THE TRIAL OF MULLER.

The cars of the primmer will be placed on the judge's list
for trial on Thursday (tomorrow) morning, and no speci►l
application will be made upon the subject. It is not yet
known whether the prisoner's legal advisers will elect to be
tried by a jury partly composed of foreigners or by an
English jury, but a number of foreign gentlemen will be
summoned to attend in ease the services of a foreign jury
should be required. It is thought to be most probable that
the prisoner will be tried by a partly foreign jury.

Mr. Rudd Pastas, Q.C., who is spatially retained to pro.
mute with Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Seeley in this ease, applied
to the court to postpone the trial to some special day.
Serjeant Ballantine, who is especially retained for the
&hook with Mr. Oppenlieim sod Mr. M. Williama, said the
amp was one of a very peculiar character, a prcescation by
a wife against a hatband, and he thought it very probable
that if a little delay were greeted, acme arrangement
might be made that would be sati►factory to all parties,
and the necessity for a long inquiry would be obviatwL
Baron Martin said that under these circumstances he
would meet to the postponement.
The trial aocerdingly stands over to the next session.

other seamen, the whole of the party being more or less the
worse for liqaor. A quarrel seemed to hare taken place be-
