      Thb early hoar at which we are obliged to go to press with our first edition , to enable us to get the Scotch papers to the respective agents on Saturday morning , will prevent us from giving the Queen 8 speech in that edtion . We have to print on Thursday night , about the time the Queen will be engaged in reading the M inisterial leason . Were we to wait till a report of the sayings and doings arrived at Leeds , we should miss the Scotch posts ,

      and our readers in that quarter would not reoeive their papers till Monday morning . We regret thi 3 ; but have no alternative . Had we the ordering and timing of the mails , we fancy we could manage to get to Glasgow in something less than a day and a half . This , however , does not come within our province ; and we are obliged to submit to the arrangements of others . Of course , we shall insert the proceedings connected with this opening of Parliament" in our second and subsequent editions .

      XiE&pS . Odotellowship . —Da . Hook .. —It will be in the recollection of many of our readers , that in November last , the Rev . Dr . Hook was solicited by the members of the Leeds district of Independent Order of Odd Fellows , to preach a sermon in behalf of the General Infirmary and Dispensary . He wilh ' ngly consented , appropriating the church for the admission of Oddfellows' only , when a collection was made for the above object , amotmtuss 10 nearly £ 70 . So favourably impressed

      was the Rev . Doctor with the principles which govern and the motives which actuate this influential body , by pernsing the rules , magazines , reports , fcc ., that on Monday evening last , he was duly initiated & member of this Society , at one of the largest lodges in Leeds , held at the Brown Cow Inn , Meadow-lane . The number of members enrolled in this order in England , is about 200 , 000 , amongst which are upwards of 40 Members of Parliament , and numerous Clergymen and Dissenting ministers of every persuasion . The order is equally flourishing in America .

      Leeds Improvement Commissioners . —An adjourned special meeting of this body was held on Wednesday last , at which were present Justices Nell , Grace , Clapham , Hebden , Smith , and Stansfeld ; and Messrs . Hartley , Hobson , Ardill , Horatio Wood , Holroyd , Woodhead , Otley , Dufton , Wilks , Pickard , Sellers , aud King . The only busiuess of public importance was the presentation of a report from a select committee appointed to inquire into the steps takru by the late Board of Commissioners , in conjunction with the Magistrates acd Town Council , in respect to a now Improvement Bill , the expenses incurred , the position of the newly elected Commissioners with respect 10 the same , and their power of expending the monies which accrue to

      them as Commissioners for any such purpose . Ihe Committee , through their Chairman , gave in a lengthened and excellent report , in ¦ which they went to the root of the matter , and plainly showed that the Commissioners had no right to expend one single penny of the funds coming into their feands as Commissioners , for any other purpose than , those specifically set forth and named in the Act . After the report had been formaly received , and the Committee thanked for their able labours , the meeting was adjourned till four o ' clock on Friday afternoon , to consider the 6 ame . Of course , it is impo 3 ssible to judge what the decision of the Board may be upon this matter , but we opine that if they take any other course than that pointed out and recocnm ? nded by the comnv . tte « , they will

      place themselves in the wrong . Bills to the amount of upwards of £ 500 , have already been delivered in to the n w commissioners by solicitors andsurTeyors for eerviceB connected wi ? h the preparation of the new bill . These parties acted under orders given by the old Board of Commissioners , and if the law be such as is set forth in tho report above named , these expences au = 4 devolve individually upon thosa who incurred them . Several o ^ the old commissioners complain very loudly of the amount of tha bills , and represent that several of the professional men employed were thrust upon them , as it were , by other parties , on the understanding that their services might be had for a mere bagatelle . It turned out , however , that more than £ 500 were charged for less than sixty davs' work .

      Picking Pockets . On Monday last , John Turner , a travelling conveyancer , vrho said became from Shfcffield in cearch of employment , was charged before the magistrates at the Court Hou 3 e , with having picked the pocket ef Mrs . Isabella Sands , of St . James's-street , " of a purso containing two halfcrowns , eleven shillings , and two sixpences . Mr ? . Sands stated that on Saturday evening , she left her house to make markets , and whilst looking at some rabbit 3 at the top of Kirkgate , sho felt somebody at her pocket ; she turned round , whea the prisoner was

      just drawing her purse with which he made off . She gave an alarm , and he was seen to throw the purse away , and being pursued was apprehended by a policeman who was near . The purse , with its contents , was found all safe . He wished to make it out that there must be some mistake , but unfortunately for him , the knowledge in possession of the police respectiag him , rendered it very difficult for him ti establish anything like a character for jhonesty ; and he was committed to take his trial .

      . Dari . \ g Highwat RoBBERY . —On Thursday evoning week , a little before ten o ' clock , a most daring highway robbery , accompanied by violence , was committed on the Burley road , near this town . At the time above stated , Mr . William Thackray , an aged man , who besides in Burley Terrace , was returning home , after attending a meeting at Oxford Place Chapel ; he had arrived within two hundred yard 3 of his own bouse , and was walking in the middle of tha road , when he was suddenly met by a man who knocked him down , and he fell with such terrible violence on his head as to render him totally insensible , and unconscious of any subseqnent proceedings towards him . He reached home some Ehort time after , but it was neariy

      twelve o ' clock before be so far regained his consciousness as to be aware of his real situation . His watch fob , which was turned out , attracted the attention of his daughter , who at fir .-= t thought that he had had & fit , and by degrees the poor old man was able to remember the manner in which he had been knocked down . He then discovered that in addition to his watch , he had been robbed of a pair of silver spectacles and case , a sovereign , 8 s . 6 d . in silver , his kejs , pencil , &c . He is nnabie to gain any description of the party who attacked him ; two men were apprehended on suspicion , but when they were before the magistrates , oh Monday , there was no evidesce to connect them with the robbery , furiher than tfeat they were seen within half a mile of the place on the same night , they were consequently discharged .

      PUBLIC MEETING FOB THE RELIEF OF THE POOR . —ASSERTION { OF 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 " tbe Cutlers' Company , the Town Trustees , and Church 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 tbo Banie . Tuesday arrived , and instead of one thousand , some three or four thousrad applicants thronged the

      Untitled Article

      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 Wesieyan College ; — Fisher , Esq ., Jto ., & . O ., &c . On the motion of T . A . Ward , Esq ., the Master Cutler was called to the chair .

      The Chairman read the placard calling the meeting ; and , after a few common-place observations , made way for Thomas Aslinb Ward , Esq ., who moved the first resolution , which was in substance to the effect —That , instead of the usual rejoicings , a public subscription be entered into for tiie 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 ia the town , and dwelling upon the propriety of the course recommended . Far better was it that tho rich should give up some of their superfluities for the benefit of their poorer brethren , 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 . Tbe 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 Mb predecessor Edward the Sixth . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Mostgomert seconded the resolution . This

      was a day tho Lord had made . His prayer was that the infant Prince might become the most illustrious ofmonarehs . ( 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 of the people , he Khali save the children 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 3 rd resolution , which simply named the committee . He gave £ 3 as the contribution of his scholars , and favoured the meeting with a Bhort 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 . ) If there was any mode wore unexceptionable than another , by which to celebrate the birth of a prince , he considered tho mode adopte . i to-day was that one : still he must question the propriety of at all celebrating such event in the present state of tho country , when thousands of tho toiling people of this land are absolutely famishing and perishing of hunger—such a time he considered no time to rejoice as the b . rth of anew burden . ( Great uproar from the parsons and loud cheers from the people . ) A scene of confusion now ensued , several of the black-coats , " rising to order . " Mr . Barker , however , wa ? uct to bo put down and endeavoured to continue his address—the parsons stamped and shouted , the people by turns groanec the parsons and cheered Mr . Barker .

      In the the midst of the confusion , M'Lean exclaimed , " We have not come here to hear the principles of—" the termination of the sentence was lost amidst the fearful volley of groans that greeted his interference . The storm having lulled for a moment . The Rev . T . Best with great pomposity , asked Mr . Barker if he thought they would sit there to hear theGovernment and state insulted ! ( Groans . ) Mr . Barke * B » id 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 , tho parsons , and the greater part of the *• respectables" made a hasty retreat , followed by a tremendous storm of groans aud hisses . Crie 3 of a chairman" now resounded through the hall , and Mr . Otlcy was called to the chair , which he took amidst the cheers of the meeting . Mr . Otley said when he entered the hall that day ho had no thought he would ba called upr . n 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 mockery it was for tho parties who called this meeting to profess charity , aud show it by giving the people a shilling ' s worth back of the plunder they took from them . ( Cheers . ) Tho Vicar had dwelt largely apon the virtues of Edward the 6 th , he forgot to narrate the hideous vices of those monbierti of iniquity , Henry the 8 : b , and George the 4-h .

      After some other remarks , Mr . Otlcy made way fur Mr . Barker , who resumed ; he regretted the flight of the parsons a » d gentlemen , because he wished to have told them a few truths they are not in the habit of hearing . What was tbe use , he wonld ask , of what service to the state , was a Queen Victoria , ^ Prince Albert , or their two infants ! ( Cheerg . ) True the Prince had laid the first stone of tlie 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 tho doings of our monatchs and aristocrats in by-gone days ; coming 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 ia the opinion of this meeting ^ that tho best way to honour the Prince is by relioving the wants of the people , yet they will not see principle sacrificed under any pretence of charity , nor sanction the acts of her Majesty or her Ministers until tho wroDgs of the people are redressed , and the franchise extended to the wholo of the male adult population . " Mr . Gill , in a few remarks , seconded the resolution . Mr . Harnet who was loudly cheered on coming forward , said , he too regretted tho retreat of the black-coated loyali-ts—what a farce was it to be giving a shilling ioaf to a thousand of the poor and destitute , while these Barae poor had been robbed of

      three-fourths of the wealth produced Dy them every year of their existence that they had laboured ; out of every pound produced by tho working man , it had been shown that lie was plundered of lis . 6 d . ; what hvpocrisy then was it to come before the people and makings parade of their benevolence give to some of the most destitute a paltry Is . iu the shape of a loaf . He would just show them how many shilling loaves were swailowed per day by a few of the royal and other cormorants of the state : —Our most gracious Queen appropriated to her own use per da « £ 164 7 s lOd ; that iB , she swallowed every day nearly three thousand , two hundred , and eighty-eight shilling loaves per day ; prince Albert swallowed two thousand and e : giity-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 Duch ss of Kent , one thousand , seven hundred and fifty-three shilling loaves ; the head of the Christian Church , his Grace , the Archbishop of Canterbury , swallowed one thousand and fifty shilling loaves per day ; while so capacious was the stomach of her Majecty , Queen Adelaide , that she swallowed five thousand , four hundred , and eighty shilling loaves per day . ( Roar 3 of laughter . ) But the present accursed system was fast coming to a close .

      ( Cheers . ) One word of warning itu would whisper in the ears of the loyalists ; the people were bent upon haying 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 turnback ; no , they w ^ re resolved , despite Whig humbug , and Tory cajolery , to make the Charter the law of the land . ( Great cheering ) Whatever difference might exist among themselves , happy was ho 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 goos on bravely ; accounts of the most pleasing nature are daily being received . Chichester haa at length come out , and most maufully . A meeting was recently called to consider the best way of celebrating the christening of the Prince of Wales , Things went on in true aristocratic stylo 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 them " 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 . Freelaad steward to the D » ke of Richmond , dissolved the meeting . The working men gave three hearty cheerB for Mr . Gray , which were repeated again for the Ch rter , and quietly dispersed to their homes .

      HUDD £ 3 BSFIEU > . —Daring Robbert . — Last week a small butcher ' s shop , adjoining the Dog Inn , Kirkgate , was forcibly opened , and one half of a sheep taken therefrom . Several snapioioua characters were seen lurking about the place early ia the evening ; yet , no one thought they were intending to commit an outrage in so public a thoronghfare ; 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 war lying under a wall , near to the canal , inolining to Polly 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 , bat 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 .

      BBIGBTON . —^ Who Stoppbj > the Cloche!—The good people of Brighton have recently been amused by an affair of no very creditable character to their reverend Yicar and his tools , the churchwardens . Some three months since , a vestry meeting of the inhabitants was held to pass the accounts of the church wardens ; but the vestry , finding that : the accounts were kept in a most slovenly mannerfinding that out of rates collected for the repairs of the ohurch a sum of £ 20 was charged for grog and . fiadintr , on further investigating the accounts that some seven or eight hundred pounds were unaccounted for , the meeting adopted without one disBentienc voice strong and detemined resolutions not to pass the accounts . Matters did not end here .

      Tre churchwardens , backed by the Vicar , called another vestry meeting , to pass the accounts , and to make another church rate . The parish were up in arms . Polling of the raterpayers was carried on for three dayB for and against passing the accounts , and for and against making any further 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 determined to be revenged oh the 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 hear of " Who stopped the clock ! " This cry has gone through the parish for these two months past , and last week it

      was brought to an issue , by this very reverend lowly follower of Jesus , this charitable "Vicar , having been brought before a Court of Magistrates for horyewhipping a child seven years of age . It appears that as the Reverend Vicar was passing on horseback , the cry was raised by some one in the street . " Who stopped the clock i" Thishadsuch 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 out , "Who stopped the clock ? " arid ran off home : The Vicar pursues this child home , dismounts from his horsey bursts open the door of a room in which the little boy had fastened himself , and then in the presence of the child ' s mother , who

      was completely frightened , with his riding whipi cut the poor little fellow over face and eyes , by repeated blows . Not content , ; be took the child to the door to show tha the crowd ; But herein he seems to have made a mistake , 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 father came home he took him to the vicarage , but was denied admittance ; he then appealed to themagistrates , who granted a summons , afsera great deal of reluctance , against the Rev . Gentlemau , which came on for hearing on Thursday , Jan , 20 th , at the Town Hall , Brightpn ; and after examinauon and cross-examinatien , with the assistance of two of the big wig tribe to boot ,

      the very Reverend Gentleman was convicted , and fined 40 s . and costs . Such is the end of the clock tale , but not the end of the vicar ; for , on Sunday afternpon , after preaching at St . Peter's , in passing homewards through Regent-street , he was unfortunately recognised—a crowd collected— -tho cry was again raised , "Who stopped the clock ?" This time he had to ly , followed by the crowd , shouting their war cry , " Who stopped the clock ?" mud flying in all directions , the stu-am 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 bolt 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 exists—to calm a little tho disturbed waters of Brighton ; and a regular " nor-weater" blew on Mondaynight , in celebration of the christening of the youug Pr-nce , decided to , " ' set the clock agoing , ^ and on Tuesday morning the people of Brighton were gratified again to hear the sound of that clock , on which So much of their jnoney had been expended . A lesson , we trust , has been taught to Vicars and ignorant conceited ChurchwarcieD , that there are bounds to which they may play with the feelings of neighbours friends—that the pit they dig for others they may rail 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 Kiaster nfext , when thtiy may , if they choose , appoint oificer 8 of their parisn who willtreatthe opinions of the rate-payers with deference and respe ' et , and prove that they are servants and not masters of the parish .

      Hull Corn Mabkbt , Tuesday , Feb . h—The same dullness—the same want of demand that we have had to report so many previous weeks , continued to hang over the corn trade , indeed so trifling have been the business transactions during the past week , that the quotations ' may be considered 03 almost nominal . There is a total absence of speculation , aud the consumptive demand for wheat here is confined to so narrow a compass , that it is fully met by the weekly supply from the farmers round this neighbourhood ; t&esame remarks apply to all spring corn ^ In bonded grain nothing doing ;

      The market to-day has been fairly supplied with farmers' wheat , the beat dry samples of which were taken by tho millers at fully last week ' s price ? , any description below this quality bad to qnit ; a many of the samples ofFering are only in middling condition , owing to the change in the weather , tne frost having again disappeared . For old foreign no demand . There is a good supply of oats to-day , for which last week ' s prices are paid . In beaiis or peas no alteration in value or demaud . The best runs of malting barley are rather dearer , and are offered plentifully ; second and grinding are very dull , although low prices are submitted to .

There have been good imports of , foreign Wneat , but those of other articles were of trifling extent . Since this day ; week , tho weather has been very variable , rain , snow , frost , and thaw , ; accompanied with gales Of wind , but now ifc is more moderate and mild for the season . Although the supply of English Wheat was ; so limited , yet the trade was very dull , and

      only the best dry inferior parcels must be quoted rather cheaper again . The business transacted in Foreign Wheat was of a retail nature , without any material ; change in the value of this description . The Flour trade was dull , and good marks ex-ship purchaseable on lower terms . Fine -Malting Barley realised the rate 3 of last Monday , and such met a fair demand , but all other qualities were taken sloyvly , without , hovvover , any material variauon in price . Beans and Peas met-a limited sale , good samples ; cannot , however , be quoted lower . There was . a alow deoiaud . tor Oats , the largo dealers

      waiting for the expec . ed Irish supplies , for although these , the greater part of the season , have lost money ,. Still , from a fear that the article wili riot continue to be so weil protected with new as under the . present laws ^ they are disposed to abip freely , and it is reported maay are on passage for this port ; the demaad was therefore mostly confined to the consumers , who bought good English on easier terms , whilst Irish were 6 d to Is per quarter cheaper .

After administering a caustic dose to this miserable organ of fallen Whi" - gery , he proceeded to descant whh great force on machinery , its nature , use , aud 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 subjects 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 ehort discussion followed .

      Chartist Lecture . —Mr . Bean Taylor delivered a lecture on Chartism , in the Chartist Room , Figtree-lane , on Monday evening .
