ABERNETHY'S PILL for the NERVES and MUS . CLES . —The Proprietor of these Pills is a medical man . The brother of a patient of his _applied to Mr Abernethy for advice . He gave him a prescription , and these pills are prepared accurately from that prescription . The patient's complaint was a _nerveus oae , and it was utterly impossible tor any one to be in a worse _rendition than he was ; muscular power was also lost in someparts , and his legs fairly tottered under him . He had a box of the pills prepared , and tko effects were all but miraculous ; for not only did the nervousness leave him , but muscular power returned to all parts d * ficient of it . The proprietor has since tried them on hundreds of his patients , and he can conscientiously state that their

THE POLICE . TO THS EDITOR 0 ? THB HOttTHEBN STAR . Sin , —Being a constant reader of yonr valuable paper , tbe Nobtbb & h Stab , I have often wondered how it is , after Its profession of peace , that In many Instances It had a , tendency to set one man against another ; I allude to thi rancour ni _/ _alnst iho police . Being a policeman myself I havo thought 1 may bo able to obtain some information how it is , as a body , they aro so much _sp » kon against , because what has been written end what bas been spoken at Chartist meetings has had a tendency to arouBe the worst _pasBiens oi those whoso delight is in _Joing mischief . We aro styled blndgoon mon , ' gorernment minions , ' 'brutal police , ' and anything else but good mea . Permit ma to say there are as good man in the police force as there are out of It . Probably jou
will agree with me , that no situation that a man is called to rill necessarily makes him a good or bad member of society . I have known those who would help e > poor fellow In distress ; and , as regards Ireland and England fraternising , without any egotism on my part , I may say , I took _precedence of those gentlemen who shook hands on tbe platform ia yonder town tbe other day . I soy that I have dene it more _effectually ; for out of my sixteen shillings aad elgbtpence per week , when I have , in tho tour of my duty , found a poor halfstarred Irishman , who has told me bis tale of woe , I bave taken him to the baker ' s shop and bought him some bread , and taken him to an inn and given him some drink , that he might be refreshed . Oft have I received a blessing from poor Irishwomen , and after they have passed have heard them say , ' An sure he is a good man . ' I hare seen a poor Irishman by the way side with a strong fetor upon him , and , whim no one elao would touch him , I have not shrunk from my duty , but have assisted or taken bim , regardless of disease , to where be
may be taken _oaro of . And whan 7 have read the _sonlharrowing accounts of Irish misery , as contained in the NoBTHEBcr Stab , I bare sicbenod at the thought of families being turned out of house and home , their cabins burnt to the ground , and they left to perish of cold and huojjer , Though but a poor man myself , never had the advantage of being fent a Sunday scholar , yet these are many in the police that have seen better day * , and fill tbo situation that they are now in because they have no other . As a member of the Land Company I could wish myself on the land , where I could bs more profitably and healthily employed than in the situation that I now fill , exposed to night air , which is injurious to health , and to the scoffs of tha pnbHc in _genoral .

Thb Nmional Petition. The Following Lett...
THB NMIONAL PETITION . The following letter , testifying the devotion and en . thusiasm of the people , has been received by Mr O'Connor : — We , t & s- inhabitants oftbe Tillage of CoalBnaugbtoB _, assembled in public meeting , on the ISth of March , and adopted the National Petition , and by reading your letter to the meeting , in tha Stab of Maroh 11 th , we at once chos » * committee of twenty , _tSsterromed to-do to the almost cf our power to swell the Petition , Neat day we nat to work , the population of the village amounting to about seven or eight hundred , and every man and woman , electors and noa-ekelore , signed the petition with but two exceptions , ths one a silly creat-are
of a schoolmaster , the other a poor labourer . Wo nest paid attention to the _ontsMrte of tho surrounding parishes , whw & no petition sheets had beau distributedthe parishes of Alloa , Clackmannan , and Dollar—and got every man and woman , with fow exceptions , to aigta , likewiso the * navvies' on tho railway , we may say to a roan . There aro a few of the Old Guards belonging to this village , working at Forth iron-works , a distance of ton miles away ; they sent ns word that there had been no names taken cp there . We lost no time but set off with petition sheets , and exit tbe Old _Guards to work with ourselves , and the result was from thirteen to _foortsen hundred weavers , which would have been all lost had we not repaired thither .
Wo had a meeting on Saturday last with Tillicoultry and Alva districts , and agreed to meet oa Monday even _, _iag to choose a delegate to carry our sheots to Edinburgh , our number of _signalaraB being 3 , 038 . Thinking our work was over we were happy that wo bad succeeded bo well in getting so many signatures , but it turned ont otherwise , for on Sunday night , about eight o ' clock , one of the Old Guards , who is working at Clackmannan works , told us that the town of Clackmannan and surrounding works had boon entirely neglected ; we imm diately called iu a number of our committee and eight of us volunteered to start on Monday morning to Alloa
for sheets , and then to Clackmannan , and commence In one Quarry we got about seventy of your countrymen , besides what we q \ on the railway , and by six o ' clock wa bad 1 , 312 signatures , wbich makes our number in all i , S 50 . Now , air , as you have offered a reward of Bye pounds and the flag wbich is to surmount the petition , as a stimulus for exertion in getting signatures , we are of opinion that few can have done better ; and if you think we are entitled to tho reward , we , in publio meeting assembled , do heartily agree tbat the five pounds rr _. main in yonr hands , to be disposed of as you may think proper , but we would be proud to obtain the flag _.
Ths next step we are about to take , is a letter to Gen . Morrison , the representative for the connties of Clack _, mannan and Kinross , to be signed hy all our electors , requesting him to support tho Petition ) .

TO TUB _EUlTOtt OP TUB UOETHEBH _STAfi . Sib , —About half-past seven o ' clock yesterday morning , the men employed in tbe locomotive and carriage departments of ths Eastern Counties Railway , at Stratford , w » re not a littlo surprised by a request from some of the officers that they would enrol themselves aa special constables—a magistrate being ready for that pur . poae at tne Swan Inn . Although the men had not been apprised that any such steps wera in contemplation , tbey , without any previous concert or arrangement , individually refused—each asserting that he was ready to do all in his powor for the protection of the company ' s properly , in tho « vent of its boing attacked , but would never _cogent to uphold the existing order of things , or to reBiBt the pepple in their efforts to obtain political enfranchiscment , which , if sworn as a special constable , bo would bo required to do . They sympathised too much with the movement going forward—with Europe at large—to do that . About twelve , Mr Roney , the eecrc
tary , called fire or six into tho offico , and endeavoured to _pwsunde tbrro to compl y , bnt It was unavailing—and a msetingof the shops being oalled in tho dinner hour , it was unanimously resolved : — ' That we will , at the risk of our persons , do all in onr power fer the protection of tho company ' s property , which we can do _qaito as efficiently without an oath as with one—hut we will not consent to bs sworn in as special constables . ' I am happy to Bay nothing has since baen heard of tke matter . Truly , Bir , tho minds of those who believe that working mm are destroyers , or abettors of those who destroy property , are much abused . Tell your employers , fellow labourers , as wo told ours , thatyou know the rights of property , and the duties of citizens too well to become anarchists and despoilers ; that you respect justice too much to be unjust to others , in your endeavour to gain that freedom which will conduce to the good cf the _wholo ; and you will thus disabuse the minds of those who are Imposed upon , reassure tho timid , and spoil thc machinations ofthe malignant .
Throughont the day a number of persons were sworn in , hut the great _majority of the working men refused , and many of thoso who took the oath were very reluctant _. At seven in the evening an open-air meeting , at whloa about 2 , 000 persons wero present was held , Tho meeting was addressed by _flfr Donovan , Mr Leaob , Mr West , and others , who delivered eloquent speeches , which found their way to the hearts of the assemblage —on the _ipjustlce of our rulers , the necessity of the Charter , nnd the duty ol attending the Demonstration on Monday . The greatest order and decorum prevailed ,
and the meeting , evidently much gratified , quietly dis . parsed , and returned to their respective homos . Ludf . _crously enough , a magistrate seated oa au omnibus drawn by four _hotsss , paraded up and down the road , having the Riot Aot ready to read at a moment ' s notioe , but the worthy gentleman might just ss well have re . mained at hom 9 with his ' scroll of parchment , ' sensible people only laughing at him for going to bo much need . less trouble .

Great Chartist Meeting At The Literary A...
GREAT CHARTIST MEETING AT THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC * INSTJTUTE , JOHN-STREET , FITZROY SQUARE .
On Tuesday , April Ittb , this Institute was again densely thronged . Mr Lucas was unanimously called to the cnair . Mr Adams , delegate for Glasgow , came forward , loudly applauded , and aaid : Perhaps the best thing they could do was to reviow the proceedings and _pelicy ofthe Convention . The delegates had been charged with acting a cowardly pari yesterday . ( 'No . no . ' } They had the character of consistency to preserve aa well as that of courage . ( Hear , hear . ) They had professedly said that the agitation was peaceful and moral , and yesterday they had turned out to give a demonstration of their peaceful moral fores , not to give battle . ( Loudeheers . ) Although be waa one of those who held the doctrine ' morally if we may , _forcibly if _womasC ( Load cheers , / But , he Baid , let ua exhaust every moral means first .
( Hear , hear . ) True , ho came to the _Csnvention with his life in his hand , hat _Rtili that was no reason he should commit suicide —( hear , bear)—and he did not think they had showed any want of courage . He had a letter in his pocket which contained thia : — ' I should sooner hear of your death thau your cowardice . ' His sister , also , wrote as follows : — 'I would rather lay your lifeless body in tbe grave than hear that you were either guilty of being a spy or a coward . ' Now , this showed that hia family were' up to the mark . ' ( Tremendous cheering . ) His constituency , also , left it with him whether he should remain in town or not . He had never heard anything less from any delegate , bnt that he was prepared to sacrifice all in their cause , and when the real day of trial arrived , they would all be found to act worthy of Englishmen , Irishmen , and Scotchmen . { Great _cheerim ? . )
Mr John Skemon proposed the following resolution : — ' That this meeting highly approve of the policy of the Convention in preserving the peace , and preventing a _collision with the constituted authorities , and thereby preventing an _enormous expenditure of human Wood , the shedding of which would have answered uo good end , but would have made widows sigh and orphans mourn tbe loss of husband and father . ' Moral force was more powerful than physical force . It was true government and all our institutions were based on physical force , and why ? because the minoriry made laws for the majority . Mr Robinsok seconded the resolution .
Mr Churchill came forward to move the following amendment : — ' That tbis meeting , considering themselves hound to obey ihe orders of . tbe delegates whom they have elected to represent them in the National Convention , submit to the decision adopted on Monday by their representatives , and have no doubt it was dictated solely by the best intentions , and by an earnest care fo ? the people's good . " , Mr _Disoh said it was no amendment . Mr Churchill said he would speak to the amendment , and then 6 h _* 3 y could judge whether it was aa amendment or not . All governments , except that under the Autoorat of Russia , were making
concessions to tbe people , whilst England was adding another chain , and that , too under those Whigs who brought abont the So-called glorious revolution of 1688 . Their liberty was not to he got in a day ; a class of masters was not te be converted in a day , — it would take time . He could aot shut his eyes to- the fact that almost all great changes had been bought with blood . Bnt he was willing to make the attempt to create the events tbat would make England what she ought to be-. He thought they went to Kennington Common witheBe idea in their heads , and eamo back with another , hence he moved his amendment . ( Applause . )
Mr Vernon rose to second ths amendment , and said , he should be unworthy of their attention should he , in these times of danger , create disunion . ( Cheers . ) Mr Vernon added some comments on the proceedings at Kennington Common , and defended his own character from certain aspersions cast thereon . Mr W . Dixon thought too much had been said of physical force . He complained of Mr Vernon . He came to the van , and said to Mr Cuffay , ' Come—we will lead if you will follow , come weal , come woe . ' Now , he ( Mr Dixon ) trusted that ' on their platform , henceforth , they would not have one man preaching moral , and another physical farce , let ns hare an evenness of action . ( Cheers . ) Mr Vernon-, with permission , withdrew his amendment amidst loud cheers .
The resolution was carried unanimously , amidst great applause . Mr _DIxojt said , that rn the National _Aasasmbly , London would have eight representatives . ( Cheers . ) Mr John Fcssell came forward , and proposed the following resolution : — ' That this meeting , having been apprised of tho intention of the base Whig government of England to carry a measure through parliament , having for its object the subversion ef tbe last remnant of British liberty—the right of freely _expressinf our opinions , both by speaking and writing—we feel ourselves called _upen thus to declare oar atter detestation and abhorrence of both the measure and the contemptible and brutal ministry from whom it has emanated , aud hereby resolve to go on , exercising our just constitutional privileges , independent of the tyrannical and despotic enactments of the same treacherous , bloodthirsty , and despotic party . ' Mr _Fussell , in a very able speech , supported the motion .
Mr Walter , in a most forcible speech , seconded it amidst loud cheers . Mr Ernest Jones , amidst rapturous cheering , came forward to support the motion , This was the third meeting he had attended to-night—one an open-air meeting on Stepney green . It was a glorious meeting . The second ono , held at Farringdon-hall . was equally glorious . He had heard that they had been unanimous and determined . A gagging bill was about to be passed , at the instigation of Sir _Geoifgo drey j hut that was a reason why he should speak stronger and louder . ( Immense applause . ) The motion was then put , aud carried unanimously _.
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman ; three cheet 3 for tha Convention . ; three for the Charter ; three for Fear-jus O'Connor , M . P . ; three for Ernest Jones , and three groans for the Whigs . — Tbis splendid _meeting then separated quietly .

' Fellow Countrymen : We address you at this great and important crisis in the country , for the _purposo of requesting your co-operation , and thereby effecting a union between the middle and working classes , which must regenerate thia country , and redress our common grievances in a peaceful , legal , and constitutional manner . We have been too long disunited . We have , although single in interest , been made double in action . An aristocratic gorernment , that neither knows nor cares for our losses and sufferings , have made it their principle to sow jealousy and hatred between us , so that they may the more safely rale U 8 for tbeir own advantage . This state of things we think it wise to have amended—not that we are without strength , courage , union , and
resources , but to prevent turmoil and revolution . We understand tbe necessity of a moral remedy for our _aooial , political , and commercial evils . We know full well that a peaceful change will best suit the interests , the character , and the commerce of our _csuntry ; but that cannot be effected unless the combined middle and working classes demand it . Our prayers , our petitions , our groans , and our agony , have heen met with loud laughter and derision by the aristocrats , We appeal to you to prove yourselves anti-revolutionists by joining us in our just demand for an immediate concession to the people of the principles ofthe Charter , Bad the whole people been in possession ofthe suffrage , and exercised it , only two years ago , the calamities whioh have
befallen us would not have occurred , because , where tho interests of ali were represented , the interests of all would have been protected , Instead of that , we find that the interests ef the middle and working _elates , both at home and abroad , have been wotully aaorificed , as the following returns of the Board of Trade prove : — Tho declared value of our exported yarns and threads , in whioh we take the lead , because our capital enables as to purchase the lone staple wool and cotton , amounted , in 1846 . to £ 7 . 8 * 73 , 72-7 , but in 1847 , it declined to £ 5 , 867 , 000 . Tbe home consumption of manufaetured goods , chiefly caused by the expenditure of wages , amounted , in i 845 , to £ 19 , 610 . 857 ; in 1846 it declined , as wages fell , to £ 16 , 881 , 605 : and in 1847 , when there has been , as it were , half work , half wages , and in Borne isstances , neither work nor wages , the home demand upon our manufactured goods has fallen to £ 9 , 500 _, 000 .
This proves that we are on the sliding scale of ruin , and no wonder that you middle classes complain of empt y tills , diminished profits , and increased taxes . You are bihind inseparably with us . If Wages decline , so must profits fall ; and if profits fail altogether , capital must disappear , and the means of employing us be out off altogether . Through ' . the incapacity , ignorance , or design of the aristocrats , the principles of FrCe Trade have been totally perverted and destroyed , and all benefits rendered null and void . _< £ 33 , 00 _& , 000 of our gold have been exported , and our commercial firms have failed to the exact amount of £ 30 , 000 , 000 , simply beoause there was nn Government or National Bank to accommodate our . _nimufaoturera . They , although possessing sufficient real property , could procure no oredit . The workshops and factories were closed , wages ceased , and home consumption dwindled , to the ruin and embarrassment of you , the middle classes .
The Charter would have prevented those _deplorable results , _beo-iuse the interests , ofthe people woiild ' . i _» ve dictated to thim the absolute _ncc-ssity of keep _, inn _factories and _workshops in full work , by granting immediate _accommodiition to you , the middle classes ,

Rnn I I Tt"1 Mbeotg Of The Li7erp00l Cha...
rnn i i TT" 1 _MBEOTG OF THE LI 7 ERP 00 L CHARTISTS . ( From the _Livebpool Albion . ) On Friday night another crowded meeting of the Bra . _taraal Democrats ef Mv « rpool was held at the MuBlcHatl for the _pnrrsesa of pasting resolu tions calling npon tho _memberg for Liverpool and South Lancashire to _aapport the national Petition for the People ' s Charter , Tho room was crowded to suffocation . ifr _Plbttb , a working man , was called to the _ohair . He aaid the working _clasasi presented a strange anomaly ; they were ground down to the dust , although it was their labour whieh supported _e _^ ery tyrant in esht . ence . It waB th » labour of the working classes which supported thrones .
Mr T . Johbs moved the first resolution . He addressed tbe audience as ' brother _alarej . ' He said , as . slaves that night they had come to ask their t yrants to do aa act of justice . Aa slaves they had come to aek their oppresBors to strike the manacles eff their limbs and set the captive free . ( Loud cheers . ) They had petitionedpetitioned , perhaps , too long . ( Hear , hear . ) For his part he was sick of petitioning ; he would petition no more . The last petition to which he would ev _» r append hia nama would be rolled into the House of CommonB on Monday next , to be treated , as all previous petitions had been , with scorn and _contsmpt . The Times had called upon tha government to suppress the Chartist Convention now Bitting in London . He asked , would the people stand quietly by and see the last remnant of their rights wrested from their hands ? ( Loud cries ef
' No , no ! ' J Rather thau despotic power should bo ai . lowed to crush their last _liberties , he had resolved , come weal , come wo , to U 6 e every means which he could com . saand . The wolf preys upon the lamb , the vulture upon tbe _dore , and the _midfllo clans preyed upon the poor . If every man felt that his liberty rested in his own hands , twenty-four hours would not pass till the star of freedom shone over the land . Should their petition be rejected on Monday , he asked if they were prepared for further action ? Were thoy prepared to make themselves heard , and , if need be , felt ? If they were not , _signing petitions wat * of no use , The speaker then proposed the first resolution , which was in advocacy of uuiversal franchise , aad by which the meeting pledged itself to exert every faculty of mind and body to _ueoare the recognition of People ' s Charter as the this right , by establishing the basis of the British constitution
Mr TV . _M'Leajt , an operativa cabinet-maker , seconded the resolution . Dr _RkthoIiOs supported tho resolution . The last speaker had said that there should be no property quali 8 cation ; and he said thero _ehould be no mental qualification fora speaker , if he had the spirit of man wlttln him and an ana to strike a Wow in the cause of freedom . ( Yoclferoua cheers . ) He was a Young Ira . lander—one of that class of men who detested , and hatea , and spurned the word ' petition . ' ( Applause . ) Let tha Chartists of England and Irish Repealers unite
in one _grandbod y , and all the powers of England , and foreign assistance to help them , could make no impression upon the phalans tbey would present . _pl'JH Mr T . DA VIES moved the second resolution , to the _tffeot that members of Parliament were but tbe servant * of the people and to be ready at all times to do their bidding ; and therefore the meeting called upon tho membirs of Liverpool and South Lancashire to support the nrayer of the National Petition for the People's Charter . ( Loud applause . ) This speech waB with but few exceptions gratefully quiet ,
Mr MattH £ w Sohebs seconded the resolution , and on presenting himself was received with loud applause He said , if they were earnest in their prayer for the " Charter—if thBy wished to bo represented—if thy « wished that the corn in th stores of Liverpool should be sold at a fair price—if they wished to be paid a fair and honest day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work—then let every man be prepared for his duty . ( Loud cheers . ) The _mee ting did not breakup till twenty minutes after ten o slock .
Tmito N «J.-It Wm Stated Last Week That ...
TMITO n « J .-It wm stated last week that M . Guizot had applied to the Provisional Government _aJ _?* T ° _^ V ? h due to him _» 8 Minister during the month of February . This , however , was most untrue , for M , _Ga . _zot knew very well that a dishonest servant could be dismissed without either notice or wagea . r A _Datn CBRTAiiiiT .-Tho papers say that at the funeral of the victims of Berlin the King stood on the balcony of his palace deeply affected . There is not the least doubt that his Majesty ' s grief was still more _affceted than himself . Accounted _roB . —The Dean charges for admission to St Paul ' s , to raise money to keep up his dignity . This is on the old principle— ' Twopence more , and up goes the donkey . '
A Good Resolution . —The Italians have _Blwaya hated the intimate acquaintance the AuBtrians wished to force upon thera . Their late _sangninary struggle shows , however , that in future they are determined to keep their oppressors at arms' length . BiEsrAir ,.-The cause of Chartism in this locality appears to be steadily advancing . The number of members _m the Associaiion is on the gradual in _> crease . The meeting on Saturday night seemed delighted with tho proceedings which had taken place in the Convention , and were ananifflOHSlf ol opinion that too much support could not be given to men who appear so determinately bent on doing theit duty , in order to liberate their fellow-countrymen ? n _™ _™? y _* _# l At the c ! ose _<* _^ e meeting Xn _^ _""^ the association fund , for the in the village , from vh M 0 w 1 m > are immM 9 w _fa utlwiVg
