FROST AT PORT ARTHUR,

(From Fraser's Magazine.)

In the first ward of the Penitentiary we entered,
Jones, the Chartist watchmaker, was acting over-
seer to the mess, which comprised some dozen refrac-
tory- lads. Jones said grace for them before meat.
He appeared to be circumspect and orderly, although
upon his first arrival he wore the aspect of a sottish,
dissipated mechanic, and was disposed to talk rather
freely and unwarrantably. A hint, however, sufficed
—he has learned his place, and seems to by in full
health and vigour. When not employed in trifling
repairs in his own trade, he works in the nailers'
shop. Williams is likewise at Port Arthur. In the
first instance, having assumed a specious character,
and being in some degree conversant with mining, he
was sent to the coal mines. There he inveigled some
of his co-mates, built a boat, and effected a tempo-
rary escape. Being re-captured, he was forwarded
to Port Arthur, where he at present works in one of
the chain gangs. I did not see Williams. He is re-
presented as a bad, designing man.
At Impression Bay Frost is at work : and having
promised an acquaintance of mine and his, a man of
fortune in England, who at one time had unhappily
imbibed Chartist ideas, that I would, if possible, see
Frost, I availed myself of the present opportunity to
have an interview. It was never my fortune to see
Frost at home ; and as he a?proached I should have
sought in vain to decipher the Ch;rtist leader—the J.,
P. of Lord John Russell, in the careworn prisoner with
winged leather cap in probation livery of felon grey.
" I was anxious to see you, Mr. Frost," I began,
" because I parted from a friend of yours in August
last, who still entertains a lively interest in your fate;
and I promised Mr. R if practicable, to exchange
a viva voce communication with you."
At mention of Mr. R—'s name a sort of flush
overspread the countenance of Frost, and I almost
think a tear, and yet I could not be sure, started to
his eye.
" I hope, Sir," he said, "you left Mr. R— in good
health ?" "You are, however, no doubt aware that
Mr. R— has also paid somewhat of a penalty to the
Chartist monster ?"

" Yes, Sir, I am ; I saw an account of his impri-
sonment, and one, also, of his liberation. Pray what
does Mr. R- think of us ?" " Oh, he is radically
cured. lie considers he acted very like a fool, al-
though his folly stopped at a point immeasurably
short of yours."
" I mean, Sir, what hopes does he entertain with
respect to our pardon ?" Very little indeed, I ap-
prehend. For my own part, I should conceive that
to be a question beyond the pale of a hope."
Indeed !" echoed Frost, seemingly slightly moved.
" But, Sir, did you see the debate on the subject,
which was decided against by the Speaker's voice
alone ? " "I do not," I replied, "recollect such a de-
bate ; but of a pardon, I conceive, there is no reason•
able ground for the entertainment-of a hope."
" I don't know, Sir ; I may be wrong, I may be
disappointed, but I certainly d 6 entertain such a
hope:"

It seems," I continued, " like cruelty to argue
against you in such a matter, still I cannot help ex-
pressing my belief that you are wildly deceiving your-
self."

" You see," said Frost, clinging to the hope he
could not bring his mind to relinquish, "you see
Feargus O'Connor has been liberated, and we ought
to have the benefit on the point of law in our favour."
" I cannot erg, that point ; but tell me, do you
imagine the change of Ministry has bettered your
prospects, or do you think that any Government
would be justified in the rescinding your sentence ?
Depend upon it you will never be permitted to quit
this island. Chartism is a hydra-headed monster ;
and were you again to land in England, you would
again perforce become the rallying point of your
party ; you would be dragged into the stormy sea of
politics; and, if not a mover, you would be made a
tool. What prudent Government would run such a
hazard ?"
" There may, Sir, be many reasons against my
pardon, but there are many reasons, and justice, for
its concession."

" If I might offer a suggestion, Mr. Frost, it would
be to the effect that you ought to turn your attention
toward the attainment of what are termed colonial
indulgences, and seek to see your wife and family
around you here."
. -

Frost- coloured at the idea, which he repudiated
strongly, declaring he would never bring his wife and
grown up daughters to such a place, in his condition.
I debated the matter calmly and patiently.
" As to your condition, ' I remarked, " the world
draws a wide distinction between state criminals and
petty larceny rogues, so that I do not see that that is
a valid objection against bringing out your family.
That you may obtain your emancipation in due course,
I have little doubt ; and, if so, what is there to pre-
vent your enjoying peace and quiet here ?"
" I have no earthly objection to live here," said
Frost. " I like the country, as far as I have seen ; it
is the finest climate in the world; I have enjoyed ex-
cellent health, and my spirits are wonderfully good,
all things considered ; still it would be a rash thing to
bring out my wife and family, without seeing a clear
way for their provision."
" Oh !" I observed, " any man of common intel-
ligence, with the use of head or hands, must do
well here." ,

" But, Sir, you are, of course, aware that I have
got into trouble ; I lost my situation as a writer in
the Commandant's office at Port Arthur."

" Providence has again all jed,the elements of that
union as the gelgraphical situation and the interests
of Scandinavia imperiously required. A mutual con-
tract has defined the limits of the: two States, which
are calculated to insure their internal tranquillity_ and
prosperity, their external independence and

Any other combination would- be foreign to their de-
sires and to their interests. To maintain what exists,
to reject with vehemence and contempt every insinua-
tion which would lead to disturbances, to cause public
order and tranquillity to be respected, to ,favour the
prosperity of his dominions by good institutions, to
keep up amicable relations with his neighbours and
allies, and, if necessary, to lend his good offices to
the cause of general peace—stieli are the ends to which
the solicitude, the ambition, :and the efforts of the
King are directed.

But it is not a little remarkable that the Cabinet of
Stockholm should have volunteered and subsequently
published so positive a declaration on a subject which
is still but a vague project. A scheme of political
change put forward in a newspaper by a party of
young enthusiasts is not often met by so serious a
denial. But this scheme, if it exist, originated not
with Sweden, but with a certain party in Denmark.
The dominions of the King of Denmark consist of
Jutland and the islands, on the
.one hand, inhabited
by the true Danish people, and on the other of the
Grand Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Sles-
wick, which partake largely of the German character,
and indeed the former province forms part of the
German Confederation. Hence has arisen a struggle
between the Teutonic and Scandinavian elements in
this little State, which the increased freedom of
discussion and political activity granted to the
people towards the close of the last reign has
rendered more intense. The Liberal, party in the
Danish estates of Jutland and the islands, which
assemble respectively at Viborg and Roeskild, are
incited by the great improvement in the political and
social condition of Norway since that kingdom was
detached from the Crown of Denmark, and annexed
to that of Sweden. The provincial estates and the
political sympathies of Holstein and Sleswick are,
on the contrary, more attracted to the Germ n
States ; and the policy of the great Commercial
Union, directed in this respect by the Cabinet of
Berlin, tends, if possible, to incorporate in the
League a province which commands the right bank of
the Elbe, possesses Altona and Kiel for its ports, and
might very. probably enable that body to
.dictate its
own terms to the Hanseatic towns, Hamburgh on the
west, and Lubeck on the east. Such are the elements
which have encouraged a certain party in Denmark to
seek to revive the union of the
ral German affinities.

were it not that the interests of the reigning House of
Denmark are moat zealously supporte d by the
power and ability of Russia. The claims of a close
propinluity of blood, and the interests of Russian
policy in the Baltic, equally conduce to attach the
Emperor Nicholas to the interests of Christian
VIII.; for part of the southern provinces of the
Danish Crown were conceded and guaranteed to it at
no remote period by that branch of the Rouse of Hol-
stein which occupies the throne of Russia, and for
obvious reasons Russia will discourage any combina-
tion in the Baltic which might give the northern king-
doms unity and strength enough to make them
formidable as maritime neighbours. The part of
Sweden in these transactions of course prescribes to
her great delicacy and forbearance, and we readily
acquit her of any intention to encourage the dismem-
berment of Denmark, although she may ultimately
be found to have promoted that result by the mere
force of the example of the judicious Government of
Norway by its present ruler.—Times.

BERLIN, AUG. 31.—The following
is the order
upon the formation of Commissions of the Provincial
States :

THE THIRD EDITION.
To be had of all Booksellers, price 4s. 6d.,
MILE WATER CURE. A New System for re-
storing injured constitutions to robust health, for the
Radical Cure of Gout and Rheumatism, Stomach, Liver, and
Nervous Complaints. Tic, Scrofula, Syphilis, and their conse-
quences, &c., &c., the result of Observations made on ;Two
Thousand Patients.

"We Frederick William, by the grace of God
King of Prussia, have resolved to choose a Commis-
sion of members of the Provincial Diet, invested with
its confidence, in order to their convocation in the in-
terval of the sessions in certain circumstances, and in
order to consult them upon the affairs of the country.
In consequence, and after having taken the advice of
our faithful States, we ordain the following:—
" 1. There shall be formed in the kingdom of
Prussia, as well as in all other provinces of the mo-
narchy, a Commission chosen from the Provincial
States, to assemble, in Consequence of an order given
by us, in order to furnish an occasion to us for con-
sulting the organs of the States, even in the interval
of the sessions.

Physician to his Serene Highness Prince Nassau.

The Author has now formed an establishment similar to that
of Priessnitz, at Great Malvern, celebrated for the purity of
its air and water, and every other adjunct for giving the Water
Cure its full effect.

" A paragraph containing some silly slur against
Lord John Russell. It was a dangerous piece of
spleen to indulge in. They were no friends of yours
who gave that letter to the world."
"It never was meant for publication. It was not
Mrs. Frost's act, but that of one of my daughters.
" Believe me it was an evil act for you. In your
situation, you cannot possibly be too circumspect. I
must wish you a good morning. I shall be writing
to Mr. R. . Can I say anything for you ?" " Say,
Sir I rejoice to hear of his welfare ; say that I am
well, well in body, as well as a man in my condition
can be ; and if Mr. R.
I shall duly esteem it. Mr. Armstrong is a kind-
hearted man, who performs his duty firmly yet feel-
ingly. lam as well as circumstances will admit."
Frost's physiognomy is prepossessing, his address
is easy, and his general bearing intelligent and win-
ning. Notwithstanding the prison garb, there is a
manifest order and neatness in his person. The only
indulgence he at present enjoys is that of being per-
mitted to sleep alone. He labours in common with
the gang. He has been six or seven weeks at Impres-
sion Bay, having been removed from Brown's river
instance
of insolence to the superintendent, the only
of his having demeaned himself with impropriety.

2. The constitutional rights of the Provincial
States, such as they were established by the third
article of the general law of the sth of June, 1823,
shall be in no wise modified by the formation of Com-
missions.

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times :"

" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" I am, your obedient servant,
" 'TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.

" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
"P. S. At the various consultations held up)n r-f case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

KNIGHTS OF THE KNOCKER OF THE:OLD SCHOOL.—
The following is copied from the Post Boy, December
14, 1747 :—" Yesterday, one Daintry, alias Wilson, a
carpenter, was whipt from the watch-house, Great Marl-
borough-street, to the Blue Posts in Polandstreet, for-
stealing knockers from gentlemen's doors. He had two
brass knockers tied round his neck,"

the views of the Diets of the different provinces

On Tuesday evening, an English lady walking on
tl:e jetty unfortunately fell over into the harbour, where,
had it not been for a boat that was passing at the
moment she would hive been certainly drowned, there
having been at lest eight feet water in the spot where
she fell. On the boat arriving, it being then dark, a
man seized her bonnet which was floatingfloatingon the water,
she herself having sunk ;
he, however,. by exertion, was
fortunate enough to seize her by the hair of the head,
when he brought her to the surface and landed her in
safety at the steps near the cannon, close to which she
had fallen. On being taken home it vvits found the
right leg was broken in two places below the knee, and
the left wrist severely sprained. We are happy to say
she is now doing well. How the accident happened she
can give no idea. She was turning round at the
moment ; whether she trod upon anything slippery, or
became suddenly gith-7, sl 0 has 111 remembrance.—
