ATTEMPT TO AlunDEn.—The magistrates of St.
Alb.su's have been engaged the fat few days investi.
ga!ng a most diabolical attempt to murder a policeman
in toe neighbourhood of Harpenden, a
A Mr. Davies, a farmer, having lOntsieeTwerTilih'fsowdilastan, ha..
desired the police-officer, Richmond, stationed in the
neighbourhood, to watch his premises, and on Tuesday
night he heard voices whispering in an adjoining lane,
and a fluttering of fowls in the farm sheds. The men in
the lane, on seeing the constable, ran away, having pre-
viously given a signal to the persons who were MUT-
wards found on the farm premises. Richmond rushed
into the farm, and, turning his light on, saw three men
taking the fowls from their roosts. The officer drew his
cutlass, and stationing himself in a door through which
they would have to pass, desired them to surrender.
They instantly made a fierce attack upon him, and in
the struggle the prisoner Jenning and the other two got
past him, and apparently fearing that he would follow
them, Jenning levelled a pistol at him and fired. Pro-
videntially it missed him, the ball striking against the
brickwork. The whole of the men returned to the
place, and proceeded to maltreat the policeman in a
most shocking manner by beating and jumping on his
body. They then decamped, and the constable having
recovered to a slight extent, he contrived to crawl to
the dwelling and alarm the inmates. Raving given his
brother officers the necessary information of the affray,
a man named Richard Jenning was apprehended near
St. Alban's on the following day, and a cut, as if from a
cutlass, two or three inches in length, was found on his
arm. The magistrates remanded the prisoner, so as to
give the police an opportunity of catching the other
ruffians.

SMALL TENEMENTS.—Yoterday was printed the
Bill as amended by the Commit4ee, respecting the rating
of small tenements. As it now stands, 61. tenement& are
to be rated to the owners in respec; of poor-rate* sad
highway rates, instead of to the occupiers.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A lamentable OMIT..
rence took place iu the family of Mr. Walter Pauli, of
liighgrove, near Tetbury, on Wednesday evening. Mr.
Patil gave a ball and soiree previous to his son Captain
Paul, leaving home to join his regiment. At about nine
o'clock Miss Paul retired from the ball-room, having an
attack of tic douleureux; she proceeded upstairs to her
own room. It is supposed that she fainted as she pro-
ceeded from one room to the other, the lighted candle
fell from her hand, and her dress, being composed of
white lace, rapidly ignited, and the young lady was in-
stantly enveloped in flames. She endeavoured to ex-
tinguish the fire by throwing a basin of water over her-
self, and her screams alarmed the attendants; but we are
sorry to say that before their efforts could subdue the
flames she was so severely burnt as to leave but faint
hopes of her recovery. We have lately received the
following additional particulars from a correspondent;
—About 11 o'clock on Sunday last she ceasod to live.—
Standard.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday morning a
genrral parade of the troops took place at Mount Wise,
consisting of the Royal Artillery, under the command
of Captain Shuttle-worth, the 28th Regiment, under
Major Adams and Major Wheeler, the Royal Marines,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Wearing, and the 82d Regi-
ment under Major Slater. In the absence of the Major-
General, the Hon. 1.1. Murray, the command of the
garrison devolves at present on Colonel Holloway, R.E.
The regiments formed square, o❑ the Parade, and Cor-
poral Francis Ryan, of the 82d Regiment, who bad been
previously tried by general court-martial, for drunken-
ness and drawing his bayonet on a picquet, was brought
forward, and the confirmed sentence of the court was
read. lie was found guilty on all the charges, and sen-
tenced to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private
soldier, and to undergo twelve months' imprisonment in
the military gaol. The troops having marched past in
quick time, returned to the barracks.—Plymouth Journal.
A MAYOR IN TROUBLE.—The Journal de rAisne
relates the following story, which, it says, will form
strong argument iu favour of the new law relative to
mayors:—A person in a commune in that department,
who was the only grower of hemp in that district, find-
ing that his property was frequently stolen, stationed
himself, with some of his children, in a small building
near the grounds in order to detect the thieves. On the
night of the 9th inst. he perceived four persons advancing
towards the place. Two men immediately began to cut
and tie up some of the hemp, whilst two women kept
watch. The owner of the property, wishing to show the
robbers that he was armed, fired a gun into the air, and
then fell on the two men, at the same time uttering loud
cries in order to bring assistance. The thieves turned
out to he the mayor of the commune and his son, and
the women, who had immediately taken to flight, were
his two daughters. The men confessed that they had
robbed the hemp grounds an two previous occasions.
The mayor, it is said, has taken-to flight.
John O'Grady, a wealthy farmer in the county of
Limerick, has been convicted for the murder of his wile
and maid-servant on the Ist of November, 1846, and
sentenced to be executed. The murder was particularly
remarkable for the total absence of all apparent provo-
cation. The prisoner first murdered the servant in the
stable by stabbing her with a bayonet fixed on a stick,
and then killed his wife by discharging two pistols at her
while she was in bed. The defence was temporary
aberration of mind, but this was not sustained by any
evidence. Mathew and William Gavin were convicted

at the same USSiZt)S for the murder of John Ryan, at
Coppamore, and sentenced along with O'Grady to be
executed on the 10th of next month.

WuOLESALE AND RETAIL PRICERS OF FLOUR.
—The Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester
Gualdian says—" The Niagara steamer, which sailed
on Saturday, carries out accounts of a decline of
Is. 6d. per barrel on American flour, the best old
Western Canal having been sold as low as 21s. per barrel
of 1961b5. ; and new as low as 18s.—the highest price
of our market is now about lid. per lb.; and here allo w
me again to allude to the continued discrepancy between
wholesale and retail prices. I believe it will be
found that the retail price of flour in the bread shops
of Lancashire is twopence the lb, or 6 lbs. for 6 shilling,
which is equal to 325. 6d. the barrel of 196 lbs.,
and this generally for a mixed description. The
present low prices can hardly be taken as *
fair average, but 255. is as high as the article cau be
expected to rule in years of plenty. As to the United
States, prices have ruled lower there than now, as the
following figures will show; but we must bear in
mind there the population increases, perhaps in a
greater ratio than their means of production:—Ave-
rage prices of wheat, 601bs. to bushel, 1840, 1 dollar;
1841, 94c. ; 1842, 1 dollar ; i 43, 75c. ; 1844, 89c. ;
1845, 86c. ; 1846, 1.04 ; 1847, 1.33 ; 1848, 1.19
dolls. The nine years give an average of 1 doll, per
bushel, or 713. a bushel lower than present prices in
New York, 1.15 dolls. Seeing, therefore, the little
chancu there is of any considerable change, it is most
desirable that retail prices should approximate to whole-
sale ones, thereby not only increasing the conNumption,
but contributing most extensively to the comforts of the
people."
A JEWISH MIATTR.—It is our painful duty to
record a case of martyrdom which but recently occurred
in the empire of Morocco. We give the awful details
from a private letter which we have seen, received by
Mr. Abraham Sebag, a respectable Jewish merchant, re-
siding in Castle-street, St. Mary-axe, London, whose
brother bas fallen a victim to the barbarity of the in-
habitants of that uncivilized country. It appears that
Judah Sebag, a Jewish merchant, who resided in a town
called Alig, near Mogador, was maliciously accused of
having spoken blasphemy against the Mohammedan
faith. The cause of this malice was the jealousy of
some Mohammedan merchants. He was dragged before
the governor, or, rather, the chief magistrate of the city,
whose name is Lcchnsman ben Hassam. The evidence
against him having been heard, the sentence of the judge
was, that he either must embrace Mohammedanism, or
be turned to death. Judah Sebag indignantly refused
to deny his religion, and nobly chose the alternative—
death. The
.governor immediately ordered a large fire
t) be made, into which the man was thrown, and soon
devoured by the flames, lie was but twenty-four years
of age. The letter concludes with the following words
of consolation :—" Ile died for the glory and sanctifica-
tion of his faith and his God, and may his soul be bound
up in the bundle of life."—Jewisk Chronicle.

A JEW ELECTED AS REPRESENTATIVE FOR HAY-
ISCRGH IN TIIE ER7I7RT PARLIAMENT.—We are in.
t:ebted to a correspondent for the following information
received from llamburgh, dated the 16th inst..—The
election of a representative for this city to the German
parliament now assembled at Erfurt has been decided,
the choice of the electors having unanimously fallen on
Dr. Gabriel Riesser, the champion of Jewish emancipa-
tion in Germany, who has agitated this question for 20
years, and has now seen it nearly universally carried
s,aernitiata thent
;
e
by •
out. It is a remarkable fact, that it is scarcely twelve
months since the Ihmburgh Jews have acquired the full
the native
Jew
German is i
ei tiir
zen sh ip, and now a
representative to
but this election is quite in honour of the man and his
riigtyht as of
the
great principles. lie was last year in the Frankfurt
Parliament, as member for the dukedom of Lauenburg,
and for some time its vice•president; he filled the chair
during a long absence of the president in the most
critical period, and was one of the delegates to Berlin
to offer the imperial crown to the Kingamburg of Prussia. Dr.
the
Gabriel Riesser is a warden of 1:1 h Jewish
congregetion.—Jewish Chronicle.
A CLEVER TRICK..—Larly one morning about a
fortnight since a boat was rowed under the Hoe, when
the crew hoisted out a chest, not unlike one of those
4. last mansions of mortality," yclept coffins. Some of
them proceeded with it towards the town, when a by-
stander--and, rumour states, attired not unlike a pre-
ventive man—was asked, Which is the way to the
burying-ground in Westwell-street ?" The bystanders,
like the Quaker, answered the question by asking an-
other, " What have you got there ?" The reply was,
" Oh, one of our shipmates is gone off, and we are going
to bury him !" The road to the burying-ground was
then pointed out; but by a dodge the chest was taken to
the rail Way station in time for the early train, and in a
few brief hours the chest was " far north." Those vat,
laugh most at the hoax, say the chest was full of cigars,
eye, real Havannahs!—Plymouth Journal.
FOREIGN FISII—Some very large arrivals of fish,
of foreign taking, the production of the Dutch rivers and
the North Sea, of various kinds, are at the present time
taking place from Rotterdam, amounting, M some ili•
SWIM, to several hundred packages.
