ThB National Pxtttjo * . —Our publisher , Mr . Hobson , ha * printed the N&tienal Petition for 1842 , on a neat sheet ' , far the purpose of being extensively distributed among $ t those from whom signatures are asked , that they may know for what they are signing . He is ready to supply them to the Associations and to individuals at the following charges . —100 copies for 2 s ; 1 , 000 for las . Petition iheets , of good strong paper , ruled in four columns , and holding two hundred names when filled , may ako be had , price 2 d . each . The Petition and sheets may also be had from Mr . Cleave , London ; Messrs . PeUon and Love , Glasgow ; and Mr . Heywood , Manchester But in aU cases iht money must be sent in advance—the price being so low as to preclude credit .
J ., Bristol , writes us" Sir , —Tonr unexpected shower of thanks , from ¦ which I hs-re scarcely recovered , I am obliged to accept ; but hope yon will allow me , publicly , through your columns , to state , that I am not in the least mistaken as it respects the Star , ei its able and worthy editor or proprietor-, neither did I ¦ write reports to serve , and therefore did not expect thanks from that quarter . My political labours nave been to serve my order ; and ta I drew to the class of my P . S . hi the last fetter , circumstano&s connected ¦ with my political career crowded on my mind , ¦ which forced the last word , nntianked , ' -which did BOt in the least refer to the editor of the Star . In return , I beg of yon to accept my humble thanis . "
We hope our friend , tehose favours tee much value , did not misunderstand its ; our simple meaning was , thai that teas the first opportunity ire had had ( if publici st acknowledging his many favours "W k . Wildgoosb wtihet to call ihe attention of the good and honest democrats of Derbyshire tchert associations art formed , to the necessity of raising a fund , if possible , to extend the labours of that talented advocate of the working doss , Mr . Bairstow , to these places where the sound of Chartism has never been heard . He instances Darley Dale , Bakewell , Ashford , Longstone , Baslow , Curben , Hucklow , Bradwell , Castleton , and many other villages , containing some o f them one or two thousand inhabitants , where Chartist lecturers are much wanted .
Jo zy Whitwobth , in an address to ( he hand-loom weavers , slubbers , and shopkeepers , of Rochdale , strongly recommends the organisation of joint-stock companies for the purpose of . miUua ! support and employment ; and we would as strongly support his recommendation . Tosb&idge , L . KST . —The Brighton friends have received a cheering communication from Tunbridge , of which we give the following : — "There is a society here , consisting of above fifty members , all sound and thorough-going Chartists : it has existed above four years . &nd has been the means of doing great good in this neighbourhood . The only meeting in Kent in favour of the National Petition snd the People ' s Charier was held in this place f ail east a county meeting . ) We obtained 500 names to the Petition : we had a
meeting , like ^ ctse , and scut a petition for ihe release « f the political prisoners . At the first meeting we had Iwo delegates of the Convention present .

Haklts , 81 , English-strut , Pottery , Hull , offers to supply the Chartists of Hull with gor-d boots and shoes , at reasonable prices , and give five per cent , out of his receipts to the Executive . Q , Okhoxd . —It is dear the lad has a right to his week's wages ; but not quite so clear that a magistrate would give it him . Besbctw e . M'Bouall—The Chartists of
Manchester write us to deny the statement of Mr . Benbow to the Committee in London , that he stopped in Manchester mghtwcekt , teaiting of ike Council to bring ihe matter to tome decision . They my that after his application to the Council , a depution waited upon him , at his residence , and informed him thai the Council had communicated ¦ with AT Donation the subject , and that M * Douall teas willing to meet htm before any general meeting of the members ; to which Mr . Benbow replied ^ that he would do no such thing , as he was convinced that , in consequence of M DoualCs popularity and his recent tour through the country , every old woman would cry out he had dene right by advising the prisoners to plead guilty .

P-, Rochdale . —We think a second reference to the notice trill show him that he and his friends
labour under a misapprehension : he -will see that pen-ties who wish to have the portraits may-make their own selection , and leave out any one to which they have an objection . . Middjusbo' Chabtists write to ask whether their letter sent to the Star office for F . O'Connor has been received , and , if so , why has it not been answered ? We cannot tell whether it may have been received or not . Hundreds of litters for Mr . O Co 7 fnor have been received arid forwarded —theirs may or may not have been among them .

MANCHESTER . —Axotheb E . nceoachment upoj < the Labocrijjg Class . —Last week a scheme waa introduced at one of the largest cotton mills in this town . A number of females were employed on ringle frames formerly , but now they have coupled them together , and thus compelled one woman to perform double work for the same money , and for every frame thus altered s female had to be discharged . Those left , finding that more work had been put upon them , determined to ask the master for
more money , who , by way of reply , asked them how they could forshame think of such a thing as expect even a sixpence . At another mill they have discovered a plan to clean under and about the spinning frames , thu 3 doing away with the scavengers . It is fiaid that this has been resorted to because under the late Factory Act , " they wtra compelled to give them education . The result of the scheme being brought into full operation , has been the cause of a large number of boys being drivea into the streets . Improvements are daily going on .
ED 1 NBTJE . GH . —London Masoss—The slaters of Edinburgh have transmitted through their president , the sum of £ 7 as a donation to the masons on strike . STJXili . —The operative masons of Hull , lately in the employ ef Messrs . Myres and Wilson , have struck in defence of their right 3 . On the 6 th of November , their wages were reduced to meet the shortness of the days ; and now they are wanted to work all the day-light there is , for three-quarters of a day , which is , at this time of the year , a full day , according to the custom of the trade . The threequarters of a day would only be at the rate of four days and a half per week , so , by such reduction of time , they would only have 18 s . per week , a reduction of six shillings per week in their weekly wageE .
On Chbistmas Dat , at three o ' clock in the afternoon , a iecrure will be aelirered at No . 8 , Church Side , Hull , on the character , person , and mission of the Lord Jesos Chrisc , and on the teachings and tendency of the Christian Religion , in its personal , social , and political beaiicgs , by the Rev . William
Hill . HUDBEBSFIELD . —Mtstebious Case . —On Tueco&y morning week , Sarah Rooley , a female in the service of Mr . Peter Trumble , painter , Buxton Hoad , was found in an alarming state ot illness ; and after being put to bed , a surgeon was sent for , to whom the confessed that she had that morning been delivered of a child , which she had left in the privy . Search was immediately made , but no trace of the body could by * ny possibility be discovered . The affair coming to the knowledge of the police , Mr . Jonathan Leeeh went to take the young woman into custody , but finding her in such an exceedingly weak state , he , by the advice of the surgeon , deferred for a short time her apprehension . However , on Sunday morning her friends had the young woman conveyed away , and the authorities are now at fault as to her place of concealment .
Robbeeies . —Very numerous are the petty robberies that take place in this neighbourhood during the prevailing darkness of night , indeed it is not so much to be wondered at , as regretted , seeing poverty spreads itself first around the district that is said to be the mother of crime . On Monday night last , some person or persons broke into a whitesmith ' s shop of T . Turner , and took therefrom a large bunch of skeleton keys ; and last night , the cellar of Mr . Crowther ' s house , at Fixby , was entered , and large quantities of wine , spirits , aad victuals of various kinds , was taken away . Considering the masses that arc out of employ , and their desire to live so long as they can possibly obtain food , the greatest wonder is that there axe so few , which proves one thing in favour of the working classes , < £ iz . that the ; have a greater desire to work than to rob .

BRADFORD ^ -Attempted Assassination . — On Thursday night , the 9 th instant , an attempt w& 3 made Io shoot Messrs . C . and E . Waad , worsted manufacwrers , of Bradford , as they were leaving the mill in Portland-street , abont six o ' clock . The party who fired the pistol stood within four yards of them : the ball only just missed the top of Mr . C . Wand ' s shoulder , and was picked up the next morning , having struck against the wall , and fallen down by the sid « of it . No clae whfttew is known ae to who is the guilty party .
Alabm op Fibb . —On , Friday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the ringing of the fire bell alarmed the inhabitants and the fair goers , and on the whereabouts being announced , an immense crowd hastened np Manningham-lane . The scene of the fire was on the premises of Mrs . Atkinson , widow of the late Mr . Atkinson , bookseller , of this town , and situate in Spring-gardens . The origin of the fire is yet involved in mystery , for when discovered it was in the centre of a bed , in a chamber in which no fire had been , to Mrs . A . ' s knowledge , during the day . On the arrival of the Commissioners' engine , some individuals were engaged in forcing the bed through the chamber window into the garden below , and there did not appear at that moment any necessity
for its employment . Having , however , found water in the cistern , the firemen prepared for operation , and in a few minutes commenced throwing water in at the chamber window ; whilst this was going on , some individuals ascended the roof , and , under the impression that the fire was in the false roof or cockloft , began to pull off the slates , but it was discovered that there was no fire there , and the engine ceased to play . The smoke arising from the burning bed led to the idea that more fire existed than really did , and the bed being got rid off , the smoke cleared away . Mr . John Sugden , brother to Mrs . Atkinson , remained on the premises during the night , and felt satisfied that no fire existed in any part of the dwelling ; but what renders the circumstance the more
mysterious and singular , on Saturday morning a fire broke out again in the closet or wardrobe , where , during the night , no fire could be detected in the slightest degree . This was speedily overcome ; bat the accompanying circumstances are yet not accounted for . —During the previous evening nothing was missed as having been stolen or taken away but a silver w » tch ; but after the fire in the morning , it was discovered that some silk dresses and a long boa were also gone . The police have since investigated the premises , and some Ttffriftifnii TBartai hava hp ^ a riiflcoYered , which' suggests the supposition that some person had been concealed on the premises . Strange rumours ate afloat , but beyond this nothing is certainly known .
LEEDS . —Stealing Coals . —On Saturday last , a youth named William Cenroy , was charged before the Borough Magistrates with having at various times , but particularly on the day previous , stolen a quantity of coals from the corves on the tram road at the Leeds -coal s ; aith , the property of Mr . Brandling , of Middleton Hall . The offence was proved by two or three witnesses , who each saw the lad take the coals , and he was committed for trial . Damage . —On Saturday last , an old offender and poacher , named Emanuel Potts , was summoned to appear at tho Court House , for having wilfully cut down and destroyed a young beech tree , growing in a plantation , the propeity of Christopher Beckett , Esq . The defendant did not appear to the summons , and the case having been proved , he was fined £ 5 , costs included ; in default of payment he will go for two months to Wakefield .
Committal . —We stated last week , that the shop of Mr . Cookson , plumber , &c , of Chapel town , had been robbed of a quantity of tools , brass taps , &C . Part of the property waa during the week found at the shop of Mrs . Allen , in Marsh-lane , who said it had been sold to her by a young man whom she described , and who was subsequently apprehended by the police . His name is John Crareb Fielder ; he was brought up at the Court-house , on Saturday , and committed for trial .
Embezzlement . —On Tuesday last , John Ctobbland , of Stanuiugley , was fined by the borough magistrates , at the Court House , £ 20 and costs , for having been found in possession of a quantity of white warp Blubbing , supposed to have been stolen from the premises of Messrs . Walsh and Paget , of Ye&con Gill . In default of payment , he was committed to Wakefield for one month . The property was so disfigured as to destroy ail chance of identity , though there is no doubt it was part of that stolen .
Robbkby . —On Tuesday afternoon , the dwelling house of Abraham Crowther , of Alwoodley , was entered by thieves , who stole a silver pint , cream jug , and six tea spoons , marked A . E . C ., two pairs of sugar tongs , and a table spoon , not marked , five tea- Bpoons , marked G . S . N ., and £ 2 5 s . in money . The robbery is supposed to have been committed by two navigators , who left the waterworks on Saturday night , and who have been lodging wuhCrowiher for some time . ... ... ^ ..- ^ .-,-- .-WAKEFIELD . —Stabbing Case . —On Monday last , William Beaumont , ef Nether Shitlington , labourer , wad brought up at the Court House , Wakefield , before the Rev . E . H . Brooksbank , and J . F . Carr , Esq ., charged wnh ooUtagtrnd stabbing John
Kay , of Middle Shitlington , carpenter , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . The prisoner had been remanded from the provions Monday , the prosecutor being at that time unable to appear against him ; indeed , he was still in so feeble a state , that it was not without Borne difficulty and assist ance , that he was enabled to reach Wakefield , on Monday . Mr . Sykes appeared in support of the charge , and Mr . Wainwright attended on the prisoner ' s behalf . Prosecutor stated that about ten o ' clock on the night of the 3 rd inst ., he had a scuffle with the prisoner near Thomas Wild's house ; they had quarrelled previously , and had had several scuffles ; they first quarrelled at Senior ' s pubJiohoube . Witness had hold of the prisoner when near Wild's house , and he felt him draw something over his ( witness ) face , upon which he fell siek . Thoy
had been turned out of Senior b house about an hour before this , whin they had a scuffla , in which witness lost his hat , and the prisoner left him seeking it ; they met again about an hour afterwards , near Wild's house , who is brother-in-law to witness , and where witness had gone to borrow a hat . The prisoner said " he'd make himself leather witness before he went home . " Witness said he did not want anything with him ; the prisoner then seized him , and they had two or three rounds ; in the last of these , witness got prisoner against Wild ' s house , and he v-as then cut as before stated . The Magistrates baid it was a case that must go before a Jury , and the prisoner was accordingly committed to answer the charge at the ensuing York assizes . He was , however , admitted to bail , himself , in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each .
Sudden Deaths at the Wakefield Asylum . — On Friday last , an inquest was held at the Asylum , before T . Lee , Esq ., on the body of George Hey , sged thirteen , who died in that place on the previous morning , from tho effects of epileptic fits . Deceased was the son of James Hey , of Bradford , pipe maker . Verdict accordingly . On the same day , another inquest was held by Mr . Lee , at the Asylum , on view of the body of John Dickinson , who was found dead in bed , on Thursday morning . Deceased was a blacksmith by trade , and before he came to the Asylum re&iued at Scrivenmorth , near Scarborough . On the examination of the body , by the surgeon , it was found that there was an extensive congestion oi the vessels of the brain , which was the cause of death . Verdict accordingly .
LIVERPOOL . —Fire . —On Sunday morning , at three o ' clock , a fire was discovered in a warehouse , in Wild-street , belonging to Mr . Jones , London Road . The alarm was the greater , in oonseqsecce of its being known that there was a quantity of blast-powder , deposited on tbe first floor . The floor was on fire , and an attempt was made to persuade Mr . Hewitt , on his arrival with the fireengines , not to enter the street ; but that excellent officer , considering that the speedy suppression
of the fire was the grand point , drove on , and in a lew minutes , succeeded in gaining a position secure from danger , in case of an explosion . Mr . Jones arrived in a few minutes , and , at great personal risk , rushed to where the powder was deposited , and flung it into the street ( four casks ) . The fire was completely subdued in about an hour . It originated among some straw , the lower part of the building being used as a stable . Mr . Whitty , Mr . Maxwell , and other officials , were promptly on the spot . —Liverpool Standard .

Churchwardens of Hackney by Church-rate contests , intimates that three hare already taken place in that-pariah in the course of the year , and that a fourth is to come off on Friday next to cure the parson . Since the last defeat , the Rector of the parish , the Rev . H . H . Norris , has been in indifferent health , and it is understood that recourse to renewed agitation is how had as much with a view to his perfect restoration , as to the ordinary purposes for which a Church-rate is made . We defy Jonathan to beat-this .
TraKk of Dumbarton and Neighbourhood , — This ancient county town is suffering severely from the present depressed state of the shipping trade , upwards of two hundred carpenters and joiners being out of employment . But Dumbarton is not alono id this respect , Greenock and other ports on the Clyde presenting a similar decline in ship-building . The Dumbarton Crown Glass and Bottle Works , " however , forms an exception , the proprietors proceeding steadily in the increase of their mauufacture , thereby affording a portion of the population Of the town a handsome remuneration for their labour . We have nothing favourable to note regarding the printing in the Vale of Lfiven , as many hands still go idle . —Edinburgh Chronicle .
Lawyers and Painters . —A sign painter carried a bill to a lawyer once for payment . The lawyer , after examining it , said , ' * Do you expect any painters will go to heaven if they make such charges as these V I never heard of but one who went , " Baid the painter , " and he behaved so bad , ' they determined to turn him out , but there being no lawyer present to draw up a writ of ejectment , he was allowed to remain .

State of Trade , —The market continues exceedingl y depressed ; and rather lower prices , both for goods- and yarn , have been praty generally submitted to . We understand , however , that the very low rates now current have had the effect of causing some speculative inquiry , both in yarn aud goods . There have been , during the past week , several failures at Glasgow and Paisley , two of which are of some magnitude ; but we understand that one only is likely to affect this neighbourhood , which it will do to the- extent of about £ 14 , 000 . —Manchester Guardian , of Wednesday .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is » gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , aud debility arising from Syphiltic dis ? ase ; and is calculated to affora decided relief to those who , by early indulgence > in solitary habits , have weakened the powers ef their system , and fallen into a state ef ohronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder- 'of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous
practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —suoh a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive tbe impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself I
the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the whqlesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and uuhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony j and striking at thevery soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation , ; and the debility and disease resulticg from early indiscretion demand , for the cure oi those dreadfol evils , that such medicine should be employed that is
most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs :. Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who by a&jmjBOderate iudulgence of their passions , have / fc ^ Knad their constitutions , or in their way to the cons'nmmation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that , betray its approach , as the various affections of' the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &c . ¦
As nothing can bo better adapted to help aad nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastiDgs , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling « r shakiajj , of tba hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness oTbreath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowuess of spirits ^ dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; aud all kinds of hysteric complaints ate gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juioes , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity .
This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial Static , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the iuEoeent-offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price Us . each , or th 9 quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 s ., by 'which one Us . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ,, Surgeorts , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham .

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per box . ( Observe the signature of R . and L .

loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Strofulous or Venereal Taint ^ being jastly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and
gour . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men ; who , by the use ot Hj » , deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcorations , blotches on the head , face , and bod y , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sora throat , diseased nose , with noctural pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility , of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death poti a period to their dreadful sufferings .
