We direct attention to the following extract from a lengthy article on the horrors of transportation , is the current nnmber of Cleave ' * Gazette . 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 . TJllaihorne says" The penal settlement of Norfolk Island is a small island about a thousand miles from Sidney , to "which convicts are re-trangperted from N . S . Wales . Port Arthur is also a penal settlement , to which convicts ace re-transported 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 bull dogs , from shore to shore . These dogs have been sb trained , that , en the least noise , they give the alarm , by day or by sight , asd so successful has been this guard , that sot more than tjro prisoners were ever known to escape ; one of these vas 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 12 Q 9 criminulB in Norfolk Island , and nearly as many at Port Ai + hnr . They are fettered with 7 ieavych 3 int , ftarrassed tcffli heavy work , ami fed on salt meat and maize oread . Their existence i $ 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 yon , 'being of the moat incessant and galling description the settlement can produce ; and mxy disobedience of
orders , or terotffence , or other misconduct , is instantaneoudy punished viifh the lcuh \ ' Bo severe indeed , are the privations of these men , so 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 mise ries 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 committed from a vehement desire ef being relieved from their own intense ml « ery . Tbe late Governor of Van pieman ' s TJmfl states two eases of this kind , in one of 'Which the man murdered his dearest friend , saying he was ¦ 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 skull of his comrade with a spade when at -work ; he pleaded guilty , and declared that his sole object was to obtain

his own deliverance out of life . Several snob oases have occurred . The late Chief Justice of New 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 ? ' said , ' I cannot say ............ 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 sentence , 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 bod as the reBt ; 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 still 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 mercy , —thus to inflict injuries without discrimination of effects beyond answering their purpose to
« Kill—Kill—KM" . We hare no morbid sympathies with criminals of any degree ; we do not desire to see vice stalk forth in open day unfettered , but we wish to Bee the fountain of the law purified ; we wish the " majesty of the law" vindicated , —the penalties measured by offences , and justly administered . We like not a body of judges gravely quibbling with the words of the wriUen law—indifferently—to save a murderer , or to hang a political opponent . One question—Of what is the mass of verbiage called the written laws of England composed ] What man can throw light on such a heap I We only feel that much of the great pile is due to the exercise of ihe 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 Frost , Williams , and Jones , were not treated " according to desert , " but according to unjust—though written—law . And all know and feel this—even 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 I—Cleave ' s Gazette .

HUDDERSFIELD . —— Meeting of Hatepaters . —A meeting of ratepayers ^ called by the Board of Surveyors of Highways for the township of Huddersfield , was holden in the largo room of the Pack Horse Inn , on Wednesday last , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon , to consider and determine upon a claim for compensation made . by " Varley and Company" for alledeed injury done to property by the raising of the * highway passing * 'Shorefoot-mill . " It turned out that the Surveyors , before they determined on making a much-vvarited improvement in the road leading past the mill just named , up to Mold Green and on to the Wakefield road , had consulted the owners of property adjoining the portion to be raised j and had arranged with them that the Private approaches to the raised and
improved public roafi should be made at private cest . To this arrangement the firm styling itself " ? arley and Company" were partiesi , one of the partners being present , and acquiesing , in the meeting of surveyors and owners of property . When the im ^ - provementwaa partly effected this Company demanded that the Surveyors should enter their private mill yard , and Taise ib to a lev « l with the pnblic road . The Surveyors properly Tefnsed to thus misapply the rates entrusted to their chrage , and "Varley and Company" caused them to be served with notice of action for compensation , for damage done to their property ' bj mending and improving the publio highway ! It was therefore determined to lay . the matter before the rate-payers in vestry
assembled . A very animated diBcuBsion ensued , after the above statement of facts had been laid before the meeting , by the chairmany ( Mr . Joseph Shaw , overseer , ) and a member of the Board of Surveyors , in which Messrs . T . Shepherd , ' J . Brook , J . Hobson , J . Leach , R .: Arinitage , D . Hirst , &c , &o ., took part . A ease from the Law Journal was brought under the consideration of the meeting , by Mr . Joshua Hobson . which completely met the point at issue . Ah action had been brought against a Board of Surveyors under precisely similar circumstances , the raising of a pnblic road : adjoining the plaintiff ' s private property . He sued for
injury and damage done through the rendering of his gate and carriage way usf less by the raising of the publio highway . Under the direction of Justice Park , the Jury found a verdict for the defendants . The plaintiff moved for a new trial ; and Justices Bayley , Holbovd , and LiTTLEDAtE refused the motion on the ground that an action could not be maintained against publio servants acting for the public advantage , unlesB it wa 3 proved that they abused the power they possesped 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 Board of Surveyors of the Highways , is of opinion that the claim made upon the Board for compensation , by Yarley and Company ;* is at once unjust and illegal : uwiist , because the firm trading under the designation' yarley and Company' were parties to an agreement madebetween the Surveyors and the owners of property adjoining tbe then projected improvement , in that portion of the highway leading from ' Shore Head' to the Nayigation Bridge , ' which agreement was to the effect that the said owners should make and alter their own approaches to the said improved highway : illegal ^ because whether they were parties to the afosesaid agreement or not , the
law instructs the Surveyors of the Highways to consult the PUBtIC BENKFIT , and not indiTldual advantagoi ; and authorizes no snch flxpenditure of the ratepayers' money as the making of private approaches ^ to a publio road . While this meeting , therefore , thanks the Board of Surveyors for resisting the demand for compeBBation made by'Varley and Company , ' and for calliDg the ratepayers together to consult as to such claim ; it also instbdcts the said Surveyors ef the Highways to continue to reisist , by all and every legal means , the said claim for compensation made by Varley and Company . ' " " . ¦[¦ - ¦'¦ . :. - ' ; .. , . ¦ ¦ ; ' - : ¦ : ¦ ¦ . ¦ ;¦ ¦;„ ¦ ¦ .. ; - . ; : ' ' ' " . ¦ . - ¦¦ ¦; . . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed . v
Ettbaobpinabt Sign of thb " Pressure of thb Times . ' *—Perhaps no one fact could possibly be adduced to show the "dreadful times" we liva in , and their extraordinary M pressure * even upon " professional ' men ( to say nothing of petty Bhopkeepers and tradesmen , ) thau the following : —An eminent firm , composed of "limbs of ih& law , " and \ doing' > business at a short ; distance from Battye Ford , ( a place in the immediate neighbourhood iof Huddp ^ fteld , } bs , f «> suffered so much of late from ¦ " ^ want of custoiu , « 3 ^ at they have been obliged , to eke put a living , to add to thei » legitimate vooations the most urcusua / one ( for attorneyn > of wholesale pig .-jobbers ! Their : first essay in thta new line was made by one of the partners in this ( now )
law-andpig-nrm 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 bargainee 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 pie ' s flesh in the world ; and that though they might manage to buy a lot together for a given sum , they were not quite " o / ay" at the job of selling them ( singly ) out again , at a profit . In this emergency they had recurrence to the able advice and counsel of - — " Coxt , " Esq ., ion of Joseph Cox , the eminent common carrier of Hudderefield . ( Of his mother we are silent . ) The result of the confereuee was , a determination to admit Mr . " Coxy "
into the firnii as a RABTNEa in ; the pig-jobbmg business . Since then all has gone on smoothly . The first lot is uearly disposed of . The law " professionals" are getting a clear iueight into the arts and mysteries of pig-jobbery . A prospeot of * ' doing ' well is opened up before them . They begin to have a hope of standing 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 mentioned . Mr . "Coxv" deolares , that while his connection which the lawyers has given them a knowledge of his " profession . " he has also acquired an intimate acquaintance with the quirks and quidities of xhb tAW and the : lawyers J " Reciprocity" is his motto ; and already overtureB are made to duly inatai him a full member of this " most respectable" firm I

MIDDLETON . —State op Tiude .- — -The cotton trade here is in a most deplorable condition ; there are only three cotton mills here , and they ire all stopped , and have been for some time ; two of them belonging to Mr . Bur ton have totally given up mauufacturing , and the workpeople are in a most distressed condition . / IiEEDS . —The Great Wizabd of the NosI'h 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 been nightly crowded with wonder-stricken admirers . He is at once the moat dexterous and the most gentlemanly of all Wizards . If he be , as some imaeino , in connection with a
certain , old gentleman , ( who shall be nameless , ) most certainly the latter can boast of having a really clever and accompliBhed acquaintance . The '' magic circle" is splenaid . Most of the Wizard ' s apparatus is madei of silver ; arid the coup deii of the whole is dazzliDg and striking . To particularise one portion of the performance : as more worthy of notice than another is difficult ; but we must mention the concluding tricks— " the Gipsy ' s Wonder Kitchen . '' Let our readers imagine a large cooking pan , suspended , gipsy-fashion , from a frame-work of wood , arid having no communication 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 imagine six dead and dressed pigeons placed in this pan , along with six gallons , or more , of water . ( That the ; pigeons were pigeons , and that the pan was filed with water , we saw with our own eyes . ) Let them further
imagine that when the pan is uncovered , and you ar « expecting to see the pigeons turned out cooked , and ready to eat , six live pigeons should fly : Out of the pan instead , and that every drop of water has disappeared . Let , we say , our readers imagine this ; and is there one of them within reach of the Music Hall that will not hastes to see tho wonders performed , of one of v ? hich we have ! attempted a faint description 1 During the next week we perceive an addition will be made to the performances , which will be of itself worth the eum charged for seeing the whole . The dissolving views from the polytechnic Institution , are to be introduced for the first time , to a Leeds audience . Those who have visited London , and had the high gratification to witness this pleasing exhibition , can appreciate the treat in etore for the seekers of amusement in Leeda those who hare not had aach an opportunity will do well not to miss it now that it is brought homo to their own doors .

Gig Accident . —About ten o ' clock yesterday morning , as Doctor Hobson and his servant were coming smartly , but by no means dangerously fast , down B-Jtrmandtofts , in the Doctor ' s ^ ig , they had a misfortune , which might have been very serious . The near wheel , from some cause or other , came off as the gig was going . The Doctor tumbled out , and the man , with considerable agility , making a clear vault to the other side , leaped put , but fell on his
deaoent , while theaffnghted norse went oil at a rapid speeddownthe street . The mansprung instantly upon his feet , and followed the horse , while the Doctor lay for a few seconds seemingly somewhat stunned with the fall . A flock of sheep were just passing down the bottom of York Road , and the horse dashed through the midst of them , dragging after him the now unwieldy vehicle . He then turned up York Road , and raised a terrible commotion among the women and children , of whom there were , as usual , a large number idling about . He was finally stopped opposite the Riding School , and appeared to have sustained no other injury than a out in the , off far leg . We are happy to observe that tfle Doctor and his man are both uninjured , and that a child who was said to have been run ovtr was not hurt .

The Association is rapidly ontbe Increase—' the crisis of the nation ' s fate draws near—the industrious classes are seeking for political knowledge : the enemy is at work to weaken and divide our ranks , and hunger and devastation are making fearful and rapid
strides in the once peaceful and happy homes of the artisans of Englaudi Now is the time when nien begin to think ; and to ask each other «• what shall we do to be saved ?

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE . CFrom the DuMn Morning Register . J The neighbourhood of Rathmines was thrown iato the greatest state of excitement on Saturday evening in oonsequence of a rumour whieh prevailed relative to the death of Mr . Augustus Byrne , aged about 28 or 30 , who resided with nis family at No . 1 , Albertterrace , nearly opposite the Rathgar-road , in the above locality . The rumour was very current in town Jon Saturday evening , that Mr . Byrne had met his death under strange circumstances , and to our reporter making the necessary inquiries . the following facts , which maybe relied on as correct , were communicated to him . From private information
received on Saturday evening by Inspector Finnamore , that officer at once despatched a messenger for Dr . M'Carthy , one of the county coroners , who arrived at the Bathmines station-house about eleven o ' clock , and with the inspector proceeded to the bouse of Mr . Byrne , and after some preliminary conversation , the parties 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 order to hold an 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 the chest ,
head , neck , and arms , were what is commonly called "black and blue , " as if these portions of the frame bad suffered severe injury . It being late at night , the coroner thought it advisable to adjourn the in-Juiry . Two young gentlemen , named Luke and oseph Wall , sons of Mrs . Byrne , wife of the deceased , together with Mrs . Byrne herself , and her servants , Catherine Finnegan and Christopher Telt , were , by order of the coroner , taken into custody by Mr . Inspector Finnamore . These persons were brought before the coroner and jury , and , after being duly cautioned 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 Messrs . Wall , it appeared that their stepfather had been ill for six or seven days , but they knew it only by rumour , or report , in the house .
They were not in the room where he lay at all , nor did they see him dnring 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 mattre until they heard he was dead . The statement of Catherine Finnegan and Christopher Telt was to the following effect : —For the last six or seven days they did not see the deceased , but heard he was unwell in bed . On several occasions they brought up tea , coffee , beefsteaks , rashers of bacon , and other victuals , to the bed-room , but did not go into the apartment . Mrs . Byrne ( they said ) used 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 the beside and heard to her great surprise a gurgling sort of noise in his throat ; she wished to send for a doctor , but deceased would not allow any person to be prepresent ; she , however , sent for Mr . Harvey , an apothecary , who , on his 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 same time directing Mr . Finnimore to take charge of Mrs . Byrne , the Messrs . Wa ll , and the servants of the , deceased , which 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 under the surveillance of a police officer , until the result of the investigation is made known . There are several witnesses to be examined . Sargeohs Fox , Mitchell , and Ellis , were engaged yes-Urday for upwards of three hours in a VMk mortem examination of the body ; the result . of WOP inquiry of course can only be known on the inquest Great crowdB of persons had collected about the place during the greater portion of the day . Several gentlemen , friends of the deceased , called during the day . There are varions rumours afloat respecting this strange and sudden affair , none of which it would be prudent to state in detail until the investigation closed . The jury will assemble this evening at five o ' clock . It IB . composed of the most respectable persons residing in the locality .
