LONDON,'

determination of Alderman SALoMONS will now
render legislation necessary. Whatever may be the
opinion respecting the admissibility of Jews
to Parliament, there is no nobleman or gentleman
who could desire to impose such fearful penalties on
the chivalrous defender of his rights, who merely
raised an important legal question. The topic is not
one merely relating to the Jews, but one in which
every friend of civil and religious liberty is interested,
and to the expenses of which all should contribute.

SERIOVS ACCIDENT TO MRS. COLONEL WYLDE.—
The lady of Lieutenant-Colonel Wylde, R.H.A., one of the
Grooms of the Bedchamber to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, is at present confined to her room from the effects of
a severe accident she suffered whilst out walking one day in
the latter part of the week. From what can be ascertained
it appears that she was leaving the shop of a tradesman at
the west end of the town, and when just on the door-step
turned suddenly round to recognise an acquaintance, who
was passing down the street at the time, when something
twisted in the leg, which rendering her incapable of walk-
ing, she was obliged to be brought home to her residence,
in Eaton-place South, in a conveyance, and on medical
attendance arriving it was found that several of the larger
tendons were violently strained, which will oblige her to re-
main at home for a short time, but she is progressing fa-
vourably under the circumstances.
THE TEaIPLE, Aram 17.—The aftermentioned
members of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple were
called to the degree of Barristers• at-Law this evening :
Edmund Burke Wood, Esq., Richard Denny tirling, Esq.,
and Arthur Thomas Godfrey, Esq.
FATAL OMABIIS ACCIDENT.—Yesterday after-
noon. Mrs. Mary Prior, widow, aged 72 years, who resided
at No. 19, Greville-street, Hatton-garden, expired in the
accident ward of King's College Hospital, from injuries re-
ceived under the following circumstances :—lt appears the
deceased was crossing the road opposite Gray's Inn-lane,
when the driver of an omnibus called out to her, but as she
continued her course, it is supposed that the deceased did
not hear him, the consequence being, that before he had
time to pull up, the horses knocked her down, and the wheels
of the omnibus passed over her. She was instantly picked
up, and conveyed to the above hospital, where Mr. E. Law-
son, the house-surgeon, was promptly in attendance, and
rendered every assistance till death terminated her sufferings.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT FENNING'S WHARF.
Last evening, shortly before seven o'clock, an accident
attended with serious consequences happened to a man
named William Murphy, aged 32 years, while at work at
Fenning's-wharf, Tooley-street, Southwark. It appears
that the unfortunate man was walking across one of the
upper floors of the warehouse, when he by some means fell
down an opening on to the stone pavement below, by which
means he sustained very extensive injury to the head, of
such a fearful character that no hopes are given of his re-
covery. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where
Mr. F. W. Tabois, the principal dresser, rendered every
assistance, but last night, at nine o'clock, the poor man was
totally insensible, and sinking fast from effusion of blood to
the head, and concussion of the brain. Mr. Tabois was in
constant attendance upon the injured man, who has also been
seen by Mr. M'Murdo, one of the senior officers of the insti-
tution.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.—BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY
Last evening, about six o'clock, a man named John Mitche
a joiner, living at Winson-green, near the new gaol in this
borough, shot his wife. He had been drinking in an adjoin-
ing public-house, and left to go home. Mitchell had not
been away many minutes when the report of a gun was
heard, and he presently returned to the public-house, saying
" I have done it On inquiry it was ascertained that some
dispute arose between himself and his wife, whereupon he
took up a loaded gun and shot her on one side of the head
and face. Surgical assistance was speedily obtained, and

before a magistrate this morning, and Mitchell was remanded

THE LIGHTSHIP AT SANDY HOOK, NEAR NEW
Yoss.—The keeper of the floating light off Sandy Hook
makes the following report of vessels for the first three
months of 1852 :—" Passed in—steamships, 113 ; ships, 319 ;
barques, 956 ; brigs, 329 ; schooners, 958. Passed out—
steam-ships, 154 ; ships, 311 ; barques, 363; brigs, 432 ;
schooners, 1,131." He says the severity of the weather has
exceeded anything he has experienced for many years.
" During the coldest of the weather there Were periods when
scarcely any portion of the exterior of the ship could be dis-
cerned, she being completely covered with ice from her mast-
head to the water's edge; and at one time, although six
miles at sea, ws were so completely surrounded and hemmed
in, that the crew were enabled to walk for half a mile around
the ship on the ice—a circumstance, I believe, unprecedented
at this station. Some of the gales during the winter have,
indeed, been terrific."
The accounts of the country trade during the past
week show general steadiness, with a tendency in moat
cases to improvement. At Manchester there has been a
satisfactory business, the market having benefited by the
last advices from India and China. At Birmingham, not-
withstanding the interruption caused by the Easter holidays,
there has been continued activity in most branches of ma-
nufacture, and it is remarked that the beneficial effects of the
Great Exhibition are still unequivocally manifested in the
orders received. In the iron markets prices are well main-
tained and holders exhibit firmness. From Nottingham the
report states as increase in the home demand and a good
supply of foreign orders. Some recent fires in the United
States have destroyed considerable stocks of hosiery and
lace, which will have to be replaced. In the woollen districts
the reviving :tendency of the last few weeks has been un-
checked. The Irish linen trade is without alteration.
IMPoRTATION or WHEAT' &c.—A return, ob-
tained by Lord Naas, was yesterday printed, showing, for
the third and fourth quarters of the year 1851, the importa-
tion of wheat, barley, and oats. It appears that in the
third quarter of last year, of wheat there were 1,174,457
quarters imported, and in the last quarter of the year
434,800 quarters. Of wheat flour (actual weight) there
were 1,747,499 quarters in the third quarter, and 868,647
quarters in the fourth. Of wheat flour (reduced to its
equivalent in quarters of wheat) the importations in the
tnird quarter were 499,285 quarters, and in the fourth quarter
248,185. The aggregate of wheat and wheat flour in the
third quarter was 1,673,473 quarters, and in the fourth
quarter of the year 682,985 quarters. The barley imported
in the third quarter numbered 20,095 quarters, and in the
fourth 78,923 ; whilst of oats there were 581,466 quarters
imported in the third quarter, and 126,818 in the fourth
quarter of the year.
SUPPOSED SUlClDE.—Yesterday the dead body of
a man was found in the Thames off East Greenwich. He
was apparently between 50 and GO years of age, stout build,
and had grey hair. On him were found a black stuff bag, a
tape measure, a pair of steel spectacles, lbc. He was dressed
in a blue frock coat, green plaid waistcoat, mixed Tweed
trousers, black hat, and Wellington boots. The body was
removed to the dead-house of Greenwich old church, to
await an inquest, and for identification.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon, between
five and six o'clock, a woman named Mary Ann Beale, aged
40, who resided with her husband at No. 33, Charles-street,
Drury-lane, while taking tea, was seized with a fit of in-
voluntary laughter, and immediately expired. She was ap-
parently in robust health for some time previously, but Mr.
W. Bennett, surgeon, expresses an opinion that death must
have been occasioned by disease of the heart.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT MILLOM.—An inquest
was held at Kirksanton, on Monday last, before Mr. J. P.
Myers, deputy coroner, on the body of John Steel, of that
place, labourer. From the evidence produced before the
jury it appeared that deceased and a fellow servant in the
employ of Mr. Benn, of Hestham, were, about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, harrowing together in a field each with a pair
of horses, when one of the men of a sudden heard a great
noise among the chains of his fellow labourer's horses, and
on looking round saw them just breaking away from the
harrow, with deceased between them, and going at a
furious rate. The deceased had not run with them more
than 100 yards when he was thrown down and dragged by
one of the tracing chains a considerable distance. On seeing
the situation in which deceased was placed his companion
stopped the horses as soon as he possibly could, when he
found deceased had been dragged by the thigh with the tracing
chain, which had apparently been suddenly twisted round it
and had penetrated to the bone and made an awful incision.
Deceased, sensible at the time, drew the hook out of his
thigh himself. The wound bled very copiously. Deceased
was immediately removed home, and a surgeon sent for, but
life departed just as the surgeon arrived, the man having
survived the accident only three hours. He was a sober, in-
dustrious man, and has left a widow (who has been nearly in-
sensible ever since), with five children, quite destitute.—

AYLESBURY, APRIL 20.—The Conservative meet-
ing which was held at the George Hotel on Friday last, for
the purpose of moving a vote of confidence in her Majesty's
Ministers, was a complete failure. It was very thinly at-
tended, and none of the leading gentlemen of the county
were present. Mr. Bethell, it is understood, will not offer
himself again for the borough of Aylesbury. There are at
present two candidates in the field—Dr. Layard, who offers
himself on Liberal principles, and Captain Temple West, a
Protectionist. Colonel Harmer is also spoken of. Although
Dr. Leet has issued an address, offering to come forward for
the county whenever a dissolution takes place, it is doubtful
whether the learned civilian wilt go to the poll.
CONVERSION AND RECANTATION OF A ROMAN CA-
THOLIC PRIEST.—An interesting ceremony was witnessed on
the morning of Easter Sunday, in the French Protestant
Church of London, situate in St. Martin's-le-Grand. This
was the public recantation of a French Roman Catholic
priest (the name of the party being, for obvious reasons, sup-
pressed), who, having formally renounced the errors, here-
sies, corruptions, and superstitions of the Church of Rome,
and embraced the pure faith of the Gospel of Christ, was ad-
mitted a member of the French Protestant Church, and af-
terwards partook of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to-
gether with the rest of the congregation. The ceremony of
admission took place at the close of the morning service, the
Rev. G. G. Daugars officiating on the occasion.
