THE POLICE . TO THE EDITOB OS THE NO&TH 8 RW BlAI * Sib , —Being a constant reader of your valuable paper , the Northbbw Stab , I have oftea wondered how it is , aftor itB profession of peace , that In many inBtancea it has a tendency to set one men again « t another ; I allude to the rancour against the pelice . Being a poHoaman myself I have thoug ht I may be able to obtain some information how it is , as a body , they osa so much spgken against , because what has bean written and what baa been spoken at Chartist meetings bbb had a tendency to arouse ( ha worst passions of those whoso delight is in doing mischief , We are styled bludgeon men , ' government minions , ' 'brutal police , ' and anything : else but good men . Permit me to say there are as good men in the police force as there are out of it . Probably you
will agree with mo , that no situation that a man is called to fill necessarily makes him a good or bad member of society . I have known tfeOBe who would help a poor fellow in disiress ; and , as regards Ireland and England fraternising , without any egotism on my part , 1 may say , I took precedence of those gentlemen who shook hands on the platform In yoiider town the other day . I say that I have dene it more effectually ; for out of my sixteenshillings and elgbtpsnoo p « r week , when I have , in the tottr of my duty , found a poor half , starved Irishman , who haB told me his tale of woe , I have taken him to the baker ' s shop and bought him Borne bread , and taken him to an ion and girea him some drink , that he might bo 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 bavo seen » poor Irishman by the way side with ft strong fever upon biro , and , when no one else would touoh him , I have not shrunk from my duty , but have assilted or taken him , regardless of disease , to where he may be taken cars of . And When I have read the soulharrowiBg accounts of Irish misery , as contained in the Noethebw Stab , I have sickened at the thought of families being turned out of bouse and home , their cabins burnt to the ground , and they left to perish of cold and huDger . Though but a poor man myself , ana never had the advantage of being fent a Sunday scholar ,
yet there are maaj in the police that bsve seen better days , and fill the situation that they ara now ia because they have no other . As a member of the Land Company I could vtiah myaalf on the land , where I could ba more profitably and healthily employed than in the situation that I now fill , exposed to night air , which la injurious te health , and to the scoff * of the public in general .

THE NATIONAL PETITION . The following letter , testifying the devotion and enthusiasm of the people , has been received by Mr
O'Connor : — "Wo , the inhabitants of the Villago of Coalsnaughton , assembled in public meeting , on the 13 th of March , aid adopted the National Petition , and by reading yonr letter to the meeting * in the Stab of Maroh 11 th , wa at 6 ttee ehos » a committee of twenty , determined to do to the utmost of onr power to . swell tie Petition . Nest day no sot to work , the population ot the village amounting to about seven or eight hundred , and every man and woman , electors and non . electors , signed the petition with but two exceptions , the one a tilly creature of » schoolmaster , the other a poor labourer . We nest
paid attention to the outskirts of the surrounding polishes , wWeno petition sheets had bean distributedthe parishes of Alloa , Clackmannan , and Dollar—and got every man and woman , with few exceptions , to slgB , likewiBo the' navvies . ' on the railway , we may SBy to a man . There are a few of the Old Guards belonging to this village , working at Forth , iron-works , a distance of ten miles away ; they sent us word that there had been no names taken up there , We lost no time but set off with petition sheets , and gat tho Old Guards to work with ourselves , and the result was from thirteen to fourtsen hundred weavers , which would have been all lost had we not repaired thither .
We had a raeeting-on Saturday last with Tillicoulirj and Alva districts , and agreed to meet oh Monday eren . ing to choose a delegate to carry our sheets to Edinburgh , our number of signatures being 3 , 038 . Thinklag our work was over we were Viappy ttiat wo hud succeeded so well in getting so many signatures , but it turned out 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 been entirely aegleoted ; we imm - di&tely 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 ono Quarry we got about seventy of your countrymen , besides what we got on the railway , and by six o ' olock wo bad 1 , 312 signatures , which makes our number in all 4 , 350 . Now , sir , as you have offered a reward of fivo pounds and the flag which 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 toe reward , wo , in public meeting assembled , do heartily agree that the five pounds remain in your hands , to be disposed of as you may think proper , but we would be proud to obtain the flag .
Tho nest step we ore about to take , is a letter to Gen , Morrison , the representative for the counties of Clack , mannan and Kinrosa , to be signed Dy all our electors , requesting him ts support the Petitlou .

TO , TEE IDITOB OF TUB W 0 ETH 5 BN STAB , Sin , — . About half-past seven o ' clock yesterday morn , ing , the men employed in the locomotive and carriage departments of ths Eastera Counties Railway , at Stratford , wera not a little surprised by a request from some of the offieoi' 3 that they would ouvol themselves fi . 9 epe . clal constables—a magistrate being ready for that purpoos at tko Swan Inn , Although the men had not been apprised that any such steps wero in contemplation , they , without any previous concert or arrangement , individually refused—each asserting that he was ready to do all in his power for the protection of the company ' s property , is the oventofits being attacked , but would never consent to upheld the existing order of things , or to resist the pseple in their efforts to obtain political enfranchisement , which , if a worn as a special constable , he would bs required to do . They sympathised too much with the movement going forward—with Europe at large—to do that . About twelve , Mr Roney , tho
secretary , called five or sis Into tho offico , and endeavoured to persuade them to comply , but it was unavailing—and a meeting of the shops being called in the dinner hear , it was unanimously resolved ;— ' That we will , at the risk ef our persons , do all in our powor for the protection of the oompany ' s property , which we can do quits as ofliolently without an oath as with one—but we will not consent to be sworn in as special constables . ' I am happy to aay nothing has since bsen heard of tke matter . Truly , sir , the minds of those who bslievo that working men are destroyers , or abettors of those who destroy property , are much abused , Tell your employers , fellow labourers , as wo told ours , that you know tbe rights of property , and the dutios of citizens too well to become anarchists and despoilcrs ; that you respect justice too muoh to be unjust to others , in your endeavour to gain that freedom which will conduce to tbe good of tbs whole ; and you will thus disabuse tbe minds of those who are imposed upon , ronssuro tbe timid , and spoil the machinations of tbe malignant .
Tbrougbout tho day a numbor of persons wereBworn in , but the groat mojorliy of tho working men refused , and many of those who took the oath were very reluoirmt . At ocven In Iho evening an opeu-ftir meeting , at which about 3 , 000 persons wero present was held . The mee ting w » b addressed by Mr Donovan , Mr Leach , Mr West , and others , who delivered eloquent speeches , which found their way to tbo hearts of tbe assemblage _ on the I * justice ef our rulers , the necessity of the Charter , and the duty of attending the Demonstration oa Monday . The greatest order and decorum prevailed ,
and the meotlns , evidently much gratified , quietly dlsparsed , and returned to their rospeetlve homes , Lualcronsly enough , a magistrate seated oa an omnibus drawn by four horses , paraded up and down the road , having the Riot Aot ready to road at a moment ' s notloe , but the worthy gentleman might just as well have xe ' . mained at home with his ' scroll of parchment , ' sensible people only laughing at him for going to ao muoli needless trouble .

The following address was reeeived last week , bui we could not then find a place for it ;—TO THE MERCHANTS , MANUFACTURERS , ANE SHOPKEEPERS OP NOTTINGHAM ; PBOM THS NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . ' Let there bo Union between us . ' Fellow Countrymen * We address you at this great and important crisis in the country , for the purpose of requesting your co-operation , and thereby effecting a union between the middle and working classes , which must regenerate this country , and redress our common grievances in a peaceful , legal , and constitutional manner . We hare been too long disunited . We have , although single in interests been made double in action . An aristocratic government , that neither knows nor carea for our losses and sufferings , have made it their principle to sow jealeusy and hatred between us , eo that they may the mora safely rule ub for their own advantage . This state of things we think it wise to have amended—not that we are without strength , courage , onion , and re .
SOtiroes , bat to prevent turmoil and revolution . We understand the necessity of a moral remedy for our sooial , politicnl ^ and commercial evils . We know full well that a peaceful change will best suit the interestfl , the character , and the commerce of onr country : but that cannot be effeoted unless the combined middle and working classes demand it . Our prayers , our petitions , our groans , and our agony , hayfrbeen met with loud laughter and tension by the aristocrats . We appeal to you to prove yourselves anti-revqlutionista by joining us in our just demand foran immediate concession to the people of the principles of the Charter . Had the whole people been in possession of the suffrage , and exercised it , only two years ago , the ealamitiea which have befallen us would not hare occurred , because , where
the interests of all were represented , the interests of all would have been protected . Instead of that , we find that the interests of the middle and working classes , both at home and abroad , hay © been wotully sacrificed , as the following returns of the Board of Trade prove : — The declared value of our exported yarns and threads , uiwhian we take the lead , because our capital enables as to purchase tho long staple wool and cotton , amounted , in 1846 , to £ 7 , 8-73 , 727 , bat in 1847 , it declined to £ 5 , 867 , 000 . The home oonsnmp . turn of manufactured goods , chiefly caused by the SKulS ? ™? i ? ? ' panted , in 1845 , , to £ 19 , 610 , 657 ; ml 846 it declined , as wages fell , to £ 16 , 881605 : a * d in 184 * , » nen there bKn S it were , half work , half wages , and in aome iastances , neither work nor wages , the home demand upon our manufactured goods has fallen to £ 9 , 6 O 0 , OOO . This
proves that we are on the sliding scale of ruin , and no wonder that you middle classes complain oi empty tills , diminished profits , and increased taxes . Yeu are bound inseparably with us . If wages decline , somuBt profits fall ; and if profits fail altogether , capita ] must disappear , and the means of employing us be out off altogether . Through ; the incapacity , ignorance , or design of the aristocrats , the principles of Free Trade have been totally perverted and destroyed , and all benefits rendered null and void . £ 83 , 009 , 000 of our gold have been exported , and our commercial firms have failed to the eiaot amount of £ 30 , 000 , 000 , simply because there \» as no Government or National Bank to accommodate our manufacturers . They , although possessing sufficient real property , could procure no credit ; The worjt ,. shops and factories wero olooed , wages ceased ¦ and home consumption dwindled , to the ruin and embarrassment of you , the middle classes .
The Charter would have prevented those deplorable results beoftuso the Intents of the people would have d . otated to them the absolute necessity of keep , ing factories and workshops in full work , by Rrantine immediate accommodation to you , the middle classes .

On Friday-night another crowded meeting of the Prs . teraal Democrats ef Liverpool was held 8 t tho Muaic Hull ' for the purposa of p « sjing resolutions calling upou tha J memberg for Liverpool and South Lancashire to support ' the National Petition for the People ' s Charter . The room was crowded to suffocation . Mr Plbtib , a working m » n , was called to the chair . : He said the working classes presented a strange ano . > ; maly ; they were ground down to the dust , although it j was their labour which supported every tyrant in exist . ence . It was tin labour of the working classes which suDDorted thrones .
Mr T . Johks moved the first resolution . He addressed the audience as ' brother slaves , ' Ha aaid . as slaves that Bight they had oome to ask their tyrants to do an act of justioe . Aa slaves they had oome to . ask their oppressors to strike the manacles « ff their limbs and Bet tha e * . ptWe frea . ( Loud cheers . ) Tbey had petStioneapetitioned , perhaps , too long . ( Hear , hear . ) For hi » part ha was sick of petitioning ; he would petition no more . The last petition to which he would ever append his nama would be rolled iqto the House of Commons on Monday next , to be treated , as all pralous petitions had been , with scorn and eontsmpt . Tha Tihes had called upon tho governmeat to suppress the Chartist Conven . tlon now sitting in London . Ho ngkad . would tha ; people Stand quietly by and see the last remnant of j their rights wrested from their hands ? ( Load cries a !
'No , no ! ' ) Rather than despotic power Bhould be al . lowed to cru 9 h their last libmles , he had resolved , come weal , come wo to use every means which he could com ^ mand , Tho welf preya upon tho lamb , th 6 vulture upon the dove , and the middle claig preyed upon the poor . If every man felt that his liberty rested in his own hands , twenty-four hoars would not pass till the star o £ freedom shone orer the laud . Should their petition ba rejeeted on Monday , he asked if they were prepared for farther action ? Were they prepared to mate themselves heard , and , if need be , felt ? If they were not , signing petitions was of no use , The speaker then proposed the firft resolution , which was ia adrocacy of universal franchise , and by which tha meeting pledged itself to exert every fuenliy of mind and body to aecaro the recognition of People ' s Charter as the thli right , by establishing th « basis of the British constitution .
. Mr W . M'Leait , au operative cabinet-maker , seconded tbs resolution . Dr Betmoids supported the resolution , Tho last speaker had said thai there s&onld be no property qualification ; and he said there should be no mental qualification fora speaker , if he had the spirit of man within hl _ and an arm to strike ^ a Mow in the cause of freedom . ( Vociferous cheem . ) He was a Young Ire . lander—one of that class of men who detested , and hated , and spurned the word ' petition .

Mr T .

GREAT CHARTIST MEETING AT "THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC _ INSiTh TUTE , JOHN-STREET , FITZROY- SQUARb .
On Tuesday , April 11 th , this Institute was again densely thronged . . . . Mr Luoa 3 was unanimously called to the chair . Mr Aoma , delegate for Glasgow , came -forward , loudly applauded , and said : Perhaps the best thing tbey could do was to review the proceedings and policy of the Convention . The delegates had been charged with acting a cowardly part : yesterday . ( ' No , no . ' ) They had the character of consistency to preserve aa well as that of courage . ( Hear , hear . ) They had professedly said that tho agitation was peaceful and moral , and yesterday they had turned out to give a demonstration of their peaceful moral force , not to give battle . ( Loud cheers . ) Although he was one of those who held the doctrine ' morally if we may , forcibly if we must . ' ( Loud cheers . ) But , he said , let us exhaust every moral means first .
( Hear , hear , ) True , he came to the Oenreatioc with his life in Ms hand , but still that was no reason he should commit suicide —( hear , hear)—and he did not think they had showed any want of courage . He had a letter in bis pocket which contained tbia : — ' I should sooner hear of your death than your cowardice . ' Hia sister , also , wrote as follows : — -I would rather lay your lifeless body in the grave than hear that 70 a were either guilty of being a spy or a coward . ' Now , this showed that his family were' up to the mark . ' ( Tremendous cheering . ) His constituency , also , left it witn him whether he should re » main in town or not . lie had never heard anything leas from any delegate , but that he was prepared to sacrifice all in their cause , and when the real day of trial arrived , they would all be found to aot worthy of Englishmen , Irishmen , and Scotchmen . ( Great cheering . )
Mr John Skelton 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 blood , the shedding : of which would have answered no good end , but would have made widows sigh and orphans mourn the loss of husband and father . ' Moral force waa more powerful than physical force . It was true government and all our institutions were based on physical force , and why ? because the minority made laws for the majority . Mr RourNBOir seconded the resolution .
Mr ChurchilIi camg forward to move the following amendment : — "That this meeting , considering themselves bound . to obey the orders of the delegates whom tbey have elected to vepiwsent them in ths National Convention , submit to the deoision adopted on Monday by their representatives , and have no doubt it was dictated solely by the best intentions , and by an earnest care for the people ' s good / Mr Dixon said it was no amendment . Mr Chdrohilii said he would speak to the amendmenti and then th ? y Gould judge whether it was an amendment oc not . All governments , exeept that under the Autocrat of Russia , were caking concessions to the people , whilst England was adding another chain , and that , too , under those Whigs who brought about the so-ealled glorious revolution of
1688 . Their liberty was not to be got in a day ; a class of masters was not te be converted in a day , — it would take time . Hecouldnotehuthiseyestothe fact { hat almost , fell great changes had been bough with blood . But he was willing to make tha attempt to create the events that would make England what she ought to be . IU thought they went to Keeningion Common with one idea in iheir heads , and eame back with another , hence he moved his amendment . ( Applanse . ) Mr Vernon rose to second the amendment , and said , he should be unworthy of iheir attention should he , in these times of danger , create disunion . ( Cheers . ) Mr Yernon added some cemntents on the proceedings at Kennington Common , and defended 119 own character from certain aspersions cast thereon .
Mr W . Dixon thought too much had been Eaid 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 force , let as care an evenness of action . ( Cheers . ) Mr Vernon , with permission , withdrew his amendment amidst loud cheers . The resolution wss carried unanimousl / , amidst great applause .
Mr DtxoM said , that in the National Asssembly , London would hava eight representatives . ( Cheers . ) Mr John Fussbll came forward , and proposed the following resolution : — ' That this meeting , having been apprised ef the intention of the base Whig government of England to carry a measure through parliament , having for its object the subversion ef the last remnant of British liberty—the right of freely expressing oar opinions , both by speaking and writing—we feel ourselves called upsn thns to declare our utter detestation and abhorrence of both the measure and the contemptible and brutal ministry from whom it has emanated , and 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 one , held at Farringdon-hall was equally , glorious . He had heard that they hat been unanimous and determined . A gagging bill was about to be passed , at the instigation of Sir George Grey ; but that was a reason why he should speak stronger and louder . ( Immonge applause . ) The motion was then put , and carried unanimously .
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman ; three cheera for the Convention ; three for the Charter ; three for Feargu 3 O'Connor , M . P . ; three for Ernest Jones , and three groans for the Whip . — This splendid meeting then separated auietly .
