      , „ ¦ - . ^^ B ^ . ii i r yju-jj . O'CONNOR . EXTR AORDINARY OVERLAND DISPATCH FROM YORK . We h&Te this week had an Overland Mail from the ar comtry of Dungeon-land . We do not think fc necessary to be very precise in pointing cat the ria : let Muter Phipps find that out as he can . Eaoag h , that we have thereby received voluminous ispatches from our Ambassador at the High Court of petty vengeance ; some of which will be found in oer presenr Number , and the re = t shall appear in das season . We need not claim attention from our reisers to whatever comes from O'Co ^ sos ' s pen ;

      fcr , we woJd point especially to the ingenious rason for submitting his improved style to authorattirre criticism , given as the P ^ S . of a letter to ihe Elitor of this paper . This is not badly pat . In traih , i » is most ludicrous that O'Connob should b » obliged to address U 3 by stealth , in the teeth of vz adverdsement and rsview of a periodical iTjirecJv pnbliihed for , and edited by , another political prisoner at this present time . Do not let B 5 be mistaken : we find no fault with the " privilege'' ( . ' . ) allowed to Mr . Steph'ess , and other political " offenders" —but we do protest against the paltry individual exception of O'Coxnos , as E ^ strons and contemptible beyond expression .

      We feel quite certain that the friends of freedom t * H be glad to see the use made by the captive of fce leisure , which his tyrants have ac-jrded him . Sere is one tuic ^ in his long letter which we regret , Kid from which we decidedly dissent ; the strong eosdemnation pronounced on what he calls u Bible Chartism / ' We hold the principles of Chartism to teiij contained in , and intulcated by , the Bible ; ind we hold a deep-rooted , honest , religious principle to be the best gnarantee for political and social honest ? , as well as for individual benevolence . It gives us great . pain to observe in O'Cosxob any principle from ¦ which we feel compelled to dissent ; bat , next to truth , perfect sincerity is our best darling .

      We bear that some of the ablest members of the Commons have undertaken vo bring the whole of O'Cossob ' s case before the House , in detail , this Session . It is a disgrace to any country , tailing itself Christian , that snch a man , for the alleged offence of which he has been convicted , should be subjected to the rigours of solitary confinement . He is the only political offender in solitary confinement in these dominions . Much good may their floating orer that facj do his heartless tyrants i

      THE NEW YEAR'S DAY DEMONSTRATIONS . The " Estabiishment'' and its votaries are knocked all of a heap by the New Year's Day demonstrations , finding that neither frost , snow , rain , hail , or wind can freeze the hot blood of young Chartism , or eool the growing desire for change . No wonder that an ignorant press should have so long misrepre-• ented the more philosophical teaching of "

      themarch-of-intellec ; " -Chartist 5 , when one and all axe lost in very wonderment at what they are pleased to call ihs vtry equivocal motto npen one of the tanners displayed at the metropolitan meeting , and which was , Oh ! legislators , why should cen unite to obtain justice ! : < Now , there is not an ignorant Chartist in the land , who would not translate this equivocal motto thus : " Oh tyrants ! is it not too bad that men should be compelled to t > e % for their own F

      That immense blunderbuss , the Weekly Chroriicle , t great friend to national education , has , from the aetropolitaa meeting , discovered an arithmetical process by which a part can be made greater than tie whole ] and which , no doubt , will be most serviceable in aiding the Chancellor of the Exchequer k leaking up for the deficiencies in the revenue . Friead Citron , tells us , that the " number at the

      metropolitan meeting may have amounted to about a thousand , - " "FIFTEEN HUNDRED of whom , he sayi , ONLY could find room in the place of meeting .

      Tories were desirous of in-: inuating . We C 3 n now I settle the controversy , by giving the real trulh from j Fbost hiisrtdf , as contained in the following letter I to Mrs . FitosT , which was read at the Bristo i meeting , and which describes the true position of i himself , and his two patriot associates in exile : — ' Pert Arthur , Tan Dieman's Land , 1 July 21 » t , 1840 . I Mi BEAKtST JUBT , — The worUa Norfolk Island I and Port Arthur convey to the minds of the English j people ,, places of extreme suffering . They are penal i settlement * , to which , generally , persona are Bent , who , j twing prisoners , have committed other offiincaa ia the j colony . The punishment here is great , but the persons | -who are sent bere are frequently old offendeis . There

      i are Tarious reasons assigned lor Bending vj to Port Arthur , but as it is impossible that I can be acquainted with the true one , I shall merely state the facta , I am j at Port Arthur ; a place to which the very -worst of j men are sent , and where human misery may be seen to , j probably , its greatest extent . I was not , however , j Best here for what u called pwtishmtni ; the Governor j told us repeatedly that we were not seat to Port : Arthur aa a ponishuient , but to fill certain offices . ! Williains is a Superintendent at the coal min ^ s - . Jones

      I fills a situation at the Juvenile Establiahnieut ; and I ; wn in the office of the Commandant , that k , the j Governor , of Port Arthur . I am acting htre as a elerk , | and hitherto tke labour has not been heavy . I am in ' excellent health—I never was better ; ana my ifirits are very good , considtring all things—much Letter than ' I could possibiy have anticipated . The climate is , so far as-I have seen , very gwi ; milder , I expect , than our | own country ; the situation of the settlement must be ! healthy , we having a fine open Iny before us . Indeed . | from the appearance of most of the prisoners , ami from i what I hear , I think Port Arthur is a very healthy , place .

      So much , my love , for this part of the subject- You are sff : ae that all letters s-nt from , and received by , every prisoner , are read i- > the Commandant , [ and though I believe-that that gentltinan would not be very p . irticu ' . ar in a correspondence between a husbiad aud a wife , jci it ia a great chtek to tLat freedom uf communication , - which , to l > i affrcii'jna > , must be unrestrained . Politics ar . i , I btflieve , forbidden ; yet it is a sul jevt very much connected with my affairs . Thenare variuut matters of a public nature which affect our situation *; 1 shall , however , leave that autject till I hear from England . I am of ths opinion that my letters will be perused by others besides the gentleman ¦ who rulesiere . I suppose the Coioxiial Secretary would be gla'l to hive a petp at the letters oi hu ol > i currespo ^ de nt . Well , 1 trust Uat if Lord John Kiusell should break the st-al of my letters , he will lave so much of ths gentleman ab « ut him , as to send them according to their address .

      I wrote to you , my dear Mary , from the Capa of Good Hope ; also to Mr . George Rogers . 1 hope yon havertceived them . I see that you received n < y letters sent from Falmouth . I believe , my love , that every thing is done for the best ; but omissions and additions do not dovetail well ; however , you are the best judges , exercise your own discretion , and be assured that your husband will believe that every thing is done for the bast . I have almost forgotten the subjects of the letter sent from the Cape ; it was wrirten in the hospital of

      the sh : p , amidst the tumbling and U ' .-vSing uf the vessel , and Eoise of aU sorts ; a pUce very unfavourable to corrrCtneii # f composition . Ywu were , and so were my friends , I d ^ re » ay , glad to hear from me ; and particularly to fiinl that 1 was in excl : ent hcaith . Von kaow how mucli I suffered , and ho * much I dreaded sea-sickness . S' . range , posing strange , thati » a voyage of sixieen thouiiud mi-. cs , 1 felt scarcely any sickness , cor was my s : omach ouco di * jrdt ; r ; d . Sj little do 1 now dread s ses voyage , that I like it . I should like , in a good ship , and in plea ^ jiit company , a voyage to uluiost any . part of the world .

      We arrived at Symond ' s Riy , Cape of Good Hope , on the 6 th of May , after a remarkably fine passage There were some ships of war intended for the China sipeiition . I had a lung conversation iritk some military and naval officers , s ~ me of whom were in England durirjg © or trials . The first Lieutenant at one of the gun brig * hid been to Ne * port- We left the Cape on the 13 th . The Doctor put into the harbour for the purpose of obtaining fresh provisions , ihe scurry having made iu appearajice on buajd v > ur sb . \ p . I tan assire you , my dear , that the Cape beef , although no . t the t *_ st 1 ever nvr , was very acceptable after our salt provisiem .

      We had 130 wind for sererai day * ifter we } ttft the Cape , and our progress was sIjw ; but aboat the latttr end of the month we had plenty of it The greater part of the month of June was exceedingly tempestuous On the bib . of June , Whitsuu-Monday , it biew great guns ; the oldestKulors on board scarcely ever recollected each & hurricane- Daring the night , many suppo »« . d that our danger was extreme ; the ship mn txcellent Bailer ) tumbled about merrily . The fore and main hatchways battoBed down ; tlis m ;» sa hatch opened a little to admit air to the prisoners , through , which opening the sea was pouring in stream * , so that the hospital , under the quarttr-cleck , was half nlltd with water . Tke ship ro < ie it out Wrll . The 13 th , lo ' , 18 th , 20 uh , anil 21 » t , weie ex-. etdin >? iy boirtorom ;

      however , on the list day of June , we anchored in theP ^ rwany , feefcre Hobart Town ; we were ex-. ct ! y fotu calendar months from England ; we left FaImonth on the last day of February . Hera we were sappAed immediately wnh frcih provisions , principally niuV . ta : ind though "vsh : i T . we Ii 3 d w . i * mncb ic / trior to oar English mutton , we thought it capital , niter the convict salt junk . The ntxt day our friend , the Doctor , "waited on the Governor , S . rJ jhn Fr&nk' . yn . and , I have no doabt , did every thing in his power for us . It is usual for the Doctors of convict ships to give each pri » oner a character , according to his behaviour en board the ship , and the cbarackr given haa some influence on the fate of the prioouer . "We arrived on the Tuesday . On the Thursday , ire were

      informed that the Governor would come on K-ard on Saturday , and that we should ai > be landed on the Monday morning . At four o ' clock , on Frid .-. y morning , we were told tti&t we must prepare to leave that day for Port Arthur ; we were rather astounded at this information . Pert Arthur ! a peual se ; Ueruent ; while , the most aHe men at the bar contended that we hadhad no legil trial , while our case wjs , when wejleft , bt-f . ire the House e > f C-mmona , tic . ic It was intimated , I' do not know how true , that these were instructions from the highest authority , and that it was intended to favour us . On the Friday coining , we were taken on board the colonial schooner . Elrxi , and soon after , the Governor came on board ; and his Excellencyaddrts » edus fora con-iderable time , pointing out the regulations under which we should be placed , recommending a certain line of conduct , and

      informing us rtpeattdiy , that we w ; re n > t sent to the penal settlement for punishment . As soon i \ s the Governor left , the ship sailed ; and the next morning , Siturday , the 4 th of Jnly , the ever memorable day , heldinsnch estimation in the United Suites , we were lanu ' ed at Port Arthur , the penal srttiement for Van Diemen ' s land ; we were taken into the Commandant ' s Office , where the regulations for prisoners Ws .-re renl to us . They are , nsy dear , w yon may suppose , pretty stringent ; btitlhaveno doubt that I shall btfcnaUed to observe them . We certainly were not treated as the generality of prisoners are treated on their arrival ; they are taken to tbe' shoemaker ' s shop , stripped quite naked ; all their clothes taken from them and burned ; they are then put in the prison-drees—generally yellow ; sometimes black ind yellow . We were not tn .-aled so ; we kept al ! otzt clothes , and we now wear some of ih ^ m . So far , there has been a great difference marie .

      I inform you , my dsar Mary , of these particulars , because 1 wish the exact state of things to fee kiiown . I understaad that a strong feeling was produced iii the colony by our being seat down to Port Arthur , and I have bo doubt that grtat indignation will be felt in England ; Scotland , and Wales when it is known . It will be said that we are on the chain gangs , and that we are treated as the vilest of the vile , I wish that truth should pn-vai ! , and for that reason I have stated facts ; God knows tbit the very best situation in Port Arthur is bad enough privation and suffering -, but our situation i * one of comfort , compared with that of many prisoners here . Yua , my dear Mary , and with many well ecacated &nd talented men ; however , my dear , I am , a * I ssid before , in good health and spiriti ; prepared , as far aapossible , to meet whatever is preparedfor iae . While you and my dear family have bean anticipating the worst respecting me , the imagination drawing pictures of hardship ! and suffering , very

      different from those I experienced , I have been engaged in the same work in regard to you ; and I hope with as little truth . The gre&tert misery I endured was in Monmouth Gaol ; fancying that certain thing ) would Uke place , and then feeling as if they had actually occurred . It i * on wise to be meeting coming events too favourably , because , as the mind is likely to be affected by anticipation , it is less able to meet a reverse . On the other hand , to be continually looking at the dark tide is to be placed in continual inUery . I need not tell you , my dear , that I am exceedingly anxioos to hear from you ; anxioui , very anxious , to hear of the welfare of my dear children , relations , and friends ; anxious to hear of the state of things in England—England , to which I am a * much attached as ever , even should f never again tread her shores . Her happiness and her prosperity ia , and ever will be , near » y heart . The post " leaves her « on Friday ; this is Wednesday ; I shall -close for the present

      Thursday morning—The post comes in to-day ; I hope I shall have a letter . I trust that my de&r children Trill evince a proper degree ot fortitude under our present circumstances : it is the only effectual mode to combat diSculties ; te young peop ' . t , particularly , troubles are blessings in disguise ; they prepare them for the ill * of life ; tliey give them coolness to meet dangers and difficulties , and many have been constrained to say , with the Psalmist , " It was good for me that I was afflicted . " I hope my dear boy wilt learn this lesson ; I bop © that he has learnt it ; he must eee Ihat hit mother and sisters are placed in a situation , which will require of Mm a manly conduct Desirous as I am of addressing particular individuals , I find it impossible ; were I to begin , I should be likely to omit some , which might give pain .

      LEEDS . —Court Housb . —Sack Stealing . —On S : iMirdajr last , Wm . Clarkson , brewer , and Henry Kirk , milkman , were charged with stealing several sacks and a quantity of hops , from the Queen Hotel , on the Roundhay road ; some of the sacks were identified by the owners . It appeared from the evidence of the policemen , that they found the sacks in a stable occupied by one of tho prisoners , the landlord of the Q / ieen stated that Clarkson had been in'his employ as brovver , but that he had dismissed him on account of dishonesty . The depositions of the various witnesses being taken by the magistrate ' s clerk , the prisoners were committed 'to the sessions . The prisoners then applied to be admitted to bail , and after several questions being put to them by the magistrates , they were ordered to produce evidence as to their former character , before such was granted . Kirk was bailed on Mouday .

      ( Another Musician . Louia Zecharroth was charged with pawning a piano forte , the property ot Louis Zsraggio . Considerable difficulty was experieuoed in order to arrive at the real merits of the case , both plaintiff and defendant being Germans , and not able to speak English . Defendant was understood to gay that he wauted nine months' wagt ; 3 from Zeragj { io , who had employed him at tho rato of eight shillings a month , with au understanding that ho should receive the whole proceeds arisini ^ from defendant ^ musical perambulations . Plaintiff ' s wife admitted that . they owed eight months' wa ^ es , but urged , by way of set off , that Z-charroth was in the habit of gambling and losing his money instead of handing it over to his employer . After a long palaver , during which the plaintiff bowed like a CtunoBo mandarin , it was ordered that the plaintiff should pay £ 1 18 i . to the defendant , and receive the ticket of the piano .

      Wilful Damage . —Jano Prince , a well-known travelling musician , appeared before the Boiicli , and charged a man , named Prii . ce , with wilfully breaking her fiddle , wSiilst she was " shewing off , " at the Central-Market liotd . Tho fiddle was then exhibited . The man stated he had offered to mend it at the time tho accident happened ; aud , upon his consenting to do so , that evening , the case was dismissed . A SioLEN Watch Found . —John Stonehouse , of Hunslet , appeared btifWe the Bench to recover a watch which , he stUed , had been stolen from his shop fifteen months since , and which was then : n the

      possession ot- the authorities . Policeman , No . 18 , deposed that , hearing a woman , then present , had a watch iu her possession , whi . h had been found by her Mm , who was also present , he got it from hor , promising , at the same time , that if an owner was 1 ' oHnd , ihe lad should be remunerated . Mr . Tottio questioned the lad , who statod that he found the watch when playing near Trinity Church . Stonehouse having told tho number , aud other particulars , received his watoh on condition that it Bbould be produced hereafter if thougnt necessary ; he was ordered to give the lad that found it , two shillings and sixpence .

      Suumokses Fon Wages . —The men in the employ of Messrs . John and Ciiarles Townsend , joiners and proprietors of asaw-mih , iu Wellington iloatl , and others , in the employ of Mr . Georgo Roberts , of the Britannia Foundry , appeared to show tho justice of their claims against their employers . The uames of the parlies summoned wcro several tim * s called , but it appeared they declined attending . Several other burr . mouses were applied for , but the magistrates declined granting them until they saw how mstttars stood with regard to those to whom they had already granted them . Some of the poor men waut from £ & to £ G for wages : onu of Messrs . Townsend ' s men stated that tho workmen wanted about £ 80 for wages , aud could not get a penny . As it was understood there were bailiffs in possession of the goods of both defendauts , the magistrates ordered liandley , the officer , to inquire iu ; o tUe case before they took any further 6 teps . Thin is poor satisfaction for the starving men and thoir families .

      Gambling . —Henry Ibbctson , l » ndlordof the Hope Inn , Hurley Road , was charged by a watchman with allowing gambling in his huuso . Tho watchman stated that he went into the kitchen of tho Hopo Inn , on Saturday evening , and saw two men playing at card ;* , but could not succeed in apprehending them . Mr . Tottie said tha . Ibbetson should choose whether he would produce the men or bo fined ; he preferred the latter alternative , and in consequence of a good characur given him by one of his neighbours , he was ordered to pay ten shillings and costs . LONDON .-Temi'krance . —The cause of the teetotallers is going on well in Bermondsoy . Meetings take place every Thursday orening , at the British and Foreign School Room , Great George-stroet .

      DURHAM . —A Bishop's Shirt Stolen !—George Miller , a young lad , was charged at Durham Sessions , the other day , with having feloniously stolen a shirt , the property of the Right Reverend Father in God , the Lord bishop of Durham , under the following circumstances : —The brig Syria was wrecked behind the North Pier , Sunderland , during the late Rale , and Captain Meuican and part of the crew wero drowned . A bhirKthat one wouKi have thought the Bishop would have bean ashamed to own , tor it was scarcely worth 9 d . ) was washed upon the beach , and the defendant bciiig down upon tlio sauds , picked it up , in the presence of many people , carried it home , through the streets , uncvncenica . and in broad daylight , never thinning ,

      for a rroiuent , that it was the property of tbo Bishop , or that a man , " not of this world /*" would have claimed a shirt that m » y a beggar would have refused as a gift . However , it having been proved that tho shirt was washeu up from the wreck of the Syria , and the owner of it being dead , it was claimed by the Bishop , as Lord of the Manor . The police , ever ready to catch a job , though a dirty one , went in pursuit of the poor boy , arrested him at his home , aud some Justice Shallow on tho bench committed tho youth for trial . To tho honour of the Jury , however , he was acquitted , and tho whole court , except the magistrates , was disgusted at the trumpery affair . Here is the county subjeced to an imineuse expence , probably £ 30 , over an affair that

      should liwer have been brought forward ; and we only regret that the verdict of acquittal was not accompanied wich a merited censure on the magistrates , who were so u . alicious , anil the Bighop , who was so greedy . It is the fiist time that we over heard of a Bisbop wanting a shirt , and especially one which , parhapa , had been a sailor ' s only shroud It is BcnvHinug hko robbing the dead , for we may fairly suppose that if the boy had not tak « n it when lie wanted one , that his " reverence" would , who could upver J-ave worn iJ , if he had got it . What do the Sumieiland magistrates mean 1 They ougir to have some kind of decency and propriety about them , for if the Bishop had asked them to look out

      for au old chirt for him , they noed not ; have allowed their chagrin to go so far ahead , because a poor shinies * boy bad not ouo before thkm . Will the Bishop pay tho law bill for tho recovery of his shirt ! After the disposal of the » hovi' . case , a nother indictment , against the pamo person , for stealing a pair of the Bishop ' s drawers , was actually preierrud ; thus en ' . ailing the cxpence oi a double prosecution The second iinjictmetit met with the fate of the first . The poor lad quieily and sarcastically a- ^ ked if they had auy more to brin ^ forward . This second affa ' . r was " too bad" for tho Sessions' Magistrates , the Chairman of whom ma-lo somo severe and just comments upon tho rcukiess watte of the public money thus displayed .

      Another Spccimkn op Durham Justice . —A boy , about ten years of as ?

      w . is not a particle of evi < J ; 'iii : e to show how the boy got the cap , except the boy ' s sia'eaient that he found it . The day was very windy , and the cap was blown past him ; fee caughs it , arid , not knowing to whom it belonged , kept it . Yet , upon this evidence , a jury found him guilty , and the bench sentenced him to fourteen days' coniineuient , seven , days to be solitary ! But why marvel ! The boy was a wandering tinker ' s son , and , therefore , must have been a thief . Here , then , is a fine sample of the vigilance ot tke new police , of the wisdom of juries , the justice aud humanity of the bench , tha econoooy of the law , and the liberty of the subject I

      HOLTj . —New Direction op the Temperance Movement . —Tho Hull Temperance Committee has taken a step which does them honour , and proves the great national and moral advantages derivable from that soundness in mental power , which must over result from habits of temperance .

      up the Society has for some time been manifest . The balance-sheet exhibited a profit of eleven per cent for the last half-year , or twenty-two percent , per unuum on the capital invested . At its commencement , the Durham County Social Institute met with its full 6 hare of opposition from the existing shofkeepers , who used every exertion to shut the managers out of the market , by threatening to withdraw their custom from such of the wholesale dealers a < supplied the Store with goods . The Sotfteiy , howover , ha triumphed over all opposition ; ihe ma uagers being enabled to purchase goods for ready money , whilo their opponents are compelled to buy upon credit , has convinced the dealers that they wou : d be committing suicide upon their own interests bv avoiding commercial intercourse with the Store " ; and the Chartists of Sunderland are determined to make the Society an efficient means of acquiring political and municipal power .

      ST . AJM > REWS .-Our M . P .-This distinguished personage lately honoured the electors of our " auld city" with a sight of him—certainly a very rare occurrence . It was really disgusting to witness tho servility displayed on this occasion by our self-styled " Liberal and independent constituency , " as their member , accompanied by his agent , actinic as a pointer , showing the hunter where the game lay , waited on them , shook hand ? , and theu retired ; for this was all the account ho choso to

The towa has recently been visited by several talent * , d advocates , whose exertions , combined with the powerful appeals made a few weeks since " To tha Working Classes of England , " in the spirited address issued by somo of the most eminent politicians of our day , has given to the cause a new impulse , and been chiefly hibtrumental in tho

" R ' ';> t" would just suit . But he will be disappointed ! No Riot !! " Peace—Lu . w—Order" must be our motto , and nothing must cause U 3 to sweive from it .

      Tne bare announcement that tho Chartists are coming to Leeds to " Welcome Dan , " has thrown the menagerie of " birds and beasts" into the most delightful confusion ! They suspended selling their tickets , determining to ^ iu * them only to theiroiyn creatures .

      Amongst other Jiei they have used , to sell their tickets , they have circulated , far and near , that Collins had accepted their invitation , and was to 09 present ! The Liars !
