" That & deputation of ten good men , from the various towns of Great Britain , be sent op to London , to meet there on Ae 12 th of April , to be called ' The Political Prisoners' Liberation and Chartist Petition Con-Yention . ' 2 . " That Hi . P . M . M'DouaU is a fit aad proper person to represent Oldham in die forthcoming Contention , to sit in London . " 3 " That the petition , which appeared is the Star of March 20 th . be adopted , " i . ** That a tea-party take place is the Chartist Room , Greaves-street , on EasWr Monday ; tea to be on the table at four o ' clock in tht afternoon . " After tea recitations , songe , and dancing will take p lace , for the entertainmeat of the evening , whan the band will be in attendance . KAXCBESTER . —A meeting was convened to
be held at Tib-street room , ofl Wednesday evening to hear R . J . RiehardsoQ deliver a lecture on the Repeal of the Union ; but owing to unavoidable circumstances , that gentleman could aot attend . As many repealers had come on purpose to hear a lecture , it ' was suggested that Mr . John MtrOWan should address them , who kindly consented , and did so for a considerable time , in a strain « f eloqnent and manly argument . A resolution to the effect that the Chartex would be the most effectual means of accomplishing the Repeal of the Union ; and an amendment , that the repeal agitation Bhould proceed unmixed with any other agitation ; were both pot , and afterwards withdrawn , to the satisfaction of all parties . A debate , in which several speakers took part , was entered into during the meeting , in the best possible spirit . Repealers and Chartists left the room with every manifestation of food fueling u > each other .
KETTON . —Public Mektikg . —This hot-bed of Toryism was vbited hurt Tuesday evening by Mr . Bairstow , the Derbyshire Char tist Lecturer . There is not a single " Star" that ever illuminated thia town . Mr . Baintow aent the bellman round through Repton , Milton , and WOlington . From all these places numbers came , who appeared anxious to hear , while some desen of young aristocratic prigs , schoolboys at the celebrated Tory school here , had armed themselves with canes and sticks for the purpose 0 ! attacking Mm by brute force . Thia being evinced prior to the commencement of Mr , B . ' s address , he began by asserting bis constitutional right publicly and peacefully to enunciate his opinions on any and all political questions , identified aa were such question * with the life , liberty , and happiness of the people . His remarks , contrasted
with the brutal opposition of the young aristocratlings of the " heddication" cesspool , elicited loud cheers from all the labourers present . Mr . Baintow then fairly launched into his subject , and exposed the abases of the Whig and Tory factions , and touched upen numerous tther points ; and argued seriatim , point by point , the People ' s Charter , in a most masterly and convincing style , -which brought bursts of repeated cheering from the audience . He concluded by bidding his audience a " very good night . " In reply to ¦ which , an almost unanimous response broke from the entire meeting , " Good night , " "God bless you , " " When will you come again , " aad hundreds of hard and blistered hands absolutely struggled to grasp Mr . Bairstow ' s hand , and gave him , on departing , three rounds of cheering . The young priggish achoolboys sneaked away ashamed , one by one , during the lecture .
SALFORD . —There was a lecture in our room on Sunday evening last . The room was actually suffocating . The whole borough is getting alive ag&ia . The co-operation system adopted by the Chartists here is the only practicable and just one established . Some families save as much as foorteen-pence per week in their present provision dealing . A conversation , to the following effect , took place between a provision dealer and a Chartist during the past week . We will not mention names : — Shopkeeper^—What is the reason , Mr . Chartist , you do not get your flour and bacon from me as formerly ? Chartist—Because I can bay them of as good a quality and much cheaper than you will sell them to me . S . —How do you prove that—I buy as cheap as anybody else ! C . —Nay , but you do not ; you get all your stuff 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 , go and buy our provisions wholesale ; by this means we save 2 d . on the dozen of flour , 2 d . on a pound of bacon , Id . per pound on candles , 2 d . per score on potatoes , and other articles in like manner . S . —Oh ! you will get tired of such work , you may take my word for it . Some one will run aw » y with your money . C—Never fear , Mr . Shopkeeper , that is what you want . Ours is not & store where there is any great
sum of mosey in any body ' s hands ; we have bow three houi . es , where we divide our goods among ourselves ; we are determined no longer to be fools to be patting money in the pockets of shopkeepers , to keep them laxy and idle , to clothe their wives in silk , and their daughters in satin , while ours are in rags . Good bye . Mr . Shopkeeper . S . —( alone)—What the devil will become of us f These fellows , since they have commenced studying 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 must 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 mored , and Mr . Richards Beconded the following resolution : — " In consequence of the long-tried , unceasing , and honest exertions of Mr . Campbell , secretary to the present Executive , in the cause of democracy in Salford , that we consider him a fit and proper person to be Dominated as a candidate for the permanent Executive of the National Charter Association abont to be elected .
PRESTON . —On Friday evening last , the Chartists of Presten met in their Koom , Avenham-street , to hear a lecture from Mr . Batterworth , who in s pt&in , * traigbU forward manner exposed the conduct of the Moneyinongers and Profitmongers , and contended that neither -life , limb , nor labour would be p ^ retect * d by the law , in the same manner as the property of the higher and middle classes was . Ho then in a very sarcastic strain unmasked those clerical hypocrites who gull the peeple by preaching " passive obedience and noo-resistance , " who , living in affluence , have the effrontery to tell their hearers it is the will of Divine Providence that the great portion of Ki&nJrind should be poor , and that they ought to submit is patience and not complain . After
exhorting them to union and energy , be concluded a most instrnc ive lecture . —The doors of tie Association Room were then thrown open to the public , as had been announced by pl acard , &c to take into consideration the propriety of adopting the petition that appeared in the Star , and deTirfag means for the expences of the convention . Mr . R . Watson being voted to the chair , 3 ir . G . Halwm read the petition to the meeting , and , after making a few remarks on the propriety of agreeing to it , rnoTtd its adoption . Mr . £ . Swindlehnrst , in a seat speeeh , seconded the proposition ; which was spoken to by JJr . S . Mnrphy , and unanimously adopted . Sheets for signatures are laying at the Association Room , Ayenham-street , every evtsninjr after six o clock .
BIRMINGHAM- —An able discourse wa * delivered on iunday evening last , in t » e Chartist Meeting-room , Freeman-street , by Mr . W . Dean Taylor . Previous to the chair being taken , Mr . T . P . Green read Mr . 0 Connor s letter on Christian Chartism ; it was loudly and repeatedly cheered , the females being the most enthusiastic in their plaudits . The room was well attended and promises to work wonders in this town . Fbost , &c , Restoration Committee . —The above committee held their weekly meeting at the Chartist-room , Freeman-street , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . Bridges in the chair . Mr . Jacob Hawkins
and Mr . John Moore , of Trowbridge , were elected honorary members . Letters were read from Mansfield and Cardiff , the latter accompanied with 5 s . and a memorial . It was resolved that all memorials should be forwarded to Mr . Guest as soon as possible , in order to have them ready for presentation when the deputation arrives in the Metropolis . A discussion took place on Mr . Moir * s letter , and the secretary was instructed to correspond with that gentleman , if possible to induce him to act with the deputation , as he was approved of by the various public meetings throughout the country .

THE NEW " NATIONAL" MOVE . TO THB EDITOR OP THE JiORTHER . t STAR . Lambeth , 4 th April , 1841 . SEAR Si& , —It is extremely painful to my feelings to be obliged to appeal to my democratic brethren , through the medium of their own journal , on tho present occasion ; but having considered it my duty to struggle fur years against a party who , dressed in the garb of friendship , have systematically proved themselves to be our greatest enemies—in fact , the only enemies we have to fear—and fearing to create disunion when there was the appearance of co-operation , I have been cautious of giving publicity to my long-settled and deep-rooted conviction , that these political wolves in sheep ' s clothing were acting as a drag chain on the wheels of the Universal Suffrage waggon , and that too in
its uphill efforts ; taut making its application the more severely felt—a eouvictiun which is the result of a close association with , aad a careful observation of the conduct of these gentlemen , for the last five years . But now , when their plan of eppoaUion to tha . national will has assumed a tangible form , and there f | jb » longer any danger of my causing the disunion , tD * y having disunited themselrea , J think it would be unwise in me to let this 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 tneir energies , and weaken their unanimity in the most complete organisation , and most approved system of agitation , which has ever yet existed among the working people of this or any other country .
I received the other day a circular containing an address to the " leading Chartists of the United Kingdom , " requesting their signature and co-operation in forming a National Association !! for the political , moral , and social improvement of the people ; but , instead of signing this document , or descending to a personal correspondence with any of the six con .-pirators , whose names are attached to it , 1 rather choose thus publicly to disclaim lay connection with this party ; to protest against the vile attempt to break through the phalanx of tine hearts and strong arms which now surround and protect the citadel of Chartism ; and to denounce the base and servile tools of the " base , brutal , and bloody faction , " who thus lend themselves to the performance of the ungracious tusk of burking the movement , under the specious pretext of improving the political , moral , and social coalition 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 that by the formation of another , having ostensibly tbe same objects ? This , to say the least of it , snitlls of O'CoDnellisni so strongly , that , in my opinion , the omission of his name to the circular in questiou , is an error which ought at once to be remedied ; and , for my part , Mr , Editur , I cauaut allow these praters abont the ignorance of the masses to lay the blame of tbe evils , which arise chiefly out of the vicious legislation of the highly-educated and very
immoral aristocracy , on the shoulders of their more rirtuuus , though i # ae educated , brethren . And , to tell you the trutb , Sir , I should be very loth to trust mj children to be taught morals at snub a BchooL As to the educational department of tbe 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 Bith , who has evinced such a sympathy for the poor , that he would throw them on their own resources with diminished means , and give them cheap tread , more work , and less wages , by a repeal of the Corn Laws .
In order , therefore , that we may know our friends , the names of these three patriotic gentlemen ought to be added to the list of six which grace the frontispiece of this new ediiion of the Penny Mafosim , which ia to divide the sheep from the goats , and lit and prepare us to receive our full measure of justice . Now , with all due deference to the superior knowledge of these immaculate teachers of morality , I cannot discover such a vast amount of crime of any Mtt among the clau to which I belong as should , on a comparison With those who at present poaaew tha power of being dragged or driven to vote for their masters , disqualify us to exercise tbe rights ot citiaeoauip . Indeed , I am perfectly satisfied that any comparison of the kind , would shew such a balance in our favour , as would convince our sapient , would-be-achoolmasten—these of them at least who can afford to be honest enough ta act according to the- dictates of sincerity—that their
labours ought to commence with their employers , and , like tbe peat moralist of aid , cry aloud against tbe crime * and wickedness committed » y those in authority—scourge the money-ohanfws from ttw tempi *—Bcououaoa vow against the oppressors of th * poor , and those who , by adding boas * to hou « , deprirt their brethren of their fair « hare of th * ampU and continual feast which the God of all bai provided for ail ; and baring silenced tbe scribes and pharisees , and the great expounders of the law * , who live by lying and deceit ; and having by these means procured an abundant supply of food for a starving population , then let them tarn to the poor and preach contentment , and their labour will be light Let them have but the power to improve their political aad social condition , and then let them look for morality * In the contented mind , in tbe reciprocal performance of social obligations , and in the amelioration of the institutions of our
common country . In the mean time let us press onwards in our straightforward comae , taming add * neither to ^ the right not

tite left ; and having justice for the foundation of out claims , troth and sincerity as the rule of oar argument , we cannot fall in ultimately achieving our freedom and securing our righto . And as to these moral philosophers , we can well afford to make a present of them to Dan or the Corn Law Repealers , and I therefore suggest that they be disposed of accordingly . I am , Sir , your very obedient servant , H . ROSS .

A letter ww read by tbe Speaker from Sir R . Stopford , aeknowledgiag the vott of thanks passed by the House of Commons to himself , and tbe officers and men under his command . On the motion or Viscount Palmerston , it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn until Tuesday , the 20 th ot April . Lord PALMBRsroK , in reply to a question from Mr . P . Howard , stated that the Portuguese commission for the settlement * f the claims of British : subjects were still occupied with preliminary inquiries , which required to be brought to a close before any of those claims could beaettled .
Mr . EWABT 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 tha United Kingdom . The Hon . Gentleman , at gieat length , Stated the practice in foreign countries , oontendiaglhatthe greatest advantage must accrue to Great Britain from the adoption of the continental system . One great advantage that would follow tbe adoption of bis motion , would be the establishment of public libraries , the want of which , was a reproach to the character of the country . Mr . W . S . O'Brien seconded the motion , and eontended that the next duty of the State , after that ef the protection of life and property , was to make provision for the instruction of the people .
Sir G . Grky said he should not be doing justice to a question of sneb importance if he entered fully into | t in a House $ 0 thin ( about fifty members ) . He believed tbe state of the House was to be attributed to the day on which it was brought forward—the last before the adjournment—and to a belief that 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 Hoa Friend , because , after the recess , a report from the Committee of Privy Council upon the subject of education would be laid upon tho table , which , would give very full information on that subject ; , and might prove to the Hon . Member that the necessity for tbe 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 tbe estimates on education would be before the House .
Mr . Ewakt acceded to the suggestion , and the motion was accordingly withdrawn . Mr . Humjc then moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the present state of the national monument * and -works of art in Westminster Abbey , ia St . Paul ' s Cathedral , and in other public edifices ; 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 . MACKMVOir was of opinion the adoption of tbe motion would be conducive to the public welfare , though be waa apprehensive lest it should be considered as the adoption of a principle that all cathedrals should be 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 . Inslis made some observations iu opposition to the motion , though he was quite aware it waa useless for him to do ra in the thiu state of the House , and more particularly so as it was supported by her Majesty ' s Government Lord MoRFBTli , in allusion to a remark made by Sfr R . Iaglis as to a risk to which the cartoons in Hampton Coart had recently beea exposed , said that the Chief Commissioners of Woods and Forests went recently to Hampton Court , and he believed precautions were now adopted to prevent any danger 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 the steam-boat Carolinethe Noble Lord remarking that a discussion might embarrass existing negotiations . The House then adjourned .

OLD PARR'S LIFE PILLS . THE READERS of the Northern Star are particularly requested to read carefully the following account of the BENEFICIAL EFFECTS of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , in Leicester and the Neighbourhood : ¦—The following facts have been mentioned to Mr . J . F . Wihks , 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 dub surgeon said he was in a consumption , and would never recover . He began to take these Pills three months ago , previous to which he had been confined to his b » d six months . The Pills first brought away a great deal of offensive matter , and then he gradually recovered . Can now walk about without a stick , and thought it bis duty to make it known . He called again afterwards , and begged that his name might not be published , as it might offend the olub doctor .
The wife of Mr . Brown , in Fleet-street , had been in a low way for some time ; she took the Pills regularly , and soon found her spirits more cheerful ; and her sight and hearing , which had been affected , were improved . She said they were pleasant to take , not causing a sickly feeling , or giving the least pam . , Miss Evans , Chatham-street , is a mender in a warehouse . Had been much afflicted for several years , and notable to domore than two hours work in a day . She took the Pills , and soon waB improved in health , and could see much better . She now works her regular hours .
Mr . Henshaw , of Bagworth . kad been long subject to palpitation of the heart , and could not walk uphill . Had the advice of an eminent physician in Leicester , but was not better till he took these Pills , but now ia quite recovered . The wife of Mr . J . Frost , at the same place , was so tormented with a cough , that she could not sleep , bhe had taken the Pills , which had done her , her husband said , a " world ef good . " Mr . R . Vann , of Belgrave , had been ill five years of palpitation of the heart . Had been in the Infirmary , and under several physicians and surgeons .: Has been gradually improving since he took these Pills , and is uow able to work . Mrs . Turner , of Whetstone , had found them very beneficial for the scrofula .
FROM MB . CLABKE , OF PETERBOROUGH . Peterborough , March 27 , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —During the last fortnight I have sold nearly one hundred boxes of Parr's Life Pills , and the good effects produced by them have been most astounding . One person who ha 3 been 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 obliged to go to
work , they would completely cure him . Another person who had a bxd kuee , said that they had done her more good than all the doctors . In fact , I have 110 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 not , I could with ease obtain a dozen mora such cases , with the names and addresses of the parties . " I remain , Gentlemen , " Yours respectfully , ' "J . S . CLARKE . "
Spring and Fall . —The spring and faJl of the leaf have been always remarked as periods when disease , if it be lurking in the system , is sure to shew itself . The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body , and in this state of inactivity their evil to the system is not perceived , but at the spring these are routed , andif not checked , mix up and circulate with the blood , and thus the whole Bystim ib contaminated . These pills takeu ihree every night for two or three weeks will rid the body of all that is noxious , and produce health and comfort . Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly advised to try them at this time of the year ; in a lew days , they will perceive the powerful clearing properties they possess , and thus be induced to continue them . Recently , a remarkable case where a gentlcmaa was so dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic disorder as to be quite unsightly . -: by a
patient undeyiating course of these pills , his system has undergone a thorough change , and his skin is now as fair . and sound as of a healthy child . The fall of the leaf also is a time when the system , relaxed by the heat of the summer , would be highly benefited by » few weeks' course of tha p ills , two or three every night ; these will clear off sour and bad humours , waieh heat invariably generates . The liver , which generally gets sluggish , will be put into healthy actioa , 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 . Maay other eases have been mentioned by persons who have purchased the Pills . Indeed , the very extensive and increasing sale of this useful Medicine , is the best proof that can be desired how highly it is appreciated . . , ¦ . . '
;; . , . \ Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders , in Boxes at Is . l ^ d ., 2 s . 9 d ., and 11 s . A list of Agents , aad further proofs of the value of this Medicine may be seen in another page of the Northvrn Star .

TO THB EDITOR OF TBE LEEDS MERCURT . Sir , —Your ungentlemanly attaak upon my character in the foul-mouthed language of Billingsgate , as exhibited in the report ot mj address deHrered at the Cbartifit meeting held in the Cloth Hall Yard , after the Com Law meeting nad 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 in business on my own account in Leeds , entitled to . and ever exercUing , my right ot voting ( or Borough Members of Parliament ever since the Reform BUI ; 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 .
After being four yearaa teetotaller , and three times that number of years before the public as agratuitous lecturer and preacher of the gospel ef peace and good will toman , you may imagine I am not unknown . I get my living by hard working as a smith , and I have done work for aome of tbe most respectable parties in Leeds—one for the last thirteen years , another twelve , another eight , and many others for several years together ; now , let these say -whether I am a l » w blackguard or not ; and tbenth * world may believe it These know me , they know I pay for what I get , and as far as man can , owe no man anything but love . I pity such a poor creature aa yourself—compelled to resort to such wicked means to bolster up a false and oppressive position . Was there ever a paper so filled with lies , as tbe Mercury ot last week , and you , a professor of tfie religion of Jesus Christ too—you are a precious specimen of a professor—a blind leader of the blind !
1 question , after all , your ability to injure me , you are so well known to be a common and unprincipled liar ; but no thanks to y » u on that ascount— " your purpose sftod is equal to the deed . " You have attempted to rob me of my good name to enrich yourself ; but the wicked will fall into bis own snare . What I possess I know -well how it o&s come ; and you should not be surprised if I object to the system of worse than highway robbery practised by the worst government that ever cursed the shores of Britain . Ia it to be wondered at , that with my blistered hands , I am become a Chartist ? My resolve Im taken , and if I can do it , the -whole fabric of corruption shall tumble down about your ears , and therefore I advise you to shift your quarters quickly—leave off lying—speak the truth , and then folks will begin to wonder , and you will be safe . Till then I defy you , and live Your unconquerable opponent , JOSEPH Pi&lER .
