    SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . The Briions may boast of their gea-rfrt Isle , They may call it the land or the fair and the free ; . jhey may tdl of its climate , its culture , and soil , And sisg in the praise of its old oak tree . Ibey may send forth their ships o ' er the great salt tea Affecting to scorn all the nations of earth ; But let the inquiry of true Briton * be , What the freedom of Englishmen realty is ¦ worth . It U tree that this Island is fruitful « l 4 f 1 ^' That plenty abonfldeth in garden and field , That Sod in his goodnea hath made it hi » care ; And the beauties of nature has fully reve&l'd ; Ihe sun rfrineth bright on its mountains and plains ; Its eons they are braTe , and its daughters are fair ; But alas ! o'er its destiny tyranny reigns , And thousands are driven to death and despair . The Datriot who dares to unbosom his mind ,

    Who dares to give utfcsracee to truth without guise , In thta land where the Goddess of Justice is blind , Is honted . -by perjurers , villains , aad spies ; And , should he dare call for political right , And tell to the world how humanity grieves , He is drare'd from his bed in the dead of the night , And cramm'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 ; He is sent from his country and kindred afar , To pine and to die in a pestilent land . Oh , CM of the world ! shall it ever be so ? It shall not I if mercy thine attribute be I The time is spproathing -when sorrows and woe Shall fiy from the earth , and mankind shall be free Then cose , Messed time we bare pray'd for so long . ' Great Giver of Liberty , come to our aid ! For virtue is -weak , and fonl vice it is strong ; And tyranny ' s tortnres hate made men afraid .

    Bat th ? y never . ' co never ! can quecch the pure flame ; It burns in our bossma , is finn'd by our breath ; VTe "will cling to the loTe of fair freedom ' s dear naBe , And the hope to enjoy it shall oeass but "with death I Besjamis Sioii . Manchester .

Donald justifies j hi ; conduct on tee ground that no person is entitled to be pkced on the list who is not a bonsfide rate ; p&jer ' j bnt in this opinion the Mayor and Assessors did not coincide ; so that they established nearly ail ' tie claims as good , and which were accordingly ; placed upon tie register . j

Lewis , the corner for Ess ^ x , 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 theE&stern Counties Railway , at the works jiear 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 ww 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 Southampton 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 wageonshis foo : slipped , and hefell on theraii , when the rett of the train , amounting to six or eij ; ht wagcoiis , pas ? ed over him .

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

    A Utpset Funeral . —For some time a numerous tribe of Gypseys have pitched their tents in Cut Hedge-road , Little Cogtre = hali . One of the party died last week . As soon as life was extinct mueh ceremony was observed . The body was dressed in a Scotch plaid gown . = ilk stockings , and satin shoes ; wax tapers were burnt , and the 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 coffin was of fine oak , studded with gilt nail ? , and bore abnu-s 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 respeccable funeral , we understand , has not been seen in the town for many years . We are credibly informed , that in the ctfiin were placr-d 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 o > " the pitmen this year , which was after the proposition of the Government was 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 t ? serving to themselves the power to cease working their 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 Eatiined whs the quantity of work the trade then afforded them , demanded of the owners wages for the days they ware laid idle . One of these bonds has been laid before the Attorney-General , and the following is sis opinion upon it : — " I am of opinion ihat , 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 the workman from rpcovering 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 villages aronnd Andover ha ^ e 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 the darkest nights for their furtive purposes , and have succeeded in taking away with them the hives 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 Mde , in which , nnder a ledge , they

    dig as many holes as they have hires , and by intro ducing ignited brimstone into the same , cover them with the 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 above district depend chiefly upon the produce of their bees for the enjoyment of their private domestic comforts , and the wretches must be csllons , indeed , who would rob the depe&dant poor of their all .

Tno committee haviDg made their report , to the effect that some immediate plan phould be adopted , so as to prevent the smuggling of French and foreign silks through the Custom-house , added that a notice had appeared in the public journals , which had the appearance of being official , intimating that it was the intention of Government to prosecute tha inquiries into the fraudulent transactions at the Custom-house , under the authority of a special commission . Thty

    wished for advice . A lengthened discussion ensued , in the course of which it was stated that very important infermation had been obtained of the practices at the Custom-house , when it was resolved for the present not to call any meeting of the trade , but to wait to ascertain the resale of any investigation instituted by he Government . It was also resolved that the committee should continue to aet , and , if n ^ ce ssary , call a meeting of * he trade . They were also to make inquiries as to the extent of the frauds in the importation of French silks , and the mode adopted by which foreign silk goods were brought into the home market . Thunks were then voted to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up .

    Murder and Kobbekt in Dukdee . —Edinburgh , Saturday , Oct . 15—We learn-dlast night ( Friday ,: the following particulars relating to a case of murder perpetrated in Dundee on Tnursday night , which for cold-blooded atrocity has had few parallels in this parts of th ; country . On Thusday morniug two men , who gave their names as M'Kenzie and Duff , and who appeared to be substantial north-country grsziers , on their way home from the FaJkirk Tryst , culled at Mr . Croali ' s coach- office , Prince ' s-s-tieet 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 do&s not optn till ten 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 coald not be delayed a liUle longer till his friend , M'Kenz ' e , finished their mutual business at the bank . This could not be 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 prujeciing front teeth , joined his friend at the coach office soon after ; the poach had gone , and both took an omnibus and joined the steamer just as she was about to ieavo Newbaven . It would appear that M K > : nzie bad reoeived Duff ' s money at the batk , 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

    P 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 with each other , M'Keaziv etaploying himself during the greater part of the way iu a low chant or muttering , of which , however , noiliing could b ^ sa de . At Cupar a change of position took place . Both parties came down from the coach , and on remounting , 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'Ke . nzic ' 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 be seemed to have got a slap over the fingers , thus referring the strangeness of his manner to Borne supposed loss he had sustained . The coach arrived at Dundee about four o'clocK in the afternoon , 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 identity 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 totheNtytyle xailway . the short man was shot from behind with 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 tosomehousein the neighbourhood , orotherwise obtained assistance , and had sufficient sirengtk loft to tell the whole story , and to fix upon his companion as his murderer , charging him at the same time with having £ 1 , 000 of his property in his possession . Information was immediately sent to the Dundee police-office , and a search being set on foot , the other was apprehended at ei ^ ht o ' clock yesterday ( Friday ) morning in one of the carriages in the first train of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway . The murdered man died at five o'clock yesterday morning . The rumour in Dundee when car informant left was to the effect , that the two parties had dined together in Dnndee , and that Duff asked his companion for his property ; that he evaded the request

    under the pretence that that was 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 country , where they would get a bed for the night , and might settle their affairs quietly . To this in an evQ hoar the unhappy man consented . It is said that the tall man bought a pistol from a young man in a respectable ironmonger ' s shop in Dundee . It ib remarkable that Thursday was the fast-day in that town , so that be would have some difficulty in finding a shop open . It is also said that when he was apprehended a large sum ot money was foutd upon him . This herrid case has excited , as well it might , a great sensation in Dundee , both from the respectable sphere in which both parties had previousl y been moving , and from the deliberate rillany with which the murder must have been perpetrated .

    Intoxication .- Ou Thursday last an iron-lifter et Dundjvau , of the name of John Black , undertook , for a tTifling -VJagtr , tr > swallow a mutchkiu of whisky without taking it from his head . A previous allowance had quickened hks appetite for the undertaking , and , all tilings being ready , John swallowed the mortal dose , and ono glass more ! when he hied his way home fromi Cuatbriugo to Dundyvanin a state of utter 8 tnpef ' acaii (> ii ; and , though one of the most hardy and powerful m > n at the work , the-poisonous potation wrought so rapidly on his constitution that in less than four hours from swallowing the draught he was found a lifek-ss corpse , leaving & hapless wifand numerous family to lament his intemperate and murderous folly . — Glasgow Chronicle .

    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 oi . Sained , and , we are sorry to state , weavers aro so abundant that webs of this description can only be occasionally obtained as a personal favour . Fro m tlw 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 sufferinei ? kavo at

    present to be borne by hundreds and hundreds of industrious families , which it is most appalling to think of , and which it is a shame to the country should be permitted in it . We may state , that to be deprived of food for o ; ie and two days at a time is quite a common occurrence ; and then , at the termination of that period , thi ; pawning of the last shirt { torn the back , the last ra # of blankets from tiie bed , or some other equally necessary article ! ia the means usually resorted to for satisfying the irresistible call of huuger . —Glasgow Chronicle .

    The Tariff Beuf and Pork . —Since our last publication , considerable excitement has been produced in tho city by importations of Halted beef and pork , which have b- ^ en retailed in various places at 4 d . per pound . Messrs . Weailake and Co ., Forestreet hill , were the first to announce that they had a supply of ' * American pork and Hamburg beef , at 4 d . a lb . ; '' and on Siturd ^ y , particularly , in the evening , after the arc : rans had received their wages , the shop' was crowded with customers , to whom several hundreds ov pounds weight of the imported meat were sold . We have seen somo of the beet and pork—both were v ry good , and . some of the iaitsr was exceedingly fii ; e . Tha beef is now selling at 3 ^ -i . per lb — Exeter Western Tunes .

    Unappreciated Genius . —The Marquis of Londonderry is an ili-iist-d nuthor . His Ijst performance , a ^ our readers aie aware , was rs-jveted , the other day , by the Conservative Cotnmittoe of tho Suuderknd Library . Slighted , thereioro , on- ' the Wear , it proceeded iu a huff to the Tees , and knocked at the door of the public Library in Stookton .

    MEETING OF METROPOLITAN CHARTIST DELEGATES . A crowded meeting of " the Metropolitan Localities Chartist delegates , « 2 id Caartist mem ears , was held on Monday afternoon at the National Chatter Association Hall , Old 3 aiiey , for general purposes connected with the advancement of the People ' s Charter . Mr . Luke King was called to the chair . Mr E . Mantz , from th ? Silk Weavers . Bathnal Greea locality , and Mr . Tonlon . of the Lambfeth locality , sitting at the Britannia Coffee Hbnse , 'Waterloo road , respectively banutd ia their credentials , and wtr « confirmed by tbe Delegates' Meeting as delegates for those districts . Mr . Edward Wright was in duo form received and confirmed as a delegate for the Islington locality .

    Mr . Simpson rose upon a point of order , and after florae preliminary -observations , moved to the effect , " That tho ruie on the delegates' bouka ba euforced , — namely , ' That a ' . i ¦ itkpateB abaentinc rlie ' mselves from their official duty in t ; : ai room , for three Sundays in succession , unless by i' . iiieBu , or for some good ami sufficient reason , shall be looked upon as havJrtg fared to perform the trust curamuted t « them , and ( w no 1 inget delegates ; and tl . at the localities be called upon to appoint delegates in their stead . '" Mr . Wright seconded the resolution , whioh It-A to a long diieussiou , in which Messrs . Maynard , CufFay , WUtiua , ' Jonfcs , P « go , Mathsws , to , took part ; tho respective dUraatts strongly ceMnrinff , as most cnl « pahle , tho ^ e persons who , having accepted of the Important cffi ; e of delegates , have failed in the proper discharge of its duties . Those seBtiments were echoed by tbe meeting ; and ' the opinion that men Bhonifl not aocept such an office unless prepared to acquit themselves ot its responsibility in every sense , was received with loud cries of " Hear , hear . "

    Mr . Toulon , of the L- \ rubath locality , tese , to atafa that be . had been instructed by his locality to bring-the case of Mr Stall wood , late "Chartist lecturer in that district , iv . 'ier consideration of tho tieiigattis in meeting assembled . The d ^ le ^ ates , as he ( Mr . Toulon ) w . is Instruo ' ecl , had repudiiiteri Mr . StaViwood as a lecturer on some , r { ravtj charge , and appoint-d a deputation to commnnicate their decision to his locality . The locality since then had received a letter from Mr . Stall ' wood , which he ( Mr . Toulon ) ,-would , with the pormissioa of the chairman , read to the meeting . Ic was an explanation put in by Mr . Stallwoocl ia reply to the charge brought against him ; and as such was received and regarded as satisfactory by his locality In meeting assf . mbled , who , so far as they were concerned , had every reason to be satisfied with him as a lectnies . He ( Mr . Touloii ) knew nothing binis ? lf of the merits of the case but would , ia conformity to hta instructiona , lay Mr . Stallwood ' s letter b < -f « re the meeting .

    Several delegates objected tothalftter being read ; and on an explanation from Messrs . Dron and Mathews , the deputation appointed by the oelegates' m&eting to communicate the delegates' charge and decision against Mr . Strllwood , to his locality—namely , tLat th « charge and deeis'on w- ^ rfl to be c ^ nsiriered in Council , and not in public-muetine of tha locality , and tho Council's decision-to bo ni . vie known to the delegates , tho qnestion wns or < ie . r ; - ( i to bt druppet ! , the Council in quc-scion not having coraplitd -witn the engagonienli enterp ^ l into with the deputation . Tb " . mnU ' -r has buen i-bivrred b ^ uk . to the Council of the Lambeth locality . The minutes of tbe former meeting were rer . 'l by Mr . Wheeler , the delegates' Secretary , and duly confirmed .

    A long discussion arose on the pubj-ict of the collectioa . hooks propof « d by the Committee of " The Victim Fund ' for adoption by the localities , the objaet being to prevent , by the usa of such books , any imposition being practised on the pubiio by fraudulent collectors , not of the Chartist body . Those books were signed by the Committee , and / sealed with the ' ^ legates' seal ; but th « condition of 10 s . sfourity being entered leto'for each book , was not approved of by seme of tb © localities , who prcJcrred retaining their own books , and going on in the collection after their « wn way . The proposed Esuurity ( which would be merely a nominal one ) was intended , it may he remarked , as a guar&ute « in the avcJit of bouka being made away with -by do * faulting collectors , should any prove go unworthy in

    such a cante . The result of the discussion , in which Messrs : ; M : > . thews , Dron , Maynard , Will ; his , Mudge , James Cooke , ( delegate from Marylebone , in plnco of Mr . Abel Cuoke , resigned , ) Cuffay , Simpson , Timlon , Davoc , Luugwith , Jonbd , Squires , B . ixtt > r , ( ouilwto * , ) Pickersgill , B " 'n < ile ,, Pa . ? o , fcc . ic , took part , was a rKSolution moved by . Mr . Langwith , and conftrmbd by tan meeting : — " Tost the localities be at lib « r < : y to retain their own books , or to take those of the Viatim Committee at a valuation ; but that for the » ike of uniformity ( and aa a guarantee against fraud ) , all bookfl ba sent to the Victim Committee , that they may ba stamped with the delegate ' s official seal . " The localities , by this arrangement , aye at liberty to fix their owe securities with their collectors .

    On the motion of Mr . Cuffay , all monies received at the Delegates' Meeting , were ordered to be pair ! in to the Evening Star , and published in that j 0 urn . 1 L An announcement was made that Mr . Wheeler had been instructed to prepare parchment credentials , as documentary authority , duly signed and sealed , for th » Chartist lecturers , m ? ny of whom ore already on the wing to lacturo in their appointed districts . TUe aubject of Cjnv'ist tracts was also brought under tho consideration -of the meeting , as a desirable loeana through v ; hicb . to diBBeruimue sound Chartist prio-CJDltB . ¦ - . .

    A variety of other business was then transacted , after whk'ti thai ka were T . ; ted to tbe Chairman , and tha meetinc sei > .-. r , teil ;
