(Signed) WILLIAM SIM,
Acting Chief Secretary to Government.
To the Chairman of the Committee of British Merchants.
Constantinople, March 5.
Sir,—lt may be of advantage to British vessels en-
gaged in the corn trade with this country, and which
t,)tich at Malta, to have early information of the closing
by the Turkish Government of the port of Salonica.
I have, therefore, the honour to enclose herewith to
your Excellency the translation of a memorandum, which
has been addressed by the Sublime Porte to this Nth'
bassy, prohibiting the exportation of grain (with the
exception of such quantities as may have been aheady
contracted for) from Salonica and its dependencies, after
a lapse of six weeks, and I request your Excellency t°
take such measures as you ma) judge advisable to brie%
this prohibition to the knowledge of those whom it may
concern. It is probable that other ports in the Turkish
dominions will be hereafter closed.—l have the honour
to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient humble
servant, (Signed) H. WELLESLEY.
To his Excellency Lieutenant-General
Sir Patrick Stuart, &c., Malta.
P.S. The enclosed list of places has been this moment
sent me from the Porte, with the intimation that the
governors will have orders to see that the country spurt;
their jurisdiction is supplied with grain sufficient for "-
consumption before further exportations are permitted.

Translation of circular memorandum from the ports,
dated March I, 1847 :
" Whereas it is foreseen from information received bi
the Ottoman Government that the interior of the country
will have to suffer from scarcity of grain, it has becole
necessary to prohibit the exportation of grain fr°gi
Salonica and the adjacent ports until after the enstlirl
harvest. But the Sublime Porte having always at heerf
to prevent, under all circumstances, the subjects
friendly Powers from suffering any prejudice, shoal
merchants among the subjects of friendly Powers hele
t,
already contracted for grain, grain thus contracted 'es
will be excepted from the prohibition ; and in order th,i
vessels which have already sailed for those places show'f
not suffer any loss by returning in ballast, a delayfe
one month and a half is fixed, from the date of tit
present official communication, for putting this probibl•
tion into execution.
" You are therefore requested, Sir, to give the
sary orders to the Cancellaria of your Legation, end
such other officers as it may be necessary, in order thes
merchants, subjects of your Government, may be lu
on. formed of this prohibition.

MALTA, MARCEL 15.—Holders of grain bought at sq•
vane, d prices, seeing the continued wants of Great Bo:.
tain, France and 13.,1giurn, will not, as yet, submit to sell
at lower prices, in the hope of meeting with a more pl°;
pitious moment, before the new harvest, of realising, .
not at a profit, certainly without loss. On the (Aber
hand, other speculators, looking to the advanced state of
the season, refrain from entering into new operati°%":
unless at such reduced prices as promise to leave a pr"'
commensurate with the increased risk. Prices, there-
fore, may be quoted as stationary and dull, at scuds 33
to 35 for Azuff, 30 to 32 for Odes.,a, 29 to 32 for Ditaubej

DEATH OF A SICK PRISONER IN WESTNIINSIIS
BRIDEIVELL FROM ALLEGED NEGLECT.—An inquest r°held yesterday by Mr. Bedford, at the Westminster Br in
well, on the body of Martha Doran, aged fifty-six, a
prisoner. The deceased was admitted into the prison on to;
13th of March, from Marlborough-street Police C°llr"
having been committed by Mr. Hardwick for trial for steal?
ing a piece of carpet, of the value of 35., the property' e
Moses Abraham and others. On the 17th she was attend
by Mr. Lavies, the surgeon, for general debility, but in con;
sequence of some offensive odour emitted from her pers°,l,
she was not placed in the infirmary, but in a cell henes4l
it, and on the 25th she appeared so well that Mr.
allowed her to go up to the Middlesex Sessions and take ",
trial. She was convicted, and being an old offender Wi-,
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard Isb°lr3,
Dine weeks to be solitary. On her return to the prisons o,
was kept all night in the reception •room, and the next do
was removed to a cell beneath the infirmary, where „
could receive better attention than in one of the ordin"rt.;
wards. She appeared to be very ill, and, although known
-
be so, was not seen from six o'clock in the evening ur!„z
seven o'clock the next morning, when she was found sitti",7
up in her bed dead. Mr. Lavies, the surgeon, said the cause,
death was rupture of the heart, and even if she had batle
visited during the night nothing could have saved her. $
had ordered, however, for the future, that all prisoners uP°_„
the sick list should be visited in their cells up to ten o'cloc.;
at night. If he had thought the deceased to have been e,
any danger he should have left special directions with 11;$
gard to her. Verdict, "Natural death from disease of t
heart."
Itinuomem IN A JURY Box.—At the present $8;
sizes for the county, a prisoner, who was on trial for
felony, was observed to give the sign of the Ribbon fraterfn`le
to one of his jurors, which was duly answered. The evid.,,erla
in support of the charge was very strong, but the acer„n-
was acquitted. A policeman, not of this county, who 1'„r:
pened to be in court, observed the recognition, and c0n31,1,1,11-6
nicated the matter to the legal officers of the Crown. '.4„,
circumstance created, at the time, much talk and surPblo-4
but the result could not have been guarded against.
