rpHE numsrous applications for thev Spinal A Gintmcnt advertised in the Northern Star of June 13 , 1842 , baa induced the Proprietor , Mr . GeoncfE Haigiu to appoint Mr . J . Hobson , of the lVortftern Star Office , agent for its sale . It is now made up in Tin Boxes , and sold at 2 ^ S ) d . each Bos , stamp included . With each-box is giyett general pr iPited instructions for its application . Tiiis is well worthy of the attention of all labouring under that most distressing complaint , AFPtCUO . v of the spine : as the : SPINVL OINTMENT has been found , in hundreds of inveterate cases , to be the best Restorative that can be applied . Some of the cases of cure effected by it are beyond belief ; and , were not the partieB living , ahd ^ perfectly willing , nayi anxiously ready to ba referred to , and to testify to the Wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor 6 f the Ointment dare not mention them for fear of being charged with an attempt : to practise upon the credulity of the public . The parties , howe yer , afe living ; they can ba referred to ; and their testimony is of ihe highest importance to allafflioted with Spinal affection . ¦ * / . - . C - . ; . cases of cure ; ' ; ' , ¦ ¦ - ' . ; . ' -v ' --- . / ' 1 . Joseph PaTkin , slubber , Milnes Bridge , near Huddersfield . This was a case of two Years' standing . The Patient had had the benefit of the beat medical advice that could be procured ; but without effect . His finger riailg were putrifying ,, when he began to apply the Spinal Ointment ; and in the course of ten weeks he was perfectly cured . He is how . in a state of perfect health . : 2 . Mrs . James Newton i of Ashton-underrLyne . A case of very long standing . Had experienced all kind ' s of treatment ; visited spas , &c , without relief ; was cured in about seven mouths . ' 3 . —r- Senior , Son of James Senior , slubber , Dewsbury , aged fiveyear 3 . Had never walked from h \ s tirth . Was cured in about four months ; and enabled to walk a 8 well as any one . ; ; In addition to tho above , * tfea Proprietor would also name the cases of the daughter of Mr . Elkana iurn « r , of Ovenden , near Halifax ; Mrs ^ Rowbottom , wife of Mr , Rowbottom , draper , at Hyde ; and of Mrs ; Denton , Macclesfield . The first , Miss Turner , had completely lost tbe use of her limbs : in about six months she was restored to perfect health . Mrs . Rowbottom had been confined to her bed for 3 number of years , nearly twelve : in three ; months she was able to rise and sit up ; and now she is completely restored . Mrs . Denton had also been for a long period confined to her bed : by using the Ointment a few times , she was able to go to market ;; and in a very short time indeed was completely restored . The Qmtmont is of two kinda , and numbered 1 and 2 . No . 1 is ; . the strongest _ kind , and is to be used in the morning onfy , for children a d for weak adults . Strong adults must use No .

The Condition Of Frost.
THE CONDITION OF FROST .
We direct attention to tbe following extract from a lengthy article on the horrors of transportation , in the current number of Cleave ' s Gazelle . Let Chartists remember that their friends , Frost , Williams , and Jones , are now subjected to the atrocious cruelties- inflicted in the land of law-made demons —our penal settlements . Dr . TJilathorne says—«• The penal settlement of Norfolk Island is a small island abost a thousand miles from Sidney , to which convicts ar « re-transperteQ from N . S . Wales . Port Arthur is also & penal settlement , to -w hich convicts are Te-ttansported from Van D : eman ' a Land . It is a penkisala , 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 bull dogs , from shore to shore . These dogs have been se trained , tbat , en the least noise , they give the alarm , by day or by night , and so successful Bas been this guard , that not more xhan two prisoners were ever known to escape ; one of these was taken , tbe other is supposed to have perished in the woods . The general description of this peninsula is exceedingly desolate , and the convicts are employed in working coal mines . There are above 1206 criminals in Norfolk Island , and nearly as many ut Port Arthur . They are fettered with heavy chains , harrassrd uciih heavy work , and fed on salt neat and maize I read . Their existence is one of desperation . At Port Ar thur 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 incessant and galling description the settlement can produce ; and any disobedience of
orders , or turbulence , er other mixondud , is instatilaxeoudy pumshtci with ihe lash . ' So BeTere indeed , are the priT&ttona of these men , bo dreary and duolateia tbeir state of mind , cut off from all communication except with each other , and deprived of every source of human erjjojment , raising their mise ries aa they herd together , upon eacfi other , -without hope as without help , bo absolute is their despair , tbat the most daring attempts , though commonly useless , are made to escape , and murders are even commuted from a vehement desire « f being relieved from their own intense misery . The late Governor of Van Dieman * s Land states two cases of this kind , in one of which the man murdered his dearest friend , saving he ¦ w as . weary of life . I myself witnessed the execution of one ia Norfolk Island who had deliberately , and without any malice against him , split open the skull of his comrade with a spade when at work ; be pleaded guilty , and declared that his sole object was to obtain

THE NEW EXECUTIVE AND THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION . TO THE EDITOR OP THE KORTHKllN STAR . Sir , —Af it may be fairly presumed that the New Executive Committee are now fuHy installed m the duties of their office , we trust they will turn their serious attention to the plan of organization , so that it may be carried out for the future to the very letter . We consider this more necessary at the present tirae tb . au ever . The Association is rapidly on ttfe increasethe crisis of the nation's . -- 'fate draws near—the induBtriou 8 classes are seeking-for political knowledge : the enemy is at work to weaken and divide onr ianks , and hanger and devastation are making fearful and rapid strides in the once peaceful and happy homes of the artisans of England . Now is the time when men
begin to think , and toast each other ' what shall we do to be saved ? " and in our opinion no time c ^ n be more fitting than the present , for " - .-toff Executive Committtet to put forth their mighty talenta to direct tbe movement ; anrt create auca an Unanimity of feeling and of aciion aa -shall strike terror into the ranks . ' of tbe enemy . That the Executive Committee may be the better able to carry Into effect the foregoing suggestions , we recommend that for the future all nominations and elections of officers belonging to the National Charter Association of Great Britain be taken through the country at one and the same time , as stated in the plan ' -of-organisation .- ' If this method be rigidly ailhered to . the whole of the Association will follow the example In all their transactions , which will ? ive to the organization an Impetus that will defy all attempts to mislead and divide the people .
With those few observations , and ardently wishing for the freedom of the whole people , I remain . Sir , On behalf of thf ) Councillors of the National Charter Association , resident in Hull ; 4 James Qrassby , Sub-Secrctary . Hull , Jnly 13 th , 1842 . ; P .

HUDDERSFIELD . — -Meeting of Ratepayers—A meeting of . ¦ ¦ ¦ ratepayers ; ' . called by the Board of Surveyors of Highways for the township of Huddersfield , was holden in the larga room of the Pack Ilorse Inn , on Wednesday last , at eleven o'clock in the forenoon , to consider and deMrtnine upon a claim far conipohsationrrhade by ¦• ¦ " ¦ Varley ' and Company" for alledgRd injury dona to property by the raising of the highway passing *' 3 horefoot-niill . '' It turned out that the : Surveyors . ; ' before they determined on rnskiDg a much-wanted improvc-mrnt . ' in the road leading past the mill .-. just named , up to Mold : Green and on to the Wafcefield
road v had consulted the pwriera of property adj () inir ) g the portion to be raised ; and had arranged with them that tho private approaches to the raieed and iniproved public road should bo made at private cost . To thia arrangement the firm styling itself " Yalley- and Company" were parties , one of the parU ijers being : present , and acquiesing , in the raeetine ; of purveyors and owners of property . When the improvtment was partly effected this Company demanded that the Surveyors should enter their privato mill yard , and rai . « 6 it to a level wuh tho public road . The Surveyors propnrly refused to thus misapply the rates entrusted to their enrage , and " Varley and Company" caused them to be served with notice of action for compensation , for damage
done to their property bj xbendips ' . and improving the public highway ! It was therefore determined to \ &y the ma tier before the rake payers in vestry assembled . A very animated discusaiin ensued , after the above statement of facts had been laid before the meeting , by the chairmen , ( M > . Joseph Shaw , overseer . ) and a member of the Board of Surveyors , in which Messrs . T . S !\ opb rd . J . Brook , J . Hobson , J . Leach , It . Armitage , D . Hirst , &c , &c , took part , A case from ; the Law Journal vfas brought under the consideration-of the .----roeotih # , by Mr . Joshua Hobson . which completely me . the point as issue . An action had beett . broueht agaynst a Board of Surveyors under precisely similar
circumstances , the i'a ! sing of a public road adjoining the plaintiff ' ^ private property . He sued iqr injury and damage done through the rendering of h > s gate and oarriago way ns less by thf raising of the public highway . Under the direction of Justice Pauk , the Jury found a verdict for the defendants . Tho plaintiff moved for a new trial ; and Justices Batley , Holhoyd , and Littlepale refused the motion on the ground that an action could not be maintained against public servants acting for the public advantage , unless it was proved that they abused the power they possessed , by acting arbitrarily and oppressively . The following resolution , moved by Mr . J . Hpbsdn , and seconded by Mr . T . Shepherd , was unanimously passed :-rr
"That this meeting having -. ' carefully weighed the whole of the facts laid before thorn by the Board of Surveyors of the Highways , isof opinion that th ' claim made upon the Board for compensation , by ¦ 'V vv ' sy and Company , ' is at once u : ju > t and illegal : uniust < because tbe firm trading under the desfgnntion ' Vartey and Company were parties to an agreement mado between the Surveyors and the owners of property a'ljiiuingthe then prnjeotecl improvement , in that portion of the highway leading from ' Shore Head' to the ' Navigation Bridge , ' whioh agreement wis to the effect that the said owners should make and alter their own approaches to the said improved hichway : illegal , beeausa -whether they were parties to the afososaid aereement or ao % , the
law instructs the Surveyors of the Highways to consult the PUBLIC benefit ^ and , not iuditidual aiivantage ; and authoriz > s no such expenrfiture of the ratepayers * money as the milking of private approaches to a public road . While this Hiee-tingi therefore , thanks the Board of Surveyors for reaistinjj the demand fur compensation made by' Variety and Company , ' and fur calling the ratepayers together to consult as to such claim ; it also INSTRUCTS the said Surveyors of the Highways to continue to resist , by all arid every le ^ al means , tha said claim for compensation made by ' Varley and Company .

ETTRipRDINARY SlQN OF THE H PRESSURE OF THE Times .

Batxye Fokd , ( a place in the immediate neighbourhood of Huddersfieldj ) have suffered so much of late from ' want of custom , ? ' that they have been obliged , to eke oat a living , to add to their l «! gicimat « vooations the most unusual one ( for attorneys ) of wholesale pigjobbers ! Their first essay in Una new lino was made by one of the partners in this ( now )
law-andpiK-firm about a month ago * Vfhen he purchased from a dealer in the Liverpool rnarket no lews than forty-six pi ^ s at once for ab' » ut £ 60 . Having made the purchase , and paid the money f arid having slept on his bargHin , -he' was 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 fl ^ sh in the world ; and that though they might manage to buy a lot together for a given sum , they were not quite " ofay '' &i the job of sellin « them ( singly ) oat again , at a profit . In this eiuergonoy they had recurrence to . the able advice and counsel of—— " Coxy , " Esq ., boji of Jo 9 EPa Cix the eminent common carrier of Hudderan ' eLi . ( Ut his mother we-are silent . ) The result of the confereuee was ,- a determination to admit Mr . " Coxy- "
into the firm , as a partner in th& pig jobbing business . Since then ; & \\ has gone on bmqochiy . Th « first lot is ftearly disposed of . The law " professionals" are getting a clear insight into the arta and mysteries of pig-jobbery . A prospect of } k doing " well is opened up before them .

LEEDS . —The Great Wizard of the North opened iiia . Temple of Maoic in our Music Hall on Monday evening last ; and that his performauces fully equal his promises is evidenced by the fact that tile '> tetuple" has been nightly crowded with wonder-stricken admirers . He is at once the moat dexteroua and the most gentlemanly of all Wizards . If he be , as some imagine , in . connection with a certain old gentleman , (« ho shall be Bamdess , ) most certainly ( hg latter can boast of having a really clever and accomplished acquaintance . The " magio circle" is splendid . Most of the Wi ' zird ' s apparatus is made of silver ; and the coup deil of the whole is dazzling and striking . To parricularise
one portion of the parformauce as more worthy of notice than another is difficult j but we must mention the concluding trick—" the Gipsy's Wonder Kitchen . " Let our readers imagine a large cooking pan , suspended , gip > y-fashion , from a framn-work of wood , and having no communicatioh with the floor or anything else , other than the rope by which it is suspended from its supporter over the fire placed under it . Let them further imagihe six dead and dressed pigeons placed in this pan ^ , along wnh six galipnfl , or more , of water . ( That the pigeons were pigeons , and that the pan was filed with water j we save with our own eyes . ) Let them farther imagine thai when the pan ia ^ uncovered , and you aru expecting to see the pigeons turned out cooked , and ready to eat , mx live pigeona should fly out ot
the pan Ihstead , and that every drop of water has disappeared . Let , we say , our read- rsimagine this ; and is there one <» f them within reash of the Music Hall that will not hasten to see the wonders performed , of one of which we have attempted a faint description !

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE . ( From the Dullin Morning Register . ) The neighbourhood of Rathminea was thrown iato the greatest state of excitement on Saturday evening in consequence of a rumour whieh prevailed relative to fhe death of Mr . Augustus Byrne , aged about 28 or 30 , who resided with his family at No . 1 ,: . Albertterrace , nearly opposite the Bathgar-roao , in tbe above locality . The rarnour was very current in town ' on Saturday evening , that Mr . Byrne had met his death under strause circumstances , and to our reporter making the necessary inquiries , thefollowing fact ? , which may be reiied on as corrco . % wero communicated to him . From private information received on Saturday evening by Inspector Finnamore
that effieer at cssce despMiched a messenger for Dr . M'Car . hy , one of the county coroncTS , who . arrived at the Raihmirie ? Ptation-houKe about eleven o ' clonk , and with the inspector proceeded to the house of Mr . Byrne , and aftor ^ ome preliminary conversation , the parties proceeded to the back drawing-room , where they observpd Mr . Byrne lying dead on his bed . Dr , M'Oarthy directed the inspector to summon a jury , in oTder to h : >! d sn inquest on the body . A very respectable jury was then sworn , and they at once PTocceced to view the body . It would be almost impossible to describe the appearance presented by tbe corpse—it was livid in many parts , and tho chest , head , neck , and arms , were what is commonly called " black ind blue , " as if these portions of the frame
had suffered 3 evere injury . It being late at night , the coroner thoughti it sdvisablo to adjourn the inquiry . Two young geiitlemen , named Luke and Joseph Wall , sons of Mrs . Bi'rne , wife of the deceased , together with Mr ? . Byrne her-elf , and her servant ?? , Catherine Finne-an and Christopher Toll , were , br order of the coroner , taken into custody by Mr .
