THE OTn ^ iSI . Behold that poor abused famished ^ wretch ! There tkv hundreds of such to be seen in-every market town . He is a perfect living skeleton—a rioting death , - "You may count Ms ribs one by one , like a harp ' s strings . There is not a Ixrae in his body , but -which is as plainly developed as a surgeon ' B anatomical - cast What does he out of the church yard ? How came he thus » What heinous abomination has he perpetrated to bring him to ttis lowest hell of misery , to be left to rot and fester by his land ? Was it theft ! Was it murder ! No ; h -was some&inf -which our present upright legislators esteem an infinitely greater atrocity , and "visit its committal accordingly , -with jnuch more severity—1 mean Povertt ! Hehas seen better daysand happier hours , but misfortune ' s loo frequent visitatiinis and the Queen ' s taxes cafli ng so often , eonspired to make his humble home desolate , and him the grisly outcast that you see ! He vras not an idle or a vicious man , nor did he desire to live on the labour of others , as the manner of too-many is . He therefore came np to London in the expectation of obtaining of his brother -workmen permisaon to toil ; but flat great fatour could not be granted him . He then , though he felt ashamed attempted to beg a small pittance of the charitable | &at , ho wever , he -was somewhat roughly told , by the Official ^ to desist from ; and the " tread-mm , " and " hard "wzr -were significanU y held up as his future prospects , ff he persevered . Xow , "hard labour * -was xrfiat ne desired , but the " tread-mW ? that hurt his pride , for thongh " My Lords and Gentlemen * may sneer , he still , notwithstanding he -was verging on the gaunt cliff of st arvation , retained a little of the right honest sort of that feeling in his bosom . Such being the case , -what cold he do ? He -was toohonest to steal , for he had some old-fiishioned notions from his father ' s Bible on that bead , so , m you vrlll see presently tfie was graaously , in this land of liberty , allowed to do thai ) he Marred ' » Xtl £ . _ U -kvAST-
Ill-fated being ! day after day , and night after night , he has stalked like a fleshless spectre np and dotra the ireets of the richest capital in the world , not daring V > ask for , much less take , a morsel of the bread and m "which- are everywhere uselessly piled up , and "which the Lord has expressly commanded should be given , "From him that ii hungry torn thou not away !" But not to dwell on his sad misery : —It is night—his last night is come ; for tJie oHal of the slaughter-houses and the dunghills—hit toly sustenance for many a day —tas feaed ; the dogs , -with , -whom he w wont to
battle lor its foetid possession , having eaten it all up , he hems too weak to drive them away . What can he do !

( From the Morning Herald . ) Newport , Tuesday . I arrived here this morning , and find that so far from having been overcharged , the statements I havi forwarded you were not calculated to convey an adequate idea of the dreadful Chartist outrage which has taken place here . Instead of 12 or 13 killed , as stated in my former letter , I find that the number is nearer 20 . I have seen 17 , some of which were found in the fields ; and the superintendent of police tells me , that he has no doubt , when they are all collected together , that the number will exceed 20 . Besides these , there are a great number of the Chartista wounded , some of ¦ whom are bo severely injured that but little hopes are entertained of 4 hetr recoverv .
The Mayor , a 3 I have already informed yon , was shot through the arm and in the groin , and is confined to bis bed by the injuries . Mr . Henry Williams , ironmonger , a special constable , was wounded in the head by a gun shot , has a severe sword cut across the knee , a etab in the side from a pike , and several severe contusions , produced by his having been trampled on by the mob . Mr . Morgan , linendraper , a special constable , has a wound in his side from a pistol bullet , which passed under the integuments , and Vfas found lying over the sternum . Several others are wonuded , but not severely .
Amongst the dead Chartists , two only of the bodie 3 have as yet been identified—one is that of a man named Williams , who drilled them , and who is supposed to be a deserter from the 29 th regiment ; and the other that of a miner , named William Griffiths , upon whose body was found a card , inscribed with hi 3 name , and bearing the following upon it : — . " The "Working Men ' s Association for benefiting politically , socially , and morally , the useful classes . —The man who evades his share of useful labour , diminishes the public stock " of wealtb , and throws his own burdens on hi 3 neighbour . w : No . 657 . "Monthly payments . "
"Chderneath this is a scale of the months for the insertion of payments in two columns , of -which those for July and Angust were payments of 4 d . for each month carried out . On the body of another was found a similar card of the Mertbyr Tydvil Association , nnmbeied ^ . GOl . As soon as the Magistrates became fully awaro of the menaced attack on the borough , they issued ihe following placard : — " BOBOCGH OP JfEWPOET , COUXTT OP K 0 ? fM 0 CTH . " The justices of the borough hereby strietly require all householders who are not now . special constables , to attend at the Westgate Inn , at nine o ' clock to-day , in order to be sworn in as special constables . "By order of the Justices . "Dated the 4 th of November . 1839 . "
And in obedience to which a largs number of the respectable townsmen attended , and were sworn in . At about nine o ' c'ock in the morning the Chartists , whose procession extended half a mile in length , entered the town much in the manner I have already described to yon , and commenced their attack on the We 3 tgate Hotel , which was defended by a small number of special constables , and about thirty of the 45 th foot . The rioters first marched along by the hotel , then wheeled round in military style , fired upon the windows , and" then , charging with their pikes and bayonets , forced in the doors and windows , and were speedily in possession of all the
lower apartments . The military at this time behaved with the most praiseworthy fortitude and forbearance ; they first tried to eject the insurgents ; failing in which , they fired over their heads : the infatuated rioters , however , increased their violence to such a degree , that the order was given to fire . The Chartists , upon finding their companions drop before their eyes , began to retreat , and after about a quarter of an hour s firing , they fled in all directions , leaving behind them as many weapons as would fill two good-sized carts . They were seen sarryhjg their -woended across the fields in all directions , and this accounts for the dead bodies found at the outskirts of the town .
As « oou as tranquillity was in some measure restored , the Magistrates issued the following placards : — " BOBOtGH OF KEWPOfcT , COUKTT OF M 0 XM 0 CTH . "The Justices of the Borough recommend the inhabitants , to cbse their shops to-day . " By order of the Justices . " Newport , 4 th Nov . 1839 . " " Out Sovereign Lady the Queen Etrictly chargeth and commandeth all persons being assembled , immediately to disperse themselves , and peaceably to depart to their habitations , or to their lawful business , upon the pains contained in the act made in the first rear of King George , for preventing tumults and riotons assemblies . " God save the Queen . " ¦» " Borou gh of Newport , Nov . 4 . " The Hiot Act has Leon read-11 By order of the Justice * .

After which they issued another placard , offering a reward for the apprehension of Frost , the ex-Magistrate , who headed the insurgents in their attack upon the Borough , and was recognised as the most active and daring throughout the affray . Of thia placard the following is a copy?—"John Frost . " £ 100 Reward . , "The above reward will be paid to any person or persons who shall apprehend and bri * g to justice John Frost , late of Newport , draper , who standB charged with the crime of high treason . < . "" By prder , ' of the Magistrates . " " Borough of Newport , Nov . 4 , 1839 . " By nightfall tranquillity was in a great measure restored ; several of the ringleaders were apprehended , and amongst them Frost , -who was taken at the house of a printer of seditious publicationSj named Partridge . A V * _ V _ __ . <« • er ,
This morning abont forty of the 14 th Hussars arrived here from Bristol ; and at eleven o'clock the magistrates held a special session at the Westgate Hotel , for the purpose of examining the prisoners . . . ¦ * . ' . R . J . Blewitt , Esq ., member for the borough ; T . Edwards , Esq ., — BroweryEsq ., and the Rev . J . Coles , constituted tho court . The room in which the inquiry was conducted Vfas ao"wdod' to excess , and at half-past eleven o ' clock John Frost , Charlos Waters , and — Partridge , were brought into the court in custody .
After a short time it was arranged that the charge against Frost and Waters should De alone proceeded with , and Partridge wa 3 accordingly removed , and the other prisoners accommodated with seats at the bottom of the table . . : Frost is a respectable looking mao , about 55 years old , with iron grey hair , and a very marked j countenance . Ho was habited iu a blue pilot coat of superior quality , and he entered the Court with a firm step , assuming oveii a scornful expression of countenance . His comp&niou , Waters , is a tail thin man , attired in tho garb of a mechanic ; he appears to be about 30 years old , and couducted himseli" wifb much fierceness .
Mr . Blewitt then addressed the prisoners as folr ows : —s - - " ' .- ¦'¦' . ¦ ' ¦'• ¦ "John Frost and Char ' es Waters , you stand before us charged with High Treason i ~ doNeither of ypu . x <} - quire . professional advice or assistance . " - The prisoners both replied in the negative , and the investigation was proceeded with . The first witness called was a qiiarryinan , named Matthew Williams . The witness , who was suffering under the effects of a severe wouud in the leg , was supported into th « room . He appeared to be Buffetiug intense agony , and was near fainting mo-e than once during his examination . He deposed that i he lived at Argded . Ou Saturday night last , between ten and eleven o ' clock , ho attendea a Chartist lodiire .
at abeerhouse , kept by a man named William Williams , at Argoed . There were a great many other men there ; more than ho could number . Two persons acted as stewards to the club . They called over witness ' s name and that of ten others , who were new members , and told them that they were hound to come at the call of their captain . Witness ' s captain was a collier , but ho did not know his name . When witness gave his name , the steward said he must give him 5 d . fbut herepUed hehad no . morioy , audthathc would givo it another time . The other men gave 5 d . each . The captain ' B Christian name was Henry but he could not tell his surname . The steward told the captain that he was to give witness and his companions some instruction on Sunday morning They were told that they were to meet at between
nice and ten o ' clock the next morning , at the chapel , and witness accordingly went , and met his eaptaiu and three or four others of his party . After they had stayed together for some time , they agreed again to meet at the sameplace , at between five and six o ' clock that evening . The lodge accordingly met on the night of Sunday , and there were a great many present , witness should think a hundred- or more . A person named George Reeve was there . There was a talk about going to Newport , and some of the lodge said , "What are we going to Newport for I What are we to do there 1 " Reeve replied that we were to go there and stop all traffic or trade , and all the coaches , and tho post . Some person asked Reeve whether Mr . Frost was hard by ! and he replied , yes , that ho was at Blackwood . . ' ' . ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ..-..
Air . Frost objected to this reply being taken , on the ground that it was not legal evidence . , ilr . Blewitt admitted that it was . no evidence as yet as against Mr . Frost , but observed that it was not necessary to object to it , as , if there were uo other evidence against him , he would go free . Mr . Frost said it would bo better to go by the rules of evidence , instead of receiving testimony which it was admitted was wrong . Mr . Blewitt said the answer as yet had not affected Mr . Frost , as it might have referred to a ilr . James or a Mr . William Frost . . The examination proceeded , and the witness said that the men said if they cou'd not have Mr . Frost before them they would go no further , and it was
then agreed to seud to Mr . Frost to tell him to stop at Newbridge ; they were then to ^ d to meet Mr ; Frost at Ccfn ty Marchorg , at bix o ' clock next mo ruing . Witness then wait home , and went to bed , and had resolved not to go , as tho weather was so very bad , andtho nightwas so dark ; but whilst he was in bed a great many men camo and beat at the door , and toldfhim they would break in the house if he did not come out . Witness was then obliged to go wiih them ; he was bound to go , and tnely put a guard over him all the way . They marched on together to Kuwbridge , and as they went along the road they were joined by large parties of men , b y many lodges , who were all armed , some with sticks , some with guns , and one or two with swords , and a ereat many with pikes . Witness had a stick
with a large kneb to it . Several men acted as leaders of the others , bnt witness could npt te'l their names . At the Royal Oak , near Risca , they met the prisoner , John Frost . There was a large body of meu with him . Witness saw that some of them were armed , but it was too dark to see them alL Frost was walking about from one side to the other ; he spoke to several of them , but witness did not hear that he gave any directions . All this happened in the dead of the , night . Frost went away for about half an hour , and then came back bringing men with him , all" of whom were armed . The party then proceeded towards Newport ; there were hundreds of th « m , and : they went in marching order . On the road Frost put them in the way to walk ; but witness did not hear him give tho word 'halt " or "march . " When they came through Tredegar Park it was about daylight ; they marched on towards Newport , Frost beiug still with them ; and
when they came to tnc machine they halted . Witness did dot see Frost at the machine , but saw him afterwards by the Roman Catholic chapel ( close to the Westgate Hotel ); He was walking alongside as usual . The body then marched to the Westgate Hotel . Witness was behind / inanv hundreds . DUt , as he turned the corner , ho hoard a mati say , " K » i never ; " and then the party -went against tho dflSir with their . pikes . Witness heard a cry of " Fire , fire ; " and there were guns amongst the party , which wore fired . They then cried out "Break in the windows , " and vitness stepped forward , but was immediately knocked down , he believed by oueoi his own party , and lay where he fell when the ball struck him . Did not see Frost afterwards . Ho M'as not armed . The witness concluded by stating that he had spoken the truth , as he did hot know how soon he might die , and that ho wished ho had been dead before he came there . .
Mr . Frost then proceeded , with much coolness arid self-possession , to cross-examine the witness , who , in reply to his interrogatories , stated that he had been examined before , but had had n 6 promise of reward made to him to induce him to give the testimony he had given . Was forced out of his house . by" the men- When he was at tho Royal Oak , he might havo run away if he liked to do so , but the rest of the way he was guarded . John Rees , a lad of about fourteen years of age , stated . that , yesterday morning , at about nine o'clock ; he was standing by his father's hovree , at Pillgwentley , when a man came down the tram road on horseback , and said the Chartists "were coming . Witness and . another boy then rah np to- the
machine and met a large mob of men armed with guns , pikes , pistols , mandrils , &c . The prisoner Frost was there , and he came in front of the mob , and asked a boy named James Palmer , where the soldiers were . The boy said that about a dozen of them were gone to the Westgate . On tho other side of the mob was a mau named John Rees , who was called " Jack the Fifer . " He-Sad a a pistol in one hand , and a piko in the others and he said to the boy— "Go back and tell them that we mean to have the Westgate for ourselves . " This was said very loudygo that Fiost could hear it .: Another man in the crowd
then Baid he panted a waistcoat very bad , as he was so very wet . Frost then stood on one side , and Jack the Fifer on the other , and they both said " march . '' . Frost did not say it so loud as Jack the Fifer , but witness was Bure ne said it . The crowd then formed into two parties , and one marched up theFriara , and the other along the Lower Roncf , and they met at the top of Charka-streek Witness did not see Frost afterwards . Did not go down to the Westgate—they were firing so .

As soon as I left I heard soveralvguns ^ o off , and soon afterwards I saw the spociaV constable ^ ar id found that a p ike had caught his ariii aud cut his clothes through to the flesh , and that it was in consequence of this that he tumbled down . After the dispersion
of the mob I came again into Westgatevstrcetj and saw Beveral poor fellows weltering in their blood . I- cannot speak positively , '' .

All the pistols wore loaded and primed , and ready for instant use . On Waters he . found four loaded pistols , a p «\ yder flask , about 100 bullets , arid a quantity of Vucifer matches . [ The witness here
proaucod | tho various articles referred to . ]; Mr . ' Tlibmas Jones Phillips , clerk to the magistratoft , deposed that ho , went on the previous evening , _ between Bit and seven o ' clock , to the house of a printer named Partridge , for the purpose of searching it for papers . He knocked at the-door , and as no notice waa at first taken of it , ho repeated his kaockSi Partridge then called out and said" I am gone to bed , " Witness desired him to get up and open tho doorj as otherwise he must break it open , and then ho appiied his slioulder to the door and forced it open . Witness was attended by Stephen Rogers , the grocer ; and , upon opening the door , the first person they savf was Mr . Frost . Rogers then laid holtl of him by one side of his collar , and witness by the other , and they gaid to him , "Mr . Frost , you are our prisoner .

yet ; you must wait . ' Mr , Frost then retired to the fir « -place and sat down , and taking spme bread and cheese , said ho supposed he should bo allowed to take that , and commenced eating it .

Frost then walked towards tho firo-place , and witness sept for assistancq , and removed the prisoners and Partridco to the Westgato Hotel . b
This having closed the evidence of the witnesses m attendance , the magistrates cjonsulted togother for aehott time , attho end of which they remanded tho prisoners , directing that they should be brought up for further examiuation at six o'clock . After tho prisoners had been rotnandbd about half an hour , some hbrsemori brought iriformatioa into the town , that tho Chartists had assembled in a largo body outside of the town , and were about to march , into Newport , with a view of resbuhig Frost from custody . "This alarming intelligence , which spread with the rapidity of wildfire frorii one end
of tho town to tho other , . produced the utmost confusion and dismay , Thei mih ' tary -were , called outT-the 10 th hussars paraded the streets —the infantry took iip their position in the windows of the Westgate Hotel . The different shops arid all the public houses in the town were promptly closed , tho special constables wore in motion , aud the town presented all the appearaftco of one in a state of sicgo . ^ .
