WAKEFIELD'S TRIAL.

As this business excites so many interesting antici-
pations, we subjoin the following particulars, received
this morning, from our own Correspondent at Lan-
caster :

" I have pist learnt that it is not possible for the rase to cattle
on, on TiftrtiSDAS' NEx.r, there being, for instance, no bill found ;
and in the next place, Mr. Wakefield objects to such a premature
proceeding. His Counsel are Messrs. gearlett, Parke, and Pol-
lock. A curious circumstance has taken place, which is, that
Mr. Brougham has been retained on Loth sides at tins same time,
and there is a doubt for whom the Learned Gentleman will ap-
pear, Mr. Wakelleki considers its ought to have the benefit of
his assistance. The Attorney. General for Lancaster (Mr. gearlett)
has written him a note to say he is retained ao his (Mr. Wake-
.
field's) advocate. _

It ii considered as certain that he cannot, under the Act of
Fleury lil. c. 2., be convicted of vaconv, but of the misdemeanour
only, which has made up his mind to, ii tried. lle corresponds
with a munber of distinguished persons on the Continent.
Lancaster will be excessively crowded.. The criminal list is
very heavy', there being from 123 to 130 prisoners. The Civil
Side will be intoesting. Lavender, the Police officer, has ordered
apartments for :150 witnet,ses.
Mr. TutiltiVU has taken apartments at a Mr. Carter's, so that
it would seem be intends to prosecute, but there is something
tr-
hinrf the curtain ; and it is whispered the Sun. will nut be far
from the truth. Mr. Wakefielit'. it is said, will not be srruigned
before the second week. The waiter• Mal chamLermaid of the
King's Arms Inn, Kendall, are subpoenaed !"

Etorntryv.---On my way from Keith! through Barton, yes-
tertlay (Friday), a post chaise and four drove along, with au
oxtraorthuaty spec 1, aupposed to be for Gretna Green. The
young holy was muilletl in a greut coat, awl the goutlenian wore
a seal:Ain cap over his eyes, evidertly for the purpose of conceal-
ment. I endeavoured to learn who they were, but without effect.

STATE OF TRADE.--Our market for cotton
goods has during the present week, exhibited grati-
fying symptoms of amendment. The belief that
it has reached its lowest ebb, has brought forth
a great number"of speculators, desirous of laying
in stocks at the present low prices, conceiving,
and not unjustly, that prices will rise with the
returning tide of prosperity. This circumstance
operated in Cannon-street, on Tuesday last, like a refreshinir shower
of rain on a sultry day, and it made the Manufactbrers skip shout
like grasshoppers. The slumbers of the dust which lay on
their immense piles of goods is their long alley-like looms
were completely disturbed, and we sincerely trust that in future
it will find another resting place. There was a good deal of
buying, particularly by persons from London, but not at any ad-
vance of price. It is expected, however, that if the demand con-
tinue (and from its being about the lime that the country dealers
lay in their stocks, it,is not unlikely) prices will gain ground, and
continue to do so, provided the manufacturers do not again over-
stock the market. —Manchester Gazette.
