Hustings Court.

--In Judge Lyons's Court, yesterday, the only cases disposed of were those involving discharge from militia service under writs of habeas corpus.

John O. Austin, Edward Cunningham and Samuel Pearce, laying claim to exemption from militia service on the ground of being over fifty years of age, were each discharged, they having, in the opinion of the Judge, established the fact of being beyond the age prescribed by law.

The Court adjourned till 10 o'clock this morning.
