Their condition and treatment is represented as being of the most deplorable and wretched na ture, as the follow ing extract of a letter from one of the prisoners to his brother in New Vork will show. The letter is dated ' Convict Station, Van Dieman's Land, Jan. 3, HI I." After speaking of their treatment aboard the ship on their passage out, he says: ' Upon our arrival we were put into a kind of barracks, com posed of small huts, and called a " Convict Su tion." Here we are associated with the mo.-,t vile creatures which were ever classed witli human beings the essence of Mritisli pauperism, distil led in Newgate ; uud however much disposed we may be to conduct ourselves obedicnllv to the rules under which we are placed, (not for the purpose of preserving order, but to make u.s endure suffer ing) these wretches will not allow us, ami we arc often punished for being in bad company, which was none of our choosing.,,,()ur employment is upon the roads, digging trenches, breaking stone, cutting timber, sawing blocks for pavements, anil dragging limber and stone like brutes, fur w e have no teams, mid have lo do all the carting ourselves.

Saturday afternoons we are allowed to wash and mend our shirt ; for it is but one that we have at a time. Not the smallest part of our suffering result from the want of necessary clo thing. Our food consists of gruel, brown bread and the ollals of million, not umficn tainted; and of such we get only about half enough to satisfy the requirements of nature. It is but a common Ihing lo observe a convict (as we are called,) at tempting to appease Ins hunger by devouring the young hark from trees. Such is a sketch of llrit ish Immunity, which has made real to us what we had read of the Jersey prison ship. " It is not our present suffering alone of which we have to complain, but the ine.pinlily of the treatment which has been bestowed upon those who were called olVcndcrs. The very men who cajoled me and others, and induced us lo join the expedition, when taken prisoners, were released and sent home, hcatne they had rich and injluen tial friends, w hilo we have been kept to suffer; and on our arrival here, we, who ure called Amc ricuns, were put upon the public, roads, while the Canadians were separated from us and sent to Sidney, where they have been treated as gentle men ; some being placed in tho public ollices, us clerks, und others receiving their tickets of have immediately upon their arrival.

A number of' amendments were now proposed and successively voted down, after which the opponents of the biil in timated that they were through with their amendments, and, as the senate was now full, proposed to pass the bill to its third reading, lint .Mr. Clay was not yet rea dy he wanted some more time for in trigue, bargain, ami management, and therefore at an early hour moved an ad journment, which was carried by a strict party vote. fou.se The tariff bill was debated in committee of the whole until 3 o'clock, when the cointnitttec osc without having come to any conclusion, and the house adjourned. , July 27. Senate Mr. Young said he was requested to present a ineinorial from inhabitants of Illinois, recommending the abolition of shivery not only in the states and territories, but throughout tjie world. On motion of Mr. Preston the question of reception was laid on the table. The Senate again took up the bill to charter a national bank. Mr. Morehead spoke at some length in favor of the bill, and quoted from a speech of Calhoun made in ls:i, in which that senator hail advocated a bank. Mr. C.'.lhouii replied, that whenever he had advocated a bank ho had done so without surrendering his prin ciples, but in consequence of the unfortu nate connection of bank and slate. If the senator from Ky. had read all his speech of l;il, instead of a small extract only, he would have found that ho (Mr. C.) was as much opposed to banks then as he was now. Mesrs.

The bill was now at its third read ing, and in all human probabiliiy the vote on llie engrossment, on account of differ ence of opinion on some points, would stand 2. for to 20 against it. The majo rity of the whig party believed the present foim the best, but in order to secure to the country the benefits of the measure, they had sought out a means to obviate the scruples of a few who agreed with them on the general question. The pro position was lo strike out, in the lClh sec tion all after the word "same," in the 251st line, and insert words to the elfect that the stales should have the power of assent and dissent, but the dissent must be ex pressed at l be next meeting of the Legis latures, otherwise the assent would be un derstood ; and Mr. C. then explained the nature uf this compromise, showing con clusively that it was no compromise atall. Mr. Hives said the proposition was fal lacious, and compared it to the compro mise of Lord North, which said that the people of the Colonies might tax them selves il they chose, and if they did not he would tax them himself. Mr. Calhoun protested against il as a new inroad upon the constitution.
