In this action, which was one of trespass for alleged
illegal entry by the defendants, all of whom are trades-
men in the neighbourhood of Bow, into the premises of
the plaintiff, who lately carried on business as a baker
in the same locality. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Robin-
son were instructed for the plaintiff ; Mr. James, Q.C.
and Mr. Parry, for Ford ; and Mr. Hawkins and Mr.
Sleigh, for Kinnaird.

The hearing of the plaintiff's case occupied nearly the
whole of Tuesday's sitting ; that of the defendants
being entered upon this morning.
On behalf of the defendants it was alleged that Kinnaird
had made an entry upon the premises under the autho-
rity of a warrant of attorney ; and, so far as regarded
the other defendants, they had no connection whatever
with this proceeding, but had simply entered the house
to rescue a Miss Stacey, a lodger in the plaintiff's house,
from confinement in a room, in which she had been shut
up against her will.

After hearing the evidence of Kinnaird, which was
remarkably clear and satisfactory, Sergeant Wilkins in-
timated his willingness, with the consent of the Court
and the counsel for the defendants, to submit to the
withdrawal of a juryman.

This course, after a short consultation, was adopted,
his lordship expressing his Ontire concurranco in the pro-
priety of feeling which had suggested it.

Screw Steam Shipping Company being unable, in com-

at their offices addressed to Australia.

MARKET NEW.-(Tila DAY.)

CORN EA.OIIA.N GE.

Moderate supplies of English wheat-2,240 quarters—
have been received up to our market this week coastwise.
Fresh up to-day, by land carriage, the arrivals were
limited, and the show of samples was small. There was
more firmness in the demand for all kinds than on Monday,
and, in some instances, late rates were exceeded ; but the
business doing was very moderate.
We had rather a slow sale for foreign wheat. Importers,
however, were firm, and the quotations wore supported.
We had a very dull inquiry for barley at Monday's
decline in price. Malt of all kinds was heavy; but we
have no further decline to notice in the quotations.

There was a moderate inquiry for oats and flour; but
both beans and peas were ♦ery dell.

Three more ships have been named to take convalescents
home—the Mary Ann, reported as capable of accommo-
dating 160; the Harbinger, 85, and the Bellerophon man-
of-war, 150. Every day as the crowded state of the hos-
pitals here increases and the atmosphere becomes more
dangerous to health, the importance of increased facilities
for the transport of convalescents either to England or
Malta becomes mere obvious. Now that Admiral Boxer
has been removed from the chief naval command in the
Bosphorus, it is to be hoped that the difficulties which
have hitherto been experienced upon this point may be
obviated by his successor.
The following short but interesting return will be sure
at the present juncture to attract attention :
Return showing the number of ships that arrived from the
army with sick and wounded, the number died on the
passage, and the number of burials that have taken place
at Scutari since the formation of the general depot

Number of wounded and sick conveyed from the
army that originally embarked*
Number died on passaget 654
Number of burials at Scutari:

* About four-fifths of the above were admitted into the
hospital.

died on the passage.

2 sailors, 11 Russian officers, and 36 Russian privates.

LIBERAL OfFER.—The Governors of the Middlesex
Hospital have made an offer to the Government to re-
ceive into that establishment 40 of the sick and wounded
from the seat of war.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A general
meeting of the magistracy of Middlesex was held yes-
terday, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, Mr.
Povvnall, presiding. The report of the committee for
accounts, &c., after alluding to one OT' two matters
of little importance, treating upon the large excess
(amounting to 14,5851. 15s. lid.) of the county ex-
penditure for the year over that of the year pre-
ceding, an excess to be attributed to an increased
number of prisoners, and a great advance in the con-
tract prices of provisions and stores. A county rate of id.
in the pound, and a lunatic asylum rate of Id. in the
pound for the next quarter were agreed to. The report
was adopted. A report was presented from the Hanwell
Lunatic Asylum ; 169 patients were admitted during the
year ; 30 were discharged, cured ; 13 relieved, or im-
proved ; deaths, 81. Mr. Cottrell said that if the
parishes sent incurable patients instead of those recently
attacked, the county would ere long be called upon to
erect a third asylum. The report from Colney Hatch
stated that the condition of that establishment was most
satisfactory. The usual reports from the prisons were
brought up.
THE BRAZILIAN MAIL—SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 18.—
Owing to the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Severn
having been removed from the Brazilian and River Plate
route by the British Government requiring her use in
the transportation of troops, it is generally feared that
no mail steam-ship will be despatched from this port on
the 9th of next month as usual. This, however, is not
likely to be the case. The Tyno steamship, now fitting
out at Loudon, is shortly expected to be ready for sea ;
and the Solent, expected with the homeward portion of
the West India and Mexican mails due on the Ist proxi-
mo, furnishes two ships which may be made available.
Besides the usual mails and passengers, there are about
70 tons of surplus cargo, which the company have pro-
mised shall be forwarded by the vessel of the 9th proxi-
mo. It has been mentioned that the Tay, lately length-
ened by the Messrs. White, of Cowes, is the ship selected
to fill the vacuum, but the length of time required to
make her ready for sea renders it highly improbable that
such can be the ease. Owing to no mail steam-ship
having been despatched en the 9th of December, there
Will be 110 in-coming MAil this Port in February,.
