      THE CONDITION OF FROST . We direct attention to the following extract from a leDgthy article on the horrors of transportation , in the current number of Cleave ' s Gazette . Let Chartists remember that their friends , f bost , Williams , and Jones , are now subjected to the atrocious cruelties inflicted in the land of law-made demons —our penal settlements . Dr . Ullatnorne says" The penal settlement of Norfolk Island ia a small Maud about s thousand miles from Sidney , to which convicts are re-transperted from N . S . Wales . Port Arthur ia also a penal settlement , to "which conTicte are re-transportsd from Van Dieman ' s Land , It is a peninsula , cut off from the rest of the colony except by a

      neck of land . This neck is guarded by a detachment of soldiers , and by a line of very fierce buil dogs , from shore to shore . These dogs have been 89 trained , that , en the least noise , they give the alarm , by day or by night , and so successful has "been this guard , that not more than two prisoners -were ever 'known to escape ; one of these "was taken , the other is supposed to have perished in the woods . The general description © f this peninsula is exceedingly desolate , and the convicts are employed in "working coal mines . There are above 1208 criminals in Norfolk Island , and nearly as many at Port Arthur . They art fettered with heavy chains , liarrassed with heavy work , and fed on salt neat and maize Oread . Their existence is one of desperation . At Port Arthur there are chain gangs in -which rigour is pushed to the utmost extreme of human endurance 'The work , ' as Sir George Arthur informs you , ' being of the most incesssnt ud galling description the settlement can product ; and any disobedience of

      orders , or turbulence , or oiher misconduct , is instaxtaneoialy punished tcilh ihe lash , ' So severe indeed , are the privations of theee men , so dreary and desolate is their state of mind , cut off from all communication except -with each ollrer , and deprived of every source of human enjoyment , raising their miseries as tfaey herd together , upon each other , without hope as "without help , so absolute is their despair , that the most dating attempts , thouib . commonly useless , are made to escape , and murders are even committed from a -vehement desire ef being relieved from their own intense misery . The late Governor of Tan Diemaa ' B Laud states two cases of this kind , in one of ¦ which the saan murdered his dearest friend , saying he vas "weary of life . I myself "witnessed the execution of one in Norfolk Island "who had deliberately , and without any malice against him , split open the stnll of his comrade with a spade when at -work ; be pleaded guilty , and declared that his Eole object "was to obtain

      Untitled Article

      his own deliverance out of life . Several such Cases have occurred . The tale Chief Justice of Hew South . Wales , when interrogated by a Parliamentary Committee , on the convicts of Norfolk Island , being asked , « Would it not be better to burn them alive ? ' raid , I ? annotsay if it were put to myself , I should not hesitate a moment in preferring death , under any form that you could present to me , than such a state of endurance as Norfolk Island . : " One unhappy man on the same island , when brought up to receive Eentence , wrung the heart , and brought tears to the eyes of his judge , as he exclaimed—' Let a man be what he will "when he comes here , he is soon made as bad as the rest ; the heart of a man is tafeen from him , and there is given to him the heart of a beast . '"

      We Btop here , but shall from time to time quote still further from these records of horror , until" stung to rage by pity "—onr countrymen declare that no goyernment shall exercise the power thus to destroy the rery barriers of justice and mercy , —thus to inflict injuries without discrimination of effects beyond answering their purpose to « KM—Kill—KM . " We hare no morbid sympathies with criminals of any degree ; we do not desire to see vica stalk forth in open day unfettered , but we wish to see the fountain of the law purified ; we wish the " majesty of the law" vindicated , —the penalties measured by offeDces , and justly administered . We like not a body of judges gravely quibbling with the words of the wriiten law—indifferently—to save a murderer , or to hang a political opponent .

      One question—Of v ? uat is the mass of verbiage called the written Iaw 3 of England composed \ What man can throw light on suoh & heap I We only feel that much of the great pile is due to the exercise of the worst—the narrowest—and yet the bloodiest—propensities of man , to wreak more cruelties upon his fellow creatures , and to name it -LaTF » And then , we assert Frost , Williams , and Jones , were not treated " according to desert , " but according to unjust—though written—law . And all know and feel this—rven those at whose hands these men are now suffering . Brother Chartists , rest not , pause not until you have rescued Frost , Williams , and Jones , from the land of law-made demons l—Cleave ' s Gazelle .

      LEEDS . —The Great Wizard of the North opened his Temple of Magic in our Music Hall on Monday evening last ; and that his performances fully equal his promises is evidenced by the fact that the * " temple- ' has bean n-ghtly crowded with wonder-stricken admirers . He is at once the most dexterous and the most gentlemanly of all Wizards . If he be , as some iraagine , in counection with a certain old geacleman , ( who shall be Damoless , } most Certainly iha latter can boast of having a really clever aud accomplished acquaintance . The li magic circle" is splendid . Most of the Wizxrd ' s apparatus is made of silver ; arid the coup deil of the whole is dazzling and ' striking . To particularise

      one portion of the performance as tnoro worthy of notice than another is difficul' ;; but we must mention the concluding trick—" the Gipsy ' s Wonder Kitchen . " Let our readers imagine a large cooking pan , suspended , gipsy-fashion , i ' rom a fram « 5-work of wood , and having no communication with the floor or anything else , other than the rope by which it is snspanded from its supporter over the fire placed under it ; Let them further imagine siix dead and dressed pigeons placed in this pan , along with six gallons , or : more , of water . ( Tnat the pigeons were pigeons i and that the pa u was filed w ^ th water , we Eavv with our own eyes . ) Let them further imagine that when the pan is uncovered , and you artt expecting to see the pigeons turned out cooked , and ready to eat , mx live pigeons should fly out ot

      the pan instead , and that every drop of water has disappeared . Lot , we say , our read' rs imagine this ; and ia there one of them within r ^ ach of the Music Hall that will not hasten to see the wonders performed , of oue of which we have attempted a faint description ! Diiriim the next week we perceive an addition will be made to the performances , which will be of itself worrh the sum charged for seeing the whole . The dissolving vi&ws from the polytechnic Institution , are to be introduced for the fi . i ' bt time , to a Leeds audience . Tlioso who have visited London , and had the high gratification to witness this pleasing exhibition , can appreciate the treat in store for the seekers of amuRemcnt in Leeds those who have not had such an opporttinity will- - do well not to miss it now that it ia brought home to their own doora .

      MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE . ( From the Dublin Morning Register . ) The neighbourhood of Rathmines was thrown iato the greatest state of excitement on Saturday evening in consequence of a rumour whieh prevailed relative to the death of Mr . Augustus Byrne , aged about 28 or 30 , who resided with his family at No . 1 , Albertterrace , nearly opposite the Kath £ ar-road , in the above locality . The rumour was very current in town ! on Saturday evening , that Mr . Byrne hid met his death under strange circumstances , and to our reporter making the necessary inquiries , the following fact ? , which may be relied on as correot , were communicated to him . From private information received on Saturday evening by Inspector Finnamore ,

      that officer at once despatched a messenger for Dr . M'Car-hy , one of the county coroners , who arrived at the Rathmines station-houFe about eleven o ' clock , and with the inspector proceeded to the house of Mr . Byrne , aud after some preliminary conversation , the partie . s proceeded to the back drawing-room , where they observed Mr . Byrne lying dead on his bed . Dr , M'Carthy directed the inspector to summon a jury , in ordtr to bold an inquc 9 t on the body . A very respectable jury was then sworn , and they at once proceeded to view the body . It would be almost impossible to describe the appearanoe presented by the corpse—it was livid in many parts , and the chest , head , neck , and arms , were what \ a commonly called "black and blue , " as if these portions of the frame '

      had suffered severe injury . It being late at night , the coroner though ! it advisable to adjourn the inquiry . Two young gentlemen , named Luke and Joseph Wall , sous of Mrs . Byruo , wife of the deceased , together with Mrs . Byrno herself , and her servants , Catherine Finuegan and Christopher Telt , were , bv order of the coroner , taken into custody by Mr . Inspector Finnamore . These persons were broueht before ihe coroner and jury , and , after being duly caut'oned not to say anything that might be used against them hereafter , the coroner proceeded to examine them , but not on oath . From the statement of Mfpsr : ? . Wall , it appeared that their stepfathpr had been ill for six or seven days , but they knew it only by rumour , or report , in tie home . They were not in the room where he lay at all , nor

      did they see him during the time . They were not aware of any doctor being sent for to visit the deceased , nor did they think he was so unwell as to require a medical person ; and they knew nothing more about the maitre until they heard ha was dead Tna Bta'ument of Catherine Finnegan and Christopher Tc-it was to the following effect : —For the last six or seven days they did not see the deceased , but htard he was unweH in hcd . On several occasions they brought up tea , coff-e , beefsteaks , rashers of bacou , and other victuals , to the bed-room , but did not g-.- into the apartmett . Mrs . Byrno ( they said ) u" 5 ° d to meet them at the bedroom door and take the things from them . They knew nothing more about the deceased , or how he came by his death .

      The statement of Mrs . Byrne was , that her husband for the last week was in the enjoyment of his usual health , and that she did not notice any change in him until Saturday , when she was at tne beside and heard to her great surprise a gurgling sort of noise in his throat ; she wished to send for a doctor , bat deceased would not allow any person to be prepresent ; she , however , sent for Mr . Harvey , an apothecary , who , on hiB arrival , found the gentleman dead . It being twelve o ' clock when these statements were made , the coroner adjourned the investigation to five this evening , at the fame time directing Mr . Finnimore to take charge of Mrs . Byrne , the Messrs . Wall , and the servants of the deceased , whioh he accordingly did . These persons were put under arrest , and placed in separate rooms . Mrs . Byrnes

      was allowed to occupy an upper room in the house , the Messrs . Wall another room ^ and the servants a third , each nnder the surveillance of a polioe officer , until the result : of the investigation is made knotvn . There are several witnesses to be examined . Surgeons Fox , Mitchell , and Ellis , were engaged yes terday for upwards of three hours in a post mortem examination of the body ; the result of their inquiry of course can onlyba known on the inquest . Great crowds ' of persons had collected about the place during the greater portion of the day . Several gentlemen , friends of the deceased , called during the day . Tbf-re arc various rumour 3 afloat respecting this eirantre and sudden affair , none of which ii would be prudent to state in detail until the investigation closed . The jury will assemble this evening at five o clork . It is composed of the most respectable persons rerid'ng in the locality .

The Association is rapidly on the increasethe crisis of the nation ' s fate draws near— -the indnstrious classes are seeking for political knowledge : the enemy is at work to weaken arid divide our : anks , and hunger and devastation are making fearful antl rapid strides in the once peaceful and happy homes of the artisans of England . Now is the time when men

      begin to think , and to ask each other " what shall wo do to ba saved ? " : end in bnr opinion no time can be more fitting than the piesent , ft , / the Executive Committee to put foith their mighty talents to direct the movement , and create such an . unanimity of feeling and of aeUon as shall strike terror into the ranks of the enemy . That the Executive Committee may be the tetter able to carry into effect the foregoing augejestlons , we recommend that for the future all nominations and elections of officers belonging to the National Charter Association of Great Britain be takefn throush the country at one and the same time , B 9 Btated in the plan of organisation . It this method be rigidly adhered to , the whole of the Association will follow the example in all their transactions , which will five to the or / janizition an impetus that will defy all attempts to mistead and divide the people .

      HUDDERSPlEtD . —— Meeting op Rate-PA . YERa--A m ^ etinK of ratcpayerg . called by the Board of Surveyors of Highways for tho township of Hudderffield , wag holden in the larg ? room of tho Pack Horse Inn , on Wednesday last , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon , fp consider and de ^ rmine upon a claim for compensation mado by " Varley and Company" for al ! ed « ed injury dona to property b y the raising of tho highway passing "Shoreifoot-mill . " It turned out that the purveyors , before they determined on making a mnch-w . 'j . n ^ d improvement in the road leading past th « milHust named ; up to Mold Green and on to the Wakeneld road , bad consulted the owners of property adjoining the portion to bo raised ; and had arrane [ ed with

      them that the private approaches to the raised and improved public road should bo made at private fiost . To this arranir . fme . nt ' the | rm stylint ; itself "Varley and Company" wero parties , one of tiie parthers being present , and acquiHsinfif , in the mnotiiifl ; of surveyors and owners of property . When the improvement was partly effected this Company demanded that the Siirveyora should enter thfiir private mill yard , and raise it to a level with the publio road . The Surveyors properly refused to thus misapply the rates entrnsted to their enrage , and " Varley and Company" caused them to / be served with notic ? of action for compensation , for damage done to their property bj roendirie and improving the public high way 5 It was therefore determined

      to lay the matter before the rate payers in vestry assembled . A very animated disciissi ' iti ensnoa , after the above statement of facts had been laid before the meeting , by tho chairman , ( Mr . Joseph Shaw , overseer , ) and a member of the Board of Surveyors , in which Mesisrs . T . Shepherd . J . Brook , J . Hobson , J . Leach , R . Armitage , D ; Hirst , &c ., &c , took part . A case from the Law Journal was brought under the consid ration of the rneei ing , by Mr . Joshua Hobson . which completely me tho point at issue . A ' n aciion had been brou > rht against a Board of Suryeyora under precisely similar circumstances , tho raising of a public road adjoining the plaintiff ' s private proDerty . He sued for injury and damage done through the renderin !! of his

      gate and carriage way us less by the raising of the public highway . Under the direction of Justice Park , the Jury foriml a verdict for the defeiHlanfJ . Tho plaintiff moved for a new trial and Justices Batley , Holroyd , and Littledale refused the motion on the ground that an action cbujd not be mafntained against piibli q servants acting for the pnblio advantage , unless it was proved that they abuscH the powbr they possessed by acting arbitrarily and oppressively . The following resolution , moved by Mr . J . Hobson ^ and seconded by Mr . T . Shepherd , was unanimously passed : — " That this meeting having carefully weighed the whole of the facts laid before them by the B > ard of Surveyoraof the Highways , is of opinion that th < - claim

      made upon the Board for compensation , by ' V \ rley and Company , ' is at once U just , « iufl illegal : un-iiist because the firm tradinij tinder the designation * Varley and Company' Were parties to ana ^ reement . ma « i «) between the Surveyors and the owners of property ' adjoiningthe then projected improvement , in that V"ort ^ on ° f the highway leading from ' Shore Head' to the * Navigation Bridge , ' waich as ; ree »} ient was . to the effect that the Raid owners should make and alter their own approaches to the said improved hiufrway : illegal , because wh ^ tte * they were parties to the afo 8 esalda 2 reement or not , the law instructs the Surveyors of the Hichways to

      consult the public benefit , and not individual arivantago and buthoriz .-a no such expenditure of the ratepayHrs' money as the making of private approaches to a public road . While this . meeting , therefore , thanks the Board of Surveyors for resisting the demand for compensation made by Varley and Company , ' and for calling the ratepayers together to consult as to such claim ; it also instructs the said Surveyors of the High ways to continue to resist , by all and every le « al means , the said claim for compensation made by 'Varley and Company . . ¦ ¦ '¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; . ; ¦ " ' ; ' , ¦ - '' ¦ ¦'¦[/¦ .

      ETTRtOBDINAKY SlGW OP THEPRESSURE OF rHK TiMES . " -T-Perhaps no one fact could . possibly be adduced to show the " dreadful times" we live in , and their extraordinary " pressure ' even upon " profeBsional" men , ( to say noihiqg of petoy shopkeepers and tradesmen , ) than the following : —An eminent firm , composed of "limbs qf the law , " and kfc doing *' business at a short distance from Hattye Fokq , ( a place in the immediate noighbourh ( iud of Huddersfield , ) have suffered so much ot ' late from " want of custom , " that they have been obliged , tooke out a living , to add to their lpguimate vocations the moat unusual one ( for attorneys ) of ' . wholesale wgjroBBEHS . ' Their first essay in this new line was made by one of the partners in this ( now )

      law-audpig-firm about a month ago , when he purchased from a dealer in the Liverpool market no less than forty-six pigs at once for about £ 60 . Having made the purchase , and paid the money ; and having slept on his bargain , heTwas not so much in love with it as when at first entered into : for reflection taught him that neither himself nor his partner was the best judge of pig ' s flesh in the world ; and that though they might manage to buy a lot together for a given sum , they were not quite " 6 / oy" at the job of selliug them ( singly ) put again , at a profit . In this emergency they had reourrenOe to the able advice and counsel of —— * ' Coxy , '' Esq ., son of Joseph Ccx < the eminent common carrier of Huddersneld . ( Of his mother we are silent , ) The result of the contereuee was , a determination to admit Mr . " Coxy "

      into the firm , as a partker in the pig-jobbing business . Since then all has gone on smoothly . The first lot is nearly disposed of . The law " prpfessionals" are getting a clear insight into the arts and mysteries of pig-jubbery , " A prospect of "doing *' well is opened tip before them / . They begin to have a hope of standing up , hotwithstanding the ' hard times ' " and they already bless the : day that favy them dealers in " porkers" to save their bacon IPerhaps the most ; astounding pare of this curious business has yet to be mentionedi Mr . "Coxy" . de * olares , that while his connection which the lawyers has given them a knowledge of his : " profession , " he has also acquired an intimate acquaintance wltti the qiiirks arid q > iid ities of the la w and the lawyors " Recipbocity" is his motto ; and already overturts are made to duly instal him a full member of this " most respectable" firm !
