PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR . —ASSERTION JOF 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 of making a public subscription for the relief of the poor of the town , the meeting being called by . the Cutlers' Company , the Town Trustees , and Churoh 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 same . 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 . John M'Lean . Senior , Master of the Wesleyan College ; — Fisher , Esq ., & . c , &c , &o . On the motion of T . A . Ward , Esq ., the Mp tcr Cutler was called to the chair . The Chairman read the placard calling the nr Hing ; and , after a few common-place observations , made wav for
Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., who moved the first resolution , which was in substance ' . to . the effict —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 supeifluities 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 . Momgomery seconded the resolution . This was a day the Lord had made . His prayer was that the infant Prince might become the most illustrious of monarchs . ( Laughter ) The speaker went on to say 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 peoplo , tie shall Bare the chi-dren 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 Jrd resolution , which simply named the committee . Ho gave £ 2 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 . ) It' 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 tbs toiling people of this land are absolutely famishing and perishing of hunger—such a time he considered no time to rejVice at the birth of anew 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 , Ttas 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 tbe the midst of the confusion , M'Lean exclaimed , ** We have not come here to hear the principles of— " the termination of the sentence was loBt amidst the fearful volley of groans that greeted his interference . The Btorm hayiDg lulled for a sioment . The Rev . T . Best with great pomposity , asked Mr . Barker if he thought they would sit . there to hear the Government and state insulted ? ( Groans . ) Mr . Barker 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 , ihe 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 touk 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 ahilliug ' a worth back of the plunder they took from them . ( Cheers . ) The Vicar had dwelt largely upon the virtues of Edward the 6 tb , 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 the habit of hearing . What was the use , be would ask , ot what service to the state , was a Queen Victoria , a Prince Albert , or their two infants ? ( 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 mouarchs and aristocrats in by-gone days ; comiDg 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 . Barker 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 . Harnet who was loudly cheered on coining forward , said , he too regretted the retreat of the black-coated loyali .-te—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 wae plundered of 15 a . 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 , ud 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 Duoh ss of Kent , one thousand , seven hundred and fifty-three shilling loaves ; the head of the Christian Church , his Gtace , the Archbishop of Canterbury , swallowed one thousand and fifty shilling loaves per day ; while so capacious was the stomach of her Maifcty v 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 ; the people were bent upon having their rights—the people were no longer to be gulled by the pretended charity of those plunderers—it was not charity they wanted , it was justice ; and that justice they were determined / to obtain ; they had set their hands to the plough , and would not turn back ; no they w < re resolved , des- ^ pite Whig humbug , and Tory cajolery , to make the Charter the law of the land ; ( Great cheering ) Whatever difference might exist among themselvepj b&ppy w * 8 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 . ' - - . ¦ ' . . / . " ¦'¦' . - . - : ' ¦ ¦ ¦ . . , ' ^ . ; ' ; ¦' :. ¦ Thanks having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved .

BRIGHTON . —The work goes ou bravely ; accounts of the most pleasipg 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 chriateniug of the Prince of Wales . Things went on in true aristocratic style 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 .

HUDDEBSFIELD- —Daring Robbery . — - Last week a small butcher ' s shop , adjoining the Dog Inn , Kirkgate , was ; forcibly opened , and one half of a sheep taken therefrom . Several auspicious oharacters were Been lurking about the place early in tho evening ; yet , no one thought they were intending to commit an outrage in so public » 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 was 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 stolen from a locksmith ; also a pistol and a quantity of lucifer matches . They were brought before the magistrates on Saturday , and committed to Wakefield for trial .
BRIGHTON . —Wno Stopped the Clock IThe good people of Brighton have recently been amused by an affair of no very creditable character to theil reverend Vicar and his tools , the churchvyardens . Some three months sinci ? , a ' vestry meeting of the inhabitants was held to pass the accounts of the churchwardens ; but the vestry , finding that ihc accounts were kept in a most slovenly manner- ^ finding that but of rates collected for the repairs Of the church a sum of £ 20 was charged for grog and , findinsr , on further investigating the accounts that some seven or eight hundred pounds were unaccounted for , the meeting adopted without one dissentient voice strong and detemined resolutions not to pass tho accounts . Matters did not end here .
Tre churph wardens , backed by the Vicar j called another vestry meeting , to pass the accounts , and 13 make another church rate . The parish were up in arms . Polling of the rate-payers was carried on for three days for and against passing the accotints , and for and against making i ) ny f urther 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 det ^ rmiheid to be revenged onthe parish , and to do that they hit upon the scheme of stopping the parish clock of St . Peters . Soon were they met by cries both far and near of * " Who stopped the clock J" This cry has gone through the parish tor these two months past , and last week ic
was brought to an issue , by this very reverend lowly follower of Jeeus , this charitable Vicar , haying been brought before a Court of Magistrates for horsewhippiu « a child seven years of age . "It , appears that as the Reverend Vicar was passing pa horseback , the cry was raised by some one in the street . " Who stopped the clock j" This had fcuch 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 ont , " Who stopped the clock ¥ ' and 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 > he 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 the the crowd . But herein he seems to have made a , mistako , for if he had not speedily mounted his horse , the people who had congregated together would have inflicted summary punishment 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 themagistrates , who grauted a summons , after a great dealuf reluctance , against the Kev . Gentleman , i which came on for hearing on Thursday , J ' aii . 20 ch , at the Town Hall , Brighton ; and after examination and cross-examination , with the assistance of two of the big wig tribe to boot , the very Roverend Gentleman was convicted , and fined iOi . and costs . Such is the end of the clock
tale , but not the end of the vicar ; ior , 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 timo he had to fly , followed by the crowd , shouting their war cry , " Who stopped the clock I " mud flying in all directions , the steam was up , when luckily for the vicar , a policeman appeared , the crowd dispersed ; the ' blue bottle' vanished : again they came up with the Rev . Gentleman , and again they ; raised their cry , " Who stopped the clock ?" The vicar made a boh 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 exiats-Hto
calm a little the disturbed waters of Brighton ; and a regular " nor-wester" blew on ?< Ionday aight , in celebration of the christening of the youi / g Priiice , decided to " set the clock agoing" andI oil : Tuesday morning the people of Brighton were gratified again to hear the sound of that clock , oil 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 bounds to which they may play with the feelings of neighbours friends—that the pit they dig for others they may fall into themselves . The parish has triumphed over the toadies of an overbearing priest ;/ and we urge on the rate-payers to be prepared for a great moral contest at fcaater next , when they may , if they choose , appoint officers of their parisn who will treat the opinions of the rate-payers with deference and respect , and prove that they are servants aud not masters of the parish .

Star Office ^ day 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 . Martin ' s Church , whiohwas followed by a general rush to doors and windows . Upon enquiring the cause , I learned that the Lord Mayor and " Council were on their v ? 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 our . ¦ ' ¦ Heaven-born Minister , " and by which all the naked were to be clad and all the hungry fed .
Well , I ran out just to see the pomp which thus mocked honest poverty and pandered to monarchy , and siich a set of carriages I never saw , some gingerbread , some very handsome , and the pick and choice of all the stands , and euch a set of tallowfaced idlers as they contained no mortal eye ever beheld—the outpouring of the Stock Exchangethe svFarmiug of the lice on the poor / beetle ' s back ; but what was most strange of all waSj that a policeman held the handle of each carriage , and in order to give a good MORAL effect to the pageant , the whole tribe of blue-bottles was picked , for certainly I never saw so many men above six feet high together , coming from the working classes . They formed a great contrast for colour , stature , bone , and sinew , watu compared with the idle sedentaries inside :

I wish : the Glasgow bigois had heard the cheers which followed the three lines and A word about the Repeal , for it was all read .

I was at Leicester on Monday , and thanks to that little great fellow Cooper , my eyes were regaled with such a prooession as I never had anticipated in the Midland counties .

Little or no variation has taken place in the ¦ value of either

SHEFPXEIiD . ( From our own Correspondent . } Mr . Dean Taylor . —This talented advocate of Chartism visited Sheffield , agreeable to invitation , on Sunday last , and preaonea 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 , but in the evening the room was crowded to excess . Home Colonization . —On Sunday evening 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 Short Time Daputition , whioh appeared in the Sheffield Independent , of Saturday , the 15 th day of January . After administering a caustic dose to this miserable organ 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 subjeota 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 . Chartist Lecture . —Mr . Dean Taylor delivered a lecture on Chartism , in the Chartist Room , Figtree-lane , on Monday evening .
