SATTORB . —There was a lecture jn our roam on Snndayevening last . Th ^ room wia" actual ! y ~ iu ffocating . The wAoi& . borqn / fhjg ^ etting alire again . Tha . ^ ft-operatioa system adopted Jjf ., < b . a Qia ? Usts Sere is tie only practicable and juaieie established . Some families saTe ' as mncfi as founeec-peaoe pjSr week in their present prOTisioa dealing . A eo&T « vsation , to th « following effect , took pikes between a proviaion dealer and a Chartist daring ihe past week . ' We will not mention Dames : — Shopkeeper—What is the reason , Mr . Chartist , yon do aot get your floor and bacon , from me as fermerly ? Chartist—Because I can buy them of as good a quality and much cheaper than yon will sell them to me . &—How do 700 proye that—I buy as cheap as anybody else ! C . —Nay , but you do not ; yon get all your stnff on credit , but we pay ready money .
S , —Yon pay ready money do you , eh—whom do you mean by " we" « C—Why the working men to be sure . We club our money together , bp and buy oar prorisions wholesale ; by this means we save * 2 d . on the dozen of flour , 2 d , on a pound of bacon , Id . per pound on candies , 2 d . per score on potatoes , and other articles in like manner . . S . —Oh ! you will get tired of such work , yon mslf take my word for it . Som « one will run aw * y with your money . C—Kerer fear , Mr . Shopkeeper , that is what you want . Ours is not » store where there is any great
sum of money in any body ' B hands ; we have now three bocies , where we divide our goods among ourselves ; we are determined no longer to be foolg to be putting money in the pockets of shopkeepers , to keep them laiy and idle , to clothe their wives in ¦ ilk , and their daughters in satin , while ours are in rags . Good bye . Mr . Shopkeeper . S . —( alone)—What the devil will become of ub These fellows , sines they hare commenced stadying politics , and reading that damned paper the Northern Star , and such publications as the Chartist Circular , have begun to take their own affairs into their own hands , I am afraid we aiust become Chartists too .
On Monday evening the anticipated discussion , on the progression of mankind , took place . The Chartists are organising into classes again . Mr . Little moved , and Mr . Richards seconded the following resolntion : — "In consequence of the long-tried , unceasing , and honest exertions of M * Campbell , secretary to the present Executive , in the causa oFdemocracy in Salford , that we consider him a fit and proper person to be nominated as a candidate for the permanent Executive of the National Charter Association about to be elected .
BUHTON-ON-TRENT . —This Tory town was visited last Monday by the Derbyshire Chartist lecturer —Mr . Bairstow—the first visit ever paid to it by a Chartist lecturer . The bellman announced the meeting for the Market-place , at seven o'clock , where , at that time , an immense concourse had assembled , who manifested the liveliest desire t o bear ilr . SairstOW . Be mounted a chair by the Obelisk , when a lusty but good humoured vublican asked him what the Charter meant , to "shicb . Mr . B . instanter replied in a most argumentative , lucid , and convincing strain of reasoning on the principles of the Charter , to which the entire meeting and the gentlemanly publican gave their hearty assent and unanimous applause , with the solitary exception of one 2 » - "inight" -ed toper , who , by his devoirs to the
'' jolly god , " had got half E © is over , —but on interrupting Jir . Bairstow , he iraa spe&dily pu * heti out of the meeting by a number ot the Barton loda , who ttood like a firm phalanx around Mr . B ., hung in Bilence up # n his lips , and caugkt every sentiment with the loudest deaionstrations of applause . While Mr . B ,, in concluding his address , which lasted two hours , was adverting to the physical force by which the system is upheld , a voice muttered " Newport , Newport , " to ¦ which , with tie rapidity of lightning , and a scathing gl * nee cf -withering aeora , he replied , " •¦ Talk of Newport by the side of Waterloo . '" and brought up a most powerful md thriliicg picture of tile present accursed system iu all its departments . At the end of his lecture threeloud spontmeoas and most enthusiastic cheers wer « given by the whole meeting , wuhoutany one proposing them , while hundreds of warm hearts responded in kindest wifhc 3 and prayers to his " good nigbt . " A bigotwd shopocrat attempted , in
the course of the lecture , to instigate one of the town police to pat down Mr . Bairstow , but the policeman generously stated that he was there as a preserver of the peace and not a disturber , and that " the lecturer ' s statements were true to the letter . " After the dispersion of ih ? assembly , of -whom there were not less than 1 , 209 , a number of friends accompanied Mr . B . to his lodgings , where he enrolled a number of meicbera of the National Charter Association , who will meet weekly and co-operate with the county and town of Derby . The Charter , Mr . Bairstow , and tha nesting , is now all the topic in Burton . Prospicts are most auspicious for a flourishing interest here ; hurrah for Chartism ! instead of " strong ale , " in Burton . The tide is torned , and it will follow till it empties nself into the great ocean of truth and jnsiice . Mr . Bairstow will probab ! y Tisit Burt » n again in the course of four weeks .
PRESTOIf . —On Friday evening last , the Chartists of Presten met in their Room , Avenham street , to hear a lecture from Mr . Butterworth , who in a plain , straightforward manner exposed the conduct of the iloneymon ; ers and Profitmongers . and contended thai neither life , limb , nor labour vronld be protected by the law , in the same manner as the property of the higher and middle classes was . He then in a very sarcastic strain unmasked those clerical hypocrites who gull the pe « ple by preaching " passive obedience and non-resistance , " who , living in affluence , have tfce effrontery to tell their bearers it is the will of Divine Providence that the great portion of mankind should be poor , and that they ought to submit in patience and not complain . After
exhorting them to onion &ai energy , he ctEtluufed a most instrncive lecture . —The doors of the Association Room were then thrown open to ths publie , as had been announced by placard , &c- to take into consideration the propriety of a 4 optu ) g the petition that appeared in the Star , atd devising means for the expences of the convection . . Mr . R . Watson being voted to the chair , Mr . G . Halton read the petition to tie meeting , and , after making a few remarks on the propriety of agreeing to it , mored its adoption . Mr . E . SwindlfcbuTit . in a neat speech , seconded the proposition ; which was spoken to by Mr . S . Murphy , and uranimous '» y Adopted . Sheets for signatures are laying at the Association Room , Avenham-street , evety evening after six o clock .
NEWPORT iWales ) . —We have received the following protest , to which , in justice , we cannot refuse insertion : — " "We , the Chartists of Newport , as a body of the National Charter Association of Great Britain , do hereby enter our protest agaiust Mr . John . CulUus , declaring Mm not a proper person to sit on the Petition Convention abent to b « formed in London . We les . ru , from last week ' s Ster , that he has entirely < l nie ; i being a wembtr , and refuses to join the National Charter Association of Great Britain ; therefore , we , as a body of the above Association , will not , nor cannot .

Morgan Williaas , as s . fit and proper person to sit upon the Petition Conventicn , and will do their utmost to support him "while in London .
15 THIS PART of the country , it is a general rule to pay respect to the dead , by decking tbe graves with flowers ; Sunday , the ith instant , being what is called "Flowerirg Sunday , '' eariy in the morning groups ' men , ¦ women , and children were weeding their way to the church-yard , witk baskets of flowers in their bands , to pay s token of respect to Xheir mueh-lored deceased parenti , friend ? , and relatives . Amongst the rest , the poor fellows-who fought and bled for liberty , were not forgotten ; their graves were elegantly strewed with flowers ; hundreds of people came running with their presents , until the graves were completely covered with
iloweri The Chartists were bueily engaged in decking the graveB , ( four in number , ) after which the following lines were written in large band , and placed at the head of each grave . Htre lie the valiant and the brave , Whe fought a nation's rights to save ; They tried to set the captives free , But fell a prey to tyranny . But still they shall not be forgot , Tho" in the grave their bodies rot ; The Charter shall our watchword be , — Come death , or glorious victory !
On tbe grave of brave Shell "were the lines that appeared in the Star about five months ago : — " Who fought for freedom more than life ; Who gave up all -to die in strife ; The young , the brave , no more a slave . Immortal Shell , that died so well , He foil , and sleeps in honour ' * grave . " BXRWXNeHAja . —An able di » cour * e waa delivered on Sunday evening last , in tie Chartist Meeting-room , Freeman-street , by Mr . W . Dean Taylor . Previous to the chair being taken , Mr . T .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS MERCURY . Sir , —Tour vmgentlemanly attack upon my character in the foul-mouthed language of Billingsgate , as exhibited in the report of wy address delivered at the Chartist meeting field in the Cloth Hall Yard , after the Corn Law meeting hod been dissolved by the chairman , fully justifies the general opinion held of your lying capabilities , or you would never have designated me " a low blackguard character , named Parker . " I have been fourteen years iu business on my own account in LeedB , entitled to , and ever exercising , my right of voting for Burougb . Members of Parliament ever since the Reform Bill ; and I defy all the men in Leeds—yourself into the bargain—to prove you ever heard me utter a blackguard expression , or commit one blackguard or low dirty action .

THE NEW " NATIONAL" MOVE . TO THE EDITOR OP TUB NORTHERN STAB . Lambeth , 4 th April , 1 S 41 . Pear Sir , —It ia extremely painful to my feelings to be obliged to appeal to my democratic brethren , through tbe medium of their own journal , on the present occasion ; but having considered it my duty to struggle for ytara against a party who , dressed in the garb of friendship , faavu systematically proved themselves to be our greatest enemies—in fact , the only enemies wc have to fear—and fearing to create disunion when thtre was the appearance of . co-optra . tion , 1 have been cautious of giving publicity to my long-settled and deep-rooted conviction , thit these political ¦ wolves in sheep's clothing were acting as a drag chain on the wheels of the Universal Suffrage iraijgon , and that too in its uphill efforts ; thus making its application the more severely felt—a conviction which is the result of a close association with , and a careful observation of the conduct of these gentlemen , for the last five years . But now , when their plan of opposition to the national will has assumed a tangible form , and there . is do longer any < ianger ot my causing tho disunion , they having disunited themselves , I thiuk it would be unwise in me to let tkis opportunity slip of cautioning my brethren , who are honestly engaged in the cause of political and social improvement , against the insidious attempt that is now being made to distract their attention from the great movement in which they are embarked , to divide their energies , and weiiien their unanimity in the most complete organisation , and most approved system of agitation , which n&s ever yet existed among the working' people of this or any other country .
1 received the other day a circular containing an address to the " leading Chartists of the Hinted Kingdom , " requesting their signature and co-operation in formiig a National Association !! for tbe political , ffloral , and social improvement of the people ; bnt , instead of signing this document , or descending to a personal correspondence -with any of the six conspirators , whose names aTe attai-htd to it , 1 rather choose thus publicly to disclaim any connection with this party ; to protest against the vile attempt to break through the phalanx of true hearts and strong arms which now surround and protect the citadel of Chartism ; and to denounce the base and servile tools of tbe " base , brutal , and bloody faction , " vrlio thus lend tbemielres to The performance of the ungridous task of bnrking the movement , under the specious pretext of improving the political , moral , and social condition of the people .
There is already ( and I am proud to say it ) a great National Association formed in this country , with the principles of which these men profess to agree . Why , then , do they seek to destroy taut by the formation of another , having ostensibly the same objects ? This , to 5 ay the least of it , smells of O'Conneliism so strongly , that , in my opinion , the omission of his nurna to the circular in question , ia an error which ought at once to be remedied ; and , for my part , Mr . Editor , I eauiJbt allow these praters about the ignorance of the masses to lay the blame of the evils , which arise chiefly out of the vicious legislation of tfce highly -educated and very
immoral aristocracy , on tbe shoulders of their more virtuous , though less educated , brethren . And , to tell yon the truth , Sir , I ehonld be very loth to trust my children to be taught morals at sucb . » school , as to the educational department of the scheme , I fancy honest Joe of Kilkenny will be entitled to the credit ; and the blessings we might enjoy under present circumstances may safely be attributed to the late Member fur Bath , who baa evinced such a sympathy for the poor , that he would throw them on their own reeonrcea with diminished means , and give them chesp Vread , more wort , and less wagss , by a repeal of the Corn Laws .
In order , therefore , th 3 t we may know our friends , tbe names of these three patriotic gentlemen ought to be added to the list of six which grace the frontispiece ot this new edition of the Penny Magazine , which is to divide the sheep from the goats , and tit and prepare us to receive our full measure of juatiee . Now , with all due deference to the superior knowledge of these immaculate teachers of morality , I cannot discover such & vast amount of crime ot any strt among the class to which I belong as should , on » eompuh » n with those who at present possess the power of being dragged or driven to vote for their masters , disqualify us to exercise the rights of citizenship . Indeed , I am perfectly ntisfltd that amy oomparUon of the kind , would shew such a balance in our favour , as would convince oar sapient , would-be-scboolni&sters—these of them at least who can afford to be honest enough t * act according to the dictates of sincerity—that . their
labours ought to commence with their employers , sad , like the great moralist of aid , cry aloud against the crimes asd wickedness committed ky those in authority—Bcoorge the money-changers from tbe templepronounce woe * against the oppressors of tbe poor , and those who , by adding house to house , deprive their brethren of their fair share of the ample and continual feast which tbe God of all has provided for all ,- asd having siieneed the scribes and pharisees , and the great expounders of the laws , who live by lying and deceit ; and having by these means procured an abundant supply of food for a starring population , then let them torn to tbe poor and preach contentment , and their labour will be light . Let them have but tb » power to improve their political and social condition , and then let them look for morality in tbe contented mind , in the reciprocal performance of social obligations , and in the amelioration of the institutions of our
common country . In the mean time let os press onwards in our straightforward course , taming aside neither to the right nor

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Tr / ESDAT , April 6 . Mr . HAWKS presented peHiioM from the Medical Practitioners ofj Cockennouth , in favour of Medical Reform Bill , also petitions from Dissenting Congregations in Hampshire and Essex , against church-rates , and petitions from individuals in favour of the release of Feargus O'Oou . nASt , and for a free pardon for Frost , Williams , and Jone 8 . ' ¦ Mr . DENHmouN presented a petition from Glasgow , praying for Universal Suffrage , and against the Corn Livwa . '
. _ Mr . Wakmsy presented a pstition from the Camberwell and Walworth Charter Association , praying the House to remit the sentence on Mr . Feargus O'ConDor ; also * petition from Salford , praying for the remission of the sentence on Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also a petition from Finsbury , praying the House to institute an inquiry into the principles of the 1 Socialists ! A tetter was read by the Speaker from Sir R . Stopford , acknowledging the vote of thanks passed by the House of CtoinmonB to himself , and the officers and men under bis command . On the motion of Viscount Palmerston , it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn until Tuesday , the 2 ltb . of April .
Lord PaIMBRston , in reply to a question from Mr . P . Howard , stated that the Portnguese commission for the settlement of the claims Of British subjects were still occupied with preliminary inquiries , which required to be brought io a close before any of those claims could be settled . Mr . Ewart then brought forward his motion for an address to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleased to appoint a Minister of Education , one whose duties should be to lay annually before Parliament a return showing the progress of education throughout the United Kingdom . The Hon . Gentleman , at great length , stated the practice in foreign countries , contending that tho greatest advantage must accrue to Great Britain from the adoption ot the continental system . One great advantage that would follow the adoption of Ws motion , would he the establishment of public libraries , the want of which was a reproach to the character of tbe country .
Mr . W . 8 . O'BRlEff seconded the motion , and contended that the next duty of the State , after that of the protection of life and property , was to make provision for the instruction of the people . Sir G . Grey said he should not be doing justice to a question of such impprtance if he entered fully into it in a Htuse so thin ( about fifty members ) . He believed the btate of the House -was to be attributed to the day oa which it was bronght forward—the last before the adjournment—and to a belief tnat it would not be brought forward , rather than to any indifference
on the part of the House to the subject . He could not , however , agree to the motion of his Hon . Friend , because , after the recess , a report from tho Committee of Privy Council upon the subject of education would be laid upon the table , which would give very full information on that subject , and might prove to the Hon . Member that the necessity for the appointment of a minister of education would be in a great measure superseded . He would suggest to the Hon . Member to withdraw his motion for the present , and bring it forward when the estimates ou education would be before the House .
Mr . Ewart acceded to the suggestion , and the motion was accordingly witbrfra . wu . Mr . Hume then moved for the appointment of a select Committee to inquire into the present state ol the national monumenta and works of art in Westminster Abbey , in St . Paul ' s Cathedral , and in other publie edifloes ; to consider the best means for their protection , and for affording facilities to the public for their inspection as a means of moral and intellectual improvement for the people . Mr . T&ACKiSNON was of opinion the adoption of the motion would be conducive to the public welfare , though he was apprehensive lest it should be considered as the adoption of a principle that all cathedrals should ba thrown open to the public .
Mr . La BOUCHERS would not oppose the motion , and , as the committee would be probably appointed , he thought it would be advisable to postpone any discussion on the details for the present , and wait until the report of the committee should be-laid on the table . Sir R . Inqlis made some observations in opposition to the motion , though Jbe was quite aware it was useless for hun to do se in the thia state of the House , and more particularly so as it was supported by her Majesty's Government . Lord Morpith , in allusion to a remark made by Sir R . Inglis as to a risk to which the cartoons in Hampton Court had recently been exposed , said that the Chief Commissioners of Woods and Forests went recently to Hampton Court , and he believed precautions were now adopted to prevent auy danget of future accident to those inestimable works of art .
The motion was then agreed to . At the request of Lord Palmerston , Mr . Hume postponed , until after the recess , his motion for papers relative to the destruction of tho steaV-l . oat Carolinetha Noble Lord remarking that a discussion might embarr&FS existing negotiations . The House theu adjourned .

J . F . Winks , the Agent for PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester , who has preserved the name and residence of each of the parties , which he is ready to produce ;—J . C , Oxford-street , Leicester , aged 44 , had
been ill two years , of a kind of influenza . The club surgeon said he was in a consumption , and would never recover . He began to take these Piils three months ago , previous to which he had been confined to his bod six months . The Pills first brought away a great deal of offensive matter , aud then he gradually recovered . Can now walk about vrithout a stick , and thought it his duty t © make it known . Ho called again afterwards , aud begged that hia name might aot be published , as it might offend the club doctor
. .. . ... The wife of Mr . Brown , in Fieet-sireet , had been in a low way for some time ; sha took th « Pills regularly , and soon found her spirits more " cheerful ; and her sight and hearing , which had beea affected , were improved . She said they were pleasant to take , not causing a sickly feeliug , or giving the least
pain . . , . Miss Evans , Chatham-streofc , is a mender m a warehouse . Had been much afflicted tor several years , and notable to domore than twohours work in a day . She took the Pille , and soon was improved in health , and could see much better . She now works her Mgulat

'' - Peterborough , March 27 , 1841 . "GENTLKMEH . -Bttving the last fortnight ihayo sold nearly on « hundred boxes of Purr ' s Life Pills , and tho good effects produced by them have been most astounding . One person who has buen many years dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic complaint , stated , that he felt certain from the good they had already done him , that if he . could only remain quietly at home , instead of being ooliged to go ^ to work , they would completely euro him . Another person who had a bid knee , said that they haa done hor more « ood than ail the doctors . In fact , I have no hesitation in saying , that if your extraordinary medicine required such aid to bring it into notice , which in this part of the world it does uot , I could with ease obtain a dozen more such cases , witn the names and addresses of tho parties . " I remain , Gentlemen , " Yours respectfully , " J . S . CLARKE . "
Spring and Fall . —The spriuft and fall of the leaf have be « -n always remarked as periods when disease , if it be lurking iu the system , is sure to shew itself . Tbe coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body , and in this state of inactivity Jheir evil to the system u not perceived , but at the spring those are roused , and if not checked , mix up and circulate with the blood , ana thus the whole system is contaminated . These pills taken three every night for two or three weeks will rid the
body of all that is noxious , and produce heaitii and comfort . Persons troubled with BuorbutwaSevtivaa are strongly advised to try them at this time of the year ; in a lew days , they will perceive tho powerful okaring properties they possess , and thus be induced to continue them . Recently , a remarkable case where a gentleman waB so dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic disorder as to be quito uBsi ^ lnly . by a patient undeviating course of these pills , his system has undergone a thorough change , and his fikijvis now as fab-and sound as of a healthy child , ine
fall of the leaf also is a time when the system , relaxed by the heat of the summer , would be highly benefited by a , few weeks' course of the pills , two or three every night ; thege will clear off sour » nd bad humours , which heat invariably genera-leg . 1 he liver , which generally gets sluggish , will be put into healthy action , and thus be able to perform the functions allotted to it ; the body altogether will be re-invigorated , and prepared to undergo whatever change the winter may bring on . „»_ - »„„ Many other cases have been mentioned by persons who hive purchased the PUIb . Indeed , tho very extensive and increasing sale of ; this useful Medicine , is the best proof that oan be desired how 'to ld ' by nvKst respectable Medioine Venders , in Boxes at la . ljd ., 2 a . 9 d ., and 11 s .
