BBIGHTON . — Extbemes sometimes meet . " —A case of this kind has happened in Brighton , that no sooner was known than the news flew Kke wildfire . On Monday morning last , to those who were present , was seen a sight that will not be forgotten for many a day ; and what would the good readers of the Star think it was ? Why , Feargus O'Connor , the chieftain of the Chartists of " England , arm in arm with the eery reverend modest Vicar of Brighton , he who stopped the clock , trudging np Church Hill to the Brighton Workhouse . ' The facts of the case are these : —Mr . O'Connor was out walking ; he came to the church-yard of St . Nicholas , and , meeting a person , aiked him how he could get a look at the workhouse ! The " Vicar , who was officiating at a
funeral , hastily spoke to MX . O'Connor , that it he would wait a few moments , he should be very glad to shew him the workhouse , ho being one of the Guardians of the poor . Mr . O'Connor waited , and , in waiting , a working man recognised him , and quietly asked him if he knew who he bad been talking to ? Mr . O'ConEor explained ; and the maa replied , "That that was the fellow who stopped the clock I" Mr . O'Connor , though takes rather aback-, was Eot dismayed at the awful sound ; and presently wa 3 seen the Rev . Vicar and Fear ^ 'US O'Connor walking together to the workhouse . Mr . O'Connor was much gratified at the comfort of the inmates exhibited to him , Brighton being governed by an Act of its own ; and , after spending an hour
and " half , and also going over the new burial ground that has cost tLo parish so much , bade the Rev . Gentleman in black good morning . The Vicar knew not , from first to last , who was his distinguished visitor ; bat Mr . O'Connor kuew his man , and expressed to ns in the evening , amidst the laughter of hL > frieccs , the pheasant companion he had hid in visiting the Brighton Workhouse . Whether Mr . O'Connor instilled the Chartist principles into the mind of the Her . Gentleman we do not know ; if he has fortunately done so , we trust the respected Vicar wili lose no time in letting his flock have the benefit of his conversion . 0 ? all the choice pic nics , this is , to us in Brighton , a beautiful one : in fact , we . may say that the town is convulsed withlaughter from one end to the other . — Correspondent .

BLACK . BURN . —3 ilk"weav £ RS . —For a great length of time tho power-loom weavers of Blackburn have sufLred various reductions in their wages , until they are reduced 26 per cent , from their former earnings , which masters are not consent with , but we most still safer onrselTes to be further robbed-of our hard earnings . You mast know that the proprietors of tho Brookhouse Mills , haye introduced patent looms into their mills , which in themselves are a redaction to the weaver of one penny in the shilling ; we had , on their introduction , since
ehrisHnas latt . ' a further reduction of two-pence in the shilling , which we submitted to ; we have bow had a further notice of three-half-pence in the shilling , making in the vrli&le threepence-halfpenny in the shilling since Christmas JasL Against such a shameful robbery , we , the power-loom weavers of the Brookhouse Mills , have determined to make a stand , being determined not to submit without a struggle , and call upon our suffering fellow workmen , to assist us in resisting such tyranny , well knowing that if we submit quietly we must suffer a EtiH further reduction .
MANCHESTER . —DESTRrcno » of Battt ' s Cibccb by Pjhs . —On Sfltnrday night , about twenty minutes to twelve o ' clock , information wag Riven at the Town Yari that Batty ' a Circus , Great Br idge-street , was on fire . Mr . Rose immediately proceeded to the place with three engines , and four or five water cart 3 ; but , before his arrival , tie flames had progressed bo far that it was utterly impossible to save the buildiDg . He , therefore , directed his attention to the preservation of the EHTTonnding property , which was in imminent danger . On oca side of the circcs , Mr . Matthew Brougham ' s timber-yard , which was nearly filled with -stock , a great portion of which was lying against the burning buiidipg ; and , on the other
side , the extensive factory belonging to Messrp . Rojle and Crompton , required the most active , and strennons exertions to save them from the flames . * Upwards of 400 panes of glass in tbe factory were broken by the heat , and by the force of the water which was played on them to prevent the fire from communicating with the windows . Mr . Rose had persons stationed inside of the several windows facing the circu ? , in order to extinguish any sparks that might get in through tho broken paise ? . An engine was stationed at the back of the Circus , for the purpose of preventing the flames from communicating with the Albion Mills . Mr . Ilose and the firemen exerted themselves with their usual
energy ; and it is crecitable to them to say , that the entire damage to the surrounding property will be covered by about £ 50 . Mr . Well ? , who had the Circus hired for exhibiting feats of horsemanship in it dnring the Easter week , performed there on Saturday night ; and with much difficulty succeeded in getting oat his horses and most of the properties . Two trained dogs and a monkey perished in the flame ? . Mr . WeSs ' s lo ? ses are estimated at abent £ 200 ,-besides what he might have realised from his performances during the present week . The fire was completely extingui ? hed about three o ' clock on Sjnday morning . The bnilding is a complete wreck , and wft have not ascertained whether it was insured .
No clue to the origin of the fire has been discovered . " IiEEDS . —A Hoi > epi ; l Sos . —On Monday last , two youths named Thomas Taylor and Wm . Lowe , were charged before the Leeds Borough Justiees , the former with having broken open a secretaire in his mother ' s house , and stolen £ 10 ; and the other with being privy thereto . Mrs . Taylor is a widow , residing ia Sykes-street , Yi > rk Road , and the conduit of young Taylor , since his father ' s death , has been such as to render his mother ' s life miserable . As a last resource , she had him bound apprentice to tie sea ; but after a voyage or two he ran away , and has now been for some time at home , where his evil genius teems to have made him the terror of bJ 3 family . Oa Sunday afternoon , dur ing his mother ' s' temporary absence , he broke open the drawer , stole the money , and left the house . Mrs .
Taylor did not discover her loss till aboui nine o ' clock at night , and she then gave information to the police , by whose exertions Taylor was found , and it appearing that Lowe , who only bears a bad character , had been with him at Harewood Bridge , where they had spent money pretty freely , he was apprehended also . Ii wa 3 also discovered that Taylor had left £ 0 in the hands of Mr . Laycock , the Masou 3 ' Arms , in Si . James-stratt . Mrs . Taylor shrunk from pressing the charge against her son , and consequently there being another case of felony against him , both of them were remanded until Tuesday , on which day Taylor was again charged with having stslea a top coat , the property oF Mr . B . Purday , assistant to Mr . Foster , surgeon , Kirkgate . He had the great coat on when he was apprehended on Sunday night , and it was slated to have been stolen on Friday night . On this charge he waa committed for trial . Lowe was discharged .

ANOTHER CASE OF DESTITUTION AND . DEATH . On Saturday evening , a long investigation was gone into before Mr . Payne , tho city coroner , on the body of Ellen Sexton , aged 48 , a prisoner in the City Bridewell , Bridgo-streft , Blackfriars , whose death took place under tho following circumstances : — ¦ ' ¦ - . - \ . ¦ ' . ' -. ' ' ¦ . :: ' : . ¦ ¦ ¦ . : Ellen Sexton , a prisoner , deposed—The deceased was my mother , and was a widow . We were committed to prison together that day month . For four mouths previous to that occasion we had no place to go to , and for two days and nights wo had had nowhere to lay our heads , and had not
taated food for the samo time . We applied at the West London Union Workhouse for relief , which was denied us . We were then quite ' .. destitute , and walked as far as Caunon-stretit , where we broke a window purposely to get the shatter' of a prison . We ' were . taken- to ' --the ' - . . Mansion . House , and being unable to pay for the window were committed : or a month to kard labour . My mother was not put on the treadmill , not being able to bear it . She had a bed to sleep on , and I slept with her . 0 n Friday morning , we got up about a quarter to six ; deceased was theu quite well . She went into the reading-room , and I left her ; about eight o ' clock I was sent for , and on going up stairs , { found Her dead . . ; ;
By the Jury . —We were very kindly treated in prison , and were more comfortable than we had been for some time before wo were sent there > , My mother wasafiected with a shortness of ^ breut ti . We applied at the ¦ Weat-st » eet . workhouse , but they would not take us in or give us relief . The Coroner said , they were bound to relieve them as casual poor . A Guardian of the union who waa present said , he thought the witness had made a mistake , as relief was never denied . He wished to know positively the day on which application was made , as he should feel it his duty to make strict inquiry into the matter .
The witness sain , that it was that very day month . A Juror said , b y the witness ' s state aent H ap * peared that two prisoners slept in one bed . He wished to know from the governor the reason of it . Tho Governor said the prison was bo full that not only were three persons compelled to sleep in one bed , but many who could not be provided with beds were compelled to lie upon the & > or . This was owing to ; the' number committed in a destitute state , who broke windows , &o ., to get the shelter of the gaol , Eleanor Redding said—I was in the room set apart for the "incapables" ( prisoners not able to work , ) on Friday morning , about eight o ' clock , when the deceased came in , who said to me , " f have had such a singular dream—sit-down and I'll tell it you . " The deceased sat down , and I was about to do the same , when she fell forward . I immediately lifted her up and found her dead .
By tho Jury—She was very kiadly treat id in prison , aed was never put on the mill . She Was eating a piece of bread when eho came into the
room . Mr . Charles Holding , of Bridge-street , Burgeon , said deceased was dead when he was called in . He could not state : the precise cause of her death , but iu his opinion it arose from a disease of the heart . The Corosjer said , that the present case was one out of the many they heard of , of persons breaking windows to get ; tho > helter of a prison , which they preferred to the workhouse . As regarded the refusal of relipf they had only the statement , o * the daughter , and if the Jury wished to go into the truth of that statement the inquiry must be adjourned . With respect to the question of the New Poor Law , he trusted that it would be greatly improved . From what he knew of the Governor of the prison he had not the least daubt but the deceased had beon kindly treated , aud that her incarceration , had prolonged instead of shortened her life . The Jury not thinking it necessary to adjourn , retutueda verdict of •' Natural Death . "

my opinion a piece of borrible blaiphemy . . -. ' .

•' Not only in Hindostan , tut everywhere obatacles and enemies , have seemed to nielt before our anns or our policy .. Wisely or unwisely , justiy or unjustly , it seemed that we had but to move , and put- . wcik was done ! till we had begun to think , as with the unbappy Chinese , that our wili was law as well as power , and that it was an absurdity to suppose that fdrbMdeB . which British interest , or glory ; seemed to require . At last , there baa come a shock , and . uaw , aa it has not prospered , men dare call it treason !"

In their ignprance and Bimplicity they imagined , the East Inilia Company , some stfaaga old woman , or , Begum , tbat she ruled over a nation of woudroua animals , who possessed and ruled over half the world ; that they were invariably cot querow , and by their arts , arms , and civiliz-vtion , they were uevt ^ r beaten , tbat it was madness to oppose their will .

We have no cbauce of success in C 4 bul or in the East , cveutually .

Mr . T . B . Smith will always have a stock by him , whereby the Chartists of Leeds may be supplied . M r .

And there is one thing which I would have you to bear in mind , wh \ ch is that my Blacking is not only more brilliant , but it is more durable than almost any other ; and the reason of this superiority ; is , that componeht which gives the lustre ' : and durability I give you in a much greater proportion than most other blacking-makera do ; a » . d the reason why it is so sparingly used by many is , that it is the most expensive part oi' the compound ; but I , being of a different opinion to tho "Davil ' s Dust " Manufacturers , am resolved that the people shall not have a bad article from me .

TO MR . ROBERT KEMP PHILP . Sin , —You are a member of the General Council of the National Charter Association ; bo am I . The course you took , at the lat * Bath Conference of Sturgites , has called forth one general barst of disapprobation against you : you hiive hot met this by argument , '¦ but by niere empty assertion , i and bombastic observations about mushroom Chartists . This style of lan guage comes with a very ill grace from Mr . Philp ! and only furnishes additional evidence of your disaff = ction : to Chartism
You affect to treat me and others wltb ; superctlions contempt , which also proves you an aristocratic democrat You have been elected to ths office you at preeenthold , in the Executive department , by a majority of tbe National Chartar Association . You know , also , that your recent conduct , us a public man , haa been dh-ectly opposed to tbe general policy of the Association , and I hold it as au opinion that the A . sscciation to which you belong maintains au authority and influence over every public act of its officers ; and you have , in the most direct and flagrant manner , ieb « Ued against such influence , with no other view than to injure the cause you have bithei to professed to espouse . The working class suspectybu of treachery to the principles they contend for ; you deny the justice of these accusations without condescending to offer any reasonable and honest defence .
Had you pursued a straightforward , even course , your efforts in the cause of political and social emancipation would have been gratefully apptaciabd aad responded to by every right thinking Cbavtist in Britain ; instead of which they denounce you * and the working men -will cast off eveTy leader ¦ whose public acts will not stand the test of scrutiny . You ridicule tl « . e idea of a man thinking himself unworthy ; but you have not even attempted to prove a single allegation contained in the Nottingham resolution as false ; your silence on the obarges preferred against you by the CHartists of almost every town in the empire , is tantitnount to guilty .
it can be no pleasure to auy body of men to surround their fellow man with suspicions , . much less One "who has hitherto laboured hard to gain them freedom ; then why are you so waspish and ill-natured with , those who have hitherto supported and applauded you ? Are you still faithful to them' ?—prove it , and I will be the first man to tender you the right hand of fellowship ; but I never can consent to compromise one icta of . the Six Points of the People ' s Charter , neither ¦ will I ever act wish men who would congest to mix up any other question-wiih the Gbartist agitation .

THE MANCHESTER OUTRAGE . TO THE ED 1 TQR OF THE NORTHERN STAR ,
DEAR Snt , —I fc » l I Bhall not be discharging my duty to the Imperial Cbartista if 1 further delay making , through the medium of the Star , my grateful Bcknewledgments for the sincere expressions of sympathy and the public vote of thanks from tbe numerous associations throughout England , and which have been echoed back again even from the city of Dublin . . ; To make guch acknowledgment toany one association in particular woald appear invidious ; I therefore respectfully beg to assure them all that I have only two marks , one on my nose and'the other on iny lip ; and for the sake of the people ' s came I haire more xeason to glory in them than to be asbamed . I am eonvtoced tbat the assault has made , and will make , thousands of converts to the principles of the Charter ; and it has given such an impetus to il that , like the rolling of »
vastavalaiich © , nopower can retard . ; Mr . O'Connor freely forgives them : it is well . But I am taught by the Qospel of Jesus to see the fruits of repentance before they are entitled to forgiveness . And this is the evidence I ^ requirej namely , ^ ^ that they become members of the chartist Association , and help us to obtain the Charter—then J can forgive , and call them brethren . I also tbink - my request is not an unreasonable one : it would ba something in the way of atonement ; for I never witnessed such an unprovoked attack , and never wish to see such a one again . It is only an act of justice , from all lean learn , to say that the anti-Corn Law League , as such , had not anything to do with it . Howfar theperpetrators of the violence calculated on their . countenance and approbation , I cannot say .

MR . O'BRIEN IN EDINBURGH . TO THE EOIT 6 U OF THE NORTHEItN STAB . SlB . —I perceive that Mjt . H . Ranken , yrho'was Ghairman of the last meeting that Mr . O'Brien attended in ' -this city , has written you to correct certain alleged . mia-statemehts , in the notice I sent you of that meeting . Mr . R . denies that tliero were , as stated in the report , three yotas taken . I deny that any suijh thin ^ f is stated in ths report . If Mr . R . takes the trouble to road it over again , he will fiwd tkat the first two allusions to a show of hands ; refer to one and the same . Mr . It ' s , style of Englifh is a peculiar one , if he concludes that three different allu 9 ions to a show of hands iu an article , must mean three different and distinct show of hands , he ; might , with equal Bafety , on this principle ^ come to the concJusion that more than thi'ee Chairmen presided over themeetiii ^ j and that at least , half-a-dozin of the name of 6 'Brieti addressed it !
It is quite possible I may have mistaKen the wording of t \ s motion put . The Chai'man ought certainly to know this better than a mere spectator . Although , from my impressious being rectxit , and Mr ; R . ' s ' at least a fortnight old , the difference is in this case , little or nothiug . Be that as it may , and gran ting , for argument ' s sake , that the vote was taken precisely as Mr . R . says , nothing is more manifest than , that the point matters not a single pin ' s head one way or toother \ The sentiments of the meeting is , the real thing to be attended to , while the mere manner of testing it is of iio earthly moment . Had I written in such a way as to lead the reader to conclude that the meeting were less friendly disposed to Mr ; Duncan's views than
they really werej then Mr . Rankeri might have some cause to come forward and do "justice to all parties . " But ^ when the real truth was ( aaMrv Ranken has not denied , and as he cannot deny ) that Mr . Duncan ' s views met" with no support at all from the meeting , and that all present , so far as a spectator could see ( with the exception of Mr . D .: himself ) , were in favour of Afr , O'Brien ' s viewa , what a farce it is for aiiy person to come forward •• ' in justice to all parties , " an 4 dispute the manner of taking ike vote ! If Mr . Charles Duncan or Mr . Ranken can produce a single dozen of the many hundreds present who thought Mr . D . right and Mr . O'B . wrongj they will certainty achieve more than I can believe them capable of . If noti the reader will duly estimate the force of the " mis-statement . "
The other " mis" -statment is that I spoke of a certain part of ^ Mr- C . Dunckn ' s views , aa being to the effect that " an aristocracy and moneyofraoy were essential to a state . '' Mr ; Rsnken declares his belief that Mr . Duncan ' s statement was not to that effect—my belief is that it was . Fprtunately , however , ( since the subject matter of discneeion was Mr . D ' s letter , ) any reader who chooses to turn to it in the Star , and who can see his way through H , may satisfy himself as to whetiier Mr . Ranken-a belief or mine be the correct dne ; . V I Bee no other mis-statement eveH alleged , and trusting this will satisfy Mr . Ranken , : ' -, . ' ; ' ¦ "• "• " . I remain , -. . ¦; . .. ¦ ' . ' Yours obediently , The Writer of the Repqkt . Edinburgh . March , 28 , 1842 .
P ^ S . —Having odntradicted Mr , Ranken ' s statements in no particular , but where the truth can be seen by referring to your own paper , I see no good end to ^ be served by giving my name , otherwise I should have done so .

BABTLETT v . VINCENT , PHXLP , ROBERTS , AND WILLIAMS [ OF SUNDEBLAND ; . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Allow ine , through the medium of your paper , to do an act of justice to a young man at present in your employ as reporter , Mr . G . Bartlctt , who has had to bear the brunt of tbe talented charges of three of the above-named individuuls ; and , last week , the somewhat superfluous and mean insinuation of Mr . J . Williams , who eaith be " prefers to believe Messrs . Vincent and Pbilp because ha knows them , and tbe country knows them , and not Mr . Bartlett . ?'
Now I am not aware that bis or the cORntry ' s liUOWing any individual -will mate or keep thtm ttonast or consistent ; and I beg to say that I know Mr . Bait ' . ett , have known him sonae years , have laboured with him in the good cause ; Ue people of Bath know him , if the country does not ; but he is nevertbeiess honest , for not having the good fortune to have travelled through the country as a lecturer , and therefore not receiving a country 'a praise . : .: I would now state what I now can call to memory of Mr . Bartletfc , for the information of Mr . W . and jour readers generally : — The two Bartietts , George and Samuel , have done inach to servo the couso of Chartism , in Bath , and Trowbridge , frosa its first manifestation . They joiued the Bath Working Men ' s Association at a vary unpropitioustime . • '• ¦¦ ' .. • ' . .
Just as Roebuck and Palmer were ousted from the representation of the city , the people were excited by their defeat ; I could get none among us to come boldly forth to call a ttublic meeting , and address ttie public upon ou » j > r ' mcipl « s . The middle class had destroyed the old Union , and deserted the cause cf Radical Reform , and were desirous of doing away , as now , with tho very name ; by them was the Liberal Association formed ; the Bartletta were alike eager to extend' our views , and increase our Association . We succeeded in getting tue use of a room at the Temperance Coffee
Houae , Saw Close . Qaorge Bartlett , your reporter , drew up our first address ; it was , after being adopted , printed as a placard , and circulated . Numbers flocked to oar robins . Here Qeorge and bis biotber signalised Iheiuselves in advocating our principles , which be hath not ceased to do at alraoBt every meeting held since . This ia much trom sit ignorant young man . Ha is also the persbn . who wrote in ih 6 old J ^ iTtdicUtor , nnder the title of Publicola . if services are to be the test of honesty here you haVe them , and I gee not wherefore local services should be despised because they were not more extended . ¦
I have often heard Mr . Bolwell , the obatrman ' at . 'the . meeting to consider Sturge ' a motion , state that Bartlett had taught him politics ; and Indeed if you refer to his Iett « rs , or speeches , you wilt not find them inferior in general information , or argument , to Mr . Philps . True , he has not lungs sufficiently strong to make himself heard far in large nieetinga , a natural quality that the other gentleaian may be . able to boast of . . So much for Mr : Pliilps ' a inslhnatioa of ignorance ; but of the charge , of not honestly reporting these gentlemen ' s words ,: Mr . Manriotti of Briatol , sayB at the meeting it was true in spirit though perhaps not the exact words , and in what Mr . V ., P-, and R . ; write , they confirm the fact , of true in spirit . They admit they supported Sturge ' a motion , and this is Henry Vincent who hr . t-i continually , at public meetings , and in kis
old Vindicator , been tellin g ^ ^ us with words of fire , to stand by our . Charter , ' , not turn to the right hand nor to the left , not to go after Educational Suffrage , ^ Household SuiSxage , or anything but the Caarter . This is be ¦ who hath HO oft and ekqueiitly ridiculed Daniel OConne 1 ' s instalhhent-get-what-you-can system , yet will go for Mr . Sturgo ' a installment , indefinite , complete humbug without details , as a great way towards the Charter . Verily he is another Daniel come to jud ^ Hienfe !
