      SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . Fkiekds of Freedom , swell the strain Tiat : peals across th' Atlantic main , And echoes vide o ' er hill and plain , Arousing men to Liberty . Tour every moral power awake , B = Btr yourselves for Freedom's sake ; Base Slavery ! rh » tn « shall snap and break . Before your godlike energy . Lift np your bees from the dtut , Year cause is holy , pore , and jost ; In Freedom ' * God pat all your trust , Be he your hope and anchor , ( rive to the world your firm decree , That Batons will—they will be free ; Shout , shout for glorious Liberty 1 It will succeed and conquer .

      Yam tyrants , that would make us slaves , Go look upon the patriots' graves , And study there , ye dastard knaves , The folly of yonr knavery . What ! think ye to subdu 9 the mind , Which Gad hath given to mankind ? Te surely will for ever find Men will not Buffer slavery . Though ye have prisons to immure The poor , and friends unto the poor , Yet think not basely to allure The flock from they who leai them Tain are your dungeons , idly vain The rack , the torture , and the chain ; Te neither wn nor shall restrain Our strong desire for freedom . We ask for rights by Nature given , Sanctioned and ratified by Heaven , For which our forefathers have striven

      On the bittie-Seld and wave ; We wish to make no man our foe , For all are equal born we know , And all must surely , surely go To the republic of the grave . Bksjauis Stoti Manchester .

      Total 132 6 LEEDS . — North Ward Meeiing . —A meeting was held at the Harewood Arms , on Monday evening last , to nominate a candidate for the North Ward at the forthcoming election for Town Councillors . Mr . Thomas Brnmfitt was called to the chair . A vote of thanks was proposed to the retiring Councillor Mr . Watson , J an ., for his services to the North Ward BuTgesses . This was opposed on the gronad that be had never rendered any services to the Burgesses , which were beneficial to them either in a local or political point of view ; the proposition wa =, of course , loBt to the great disappointment of the Whigs . The nest proposition was that Mr . William Hornby , tobacconist , be nominated as candidate on the first » f November . It was then requested by Mr . William Baron and others , that Mr . Hornby should be present , and give a statement of his political opinions , and also of his

      views with respect to the local affairs of the town , as this was a period which rendered such a step necessary to the burgesses , who onght to know the opinions of the men whom they were called upon to support before they gave a decision . An amendment was therefore proposed , That the meeting adjourn to Tuesday , September 27 th , at eight o ' clock in the evening , and that Mr . Hornby be in the interim communicated with , requesting his attendence at the adjourned meeting , for the purpose above named . " The amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority . Burgesses of the North Ward attend the next meeting ! Shew to the factions that yon are determined to have a man that will advocate your rights in the council , and contend for a reduction of the abominable and extravagant expenditure of the public money , and a reduction of the police foree . This is an important crisis ! therefore let every burgess be there , and rally round a man of their own choice .

      NEWCASTLE . Dari . vg Robbest sy j Policeman . —On Thursday morning last , the house of Mr . Wbeatley , Bine Bell Ipn , Quay-side , was entered by John Nelson , a policeman , and as he supposed they were all asleep , he went direct to the till , and was in the act of emptying its contents into Jus pockets , when the noise which he made with the coppers was heard up stairs , and whea Mr . Wheatley came down stairs he caught him in the act . He was immediately taken into custody , and after examination by the magistrates , was committed to take his trial at the next assizss .

      The Americ a * Diver . —Smith , the diver , took an other leap from Sunderland bridge , on Monday , the 19 th instant , amidst a vast crowd of spectators , but it nearly cost him his life . The height is upwards of 110 feet , but he darted into the water without fear , and afterwards rose apparently in a very feeble and exhausted condition . On beiDg brought ashore he was seized wish convulsions , when it was fonnd necessary to bleed him . At first the blood flowed slowly , and was as black as treacle , shewing the great congestion , which had taken place in the lungs , together with the gorged state of the heart and blpod-Ve- ~ els . He . suffered sometime from nervous exhaustion , but ultimately rallied .

      The " Press Gang . " — The Sheffield Independent is in extacies with Mr . Vincent ' s lectures—they form -n event in the political history of Sheffield . It is the first time since the commencement of the Universal Suffrage Movement which dates from 1838 , that thesnbject has been brought before the public ander favourable auspices , and in a rational manner . But while praising this new light of Complete Suffrage , and urging a union of the middle and working classes npon the basis laid down by Mr . Vtncent , the Editor ( uo doubt unintentionally ) let ' s the cat out of the bag—( Hear him 1 '" There must , then , be a anion , complete and cordial , of the middle and working classes ; but it is plain that the working classes will not join that union , except upon one fundamental condition , and that is the acknowledgement and

      advocacy of their claim to the elective franchise . On this basis , there may be a union , a living , hearty , powerful union , which may be made effective , not only to attain the franchiss , but if that be delayed , to accomplish many other political ebjeefs ia the meantime . " Here is a projected union of the foxes and geese with a vengeance ; Cackle away ye dupes of Complete hnmbng , ye'll find out your folly in due time . The proposed union may be made effective for the obtamment of the franchise ; but , " don't you wish you may get it ! " " but if that be delayed other political objects may be accomplished m the meantime . "Wi ; at political objects ? Of course rot Corn Law Repeal , for over and over sgsin we have been told that is not a political object ; bet to come to plain sailing , in sober seriousness let usaik what is the meauii . g of the above ?

      Is th . re any other meaning than this , tnat wnile the basis of the projected union of the middle and working c ' as ^ es is to be the acknowledgment on ihe part of the forcer , of the justice of the ciaim of the laiter to the elective franchise , that that union is to be worked for the accomplishment of other political object ? , to wit , Corn Law Ilepeal and Vote bt Ballot ! We reiterate what we have often before asserted , our conviciicn thai the Complete Suffrage movement was started for the purpose of CiTjdinx the popular party , and using the people ' s power for the obtainment of u other objects" than iLe ** rix points" cf the Chaiter . Hoaest icn there c ^ ay be in the ra ^ ks of the Complete Suffragists , bu : there are too maay schemers associated with them for us to have much faith in their political integrity .

      All in the Daek . —During the performance of divine Bervice at St . Helen's Church , in this city , on Sunday eveniDg last , some graceless urchin had the audacity to enter the doorway from the street , and crept unheard to the spot where the gas meter of 'he church is deposited ; having suddenly turned off ihe gas , and left the minister and congregation in total darkness , he hastily decamped , and by djot of bard running , avoided detection . — Worcester Chronicle . Cidbb and PsaaY . T'Tiiese delightful beverages ( says a Newent correspondent ) will be extremely cheap next month . Good Perrj then will be sold at Ledbury a . 25 ? . for the hogshead of 100 gallons . A large farmer at Dymock , near Ledbury , has engaged to deliver 2 , 000 gallons of excellent cider at Abergaveany , by the first week in November at 6 d . per gal-Ion .

      The Weslby an Conference , whose sittings have jnst terminated , have decided upon allowing their ministers stationed in Scotland to wear the " gown " in their public services . There is a growing desire among the congregations in England that a similar resolution may be adopted for this country . —Sunderland Times . Touching Liars—Truth has become so scarce a commodity now a-days , that one hardly considers a man a liar , provided he lies for his own advantage ; for I verily believe that some men have akind of preference for a lie—that they would avoid telling the truth if possible , even though it suited them best . First and foremost of this highly respectable class are book-keepars at stage-coach or packet-effioes ; after them come horse-dealers , et hoc genus omne — Three Months' Lease .

      Expeditions Thaveixtng . —The steam-ship Antwerp ' .-n , Captain Jackson , left Antwerp on Wednesday afternoon last at a quarter past one o'clock ; she got up to St . Katharin / s Wharf , Tower , before nine o ' clock an Thursday morning , and in sufficient time for a merchant of Liverpool to leave London for that place by the ten o'clock train , so as to reach Liverpool the same evening ; thus , " to use the gentleman ' s own words in writing after bis arrival , " accomplishing the distance of 440 miles in 30 hours . " A River Dried Up . —The heats of the summer have so dried up the waters of the river Eibe , that the watermills are all at a stand ; and near Pirna the rher is entirely dry . The waters , in retiring , have given up a secret kept up by them for more than two hundred years . A Equare stone is left bare , having the following significant inscription in Saxton patois : — " When last men saw me , in August , 1629 , they wept ; and they who see me next eball weep too . "

      Incendiarism at Stston . —We regret to state , that a stack of barley , belonging to Mr . M . Sheffield , of Syston , was discovered to ba on fire there , on Tuesday morning last , and that there is but too much reason to consider that it was wilfully and maliciously occasioned . Indeed , we learn that the person in custody , John Bellamy , has admitted the fact . He was fully committed for trial on Wednesday , by Mr . Heyrick . We are credibly informed , that the prisoner has stated that he was prompted to the deed by feelings of revenge , as he asserts that a son of the owner of the stack maintained an illicit intercourse with his wife , under the roof , and with the connivance of her own father and mother . —Leicester Journal .

      Pencarrow . —Thi 3 seat of Sir William Molesworth , Bart ., has recently undergone considerable improvement . A piece of ground has been prepared , in which is planted a very interesting collection of New Zealand plants lately sent home by the brother or'the worthy Baronet . From the present appearance of the foliage , there seems to bo many new plantB among them ; and there is reason to expect that they will be of great benefit to our shrubberies and ornamental plantations . —Cornwall Advertiser . Mr . R . Hill . —Wo have been informed that the individual to whom the country is indebted for the

      inestimable advantages of the cheap postage , has just been dismissed from his situation by the Govern ment . Mr . Rowland Hill is ho longer to have even a share in the working of his own plan . This announcement being in accordance with an intimation made in Parliament towards the close of the session , may not occasion much surprise ; but we aregreatiy mistaken if it does not excite throughout ths country feelings of regret and indignation . The proceeding is one so discreditable to the Government , that we can hardly understand how it should have been sanctioned , as it mustiiavc been , by Sir Robert Peel . —Morning Chronicle .

      A g ang of pickpockets is now frequenting the different markets and fairs in this county , who carry oui their designs on their neighbours' pockets by means of neatly dressed boys , whoso apparent innocence disarms all suspicion of their being thieves . In our last , we noticed the apprehension and committal of one of these iads , at Lincoln , a ? a reputed thief ; last week another of them wa 3 taken at Gainsborough , who was recognised by the governor of the Kirtoii Lindsey gaol as an old acquaintance , having bad him in custody for picking pockets at Brigg . —Boston Herald .

      Pickled Eggs . —An industrious farmer ' s wifr , residing at Shipton , near Andover , among a variety of other pickles which she annually introduces into her store-room , preserves pickled eggs . Tho process she uses in curing them is very simple . When she has a large stock of eggs en hand she boils some six or seven dozen till they become hard . She then divests them of the shell , and puts them into large jars , pouring upon them scalding vinegar , saturated with ginger , garlic , whole pepper , and allspice . This pickle is an admirable aid to cold meat , and is , iu the winter months , regarded as a perfect farmhouse luxury . —( From a Hampshire Correspondent . ) A Natural Protector . —The following acknowledgment appears as an advertisement in ihe Limerick Chronicle .

      India Rubber Pavement . —Who would have thought of paving our streets , stablea and passages with India rubber ? Yet such a thing seems to be expected ; for we find in a monthly periodical the notice of a plan for so doing . The price will be about the same as tho best asphalte pavement . It is so elastic that it will not fracture with the heaviest blow , which property prevents its wearing away . It can be altered , repaired , or relaid , at a small expense , as the old material can be taken back and reworked .

      Important to Circuxating Libraries and Book Cll'bs . —These establishment ' s are placed in a very serious position by the 17 th section of the New Copyright Act ( 5 and 6 Victoria , c . 45 . ) It is well known that most of them have for year 3 been in tho habit of obtaining and letting out to hire foreign editions of English works , infinitely to the prejudice of English anthor 3 and publishers , who are now however , most amply protected by tho act in question . The mare "having them in their possession for sale or hire" exposes them to the penalty of £ 10 for every such offence , together with double the value of every such copy of the work . This very

      stringent provision is no more than has long been called for , and threatens those who di ' sregad - it with almost immediate ruin . It is not only by the i ending out such pirated copies , but the mere having them ia their possession for such purposes , that this penalty is incurred . There are many libraries , especially in the country , that keep almost exclusively such cheap and foreign ediiions ; but we trust that this prompt intimation of the consequences of such acts will enable them to avoid the ruinous visits of the informer—for those gentry are , nc doubt , on tho alert .

      Extraordinary Specimen of Weaving . — We have recently had an opportunity of inspecting what we believe to be the most extraordinary specimen of the textile art that has yet been ses . -n in this country , produced at the works of Messrs . James aud Abraham Meyer and Co . of Bran enburg , near Berlin . It contains a medallion portrait of the late King of Prussia , supported by four emblematic female figures , representing Wisdom , Power , Justice , and Mercy , and also a copy of the will of that monarch , and of his well-known addross to his son and

      successor . The produce of the Prussian loam , however , appears to us greatly superior in delicaay of execution to the French ; and some of the figures , with their draperies , arc equal in efivot to the finest productions of the eugrarer .

      The late Riots at Manchester . —On Thursday a special session was held at tho New Bailey , before Mr . Maude , Mr . J . H . Wanklyn , and Mr . Eliaa Chadwiok , to decide npon the claims made by certain mill-owners in the borough of Manchester , against the treasurer of the hundreds , for damage done to their mills during tho late riots . There were four claimants , but as the only question was as to the legal responsibility of the hunared to make good the damage done by the rioters within the borough , only one case , that of Mr . Beckton , of the firm of Messrs . Stirling and B ? . ckton , Lower Mosley-street , was gone into . Mr . Charlewood , in support of the claim , called witnesses , who detailed the circumstances attending the attacks upon Mr . Beckton ' s house on the 9 th , 10 ; h , and 11 th of

      August , and estimated the damage at £ 23 . Mr . Rutter , as treasurer of the hundred , opposed the claim on two grounds—fir ? t , he contended that the damage done was not within the moaning of the Apt 7 and 8 Georgo IV ., under which the claim was made , inasmuch as the object of the rioters was shown to be merely to turn out tho hivmlsi ; whereas it had been decided , in the case of " Rax v . Thomas , " that there muat bs an evid mt intention on the part of the . mob to demolish the property , or , as the aot expressed it , " a beginning to pull down ; " and secondly , he argued , that since tho establishment of a valid corporation , the borough of Manchester , by tho 12 th section of the Municipal Act , was exempt from county rates , and if the magistrates made an

      order upon the treasurer of the county , he had no power to reimburse himself by a rate upon the borough ; the claim , 'therefore , ought to bo made u ^ on the borough , and not upon the county or the hundred . Mr . Gorst also argued , on the same side , that tho borough only was liable . Mr . Hamilton , for the claimant , citod tho act 7 and 8 George IV ., cap . 31 , sec . 12 , to show tho liability of tho hundred ; but the Court , through Mr . Maude , decidod that the hundred was not longer liable to make compensation for damage done by rioters within the borough , inarmuch as the borough was exempt from the payment of councy rate , except for special purposes named in the Municipal Aot , such as the prosecution of felons at the assizes . —Manchester Chronicle .

Wilson was on a visit at the country-houso of his brother , Thomas Wilson , Esq ., atFulford ; and on the fatal morning he took breakfast with hia friends , and appeared as usual . After breakfast he went out about eleven o ' clock , and , being * a fine morning , walked down to a retired situation on the bank of the Ouse , with an ir . tantion to bathe . He threwhis clothes off , laid them on the bank , placed his gold watch upon the clothes , and then incautiously plunged into the water . Unfortunately the deceased had mistaken the place , there being a

      s' -auow part of the water near , to which bathers often resorted , but . the place he entered being of very great dapth , He could not swim ; and ft is supposed that he met with a watery grave almost immediately . About twelve his clothes were found lying on the bank , and search wia immediately made for the body . It was flopn firand ; and a coroner ' s inquost was held the sam . e eveniug , when tho case was so clear that the jury , without hesitation , returned a verdict of u Found drowned .

Six engines were shortly on the spot , and soon after their arrival an immense body of water was poured into the factory from all six engines , but it was of no avail , After this experiment the efforts of tho police werft directed to the surrounding property , and it was fortunate that nearly a dead calm prevailed , or the whole of Blackfriara-Btreet would moat certainly have been' consumed . Although some rumour of incendiarism prevailed , it is now considered tolerably certain that it was a pure

From the basement story there ia a communication from room to room to the top of the factory by means of a kind of basket or-tub , which . is hoisted up through trapdoorH in each story .
