BRADFORD . —Repobm Club . —On Friday evening this club held a meeting in the theatre of the Mechanics'Institute ; the members are said to number from 600 to 700 , but not more than fifty or sixty persons were present , including a number of Chartists . A chairman was elected , who stated that , the object of the committee in calling them together , was two-fold i first , to submit to their notice a printed circular which had been received from the Complete Suffrage Committee of Birmingham , inclosing a memorial to the Queen , praying her Majesty to cadi to her councils men who would use their influence to effect a full , free , and fair representation in the Commons' House of Parliament ; and , secondly , to take the sense of the meeting as to
who shall contest the borough of Bradford in the Liberal interest , in the event of another dissolution of Parliament . Mr . Nichoil , the secretary , stated that their funds were completely exhausted , and , therefore , he hoped every member would volunteer his gratuitous services t « canvass the town and suburbs for signatures to the memorial , and all those who , from a sense of duty and l » ve of jmt ce , might feel disposed to do so , would be so kind as to hold up their hands ; when , to their astonishment , only six hands were held up . The Chairmau said , he thought they had mistakes the Secretary ' s motion , and called on them to hold up their hands again , when only five were held up . Mr . Kenyon , the treasurer , came forward , tad . after a plentiful supply of "Whig sophistry , requested a third show of nands ; when , to his great gratification , he found that he bad made two converts ; seven hands beisg held up .
Here tae meeting was at a complete stand still , when Mr . Henry Hodgson , Chartist , rose and ably advocated and contended for tho whole Charter . Mr . Flinn , another Chartist , said this was not a fit and proper lims to test public opinion , and if the fifty persons , who were present at this meeting , selected any mau or men to represent the borough in the eveut of another election , they would thereby insult the people , aud lose the confidence of the electors ; for what concerned all , ought to be approved of by all ; he , therefore , moved , "That there be no candidates selected uktil tae Birmingham Convention closed its silting ^ , and that public opinion should be te ? t ; d by a public meeting convened for the purpose . " With regard to the memorial , he did noj Wish the people jo be hoodwinked . Mr . Illingworth , manU ' faeturer , moved as an amendment , "the meeting stand adjourned till after the 10 th of April , " which wa 3 carried , and the meeting adjourned .

Hobtoh . —A meeting of "Reformers" was held on Tuesday eTening , at the Queen ' s Arms , to consider the Starve Memorial . Messrs . Arran and Smith having beea invited , contended that the document was , in its present form , indefinite and unsatisfactory . S-.-eing this likely to hurt their " move , ' the Sturgites objected to tho right of these gentlemen to speak ; this being much easier than to ans-. ver their arguments . An altercation ensued , which ended in many persous desiring to have their names erased from the books of the * ' Reform Association . "
Littls Hobtos . —On Sunday afternoon last , Mr . Brook delivered an able lecture ia the Chartist ' s Room , at this place . In the evening Mr . G . Flinn also delivered an excellent lecture . Mr .

The office was crammed , and after a controversy between the official pleaders , which lasted several hours , J .

SINGLE'S " . —Brutal Assault . —On Saturday afternoon , an altercation took place between & man named Layceck , a publican at Bingley , and a . person in his employment named Hains . It seems that Hains was allowed a pint of ale forenoon and afternoon , and that on the day in question bis employer found him with a small stone bottle , containing a pint of porter , which he said he had obtained for his " 'lowance "—there being no ale on tap . Laycock susptcted that this porter was extra "'lowancc , " and " blew up , " saying that he would not 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 ita frightful blow on the temple , which foiled him bleeding and insensible to the ground . A surgeon was called in , and the man ' s wife was sent for from Leeds . He w <* s lying very ill with the wouud oa Monday .
ARMIiET . —Imposition ok Secret Obkers . — Daring 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 Anoient Forester ? . He represented himself as having a wife and four small children , by trade a cottoa twist { . acker for exportation , and formerly in the employ of Mr . Powley , of Manchester ; but , in consequence of the e ' estruotion of that manufactory by fire , a little before last Christmas , he was now so reduced as to reader him an object deserving the sympathy of his brotherhood . He had
documents , purporting tobosent from Court No . 112 , of Manchester , and met with that support which real distress deserves . It ha 3 , however , been ascertained that no such person ever belonged to the above Court , and that the documents of which he is in possession have been got up on purpose to qualify him for the imposition in which he has so well succeeded . He is abont forty years of age , and atauds about five feet five inches nigh , of light complexion , and slender : he had on a black frock coat , aud 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 Mary H&Uuro , at Mansfield , was executed on the new drop , in frost of the County Gaol , at Nottingham . I

VILLANY , BRUTALITY , AND HYPOCRISY EXPOSED AND CHASTISED . TO TjHB EDITOR OF IHB KORTHPRN 8 TAR . Sir , —Allow me through the medium of your invar Iuable paper , to lay befora your numerous readers and the public at large , a few facts connected with the outrageoua and brutal affair which took place at the Hall of Science , Camp-fleld , 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 0 , 'Connor , E * q . and the leaking Chavtists by a sat of ruffians , their principal leaders being Finigan , Daley , Duffey , &c . ( f Anti- Corn Law notoriety . >
Now , Sir , as I am aware that it is gettetally uaderstood that most of these men profess to belong to the Cathblie religion ; aa I know that some of their leaders have cf late been figuring : upon the Catholic platforms preaching up temperance , morality , and religion ; and as I am aware that the enemies of that religion , who arq alike the sworn enemies of all civil arid rdiigious libeiiy , would take adVitntage of tho circumstance aud endeavour to make the vrorld bulieVe that it is in consequence of their belonsing to that religion , and that they are led on by their priests ; and aa the Rpv Daniel Hearne , who js a countryman of theirs and likewise the president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society , tlj « in whom a moro
charitable , benevolent , and hoeral iuinded man d-j ^ a not exist , and who for his zi » l and exertions in the Temperancei cause his equal is not to bo found in Eagland , would come in for his ahare of the censure ; knowing alltbis , I considered it a duty' incumbent on me , in vindication of tho cfcariicter of that religion which I respect a » d venerate , aud in vindication of the character of the clergy , and parcicuiaily the . character of the Itev . Daniel Hfavne , whose just and impartial conductin this affair entitles him to the respect and esteem of gopd men , to lay betore your numerous readers and the public atlirge , the manner in which the guilty party * particularly the leaders , have been ttxposed , reprimaniiedi and denounced as enemies of their country and religion .
I will now lay the facts plainly . down-. just as thty have occurred to me , and leave a wise and just public to judge for tbeiriselyes . I was eye-witness to the whole affai * &t the Hall of Science . I saw the false statements cf a base and a hireling press . 1 knew that the guilty party would eudeavour to make their case clear . I therefore , took up my pen aud wrote a report of the whole disgractiful proceeding ^ and directed it to the Rev . Daniel Heiirne , resolved that the . real truth should' be iua < ie known to him upon my word and honour ,
that those were . t ! ie plain ; and simple facts , and that if Finigan , Daley , and the rest of these leaders wise not driven from the Catholic platfoims that- I would Hiect them wherever they should dare to appear ; arid expose them to the public at all risks ; and . Sir , to hi 8 eternal praise oe it made known , he did believe my plain and unvarnished statemouls upon the veracity of my word and honour , in deiiance of the lelii / ffliug statements of the guilty paity , and in defiance of the false statements of a base and a hireling press .
It would be Sunday rooming when be got my letter ; I atteh ^ ed th e Guild HiUl in the exauinsf , in -which the Temperance Socitty hold their meetings , of which the Rev . Daniel Hearne is the president , a room capable of holding upwards of a thousand people . It : was crowded , being the Sunday btfore St . Patriek ' s Day . Several persons having nddreBsed the meeting , the Cbairinan culled upon Mr . Daley , a well known advo ^ cate : of the temperance cause . . .. . Mr . Daley caine forward , and in his usual hypocritical style , appealed to his countrymen to come forward and join the ttiiuperancti cause , that they might sbow to the world that they were ornaments to their religion and to society ; that th « ry inight banish prejudice frobi the world ; hold out the riglitj hand of fellowship to every man , no uiatier what his religion , his politios , or his country alight be . ;
A respectable man in the body of the meeting called out , " Yes , like as yoii did in the Hall of Science on Tuesday night " , At length he sat down . About this titne Mr . Hearne eiitered the Hall , and ascended the platform . The first person he came to was p ^ iey . He immediately showed him the door . He then took his seat in the chair . On his left , next to him , sat Finigan , dressed iii his official robes belonging to the Holy Guild , which sopiety he has entered , no doubti B 3 "a cloak to coyer his vilhmy . To have seen him you would have thought he waB a saint , he siif . ' so mute , pulling a face as long as a fiildlo . The moinenli Mr . Hearnu saw him he ordered him off the platform . H « then came to vhe front of the plattorin , and in his usual poiiited and eJoquent style addressed , them to the following effect : —I am sick ; I am « omp etoly disheartened : You have given me enough this time to last me six month ? . Your base conduct in the Hall of
Science has brought Uisgraco upon me and all conivected with you . To think that I cannot go through tho streets aiid hold my head up , but must be compelied to hold rny head down through your conduct . 1 have had Statements from both parties . Pe 6 pla aj > i > 6 a . l to me to use my influence ; you completely dishearten me ; 1 am the head of this society ; and if you continue to disgrace yourselves in this manner , I will cut the head off , and the body and the tail may do as it will ; and I will leavy the town , for 1 am detennined not to be disgraced with you . Ho continued to address them In this style for soirie time ; and after administering the pledge to a number of piirsonSj , he left the platform . E . e went int 6 the committee room , and there made Finigan , ^ trip off his robes , and told him nevtr to attempt to put them on again until he proved by his conduct that he was worthy of them . He then left the hail , and 1 have beeiiiiiforiiied that he went into Little Ireland to another timpe . ance room , aud gave them a severe reprimand also .
Mr . Editor , allow me one or two wordB to those misguided men who have been led into this disgraceful affair by self-iiitarested men . Fellow slaves , when will you cut the leading strings , and begin £ o think aud act for yourselves ? When will you open your eys , that y « u may see your , real enemi «) 3 ? Remember tho tyrant ' s motto ; always is— -diviiie and conquer . He who would set you agiiinst your feiiowman , is your enemy , no matter what his name may be . Are you not , as working men , robbed of your hard earnings by the same wicked and unjust laws as we are ? Is your country not weighed down by the same unbeavabie Ierni of oppression and taxation that ours is ? Why do jou not come forward ami join with your fellow msn , who ate Btruggliug to remove these burdens ? .
O , yoii are told that the Chartists ate enemies to your country , and to your religion , and that they are leagued who the Tories . I , as a Gatnolic , and on behalf of thousands of my failow Catholics , who havo joined the Chartists , hurl back the i ' otil calumny in the teeth of anyone who should dare to make sucli false assertions . ,. "¦ .,. - ¦''•¦ ; ' : { . ¦¦ - ' /^ ..-: .-. : . ' :.. ' Good God !« ou"d we join with any party who were enemies to that religion whieh we respect and venerate , and particularly with the Tories , that we kno * ir are sworn enemies to all civil and religious liberty ? 0 . no , the thiDg is too absurd to bci ' Delieved by any sober or rtftticting mind , and the men whb make the statements know that they are false .
But you are told that OGonnor is your enemy . O let me implore of you to get his lectures that he delivered in the Hall of Science , Gall your fviends together , and let them be read ; banish prejudice from your minds ; listen patiently to every word they con ' taiu , and then judge for yourselves whether you think he is either an enemy to your country or your religion . If you will do thia , I pledge my word that you will curse yourselves that you did not listen patiently to hear him deliver them : : : ' ¦
My friends , what is it that O'Connor arid the Chartists are struggling for ? They are struggling to obtain those just and inalienable rights which belong equally to every man at ! bis birth ; but of which they have been : so , long Tobbed . They are struggling to get a power over the law , by which alone they will ever b ^ able to free themselves from the wicked and unjust system : which : ia crushing both you arid them to the earth .

CALAMITOUS EX ? LQStON OF A STEAM BOILER-SIXTEEN LIVES XOST . ^ ( From the Giasgow Courier of Tuesday . ) . The readers of our paper are aware that a fine fast sailing steamer , named the Telegraph , was lately biiilt for the river trade for the pur pose of competing with the railway . She has been plying for some time Jack , and being on the high pressure principle , has beat theSwiftest steamers in the passage to Greeuocb . Yesterday , about half-past twelve o ' clock , the people on the steam-boat < iuay ,, Greenook , heard a report as if a battery of cannon had been discharged at Heleusburgh (»¦ distarica of four miles ) . A smoke was seen to arise , and telescopes being procured , the explosion of the Telegraph was immediately discovered . Two of the tug steamers lying at Greenoct
quay , got the stoam up , and sailed for Helensburgh , to render whatever assistance they could . On arriving at Helensburgh they found that the Telegraph's boiler had exploded , and that the hull of the vessel was a total wrecks and literally floating away in pieces . It appears that the passengera for Helensburgh had all landed , and that the boat was about to proceed on her passage lip the Gairloch when the explosion took place ; Something connected ^ with the Jnaiiagement of the valves is supposed to have caused the accidenj . Since the above was : put in type , an acquaintance has furnished us with a few additional 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 bomb shell , and momentarily became , a total wreck-r-so much soj ' -that-not a single part of the vessel remained together afloat . In every direction could be observed , scattered about , the mutilated limbs of the unfortunate passengers , arid the water was 'literally tinged with their blood . The boiler in the explosion wag blown completely ashore , so as to convey to the spectator the idea of the disappearance of the stec-iner altogether . When our informant left , he saw fifteen bodies in the Tontine Hotel , HeWnsbnreh , which he recognised . Two of the painters' bodies had not been recovered ; At halfpast four , the steamer Royal Tar sailed f ; om Helensburgh with a number of the wounded on board . Qf these six were landed at Greenpck , where tlie Provost had a number of biers ready to remove the sufferers that arrived to the infirmary .
( Prom the Second Edition of tho Glasgow Chronicle . ) This , we regret to say , has been one of the most frightful catastrophes we have ever been called upoa to recbrd . The vessel itself , we learn , is literally shivered into spars , and the force of the explosion was so tremeridous that the engine was blown 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 ono vestige of humanity . — The list of the killed and wounded , so far as can yet be ascertained , is as follows : —
KiHcd—Captain Ewing , of the Telegraph ; W . Bannaiyne , engineer of ditto ; Mr . Hedderwick , of the firm of Hedcerwick and Rankine ; Mrs . How ot Greenock ; Miss Keith , sister t . » Mrs . How ; John M ' Diarmid , pilot ; —— M'iv ' air ; Robert ; M'Auslan , one of the crew ; Robert Cadeuhead , carpeiiter , Govan ; Peter M * Lintock and Thomas M'Qaeen , painters—bodies not found ; Daniel Sinclair , fireman ; a pilot , name unknown ; two men , supposed to be tailors—names not known ; James Johns'on , late of the Waterloo House , Greenock ; another man , name not known . .
WouiipED ^ Mrs . Keith , Grconock , much hurt , bat able to walk , mother of the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil , bruisedj Richard Anderson , foreman to Heddefwick and Rankine , dangerously wounded ; James Stenhouse , carpenter , severely wounded ; Miss M'Kellor , Greenock , huit , but not dangerously ; CtiarieiMQuarrey , painter , badly wounded ; Geo . Leek , ditto , leg broke in two places , and otherwise hurt ; Duga ? d Cameron , deck hand , slightly wonnded ; Duncan Kennedy , ditto ; Lauchian Cameron , severely wounded .
