      SO ^ G FOX THE MILLIONS . _ a . about for freedom : be it loud amd long , : Earnest Mid heartfelt , manly , dear , and strong ; Let it reocho throngh the dungeon grays , Where groans with agony " the liiing slave , Jn fetters bound , " the damps of death among ; Let it ascend the Taulted roof of hearen , And with prayer Kin sere , Invoke His sid by whom all good is given To give "what-man holds dear—The blessed boon of liberty ; oh ! let it brave The bated brand of slavery , and o ' er bill and wave Reverberate , filling all air and space With glorious tidings to the human race .

      A shout for freedom ; let the free-bom mind , Which tyrants cannot quafl , nor quench , nor blind , Give energy and strength unto the sound Which shall the despot ' s daring deedB confound-Oh ' may it ride apon the wings of wind , Awakening liberty to universal birth , Shedding a ray of light Upon nations of the fair-farm'd earth ., Arousing into might The power of unity , and truth , and love ; Dispensing rkhcs , which Mercy's Gol above , Through all His works hath shown with blessed grace To be His equal gift to all the human race .

      A shout for freedem ! join ye toiling slaves < Bear je no longer burdens for the knaves Wio driTB and bind ye for their gains With rods of iron and galling chains Into yeur eariy sjid ignoble graves .

"—" TiiaJ the conduct of the Government in proloagins the contract of Grissel ! and Peto , and ailOVfiDg them to use Stone of an inferior quality , and on the other "hand , placing erery obstacle in the wsv of lb * workmen , is highly censurable , and

      CAZlXiISZilIii— Case of Absok . —We mentioned in our last , - thai the three pruottCTS , ilaij ChlistD--pherson , her o ' acefcter , Frances OiristophersoQ , and her servani , 3 Iary Biaylock , all of whom were charged with willfully setting fire io the Angel Inn , Es £ lisa- ? tr " eet , were remanded for further examination . On Wednesday the 16 th in ~ t . jtb . ey were again brought up before the mayor , G . G . Mounsey , Esq ., Messrs . J . Fawcet , J . Dixon , G . Saul and J . Ferguson . The greatest excitement has prevailed , and ¦ when the prisoners were brcngbs from the prison te the Town Hall , large groups of people were assembled In the different streets throu « h which they had to pass . The examinarion lasted for ¦ ' four hours ; ssTeral witnesses were examined , whose evidence

      vas 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 next assizes for the capital offence . The prisoners , during the whole of the examination , had a ftry dejected appearance . Mrs . Christopherson and her daughter were conveyed bick to the prison in a se-ian chair . Since "writing lie ' above we cave examined the premises cf tie Ansel Inn ; and from appearances there , ¦ we feel " convinced that a most wicked and heartless attempt had bsen made for the purpose of effectually burning the whole premises to seccre * he iusurance money . The presence of chips , peat ? , and sticks , piled and lighted in almost

      every room , leave ? ne doubt on the mind of the spectator , that the mon extensive preparations had beea mede to fire the premises- The floora are torn np in most of the rooms , the scair case broken , and chips and shavings , and other Inflammable materials placed in all the interstices of tlie floors of the back pan of the premises , and under the stairs . While what little furniture that remained Cfor all the best , portion cf it had been carefully packed up , ^ nd taken by ilary Biaylock , at sundry times , by a horse and cart to the can . ai . There were sixteen large ps . cka' < es , all of which w ; re addressed Mary Blajlock , Passenger , l \ ew York , America . " So that litde doubi cau remain as io the intention of tlie prisoners , ) in the house was carefully exposed to the

      operation of the flames ; and , while no doubt can remain as to the criminal intent , it must be a matter of surprise to all who see the premises , that the fire Kas not more destructive . There were no less than trrelre fires lighted . Ths two elder prisoners , after lighting the fires , which they had been prepanag since about the first of February last , retired with « ae younger prisoner into the front room , where erery preparation had been made to prevent the fire from entering , until the other portion sf the premises were effectually on fire . Wei mats bad teen placed at the bottom of the door to prevent the flames from entering thai portion of the premises in which the prisoners had sought refuge . The premises of the Angel Inn have , on the one sde , those of Miss Weavers , which are used as a baby liaea and miliinerr -warehouse , and on the « her those of the Joiners" Arms Ian , kepc by Mr .

      &t » rge j _ itde ; they also adjoiDj in part , the pre aises of the Coffee House Hotel , and there are besides a-number of stables and other buildings behind , which Lad an almost miraculous escape On the back part of the premises of the Anjjel Inn beaded a person named Grabame , who is a horsekeeper at the Coffee House , with his wife _ and family , but they fortunattly escaped uninjured . The fanaly of ilr . George Litt 5 e were in great danger ; all the furniture were removed to the main strtetjand placed under the protection of ihe militafy , while i 5 ~ wife and family made their escape ¦ without anv covering but their night clothes . His Hster-in-isw , and Mr . J . Crosthwaite , driver of the London mail between Lancaster and this city , wno was lodging in the house , was almost suffocated with ths smoke before they could reach the door .

      Scbjkis ? oa Paistixgs is ths House of Cohsgxs . —Amidst all the talk about the decorations of the new Parliament-bouses , there ha 3 been marre ; - lously little said about the subjects of the paintings with which they are to be embellished . A judicious selection of prominent events in the history of either House might be made , to leave upon the spectator a torrect impression of its character , and the cirenmaances which have contributed to develope it . Thus , with regard to the House of Commons , it n said of tae Oriental Potentate , that he cansed the leathern iprou he had worn when a mechanic to be borne itfore him a 3 a banner when king ; and of another , hat he had inscribed on a conspicntus part of his

      Syal hall , "Saladinthe Great must die " : the House t Commons might combine both pieces of morality * ith ftdititous effect , by placing opposite a pictHre t Qneen Elizabeth boxing the Speaker ' s ears , one of ¦ liver Cromwell ordering the mace to be carried * ay . Tien , to " fill the space between" this aipna fed omega of a Representative Legislature , might be fctrodnced pictures of incidents expressive of the chapter of theHouse of Commons , and the estimation in * iich it is held . For the first might be recom-Jeaded—the Speaker ordering the Sheriffs into con-Sfenjeni ; and the scene where Sir Robert \ V alpole * 4 Pnltenev having Iai 3 a wager about the

      correct-« ks of a Latin qnot&tion , smd the Speaker having ^ iied against the Minister , the Premier of Eng-M chucked the half-guinea across the House to the Mer of the Opposition , amid the breathless stten-* % of an admiring senate , The people's love for ^ r own-House might be expressed by a torch-fight T ^ of the soldiery mustered for its protection when 5 * is engaged in passing the Corn Law of 181 a .

" Dr .

The chairman , on putting it to tb . y meeting , ' commented . . ft .. forcible Hianaer upon the Bhanieful conduct of tho league party in Manchester , in countenrtnciu £ such conduct ; tho same feeling existed uuioag a similar party iu their own neighbourhood , but they were not powerful enough to exercise it .

      AX Adjovrxed Meeting cf electors was held at the Dr . Joinison Tavern , Bolt Court , Fleet-street , on Thursday , the 17 tb ,: at which there was a numerous attendance of influential individuals , for the purpose of forming the liberal electors of London into an Electoral Charter Association , Dr . Wads waa called to the chair . Mr . Wheeler , as secretary , read the minutes of the preceding -meeting , and the ansBTfil'S he had received from * ome of toe London M . P . ' av ? ho had been invited to attend . Dr . M'Douall moved the first resolution , ah < i explained that an Electoral Charter Association would stand in tho same position to the National as the present trades localities did . The resolution wai as follows : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that class legislation has givon rise to evils destructive of

      t ' ha best' interest of tho middle class ,-ana . oppressive aiul injurious to the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland ; tbafc the partial-extension of the suffrage , by the lleform Act , has created division and jealousy between two cla-ses who ought ' to ; lie united , that no cordial union can dr . ' ought' to be established-. between electors and non-electors , except upoa the broad and entire principles of the People ' s Charter ; and , therefore , this meeting is of opinion that it is the duty of all patriotic electors to form themselves into an Association in tiieir respective electoral diatricta , for the purpose « l procuring the speedy enactment of Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Quaiifieation , Equal Electoral Dbtricts , and Payment cf Meinber ? . Mr .

      Brown eecunuefl the resolution . He had on the previous meeting been opposed to it , thinking that it might raisti an association to run counter with bar own , but the third resoiutiou which thfty had heard read , obviated that objection . Mr . M'Leod supported tne resolution . He had ever endeavoured to promote the interests of the working classes ; he thought that instead of being ignoriint , their very position iu society gave them an advantage on the score of intelligence . It requ red more ability in a carpenter to make a table than it did in him , as a brewer , to sell a barrel or a butt of beer . He wished to see a friendly feeling exist between both classes . The resolution was then unanimously car .-i « ii . Air , Dron , in an abJe . manner moved the second resolution . As an elector , he had

      entertiiinod a prejudice -agaiust the Chartists , bat that entirely disappeared when he came to niix ampngst them , and to have a correct opinion of their real objects . He wascohvincHd tbia ' tv-bold also be the case with other electors . He moved , " Th : it it is the opinion of this meeting , that the grievances endured by the middle aid working ; classes can only bo safely andexpeditiously abolished , by the united aud peaceful efforts of both classes , and therefore the objects and end of an electoral Charter Association , shall be to cause a thorough knowledge of tbe principles of the People ' s Charter to be disseminated amongst tho Electors , for the purpurpose of creating public opinion in favour of that measure j and to secure the return to Parliament of Members advocating the entire principles of the

      People ' s Charter . " Mr . Pedley seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . liuft ' y Hit ) ley , "in an eloquent nsanner , moved the adoption of the third resolution . Ho looked with an eye of considerable jealousy upon tbe middle classes joining tbe movement , aud would not consent to the first resolution , unless this which he would read again should be Carried also , '' That it is tbo opinion of this meeting , the Electoral Charter Association can only establish a mutual conildeuco between electors and non-electors , by adopting the National Ps-tition , and procuring tiieir cards of membership ; from the Executive of the National Charter Association , which body consisting of live members , is elected by the Universal -Suffrage of tbe members of the Associution , holds -office ' . f ^ r one year , is

      paid for its services , and is responsible for all . its acts to the Chartist constituencies . " Mr . Ferrer seconded the resolution ; unless the middle class gave us this test of their sincerity , he would not endeavour to obtain their assistance as ari elector of Marylebone , and being" a member ot tbn Reform Association , and of the Parochial Committee , he had seen so much of the political insincerity of this class , that he would unite with them oil no other terms save those , contained in the resolution . Mr . Mungay , as a middle-class man , himself had no objection to the resolution , but he feared it would deter many from joining , . who , if they had the entire power of Beif-goverambut in their own districts , would Save no objection to enrol themselves as members . Mr . G . Hartwell would only consent to tbe first resolution by

      the third being carried . The body to which he belonged ( Maryiebone ) would be very jealous of any attempt to raise Up an opponent to the National Charter Association . Dr . M'Douali , in an able manner , defined the duties of the Executive , and showed that in local matters , every locality had the complete power of selfgovernment . Mr . J . Cleave ably addressed the meeting in support of the resolution . H « had but little ho ^ es of the ; shopkeepers stirring in this matter . Mr . Poizer supported the resolution . Mr . Swaine said that no person perhaps was better acquainted with the views of the electors , more " particiilarJy of the city , than he was , and he could assure '•; the meeting tbaV be could scarce get them to listen to him on the fcubject , he would advise them to stick to their

      Chaster and to rely entirely on their own energiea- ^ Dr . Wade bad no objection to tbe resolution ; he was ready to tike out his card . —{ The Dr . was speedUjr taxnished with an enamelled one , and bis name inserted in U by tor . M'poHaii . ) Some Doctors ^^ contented ttiein-r selves with riverely prescribing , but the iCbartist Poctprs it appeared were not content with that , but wisely took care to see that the medicine was speedily administered —( cUeers ) . Hfl trusted no one would , ef ter this , think that he was not zealous in the cause If be belonged to any other body which they conceived wo « ld militate agaixst this , be would give it Up , conceiving this to be of paramount importance .--Mr . Wheeler supported the resolution . If ihe electors took the cards of onr

      Executive , they would essentially become part or portion of our National Charter AflBodiatlon , and on that candltion poly would he be instrumental ia cementing an union . The third resolution was then ananimously . carried . A committee , consisting of Dr . Wade , Messrs . Mungay Fainreri Ridley , Dron , Ross ^ and Brown , with power to add to their number , -were appointed to collect subscripUous for tbe purpose of calling a large publio meet ing at the Crown and Anchor . The Secretary was instructed to report the proceedings and the correspondence in the NorUiern Star . A Tote of thanks was given to the Chairman . £ l , the expense of the room , was taiBed by a BubBcription , and the meeting -adjourned .

' - : ¦ ' - . ; / . ; ' V- " .-- - V- , : ¦;¦• : . * ¦ ¦ ¦' Fellow DKMpCRATS ,--An election for a member to sit in Parliament is anticipated in Brighton . Next in iraportahce t « the magniflcent plan of -Mr O'Brien for a National Election , by show of hands , of a House of representatives , is , we conceive , an ertort to return , by actual voting , Chartist representatives into the House of Commons . ., i That tbis is , and must be , an arduous task , ia indisputable . But reiterated attempts to effect this , even if they fail at first , will forcibly show the moral determination of the people to overturn the monstrous system now so tenaciously cluug to by the factions that hold us in domination . In Brighton we are resolved to make an effort of this kind , and no failures shall daunt our determination to renew and strengthen those efibrts . - * ¦¦ : ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ .. ¦ . *¦¦ . -. ¦ . - ¦ . ¦ ; " * ' . - " " •; ¦ - . - ;¦¦ . *"

      In the person of Mr . C . Bropker , of Alfriston , we have a faithful and untiring advocata of pure Radical principles , as set forth in the People ' s Charter j in this gentleman we possesa an advocate willing to stand forth , at every election ^ as the representative of our priiciples , and it is our conviction that we ought to spare no trouble , nor exertion , to maintain the position he has taken np op onr behalf . Bat we are not willing that that geritlemap , even if he were able and ready to do so , which he is not , should purchase the seat ; whatever success , may fall to his lot , we are hot willing that be should be at any personal sacrifice" in standing ^ forward as an advocate of pur principles . " Purity of Election" has become a byeword ; jt ia our duty—our principles demand it of us—to give to the phrase , - "" Purity of Election , " a substantial meaaing . It 1 b in this spirit that we make bold to appeal to all our Chartist brethren for pecuniary aid to assist ua in our object - .

      We conceive that the exertions we shall make , though local in some respects , are , in dUier points of view , purely NationaI ; we combat for ^^ the recognition and ., establishjnent of principles not simply local but national . If this be the case , we feel that we d » not wrougly in making a general appeal for pecuniary aid . " . ' . ¦ '* . * . ; ' >¦ ' ,.. ¦; . ;• . '•" . , [ -: ; . ; * * " * - ¦ : . - ¦ ' .
