^ ~~~^ TEE NATIONAL PETITION . \( puycoJJEX has given notice that on the 25 th . ha mil present the National Petition to T . Commons . We think this & very judicious ^ gemtBt . It will afford the ConTention time 6 inT 555 the members , and it will afford ! L country time to double and treble the ^ -ber of signatures now affixed to it , if there . ^ jjien or women enough in the eonntry who * goj signed . Stir , then , Btir ! Every one to uj pen . Every one to his sheet . Sign , and ask hi $ -jjrfcbonr * o syja . Let it be , indeed , a Naiio . val potion , worthy of the name . At this crisis be than
^ kg can more important that AfcTpetrion should be more nnmeronsly signed ^ yer was petition signed before . One thing j jgold be noticed particularly . In sending off the Ljtions from the respective towns to Mr . Drs-^ 5 ^ each town may sen d as man y as it pleases , tat no single one must weigh more than ^ jgen ounces . All above that weight ^ charged postage . Mr . Dckcokb * has -irady paid a considerable sum for postages in fth wif- Tl ^ must De avoided . If any town finds jg petition weigh more xhan sixteen ounces , it nut be divided into two or three , as the case may
js ^ ure . Besides the National Petition to be sent to jjj , Doc ombe , it would be well to inundate she gflase f i' » - simi ^ petitions , of an individual and jpeal character , signed by ones , twos , threes , fours , mil so on . Lei ^ em S ° by thousands ; find work , a ; jjjS , for the pos ; -ofice clerks , vrhom you are Bide to pay - Let the relatives and friends of every political rpsonex ins ^ mily transmit to Mr .

The time they have to remain accord-382 to sentence ; the treatment they have received , tf d are receiving ; their state of health ; the number age , and circumstances of their respective frillies ; and every other necessary information ; K thai justice may be done to their several cases , nisi tie petition is presented .

Hswever , the " bloodies" taking defeat to be as certain as it was merited , judged that their friends woald be left in a minority , and resolved upon sympiihy by anticipation .

" Remember , when the Whigs had tbe power to repeal the Corn Lavs , they always resisted any alteration of them ; they propose now to repeal them , in orde ? to get your sympathies , to enable them to ecuterm in the possession of place and pay .

above all we have ever written , prove the strong union and great sympathy which now exists among the working classes ; not npon mere personal matters , but upon general principles . Here we find strangers to the New Poor Law taking the word of their brethren as their guide , and actually cheering the return of the proprietor of the Times newspaper , because their brethren of Nottingham , consider his , even his , return as a stab in the side of the enemy . They Bay this measure must be a Bearing iron to the souls of our English fellow-labourers , a serpent , a scorpion , a dagger , a devil , else would they never join in the return of a Tory to mark their condemnation of it . If the Learned Advocates mike no better defence for their other clients , God help the clients ! -We rejoice to see Lowhbt once more in the straight path : we were convinced that his error was bnt that of momentary anxiety to deal any even a , ioo hasty and injudicious blow at the old offender . He has now got them right beftre him , and let him leather away .

" No doubt it will be said , in the present unsettled slate of trade ire shall not succeed ; I say tee must and shall succeed , if you will but have the will to set about the work with the spirit of people determined to be Jree . With a cheap publication , tee shall be enabled to dispel the dark mists of ignorance which prevail , to a great extent , in the great nailing and colliery districts , and show to the minds of all parties what are
the principles of the glorious Charter , and what are the duties of men , and what will be the result of succeeding in the sacred work we have so nobly begun . But how is it to be d « ne ? Hotr 1 Why , here it is in a few words : £ 50 it ill be sufficient to start it and keep it upon its legs for some time , when the profits will enable us to still continue at the glorious work of enlightening our fellow creatures . How must we get the i . ' 5 O ? Why , by having 200 shares at 5 s . each share . And cannot we find 200 Chartists in the three large counties above mentioned ? for instance , Birmingham 80 shares , Slourbridae 20 , Coventry 20 , Worcester 20 , Bromsgrove 10 , Redditch 10 , Wolverhampton 10 , Staffordshire Potteries arid other places 30 , making up the required number , which , to be paid by instalments , would injure no one ?

Can Henry Edwards , of Bradford , refer us to any respectable "known" Chartist u-ho will substantiate the story he has sent us about the little boy and the "dirty waste ? " This is certainly much too gross a case to past ; but as we do n «< know Henry Edwards , we must have it confirmed before we can comment upon it .

Wednesday Evening , May 12 . Nothing can exceed the political and polemical excitement Which at this m « ment exists here . All our halls , little and great—all our private meeting placesin fact , every place calculated to bold an assembly 1 b engaged ; and there is not one hour in the six days , aye , and in many instances , on Sundays , that there is not a public meeting held by the political partisans or polemical { raspers . But not a single solitary meeting ia held by those parties to elevate the condition of the working classes . The West India planters are holding daily meetings to guard against their ill-gotten wealth , which has been accumulated by the sweat of the slaves ' brow . The men in power , her Majesty ' s Ministers , are holding humbug ticket meetings for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and in favour of the voluntary principle ; bothol which are to be their hobbies at the next election . The bloated bishops , the pampered parsons , and all the
other black slags , are holding meetings for the extension of the revenues of tbe , church , as by Jaw established , as they say if they are touched the holy structure of Christianity will fall to the ground . At the late meeting , held at Willis ' s Rooms , for the extension of colonial bishoprics , the benches groaned under the weight of the noli episcopari gentry , or , as they call themselves , the " unwilling bishops . " But mark the difference ; nt the meetings for the Sailor ' s Home , for the Mendicity , for tho Shipwrecked Mariners , for Distressed Females , anrt numberless other charitable objects , lately held in the Metropolis , not a single bishop or dignitary , and scarcely one clergyman , appeared . As a } straw shows how the current runs , so this desertion of their flock , by their pastors , clearly indicates that the latter will be exposed to the rapacity of the woWes , unless the flock protect themselves ; this , with the blessing of God , they will do , as the conduct of tbe plundered , deserted , insulted , starving , yet patient , industrious working classes proves .
Amidst all this political and polemical excitement and turmoil , the People ' s Parliament are quietly , peaceably , and determinedly discharging their solemn duty . Their conduct is winning for them praise , even from their enemies , and is commanding attention from all quarters . Their labours are incessant . They are occupied from an early hour in the morning , to a late hour at night , in their different offices , while the only rivalship that exists amongst them , is the rivalship of serving the good cause ; and . unanimity marks all their procedings . Not content with canvassing members , sitting on committees during the day , and attending the Convention from five till seven in the evening ; they are at night engaged in addressing public meetings .
On Monday night , a public meeting was held on Clerkenwell Green , Mr . Spurr in the chair , for the purpose of considering the awful position of the country , and the best means of remedying it . Messrs . Wall , Martin , Skevington , and Birmby , attended that meeting , delivered ( speeches , and moved resolutions in behalf of the tax-ridden , enslaved , and insulted people of England , and ultimately proved that " be who allows oppression , shares the crime . " After the meeting , Inspector Penny was busy in arresting a parcel of drunken fellows , who were no doubt introduced for the * purpose of Riving that blue bottle gent an opportunity of boasting that he captured a number of Chartists . Inspector Penny ' s plan will , in tbe long run , prove not worth a farthing . On Monday
night another meeting was held at Mr . Foxes , Frogmore , Wa , nd 8 worth , Mr . Howett , in the chair ; Messrs . Williams and Kose addressed the meeting at great leng h , on tke Charter , the treatment of the prisoners , and the delicate state of the health of Bronterre O'Brien . The meeting pledged itself to memorialise for Mr . O"Brien " s release . A policeman in disguise was detected in the meeting , but suffered nothing beyond that of hearing a few unpalatable truths . The meetwas crowded to excess . Ou Tuesday night a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Tower Hamlets , Whiteehapel , which was attended by Messrs . Ruffy Ricil j , Smart , and Skevington . Three resolutions were passed , viz ., for supporting the National PatitioD , sett n the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and
pledging the meeting never to relax their exertions until the Charter be made tho law of the land . The three delegates tuldresseri the meeting , and were listenenert to with the moat profound attention by the assembled multitude , who sympathized most siricerely with the imprisoned Chcriists . On Tuesday night , another meeting was held at tho Horns , Crucifix-lane , Mr . Matthias in the chair . Messrs . Morgan Williams , Cullum , and Rose attended the meeting , and were most loudly cheered during their addresses . Mr . Brown also delivered an address . Resolutions were adopted pledging the meeting to present a memorial for Mr . O'Brien's release , te support the National Petition , and to do every thing to forward the cause ot tho people . — On tbe same evening , a third
meeting was held in tho cause of humanity , at the Anchor R > om , Bath-place , New Road , Mr . Faa . sel in the chair . The meeting was crowded by the inhabitants of St . Pancras , aud was addressed most eloquently , powerfully , and effectively by Mr . Marly , Mr . Balls , Dr . M'Douall , Mr . Morgan , Mr . Martin , and Mr . Barmby . This is a tolerable specimen of the untiring determination of the delegates to work in season and out of season in the great , the grand , tho virtuous , and patiiutio cause . The few true men who are now reprtpenting tbe people in London , have pledged themselves never to cease their labours until they work out the redemption of the working classes—until they secure the full exercise of their just and fair rights and privileges , and until they ore enabled to stand in the
noble position of free-born Englishmen . The Convention scrupulously avoid all angry collision with any party , anci without making one enemy , aro creating in all queers hosts of friends . The people aro cheerful in responding to the call of the Convention , and are proving that their ( the people ' s ( pewer is next in strength to that Almighty Being , alone , who in the Majesty of his greatness , called that power into existence . Let the enemies and soi disant friends of the Chartists say what thfy will , the Nottingham election has taught " the powers tUat be" an awfully moral less » n that reaches tbe heart and the soul as well as the understanding of aristocrats , autocrats , and tyrants . Chartism is tbe most awful h'and-gronade that has ever yet been thrown into the allied enemy ' s camp ; and all dread its explosion .

that I am to discontinue my efforts to obtain the whole twenty shillings ? By no means ; I am as mnch a Chartist as ever , and perhaps morj sincere in the advocacy of the people ' s cause than a great many of those noisy , - bouncing , new-fashioned , mushroom politicians , who are , by their conduct , doing all they possibly can to stamp with disgrace the cause which is already losing ground , by having creatures in tbe shape of men for its advocates , who are a nuisance to any society to which they belong . The paragraph to which I allude also says something about bit-by-bit reform , and my assisting the middle
class on certain occasions . All I have to say in reference to this part of the subject is , that I have never assisted in anything bnt the obtaining of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland , with a £ 5 franchise , and an entire repeal of the wicked corn and provision laws of this country ; and if it be a political sin in this our day—in the nineteenth century , to be the advocate of equal laws and real justice for Ireland , and endeavour to obtain for the people cheap bread and cheap food , I am perfectly willing to resign myself to the fate that awaits me . I have done nothing but what has been done by men who were far iny superiors—who were an honour to the csuntry which gave them birth . Let those creatures ' who are the greatest enemies to all reform—who are constantly going about seeking whom they may devour , because certain persons differ with them upon subjects so important as tbe repeal of the Corn Laws , read the very valuable writings of a Cartwright , a Cobbett , and a Hunt ; all of whom spent their lives , and some of them large fortunes , in endeavouring to shew to tho people of this and other countries that we were cursed to the very earth by high rents , high taxes , and high usury laws . Let the people of this country look at the glaring fact that the aristocracy , in tbe years 1815 and 1 S 1 G , passed a Corn Law , which has secured te them , being about 30 , 000 in number , a sum of no less than from twentyfive to thirty millions per annum . Ought not every man , woman , and child to call long and loudly for the entire repeal of a law at once opposed to the Holy Scriptures , to the laws of nature , of reason , and of justice ? They also got a Bill passed , exempting themselves from the further payment of the property tax . which , in tbe last year of its existence , raised to the revenue £ 15 . 227 . 5 O » , thereby entailing misery and destitution cm the great mass of the people .
Why should the people who were once united under the banners of Universal Suffrage and no Corn Laws , in the memorable days of Mr . Hunt , be now divided and split into factions oppositions , upon a question , or questions , which to them are of the greatest importance ? I was always led to believe that Universal Suffrage meant Universal Liberty of conscience , of mind , and of body ; but it now appears that that which Mr . Hunt thought was right In 1815 , 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 , those who call themselves Reformers in 1841 , think wrong . Man , the noblest work of God , is no longer at liberty to think , or speak , or act ; but in conclusion , I will take the liberty of making known to the world my determination to retain my opinions upon all questions , whether political or theological . I beg leave to subscribe myself , A Chartist Corn Law Repealer , James Greaves , Saddleworth . Austerlands , Saddleworth , May 10 th , 1841 .
N . B . In the Star , of last Saturday , I saw another Bmatt paragraph , also from Oldham , in reference to a Corn Law meeting , which took place a short time ago , at Waterhead Mill . I beg that you will just be so kind as to remove a very bad impression which it has made . The manner is which that article is penned , evinces the very worst of feelings on the part of the man who wrote it . One Lees , the writer says , took the chair , —a factory master . Quite true ; but who is this one Lees ? Why , Sir , it was Mr . John Lees , a very respectable , kind , humane , benevolent , and charitable cotton master of Waterhead Mill—a man who is universally respected and esteemed ¦ by all who know him . In a word , there is not a person who knows him , who will not at once manfully proclaim , that a better man and master does not live in our neighbourhood . I ask you , Mr . Editor , is it fair ? is it at all consistent with the feelings of a Christian and a man , that a man like Mr . Lees , who is so esteemed and beloved ,
not only by his own work-people , but by all who know him , should be treated with contumely by men who know nothing of him , and who are perfect strangers in the country ? I was present at the meeting at which Mr . Lees was chairman , and—mark well what I say-Mr . Ltea obtained for every speaker , whether in favour of or Against a repeal , a fair and impartial hearing . He put it fairly to the meeting , for aud against , and very truly decided that the motion for a repeal was carried by a large majority . A person in the body of the meeting called out for a vote of censure upon the Chairman , but the moment it was heard by the meeting , a vote of thanks was proposed , and carried by the acclamation of a very great majority of the meeting . 1 enn vouch for the truth of what is here stated , and you may depend upon it that what appeared iu the Star of last Saturday , on this subject , is an untruth from beginning to end . I remain , yours , James Greaves .
[ We insert this letter becanse Mr . Greaves having been attacked in the Star , we think it right that he should have the liberty of defending himself . — Ed . 1

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES . Fellow Slaves , —Every day brings fresh proof that you have no real friends amongst tbe so-ntlled middle classes ; for if we are to judge of them by their conduct , we can come to no other conclusion . Refused as we have been every place for Mr . Stephens to preach in , we are compelled to submit to necessity , ana take the only spot of ground we can avail ourselves of , depending on the voluntary contributions of those vrho alone can appreciate tbe objects of Mr . Stophena's visit
to these parts . Countrymen , our objects are benevolence and utility ; the first being for tbe benefit of that truly patriotic friend of the sons of toil , Mr . R . Oastler , who is now confined in the Fleet Prison for debt , and who is confined there for his advocacy of the rights of labour ; for if he had advocated tbe side of wealth , he would have found numerous friends amongst the rich and the great , who would have soon released him from duracce vile , and have placed that man in affluence . Com * , then , and show by your liberality that yo ; i , the s . ; ns of toil , can duly appreciate his worth .
Our second object is to raise money for the erection of a Working Man ' s Hall , where we can hold our meetings , free from the petty obstructions now thrown in our w . iy , by those whose whole wealth is the produce of our labour . We urge on you the necessity of the case and the sacredntss of the cause ; nor will we doubt the liberality of our townsmen . A tea party will be held in tho Saracen ' s Head Assembly Room , on Monday , 17 th of May , at Bve o ' clock ; and after tea-a public meeting . Our objects are well known , nor will the considerate aud patriotic ever refuse their support . By order of Committee , John Richards , Secretary .
N . B . —It is most earnestly rtquested that all persons who may be employed in any way in money matters will not fail to make up their accounts on \ ioniay night , 17 th instant , in order that a balxncu sheet may be made out and submitted to the public .

THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES .
Never was there a period more urgent in the annals of our country that we should perform our duty than the present demands of us to do . If we but exert ourselves as men loving liberty , there is every prospect of oar obtaining the release of all political prisoners , aud the Executive feel satisfied no government can long resist the just and reasonable demands of the p < ople , if the people , by their virtuous and united efforts , wish to do justice to themselves . One hundred M . P . ' a have promised to support Mr . Duncombe ' s motion , e ( which he has given notice , for the 25 th inst ., its purport being for tho release of all political prisoners .
Fellow Countrymen , now is the time for the people to decide whether tbe Convention shall continue its sittings another fortnight or not Tho Executive ar * of opinion that immediate and active steps ou ^ ht to be taken to raise funds to maintain their representatives in London for two more weeks , when the Convention sh'ill have performed its mission , and then the oienibera of that shall return to their respective constituencies to give an account of their stewardship . Fellow Democrats , if we love liberty , if we really feel for those victims , and their families , who hare bo nobly and fearlessly advocated the principles of truth
and humanity , we will support the Convention . Let us never forget the banishment of tbe patriotic Frost and his fellow sufferer * . Let as remember the torture endured , mentally and bodily , by the good men who are now immured in cold , damp dungeons ; and , above all , let us bear in mind , if we perform our duty as we ought , the priucipka of our sacred Charter shall again be brought permanently before the country ; hoping , therefore , that each and all of us will do our uauo = t towuida raising funds for the completion of so holy and sacred an object , We remain , ^ Brother Democrats , Your sincere Friends in the cause of Chartism , James Leech , President Richard Littler .

To it , and it alone , 1 allowed you to put my name ; but you had the effrontery to attach it to your rigmarole of Household Suffrage , &c &c . ; and , seeing that Daniel ami hia tail are giving you . their support , you may depend upon it you will be sold like the factory children . It , and other public acts , makes him detested by all true Chartists .
Now , Mr . Editor , you will see from this that I detest their damnable document , as calculated to divide and destroy Chartism , which is out of the power either of men or devil to do .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —If yon wi . 'l be so kind as to publish the following in your next , you will oblige your constant reader , J . Greaves . In perusing your paper of the 8 th ult ., I was not at all surprised to see a . small paragraph , purporting to have been sent from OMliam , by tbe Council , announcing to tbe public that my name had been erased from the plan of Chartist lecturers ; I can assure the public , through the medium of their own paper , th : it it is quite true that I moved a resolution , at a meeting held in my own native parish , Sa ^ dlewerth , in favour of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland ; and in order that the public may be put ia possession ef facts , I hereby subjoin the resolution , which I arn proud to . say f had tee honour to move at the meeting in question : —
Resolved 1 st " That the peopleef Ireland have an inalienable right to the same privileges as those which are enjoyed by other portions of the community ; and though it is admitted the number of electors are much fewer , in proportion to the whole population , there than in any other division of the uaited kingdom , yet we ate astonished to perceive that an attempt is being made still further to diminish them , by throwing vexatious obstacles and impediments in the way of exercising the elective franchise . " The foregoing is tbe resolution which I moved at
the Saddleworth meeting . I still think I did right in doing so ; and if ever the time should come , whrn I should again have the opportunity of assisting to obtain the legislative rights of our sister country , as well as those of my own countrymen , I shall always ( health permittiBg ) be ready to assist in furthering the great and glorious cause of reform , whether it be for Ireland , for England , or any other part of the British dominions . I am favourable to Lord Morpeth ' s £ b franchise , ( which was contemplated in his first Bill , ) so far aa it goes ; but because 1 take 15 s . in the pound from the person who owes me 20 s ., dees that imply
