      SONG FOH THE MILLION'S . A . shoot for freedom : be it loud and long , Earnest snd heartfelt , manly , clear , -and strong ; Let it re-rcho throogh the dungeon grave , Where groans -with agony " the living alsre , In fetters bound , ** toe damps of death among ; Let it aecend the Taulted roof of heaven , And with prayer sineere , Invoke His aid by whom all good ifl given To give what man holds dear—The blessed boon of liberty ; oh i let it brave The bated brand of Blavery , and o ' er hill and wave Reverberate , filling all air and space With glorious tidings to the human race .

      A shout for freedom : let the free-born mind , Which tyrants emaoVquail . nor quench , nor blind , Give energy and strength nnto the sound "Which shall tha despot ' s daring deeds confound . Oh 2 nuy it ride upon the wings of wind , Awakening liberty to universal birth , Shedding 5 ray of light Upon nations of the fsir-form'd earth , Arousing into might The power of unity , and truth , and love ; Pispensiig rights , which Mercy ' s God above , Thronch ail His works hath shown with blessed grace To be His equal sift to all the human race .

      A shout for freedom I join ye toiling slaves ! Bear ye no longer burdens for the knaves Who drive and bind ye for their srains WrJ-. Ttxis of iron and galling resins Into yoiii tarly and ignoble graves . "Sp and be doing , fritnds of man and trntb , They cannot long resist The claim of maid and matron , age and yoatli Despots of earth , desist To practise -rillaay ; oppress no more Your { fellow mortals , l « st ye should deplore The retribution which none can assuage When Hien shall lose their reason in their rage . Benjamin Sxoxt Manchester .

      SHEFFIELD . —Mason ' s Stbikb . —At a- public mett rg , field in the Political Institute , it wasresolved unanimously : — "That it is the opinion of thifi meeting that the masons ara not only jostified i but highly to be ommended for striking against the tyranny of Allen and Grissell and PttD , and as such are entitled to the support of Their fellow-countrymen . " — "Tuai the conduct of the Government in prolonging the contract of Grissell and Peto , and allowing them to nse stone of an inferior quality , snd on the other hand , placing every obstacle in the way of the workmen , is highly censurable , and « Eght to be reprobated by every lover of

      evenhanded justice . — Tnat , seeing the gross oppression practised upon the mason 3 , acd the necessity > f supporting them against their oppressors , & collection be made at the close of the meeting towards supporting them in their glorious struggle . " — " That the Committee be requested to continue meetings at the London Apprentice every Tnursday evening , at half-past seven o ' clock , to receive subscriptions for the support of the masen 3 , and that those trades who have not" hithsxto sanj delegates , are requested to -do so , to give their assistance in supporting lie jnason =.

      GASXiXSXiEu—Case of Arsos . —We mentioned in our last ^ that the three prisoners , Mary Caristopherson , her daughter , Frances Cbristophersoilj and her servant , Mary Blaylock , all cf Vfhom "Were -charged with willfully setting fire to the Angel Inn , English-street , were remanded for further examination . On Wednesday the 16 ib inst ., they were again brought np before the msyor , G . G . Monnsey , Esq ., Messrs . J . Yawcet , J . Dixon , G . Saul and J . Ferguson . The greatest excitement has prevailed , and ¦ when the prisoners were brought from the prison te the Town Hall , large groups of people were assembled in the different streets through which they had to pass . The examination lasted for four hoars ; several witnesses were examined , whose evidence

      ¦ was strongly confirmatory of the former evidence , and fully conclusive as to the guilt of the prisoners , more particularly the two eldest . They were fully committed to take their trial at the nest assizes for the capital offence . The prisoners , during the whole of the examination , had a v » ry dejected appearance . Mrs . Cflristopherson and her daughter were conveyed back to the prison in a sedan chair . Since writing the above we haTe examined the premises of the Angel Inn ; and from appearances there , we feel convinced thai a most wicked and heartless attempt . had been made for the purpose of effectually burning the whole premises to secire * he insurance money . The presence of chips , peats , and sticks , pDed and lighted i » almost

      every room , leaves n » doubt en the mind of the spectator , that the most extensive preparations had been made to fire the premises . The floors are torn ep in most of the rooms , the stair case broken , and chips and shavings , and otaer inflammable materials placed in all the interstices of the floors of the back part of the premises , and under the tHirs- While what little furnitnre that remained Cfor all the best portion of it had been carefully packed up , and t aken by Mary Blaylock , at sundry times , fay a hotje and cari to the ca-oal . Tcere were sixteen large paci 3 ges , all of which were addressed " Mary Blaylock , Passenger , New York , Amp-riea . " So that little doubt can remain as to the intention of the prisoners , ) in the honse was carefully exposed to the operation of the flames ; and , while no donbt can remain as to the criminal intent ,, it mnst be a maiter of surprise to all who see the premises , tfca :. the fire

      was not more destructive . There weie no less than twelve fixes lighted . The two elder prisoners , afier ligh-ing the fires , which they had been preparing since about the first of February last , retired with the vounger prisoner into the front room , whtTd every preparation bad been made to prevent the " fire from entering , umil the other portion of the premises were effectually on fire . Wst mats had been placed at the boitom of the door to prevent the Rimes from entering tbat pornon oi the premises in which the prisoners had bought refuge . The premises of the Angel Inn have , on the one side , those of Miss Wearers , which are used as a baby linen and millinery warehouse , and on the other those of the Joiners' Arms Inn , kept by Mr . George tittle ; they also adjoin , in pin , the pre mi ? es of ihe Coffee Hous ? Hotel , and theie are besidf * a number of stables and other buildings

      behind , which had an almost miraculous escape . On the back part of the premises of the Angel lun resided a person named Grabame , who is a horsekeeper at the Coffee Hos < e , with his wife and family , bus they Jbrtunair-ly escaped uniDjured . The family of Mr . George Little were m gn-as danger ; ail the furniture were removed w the main street , and placed under the proitction of the military , while his wife and family made their escape without any covering but their night domes . Mis r ister-in-law , and Mr . J . Crosihwaite , driver of the London mail between Lancaster and ini 3 city , who was lodging in the house , was almost suffocated with the smoke belore they couid reach the door . _

The lecturer introduced Binging by giving out a hymn of his own composition . \ Signal Failure qf the Complete Suffrage . —Meeting in the ilewN Hall . ^ -A meeting , which was intended to be most numerous and important , so far as numerous and immense placards posted on the walls and paraded through the town on boards , calkd for tbe purpose of electing delegates to the Complete Suffrage Conference , was held at the Town Hall on Monday last . Notice was given that no person would be allowed to take part who had not signed Mr .

      Sturge's Declarattan . Throughout the whole of the forenoon the streets were paraded by men with large boards , announcing the meeting for two o ' clock ; ctnd at a quarter-past two there was not Jite . hvndrdd people in the whole buil / ding , ichich is capable 0 / holdiiig ten thousand . The large gallery was completely empty , and the side galleries were occupied by abotit 100 Chartists , chitfly members of the National Chartsr Association , who went through curiosity , and ; about 300 in the body of the Hall . Now , considering the large humbfcr of persons who are unemployed in this town on tv Monday , and the great esteem in which Mr , Joseph Sturge ia held as a private character , the meeting must be looked upon as the most complete failure ever witnessed in this town , particularly as it was held in the Town Hall ,

      a place so commodious and celebrated that the bara mention of a meeting there has the effect of drawing large nnmbera . The public will thus perceive that the people of Birmingham do not take any Interest in the Complete Suffrage" scheme . Lt should also be understood that a number of active canvassers were employed for the last fortnight to gain signatures to the Complete Suflfrage Declaration . No jBtrpnger proof can therefore be given that the mtn tf BiTmingham are determined to stand fast by the Chartcr - At half-past two Mr . Joseph Sturge , accompanied by AldermaiiVVes ton , the Rev . Mr . ; $ wiin , and several other persona , made their appearance in the organ gal ! ery , and were greeted by their friend ? . Mr . Joseph Sturge was then proposed as chairman , ' and entered into an explanation

      of the purpose for which the meeting had been called . He expressed a wish for a Union of the ; middle and working classes , in order : to secure a full / free , and fair representotion of the whole people , and concluded by calling on the secretary to read the rules laid down by the Provisional Committee in ^ Birmingham for the election of delegates to the forthcoming Convention . The Secretary then read a printed document setting forth the manner in which delegates were to be elected . Aftsr . ' . which Mr Alderman Weaton addressed the meeting at great length , and moved a resolution . The Rev . Mr . AUsop also delivered a leng speech , and seconded it , after which a young mau delivered a lone harangue and found fault with the violent Chartists and their leaders , for which he was warmly

      applaud d by the persons in the 1 organ gallery , amounting to about one hundred . The Bpeeches up to this time were heard with silence and seeming indifference , with the exception of a few attempb at cheering Jn the organ gallery , which utterly failed . Mr . Smith Lindon , a member of the Council of the National Chatter Absociation stood up in the side gallery to address the meeting . He was received with loud cheers , aad was invited to the organi gallery by Mr . Sturge . Ke was again loudly cheered on making his appearance in front , and proceeded to address the metting in an animated and argumentative manner . He disclaj . med any wish to create diviaon between the middle and working classes . He explained the principle 1 j of the Charter separately , and showed that nothing short of those principles could be called ifuU , fair , and free representation of the people , anil called upon all who agreed with him to hold up thleir hands , two-ttiirds of the meeting imtnediately

      reaponded to the ^ call amid load cheers . He theo called on ttw , 3 e who were opposed to the Charter , to hold up thf it bands , when vfew bands were held up . This was r ago followed by loud cheera . The chairman here intip iated to Mr . Lindon that he was out of order . Mr . Lin * ' l 0 n replied that there waa no chairman , for the meetiB / , bad sot voted on the subject Mr . Sturge was then ; ,- elected nnanimotuly . JHr . Ckprge White ttien took off his hat , in tbe Bide gallery , and osk « d the cbai' . man ' s leave to address the meeting . The chairmar j beckoned him to the organ gallery . When Mr . w hite arrved at the ciair , he was asked by Mr . Sturge hether he had signed the declaration for complete suffrage . Mr . White said be hud not He was then told that he could not be allowed to address the meeting nnlesa ho consented to do so . Mr . White refused to sign the declaration , and said it did hot comprise his views . He was then iaformed that it womld not be fair for him to persist in his attempt at opposition to what bad been published . An uproat ' then comuwnced ,

      through the shouts which were raised for white , '' and the hisses of those opposed to hearing him . Mr Stnrge then put it to Mr . White whether it would not be better for him to give up hia Intention , as he should not like it to go forth to the public that he had b ^ en the means of breaking up the meeting , v ^ hich he was sure would be the case if he persiated . Mr . Sturge then oiffered to take a show of hands if Mr . White tb « nght proper . Mr .

Brazier was called to the chair , and in an able manner addressed the audience Mr . Dufiield moved the first resolutiou— - " That in the opinion of thisl meeting ; our present distressed and degraded position arises from the ftystam of class legislation , and that this can only ba efitjctualiy abolished by the People's Charter becoming the law of the land . "

      Mr . Wragau seconded the resolution in a brief and pithy manner .: Mr . Wheeler in a long address , ably supported , the sentiments contained in the resolution , and called u pon them to unite for the attainment of the People ' s Charter . The resolution was then put ai » d carried unanimously . Mr . Bursage , witii considerable ability , moved the following resolution;—VThat this meeting is of opinion that any attempt to distract : the attention of the people by the agitation of meaaures of temporary expediency is highly reprehensiWe , and hereby pledges itself to support no measare of less extent than the People ' s . Charter . " Dr .. M'I > ouan , in a lengthened and able manner , showed the necassity of remaining at thia critical juncture firm and united in the support of that measure which alone could ensure

      a fair representation to the working classes of this country , and thereby promote their happiness and prosperity . He also in calm and temperate Ianr guage , showed the ptrora and the fallacies of the various schemes with which our sham Radical friends were , endeavouring to allure ua , and concluded his admirable and eloquent address amid much applause . The resolution was then carried unanimously . Mr . Dufiield , in a feeling manner , moved the ; next resolution : — " That this meeting views with detestation the ruffianly attack lately made upon Feargus O'Conn&r , Esq . ; and the Chartists , at the Hall of ; Science , Manchester , in order to suppress free discussion , and that this meeting resolves , on every occasion , to support

      and encourage that right . " Mr . Squires britfly seconded the resolution . The chairman , on putting it to the niettlng , conimented in a forcible manner upon the shameful conduct of the League party in Manchester , in countenancing such conduct ; the same feeling existed among a similar party in tbelr own neighbourhood , but- they were not powerful enough to exercise it . The resolution was then unanimuusly carried Votes of thanks were given to Messrs . Wheeler and M'Douall , arid the chairman . : A sum of upwards of 8 s . was coileicted for the Whig-made widows , a consi . derablo quantity of signatures were obtained to the petition , and the meeting separated with cheers toe the Charter , tha Star , &c .

      An Adj . ocrned Meeting of electors was held at the Dr . Johnson Tavern , Bolt Court , Fleet-3 ' . rett , on Thursday , the 17 th , at which there was a numerous attendance of iufl . aential individuals ^ for the purpose of forming the liberal electors of London into an Electoial Charter Association , Dr . Wade was called to the chair . Mr . Wheeler , 'as secretary , read the minutea of the precedilig meeting , and the answers he had received rroin * ome of the Iiohdoa M . P . ' a who had been invited to attend , prl M'Douall moved ttte first reeolution , and explained that an . ' Electoral ' . Charter Association would stiuid- in the same position to the National as the present trades localities did . The resolution wavas follows : —" 'Xhat it is tbe opinion of this meeting that class legislation has given rise to evils destructive of

      the best ^ interest of the middle class , ana oppressive and . injurious : to the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland j that the partial extension cf the suffrage , by the Reform Act , has created divisioh and jeaibuay between two classes who ought to be- united > that . np cordial union can or ought to be estabikhed between electors and non-electors , except upon the broad and entire principles of the People ' s Charter ; and , therefore , this meeting is of opinion tfcat it is the duty of all patribtic electora to form themselves into an Association in their respective electoral districts , for the purpose of procuring the speedy enactment of Uriiversal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification , Equal Electoral Districts , and Payment of Member ? . Mr .

      Brown geconded the resolution . He had on the previous meeting been opposed to it , thinking that it might raise an association to run counter with our own , but the third resolutiou which they had heard read , obviated that objection . Mr , M'Leod supported the resolution . He had ever endeavoured to promote the interests of the Working classes ; he thought that instead of being Ignorant , their very position in society gave them an advantage on the score of intelligence , ft requ red more ability in a carpenter . to makes table than it did in him , as a brewerj to sell a barrel or " a butt of beer . He wished to see a friendly feeling exist betweenbothClasses . The resolution was thenunaaimously carried . Mr . Dron , in an able' manner moved the second resolution . As an elector , he had 6

      ntertiined a : prfjudice against the Chartists , but that entirely disappeared when he cauie to mix amongst them , and to have a correct opinion of their real objects . He was convinced thU would also be the case with other electors . He moved , " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the grievances endured' by the middle and working clasaes can only be safely andexpeditiously abolished , by the united and peaceful efforts of both classes ; and therefore the objects and end of an . elfcctoril charter Aesociatfon , shall be to cause a thorough knowledge of the principles of the People ' s Charter to be disseminated amongst the Electors , for the purpurpose of creating public opinion in . favour of that measure ; apd to secure the return to Piirliament of Members ' advocating the entire principles of the

      People ' s Charter . " Mr . Pedley seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Ruffy Ridley , in an eloquent nianner , moved the adoption of the tbitd resolutiop . He leoked with an eye of considerable jealousy upon the middle classes juicing the movement , ' and would not consent to the tirst resolution , unlesa this which ho would read agaia should be carried also , That it is the opinion of this meeting , the Electoral Charter Association can only establish a mutual confidence between electors and non-electors , by adopting the National Petition , " , and procuring , their cards of membership from the Executive of the National Charter Association , which body consisting of five members , is elected by the Universal Suffrageofi the members tf the Association , holds office far one year , is is

      paid for its services ^ responsible its-stct 3 to the Chartist constitueHcies . " Mr .: Farrer seconded the resolution ; unless the middle class gave us this test of their sincerity , he would not endeavour to obtain their assistance aa an elector of Marylebone , and biing a member of the Reform Association , and : cfi the Parochial Committee , he had seen so much of the poiitical insincerity of this class , that he would unite with them on no other tenas save those contained in the resolution . Mr . Mungay , a » a middle-class iuan , himself had no objection to the resolution , ' but he feared it : would deter many from joining , who , if they had the entire power of self-gbvernaieni in their own districts , would have no objection , to ea » ol themselves && members . Mr . G Hartwell would only consent to the- first lesolution by

      the thud beiag earned . The aody . to which he belonged ^ Matylebonej would be very j , « alous of any attempt to raise up an opponent to the National Charter Association . Dr . M'Douall , man ablei manner , defiued the duties of the Executive , and showed that in load matters , every locality had the compleie power of sejfgovermuent . Mr . J . Cleave ably addiessed the meeting in support of tbe resolution . He hasi but little he ^ es of the ehojvkeepera stirring in this metter . Mr . Poi ? ir supported the resolution . Mjc . S-waine said thai no person pethaps was ,.. beitec acquainted witij the views of the electors , more particulariy of . the city , than he wasi and ha could assvsre the xaetting that he could scarce get them to listen to him on tae tubject , he wosld advise them to stick to their

      Chaiter and to rely entirely oa : their own energies . — - Dr . Wade had no objection to the resoluttoa ; he "Was ready to take out hia card . —^ The Dr . waa speedily furnished with an enamelled one , and his nasote inserted in it by Dr . M'P oniUly Some Doctors contented themselves with mejely prescribing , but the Chartist Doctors it appeared were not content with that , bat wisely took care to sea that the medicine waa speedily administered —( cheers ) . He trusted no one would , tf ter this , think that he 1 was not zealous in the cause If he belonged to any other body which they conceived would militate agaiast ttito , he would give it up , conceiving this to be of paramount importance . —Mr . Wheeler supported the resolution . If the electors took the cards of our

      Executive , they would essentially become part or portion of out National Charter Association , and on that condition only would he be instrumental in cementing an union . The third reBolution was then unanimously carried . A committee , consisting of Dr . W ade , Messrs . ilungay , Fatref j Ridley , Dron , Ross , and Brown , with power to add to their . jaumber , were / appointed to coUecit fud-8 ciiptionBfotthepurpoBe of calling a large ^ public meeting at the Cicown and .
