We direct attention to the 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 , Fbost , Williams , and Jones , are now subjected to the atrocious cruelties- inflicted in the land of law-made demons —our penal settlements . Dr . Uilathorne says—«• The penal settlement of Norfolk Island is a small island about a thousand miles from Sidney , to "which convicts are re-transperted from N . S . Wales . Port Arthur is also a penal settlement , to which convicts are re-transported from Van Dieman ' s Land . It is & penkssnla , cut off from the re * t of the colony except by a
neck of land . This neck is guarded by a detachment oi soldiers , and by aline of very fierce bull dogs , from shore to shore . Tflese dogs have been 89 trained , that , € n the least noise , they give the alarm , by day or by night , and so successful has been this guard , that not more xban two prisoners were ever known to escape ; one of these was taken , the other is supposed to have perislied in the woods . The general description ef this peninsula is exceedingly desolate , and the convicts art > employed in working coal mints . There are above 1208 criminals in Norfolk Island , and nearly as many it Port Arthur . They are fettered with heavy chains , harrassri irilh heavy work , and fed on salt meat and maize bread . Their existence is one of desperation . At Port Arthur there are chain gangs in which rigour iB pushed to the utmost extreme of human endurance ' The work , ' as Sit George Arthur informs you , ' being of the most incessant and galling description tbe settlement can prodw »; and any disobedience of
orders , or turbulence , or other misconduct , is instanlaxetnaiy ptatuhed xciiA the lath , ' g o severe indeed , are the privations of these men , do dreary and desolate is their state of mind , cut off from all communication except with each other , and deprived of every source of human enjoyment , raising their miseries as they herd together , upon each other , without hope as -without help , so absolute is their despair , that 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 eases of this kind , in one of which the Bun murdered bis dearest friend , saying he wa ? weary of life . I myself witnessed the execution of one in Norfolk Island who had deliberately , and without any malice against him , split open tbe stall of bis comrade with a spade when at work ; be pleaded guilty , and declared that bis iole object was to obtain

his own deliverance ont of life . Ssveral such cases bare occurred . Tae late Chief JU 8 tics of Naw South Wale 3 , when interrogated by a Parliamentary Committee , on the coimcts of Norfolk Island , being asked , ' Would it not be better to burn them alive ? " said , I eannot say if it were put to myself , I should not hesitate a moment in preferring death , under nny form that yon 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 aentence , -wrung the heart , and brought tears to the eyes of his judge , as he exclaimed—Mat a man be what he wDl when he cornea here , he Is soon made as bad as the rest ; the heart of a man is taken from him , and there is given to him the heart of a beast . '"
We stop here , but shall from time to time quote sull further from these records of horror , until" stung to rage by pity "—our countrymen declare that no government shall exercise the power thus to destroy the very barriers of justice and meroy , —thus to inflict injuries without discrimination of effects beyond answering their purpose to
Kill—Kill—Kill " We have 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 offence , and jostly admioi ? tered . W « like not a body of judges gravely quibbling with the words of the wri-. ten law—indifferently—to save a Bmrderer , or to hang a political opponent . One question—Of wljat is the mass of verbiage called the written Iaw 3 of England composed \ What man can throw light on such a heap \ We only feel that much of the great pi / e 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 Law !
And then we assert Fro = t , William ' , and Jones , were not treated " according to deport , " but according to unjust—though writcrn—law . And aft know and feel this—even those at whose hands these men are now suffering . Brother Chartista , rest not , pause not until you have rescued Frost , William ' i . and Jones , from tbe land of law-made demons I—Cleave r s Gazette .

TO THE F . DlTOn OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib .. —The locality txpect , now they have published a concise account of the charge against Mr . Stallwood , that you will , in accoi dance with your promise , give inhe . Ttion to the above . Every term of insult has been roaoe use of towards the locality by Mr . S ; and he has boasted , that with one it'oke of the pen to the Editor , he could hinder thy insertion of anything detrimental to him in the Star ; ami that if they hindered him lecturing in London , they could not in the country . Youm , The General Council . statement of a charge brought b 7 the chel-&ea , bro-mpton , and kensington chartists , IR 1 IKST EnMUNT ) RTAT . T . WOOn .
That at a ball , concert , and ri . ffle , got np on January 3 rd , 1842 , by the above locality , for the benefit of the Politics ! Victims , Mr . Stallwood did appropriate the whole of the profits to his own purposes until the 28 th of April , when , after repeated solicitations , he remitted the sum of 5 s . 91 to the Northern Star , as the proceeds * . of * ' tbe entertainment , and furnished the locality with a balauct-shett , showing a corresponding amou t of profit ; 00 examination of tbe balance-sheet , it proved to be a- gross tissue uf fabrication , the sum set down for printing being extortionate , the sum of 3 s . Pd . being inserted as paid by Mr . Stallwood , which he bad nevj paid , but which ¦ was paid by another member ; the 80 m of 16 * . 10 1 . being charged for music , whereas the sum paid was only 12 s . for which amount tbe locality hold the receipt , and the number of persons accounted for in the balance sheet being far
below the number that actually paid . Mr . Stallwood having refused to attend the locality after being several times summoned , and a public meeting of the members having been called ( in accordance with the instructions of the Convection ) to investigate hfs conduct , which he neglected to attend , the locality brought tbe subject under the notice of the London Delegate CjubcU , who , . after & patient investigation of the affair , and every privilege of defence having been granted to Mr . Stall-wood , came to an unanimous resolution that Mr . E . Stallwood was guilty cf robbing the fund for the Benefit of the Political Victims , and ordered their Secretary to transmit the resolution to the NorOiern Star tot insertion . This resolution not having been inserted , the above totality feel that they aie compelled , foi their own justification , to publish this ¦ statement .

THE NEW EXECUTIVE AND THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION ; TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —Arjtniay be faiirly presumed that the New Executive Committee are now fally installed in the duties of tbeir office , We trust they will turn thefr Berlons attention to tbe plan of organization , so that it may be carried out for the future to the very letter . We consider this more necessary aV the present time thau ever . The Association Ibrapidly on tfre increase--the crisis of the nation's fate draws near—the Indnstrious classes are seeking for political knowledge : the enemy is at worir to weaken and divide bur j anbs , and hunger and : devastation are making fearful and rapid strides in the once peaceful and happy homes of .. ths artisaDS of England . Now is the time when men
begin to thinks and to ask each other " What shall we do to be saved ? " and jn our opinion no time can be more -fitting than the present , for the Executive Committee ! to put forth their mighty talents to direct the movement ; ant ! create such an unanimity of feeling and of action as shall strike terror into tfee ranks of the enemy . That the Execufcive Comtriittee 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 adhered to . the whole of the Association ¦ will follow the example in all their transactions , which will ^ ive to the organization a-nImpetus that will defy all attempts to misbad and divide the people .
With" those . few . observations , ; and ardently wishing for the freedom of the whole people , I remain . . Sir ,-On behalf of thfi ConticiUors of the National Charter Association , resident in Hull , /¦ .- ¦ ' . James QRASSBYv . Biib-Secrotary . Hull , July 13 th , 1842 . V P .

HUDDERSPiBIiP . —Meeting . of Ratepayers—A meeting of ratepayers * , called by the Board of Surveyors of Highways for -the township of Huddersfie . ld , was holden in the largs room of the Pack Horse Inn , on Wednesday last , at eleven o'iolock in the forenoon , to consider and determine upon a claim for compensation : tnade by " Varley and Conipany" for ailedgnd injury dona to property by the raising of the highway passing '' pHprefoot-mill . ' It -tuvned . out that the Surveyors , beforft they determined on mnking a nrach-wantpd improvrmont in the road leading past the mill .-. just named . up to Mold Green and on to the Wakefleld roa d , bad consulted the own era of property adj oi ni rig the portion to be raised ; and had iarran ^ ed with
them that tho private approaches to the raised and improved public road should bo made at private cost . To this arraneement the firm styling itself " Yarley and Company" weriB piartics . one of the park- , liers being present ; and acquiesing , in the raeetine of surveyors and owners of property . When the improvtment was partly effected this Company demanded thaf . the Surveyors should enter their private mill yafd , and * raise it to a level with the public road . The Surveyors properly refused to thus misapply the rates entrusted to their cb-rage , and "Varley and Company" caused them to be served with notice of action For compensation , for damage done to their property bj njending and improving the public high way 1 It was Iherefore determined
to lay the ma tter before the rate payers in vestry assembled . A very animated discussi'in ensued , after the above statement of facts had been lavd before the meeting , by the chairmen , ( M * . Joseph Shaw , overseer . ) and . a member of the Board of Surveyors , in which Messrs . T . SHcph ^ rd , J . Brook , J . Hobson , J . Leach , 11 . Armitagf , D . Hirst , Sec , &c , took jpart , A ctise from the Law Journal was brought under the consid' ration of the meeting , by Mr . Joshua Hobson . which" * completely -me . ¦ the point as issue . An actioB had been . - . brought against a Board of Surveyors ) inder precisely similar circumstances , the raising of a public-road-
adjoining the plaintiff ' ^ private property . He sued for injury and damage done through the rendering of h's gate and carriaije way us less by thf raising of the public highway . Under the direction of Justice Pauk , the Jury found a verdict for tlio defendapts . Tho plaintiff moved for a new trial ; and Justices Batley , Holbovd , and Littledale 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 . Hpbsdfl , a ; nd seconded by Mr . T . Shepherd , was unanimously passed :-rr
" That this meeting having carefully weighed the whole of the facts laid before them by the Board of Surveyors of the Highways , ia of opinion that th ^ cMm made npon the Board for compensation , by ; 'V O "' e ? and Company , ' is at once u : juf-t and .- illegal : uniust , because the firm trading under the designation Varley and Company ' were parties to an agreement made between the Surveyors and the oWriera of property a ^ j ^ iningthe then . projected improvement , in that portion of the highway leading from Shore Head' to the' Navigation Bridge , ' which agreement wis to the effect that the said owners should make and altar their own approaches to the said improved binhway : illegal , becausa wbetlwr they were parties to the afososaid a « reementornoi , the
law instructs the Surveyors of the Highways to consult the PUBLIC BENEVlTi and not individual aa-cantago ; and huthoriz-s no such expenditure of the rute ^ - payera * money as the making of private approaches to a public road . While this Hiestingi therefore , thanks the Board of Surveyors for resisting the demand fur compensation made by' Varley and Company , ' and for calling the ratepayers together to consult as to such claim ; it also INSTRUCTS the said Surveyors ef the Highways to continue to resiBt , by all arid every legal means , tha said claim for compensation made by ' Varley and Company .

ETIRtpRDINARV SlGN OF THE " PRESSURE ; OF THE Times . "—Perhaps no one tact could possibly be adduced to ehow the " dreadful times" we live in , and their bxtraordinary " pressure ' even upon " professional" men ( to sa . y nothin « of octty shopkeepers and tradesmen , ) than the following ;—Aii 1 eminent firm , composed of " limbs of the law , ' - and **• doing' * business at a Bhort distance frcm FiATiYE Fokd , ( a place in the immediate neighbourhood of Huddersfieldj ) have suffered so much of late from " want of custom , f' that they have been obliged , to eke out a living , to add to their frgiumato vocations the most unusual one ( for attorneys ) of wholesale tigjobbers \ Their first essay in this new lino was made by one of the partners in this ( now )
law-andpig-firm about a month ago * When he purchased from a dealer in the Liverpool ' . market no lews than forty-six pigs at once for about £ 60 . Having made the purchase , and paid the money | and having sh-pt on h's bargmn ^ he' was not so much in love with it as when at first entered into : for reilection 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 " 0 fay ' at ,. the job of selling them ( singly ) out again , at a profit , In this eniergen'sy they had recurreriee to . the able advice and counsel of —— " Coxv , " Esq ., 6 oh ; . of Joseph C ( x , the eminent common carrier of HudderafieLi . ( O [ his mother we are silent . ) The result of the cont ' ereu 8 e was , a determination to admit Mr / " ipoxv "
into the firm , as a p . vutner in the pig jobbing business . Since then all has gone on bmoothiy . ; Th » first lot is nearly disposed of > The law ** professionals" aTe getting a clear insighk into the arts and mysteries of pig-jobbery . A prospect of * doing " well is opened up before them . They be « in to b » ye a hope ot eta , nding up , notwithstanding the ' hard times ; " and they already bless the day that saw them dealers in " porkers ' - to . save their bacon !—Perhaps the most astounding part of this curious business has yet to be mentioufld .

LEEDS . —The Cheat Wizard of the North opened his .

If h ^ be , as eonve imaffine , in connection with a certain old gentleman , ( nho shall be namsless , ) most certainly the latter can boast of having a really clever and accomplished acquaintance . The " magic circle" is gp lendid . Most of the Wizard ' s apparatus is made of silver ; and the coup deil of the whole is dazzling and striking . To parncuiarise one portion of the parformance as more worthy of
notice than another is difficuk J but we must mention the concluding trick—" the Gipsy ' s Wonder Kitchen " . Let our readers imagine a large cooking pan , suspended , gtp « y-fashion , from a frainn-work of wood , and having no conimunicatioh with the floor or anything else , other than the rope by which it ia suspended from its Biipporter over the fire placed under it . Let them further imagine six dead and dressfed pigeons placedl in this pan * , along with six gallons , or more , of water . ( That the pigeons were pigeions , and that the pan was filed with wateri we pav ? with our own eyes . ) Let them farthor imagine that when the pan is uncovered , and you aru expecting ; to see the pigeons turned out cooked , a'td ready to eat , mx live pigeons should fly out of
the pan instead , and that every drop of water has disappeared .

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE . ( From the Dullin 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 wiih his family at No . 1 , Alberttarrace , nearly opposite the Rathgar-road , in the above locality . The ramour was Tery current in town ' on Saturday eveDin ^ r , that Mr . Byrne htd met his death under strange circumstances , and to our reporter making tl > e nece ? savy inquiries , the following face ? , which may be reiied on as corrcof , wero communicated to him . From private information received on Saturday eveningby Inspector Finhamore ,
that effieer at ouce despatched a messenger for Dr . M'Car . hy , one of the county coroners , who arrived at the Rathmines Btation-house about eleven o ' clock , and with the inspector proceeded to the house of Mr , Byrne , and aft ^ r some preliminary conversation , the parties proceeded to the back drawing-room , where they obseTVPd Mr . Byrne lying dead on his bed . Dr , MTarthy directed the inspector to summon a jury , in order to h- - >! d sn inquest 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 appearance presented by the corpse—it was livid in many parts , and tho chest , head , n ? ek , and arms , were what is commonly called " black ind blue , " as if these portions of the frame
had suffered severe injury . It beiug late at night , the coroner thought it sdvisablo to adjourn the inquiry . Two young geiitlemen , named Luke and Joseph Wall , sons of Airs . Byrne , wifa of the deceased , together with Mr ? . Byrne her-elf , and her servant ? , Catherine Finue ^ an and Christopher Tel l , were , by order of the coroner , taken into custody by Mr . Inspector Finnamore . These persons wc-re brouibt before thf coroner and jury , and , after being duly caut'onc' not to say any : hing that might-be . used against them herea ' ter , ihe coroner procepded to exaroiro them , but not on oath . From thestatament of Mf-Pirs . Wall , is appeand that thdr stepfather had bf-cn ill for six or seven days , but they knew it only by rumour , or report , in the hou-e .
They were not in tho room where he lay at 8 l ! , nor did they see him during the time .
