      SHEFFIELD . ( From our own Correspondent ;} Mr . Dean Taylor . —This taleoted advocate of Chartism visited Sheffield , agreeable to invitation , on Sunday last , and preached two sermons the same day in the National Charter As sociation 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 exoess . 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 . Deputation , which 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 ncxt-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 Report ? , 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 bo difficult to give even a brief sketch . A short discussion followed .

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

      PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR . —ASSERTION JOF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Last week large placards announced a publio meeting , to bo he ! d 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 Ciiurob 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 tho Cutlers' Ha ]] , 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 foriunate neighbours .

      Some time after twelve o clock , the public were admitted into the Hall . , On tho plalfornj were the Master Cutler , Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., Mr . Montgomery , the poet , the Rev . Thomas Sunon , 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 , &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 wav for

      Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., who moved the first resolution , which was in substance to the effect —That , instead of the usual rf joicings , a publio subscription be entered into for tne relief of the poor of the town , upon this , the occasion of the christening of tho 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 the propriety of the course recommended . . Far better was it that the 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 . Th » . Rev . Thokas 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 m i ght be as great a blessing to this country as bis predecessor Edward the Sixth . ( Laughter . )

      Mr . Montgomery seconded the resolution . This was a day the Lord had made . His prayer was that the infant Prince might become the moot illustrious of raonarcVis . ( 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 shall save the children of the needy , and shall break in pieces the oppressor . " ( Loud cheers from the people . ) The resolution wa 3 carried unanimously .

      The Rev . J . M'Leas moved the 3 rd resolution , which simply named the committee . Ho gave £ 3 as the contribution of his scholars , and favoured the meeting with a short address , showing his exuberant loyalty . The resolution was seoonded 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 waB 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 ihe present state of the country , when thousands of tea toiling people of this land are absolutely famishing and perishing of hunger—such » time he considered no time to rejuica ao the birth of a new burden . ( Gr ^ at uproar from the parsons and loud cheers from the people . ) A scene of contusion now ei ; sued , several ef the black-coats , " rising to order . " Mr . Barker , however , was liot to be put down and endeavoured to continue his address—the parsons stamped and shouted , the people by turus groaned 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 wa ? lost amidst the fearful volley of groans that greeted his interference . The storm having lulled lor a moment , The Rev . T . Best with great pomposity , asked Mr . Barker if he thought they would sit thereto hear the Government aud state insulted ! ( Groans . ) Mr . Barkee 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 eormorant , appeared to him to be the climax ofabsurdity . This was followed by great confusion , in the midst ot

      which the Master Cutler , the 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 took amidst the cheers of the meeting . Mr . Otley said when he entered the hall that day he had no thought he would be called upon to fill the cbair , 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 shilling ' s worth back of the piunder they took from them . ( Cheers . ) The Vicar had dwelt largely upon the virtues of Edward the 6 th , he forgot to narrate the hideous vices of those monsters of iniquity , Henry the 8 th , and George the 4 < . h . After some other remarks , Mr . Otley made way for Air . Barker , who resumed ; he regretted tho flight of the parsons and gentlemen , because he wished to have told them a few truths they are not in tho habit of hearing . What was the use , be would ask , of 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 mon&rchs 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 . Bark' r 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 principle 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 .

      HUDDERSFUIU )—Dabino Robbery . — Last week a small butcher's shop , adjoining the Dag Inn , Kirkkate , was forcibly opened , and one half of a &heep taken therefrom . Several suspioious characters were seen lurking about the place early in the evening ; yet , no one thought they Were intending to commit an outrage in so public a 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 themselres ; shortly after three men approached , one took the mutton , and was soon secured , the other two escaped tor the night , but being known were captured next morning , aud 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 . —Who Stopped the Clock IThe good people of Brighton have recently been amuseil by an affair of no very creditable character to their reverend Vicar and his tools , the churchwardens . Some three months since , a vestry meeting of the inhabitants was held to pass the accounts of the churoh wardens ; but the vestry , finding that tho accounts were kept in a most slovenly mannerfinding 'thai out of rales collected for the repairs ot tho church a sum of £ 20 Was charged for grog and , finding , on further investigating the accounts that some seven or ei ^ ht hundred pounds were unaccounted for , the meeting adopted without one dissentient voice strong and detemined rcisolutiona not to pass tho accounts . Matters did not end here .

      we churchwardens , backed by the Yicar , called another vestry meeting , to pass the accounts , and to make another church rate . The parish were up in arms . Polling of the rate-payers ; was carried on for three days tor and against passing the accounta , and for and agaiiiBt 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 dri 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 near of " Who stopped theclock I" This cry ha 9 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 Magistratea for horaewhippinff a child seven years of age . It appears that as the Reverend Vicar wow passing on horseback , the cry was raised by some one in the street , " Who stopped the clock I ' This bad such an effect upon the Reverend Gentleman , that he knew not whither to go—the cry was continued by many , The child , childlike , took up the cry , and mimicked out , ¦ " Who stopped the clockV and ran off home ; The Vicar pursues this child home , dismounts from his horse , bursts open the door of a room in which the little boy had fastened himself , and then i « the presence of the child ' 8 mother , who was completely frightened , with his riding whip , cut

      ; he poor little fellow over face and eyes , by repeated blows . Not content / he took the child to the door to show tho the crowd . But herein he seem » to have made a mistake , for if hd 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 vicsrage , but was denied admittance ; he then appealed to thomagistrates , wh . o granted a summons , af ler a great deal ot ' reluctance , against the Rev . Gentleman , which came on for hearing on Thursday , Jan . 20 th , at the Town H » ll , Brighton ; and after examination and cross-examination , with the assistance ot' two of the big wig tribe to boot , the very Reverend Gentleman was convicted , and

      fined 40 d . and costs . Such is the end of the clock tale , but not the end of the vicar ; tor , on Sunday afternoon , 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 ho had to fly , followed by the crowd , shouting their war cry , "Who stopped the clock ?" nud flying iu all directions , the stBaai was up , when luckily for the vicar , a policeman appeared , tho crowd dispersed ; tho 'blue bottle ' yariished : again they came up / whh the Rev . Gentleman , and again they raised their cry , "Who stopped the clock ?" Ta » vicir mado a bolv ihrough the New Road , and up North-street to the vicarage , covered with mud as well as the execrations and detestations of his Jtock . The Yicar and churchwardens , considering the ill-dozen ; they have get into , hoping , doubtlessi to allay a little of the feeling that exists—to

      calm a little the disturbed waters of Brighton ; and a rogular " nor-weater" blew on Monday Right , in celebration of ^^ the christening of the youpg Pr ? rice , decided to " set the cluck 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 money had been expended . A lesson , we trust , has been taught to Vicars and ignorant conceited Churchwarden , 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 overbeariiig priest ; and we tirgo on tho rate-payers to be prepared for a great moral contest at iiaster 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 and not masters of the parish .

      Star Office , Friday 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 , Charingcross , 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 Churoh , which was followed by a general rush to doors and windows . Upon enquiring the cause , I learned that the Lord Mayor and Council were on their way 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-bom 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 such a set of carriages I never saw , somd gingerbread , some very handsome , and the pick and choice of alt the stands , and such a set of tallowfaced idli-rs as they contained no mortal eye ever beheld—the outpouring of the Stock Exchange- — the swarmhig of the lice on the poor beetles back ; but what was most strange of all was , that a policeman held the handla of each carriage , and in order to give a gcod 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 , when compared with the idle sedentarics inside .

      This King of Prussia ' s gracious visit to our gracioas Monarch will cost the people as much as would feed 50 , 000 or 60 , 000 honest men through the winter . Last night I attended a g ' orious meeting at Chelsea ; Mr . Ford , a fine Radical , in . the chair . Mr . Lees , ditto , made an admirable speech j as did Ruffy Ridley . The petition and memorial oh behalf of Frost , Williams , and Joiiea were enthusiasticaliy and unanimously adopted . But stop a while . I wish the Glasgow bigots had heard the cheers which followed the three lines and a woftD about the Repeal , for it was ail read . It was no doubt intended as an ahswerto JACK puddings of Chartism , and Frost's name also Was received with rapturous caeers .

      I was at Leicester on Monday , and thanks to that little , great fellow Coopuiy-ny eyes were regaled with such a procession as I never had anticipated in the Midland counties . It was one of thefiaestandgrandest and most numerous I ever saw , and about 4 , 000 met in the amphitheatre at night , which , upon the whole , was the mast magnificent m-door meeting I have seen . I asked for Biggs , who had abused mo and my party in my absence . I challenged him to discussion ; but no Biggs was forthcoming : and every hand Was held up , iu Biggs ' * own town , for the Charter as it is , and no new move . , / ¦ ¦;' ¦ You Will have a report , of course , and I merely say so much in returning thanks to the fine fellows whom no humbug can sever , no sophistry can blind .
