HU » 3 > EESPIELD .-Magistrate ' s Office . —There was great interest and anxiety displayed on Monday , before the Bench , in consequence of Mr . William NortoD , fancy manufacturer , ( who reduoed his workmen's wa ^ es a Bhort time ago , for which they turned out , ) being brought up by his menj who had warps iu their looms at the time such reduction was made , for-refusing to supply them with weft to fini > k the same at the old prices . The office was crammed , and after a controversy between the official pleadsrs , which lasted several hours , J . Sutcliffe Esq ., said he could not decide , and would therefore leave it to arbitration—the mon choosing one and Mr . Norton the other , and in case they disagree the magistrate to appoint a third party as referee .
EIWQlaEY . —Brutal A ssault . —On Saturday afternoon , an altercat-on took pJace between a man named Laycsck , a publican at Bingley , and a person in his employment named Hains . It seems that Hains was allowed n piut of ale forenoon and afternoon , and that on the day in question his employer found him with a email * stone bottle , containing a pint of . porter , which he said he had obtained for his "'lowance "—there beine no ale on tap . Laycock suspected that this porter was extra "' lowance , aud " blew up , " saying that he would hot be robbed . This brought angry words from the man , and , after much altercation , and the bandying of many choice epithets , Lay cock seized the bottle , and struck . Hains with it a trig'httul-biow on the temple , which felled him bleeding and insensible to the ground . A surgeon was called in , and the man ' s wife was sent for from Leeds . He was lying very ill with the wound on Monday ,
ATtMLEY . —Imposition on Secret Orders/—During the last week a man was travelling in the neighbourhood of Leeds , assuming the name of George Crossley , and pretending to belong to the Society of Ancient Fore .-ter ? . He represented himself as having a wife and four small children , by trade a cottoa twist packer for exportation , and formerly in the employ of Mr . Powley , of Manchester ; but , in oons ^ qusace of the destruction of that manufactory by fire , a little before last Christinas , he was now so reduced as to reader him an object deserving the sympathy of his brotherhood . He had
documents , purporting tobe sent from Court No . 112 , of Manchester , and met with that support which real distress deserves . It ha ? , however , been ascertained that no such person ever belonged to the above Court , and that the documents of which he ia in possession have been got up on purpose to qualify him for the imposition in which he has so well succeeded . He is about forty years of age , aud stands about five feet five inches high , of light complexion , aud slender : he had on a black frock coat , and appeared quite respectable . Should this Mr . Crossley enter another Forest under such pretences , its inhabitants would do well to apprehend him as an
impostor . Execution . —On Tuesday morning , at eight o ' clock , John Jones , who was convicted of the murder of Alary Hallum , at Mansfield , was executed on the new drop , in front of . the County Gaol , at Nottingham .

VILLANY , BRUTALITY , AND HYPOCRISY EXPOSED ANJO CHASTISEp . TO THE EDIT 0 B OP TUB > ' 0 RXHERN STAB . Sm , —Allow me through the medium of your invaluable paper , to lay before your numerous readers and the pubJic at large , a f = w facts coijnected with the outrageous and brutal affair which took place at the Hall of Science , Camp-neld , Manchester , on Tuesday , March the 17 th . I was present , and saw the cowardly and brutal attack which was made upon the life of Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and the- leading Chartists by a set of ruffians , their principal leaders being Finigan , Daley , Duffoy , &c . if Anti-Corn Law notoriuty .
Now , Sir , as I am awaio that it is : generally understood that most of thssa men prof bss « o belong to the Catholie religion ; us I know that some of their leaders have of late baen figuring upon the Catholic platfttimB preaching up temperance , morality , and reiigion j and as I am aware that the eaemies of that religion , who are alike the sworn enemies of all civil ami religious liberty , would tato adviiiitaaa of the circumstance aud endeavour to make the world beliove that it is in consequence of their belongitigto that reiigion , and that they are led on by their priests ; and as the Rev . JDaniel Hearne , whoia a couutryman of theirs and likewise the president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society , than whom a more
charitable , benevolent , and liberal minded . -man does not exist , and ; who for his zsal and exertions in the Tcmparancd cause his equal is not to bo found in England , would come in for his share of the censure ; knowing all this , I considered it a duty incumbtnt on me , in vindication of the character of that religion which I respect sad venetata , anil in vindication of the character of the clergy , and particularly the character of the Key . Daniel Htarue , whose juat and impartial conduct in this affair entitles him to the respect and esteem of good men , to lay betore your numerous readers and the public at Urgei the manner in which the guilty party , pnvticularly the leaders , have been exposed , reprimanded , and denounced as enemies of their country and religion .
I will now lay the facts plainly down just as they have occurred to me , and leave a wise and just public to judge for tbemBelvee . I was eye-witness to the whole affair at the Hall of Science . I saw the faLsu statements tf a base and a hireling press . I knew that the guilty patty would eiideavour to make their casei clear . I therefoto took up my pen and wrote a report tf the whole disgracuful proceedings , and directed it to the Rev . Daniel . Hearno , resolved that- the real truth jshouM bo made known to him upon my word and ; honour .
that those ¦ wure tiie plain . and simple facts , and that if Fiuigan , Paley , and the rest of theso leaders we e not driven from the Catholic platforms that I would Kieet them , wherever they should dare to appear , and expose : them to the pub . ic at all risks ; and ,. Sir , to his eternal praise be it made known , he did believe my plain and unvarnished etatenien ^ upon th « veracity of my word and honour , in defiance of the slitffling statenienta of Ihe guilty patty , and in defiance of the false statements of a base and a birelint ; press . ' -.
It would be . Sumiay morning when he got my letter ; I : itten >) ed the Guild Hail in the evening , in which the TemperaiiOt ) Suciety hold their meetings , of which the Rav . Daniel Hearne ia the president , a room capable of holding--upwards of a thousand people . It was crowded , being the Sunday before St . Patrick ' s Day . Stveral pfcrsons having addrebscd the meeting , the Chairman called upon Mr . Daley , a well known advocate of the ttruperanee cause . ; ¦ - . - .. Mr . Daley came forward , and in his usual hypocritical style , appealed to his countrymen to come forward and join the ttimperance cause , that they might sbow to the world that they were ornamtnta to their religion and to society ; th : » t tlitiy might banish prejuilice from the world ; hold out the right hand of fellowship to every man , no mutter what his reiigion , his politics , or his country might be .
A r « 8 pecta >) la man in the body of ' tke . meeting called put , "Yes , like asyou did in the Hall of Science on Tuesday night . " - At length he sat down . About this time air . Hearne entered the Hall , and ascended the platform . The first person he came to was Djley . He imiiiedlately showed him the door . He then took his seat in the chair . On bis left , next to him , eat Finigiu , dressed in his official robes btlonging to the Holy Guild , which society he has entered , no doubt , as a cloak to cover his viUauy . To have seen him you would baro thoaght he was a saint , lie sat bo mute , pulling a . face as long as a'friVule . The moment Mr . Hearnu saw him he ordtred him off the platform . H « then came to vhe front of the platiorm , and in his usual pointed and eioquent istyle addnssed . theni to the foliowing tffect : —I aui eick ; I am Gomp etely disheartened : You have given me enough this tiino to last me six montbe . Your base conduct in the Hiilt . of
Science . has brought ( iisgraco v ( pon me and all connectcil With you . To think that ' £ canuoi go through thei street * and hold my htad up , but must be compelled to hold my head down through your conduct . I have had statements from both parties . People apptal to ine to use my influence ; you completely dishearttri me . lam the head of this society ; arid if you cciitnue to diegrace yourselves in this manner , I will cut tho head off , and the body and the tail may do as it will ; and I will leave the town , for I am deteriniued not to be disgraced with you . lie continued to address them in this style for scnie time ; and after administerinii ; the plwlge to a number of pvrwns , ha lufD the platform ^ He went into the committee room , and there made Finigftu ; ttrip ott" bis robes , ai ; d toid him : never to attempt to put them on again until ho proved by his conduct that he was worthy of tUouv . He then left the hall , and I havebeen ¦ informed that he wtnt into Little Ireland to another kmpe ance room , and gave them a severe repriniahd also . .. ¦ ¦ . .-. ..-. ¦ ¦¦
Mr .

AVhen will you open your eya , that yau may see youv real enemies ? Remember the tyrant ' s motto always is—divi'ie and conquer . He who would set you against your feilowmau , is your enemy , no matter what hia name may be . Are you not , as working men roblieii , of your hard earnings by tho aamawickud uud unjust laws aa we are ? 1 b your countiy not weighed down by thBaamo unbearable Ioaa of oppression and taxsv-ion that ours is ? Why do jou hot come forward auil join with your fellow men , who are struggling to remove these Burdens ? '' - ' - ' ¦'¦ . ' ¦ " ¦ .:. ' '" . ' . ¦ ¦ . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' .
O , you are told that the Chartists are enemies to your ttountry , and to your religion , and that they are leagued with the Tories . I , as a C ^ tuolic , and oh behalf of thousands of my fellow Caiholica who have joined the Chartists , hurl back the foul calumny in tha teeth of any one who should daro to make eucn false assertions . . ' , .. \ Good God I coud we join with any party who were enemieB to that religion whieh we reapsct iind venerate , and particularly with the Tories , that ; we know 0 x 6 sworn enemies to all civil und religious liberty ? Q . no , the thing is too . absurd to be believe < l by any sober or reflecting mind , and the men who make thei sSatenieutsi know that they are false . \
But you are told : that O Connor is your enemy . C let nio implore of you to get his lectuves that he deli-Vered in the Hall of Science . Call your friends together , and let them be read ; banish prejudice from yourminds ; listen putiently to every word they contain , and then judge for yourselves whether you thick he is either an eBemy to your country or your religion . If you will do this , 1 pledge my word that you wilj cur « e yourselves that you did not listen patiently to ixtax him deliver them .
My friends , what is it that O'Connor and the Chartiata are struggling for ? They are struggling to obtain those jost and inalienable rights whicii belong equally to every man at his birth ; but of which they hav « been so long robbed . ' They are struggling to get a power ovei the law , by wtiich alone they ¦ will ever he able to frte thtmtielves fruin the wicked and unjust system which ia crushing both you and them to the earth .

CALAMITOUS EXPLpsid ?} W A STEAM BOILER-SIXTEEN LlVgS LOST . .- ¦ . . - ( From the Gi&sgpic . Courier of : Tuesday . ) The readers of our paper are awaie that a fiae fast sailing steamer , named the Telegraplij was lately built ior the river tradeforthe purpose of competing with tfie ' railway . She has been . plying for some time back , arid bein ^; on the high pressure ' . -principle , ' . has . beat the swiftest steamera in the passage to Grreoiiock . Yesterday ^ about half-past twelve o ' ciock ,: lhe people ' on the steam-boat quay , Greeuock , heard a report as if a battery of cannon , had been discharged at Holensburgh /(* distance of four miles ) . A sinoke was seen to arise , and telescopes . being procured , the explosion of the Telegraph was immediately
discovered , Two of : the tug steahjerB lying at Gfeenock quay ^ got the steam , up , and sailed for Helensburgh , to render whatever assistauce they could . On arr riving at Helensburgh they found that the Telegraph's boiler had exploded , and that the hull of the vessel was a to-al wreck , arid literally floating away in pieces . It appears that the passengers for HelenaburgK had all landed , and that the boat was about to proceed on her passage up the Gwrloch y ? hcn the explosion took place . Something connected with the management of the valves is supposed to have caused the accident . Since the above : was put in type , an acquaintance has furnished us with a few additioiial particulars in relation to this most appalling catastrophe . It is impossible adequately to describe the scene at the moment the explosion occurred . The vessel itself
burst like a bouib f hell , and momentarily : became , a total wreck—so much so , that riot a Biii ^ le part of the vessel remained together afloat . In every direction could be observed , scattered about , the mutilated limbs of tho unfortunaie passengers , and the water was literally tiiiged with tbeir blood . The boiler in the explosion waa blown completely ashore , bo as to convey to the spectator the idea of the oisappearance of the steamer altogether . When our informant left , he saw fifteen bodies in the Toutine Hotel , Helensburgh , which lie recoguised . Two of the painters' bodies : haii not been recovered ; At halfpast four , the steamer Royal Tdr sailed ( toxa Helensburgh with a number of the wounded oh board . OS these six were landed at Greenock , whero the Provost had a number of biers ready to remove the sufferers that arrived to the irifirmary .
( From the Second Edition of the Glasgow Chronicle . ) This , we regret to say , has been bno of the most frightful catastrophes we have ever been called uppa to record . The vessel itself , we learn i is literally shivered into spars , and the force of the explosion was so tremendous that the engine was blowii to a distance of twenty yards .. The dead bodies present a shocking' spectacle , one of them being completely decapitated , and others so dreadfully bruised arid ' bunted t that they hardly present one vestige of humariity . . ^ . '¦ The iisti of the killed aud wounded , so far as can yet be ascertained , is as follows : — ;
Killed ^ Gaptain Ewing . of the Telegraph ; W . Bannatync , engineer of ditto ; Mr . Hedderwick , of the firm of Hedderwick and ilankiae ; Mrs . How ofGreenbck ; Miss Keith , sister taiVlra .

Keith , Greenocb , much hurt . but able to walk , mother of the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil , bruised ; Uichard Anderson , foreman to Hedderwick aud Rankine , dangerously wounded ; Jame 8 : Stenhou 8 e , carpenter , severely woiiucied ; Miss M'Kellor , Greenock , huit , but not dangerously ; Gnarled M Q'iarrey , painter , badly wounded ; Geo .
