      THE BRUMMA 9 EM SHALLOWS AND GEORGE WHITE . Bt out report of the Birmingham proceedings , in the Town Hall , it will be seen that the tyrants of that Whig-ridden spot have early availed themselves of the excellent advice of " Anglo Saxon , " the pet of the Sun , by arresting and actually drag-£ iag , by brute force , from a meeting of rate-payers , one of those very ratepayers , and even before he had moved any resolution or amendment . Now , we ask our , Trowbridge friends to find us a soft name for those murdering rascals , whom , for the present , w « shall thus mildly characterise . We regret that

      White was not able , as he would have been justified in knocking the four ruffians down , who dragged him from the platform . Now , then , we ( ay more emphatically than ever , Chartists take satisfaction ; allow not a meeting to pass over without moving the Rainsley amendment to any and every resolution proposed by the factionB . These are the men , the ruffians , whom Mr . Lovett would conciliate , forsooth ! The business shan't stop here . No , no . We know O'Cojf . voa too well to suppose that he will tamely submit to such an insult being offered to his representative at Birmingham .

      THE GOVERNMENTTHE DODGERAND

      THE MINORITY . The principle of the Irish Fortification Bill has been wholly demolished by a majority of 21 . Of the debate , howerer , we hare not sow time to say a word ; but judging charitably of the ignorance of the House and the press upon all Irish and moBt other matters , we can afford to « ive our cotemporaries a full week's odds , and smooth the question after their eight dajs' mangling in our next . For thepresent weneed only observe that the artfuldodger denies , by anticipation , the propriety of resiguing upon such a trumpery question . In faith , Chron . is right .

      The whole , the sole , the only duty of our protectors is to ensure the supplies , and bayonets to collect them . They will not play the part of the well-bred dog , and walk down stairs before they are kicked down . However , it appears that a dissolution is spoken of , and therefore let the balance of power be prepared with all constitutional means , as our struggles must be fierce * and resolute . In fact , it will be our trial day ; and let maudlin politicians censure us as they please for our mild and courteous

      designation of high offences , we tell those for whom we fight , that from the enemies' fears alone have they anything to expect . Therefore , let them diss » 1 tb , and we will publish our paper twice a week , when our motto shall be " have-at-em , " and our demand " give us our prisoners and our Charter . " In no single instance will the Northern Star attempt to conciliate the enemy , so that let those who feel inclined to censure , take warning . " Onward and we conquer , backward and we fall .

      THE EDITOR OF THE " NORTHERN STAR " TO HIS READERS .

      FaiE 5 D 3 , —The dastardly animosity of the sneakfug wretches who " lire on lies and fatten on detraction , " and who gloat over every opportunity of punishing as the most odious of all criminals by any proc ^ Btor through any medium , the advocates of your Tight 3 , have made it necessary for me to 6 ay a word or two to you on personal matters . The sanctity of domestic and private matters being disregarded by the " educated" and polished panderers to the vicious system of misrule , the affairs of my private household have been dragged before the public in such a- manner as to compel mo to claim a minute or two of your time for explanation . In the Leeds Mercury of last Saturday , appeara an

      infamous paragraph headed " Practical effects of Socialist Principles , " in which I am certainly depicted jn most unenviable colours . I cannot suppose that this matter was inserted in the Leeds Mercury with the knowledge or consent of its Editors ; 1 know enough of newspaper business to be aware that it might creep im clandestinely , and I will believe , until compelled to think otherwise , that it was so in this instance . However , their paper of to-day will convince me . A copy of the following letter , to which I mujt request the attention of my readers , has , I believe , been sent to the Leeds Mercury for insertion , and I can have no doubt of its finding , not merely insertion , but Editorial notice , as I am sure any such matter has always done with me , and always shall while I have the columns of a newspaper at command . THE U BEYEREND" MR . HILL AND HIS "SWEDENBORGIAN SOCIALIST CHAPEL . " to thb editobs op the leeds mebcuet . Gentlekex , As historians and moralists , the position of influential journalists , in the present state of society , is an important and responsible one ; the tone of the public mind being in a graat measure taken from their statements of and comments upon alleged matters of fact . It is , therefore , very necessary for the public good and safety that such persons should be men of nmnd mind and discriminating judgment , Hot liable to be imposed upon by exparte statements , or false colourings ; it is still more necessary that they should be men ot high principle ,

      and strict moral integrity , who will not , under any circumstances , sacrifice truth to personal pique , or political animosity . It is clearly a contravention of all the principles of right that currency should be given to imputations upon personal character , unless absolutely necessary for the public good : even then , no journalist acts justly or honestly who publishes such imputations , otherwise than when sustained by such evidence as may be reasonably trusted . I am perfectly aware , that in the exposed situation which a journalist does occupy , he is liable to be often deceived by the false information which from bad and malicious persons may be sent to him ; and that he may thus sometimes inflict injury

      unwittingly . In every such case a good man feels pleasure iu affording all the reparation in his power . Hence , I feel the greater confidence that in asking you as religious and good men for the insertion of tnia letter 1 shall , in fact , be conferring upon you a very pleasurable feeling . / In your last publication , a statement appears which 1 must suppose to have originated in false information conveyed to you ; it is calculated very seriously to injure the private character , the public reputation , aud the usefulness and respectability , not of one only , but of many individuals ; and I , therefore , as one who is affected by it , ask of you the justice to allow me to place facts before tb \; public in reply to if .

      The statement to which I allude ia headed " Practical epfi : cts of Socialist Principles , " and pur-DortB to be a record of an application to the Leeds Workhouse Board , and of other matters indirectly connected therewith . It states , among other things , that Mr . Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , is " the Minister of a Swedenborgian Socialist Chapel , at Hull , " that hia wife was "some months since deserted by him , " and that he * ' vindicated his conduct to his congregation at Hull on the principles of Robert Owen ? ' and it is also said that " the Swedenborgian congregation at Hull have nearly all deserted Hill , and their place is now supplied by Socialists and Chartists . " Now , Sirs , aa a member and an office-bearer of the church . worsh ' iDDiiiEr nnder the

      pastoral care of the Reverend William Hill , I have means of knowing that every one of these assertions is entirely false . The church over which Mr . Hill presides as minister—and of all whese honest and consistent members I believe him to enjoy the fullest confidence and the most perfect esteem—is not a" Swedenborgian-Socialist" church . We have no connection , nor have we ever had any oonnection , with the Socialists at all . And as the prejudices of society have been made to run so strongly that the bare word M Socialist , " applied to any person or persons , is accounted opprobrious , I cannot but fear that the application of this term to the members of . Mr . Hill ' s church is a malicious as well as a vilful ( dander .

      I will not follow the heartless example of the person whom you have permitted to dratr , through your columns , the domestic afflictions of Mr . Hill before the public gaze , gratuitously ; but I must make some reference to them in order to be understood . Mr . Hill was unhappily circumstanced ; and , finding himself forced into a position , of which it seemed to him right that he should give some explanation , he acted in that manly and straightforward manner which has characterized all his dealings amongBt us ever since we have known him . Without waiting to be called to an account by others , he summoned , by special circular , the members of the church together , and " vindicated his conduct , " but not" on the principles of Robert Owen , " as your informant maliciously and falsely asserts . Mr . Hill made no allusion or reference to- " the principles of Robert Owen" at all . As a Christian minister he addressed

      his own people on Christian and scriptural principles ; and he appealed not to " the principles of Robert Owen , " but to the doctrines of the ohuroh and the truths of Revelation . Mr . Hill ' s " vindication" was heard by the meeting ; Mrs . Hill was present , and her statements were heard also . Many of her statements were contradicted instantly by respectable members of the church then present . Other statements she avowed herself capable of proving , if time should be allowed her for the production of evidence . Time was allowed . With Mr . Hill ' s full concurrence , the meeting was adjourned that she might have time . The adjourned meeting was holden , and Mrs . Hill , who had had written notice of it specially sent to her , failed to appear or

      to adduce any additional evidence , or to furnish any satisfactory reason why she did not do bo . Mr . Hili , on the contrary , produced letters from various persons , besides oral testimony , disproving effectually various atrocioms charges made against him by Mrs . Hill , at the former meeting , and which , having had no notice of them , he was then unprepared to meet , otherwise than by counter assertion . With Mr . Hill's full concuarence , and at his suggestion , the tneeeting was agaia adjourned for a week , and Mrs . Hill was written to by a gentleman who had warmly interested himself on her behalf , informing her of the adjournment , aud requiring her , in th ^ iame of the Church , to substantiate her statement by the production of the evidence , which at the first

      meeting she had declared herself to be in possession of . The adjourned meeting was again holden , and Mrs . Hill again failed either to appear—to authorise any other person to adduce the alleged evidence on her behalf—or to assign any satisfactory reason why she did not do so . The discussion had now extended over the full space of four weeks , and of course it had occupied , during the intervals of the meetings , a large share of the attention of the members , all of whom were deeply interested in it ; and amongst whom , therefore , the whole subject , in all its bearings , was fully canvassed . The Sunday afternoon following , April 18 : h inst ., was the regular meeting of the Church for discipline : at that meeting , therefore , the Bubject was resumed , and the following resolutions were adopted by the Church : —

      " That taking into its most serious consideration the events which have recently transpired , and the statements made by Mrs . Hill , impugning the moral character of our beloved and esteemed minister , the Rev . William Hill , and also Impugning the moral character of several members of this church , which statements Mrs . Hill declared herself in a condition to prove by the production of certain letters , which she stated were in her possession , bat incapable of being produced , unless sufficient time for their production was granted , they being then at Leeds ; and taking also into consideration that , In compliance with this apparently reasonable demand , the meeting at which these statements were made was adjourned for a fortnight , in order to rive time for the forthcoming of the said

      letters , and which adjournment was with the perfect and unsolicited sanction and concurrence of our esteemed pastor ; and further , taking into consideration the fact that at the said adjourned meeting of the church , Mrs . Hill not only failed to appear , but in a letter addressed to Mrs . Aclam , stated reasons for her non-appearance , which , upon investigation , turned out to be utterly groundless , failing also to send the alleged letters to lay before the Church , which , had any such letters been in her possession , she clearly had the same means of sending as of communicating with Mrs . Aclam ; and ooD&idering , finally , that the Church gave imperative orders to Mrs . Hill , through Mr . Firth , her friend and advocate , to proves the said letters , sending them to the said Mr . Firth by return of post , with

      which order of the Church Mr . Firth promptly complied , but which has received no manner of notice from the said Mrs Hill , except in a private letter to Mr . Firth , in which a reason fer the non-production of the letters is assigned , which it appears to this meeting is Htterly destitute of truth , and only prepared as an evasion to suit the purposes of the moment , and to effect , if possible , a breacli between our respected minister and the flock committed to his charge ; this Church resolves that it is its most deliberate and decided conviction that the several charges and allegations made by the said Mrs . Hill against the said Rev . William Hill , and various members of the Church .

      are entirely fa ' se , and without the leaBt foundation . And while the Church thus solemnly records its judgment before the Lord and before men , it also desires te express to the said Rev . William Hill , its venerated minister , its nndiminished confidence , affection , and esteem ; expressing at the same time its deep sympathy with him as a man , a Christian , and a minister , under these most distressing circumstances , and tendering to him iu warmest thanks for the assiduity , care , and pastoral diligence with which , at a most serious sacrifice of time , health , and pecuniary means , he has watched over its interests , and has endeavoured to promote and secure its prosperity , for a period of more than four years . "

      " That Mrs . Hannah Hill , now a member of this church , has conducted herself , during several months past , in a manner utterly at variance with the truth and sincerity of the Christian character ; and that she is especially guilty of a breach of moral ord * r in the following particulars : — First , in that sbo has made t'hargts against the moral character of the esteemed pastor of this Church , which she has in every instance failed to prove , although ample time and opportunity have been afforded her to do so ; Second , in that she has used her utmost endeavours to wound the peace , stab the reputatatioo , and destroy the character of several members of the church ; against any and all of whom she has made , directly or indirectly , the most serious charges of moral delinquency , failing at the same time to adduce a single shadow of evidence against them ; and third , in that she has , by thus doingall in her power

      to blast the reputation of the minister and members , songht the overthrow of the peace , credit , and prosperity of the church , and bees guilty of lying , slandering , and malignant persecution to a most alarming extent Underthese circumstances the Churchdeemsitan imperative duty to demand from the said Hannah Hill , a full and ample recantation in writing , of all the infamous and unfounded allegations rtceatly made by her , in reference to the above-named persons and things ; the form of snch recantation , with an apology to the parties aggrieved , to be draws up by the Rev . William Hill and signed by the said Hannah Hill , on or btfore the 28 th day of this presont month of April , ia the presence of the said Rev . William Hill and three attesting witnesses ; the document when signed , to be placed in the hands of the Church ou the 2 nd day of May now next ensuing , to be printed or otherwise disposed of as the society shall determine . "

      An amendment was moved on these resolutions , to the effect that the further consideration of the subject be adjourned for another fortnight , to give Mrs . Hill more time ; but , so satisfied were the church that ample time had been given , that on the question being put , only one person , besides the mover and seconder , voted / or the amendment , and that one was one of the persons against whom Mrs . Hill ' s slanderous averments had been directed . These statements have probably prepared you to expect a contradiction to the assertion of your informant about the " congregation having nearly all

      deserted Hill . ' * ^ Gentlemen , my official situation ih the church enables me to know that this is false . This painful business has been thoroughly canvassed among the members , but not one single name has been withdrawn from the church roll , and , so far as I know , not one single person has been absented from the congregation through it ; on the contrary , many members now attend the mce ' . ingB of the church who did not attend them previously , and there have been placed on the nomination book of the church , { during and since the conclusion of this unhappy investigation , ) no fewer than twenty-two candidates lor admission to its fellowship and

      cotumumon . These facts I submit to you , and to the pablic , as an ample replj to the cliar ^ ea made through your columns , both agaiu&t lour esteemed though calum-

      niated minister aud the church committed to his charge ; these facts I submit to your consideration as gentlemen , as Christians , aud aa public instructors who aije bound to judge fairly what comes under their notice—to judge sot only fairly bat charitably in all personal matters where they have only an opportunity of hearing the statements of one party ; the 6 e facts I hope you will allow not only to exonerate the church ftoja the charge of * Socialism , " but also to evince the confidence whioh its members still repose in the man who has watched over their spiritual interests for more than four years—who has done so not only without gain , but at a most

      serious sacrifice o ) health , and time , and money—and under whose ministerial care the numbers of the church have been more than trebled , exclusive of those now on the proposition roll . In my own name , then , and in that of the church of which lam a member and office bearer , I claim from you as honest and conscientious man the insertion in your next paper of this statement of facts , as a correction of the false and scandalous imputations of yonrlast , to which it makes reference ; and I further claim as an act of justice , the name of the person who furnished the information contained in that scandalous paragraph .

      Trusting that your own sense of honour and honesty will enforce my demand , I am , Gentlemen , Yours , &o ., James Bolingbrokb , Senior Deacon of the Christian Church , wor-Bhipp . ng under the pastoral care of the Rev . William Hill , at Hull . No . 30 , Chariot-street , Hull , April 28 th , 1841 . Supposing , now , that my readers hare read Mr . B } lingbroke ' 8 letter , I have only to add thereto that into the unhappy differences betwixt me and my wife , I presume they will not expect me to go more particularly here . I wish not to triumph over the defenceless , nor to insult the fallen . I shall ,

      therefore , forbear to go into particulars , unks 3 dragged into them . Suffice it that I have not without good reason , after seventeen years * endurance , placed myself in a position bo painful as that whioh 1 now occupy . In explanation of the fact of my wife seeking relief % i the Workhouse Board , bo malignantly paraded by the Mercury , I give the following letter , sent in accordance with its date to the proper officer : — Ntrihern Star Office , Leeds , Saturday morning , March 27 , 1841 .

      Sir , —I regret exceedingly to be compelled to trouble you upon a most unpleasant subject—unpleasant at all events to me . —I have the misfortune to have a wife , whose condnct has been , for some time , such as to preclude the possibility of my living with her . In consequent of whioh I have , for the last six or seven weeks , absented nisyelf from her ; placing my two children at boarding school , with Mr . and Mrs . Rhodes , of Armley , where they now are ; leaving her quietly ia possession of a good house—No . 25 , Templar ' s-street , well and handsomely furnished , and supplying her regularly for her own support with sums ef money varying from ten to twenty shillings weekly . Latterly , however , she has been bo outrageous that I thought it necessary to notify to her brother in writing , on the 16 th

      Inst , that in case of her continuing to annoy and molest me in the way she had systematically done , till then , I should be reluctantly compelled to withhold further supplies of money which , was only wed for ray annoyance and Injury ; and leave her to seek her remedy by application to yon . Her conduct since then has apparently left me no alternative , but to abide by the terms of that notice , However , I have this morning again applied to her brother vffer ' iDg to enter into mutual articles of maintenance and peace / ulnm . It this be declined , it is probable that she will apply to you ; and if she do , I authorise you to relieve her to any amount not more than seven shillings weekly , and I will reimburse you , and secure it in any way which to you may be most convenient .

      I am not desirous to have the matter made more disagreeably public than can be avoided . Sincerely regretting that I should be obliged thus to trouble you . I am , Hir , yours , Ac . WH . HILL . To Mr . Mason , Believing Officer , Leeds . P . S . If I have not addressed the proper officer , yon will probably be so obliging as to hand this to the proper party . My address—5 , Market-street , Leeds . The result was that she did apply at the Board , as stated by the Mercury , and that on their informing me thereof , I immediately arranged with them to pay ten shillings weekly to her brother , besides supporting my children , who remain at school .

      I presumo that I have now said at least enough to convince you that the atrocious paragraph whioh has rendered this explanation necessary ought never to hava been published . It is a- violation of every principle of decency supposing its statements to hare been true , but when thus fraught with falsehood , and involving not my reputation ouly , but that of many other parties , it is infamous , and might well justify an appeal to the protection of the law—-which , bad aa it is , does furnish a remedy for outrages like these , when it can be found to be administered honestly . This resource I shall take to wry reluctantly ; but if , whioh I cannot suppose ,

      the Messrs . Baines refuse to insert Mr . Bolingbroke ' s letter , I shall certainly have recourse to it . One dirty villain has eked out his version of this unhappy affair with a much larger share of malignant invention than even the Mercury . Him , as " fit food for sharks" alone , I have handed over to my attorney who will deal with him as hia tender mercy may dictate . Like proceedings I shall institute against the proprietor and publisher of every paper into which the libellous paragraphs may be copied , or which may insert similar ones after this date ; or which having copied it previously to this date refuses now to insert the contradiction and explanation .

      Doubtless , the rascally tools of faction think this fino pie ; but I can tell them that if they dip their fingers too deeply into it , they will find it rather high-seasoned . I ask no favourable construction of my conduct from any ono . I ask only for myself as for tho people , justice ; and , asking not more , I hope that I have uo disposition in any capacity , public or private , to offer less , or to taka less . Let me , then , be as rightly understood by my political friends and | pllowers as by my religious ones . I have submitted my whole condnct to the

      investigation and censure of my Church , who have had the best opportunities of knowing and estimating mo : their sentence is seen in the resolutions contained in Mr . Bolingbroke ' s letter , aud they have the means and opportunity of personally knowing the truth of the whole matter , much more accurately than any erparte or written statements from me could give it . I offer their satisfactory exculpation as the ground of my demand that this private and family affair of mine shall not bo made a pretext on which to iojaio O'Connor and the Star . Claiming for myself , what I am ready to accord to all others , the full measure of right , I am an unalterable advocate of Universal Suffrage , And the Poople ' a ready servant , WILLIAM HILL .

      The Funeral Of James Sharrock, A V Endor Of The Northern Star. To The Editor Of The Northern Stab.

      THE FUNERAL OF JAMES SHARROCK , A V ENDOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB .

      Sm , —Allow me , through the medium of your paper , to pay ft sincere tribute of respect to the memory of James Sharrock , of Wigan , one of the vendors of the Northern Star , who departed this life deeply and deservedly lamented by a large circle of friends and acquaintances , on the night of the 19 th instant , after lingering for some years with declining health . As a firm and consistent Republican , be stood one of the foremost of the present age . He was also a man of extensive information , bad a superior knowledge ot the aristocracy , and the abuses under which the

      industrious classes of the three unhappy kingdoms have long suffered / and of the direful effects of servile oppression and misrule . His mind was patriotic , generous , and humane ; and he has undergone much hardship in aiding and assisting the lovers of republicanism to expose tko enore of a corrupt system of administration , and in circulating useful publications , calculated to free the working classes generally from that thraldom and miserable state of existence which he had long been the victim of . He waa a kind father , an inoffensive and obliging neighbour , and a good husband ; and , perhaps , a sounder and more zealous politician and advocate of the rights of man'never breathed the vital air .

      Such , Mr . Editor , was the individual of whom write . If , therefore , pure merit ever deserved a place in your valuable journal—if the tear of heartfelt sorrow aud sincere esteem ever fell from the eye of gratitude for a worthy character , the deceased , James Sharrock , of this borough , deserved that tear ; and as he has been an honest vendor of the Northern Star for years , through g « od and evil report , it will only be an act of justice and humanity in you to give this humble tribute to his memory a place in this week's paper . His funeral was numerously attended , on Sunday , by the industrious classes , the most useful and moat respectable portion of the human race ; and a general feeling of sorrow and respect was manifested while the venerable remains slowly moved to the spot where he is interred , in St . John ' s Chapel Yard , in Wigan .

      There let him rest , in undisturbed repose , While o ' er his grave the soft bretBe gently blows ; Whilst his kind spirit , free from toil and pain , With seraphs dwells , aud we our rights maintain . J . B XH Hill Cottage , near Wigan Lane , Wit&n , April 26 , 1841 .

The Ministry . —Ever i ? ince the defeat of the Ministry on Monday evening upon Lord Howick ' a amendment , the members of the Administration have held frequent meetings . Yesterday , a Council was held , at which all the Cabinet Ministers attended , and which lasted lor three hours . To-day , also , a Council was held ; and the result of the Nottingham election , coupled with the defeat on Monday night , will , it is thought , induce the Ministers to get through the " Budget" a * swiftly as possible , and then dissolve the Parliament The present week has been dull ia the metropolis , so far as regards meetings on any particular subject of public importance .

      MITCHELL'S NARRATIVE . TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . My Dear Sib , —I write at the Governor ' s request to desire that no more of Mitchell ' s narrative shall be published fox the present , as its publication may frustrate the ends of justice . I beg also to correct a mfatake which appeared in tho Leeds Mercury of last week , and which , being an unusual occurrence with that paper , did not a little surprise me . For tho Mercury ' s satisfaction I beg to inform hit readers , that the confession was made to the magis trates ; that the facts were told by Mitchell to his companions while in the condemned cell , and when Mitchell

      bad no hope of any commutation of punishment ; thai he , Mitchell , subsequently to his pardon , being in the yard with Livesey , one of his companions in the condemned cell , requested Litesey to take down his narrative iu writing xeilh a vim * to its publication , as the only reparation her could make to society for his past life , and with the hope that hi « confession wsald break np the gangs to which he belonged . Livesey did write ii down and read it over to Mitchell , who also read ii himself , and signed his name to it . Livesey then threw it over to my yard , and I gave it Mr . Hobson at Livesey and Mitchell ' s request ; and now , what says Mr . Baines to his friends »

      MitchelPs father came to York , when he saw it announced that bis son had confessed to being concerned in a thousand robberies , and Mitchell on being : questioned made some excuse ; I heard that he denied it ; and when the Governor next visited my cell , I requeeted of aim to put the question , to Mitchell , which he did , and Mitchell repeated the confetsion , and said that he did say and still said that he was at a thousand robberies and more . New , Sir , be said so in my presence ; and when he said so , Livesey said , " nay , John , not a thousand , lad , thafa ten hundred ! " «• Well , I know , " replied Mitcneli , and I teat at more , since I have been always at it *

      And now , Sir , I repeat thst Mitchell ' s life has been the most extraordinary race of profligacy ever yet published to the world , and I desire that all the rest shall be suppressed until justice shall have taken ita course . The many names contained in the sequel of the narrative , must not just now be published . Yours , faithfully , F . O'CORMOB . York Castle , 28 th 12 th month . P . S .
