Accounts of Thursday's proceedings at Newport are given in the

morning papers. More evidence of attempts to induce soldiers to de- sert has been furnished. Henry Frost, son cf John.—who is repre- sented as an interesting lad—was discharged ; the evidence being insufficient, as the Magistrate humanely said, to induce him to commit a mere child on a charge of high treason. It was proved, however, that Henry Frost had been out during the whole of the Sunday night ; and it is probable that he acted under his father's directions in carrying messages from Newport to the Chartist camp on the hills. He was also treasurer of the Youth's Democratic Association in Newport.

The Chartists continue to hold large meetings in the neighbourhood of Merthyr and Nant-y-glo ; but no further outbreaks have occurred.
