Chief Secretary's-office, Valetta, March 15.
Sir,—l am directed by his Excellency the Govere°r
to transmit to you, for the informatio,A of the merchant*
the accompanying c,,py of a letter, dated the sth ins

he has received from the Hon. 11. Wellesley, her

ports of !he Turkish dominions.-1 have the honour t°
be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) WILLIAM SIM,
Acting Chief Secretary to Government.
To the Chairman of the Committee of British Merchant*
Constantinople, March 5.
Sir,—lt may be of advantage to British vessels el'
gaged in the corn trade with this country, and which
touch 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 Bo'
bassy, prohibiting the exportation of grain (with the
exception of such quantities as may have been already
contracted for) from Salonica and its dependencies, after
a lapse of six weeks, and I request your Excellency. te
take such measures as you may judge advisable to bring
this prohibition to the knowledge of those whom it oil
concern. It is probable that other ports in the Turkis
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 under
their jurisdiction is supplied with grain sufficient for its
consumption before further exportations are permitted.
March 7. (Signed) H.

Translation of circular memorandum from the porter
dated March 1, 1847 :
" Whereas it is foreseen from information received 14
the Ottoman Government that the interior of the country
will have to suffer from scarcity of grain, it has beona.„
necessary to prohibit the exportation of grain f_o7;
Salonica and the adjacent ports until after the eattly
harvest. But the Sublime Porte having always at be of
to prevent, under all circumstances, the subjects la
friendly Powers from suffering any prejudice, shrive,
merchants among the subjects of friendly Powers. ator
already contracted for grain, grain thus contracted lc
will be excepted from the prohibition ; and in order
vessels which have already sailed for those places sbeu'of
not suffer any loss by returning in ballast, a delay Le
one month and a halt is fixed, from the date of
present official communication, for putting this ?rob'
Lion
Yinto execution.
" uu are therefore requested, Sir, to give the necest;
sary orders to the Cancellaria of your Legation, allA
.0
such other officers as it may be necessary, in order
merchants, subjects of your Government, may be
formed of this prohibition.
" It is to this end, &c.

DEATH OF A SICK PRISONER IN WESTMLNST-
BEIDENVELL FROM ALLEGED NEGLECT.—An inquest -011
held yesterday by Mr. Bedford, at the Westminster Bride'
well, on the body of Martha Doran, aged fifty-six, a 5.1
prisoner. The deceased was admitted into the prison °A he
of March, from Marlborough-street Police COML.'
having been committed by Mr. Hardwick for trial for steal..
ing a piece of carpet, of the value of 35., the property
Moses Abraham and others. On the 17th
she was attended
by Mr. Levies, the surgeon, for general debility, but in con'
sequence of some offensive odour emitted from her person,.
she e'as not placed in the infirmary, but in a cell beneath
it, and on the 25th she appeared so well that Mr. Laver'
allowed her to go up to the Middlesex Sessions and take be
trial. She was convicted, and being an old offender Ifni
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour'
nine weeks to be solitary. On her return to the prison sbe
was kept all night in the reception TOGID, and the next tilt
was removed to a cell beneath the infirmary, where sb°
could receive better attention than in one of the ordinal
wards. She appeared to be very ill, and, although knowil to
be so, was not seen from six o'clock in the evening until
seven o'clock the next morning, when she was found sitting
up in her bed dead. Mr. Levies, the surgeon, said the canoe Of
death was rupture of the heart, and even if she had been
visited during the night nothing could have saved her. lig
o have
wi beenthany danger he should have left had ordered, however, for the future, that all prisoners impost
in
the sick list should be visited in their cells up to ten o'cVick
at night. If he had thought tthespdeceicaelased directionst
re-
gard to her. Verdict, "Natural death from disease of the
heart."
RIEBONISM IN A JURY Box.—At the present as-
sizes for the county, a prisoner, who was on trial fcir. a
felony, was observed to give the sign of the Ribbon fraternity
to one of his jurors, which was duly answered. The evidence
in support of the charge was very strong, but the accused
was acquitted. A policeman, not of this county, who h:ip•
pened to be in court, observed the recognition, and coratau:
nicated the matter to the legal officers of the Crown. The
circumstance created, at the time, much talk and surpSY7
but the result could not have been guarded against.—usr'

'Examiner.
AMERICAN PROVISIONS.—The line of packet Ail;
Quebec, arrived in the London Docks from New York, has
brought 189 bags of meal, 667 sacks and 4,210 bush
o°f
barley, 658 bags of peas, 810 barrels of flour, 1,451 bags of
oats, 464 tierces of beef, 4,202 bags of wheat, 767 bags ,f
corn, 50 boxes of soda cracker biscuits, and a variety 'Ol,
ether articles, the production of the United States of Mad
rica. These liners formerly brought no grain as a portioo_:,
their cargoes, although the numerous vessels trading betw7,
the United States and the port of Liverpool have for sarho
time, as is well known, brought large quantities of
article—the same being confined principally to manufacto/ e,"
and prepared provisions of various kinds, such as ebes;o;
salted beef, pork, &c., and general merchandise; whe,rBt h
now, it will be seen, as is, indeed, invariably the case ""
respect to these packets, it forms the greater proporti 0
on ,
the whole. This tact is remarkable, and it is doubtless In of
great measure owing to the admission of every descriPtilbe
corn free of duty. The vessel John Holland, arrived in •I,
same docks from New Orleans, has brought 2,200 barge_f
of lard, 92 tierces and 567 barrels of pork, 500 barrelful'',
flour, 214 tierces of beef, 246 casks and a quantity inftbAao
of oilcake ; and the Industrious, from Charleston, luo
bushels of paddy, or rice in the husk, the production of
United States.
