BFAt > FORD . —Refdbm Club . —On Friday evening this club held a meeting in the theatre of the Mechanics'Institute ; the members are aaid to number from 600 to 700 , but not more ihan fifty or sixty per £ 0 H 3 were present , including a number of Chiur lists . A chairman was elected , who atated that , the cl-ject of the committee iu calling thorn together , was tworfold ; firet , to submit to their notice a printed circular which had been received from the Com pitta Suffrage Committee t > f Birmingham , inclosing a memorial to the Queen , praying her Majesty to call to her coudcUs men who would use their influence to effect a full , free , and fair representation in tke Commons' House of Parliament ;
aud , secondly , to take the sense of the meeting as to who sh-iil contest the borough of Bradford in the Liberal interest , in the event of another dissolution of Parliament . Mr . . Nicholi , the secretary , stated that their funds were completely exhausted , and , therefore , he hoped every member would volunteer his gratuitous services to caavass the town aud suburbs for signatures to the memorial , and all those who , from a sense of duty and lave of jutt . ee , migl . t feel disposed to do so , would be so kind as to bold up their hands ; when , to their astoni » bmei . t , only six hands were held up . The Chairmau said , he thou ^ lit they had mistaken the Secretary's motion , and called on them to hold up their hands again , when only five
were htld op . Mr . Kenyon , the treasurer , came forward , tnd after a plentiful supply of Whig sophistry , requested a third show of oands ; when , to bis great gratification , he found that he had made two converts ; seven band 3 beisg held up . Her ., the mei ting was at a complete stand still , when Mr . Henry Hodgson , Chartist , rose and ably advocated and contended for the whole Charter . Mr . Fiicn , another Chartist , said this was not a fit and proper time to test public opinion , and if the fifty persons , who were present at this meeting , selected any man or men to represent the borough in the
event of another election , they would thereby insult the ptopie , and lo » a the coufitleiiCe of the electors ; for - . vaat concerned all , ought to be approved of by all ; he , therefore , moved , "That there be no candidates selected uttil the Birmingham Convention closed its sittings , and that public opinion should be itrt ^ d by a pul > Jie meeting convened for thepurpose . " With regard to the memorial , he did not wish the people to be hoodwinked . Mr . IHingworth , manufacumr , moved as an amendment , ** the meeting stand adjourned till after the lOih of April , " which was earned , and the meeting adjourned .

' ] Hobtos . —A meeting of" Reformers" was held on Tnt = day evening , at the QaeenV Arms , to consider the &urge Memorial . Messrs . Arran and Smith haviDg been invited , contended that the document % 7 &s , m its present form , indefinite and unsatisfactory . S . eing this likely to hurt their ' * move , " the Sturgites objected to the right of these gentlemen to speak ; this being much easier than to answer their argumeuis .

BTNGXEIF . —Brutal A ssault . —On Saturday afternoon , an altercat-on took place between a man named Laycsck , a publican at Bingley , and a per-^ od in his employment named Hains . it seems that Hains was allowed ji pint of ale forenoon and afternoon , and that on the day in question his employer found him with a email ' stonei bottle , containing a pint of . porter , which he said he had obtained for his "'lowance "—there being 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 , Laycock seized the bottle , and struck Hains with it a frightful blow 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 .
ARMLEY-Imposition on Secret OBDEBa . ^—During the last week a man was travelling in the neighbourhood of Leeda , 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 oonsequsace of the destruction of that manufactory by fire , a little before last Christmas , he was now so reduced as to render him an object deserving the sympathy of his brotherhood . He had
documents , purporting tobs sent from Court No . 112 , of Manchester , and met with that support which real distress deserves . It ha ? , however , been ascertained that nosuchperseu 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 ape , aud stands about five feet five inches high , of light complexion , and 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 Jenee , who was convicted of the murder of Mary Hallum , at Mansfield , was executed on the new drop , in frunt of the County Gaol , at Nottingham .

VILLANY , BRUTALITY , AND HYPOCRISY EXPOSED AND CHASTISED . TO THE BV 1 T 0 B OF XUE KORTHERN STAB . Sm , —Allow me through the medium of your invaluable paper , to lay before your numerous readers and the public at large , a f = w facts connected with the outrageous and brutal affair which took place at the Hall of Science , Camp-field , Manchester , on Tuesday , March the 17 th . I was preseiit , and saw the cowsxdly and brutal attack which was made upon the life of Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and the leading Chitrtists by a set of ruffians , their principal leaders being Finigan , Daley , Duffdy , tec . if Anti-Corn Law notoriuty .
Now , Sir , as I am a ware that it is generally understood that most of thsse men profoss to belong to the Cutholie religion ; us I know that some of their leaders have of late been flgurihg upon the . - . Catholic platforms preaching up temperance , morality , and religion ; and as I am aware that the eaemies of that ^ religion , who are alike the sworn enemies of all civil ami religious libeny , would takoadViihtaaa of the circumstance aud endeavour to make' the - ' world believe that it ib in consequence of their belongiugito that reiigion , and that they ate led on by their priests ; and aa the Kev . Daniel Hearne , whoia a countryman of theirs and likewise the president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society , than whom a more
charitable , benevolent , and liberal nunded man doea not exist , and who for hisr swal and exertions in the Temperance cause his equal is not to bo found in England , wtuJd come in for his share of the censure ; knowing , oil this , I considered it a duty incumbent on me , in vindication of the character of that religioawhica I respect aad venerate , anil in vindication of the character of the clergy , and particularly the character of the Key . Daniel Hcarue , whose jiist 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 large / the manner in which the guilty party , pavticularly the l « adcrs , have been exposed , repriiuanded , and denuunced as bnemii's of their country aud religiorj .
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 false statements of a ba ^ e aud a hireling press . I knew that the guilty pavty would endeavour to make their case clear . I therefore took up my pen and wrote a report tf the whole disgraceful proceedings , aud directed it to the Rev . Daniel , He&rne , resolved that' the real truth should bo made known to him upon my woid and honour , ¦
that those were the . plain and simple facts , and that if Finigan , Daley , and the rest of these leaders we e not driven from the Catholic platforms that I woulil weet 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 p ) ain and unyarnjflhed statenients upon the yerncity of niy word and honour , in defiance of the , alitflUng statemeutfl of tae guilty patty , and in defiance of the false statements of a base and a bireling press .
It would bo Sunaay morning when he got my letter ; I : itten »! ed the Guild Hall in the evening , in which the TernperaiiCtt Society hold their meetings , of which the Rsv . Daniel Hearne is the president , a room capable of holding upwards of a thousand people . It wob erowdjud , being the Sunday before St . Patrick ' s Day . Stveral persons having . iddre&seU the meeting , the Chtiirman called upon Mr . Diiley , a well known udvoc » tt > of the temperance cause . Mr . Daley came forward , and in his usual hypocritical style , appealed to his countryiuen to coine forward and join the temperance causey that they might show to the world that they were ornaments to their religion and to society ; thiit tlit ; V might banish prejudice from the world ; bold out the right hand of fellowship to every man , no mutter what his religion , his politics , or his country wight be .
A respectable man in the body of the meeting called out , " Yes , like as you did in the Hall of Science on Tuesday night . " ; At length be sat down . About this time ftir . Hearne entered the Hall , and ascended the piatt ' orm . The first person he came to was Daley . He iminedlattily showed him the door . He then took his seat in the chair . On his left , next to him , sat Finigau , dressed ia bis official robes belonging to the Holy Guild , which society he has entered , no doubt , as a cloak to cover his villaiiy . To have seen him you would bare thought he was a saint , be sat so miite , pulling a face as long as a fl'idlo . The moment Mr . Hearno saw him he ordered him eft' the plaVforin . He then came to iha front of the pJatlor / n , and in his visual pointed and eloquent Btyle addt ' . sseil . theni to the foliowipg tffect : —I am Bick ; I am Gomp etely diaheartened : You hayegiven me enough this tiino to last me six monthe . Your base conduct in the Hall of
Science has brought ( iingraco i ^ ' p . ou me and all connected With you . To think ihat i canuoi go througll thei street ! and hold ray htad up , but must bo compelled to hold my head down through your ccuduet . thayn had statements from both parties . Pepplo appeal-to ' ine to use my influence ; you completely dishearten me . lam the head of this society ; and if you cci . tuue to disgrace yourselves in this manner , I will cut tho head off , and ' the body and the tail may do as it will j and I will leave the town , for I am determined not to be disgraced with you . He continued to address them in this style for seme time ; and after administerini ? the nle < lge to a number of persons , be lyft the plitform . He went into the committee room , and there made Fiirigitti > trip ott" his rooes , ar . U toicl hiru : never to attempt to pt > t them on again until ho proved by his conduct that he was worthy of them . H » tbezi left the ball , and 1 havebeen -informed that he wtutiuto Little Ireland to another kmpe drice room , and gave them a severe reprimand also .
Mr . Editor , allow me one or two words to thoae misguided men who have been led in 10 this disgraceful affair by seHf-u t ^ rested men . Fellow staves , wtrn wiil you cut the leading strings , and bt'gin to think and act for yourselves ? Wh ^ n will you open your eya , that ye ' u may see yonv real enemies ? Remember tho tjwnt ' s motto always is—divi'le and conquer . He who would set you against your fetlowman , is your enemy , no matter what hia name may be . Are you not , as -working men robneii , ot your hard eariiings by the same wicked and unjust laws aa we are ? la yourcountty not weighed down by the same unbearable ioaa of oppression and taxauon that ours is ? Why do jou hot come forward auU join with your fellow men , wlio are struggling to remove thuse Burdens ? ''• ¦ - ¦ : : - - ¦ ' ..:. " . ' ¦ " . ' .- ¦ . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦ ' .
O , you are told that the Chartists are enemies to your country , and to your religion , and that they are leagued witb the Tories . I , as ft Cittiolic , atid on behalf of thousands of my fellow Caiholics who have joined the Cbartiste , hurl back the ioul calumuy in tha teeth ot any one who shoulci dare to make such false assertions . . . '¦; ¦ Good God ! could wo join with any party who were enemies to that rtlijjion which we rtapect and venerate , and particularly with tae Tories , that , we kuoW ux 6 sworn enemies to all civil und religious h te ' rty ? Q , no , the thing ia too absurd to be belieye < i by any sober or reflecting mind , and the men who make the statements know that they are false .
But you are told : that O Connor is your enemy ; 0 let mo implore of you to get his lectures that be delivered in tne Hall of Science . Call your fiiendB together , and let them be read ; banish prejudice from your minds ; listen patiently to every word they contain , and then judge lor yourselves whether you think he is either an enemy to your country or your religion , if you will do this , I pledge my word that you will curse yourselves that you did not listen patiently to htar him deliver them .
My friends , whai is it that O'Connor and the Cbartiste are struggling for ? They are struggling to obtaui those jast and inalienable rights whicii belong- equally to ftyery man ftt his birth ; but of which thtsy nave been so long robbed . They are struggling to get a power over the law , by which alone they "wrill ever be able to frte thtrniielves fturn the wicked atid unjust system which la crushing both you and them to the earth . They are struggling to give you that power by which alone you will eyer be able to get : a Repeal of the Union , so as to be beneficial to the great bulk of i ' ' ¦ ¦ ¦ '

CALAMITOUS EXPLOSION £ ) F A STEAM BOILER ^ SIXTEEN LIV ^ S LOST . ( From the Gifrsgow Courier of Tuesday . ) The readers of our ' papet ^ are aware that a fine fasi sailing steamer , named the Telegraph was lately built for the > riv . er ^ trade for the ; purpose ofcompeting with the railway . She has been . plying for some time back , and bein ^ on the high pressure principle , baa beat the swiftest steamers in the passage to Grepiibbk . yesterday ^ about half-past twelve o ' ciook i thepeopie bathe steam-boat quay , Greeuock , heard a report as if a battery of cannon , had been discharged at Helensburgh ( a distance of four miles ) . A smoke was seen to arise , and telescopes . being procured , the explosion of the Telegraph was . iminediately
discovered , Two of ; the tug steamers lying at Gfeenock quay ^ got the steam up , and sailed for Helensburijh , to render whatever assistance they could . On ar ? riving at Helensburgh they found that the Telegraph ' s boiler had exploded , and that the hull of the vessel ^ as a to * al wreck , arid literally floating away in pieces . It appears that the passengers for Helpaaburgli had all landed , and that the boat was about to proceed on her passage up the : Gairipch when the : explosion took place . Something connected with the management of the ralvos is supposed to have caused the aceident . Since the above : was put in type , an acquaintance has furnished us Avith a few additiouai / particulars ia relation to this most appalling catastrophe , it is impossible adequately to uescrib 0 the scene at the moment the explosion occurred . The vessel itself
burst like a bouibf hell , and momentarily became , a total wreck—so much so , that riot' a Biu ^ le part of the vessel reniained together afloat . In every direction could be observed , scattered about , the mutilated limbs of tho unfortunaie passengers , and the water was literally tinged with .-their blood . The boiler in the explosion was blown completely ashore , so as to convey to the spectator the idea of tho aisappearance of the steamer altogether . When our -inform-. ant left , he saw fifteen bodies in the Toutine Hotel , ilelensbur ^ h , which he recognised . Two of the paintera' bodies : had ! nbt been recovered . As halfpaist four , the steamer Royal Tar sailed from Helenaburgh with a number of the wouuded oh board . O £ these six were landed at Greenock , whero the Provost ; had a number of biers ready to remove the sufiFerers that arrived to the infirmary .
( From the Second Edition of the Glasgow Chronicle . ) This , we regret io say , has been bno . of the most frightful catastrophes we have ever been called fipoa to record . The vessel itself , we learni is literaliy shivered into spars , and the force of the explosion was so tremendous that the engine was blovyii to a distance of twenty yards .. Tbe dead bodies present a shocking' spectacle , one of them being completely decapitated , and others so dreadfully bruised and burned ; that they hardly present one vestige of humanity . . . '' ¦ The list of the killed aud wounded , so far as can yet be ascertained , is as follows : —
Killed ^ Gaptain Ewing ; of the Tdegraph ; W . Bannatync , engineer of ditto ; Mr . Hedderwick , of the firm -of--Hedder ' wick- and Kankine ; Mrs . How of Greenock ; Miss Keith , sister to JVlra . How ; John M'Diarmid , pilot ; —— M'isair ; Robert M Ausiah , one of the crew ; Robert Cadenhead , carpenter , Govah '; .- ' Peter M'Lintock and Thomas M'Q . ueerij painters—bodies not found ; Daniel Sinclair ! fire , man ; a pilot , name unkuo \ yn ; two men , supposed to be tailors—namea not known ; James Johns-on , late of the Watierloo House , Greeuock ; another man , name hot known .
Woundkd—Mrs . Keith , Greenock , much hurt , but able to walk , mother of the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil , bruised ; Kichard Anderson , foreman to HedderVvick aud Rankine , dangerously wounded ; James Stenhouse , carpenter , severely wounded ; Miss M'Kellor , Greenock , hu > t , but not dangerously ; Caaries M Quarrey , painter , badly wounded ; Geo . Leek , < littOT lei » bi-oke in two place ' p , and otherwise hurt ; Dugald Gameroii , tlpck hand , Slightly wounded ; Duncan Kennedy , ditro ; LauubJan Gameron , severely wounded . This list , although not altogether complete , contains nearly the whole of the casualties .

JOURNAL OP MR . WEST . I think it my duty to inform my Chartist brethren of the progress of onr glorious principles in this agricultural district It is rhucli to be lamented that we have not more lecturers in tho agricultural counties , for in truth " the harvest is abundant but the labourers are few . " I commenced at Leeds , and proceeded to Doncaster , and in that arUtocratic pla « e Chartism is in the ascendant . We got the use of the Town Hall for our meetings . My worthy and talented predecessor , Mr . Jones , has done much for the cause in this district The Town Hall w » first greeted for his use ; and so long as the Chartists conduct th <» ir meetings with the good order and decotum that they have done , they will always be allowed it I had a splendid meeting ; the Mayor tod a great many of the middle classes were present , and listened -with exeat attention .
I then , proceeded to Howden , where Chartism is In its infancy : the priacip ^ a are quite novel to them . 1 addressed a good meeting in the Market Place .
