SOXG FOR THE MILLIONS . The Britoas may boast of their sea-girt Isle , They ma ? <» u ** U 18 laEd of the filr and the fre 8 { wCr nay tell of its climate , its culture , and aoll , Ar < l sinff in «» P ™ * of-its old oaktree . They msy send forth their ships o ' er the great nit sea , Affecting to scorn all the nationB of earth ; But 1 et the inquiry of tree Britons be , What the freedom of Englishmen reaEy is worth . It is true that this Island is fruitful and fair , That plenty abonndtth in g- ^ en and field , That God in his goodness hath made it his eare ; And the besndes of nature has folly reveal d ; The sun shineth bright on its mountains and plains ; Its sons they are brave , and its daughters are fair ; Bnt alES . ' o ' er its destiny tyranny reigns , And thousands are driven to death and despair . The patriot -who dares to unbosom bis mind ,
Who dares to giTe utterance to truth without guise , In this land where the Goddess of Justice Is blind , _ Is huntedj by perjurers . villains , and spies ; And , should he dare call for political right , And tell w the world how humanity grieves , He is dragg'd from his bed in the dead of the night , And cramm'd in a dtmjeon ' mid felons and thieves . In derision he next is arraipi'd st the bar , And Justice is dealt him frith unsparing hand ; Ha is sent from his country and kindred afar , To pine and to die in a pestilent land . Oh , God of the world ! shall it ever be so ? It shall not ! if mercy thine attribute be ! The time is approaching when sorrows and woe Shali flj from the earth , and mantind shall be free Then come , blessed time we have pray'd for so long ! Great Giver of Liberty , come to our aid ! For virtue is weak , and foul vice it is strong ;
And tyranny s tortures have made men afraid . But they never ! no never ! can quecck the pure flame ; It burns in our bosoms , is fann'd by our breach ; We will ^ ing to tile love of fair freedom's dear naiie . And the hope to enjoy it shall ceasa but with death J Bex jam is Stott . Manchester .

Mr .

On the road thither the deceased , who was not employed on the railway , said , he had coma from Southampton to see his brother , who was in the company ' s service , —feeling very tired , he endeavoured to get a lift down the line by the train in question , and in jumping up to one of the waggons his foot slipped , and he fell on theiaii , when the rest of the train , amounting to six or eight waggons , pas = ed over him .

Instructions for the funeral 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 a brass plate , upon which was engraved " Cecilia Chilcott—Died St-pt . 29 , 1842 , aged 28 years .

The greatest decorum was observed by ihe whole of the party , and a more respectable funeral , we understand ,, has not been Been in the town for many years . We are credibly informed , that in the coffin were placid by the side of the body the deceased ' s watch and a purse of money , for the protection of which a person is appuinred to watch the grave for some weeks . The father of the deceased , attributing the death of his daughter to the removal by the police , threatens io take legal proceedings against the parties . — Chelmsford Chronicle .
The Pitmen akd the Coal-Tax . —At the binding of 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 those coals vronld be raised if the proposition were carried into effect , would not bind the men without having a clause inserted in the agreements reserving 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 ihe men ,
noi satisfied with the quantity of work the trade then afforded them , demanded of the owners wages for the days they were 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 that , under the clause referred to , the men are not entitled to their wages on a temporary cessation of demand , and that it is cot necessary that there should be a total cessation of demand in order to prevent the workman from re covering 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 Stkalikg . —For the last fortnight , several of the Tillages around Andover have been visited at night by an unprincipled gang of marauders , who contrive to rob the a apiaries" of the poor cottagers in that neighbourhood . They select the darkest sights 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 eide , in which , under a hedge , they
dig as many holes as they have hives , and by intro ducing ignited brimstone into the same , cover them with the hives , bottom downwards , by which means the beeB ar » effectually destroyed , whilst they possess themselves of tho 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 eDjojment of their private domestic comforts , and tie wretches must be callous , indeed , who would rob ihe dependant poor of their all .

I was conveyed to Bmv-atreet , and one thousand six hundred pounds bail demanded of me . Of course I had to decline the just offer cf the magistrates , and was conv . yed to Manchestt r , and having travelled all night , I .- lrrived in Manchester on the morniDg of Saturday , was placed ia a dirty , filthy cell , Bwarming with bugs , was brought before thu magistrates at the New Biiluy , a » d £ 1 , 200 bail tSemaaded
from me ; I could not tud such enormous' bail ,-and had to remain H prison ; I was brought from Manchester to Liverpool hand-ouffdU like a murderer , and when I and others hail to get out of the railway carriage on a call of nature , Beswick , the superintendent of the Manchester police , iusulted me as well aa others most grossiy , and whan convcjii'g uk from the station iu oiniiibusiis to tho prison , he ashed us if we . squirm ! auy refreshments ; I suU I could like a cup of coffee ; he toid m « I vrai very impertinent , and added , he would pieass himaelt wueiher ha would , jet ua have any refresh mtat or nut . His conduct was eo extremely tyrannical aad overocariiii ; . toat Mr . Doyio aud myself tuld him we should bu
under the necessity of reportim ; him to Sir J-iiina Graham . I was suut up bsfore Lord Abingbr , in company with scMts of others , and arraigned ou a charge of conspiracy . We ail traveled from tr . e Special CV . ni mission until the March assizes . The Judge ordered that I should find bail to the amount cf £ 300 , that is , myself in £ 200 , and two auretios in £ o 0 each ; this was on Wtanrnday morning la « t . On Thursday I applied to tha Governor of Kirkdale for the Judge ' s order for my bail , as he , the Ju . iije , had decided that bail might be accepted ia tho locality in which each peraen resided . . I at once rec- 'ivtrt the necessary information and document , from the Governor , and I transmitted the same to niy bail in London . I have received the enclosed letter in answer to mine .
I have been stripped of my money , pen-knife , watch and every tbiBg useful to me ; nay more , even a book in my possession teas taken from we , aud subjected to the judgment of the chaplnin of this prison before I could be allowed its use ; aye , to that man who , in order to edify hi 8 bearers this morning , forgot thas he was a minister of the meek and humble Saviour , and dwindled into the furious political partizin ; even the newspapers that niy wife endeavoured out of her scanty means to send ma are detained . Such , Sir , is thu treatment that the democrat is subjected to . I can assure you that this patty annoyance of the Tory Government and its miiiiona , shall not break my spirit , or drive me from my course in waging war against injustice and despotism ; but , Sir , I apply to you as a
public servant , to inform ma how it is that such conduct can be permitted on the pirt of Government officials . I can assure you that suoii conduct , instead cf deterring me from , shall be a ^ rt-ater inducement to me to persevere in my stern opposition to oppression of every kind , and never to ueaae in my endeavours until even-handed justice hhali be meted out to all men , and the name ef fat Una forgot , and the supremacy of the peopla—the whole people—and neither more nor less ttiMi the whole people—acknowledged . I tan , Sir , your political opponent , your equal by nature , aud a stern democrat , ¦ - . ' ' . . John Campbell . Right Hon . S'r James Graham , Secretary 1 for the Home Department .
Saturday Night . Dear Sir , —I am aeain compelled to forward yon unwelcome news .. I got Sawoll aDd Batsman to attena yesterday morning at Bow-street ; we were kept rtaJJying aboat there all day , aa was also Mr . Shaw , and at length had an interview with Mr . Bull , who informed us he was quite ignorant of the subject , and had not received any notice from the Judges upon the subject of yo » r bail . To-day I received your Jetter containing a copy of your committal . I immediately went to Lambeth , and got Messrs . Seweli aud Bateman arain to accompany me to Bsw-street ; but they theu informed ua that- the document you had forwarded me was no authority tor tham to act upon ; tbn , t no order had been ivceivfed from Liverpool . Mr . Hall was not present , it not being his day . Barnaby , the chief clerk , also informed us that if an order arrived they could act upon it ; that the prisoner mast be present in the same court as his feail , and be included in the same bail-bond ; and that it would be necessary to . send the bail to yon .
We know , not how to act in this diiemma . You must make immediate enquiry on the subject . Sta if the Governor , or semo official person , cannot tell you what course to pursue . Could yon not procure four in £ 25 where you are , or at Manchester 1 If not , write tome inanediattly , and I-will endeavour to raise or borrow money to carry the bail to you diieotly upon the receipt of ycur letter . Yours faithfully , ThohaS M . Wheeleb .

It is with great paia that we have to apprise the Chartist public that the body of Mr . Wm . Russell , late of Nottingham , was found in the river Tvne , twelve mile 3 above Newcastle , on Wednebday week , supposed to have lain in the river since the 26 th ult ., the day on which he left his lodgings iu Newcastle . There were no markg of violence on the body , and it is supposed that he fell into the water accidentally in attempting to ford the river . His wife , who came
here in quest of him , arrived in town the very day on whioh the body was discovered , and she is now in a strange place , with three infant children , ia a state of tho utmost destitution . Our reason for stating this , is in hopes that some good Chartists will sympathise with her concition , and contribute a tr . fle , however email , towards her relief ; and as she will remain in Newcastle for a short time , any sum transmitted to Mr . James Sinclair , No . 3 , Pipeweli Gate , Gateshead , will be thankfully received , and acknowledged through the Star .

Murder and Robberv in Dundee—Edinburgh , Saturday , Oct . 15—We learned last night ( . r / ritfay ,-
Untitled Article
the loiiowing particulars relating to a case ol murder perpetrated in Dundee on Thursday uight , whioh for cold-blooded atrocity has had few parallels in thisparts of thocountry . On Thusday morning two men , who gave their names as M'K . tnzie- and Duff , and who appeared to be substantial north-country graziers , on their way homo from the Falkirk Tryst , callod at Mr . Croall ' s ooach-office , Prince ' s-street here , and enquired into var ous particulars regarding the starting of the Dundee cos-ch , which leavts here at ten o ' clock . As they had business to transac in one of tha banks , which does not open till ten o ' clock , they requested that the coach might be delayed a few minutes , whieh was promised . Abou ; ff
five minutes after ten , Du , who was a short , stout man , returned by himself , and asked whether the coach conld not be delayed a little longer till his friend , M'Kenzie , finisbedtheir mutual business at tha bank . This could not be acceded to , and the coach sec off without either of them . M'Kenzie , who is taller than his companion , and remarkable from one or two projecting front teeth , joined his friend at the coach office soon after ; the coach had gone , and both took an omnibus and joined the steamer just as she was about to leave Newhavf n . It would appear that M'Kenzio had received Duff ' s money at the bank , 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
Pettycur 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 and his money . Both parties then took their seats on the outside of the Dundee coach , near the guard , and proceeded in this way to Cupar Fife , without having much intercourse with each other , M'Kenzie employing himself during the greater part of the way in a low chant or muttering , of which , however , nyihing could b ; made . At Cupar a change of position took place . Both parties came down from the couch , and on remountiLg , M'Kerzietook his seat near the driver , whiie Duff kept his old place beside the guard , and continued so to Newport . On crossing the Tay ferry M'Kcnzk- ' s manner was observed to
be somewhat agitated , so much so , that a peison 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 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 * 11 respects to these persons , and of whose identity with them our informant had no doubt , were walking out of Dundee ; and wheu beyond the Law , on the northern extremity of the town , and close to theNtwtyle railway , 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 to somehousein theneighbourhood . orotherwise obtained assistance , and had sufficient su-engtk lift to tell the whole story , and to fii upon bis companion as his murderer , eharging him at the same time with having £ 1 , 000 of his property in hia possession . Information was immediateiy sent to the Dundee police office , and a search being set on foot , the other was apprehended at eight o ' clock yesterday ( Friday ) morninc 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 osr informant left was to the effect , that 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 was not a proper place
for settling their aeconnts , but proposed that they should botn proceed to a friend of his a few miles out in the country , where they wonld get a bed for the night , and might settle their affairs quietly . To this in an evil 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 is remarkable that Thursday was the fast-cay in that town , so that he would havosome difficulty in finding a shop open . ' It is also said that when he was apprehended a large sum of money was fon&d 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 previously been moving , and from the deliberate villany with which the murder must have been perpetrated .
