestly recommends to the individual operatives oi' this great metropolis , the necessity and importance of their respective trades ' societies immediately taking share * 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 bo desirable an edifice . "Mr . Potts , a delegate from the basket-makers , in a calm , argumentative , aud impressive speech , seconded the resolution . —A jrontlemau , ( whose name we did

      not catch , ) s ' . a' . ed that he had only this evening taken up a shave in the undertaking . He most anxiously and ardently wished it success ; aud , with the permission of the Chairman , he bad a few questions to aik tho Secretary : —1 . Have any trades ' societies tak * n up shares , aud how many ? 2 . From what class of trades do the Committee fiud the greatest encouragement 1 3 . Havo they any account at a banker's ? 4 . What amount of money , belonging to the Hall fuud , 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 . Aro any profits expected to be realised , by leiting the Institution for other purposes than that of the trades I—Mr . Farren , the Secretary , replied , tr ades have

      that about Bcveu or ei ^ ht united actually taken shared aud paid the monoy , aud as many more have gireH the Committee favourable answers , 2 . Thty had derived most encouragemeut from those trades that must necessarily have the greatest hand in the erection of the buiding . 3 . They had an account with Messrs . Prugcott , Grote , and Co . in Threadneedle-street ; of whose liberal conduct to the Committee , Mr . F . spoke in the most eulogistic terms . 4 . The whole amount held by the three Treasurers on tbe Committee did not exceed a dozen pounds . 5 . This question would be best answered after the operation of the comtemplated Central Hall should have been tested ; and , lastly , there could bo 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 owa purposes . It should be borue 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 , receiviug one farthing from tho funds . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Farren couclttded by announcing that the Committee had decided on holding their next district meeting on Mouday next , at the Temperance Hotel , Adelaidesquare , New North-toad , Islington ; in order that every quarter of the 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 the Hall after worship , and the doors were closed . Shortly after , those of us who were inside heard a breaking of lamps outside , and a noise as of many persons attempting to force the doors . I went and

      pat in some pieces of strong timber against the doors to secure them . The mob outside got a cart which was in the lane , and ruaued with it against the doors several times . At length the doors were forced , aud we who were inside , only a few individuals , beiDg timid , ran into an adjoining room and shut the door . After some time I opened the door and saw about 60 or 100 persons in the Hall , and the prisoner was amongst them . I heard the mob breaking up the forms and sittings , and tearing down the gas fittings . —Mr . Herapath : Tb « magistrate ! should know

      that , on . ever 3 Sunday uignt , there was a riot in the streets . Yooturday eveuiug , as 1 was goh ; g by the liaah , 1 saw a crowd of at least five hundred persons vehemently hooting at aud endeavouring to assail some persen who was in a car , and who appeared to be obnoxious to them . I went immediately to the police-station , called out the reserve force , and had the street cleared . The mob , however , again got sight of the obnoxious individnal , and ran after him , and I was obliged to gire 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 and organised the 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 young men who before headed the taob . I have nothing to do with the dogmas of Mr . Owen or Mr . Briudley , but one thing ia clearly our duty , as magistrates , and that is to afford protection to the public , and I , for one , will do it . —Lovell : I am satisfied tho police eacoarage the mob . When the Inspector came down to the Hall , last night , he said it served ua right . —Mr . Superintendent Fisher : I said you first kick up a row , and then sent for us to put it down . There hare been more rows since the Hall of Science has been open than we ever had before . — Mr . Newman : The police have no business to express any opinion at ail , one way or the other . They are mere machines in the hands of tho magistrates .

      However wrong it may be to bold these meetings on aSanday , and 1 think it is wrong , still the police have nothing to do with that . Suppose any of the mob had heard the remark yon made , why they would imagine they were doing right , and thus i ( is that rows ensue . —Mr . Herapath : It is the duty of the police to afford protection to all her Majesty ' s subjects . —H . Hay ward was then sworn : I am not a Socialist ; I was at the Hall of Science last night , and I 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 : 1 did not see him break any furniture . — Edward Pooie sworn : I am not a Socialist . I saw the prisoner go into the Hall of Science ; he went to

      tho 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 ha was a Socialist . The individual replied "No ; " and then the prisoner said , *• Simkin is iu here ; we will have him out . "—Tbo prisoner said : I had been drinking at the Trout ti ' u half-past nine o'clock , and on coming away 1 met the mob and went to see what was going on , but I waited outside the doors aud took no pan . in the row . —The witness : He collared me aad said , ' Don't I do my duty like a man ! " The witness added , I am no Socialist , but I don ' c like to see the commonwealth destroyed . " —Mr . Shaw , a gentleman who reports for the Journal office , here called out , " I have heard privately that th » prisoner can

      produce witnesses to prove his innocenoe of the charge , if he is allowed time . " —Mr . BurgesB wished to know if Mr . Shavr was a witness In the case . —Mr . Herapath : In what character does Mr . Shaw attend here ? Is he an advocate ?—The prisoner then called a young man as a witness , who said he was drinking witn 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 things to pieces . —Poole said the 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 rioters , aud said he

      saw him take a large stone and break a lamp . —A person of the uaihe of Fisher then stepped forward , and said he could give evidence . Ou being asked if he was a Socialist , he said he was . Iu reply to questions from Mr , Herepath , he said , " I believe in a state of rewards and punishments ; I believe I am accouutable for my actions ; I believe in the contents of the book 1 hold in my band . " The witness was then sworn , and said- ^* The first noise had partly subsided in the premises , and I went to open thn 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

      prisroer take up a piece of quarter-staff and strike something with it , and then go to tke side door and strike it . That was the door leading to the room in which the females had taken 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 the morning , application was made for summonses against othor parties implicated in tbe above trans-&ctiou . Is was stated that tbe most disgraceful proceedings had taken place ; that the benches and desks had been broken up , the-fittinga pulled down , and the dome skylight smashed , and that £ 30 would not replace the damage done .

      SHEFFIEIiD . —Murder ik Sheffield . —On Sunoay morning , a dreadful murder was committed iu Sheffield , on the body of a man named Beck . The circumstances were of a rather peculiar nature , as it appears the murdered man wanted some improper intimacy with tbe murderer's wife . The imsbaud , 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 sound proceeded , and layiug hold of the intruder , proceeded to inflict

      upon him sundry heavy blows . They closed , and falling upon a card-tabie ia the room , smashed it to piecea . On the floor Raney was uppermost , and ho seized Beck by the throat with one band , and struck him with the other . A gulling noise in the throat of Beck alarmed Raney ; and he rushed from his own house to his sister ' s , where he expressed himself very fearful that he had killed a man ; but whom he did not know . On learning that Beck waa actuall y dead , he declared be would surrender himtiulf to justice ; and was leaving his sister for that purpose , when he met the constable seeking him . Au inquest was held ou Monday , before Mr . Badger , the covoaer , when much evidence to the effect above mated was adduced , and the inquiry eventually adjourned till Thursday .

      Ranet , the Sheffield m » rderer , passed through Leeds , this morning , ou his way to York Castle . He came by the mail-train from Sheffield : he was not iiaud-cuffed or otherwise ironed , and is stated , by the guard of the mail , to have been very cheerful . LEEDS .-Death of Miss Ann Care . —Want of space prevented our noticing last week the death of this extraordinary female , who for many years has been a very prominent character in the neighbourhood of Leeds , an the founder and principal preachor of the sect of Female Revivalists ; and which took place at her residence in Regent-street , on Monday , tho 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 frex .

      and which pre-eminentl y fitted her for the peculiar sphere of activity , in which she Was the means of accomplishing much good . The fervency of her religions enthusiasm was calculated to work powerfully upon uncultivated minds , putting a strong check upon tho developements of licentiousness in its grosser and more revolting forms , and existing the strong feelings of the animal man in the cause of virtue and religion . This led to many extravagances both of doctrine and demeanour , which , while they served equally as a source oi amusement to the 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 clashes of society . She was for 34 years a constant and laborious preacher ; first among the Primitive Methodists , and afterwards as the leader of the new Methodistio sect ,

      which , in conjunction with her friend and c « llea ^ ue Miss Williams , she founded in Loeds , ia 1822 . She had a chapel in Regent-street , and another in Brewery Field , both « f which are now left to the governance of Mieh Williams ; and , at her decease , to be vested in trustMs . 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 iu the promotion of religion , temperance , and education , of all which she was the ever-active and untiring advocate . The 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 , Woodhouse Lane ; and many , while standing near her grave , felt indeed that they had lost a mother and a friend .

      To Thk Editor Op The Nokthken Sta1. Glasgow, 19th January, 1841.

      TO THK EDITOR OP THE NOKTHKEN STA 1 . Glasgow , 19 th January , 1841 .

      Sir , —In your lait paper , January 16 th , a letter of Mr . O' Connor ' i ik given , in which the following pa * . ago occurs : "Every oae know * how I worked for the cotton spinners . I attended their second trial id January . They came horns tli * other day with an injunction from Brougham , Waklef , and others , to take no notice of int . They wei » within an hour ' s journey of my dungeon , and they turned their backs upon me . I forgive them . If tiu'y an « ter prosecuted Again , I will defend them again . " "~ '

      The first part of this paragraph is true to the letter , and I peed uot , aa an humble individual , confirm what I trust l » generally known and appreciated by every working man in the reahu , —that Mr . O'Cuunor spares neither exertion nor expence to forward their interests , and befriend them , when others forsake them in th « hour of peril . Bat it in the second sentence of tha paragraph to which I would direct your attention ; wherein it is stated that the liberated cotton spinners tad certain " injunctfona from Brougham , WakleT , and others , to take no notice of Mr . O'Connor . " This , Air , Editor , I denf in the most emphatic manner ; noi less in justice to the parties charged , than in vindication of my own ' chartcter , as I would be for ever sunk in my own estimation , could I have condescended to purchase my own liberation or the favoar of others om such degrading term * , 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 parsed bia " dungeon " without paying a visit , I regret to say it is true ; but not in the sen « e -stated in the paragraph . The truth is , our anxiety to meet our unhappy wive * and children , made us travel » t a railroad pace , in tho fulfilment of enfafementa we bad made with various towns in Yorkshire ; while , at the same time , we were utterly ignorant of out proximity to York dungeon , when we took Hie railway from Selby to Leeds . This is tbe true and only reason I can give , for circumstances over

      which we had little or no controul . It grieves me t * hear Mr . O'Connor »» y we turned our backs on him . I will just in friendship say , " O tliou of iittle faith . " Hoping , Mr . Editor , that you willgive insertion te th « above remarks , that Mr O'Connor * mind may be digabused of a wrong impression , and that the pubiit generally may know tliat the five persecuted and deeply-injured cotton spinners of Glasgow , ntver could have / sanctioned a contract that would have been alike discreditable to all concerned . Your insertion of th * above in Saturday's Star , -will oblige , Sir , yours , &c . dec ., RICHARD M'NBIL .

      Bank Tavern , 33 , TroBgate . [ I give this letter insertion , and I have bnt just on * word to say upon it The cotton Banners were several days in Hall , within three hours of York , before they came to Leeds . When thty were at Leeds , I myself aeked them if they would not go to York , the succeeding day , to which I received an evasive and hesitating reply . Mr . Hackett , one of the five cottott gpinnera , in the hearing of the others , told me in the Music Saloon , at Leetls , that tUe reason why they had , since their return-, taken no public notice of O'Coanor ,

      not even returning thanks to him , was , because they had been advised to that line of conduct by Mr . Wftkley " and their London friends . In none of tbe resolationa of gratitude for the exertions of friends , pussed at the numerous meetings held on their behalf , that have ever come ' under my notice , does the name ot 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 apeak for themselves . William Hill , Editor N . S . I
