LEEDS . —Stealing—On Monday morning last , a man named Thomas Fox , went into the honse of Mr . Gomersall , the Bee Hive Inn , in Vicar-lane , and walked off immediately with a glass whioh happened to be on the tabla . Ho waa followed and taken with it in his pocket . He was brought before the magistrates the same day , and committed for trial . Fike . —On Tuesday night last , a fire broke out in the premises occupied by Mr . Lascelles , oil refiner , ia Medley ' s-yard , Bowman lane . Four tons of Linseed oil were spoilt , and the roof . of the building was partly injured , but the flames were got under without the aid of the engines , although they weie in attendance .
HUSDEESFXEX . D .-MAGisxiura ' s Office . —There was great interest and anxiety displayed on Monday , before the Bench , in consequence of-Mr William Norton , fancy manufacturer , ( who reduced his workmen ' s wa # es a short timo ago , for whioh they turned out J being brought up by his men , who bad warps in their looms at the time such reductien was made , for refusing to supply them with weft to finisk the same at the old prices . The office was crammed , and after a controversy between the official pleadars , which lasted several hours , J . Sutcliffe Esq ., said he could not decide , and would therefore leave ic to arbitration—the men choosing one and Mr . Norton tho othi ^ r , and in case thsy disagree the magistrate to . appoint a third party as referee . :
BINGUDY . —Bhutal Assault . —On Saturday afternoon , an altercation took place between a man named Layceck , a publican at Bindley , and a person in his employment named Hains . it Beems that Hains was allowed a pint of ala foreaoon and afternoon , and that on the . in question his employer found him with a small stone bottle , containing a pint of porter , which he said he had obtained for his " 'lowunce" —there being no ale on tap . Laycock suspecied that this porter was extra '" lowance / ' and " blew up , " saying that he wonld not be robbed . This brought ai . igry words from the man , and , after much altercation , and the baudviag of many choice epithets , Laycock seized the bottle , and struck Hains with it a 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 was lying very ill with the wound on Monday . :
ARMLEV . —Imposition on Secret Ohders . — During tho 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 Ancient Forester ? . He represented himself as having a wife and four small children , by trade a cotton twist pauker for exportation , and formerly iu the empby of Mr . Fowley , of Manchester ; but , in con « -qu « ace of the instruction of that manufactory by fire , a little before last Christmas , be vras now 50 reduced a £ to reader him an objeot deserving the sympathy of his brotherhood . He had
documents , purporting tobe sont from Court No . 112 , of Manchester , and met with that support which real distress deserves . It has , however , been ascertained that no such person ever belon ^ dto the above Court , and that the documents of which he is in ' possession have beea got up on purpose to qualify him for the imposition in which he has so well succeeded . He is about forty years of age , and stands about five feet five inches high , of light complexion , and slender : he had on a black frock coat , and appeared quite respectable . Should this Mr . Crossley enter another Forest under such pretences , its inhabitants would do well to apprehend him as an
impostor . Execution .- On Tuesday morning , ^ at eight o ' clock , John Jones , who was convicted of the murder of Mary Halluro , at Mansfield , was executed on the new drop , in front of tho County Gaol , at Nottingham . ' .

JOURNAL OF MR . WEST . I think it my duty to inform my Chartist brethren of tbe progress of onr glorious principles in thiB agricultural district It is much to be lamented that we have not more lecturers in the agricultural counties , for in troth " the harvest is abuadant but the labourers are few . " ";; " : " ' ¦ . ¦ ' .- - . .. ; ; ., •¦; . ; . - / I commenced at Leeds , and proceeded to Doncaster , and in that aristocratic place Chsitism is in the ascendant . We got the use of the Town Hall for bar meetings . My worthy and talented predecessor , Mr . Jones , has done much for the causa ia this district . The Tows Hall was first grar . tsd for his use ; and so long as the Chartists conduct thuir meetings with the _ good order and decorum that they have done , they will always be allowed it . I bad a splendid meeting ; tbe Mayor and a great maoyof the middle classes were present , and listened with great attention . ;
I then proceeded to Howden , where Chartism is in its infancy : the principles are quite novel to thsm . I addressed a good meeting in the Marketplace . They seemed to be very shy ; but notwithstanding its being a -wet night , they stood and listened attentively . There is a thriving Association here , aad the petition is being numerously signed . I nexs went to Holme , a large village , and Cbaitiflfc

VlLiiANY ; BRUTALITY , AND HYPOCRISY EXPJOSEP ANDCiHASTISED . TO THE EblTOB OF THE NORTHERN STAE . Sir , — Allow me through the medium of your invaluable paper , to lay before your numerous readers and the public at large , a ftw facts conneoted ¦ with the outrageous and brutal affair which took place at the Hall of Science , Camp-field , Manchester , on Tuesday , March the 17 th . I was present , and saw ; the cowardly and brutul attack which was made upon the life of Feargua O'Connor , Esq . and the leading Chartists by a set of ruffians , their principal leaders being Finigaa , Daley , Duffey , fcc . cf Anti-Corn law notoriety .
Now , Sir , as I am awairts that it is generally understood that most of these nien profess to belong to the Catbolie religion ; as I know that Eptne of tkeir leaders havb cf late been figuring upon the Catholic platforms preaching up tamperance , morftlity , and religion ; and as I am aware that the enemies of that religion , who are alike the sworn enemies of all chiland leiigioua liberty , would take advantage ) of the circumstance audendeavoar to make the world believe that it is in consequence of their belonging to . that religion , and that they are led on by their priests ; and na the R 6 v Daniel Heame , who is a countryman of theirs and likewise the president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society , than whom a more
charitable , benevolent , and liberal minded man djes not exist , and who lor his »? al and exertions in the Temperance canse his equal is not to be found in Eagland , would come in for his' share of the ceiisuxe ; knowing oil this , I considered it a duty incuBibent on me , in vindication of the character of that religion which I respect amd venerate , and in vindication of the character of the clergy , and particularly tho chaiaetfe * of thfe Rev . Daniel Hearue , Whose just and impartial conduct in this affair ; entitles him to the respect and esteem of good men , to lay before your numerous readers and the public at large , the manner in which the guilty party , particularly the leaders , have been exposed , reprimanded , and denounced as enemies of their country aud religion .
I will now lay the facia plainly down just as they have occurred to me , and leave a wise and just public to judge for themselves . I was eye-witness to the whole affair at the Hall of Science . I saw the false statements tif a base and a birpling press . I knew that the guilty patty would endeavour to make their case clear . I therefore took up my pen and wrote a report ii the whole disgracbful proceedings , and directed it to the Rev . Daniel Hearne , resolved that the real truth should be made known to him upon my word aud ; honour ,
that those 1 were the plain and simple facts , and that if Finigan , Daley , and the rest of these leaders we e not driven fnirii the Catholic ' platforms that I would meet them wbeiever they should dare to appear , ; uid expose them to the public at all risks ; and , Sir , to ilia eternal praise be it made known , he did believe my plain and unvarnished Btateuien « s upon tho veracity of my word and honour , in defiance of the snuffling stateinenla of the guilty patty , and in defiance of the false statements of a base and a hireling press . :
It would bo Suntiay morning when he got my letter ; I iittenried the Gaiid Hull in the erenint ? , in which the Temperance Society hold their meetings , of which the Rev . Daniel Hearne is the president , a room capable of holding upwards of a thousanil people . It was crowded , being the Sunday before St . Patrick ' s Day . Several persons having addressed the meeting , the Chairman ' called upon Mr . Daley , a well known advocate of the temperance cause . Mr . Daley came forward ; and in his usual hypocrttical style , appealed to hisr countryman to came forward and join the teinperaa ' ce cause , that they might show to the world that they ' -were ornaments to their religion and to society ; that tnc-y might banish prejuilice from the world ; hold but the right hand of fellowship to every man , no matter What bis religion , his politics , or his country might be .
A respectable man in the body of the meeting called out , V Yes , like as you did in the Hall of Science on 'lu ' . sday night . " At l « ngth-he sat down . About this time Mr . Hearne entered the Hall , and ascended the platform . The first person he came to was Daley . He imiiiediaiyly showed him tho door . He then took his seat in the chair . On hia left , next to him , sat Fiuig . ui , dressed in his official robes belonging to the Holy Guild , which society he has entered , no doubt , a 3 a cloak to cover his viilany . To have seen him you would have thought he was a saint , he safc so mute , pulling a face as long as a fiddle . The moment Mr , Hearne saw him he orUered him off the > pJaiform . He then eamd to ibo front of the piatioriii , aud in his usual pointed and eloquent Btyle aildsts-ieuthein to ttio following effect : —I am sick ; I am competely disheartened : You have given me enough ; this time to last me six months .: Your base conduct in the Hall of
Science has brought disgrace upon me and all connected with you . To think that I caunot go through the streets and hold my head up , but must be compelled to hold my head down through ' youy . conduct .. . I h » vu had statements from both parties . People appeal to me to use my influence ; you completely dishearten me . 1 am the head of this eociety ; and if you cputinuo to disgrace yourselves in this manner , I will cut the head off , aud the body and the tail may do as it will ; and I will leave the town , for I am determined not to bo disgraced with you . He continued to address them in this style for seme time ; and after administering the pledge to a number of ptrBons , ha jfeft the platform . He went into the . committee' room , and there maae Finigaa . > trip off his robes , ai : d toKV Lim never to attempt to put them oa agaia Until be proved by hia conduct that he waa worthy of them .. Ho thvn left the hall , and I have bean informed that ho wtht- 'into Little Ireland to aiiothtr tmipe ance room , aud gave them a Ebvere reprimand . al .-o .
Mr . Editor , allow » ie one or two words to those misguided men who have been led into this disgraceful affairby se'f-ii tjrested men . Fellow ' . slaves , ' when will you cut the leading strings , and begin to think and act for yourselves ? When will you open your eya , that y * . u m : » y see your real enemies ? Remember tho tyrant ' s motto always 'is—divide and conquer . He who would , set you against , your feilowman , is your enemy , no matter what his nmw niay be . Are you not , as working nitn robbed of your hard earnings by the same wicked and utjuat laws as wo are ? Ib : your country not weighed down by the same unbearable icaJ of oppression and taxation that ours is ? Why do you not come forward ana join with your fellow men ; who are struggling to remove these burdens ? . ' . : . ¦ ¦'' . ' . ¦" ' . ¦ ' '¦ ¦ ' ¦ . . ¦'¦¦' - ''
O , you are told that the Chartists are enemies to your country , and to your religion , and that they are leagued with , tha Tories . I , as a . Oittiolic , and on behalf of thousands of iny teliow Catholics who iiaya joined the Chartists , burl back the foul calumny in the teeth of any one who should dare to make such false assertions . . . Good God ! . con d we join with any party who were enemies to that religion which we respect and venerate , and particularly with the Tories , that we know aro sworn enemies to all civil and religious liberty ? O , no , the thing is too absurd to b « i believed by any sober or reflecting mind , and the men who make thu statements know that they are false .
Bat you are told that O Connor is your en 6 my . 0 let me impjore of you to get his lectures tbat he delivered iu the Hall of Science . Call your friends together , and let them be read ; banish prejudice from your minds ; listen patiently to every word they contain , and then judge for yourselves whether you think he ia : either-an enemy to your country or your religion . If you will do this , I pledge my word that you will curae yourselves that you did hot listen patiently to htar him deliver them .
My friends , whai is it that O'Connor stud the Chartists are struggling for ? They are struggling to obtain those just and inalienable rights which belong equally to every man at his birth ; but of which they have been so long robbed . They are struggling to get a power over the law , by which alone they will ever be able to free thtmseivea from the wick e d and unjust system which ii crushing both you and them to the earth . They are Etiuggltbg to give you that power by which alone you will ever be able to get a Repeal of the Union , so aa to be bensficial to tbe g > aVLulfe ot

CALAMtTOUS EXPLOSION OF A STEAM BblLER-rSIXtE ^ N LIVES LOST . ( From the Glasgow Courier of Tuesday : ) The readers of our paper are aware that a fine fast sailing steamer , named the Telegraph , was lately bnilt for the river trade for the purpose of competing with the railway , bhe has been plying for some time back , and being on the hi ^ h pressure principle , has beat the swiftest steamers in the passage to Greonock . Yesterday , about half-past twelve o ' clock , the people on the steam-boat quay , Greenock , heard a report as if a battery of cannon had been discharged at Helensburgh a * distance of four iniles ) i A smoke was seen to arise , and telescopes being procured , the explosion of the Telegraph was immediately
discovered . T'vo oi the tug steamers lying at Greenock quay , got the steam u p , and sailed for Helensburgh , to reader whatever assistance they could . On &trivirig at Helensburgh they -found that the Tolegraph ' a boiler had exploder ! , and that the hull of the vessel was a to . fal wreck , and literally floating away in pieces . It appears that the passengers for Helensburgh had all landed , and that the boat was about to proceed on her passage up the Gaitloch when the explosion took place . Something connected with the management of the valves is supposed to have caused : the accident . Since the above was put in type ^ an acquaintance has furnished us with a few addjtional paraculars in relation to this most appalling catastrophe . It is impossible adequaiely to describe the scene at the moment the explosion occurred : The veasel itself
burst liko a bomb shell , and momentariiy became a total wreck—so much so-, that not a biu ^ I © part of the vessel remained together afloat ^ lit every direction conld be observed , scattered about , the mutilated limbs of the uufortunaie passengers , and the water was literally tinged with their blood . Tho boiler in the explosion was blown completely ashore , so as to convey to the spectator the idea of tho disapucarance of the stftiBier altogether .. When our iniorniant left , he saw fifteen bodies in the Tontine Hotel , Helensburgh , wiiich he recognised . Two of the painters' bodies had not been recovered . At halfpas !; four , the steamer Royal Tar sailed from Helcrisburgh with a number of the w *> uu < ied on board . Of these six were ' -landed .. ' . at Greenook , where the Provost had a number of biers ready to remove the sufferers that arrived to the infirmary .
( From the Second Edition of the Glasgow Chronicle . ) This , we regret to say , has been one of the most frightful catastrophes we have ever been called upon to record . The vessel itself , we learn , is literally ehivered into spars , and the force of the exp ' osion wa ^ so tremendous that the engine was blown to a distance pf twenty yards . The dead bodies present a Bhockihg spectacle , one of them bcinj ; completely decapitated , and olhors so dreadfully bruised and burued , that they hardly present one vestige ot humanity .
Tbelistof the killed and wounded , so far as can yet be ascertained , is as follows : — Killed—Captain Ewing ; of the Telegraph ; W . Bannatync , engineer of ditto ; Mr . rledderwick , of the firm of Hedderwick and ' .. Rankine ; Mts . How of Greeneck ; Miss Iieith , sister , t-j Mr ? . Howr John M'Diariaid , pilot;—— M"Kair ; Robert M'Auslan , one of the crew ; Robert Cadou head , carpenter , Gqvan ; Peter IvrLiiuock and Thoinaa ivrQueen , painters--bodies not found ; Daniel Sinclair , fireman ; a pilot , name unkuown ; two men , supposed to bo tailors—names not known ; James Johns'on , late of the Waterloo House , Greenock ; another man , name not known . ' :
Wounded—Mrs . Keith , Greenock , much hurt , but able to walk , mother oi the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil , bruised ; i-tiohard Anderson , foreinan to Hedderwick aud Raiikihe , djiufjerously wounded ; James Stenhcuse , carpenter , severely wounded ; Miss M'Kellor , Greenpck , hu : t , but not dangerously ; Cnaries MQuairey . paimor , badly wounded ; Geo . Leek , ditto , leu broke in two slaces , and otherwise hurt ; Diigald Cameron , deck band , s ) ightly wounded ;; Duncan Kennedy , ditto ; Lauchian Cameron , severely wounded .
