      « 'Britons , exert the influence you possess ' . Call forth the potent powers of the P&ESS ! £ rtend the Polplfc ' s all-subduing aid ! And from the Stnate speak out undismayed . ' ' Banish intemperance!— -whose destructive breath - Spreads crime , and -want , and -wretchedness , and death ; Blighting life ' s prospects -with despotic svray , Iilskirg man ' s highest interest its prey ; ° Obey this mandate , co" * srdB may stand aloof , But bring ye virtuous actions to the proof ; By all that ' s just and true , sublime and brave , Your strength combine a sinking land to save .

      THE PEOPLE SHALL HATE THEIR OWN AGAIN .

Then gla < 5 sorae wss the scund as tee yule went roundj Of the EOPg and the glee at Christmas time ; And happy as the say were our firesides gay , For tiie rich thought the mirth of the poor no crime .

      Xfeieo coats had we then to threaten honest men , Bet the people guarded their homeste&dz free ; And their challenge was , woe to the tyrcut or foe , Who faxes ' set foot on our isle of the aea . All 1 those ware happy times , the old village ehimes Beat time to the thrill of the people ' s joy ; And the proad 3 ritkh name , was upheld with fame , By tha class our rulers would now destroy . "We'll cave the irosehisa back , in spits of gaol and rack , Or our prcc-1 oppressors no rest stall gain ; For own they murt , they know it is but just , That the people should have their own again .

      Mubdeb and Sdicide at Preston . —A melaacholy occurrence took place on Saturday afternoon , at Preston . The tragedy has been perpetrated by a ma _ n named Peter . Whittle , a spinner , residiux at . No , 6 , Vicar- ' Etmt , on the body of his wife . It '¦' appears that they sat down to dinner , which was dispatchod without anything remarkablo ; but , upon hsr ristHg to go to work at the factory , she was called back by herhusband , who joined her in the lobby of the house , and while pretending to give her a kiss or an embrace , out her throat deeply with a razor , which he had

      concealed ia hiB hand . The screams of the poor woman called around the assistance of the neighbours , who , on entering the house , found thai the murderer had attempted euicidft by inflicting a similar wound upon himself . The woman expired almost immediately , the wound being across the jugular vein . Whittle 13 still alive , but doubt $ are entertained of his recovery . As yet no inquest has been held . The murderer is supposed to have beon actuated by some joatoua notions j but ; various rumours are afloat relative to the occurrence . —Liverpool Alt / ion .

      The Queen ' s Hounds and the -Queen's Subjects . — -O 11 Friday forenoon considerable excitement was occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of HammerKajith , by the circulation of a report that a feinale child , a , bout fivo years of age , while passing along the high road near to the Broadway at Hammersmith , had been attacked by a number of her Majesty ' s buck-hounds , and nearly torn to pieces b ? fore tho could be rescusd from them . From enqur ; es made on the spot , it appears that tha report waq considerably -exaggerated . - . although- 15 is true that such an occurrence took pla « e . The particulars are as follows : —About , ten o'clock , as one of .-the assistants to Mr . Davies , the Queen's huntsman , was proceeding-to town for the purpose of conveying a

      pack of buck-hpiiwds ( fifteen coiiple ?) from the royal kennel at Windsor to tiio premises of ilr . Tattei-oall , in Grosvenor fplace , . preparatory- to their'being sent off to America , while passing abng tho road neat Hammersmith Broadway , a child , named Ann Stamson , about tive years of uy , o , the daughter of ti . 'labouring . ina . ii residing-at 3 , Union-street , Broad way , was run against by one of the . couples and thrown down , when the ferocious animals --instantly attacked the jpoor child , one fastening on the upprr lip , n :: d the other on the back of her thigh - Tho huntsman , on hearing cries , instantly went to her rescue , and in driving off the dogs was severely bitten by one of them in the hand . The pi > or child was then carried , covered with blood , to t ie sarg' -ry of Massrs . Bowling and Pickering , in Kin < r-B"reet , and after its wounds had been dressed

      it was conveyed to the residence of its-parents . Th' ) huntsman , however , regardless of tho accident , proceeded on hiH n iii . rso on his way towar . d ' s town ; aud whfn called to say , ho said tho hounds belonged to thfl Queen , an ^ i it was at the peril of any ono to stop him . The mother of the child applied to Mr . Clive , tho mas ^ istra'c , to know iiow i ? he was to be recompensed for the injury done to the child aad to her c ?< tthci , which had been much torn by the hounds . Mr . Clive said he did not 8 eo how he could interfere in the ca ? e beyond .. granting , a summons against the man who iia « i charge of tho hounds t ' oi' suffi-riiig ferocious «* o # ' to ba at JaJ- ^ o witJ / ont a muzzle , but ho thought it would bo bettor perhaps for rhe parties to communicate first with Mr .

      which happened about six years sfuce , ho left by will lr > t ) io _ oldest cliilrj , a girl ( no : v . about ten years of age ) , j £ 70 , 000 per anuum ; aud to the two younger children he left £ 30 , 000 a year each ; and to the mother £ 20 , 000 a year . His brother , whouow enjoys the title , wa- > appotuted to carry tlio provisions of the will into offset , and to Pee to the education and proper caro of tho children , who ware to be under the guardianship of thy mother while sho remained unmarried , and conformed to ccrtaiu other regulatijtns , but some of which it appears she had infracted ; a knowledge of which- having reached the oars of the . surviving brother , the nobleman alluded to , application was'W . 'jiile to the Lard Advocate of Scotland , by whom a warrant was ishiied some ' months since to remove the children from the custody cf the irother , who then lived in the neighbourhood of Glasgow ; she , however , ibd up to London , and up to last

      Iriday has cout . iivcd to seclude herself ; -but through the activity of an iBs-peetor ' -pf the A division , her retreat has been discovered , and constables have been directed to watch the premises ccntinually , eo that 4 !' . o -cLiidren' . should not be . again removed until iiri app-fnation &hou ? d have been mado to tho Lord Chancellor . This has been deemed an annoyance by the mother of ihe chiMren , and on Saturday night she presented pi £ ' . ols at tho police , and declared that &he would fire at any person who attempted to enter the houso . Every window is kept closed , and the doors bolted , and leitsrs and provisions are dra , wn up by a cord to the first-floor window , from whence all applications and messages are answered . It is expected that a warrant from the Lord Chatsecilor will be obtained , wheu a forciblo entrance will be effected ; but from the determined spirit ' evinced . by . the Jiiother , it is feared . that the affair will not termr-nato wiEhout bloodshed . — -Tim ? . ? .

      [ We have made inquiries into the circumstances of the above extraordinary and roftjanticstory , and find it to bp correct in all its leading features . The state of Paradise-street continues to be as here represented , numbers of persons crowding the thoreughfare , and mma of them ( boys in particular ) behayiug in ratlur a riotouj manner . It is represented that , the police ' iu . disguise-ara so narrowly walching tho house , that ' it is impossible any one can enter or leave it without their cognizance . But- duriug the greater part of the day , no polico-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 , and one of the latter wa 9 broken—aa annoyance which the inmates surely ought not to be subjected to , and from which it was the dvvty 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 siege is obstinately sustained against the vigilance of the besiegers by the mother and frieads of the children in question . The house , which has thus become an objcot of so much ¦ " interest , " is one ( No . 15 ) of the

      new portion of the street , and is easily distinguished frotn the others by the cloaely-sbut appearance it present ? , for every blind is drawn down in the upaiairs rooms , and on tho lower stories * the shutters are barred up . Theenormous amount of property left , to tho children isisai'd not to be exaggerated . ]—Globe The excitement in Paradise-Etreet still continues , although the police haye discontinued parading m front of the house No . 15 . Crowds , however , still continue to assemble , chiefly women and boys , who are occasionally addressed from , the drawing-room windoW 3 by a person who declares horselt tho mother of the children , and by a man who calls himself the grandfather ; the gist of their harangues

      is principally an appeal for proteotiori , and soliciting interferenca to prevent the children from be ^ g forcibly separated from the mother , while bitser invectives are occasionally launclied against , the Eari ' of ¦ Buchan and his son for the part they ara alleged to be taking in this snpposed aanoyaucoi The doors , windows , < feo . i are kept firmly olosed , and several of the police in private clothes continue iu view of tHo house .

      FALL OF A . RIILWAY BRTDiSE AT KELVEDON AND LOSS OF LIFE . On Thursday morning ,: a fearful accident occurred on the works of the Eastern Counties Railway , at Kelvedon , in the fall of a stupendous bridge , whicb ym verynear completion , occasioning the loss of one life and injuring six other persons . ' : ¦ . ' ¦ Tile bridge in question was _ 8 ituated on the noith . side of the high road at the east end of KeWedon . It consisted of thKO aiches , the fltsfc being thrown over the road leading to Goggeshall , the second ovev the iiver , and the tidrd joined up to the emhsmkmsat at ihe Colehester-end . The centre of the firafc arch was etruofe last week , and the road andei it had been thro-wn open to the public , 'file clearing of U » timber feom the other .. arc&es waa completad on Moatiay ; aad a great number of bricklayers had been employed throughout

      this week in carrying up the parapets . The rails , had been laid down , and the ; earth waggons . were worked overifc , to carry on the embankment a £ the east end . Ou Thuisday morning there were altogether about twenty men employed upon / it , when , about ten o ' clcek , the whole suddenly came dewn with a crash which sounded to the 1 inbabitanta « f Kelvetlon like a heavy peal of thunder . Fifteen or sixteen bricklayers who weie npon the scaffolding , -werehuried , 'Witfa the bricks , timber , and earth , in all ( iirections , some of them falling into the river ; but , fortunately , they appear to have escaped with only a few bruises and lacerations . Afe

      the moment of the fall , however , a man , named Thos . Elsiy , a ' tipper on the embankment , was standing behind ' , a loaded earth-waggon , at tae edge of the lost arch , and was consequently carried down in tiie fall , the earth-waggon falling on him , crushing and partially butying him in the rubbish . ; Aa soon as the confusion consequent upon the alarm ' . of-the terrific crash had subsided , prompt assistance was' rendered to extricate him , but he was quite dead * Another roan , an aged labourer , waa got outfrom the mass of rnbbifih , and ^ as found to have one of his legs dreadfuBy crushed ; but prompt medical assistance being rendered it ia hoped he muy survive . >¦ ; .
