SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . The Brifcms may boast of their sea- ? irt Isle , The / msy call it the land of the fair and the free ; . Hay may till of its climate , its culture , and soil , And sizg in the praise of its . oldoak tree . Ihey may send forth their ships o'er the great salt tea Affecting to Bcom all the nations of earth ; But let the inquiry of true Britons be , What the freedom of Englishmen really is / worth . It ii true that this Island is fruitfnl * ndfair . That plenty abonadeth in garden and field , That Sod in his goodness hath made it his care ; And the beaniies of nature hw fully reveard ; Ihe sun shjneth bright on its mountains and plains ; Its eons they are braTe , and its daughters are fair ; Bnt alas . ' o'er its destiny tyranny reigaa , And thousands are driven to death and despair . The patriot who dares to unbosom his mind ,
Who dares to give nttsracee to troth without guise ., In this land where the Goddess of Justice is blind , Is fcnnred _ -by perjurers , villains , and spies ; And , should " he dare tall for political right , And teli to the -world how humanity grieves , He is drare'd from his bed in the dead of the night , And cranim'd in a dungeon ' mid felons and thieves . In derision he next is arraign'd at the bar , And Justice is dealt him with unsparing hand ; Be is seat from bis country and kindred afar , To pine and to die in a pestilent land-Oil , GjJ of the -world ! shall it ever be so ? It shall not . ' if mercy thine attribute be ! The time is spproathiBg -when sorrows and woe Sh&li fly from the earth , and mankind shall be free Then cosie , blessed time we have prsy'd for so long ! Great Giver of Liberty , com 6 to our aid ! For virtue is -weak , and foul rice it is strong ;
And tyranny e tortures hate made men afraid . Bat th ? y never ! co never ! can qnecch the pure flime ; It barns in our bossnu , is ftnn'd by our breath ; We will cling to the lore of fair , freedom's dear namie . And the hope to enjoy it shall cease but -with death I BZXJJlMIS SIOIT . Manchester .

Lewis , the corner for EssfX , held an inquest in the union poor-house , near Chelmsford , on the body of Richard Smith , pged fiftren , who came by his death under the following shocking circumstances . From the evidence of a watchmen employed on theEastern Connties Railway , at the wo'ks _ ne 3 r the above town , it appeared that on Monday , while stationed at a bridge adjacent to Cherry Garden-lane , a train of empty waggons , drawn by an engine , passed down the line towards Widford . Directly it had gone through the bridge , his attention was > attracted by loud screams , when , upon looking in the direction whence they proceeded , he discovered the deceased lying upon his belly outside the raila . The train had passed over him , and had almost severed his left
thigh from the body . Witness lost no time in procuring assistance , and conveying deceased to the infirmary in the union poor-house . On the road thither the deceased , who was not employed on the railway , sa : d , he had come from S ^ nrhampton to see his brother , who was in the company's service , —feeling very tired , he endeavoured to get a lift down the liDe by the train in question , and in jumping up to one of the waggons his foot slipped , and hefel ! on theraii , when the rett of the train , amounting to six or eij ; ht wagcons , passed over him . D ^ ceasj'd lingered until Thursday , when be died . Verdict "Accidental Death .

The evidecce adduced went to prove thaf , at the period of the s ! : " p , which was upwards of fif'y tons in weight , the unfortunate deceased persons , w . th many other excavators , were loading a waggon-train with earth . So sndden was the accident , that it waa impossible for them to escape , and two others were buried with them . When got out both were found to be dead .

A ( jtpsey Funeral . —For some time a numerous tribe of Gypseys have pitched their tents in Cut Hedge-roaa , Little Cogtreshali . One of the party died last week . As soon as life was extinct mueh ceremony was observed . The b dy was dressed in a Scotch plaid gown , silk stockings , and satin shoes ; wax tapers were burnt , and tbe remains lay in state . Instructions for the luneral were given to Mr . Clements , the undertaker , and no expence was spared to render it most respectable in all its departments . The eofiiu was of fine oak , studded with gilt nail ? , and bore a brass plate , upon which was engraved " Cecilia Chilcott—Died Stpt . 29 , 1842 , aged 28 years . " On Sunday last the funeral took place , and her remains were interred in the parish churchyard , by the Rev .
W . Wigson , curate , in * he presence of a concourse of between 4 , 000 and 5 , 000 persons . The pall was supported by four respectably dressed females deeply veiled , and ab ^ ut thirty of the tribe followed , all dressed in black , the men wearing black cloth cloaks . The greatest decorum was observed by the whole of the party , and a more respectable funeral , we understand , has not been seen in the town for many years . We are credibly informed , that in the ctfiia were placed by the side of the body the deceased ' s watch and a purse of money , for the protection ot which a person is appointed to watch the grave for some weeks .

The Pitmen and the" Coal-Tax . —At the binding of tbe pitmen this year , which was afttr the proposition of the Government waa known , to impose a duty on coals exported to foreign countries , the owners of collieries in which over sea-coals were worked , fearing that the demand for these coals would be raised if the proposition were carried into effect , would not bind the men without having a clause inserted in the agreements r ? scrying to themselves the power to cease working iheir pits whenever it should happen that there was no demand for coals exported . After the duty came into operation the demand for coals partially ceased , and the men .
not satisSed wha the quantity of work the trade then afforded them , demanded of the owners wages for the daya they ware laid idle . One of these bonds has been laid before the Attorney-General , and the following is his opinion upon it : — " I am of opinion ihai , under the clause referred to , the men are not entitled to their wages on a temporary cessation of demand , and that it is not necessary that there should be a total cessation of demand in order to prevent tbe workman from recovering wages for the time they are not at work . I think the magistrates have no jurisdiction in such a case ; the remedy , if any , is by action . "—Newcastle Journal .
Bee Stealing . —For the last fortnight , several of the Tillages around Andover hafe been visited at night by an unprincipled gang of marauders , who contrive to rob the " apiaries' of the poor cottagers in that neighbourhood . They select tbe darkest nights for their furtive purposes , and have succeeded in taking sway with them the hires and the stores they contain . When they have arrived at a convenient distance from the spot on which they have committed their depredations , they enter some field on the road f > ide , in which , under a hedge , they
dig as many holes as they have hires , and bj introducing ignited brimstone into the same , cover them with ihe hires , bottom downwards , by which means the bees are effectually destroyed , whilst they possess themselves of the richly-stored combs , with which they make the best of their way out of the neighbourhood , leaving the hives behind them . The cottage poor belonging to the villages in the abore district depend chiefly upon the produce of their bees for the enjoyment of their private domestic comforts , and the wretches must be callous , indeed , who would xpb the dependant poor of their all .

It is with great pain that we have to apprise the Chartist pablio that the body of Mr . Wm . Russell , late of Nottingham , was found in the river Tyne , twelve miles above Newcastle , on Wednesday week , supposed to have lain in the river since the 26 ih ult ., the day on which he left his lodgisgs in Newcastle . There were no marks of violenoe on the body , and it is supposed that he fell into the water accidentally in attemptiug to ford the river . His wife , who came
here in quest of him , arrived in town the very day on which the body was discovered , and she is now in a strange place , with three infant children , in a state of the utmost destitution . Our reason for stating this , is in hopes that some good Chartists will sympathise with her concition , and contribute a triflo , however small , towards her relief ; and as she will remain in Newcastlo for a short time , any sum transmitted to Mr . Ja / r . es Sinclair , No . 3 , PipewtU Gate , Gatcshead , will be thankfully received , and acknowledged through the Star .

State of Trade in Paisley . —The finer descriptions of goods connected with tho Paisley trade continue as dull as ever , but great numbers of the workmen are turning their hands to lighter and plain work , so far as it can be oUained , and , we are sorry to state , weavers aro so abundant that webs of this description can only be occasionally obtained as a personal favour . From tho limited supply at the command of tho Relief Committee , and the equally limited and inadequate , allowance given out by them to those in want , privation and sufferings kavo at
present to be borne by huudrods and hundreds of industrious families , which it is most appalling to think ot , and which it ib a shame to the country should be permitted in it . We may state . ' that to be deprived of food for one and two days at a timo is quite a common occurrence ; and then , at the termination of that penoii , tin ; pawning of the last shirt from the back , tlie last ra ^ of blankets from tiie bed , or some other equally necessary artie ! ej ia the means usually resorted to for satisfying the irresistible call of hunger . —Glasgow Chronicle .

I have been & « ippa < l of my money , pen-k'iife , -watchand every thieg useful to me ; nay more , evsn a hook in my possession was taken from * ne , and su ' .-jeeced U < tae judgment of the chaplain of this prison bbforo I could be allowed its uas ; aye , to that ; man -who , in order to edify his hearers this inorniiiu , forgot that he was a minister of the meek and humbl » Saviour , and dwindled into the furious . political partiam ; even th » newspapers that my wife endeavoured out of uur scanty means to send me are detained . Such , Sir , is tli <> treatment that the democrat is subjected to . I can assure you that thia patty annoyance of the Tory Government aad its minions , shall aov break my spirit .
or drive me from my course in waging war against injustice and despotism ; but , Sir , I npply to you as a public servant , to infotm nui bow it is that such condHot can be permiUtd on the prirt of G-jveranient officials . I can assure you that such conduct , insterut of deterring me from , shall be a greater inducement t-. > me to persevere iu my stern opposition to oppression ot every kind , and never to eeaae in ray endeavours until even-handed justice > baii be meted out to ail men , and the name ef faction forgot , and the . supremacy of th « people;—the whole people—and neither more not l ^ sa than the whole people—acknowledged . 1 cm .

JOHNCAMPBB . LL . Right Hon . Sir JijiriDs Graham , Secretary for the Home Department . Saturday Nuht . Dear Sir , —I am again compelled to forward you unwelcome news . I got Sdwell ana Butemsn to attenri yesterday mornin ? at Bow-street ; we were ktyt dallying aboat there all day , aa wns also Mr . Shaw , and at lenethhadan interview with Mr . Hall , who informed us he was quite ignorant of the snhject , and bad not received any notice from the Judges upon the su' jeot of yomr bail .
To- 'Jay I received yonr letter containing a copy of your committal . I immediately went to Lumbesh , and got Messrs . Seweli aud Bituman arain to accompany me to Bw-street ; but they then informed us that tho document you had forwarded me was no authority for tham to act upon ; that no order had botn revived fxcm Liverpool . Mr . Hall was not present , it not being bis day . Barnaby , the chief clerk , a ) ao informed as that it an order arrived they could act npon it ; that the prisoner must be present in the same court as his bail , and be included in ihe sanio bail-bond ; and tbat It wonld be necessary to send the bail to you .
We know not how to act in this dilemma . Ton most make immediate enquiry on the fcufject . See if tbe Governor , or some official person , cannot tell you what course to pursue . Could yon not procure four in £ 25 where you are , ' or at Manchester ? If not , -write tome Immediattly , and I will eBdeavour to raise or borrow money to carry the bail to you diiectly upon the receipt of y our letter . Yours faithf ally , THO 1 US M . Wheelek .

A crowded meeting of the Metropolitan Localities Chartist delegates , 42 id Caartist mem ears , was held on Monday afternoon at tbe National Charter Association Hall , Old Saik-y , for general purposes connected with the advancement of the People ' * Charrer . Mr . Luke King Mas called to the chair . ~ Mr E . Mantz , ftoaj th ^ SHk Weavers , Bathnal Green locality , and Mr . Toulon , of the Lambeth locality , sitting at the Britannia Coffee Hbaee , Waterioo road , respectively banutd ia their credentials , and wer « confirmed by the Delegates' Meeting as delegates for thosa districts . Mr . Edward Wright was in duo form received and confirmed as a deiegate for the WiDRton locality .
Mr . Simpson roa ' e upon a point of order , and after sorua preliminary obiurvationa , moved to the effect , " Tbat tho ruie on the delegates' bouko ba enforced , — naniwly , ' That a ' . i -itk ^ tes absentinc flieinselyes from their official duty in tl . Ai room , for three Siindays In succession , unless by i ' . iiieaa , or for a : > me good ami sufficient reason , shall be looked upon as having fared to perform the trust caiumitted t « them , and m no 1 icget delegates ; aud that tlia localities be called upon to appoint delegates in their stead . '" Mr . Wriaht aecondtid the resolution , -which lwl to a long diieussiou , in vrjiiich Messrs . Msynard , Cuffay , Wiltica , Jonss , ¦ Pago , Mathaws , < tc ., took part ; the respective d < . ; rcate « strccgly ceitanrlng , aa most calpahle , those persons who , having accepted of tbe important cffi- ; e of delegates , have failed in the proper discharge of its duties . Those 8 eEtimei : ts were echoed by the meeting ; and ' the opinion that men BhonW not aocept such an office unites prepared to acquit thera-Belves of its responsibility in every sense , was received with loud crie 8 of " Hear , hear . "
Mr . Toulon , of the Lambeth locality , tese , to ataw that he had been instructed by hia locality to brim ; the case of Mr Stall wood , late Chartist lecturer in that district , iv . 'ier consideration of the tieii-gattis in meeting assembled . Tbe eU-leaates , as he ( Mr . Toulon ) was instructed , had repudinted Mr . Stallwood as a lecturer on Bomeyravt ) cbarg-3 . and appoi . 'ifc-d a 'lepntation to communicate their decision to his locality . The locality since then had received a letter from Mr . Stall wood , which he ( Mr . Toulon ) ,-would , with the poimission of the chairman , Tead to the mteting . Ic waB an explanation put 5 n by Mr . Stallwood in reply to . the v . hargo brought against , him ; and as such was received and regarded as satisfactory by his locality in meeting assembled , -who , so far as they were concerned , had every reason to be satisBed with him as a lec'nreR He ( Mr . Touloii ) knew nothing himself of the merits of the case but would , ia conformity ta hia instructions , lay Mr . Stallwood ' s letter bi-fore the meeting .
Several delegates objected to the Iftter being read ; and on an explanation from Messrs . Dron and Mathaws * the deputation appointed by the oelegates' m&eting to communicate the delegates' charge and decision against Mr . fStrllwood , to his locality—namely , that tha charge and deeiR'on v . ' -irs to be ensiriered in Council , and not in public - mueUne of tha locality , and the Council ' s decision . to bo ni . vie known to the delegates , the question wns ordt-. ri'ti to bt dropped , the Council in qufsciim not having coraplit'J wita the engagonienli entered into with the aeputat- ' un . Tb ^ mntt ' -r has buen i-etVrreJ back to the Council of , the Lambeth locality . The minutes of tbe former nw-. ting were rer . 'l by Mr . Wheeler , the delegates' Secretai-y , and duly confirmed .
A long discusaJon arose on the pubjoct of the colleetion-h < - > oirs propof < d by the Committee of " The Victim Fund ' for adoption by the localities , tho objaet being to prevent , by the use of such books , any imposition being practised on the publio by fraudulent oollectora , not of the Chartist body . Those books were signed by the Committee , anrijjoaled with the ' ^ legates' seal ; but the condition of 10 s . sfourity being entered iHtO'for each book , was not approved of by some of tbe localities , who preferred retaining their own books , and going on in the collection after their ewn way . The proposed Esaurity ( which woalti be merely a nomina' one ) waa intended , it ' may be remarked , as a guarante in tbe avcjit of bouks being made away with -by defaulting eolleitors , should any prove so unworthy in
such a caiue . The result of the discussion , in which Messrs : Muthsws , Dron , Maynard , WilJelns , Mudge , Jamva'Cooke , ( delegate from Maryleboce , in plnce of Mr . Abel Cooke , resigned , ) Cuffay , Simpson , Toulon , Davoc , Luugwith , Joned , Squires , B . ; xtor , ( ooilwtor , ) Pickersgill , B " ' , i < lle ,, Pago , tie .

Langwith , and conflritibil by tho meeting : —" Tuat the localities be at liberty to retain their own boofcs , or to Uke ihose of the Victim Committee at a valuation ; but that for the sake of uniformity ( and n . a a guarantee ag-anst fraud ) , all books bo seat to tbe Victim Commit too , tbat they may ba stamped with the delegate ' s official seal . " The localities , by this arrangement , are at liberty to fix their owe ssCUrities with their collectors .
On the motion of Mr . Cuffay , all monies received ai the Delegates' Meeiingi were ordered to be paid In to the Evening Star , and published in that j 0 urn . 1 L An announcement was made that Mr . Wheeler bad been instructed to prepare parchment credentials , aa documentary authority , duly signed and sealed , for th 9 Chaitifit lecturers , ninny ' of whom are already on the wing to lacturo in tbeir appointed diatriotB .

Murder And Kobbekt In Dukdee.—Edinburgh , Saturday, Oct. 15—We Learned Last Night (Friciay;
Murder and Kobbekt in Dukdee . —Edinburgh , Saturday , Oct . 15—We learned last night ( Friciay ;
tne ioilowing particulars relating to a case 01 murder perpetrated in Dundee on Thursday night , which for cold-blooded a'rocity has had few paraliels in this parts of th ; country . On Thusday morniug two men , who gave their names as M'Kenzio anci Duff , and who appeared to be substantial north-country grsziers , on their way home from the Falkirk Tryst , culled at Mr . Croali ' s coach-office , Prince ' s-stieet here , and enquired into var ous particulars regarding the starting of the Dundee coach , which leaves here at ten o'clock . As they had business to transa c ; in one of tha banks , which dots not optn till len o ' clock , they requested that the coach might be delayed a few minutes , whieh was promised . About
five minutes after ten , Duff , who was a short , stout man , returned by himself , and asked whether the coach could not be delayed a liule longer till hie friend , M'Kenz ' e , finished their mutual business at the bank . This could not ba acceded to , and che coach set off without either of them , M'Kenzie , who is taller than his companion , and remarkable from one or two prujeciicg front teeth , joined his friend at tbe coach office soon after ; the poach had gone , and both took an omnibus and joiaed the steamer just as she was about to leave Newbaven . It would appear that jrE ^ nzie had reoeived Duff ' s coney at the baik , and had it in his possession . There were two steamers starting across the water at the same time , and it is remarkable that M'Kenzie took the wrong one : but as they both reached
r 6 ttycur at the same time , the mistake was of no moment , further than that it gave rise to much excitement on the part of Duff , who expressed great anxiety lest he should lose sight of his friend ana his money . Both parties then took their seats on the outside of the Dundee coach , Dear the guard , and proceeded in this way to Cupar Fife , without having much intercourse wiih each other , M'Kenzie employing himself during the greater part of the way iu a low chant or muttering , of which , however , noiliing could bt sade . At Cupar a cbange of position took place . Both parties cume down from the coach , and on remounticg , M'Keuzie took , his seat near the driver , while Duff kept his old place beside the guard , and continued so to Newport . On crossing the Tay ferry M'Kenzic ' s manner was observed to
be somewhat agitated , so much so , that a person who knew him remarked to another , that that was Mr . M'Keczie , an extensive cattle-dealer , but that he seemed to have got a slap over the fingers , thus referring the strangeness of his manner to some supposed loss he bad sustained . The coach arrived at Dundee about four o ' clock in the afternooD , and our information regarding them from that time is not so precise . What is certain is , that in the evening two men , answering in all respects to these persons , and of whose idee ti : y with them our informant had no doubt , were walking out of Dnndee ; and when beyond the Law , on the northern extremity of the town , and close totheKtytyle railway , the short man was shotfrom bebindwuh a pistol , and , itissupposed , left for dead on the road . The poor man , however
recovered a little , and was able , we have been told , to crawl to some house in the neighbourhood , orotherwise obtained assistance , and had sufficient sirengtk loft to teli the whole story , and to fix upon his companion as his murderer , charging him at . the same time with having £ 1 , 000 of hia property in his possession . Information was immediately sent to theDundes police-office , and a search being set on foot , the other was apprehended at eiphfc o ' clock yesterday ( Friday ) morning in one of the carriages in the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath Kailway . The murdered man died at five o'clock yesterday morning . The rumour in Dundee when oht informant left was to the effect , thai the two parties had dined together in Dundee , and that Duff asked his companion for his property : that he evaded the request
under the pretence that that waa not a proper piaoe for settling their aecounts , bnt proposed that they should both proceed to a friend of his a few miles out in the oountry , where they woujd get a bed for the night , and might settle their affairs quietly . To this in an evQ hour the unhappy man consented . It 13 said tbat the tall man bought a pistol from a young man in t > respectable ironmonger ' s shop in Dundee . It is remarkable that Thursday was the fast-day in that town , so that he would have some difficulty in findiug a shop open . It is also E&id that when he was apprehended a large sum of money was found upon him . This herrid case has excited , as well it might , a great sensation in Dnndee , both from the respectable sphere in which both parties had previously been moving , and from the deliberate villany with which the murder must have been perpetrated .
