FREEDOM OR SLAVERY.

Freedom, or Slavery, which will ye have ?
Englishmen, Frenchmen, reply !
Crouch to the Despot, or strike for the Brave,
, Valiantly cnnquer or die ?
Civilisation, Progress, and Art,
Liberty, Honour, and Right ;
From these, won by Freedom, we never will part,
For these we will shout in the fight !
Unsheath the sword, with hand on the heart,
Strike home and conquer the foe;
Let the Barbarian, the merciless smart,
And quail at the terrible blow.
Englishmen, Frenchmen, you've nobly begun
The Battle for Freedom and Right ;
Hand in hand, side by side, till the vict'ry's won
And Liberty blesses the sight !
Englishmen, Frenchmen, united at last ! -
There is much still to conquer and gain ;
Be brothers in future—smile at the past,
And Peace, Love, and Order, will reign.
The Patriot, the down-trodden Nations rejoice,
And hopefully look to the fight; •
Englishmen, Frenchmen, which is your choice
To be Slaves! or hare Freedom and Right?

ATTEMPTED MURDER Or A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—
Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, consider
able excitement was created in the immediate vicinity of
the Victoria Theatre, in consequence of a report being
raised that Mr. T. Grammer, the landlord] of the Pear •
Tree Tavern, had been fatally stabbed by a woman at
present unknown. Upon proceeding to the promises
the reporter was informed that a woman came to the bar
of the house, and after calling for some refreshment,
which she was served with, she tendered a sovereign for
the barman to take the amount out of. The correct
change was banded to her, but instead of her takinng
it away she attempted to "ring the changes," a d
said that she was one or two shillings short. A.

TREAT RAGGED SCHOOL CNILDREN.—Ott Tues.
nearly 400 children, attending the ragged
of the united parishes of St. Giles's and St.
Willesden,
were treated to an excursion to

spent the day in the fields adjoining the house se.

fortably seated in nine vans, and took their departure
from the school-house in George-street, St. Giles's, amid
the cheers of a large number of their parents and the in.
habitants of the neighbourhood. At Willesden they
were supplied with a good dinner and tea, and means of
amusement and exercise were provided for them in the
shape of bats, balls, swings, bows and arrows, donkey.

parishes, and several friends of the school, joined the
youthful throng, and helped on the amusements. The
expenses of the treat were defrayed by special' contribu•
tions, so as to avoid resorting to the funds of. the
school ; and, though sufficient funds have not been raised
to pay the whole of the expense incurred, the mansgora
trust—looking at the beneficial results likely to twin
from such a day's treat to children so circumstanced--
that there will be found, from those interested in the wel•
fare of the poor, aid sufficient to prevent the deficiency
