A FEARFUL PICTURE We recently gave an outline of a lecture deliver 4 in Londen by a Mr, M'Carthy, on the horrors of treas. poi onion. The last steamer brought us another lec, ture on the same subject and by the scree Individual, In it he anodes to Macquarie Harbor as a penal set, tlement. end gives a most fearful pictureof its horrors, Abontthree quarters of a mile out in the sea, "there is a rack, which was used as a place of punishment for the refractory to be sent to at eight. Sleeping on, • thisidand was very severe; there was a strong surge always running; they could not laud without being wet tothe neck, and forced to sleep in wet clothes an eight, or lie naked in a wet cabin.' Every man of these had chains (M, and nine , tentits loaded with hoary hots.. Fires were not allowed after eight at night; the prisoners did not amve until half past 6 o'clock they were locked up all night; any of them who tools cramp in the bowels, or convulsion, generally died' in the night. A great number of these horrid men coat, mitted murder in order to be hanged; ihdeed, the thing was quite common. They used to gamble for life; they would conclude to hill some person, to be hang. ed; generally a bit of flat stone was picked up--one of them spat on one side and tossed it up, the other cried 'Wet,' cr and, if he won, whoever he named was a dacmed man. They would split hie skull with a spade! or. two of them would strangle him with a chain! If they were detected, that was what they wanted. The military and overseers knew that if any of these men were seen to laugh, that he premeditated suicide or murder. The phenomenon, of a convict laughing was out of the question, except that demoniac smile of green and deep-sunk bitter, ness of spirit, only known to a transported man," In the year 1816, there were 118 capital convic, lions in the criminal courts ofle , all for violence; and in the same year there we convictions for petty aerates, 22,000. The Rev Mr bl'Encore attended 74 executions in one year. There is a small rock 7 - miles ' from Norfolk Wend, called Phillip's Island.--this is the only ()Nem ever seen from this place. The num, her of men now there is about 1,600. There is no women, liquor, tobacco, or money in the island. Met; do all washing, cooking, mending, &c. About 1,200 'of them are in double irons, being a fetter from one ankle to the other, tour feet long, and a long chain from one ankle to the waist, and down to the other ankle; grey and yellow jackets, grey cans, strong shoes, &c. They do all manner of work; dig, cat timber, mining, stone cutting, building, read making, and excavating. The,y have not the least appearance of men; their clothes are slovenly paten; tawny, stage nant features, sluggish eye, a drowsy Olt like move. meat of the limbs and sho.ilders, and a dovrawsmi heed, plainly Indicating indifference to all things but self. All these mark the approach of the convict who has felt and trod the blood-stained soil of Norfolk Island. They are locked up in lung ranges of buildings as sleeps log rooms; the berths are narrow, so much so that a man cannot turn in t h e night. They are always, night and day, under a military guard—sizty rounds greaten bull cartouch—primed and loaded; besides .be souled overseer. They wash at five in this warning; breakfast at the same time—damper and gruel; dinner —salt pork, unfit for use; twentyyears' old beef; cake of maize, soups, &c. There are orders to be clean al. ways, but this is impossible. The military are not allowed to speak to them. Up to 1437 there alma* great amount of murder, for the purpose of going to Sydney to prosecute, end. getting a rest from their ha rassing toil; but now they are tried by corramissioe on . the Island, and hanged on the spot." The convicts have but one object—an intense thirst for liberty. This they attempt to gain b y any Mean'', their faces are like demons; perjury an dmurder are virtues in this dark spot. If one of them was found - praying, they were sure to murder him, or entrap him. Sometimes such men are put to siatsp alone, fearing their assassination. Thirty one convicts were left to be hanged at ens time; they remained ii; months in this dreadful suspense. At length carte the clergyman, who found thern.all naked, in a cell so small that it was almost like the blaakhole in Cal. eutta. He brought a reprieve for eighteen, leaving thirteen to their fate; but the reprieved cried for being sent back to the chain, preferring death; %idle the doomed ones thanked Heaven Ind kissed the shoes of the good man who showed them the light of heavenly peace. They were full two days hanging and ',drying them The doctor preached from their fresh graves to their companions; beneath fifteen graves lay hands of blood—that is murderers! The commanding gov ernor's castle stands on a green spot, mounted with cannon; the pacing sentry strides his plodding rounds; nothing but cells, whips, triangles, soldiers, guns, can nons, and the gallows, meet the eye at every turn.— pjoes abroad with a guard; fcar, At this arose, which stopped the lecturer. A women - emu_ out. "Jameo! James!" and fainted by the stairs; while a poor widow fell into hysterics, who had a son and daughter transported. The lecturer said,he felt keen. ly the feelings of all the bereaved, but must continue to warn the world of tl e sacred portals of the law, and recommended religion, sobriety, morality, charity, and good hours to all. Letters, he said, were ready, ed from convicts; if any person heard good news from. a convict's letter, it was all a lie; if the letter is not smuggled it is opened at our office, earl read by e clerk, whose duty it is. if it contain anything describ ing the suffering, to burn it.

Pearce, Greenhill, Mathers, Travers, Dalton, Bodenham, Brown, and Cornelius; after trim. elling twelve days they all stopped with hunger and weakness; canniba,ism stared them in the facet Green. pall said that Dalton off -red to he a flogger, and they would eat him first. "As I lay on my back," says Pearce, "1 heard a blow; it was Greenhill, who dash, ed Dalton's brains out with an axe; his brains were scattered over_ my face, like warm water. Madwrs cut his throat with a knife and bled him like a sheep; he was cut up, alveat his heart and liver half roast, ed." Brown and Cornelius ran away hack to the eta, lion, and died peat day from fatigue, After traveling six days, being purged and sick, Bodenham lay asleep, Greenhill struck hini, and split his skull; he was W e d, and we cut him up and put him in out bags.
