PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR . —ASSERTION { OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Last week large placards announced a public meeting , to be held at the Town Hall , at twelve o'clock on Tuesday last , to consider the propriety ot making a public subscription for the relief of the poor of the town , the meeting beiog called by . the Cutlers' Company , the Town Trustees , and Church burgesses . The placards also intimated that in anticipation of the said subscription , one thousand shilling loaves would be given to all poor women above forty years of age , applying for the Fame . Tuesday arrived , and instead of one thousand , some three or four thousand applicants thronged the neighbourhood of the Cutlers' Hall , seeking the " big loaves . " Of course , two-thirds at least of the starving unfortunates returned to their homes unblessed by the miserable fraction of so-called charity doled out to their more fortunate neighbours .
Some time after twelve o'clock , the public were admitted into the Hall . On the platform were the Master Cutler , Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., Mr . Montgomery , the poet * the Rev . Thomas Sutton , Vicar of Sheffield , the Rev . Thomas Best , the Rev . Gibson , the Rev . Johii M'Lean . Senior , Master of the Wesleyan College ;—Fisher , Esq ., & . C ., &c , &o . On the motion of T . A . Ward , Esq ., the Mp ter Cutler was called to the chair . The Chairman read the placard calling the ny ^ ting ; and , after a few common-place observations , made way for
Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., who moved the first resolution , which was in eubsvance to the effect —That , instead of the usual rejoicings , a public subscription be entered into for the relief of the poor of the town , upon this , the occasion of the christening of the infant prince . In support of his resolution , Mr . Ward delivered a brief address , feeling and sensible , deploring the distress existing in the town , and dwelling upon tho propriety of the course recommended . Far better was it that the rich should give up some of their supeiUnities for the benefit of their poorer brethreu , than that money should be wasted in useless and idle follies . Mr . Ward , who is a gentleman warmly respected by the working classes , was listened to with silence and attention throughout his address . The Rev . Thomas Best seconded the resolution . The resolution was carried unanimously .
The Rev . Thomas Sutton moved the second resolution , which set forth that a subscription be now entered into , and that certain parties named in the resolution be appointed to receive the same . The Rev . . Gentleman read some lengthy extracts from Hume , the historian , commendatory of the character of Edward the Sixth . His prayer was that the infant Prince might be as great a blessing to this country as his predecessor Edward the Sixth . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Montgomery seconded the resolution . This was a day the Lord had made . His prayer was that the infant Prince might become the most illustrious ofpaonarchs . ( Laughter ) The speaker went on to fiay that he trusted the character of the young Prince would in future years be that given by the psalmist— " He shall judge the poor ot the people , ne shall save the children of the needy , and shall break in pieces the oppressor . " ( Loud cheers from the people . ) The resolution was carried unanimously .
The Rev . J . M'Lean moved the 8 rd resolution , which simply named the committee . Ho gave £ 3 as the contribution of his scholars , and favoured the meeting with a short address , showing his exuberant loyalty . The resolution was seconded and about being put , when Mr . Barker who spoke from the gallery , said he had a few remarks to offer before the resolution was put . ( Cheers . ) If there was any mode more unexceptionable than another , by which to celebrate the birth of a prince , he considered the mode adopted to-day was that one : still he must question the
propriety of at all celebrating such event in the present state of the country , when thousands of tb « toiling people of this land are absolutely famishing and perishing of hunger—such a time he considered no time to rejifce at . the birth of a new burden . ( Great uproar from tbe parsons and loud cheerd from the people . ) A scene of confusion now en&ued , several of the black-coats , " rising to order . " Mr . Barker , however , waa not to be put down and endeavoured to coutiuue his address—the parsons stamped and shouted , the people by turns groaneo the parsons and cheered Mr . Barker .
In the the midst of the confusion , M'Lean exclaimed , " We have not come here to hear the principles of— " the termination of the sentence was lost amidst the fearful volley of groans that greeted his interference . The Btorm haviDg lulled for a aioment . The Rev . T . Best with great pomposity , asked Mr . Barker if he thought they would sit . there to hear the Government and state insulted f ( Groans . ) Mr . Bahkeb said he spoke not of the state or the Government , what he was about to say , was , that in the present deplorable state of-the country to talk of celebrating the birth of another royal cormorant , appeared to him to be the climax of absurdity . This was followed by great confusion , in the midst of
which the Master Cutler , i he parsons , and the greater part of the " respectables" made a hasty retreat , followed by a tremendous storm of groans and hisses . Cries of " a chairman" now resounded through the hall , and Mr . Otley was called to the chair , which he took amidst the cheers of the meeting . Mr . Otley said when he entered the hall that day ho had no thought he would be called upon to fill the chair , so unceremoniously vacated by the Master Cutler ; the proceedings of this meeting showed that the day of mummery was gone by in this country ; what a mocker / it was for the parties who called this meeting to profess charity , and show it by giving the people a-shilling ' s worth back of the plunder they took from them . ( Cheers . ) The Vicar had dwelt largely upon the virtues of Edward the 6 th , he forgot to narrate the hideous vices of those monsters of iniquity , Henry the 8 th , and George the 4 th .
After some other remarks , Mr . Otley made way for Mr . Barker , who resumed ; he regretted the flight of the parsons and gentlemen , because he wished to have told them a few truths they are not in tho habit of hearing . What was the use , be would ask , or what service to the state , was a Queen Victoria , a Prince Albert , or their two infants 1 ( Cheers . ) True the Prince had laid the first stone of the Royal Exchange a few days back , the first useful thing he had done in his life , though even the usefulness of that might be questioned . Mr . Barker went on to quote , from the old history of England , some of the doings of our monarchs and aristocrats in by-gone days ; coming to our own times , Mr . B . showed up the profligacy of the fourth George , and concluded with an eloquent defence of the principles of democracy . Mr . Bark r concluded by moving the adoption of the following resolution : —
" That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the best way to honour the Prince is by relieving the wants of the people , yet they will not see prinoiple sacrificed under any pretence of charity , nor sanction the acts of her Majesty or her Ministers until the wrongs of the people are redressed , and the franchise extended to the whole of the male adult population . " Mr . Gill , in a few remarks , seconded the resolution . Mr . Harnky who was loudly cheered on coming forward , said , he too regretted the retreat of the black-coated loyalitte—what a farce was it to be giving a shilling loaf to a thousand of the poor and
destitute , while these Bame poor bad been robbed of three-fourths of the wealth produced by them every year of their existence that they had laboured ; out of every pound produced by the working man , it had been shewn that he was plundered of 15 s . 6 d . ; what hypocrisy then was it to come before the people and making a parade of their benevolence give to some of the most destitute a paltry Is . in the shape of a loaf . He would just show them how many shilling loaves were swallowed per day by a few of the royal and other cormorants of the state : —Our most gracious Quean appropriated to her own use per day £ 164 7 s lOd ; that is , she swallowed every day nearly three thousand * two hundred , and eighty-eight

shilling loaves . per day ; prince Albert swallowed two thousand and eighty-two shilling loaves per day ; the King of Hanover swallowed one thousand , one hundred and fifty shilling loaves per day ; the King of Belgium , two thousand , one hundred and forty shilling loaves per day ; the Duch bs of Kent , one thousand , seven hundred and fif tyrthree shilling loareB ; the head of the Christiaii ; Church-, his Grace , the Archbishop of Canterbury , swallowed one thousand and fifty shilling loaves per day ; while so capaeious was the stomach of her Majecty , Queen Adelaide , that she swallowed five thousand , four hundred , and eighty shilling loaves per day . ( Roars of laughter . ) But the
prosent accursed system was fast coming to a close . ( Cheers . ) One word of warning he would whisper in the ears of the loyalists V the peoplti were bent upon having their rights—the people were no longer to be galled by the pretended charity of those plunderers—it was not charity they wanted , it waa justice ; and that justice they were determined to obtain ; they had set their hands to the plough , and would not turn back ; no ; they Wr re resolved , des- ^ pite Whig humbug , and Tory cajolery , to make the Charter the law of the land ; ( Great cheering ) Whatever difference might exiit among themselves ^ happy was he to see that when the common enemy appeared , they met them- to a man . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) ; ,
The resolution was then put , and unanimously carried . ' - ¦ ¦ . . ' . " y . - .- : . ¦ ¦ ... , ' - : ; . - ¦ - ' . ¦ ' \ ¦ Thanks \ having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved .

BRIGHTON . —The work goes on bravely ; accounts of the most pleasing nature are daily ! being received . Chichester has at length come out , and most manfully . A meeting was recently called to consider the best way of celebrating the christening of the Prince of Wales . Things went On in true aristocratic Btyle until Mr . Gray , clothier , made his appearance ; he proposed an amendment to the resolution of the aristocrats , to the effect that a petition should be sent to the House of Commons , praying thorn "to take into consideration the state of the
country , and to pass a law for enfranchising the whole people of the United Kingdom . " Mr . Gray was supported by a numerous body of working men , and , after a great deal of manoeuvring , the mayor , finding that at least six to one of the meeting were in favour of Mr . Gray ' s amendment , to his great discredit and disgrace , advised by a Mr . Freeland , steward to the puke of Richmond , dissolved the meeting . The working men gave three hearty cheers for Mr . Gray , which were repeated again for the Charter , and quietly dispersed to their homes .

HUDDERSFIEIiD—Daring Robbery . — L ^ t week a small butcher ' s shop , adjoining the Dog Inn , Kirk « ate , was forcibly : opened , and pne half of a bheep taken therefrom . Several suspioious characters Were seen lurking about the place early in tho evening ; yet , no one thought they were intending to commit anoutrage in so public a thoroughfare ; however , they broke into the ^ above shop at the early hour of nine o ' clock , and got clear off with their booty . The alarm was given nearly on the instant ; the watch and police were immediately on the look
out ; shortly after , information was received that some mutton was lying under a wall , near to the canal , inclining to Folly Hall . The police repaired to the spot and secreted themselves ; shortly after three men approached , one took the mutton , and waa soon secured , the other two escaped for the night , but being known were captured next morning , and on the premises were found a quantity of picklocks , that are supposed to have been lately atelea from a locksmith ; also a pistol and a quantity of lucifer matches . They were brought before the magietrates on Saturday , and committed to Wakefield for trial .
BRlGHTON .-r . WH 0 Stopped the Clock ?—The goi ) d people of Brighton have recently been amused by an afiair of no very creditable character to their reverend Vicar and his tool 8 , the charchwardens . Some three months since , a vestry meeting of the inhabitants was held to pass the account ? of the churchwardens ; but the vestry , finding that ihe accounts were kept in a most slovenly manner- ^ - finding that but of rates collected for the repairs of the church a Bum of £ 20 was charged for grog and , finding , on further investigating the accounts that some seven or eight hundred pounds were unaccounted for , the meeting adopted without one dissentient voice strong arid deteinined resolutions not to pass tho accounts . Matters did not end here .
Tte churchwardens , backed by the Vicar j called another vestry meeting , to pass the accounts , and tD make another church rate . The parish were up in arms . Polling of the rate-payers was carried on for three days tor and against passing the accounts , and for and against making i » nyrjurther rate . A majority was declared against passing the accounts and against ; making any further rate to the number of upwards of 300 . Thus things stood . But it was not over . They were determined to be revenged onthe parish , and to do that they hit upon the scheme of stopping the parish clock of St . Petera . Soon were they met by cries both far andnear of " Who stopped the clock ! " This cry has gone through the parish for these two months past , and last week it was brought to an issuer by this Very reverend lowly follower of Jeeus ; this charitable Vicar ,
haying been brought before a Court of Magistrates for horsewhipping a , child seven years of age . It , appears that as the Reverend Vicar was passing on horseback , the cry was raised by some one in the street . "Who stopped the clock ? " This had such an effect upon the Reverend Gentleman , that he knew not whither to go—the cry was continued by many , The child , child-like , took up the cry , and mimicked out , " Who stopped the clock 1 "yand iari off home . The Vicar pursues this child home , dismouuts from his horse , bursts open the door of a room in which the little boy had fastened himself , and then in the presence of the child ' s mother , who was completely f ' r'ghtenied , with his riding whip , cut the po 6 r little fellow over face aiid eyes , by repeated blowa . Not content , he took the child to the door to show tho the crowd . But herein he seems to have
mado a mistake , for if he had not speedily mounted his horse , the people who had congregated together would have inflicted summary puninhmeni upon him , which he deserved . When the boy ' s fath-r came home he took him to the vicarage , but was denied admittance ; he then appealed to the magistrates , who grauted a summons , after a great dealuf reluctance , against the Rev . Gentleman , which came on for hearing on Thursday , Jau . 20 ch , at the Town Hall , Brighton ; and after examination and cross-examihatian , with the assistance of two of the big wig tribe to boot , the very Roverend Gentleman was convicted , and fined U ) i . and costs . Such is the end of the clock tale , but not the end of the vicar ; for , on Sunday
afternoon , after preaching at St . Peter'e , in passing homewards through Regent-street , he was unfortunately , recognised ^ a crowd collected—the cry was again raised , " Who stopped the clock ? ' This time he had to fly , followed by the crowd , shouting their war cry , "Who stopped the clock ?" mud flying in all directions , the bt ^ am was up , when luckily for the vicar , a policeman appeared , the crowd dispersed ; the 'blue bottta' vanished : again they came up with the Rev . Gentleman , and again they ; raised their cry , " Who stopped the clock ?" The vicar made a bolt through the New Road , and up North street to the vicarage , covered with mud as well as the execrations and detestations of his
flock . The vicar and churchwardens , considering the ill-dozen they have got into , hoping , doubtless , to allay a little of the feeling that exia ' ts ^ to calm a little the disturbed waters of Brighton ; and a regular " nor-wester" blew on Monday aight , in celebration of the ^^ christening of the ypui / g Prince , decided to " set the clock agoing" and oni Tuesday morning the people of Brighton were gratified again to hear the sound of that clock , on which so much of their money had been expended . A lesson , we trust , has been taught to Vicars and ignorant
conceited Churchwaraen , that there are bound * to which they may play with the feelings of neighbours friends—that the pit they dig for othera they may fall into themselves . Tho parish has triumphed over the toadies of an overbearing priest ; and we urge on the rate-payers to be prepared fora great moral contest at easier next , when they may , if ehey choose , appoint officers of their parisa who will treat the opinions of the rate-payers with deference and respect , and prove that they are servants and not masters of the parish .

Star Office , Friday Morning . We have just received the following from Mr . O'Connor , for our second edition : — - ' I had this moment sat down in the Golden Cross , Charing cross , to say a word or two in time for your second edition , and had no sooner taken up my pen than I was surprised by a tremendous peal of bells from St .

Upon enquiring the cause , . 1 learned that the Lord Mayor and " Council were on their \? ay to pay their respects the King of Prussia . I thought at first that the joyous sound was in consequence of some new light having flashed across oun .

They formed a great contrast for colour , stature , bone , and sinew , when compared with the idle sedentaries inside .

SHEFFIELD . ( From our own Correspondent . ) Mr . Dean Taylor . —This talented advocate of Chartism visited Sheffield , agreeable to invitation , on Snnday last , and preaoned two sermons the same day in the National Charter Association room , Fig Tree-lane . Mr . T . gave universal satisfaction . In the afternoon a numerous audience was present , bat in the evening the room was crowded to excess . Home Colonization . —On Sunday eTening last , a crowded meeting assembled at the Hall of Science to hear , from Mr . G . A . Fleming , one of the deputation from the Short Time Committee , that lately waited upon the present Administration in behalf of the factory slaves of this country , a lecture on free trade , machinery , emigration , and home colonization . Mr . Fleming began by replying to an attack
on the bhort Time Deputation , which appeared in the Sheffield Independent , of Saturday , the 15 th day of January . After administering a caustic dose to this miserable or £ an of fallen Whiggery , he proceeded to descant with great force on machinery , its nature , use , and effects . He next powerfully refuted the ridiculous errors of Emigrationists —the absurd fallacies of Free Traders , and strange mistakes of Corn Law Repealers . A development of the principles and plans of Home Colonization , together with a defence of the Short Time Reports , were subjeots which formed the concluding parts . The matter of many lectures was condensed into one of more than usual force and effect , which occupied more than two hours in delivery , so that it would be difficult to give even a brief sketch . A short discussion followed .
