These few remarks on a horrible system of punishment , beneath which so many of our dearest friends have suffered and are suffering , may aot prove uaiatereging . Transportation is evidently fraught with needless cruelty , evil , and expense ; While , at the same time , it is deficient in tvery ead which should be kept in Yiew , at all times , in the administration of penal justice .

BEPORTED DEATH OF MR . O'CONNOR . Soxs crafty knaves , anxious " to turn aa honest penny , " have last week picked up a few KmJfptm / y . in some of the villages ahoat Manchester ; and , as we are informed , in some of the streets of that towa , by crying a most mis erably ragged and dirty afiair of a small paper , purporting to be aa authentic record of O ^ Cojwob ' s death . The following is a copy of the ingeniously ooaocived , though clumsily executed bulletin , which was iatended to torn popularity to good account }—
SowaaiDaAiH o * FsiMus OXomioa , Esq . K G * ou--Weh » Te this day to record the melanchdy and sadden death of Feargus O'Connor , Esq , If * <** ¥ •** . The feoeased gentleman was oteerred by the turakey walking by his bedside ; he suddenly fe ll tothe ground on his face , aad in an instant tamed himself apon his back , without utterng a smglc groan . The turnkey instantl y informed the Governor , who sent for asargeontobleedhim :
but he seat for the stomach-pump , and immediately applied it to the deceased , when he took from hu ?•¦¦ & * I r e qoaatity of a poisonous drug , which he said he eoaM not name aatil it was analysed A namber of other surgeons were called ia , who all declared it to be poison which Mr . Thornton had fcakeafrom the deceased ' s stomach . We are unable , at present , to say by what means the unfortunate man caae by his death , bat we shall publish farther particulars to-aorrow . " - *^
There were Tery few places in which , so far as we can learn , the rogues ventured to practise this profitable hoax ; bat the eonsternatien produced by the report , wherever it was received , has brought to fur office letters of inquiry from so msay parties , that w « Sad it necessary to take this mode of assuring them that the whole matter , if net " a weak invention of the enemy , " is a vile hoax of some anprindpled " patterer" for the double pleasore of gain and mischief ; Mr . O'COHWOB is alive and weB ; and . we fervently hope he will yet live many years to plague the factions and defend the right .

TRANSPORTATION . Thb present system of inflicting punishment , by transporting the offenders to a distant land and dooming them to a life of incalculable suffering , is injurious to the mother country , fatal to the penal colonies , and subverstre of those objects which all punishment should attain . We will select the aoo 0 unt 8 and facts relating to Botany Bsy as an flhstratioa , for it will be found that the same objections , which apply to one convict settlement ,
win apply to all . The whole expense is borne by the Government , that is the people , of this country . The GoTernor of the colony always retains an authority over the convicts , aad acts as their gaoler ; he provides them with habitations , employment , aad food ; they are placed under his sole control ; he may employ them either in public or private works . Hard labour ( with some few exceptions ) is the l ot of all , and exemption from it cannot be purchased by money .
Transportation is a complex punishment , composed , firstly , of banishment ; and secondly , of hard labour : bgjiig ^ tnftnt , which is most defective on account of its great inequality , falling on some much more heavily than on others ; hard labour , which , in connection with banish Beat , aad carried on under every possible fi » dTanuge , fails to produce any beneficial effect We shall be able to observe the remaining features of this plan , while comparing its nature and results with the ends contemplated by punishment . First—The main object of penal justice is example ; the
prevention of similar oSa&ees , by its influence , on the mindB of bystanders . Of ibis property transportation is almost totally destitute It is not asen , nor felt , by others ; it is hidden , and removed from view . Punishments , which are inflicted at the Antipodes can make bat a transient impression here . The example of which we are speaking is more strongly enforced by pparent than by real suffering ; but , in this cue , though little or none of the affliction appear to our senses , yet it ia neither less substantial , nor less severe . Confinement for an unlimited
tuaemthe prisons or the hulks , a voyage of from six to sight months , itself a state of constant misery , from the crowded state of the ships , aad the restraint to which convicts are subjected , the dangers of the Bea , exposure to contagious diseases , which are often attended with the most fatal consequences . These are all accompaniments of transportation , * ad serve as a fit introduction to a state of ta&ishmeni and bondage in a distant region ; in winch the means of subsistence are precarious , where the sufferers are employed ia constant hard labour , and exposed to occasional
8 t * rration , without the means of mending their con-&um , aad without the hope of ever leaving the baneful shores to which they have been taken . "Ot only is this system deficient ia example , but , in Buy eases , it actually operates as an incentive to enae . A variety of pleasing iHasiouB will , ia the ttiaas of many persons , particularly the yoasg , be wanected with a distant Toyage , a new country , BBmerous imociateB , hope of future independence * ftdagreeable adventures , so as entirely to hide the Painful part of the picture .
2 . The next object of punishment is reformation . Bo we find signs of this in New South Wales 1 A complete history of the first sixteen years of tnis ° > lony was written by Judge Advocate Colliks which affords valuable evidence of its true con-^ itioa . Though this work was composed with yiewB favourable to the transporting remedy , yet & perusal leaves an impression of sadness and dis-£° 5 t . The men in general seem to form & society <* f wily profligates , while the women , everywhere ^ ke the better part of humanity , here form a re-

TO THE BURGESSES OF THE NORTH-EAST WARD OF THE BOROUGH OF LEEDS . Having issued a placard , warning you to be neutral on the day of election , I hasten to clear away any doubts which may exist in your minds as to the consistency of such a precednre . What I have dons has not been without some forethought ; and I have also counted the cost , trusting to the faiure for a revelation of such drcumstanees as shall conrince the most sceptical that truth and righteousness alone have been my guide .
It is true the committee of Chartists -who attended the meeting called to nominate a candidate , after having retired to consult on the subject , decided in favour of Mr . Ayrey . As rf ^ iinMi of that meeting it is also true that I expressed my satisfaction wi th that decision , and pledged myself to do my utmost to ensure his return . That I did so , my reriest enemy must allow ; yea , I laboured more than they all , " and I soon saw tkat you , the working men , cauld at any time you thought proper carry the man of your own choice . Was I doing all this to serve John Ayrey—a partya faction ? VerUy , I tell yen no ! I was sincerely aiming to bring about the political redemption of the working classes—I was working for " principle , " and , therefore , as a true watchman for my own order , I kept a shAp look-out , lest , after all , your interests should be betrayed . Well ,
" Coming erente cast their shadows before . " Your friend , Parker , had his doubts on the night of nomination , and expressed them to me ; and nothing but the pledge which Mr . Ayrey eaye to abide by the decision of a public meeting which might afterwards be called , as to whether he should act altogether for Universal SuB&age , or continue to forward the Household measure , determined him to giye bis cooperation . Many circumstances concurred to induce me to suspect that Parker was more than half right , and that you were in great danger of being used merely as tools for the furtherance of factious objects . In spite of myself I began to " feel a change pass e ' er the spirit of my dream , " yet knew not how to act with benefit to your cause ; and , therefore , all the while kept working on . The orer-wrought plot , at last , blew up , and
the " row" in the Bast Ward brought about thia " wheel-about and turn-about" so necessary to the safety of your interests . Next morning , two of the seven members who form the central committee accosted me , one in the street , the other in bis own shop wfth , "where are Parker ' s canvassing book *? Bare you them ? Give them to me . " I calmly replied 1 would not , saying I was as able to take care of the books as either of them , and would only give them up at the Committee meeting that evening . Then came a storm of invective . One said Parker was a Tory spy , and that he should not work any longer ; and that ' r&thsr than allow it , he would lose Jehn Ayrey ' s election . The other roared out that he was a d d political thief , and should be turned off , 4 c &c Another of the Committee , in the course of the day , sent for me to his own house , for the purpose of asking me to give him tile canvass books .
I went at the proper time in the evening to the meeting , and made a foil surrender of all the books and papers in my possession . There were only three members present Little was said , and less done . Everywhere I could now aee it was the intention of the ruling few to cheat you out of Universal Suffrage ; and those few , allow me to remind you again , were Mr . Ayrey * intimate friends . What , then , could I expect 1 I knew Parker to be " a good man and true "—I knew him to have been deputed to attend the Tory meetings , to pot certain questions alluded to by our enemies . I knew where and hi whose presence he wrote the questions which were made use of in "the East Ward 1
• row . " I knew that they were not the eoncocting of Tories . I knew , also , that bis reasons for going to ask theBe questions originated in information received to the effect that certain parties , who had long been in the pay of " Israel , " had been heard to say that Mr . Burrows was ready with answers all " cut and dried ; " and it was for the purpose of defeating such a concoction , and testing the candidates properly , that this attempt ™ made by Parker . In fine , I knew that Parker had had been in all this , acting in strict conformity with the principles which both he , I , and every honest Chartist profess ; and to have stood by and seen an upright and tried brother crushed would have been base— " I had rather be a dog , and bay the moon , Than such a Ronun .

six « eight inches thick , both at the top , bottom , ends , and sides ; then there should be a partition of the same kind and tbiekneas go from end to end down the middle of each carriage ; then there should be a partition betwixt every passenger of the same kind and thickness ; then every passenger ought to be fastened in his seat with something of the same kind , yet not so fastened but that he or she may sit free and easy in their places i thus the interior of the carriage would be in 1 Mb form : —
1 1 I I I I | 1 | 1 ii II 111 iTT bo that let a check or fall oorae which way ever it might , they would always fall soft and thereby be preserved . To prevent any harm taking place from a col lision of engines or carriages , a large soft substance should be placed behind the last carriage , and before the first , or between them alL The engine-man and guard should be protected in tiie same way . Sir , If this short advice be adopted , I am confident many lives and limbs will henceforth be saved ; If not they will be wilfully sacrificed . Sir , I have done what I felt , in my conscience , ^ tompolled to do ; I now leave the subject with yea and other journalists to give It a publication if you think proper . Proprietors of railways may take this hint if the } will . I have heard many people say " they will nevei venture their lives on the railways unless something o this sort be done .
Yours , truly , J . K . A constant reader of the Northern Star . Oct . 36 th , 1840 . P . S . If this plan were adopted thousands would take a trip oa the railways for pleasure excursions , who dare not and will not venture on the present system .

What comes next 1 Why , a man who was poaching on Mr . Martin ' s land . Mr . Martin being his judge , he was sent to York as a felon . Comment is
useless on such villanous laws , and its administrators . This is the man who said , when Hoey Vallance , and Widdop , were taken , on the 15 th of August , 1839 , that they were three of as great villains as could be found . Gentle readers , judge for yourselves , whether three poor , industrious men , labouring to better the condition of their fellow-man , or the magistrate who , throwing to one side all decorum , presides as judge and prosecutor on the bench , and coasigns a poor man to York Castle for poaching—which , we ask , is the villain among them 1

After three cheers for the Charter the meeting broke up , the anti-Corn Law men not being able to conceal their mortification at the result , and declaring they would not have had their lecture-room turned into a Chartist meeting-house for £ 50 .

BIKOLEY . M Do UNTO OTHERS AS YB SHOULD WISH THEY should do unto you . "—Last week , a poor man , named Jowett , who lives in King-street , in this town , had a child very poorly ; and in consequence of its not being likely to recever from its illness , its parents considered they had better send for the clergyman , to get the child baptised , so that , in case of death , the child might have the funeral service read over it , in the usual form . The curate was immediately sent for , but he not arriving in any decent time after the first message was delivered , they again sent , and he still did not make his appearance . The parents then became alarmed , and considered it would be the best way to apply to another minister of the Gospel , to get the ceremony performed over the child . Accordingly , they went
for the Baptist minister , and as soon as they had delivered their message to him , he immediately complied , and instantly went and baptised the child . As soon aa the ceremony was over , the minister , on leaving the house , met with the Church curate at the door , and informed him that he had been called in to baptise the child , and he had done bo the curate's reply was that he had done perfectly right , and on that account the parents considered that the order of baptism was duly performed . The child in a very short time died , and was on Sunday last taken down to the church for interment ; but when they arrived in the church porch , cxpeoting the Vicar or his curate to meet them in the usual way , they were informed tfeat the child had not been duly baptised , and on that account they would not read the funeral service over it . —Correspondent .
bOUOHBOBOUGH . Bastilbs op the Nkw Poor Law . —In one of those paradises of the Whigs ia this part , there ia a very humane matron , or one who is both master and matron , 'aad the following is a proof of her kindness of heart : —A female was under her care who had a child , this child was afflicted with the small pox , and , being very ill , she made app ] ication for a light for the night , which unreasonable request was , of course , refused , and the child died in the arms of the mother , early in the night , and of which she
could have no knowledge only by feeling if the breath was gone . She also acted very brutishly about its burial . On another occasion , a female being ill , the attendants supposed she was dying , applied for a light , which was refused , and she said , referring to the woman that was ill , why does she not make up her mind to die ? When will the working classes be alive to their interest , and unite to obtain a share in the making of the laws that that , and ail other laws that press unjustly on them , may be abolished , and that the spirit of our forefathers might be upon us !
