Ths tragedy has been perpetrated by a ma _ n named Peter AVh ' ittle , a spinner , reaidiug at , No , 6 , Vicar-Etrset , on -the body of his wife . It appears that they gat down to dinner , whichwas dispatched without anything remarkablo ; but , upon her rising to go to work at the fa , ctory , she was called back by herhusband , who joined her inthe lobby of the hosse , and while pretending to give her a kiss or an embrace , out her throat deeply with a razor , which he had

      concealed m his hand . The soreamg of the poor woman called around the assistance of the neighbours , who , on entering the house , found that the murderer had attempted suicide by inflicting a similar wound upon himself . The woman expired almost immediately , the wound being across the jugular vein . Whittle 13 Btill alive , but doubts are entertained of his recovery . As yet no inquest has been held . The murderer is supposed to have beon actuated by some jealous notions j bui various rumours are afloat relative to the occurrence . —Liverpool Albion .

      enabled-, to prevent the ¦ ¦ thordujrhfare from-being wholly impeded . 1 ho crowd were asaembled chitfty in front of No . 15 , whore several of the police worn parading , and who it was alleged were desirous to effict an entrance into the house , wherein it was said was a female with , three children , whom she . wa- supposed-to have murdered , as tliey h ; id not been seer , since Friday la ? t . Various other rumours of a similar kind were freel y circulated , but all appeared conjecture ., as the police preserved the most imperturbable silouce . Tlio following particulars were , however , obtained from a source which , may be relied 011 : —Some y curs since a certain Scotch nobleman formed an intimate acquaintance with a female , by whom he had three children ; at his death ,

      which happened about sis years since , ho left by will in th'j _ oltkst child , a girl ( nc-. y . ibe-ut ten years of age ) , £ 70 , 000 pev atiinim ; and to the trro younger children he . left £ 30 , 000 a year each ; and to the mother £ 20 , 000 a year . His brother , who now enjoys the title , wa- > appointed to carry tho provisions of the will into effect , and to Fee to the education and proper caro of the children , who ware to be under the guardianship of thy mother whilo sho remained unmarried , and conformed to certain other regulaluvns , but some of which it appears she had infracted ; a knowledge of which having reached the : bars 01 the surviving brother , the nobleman allutkd to , application v / as" iHiide to / the Lord Advocate of Scotland , by whom a warrant was ishued somo mouths sinca to remove the children-from the custody of the rcother , who then lived in the neighbourhood of : Glasgow ; she , however , fbd up to London , and up to ' 'last

      Iriday has contiivcd to seclude hevself ; bv \ t thvouuh the activity of an iFiSpector of the . . A . division , nor retreat has been discovered , and constables have been directed to watch the premises cciitiuually , so that tb . o cl : iii 3 ren should not be again removed until an appTfeation bhou'd have been m ' ado . -to tho Lord Chancellor . This has been deemed an aniioyanca by . tho . mother of the ohildren , and on Saturday nisbt sho presonteu ' - pistols at tho police , and declared that &he would n ' ro at any person who attempted to enter the nouso . Every window is kepi closed , and the doors bolted , and leitsrs and provisions are drawn up by a cord to the first-noor window , from whence all applications and messages are answered . It is expected that a warrant from the Lord-Chancellor will be obtained ,-when a forcible entrance will be effected ; but from the determined spirit " evinced .. by the mother , it is feared . that the affair will not terminate without bloodshed . — " -Times .

      F _ We have made inquiries into the circumstances of the above extraordinaryand rowiinlh story , and [ find it to bo correct in all its leading features . The state of Paradise-street continues to be as here represented , numbers of persons crowding the thoroughfare , and tomo of them ( boys in particular ) behaving in ratiur a riotoui manner . It is represented th& 5 the polico ' iu . di . SKuiaa-ar . a so . narrowly walching the house , that it is irapossible any one can enter or leave it without their cognizance . But- duriug the great or part of the day , no police-constable , ostensible such at least , was present ; which , considering tho excitement winch prevailed , reflects discredit . ' on their arrangements ; for some of the loungers amused themselves by throwing stones at the doors and

      windows , aiul one of the latter was broken—an annoyance which the inmates surely ought not to be subjected to , and from which it was the divty of the police to protect them . It is stated that Thursday is the day which has been fixed for making a forcible entry into the premises , by persons armed with the authority of the lord chancellor ; but this is somewhat questionable . In the meantime , the Biege is obstinately sustained against the vigilance of the besiegers by the mother and friends of the children in question . The house , which has thus become an object of so much ¦" interest , " is one ( No . 15 ) of the new portion of the street , and is easily distinguished

      from the others by the closely-shoS appearance it presents , for every blind is drawn down in the upstairs rooms , and on thp lower stories , the shutters are barred up .

It consisted of thKO arches , the first being thrown over the road leading to Goggestoall , tbe second over tiie i-iver , and tiie : third ' ' joined up to the embankment at tiie Colchester end . The centra of the first arch was fitruofe last week , and the road under it had been thrown open to the public . 'Xhe clearing of taa timber feom the other sirefiea was completed on ilonday ; aad a gieat number of bricklayers had been employed tbroagUout

      tuis week in ' carrying up the parapets . The rails had been laid down , and the : earth waggons ; were worked overifc , to carry on the embankmeat at the east end . Oa Thursday morning there vai& altogether .: about twenty men employed upon it , -when , about ten o ' clcek , the whole suddenly came down with a crash which sounded to : the inbabitanta ef Kelvetlon lifee a ceavy peal- of thuncler . Fifteen or sixteen bricklayers who were npon the scaffolding , werehuried , witfa the bricks , tim ' , and earth , in all ( iirections , some of them falling into tee river ; but , fortunately , they appear to have escaped with only a few bruises and laceratione . Afc

      the morueiit of the fall , however , a man ; 'named Thos . Eisly , a ' tipper' on the embankment , waa standing behind ' , a . loaded earth--wastgon 1 at the edge ^ of the loflt arch , and was consequently carried down in the fall , the earth-waggon falling on him , crushing and partially burying him in the rubbish . ; As soon as the cocfusion consequent upon the alarm of the terrific crash had subsided , prompt assistance was' rendered to extricate him , but he was quite dead . Another mail , aa aged labourer , was got -. out from the masa of rubbish , and was found to have one of his legs dreadfully crashed ; but prompt medical assistance being rendered it is hoped he may survive . . - ¦ ¦ v' ^' - ' ^ r b

      For come time it -was feaTed that several other persons had perisod , but the workmen were assembled , and it was found this was not the ca 8 e . _ ¦ A bricklayer , named Wright , had an almost muacutdus ' escape from destruction .
