pany, which was paised at the list extraordinary gene-
ral meeting of the' proprietors ; James Horne, Esq. in
the chair. After the Secretary bad read the notice
which convened the last general. meeting, „ the Chair-
man observed, that he should not trouble the meeting
with any observations as the object for. Which they had
met was so well known, lnit would be glad to hear any
observation which any gentleman might think proper
to offer ; but he presumed that they had very little
else to do than put the. resolution confirmatory of the
one adopted at the last. general meeting, which was for
the dissolution of the company, and which he had no
doubt but would pass unanimously. • This motion was
seconded, and passed unanimously. It was then
moved that the Directors would be
.pleased to take
into their liberal consideration the services of Mr. Wit-
, son, and the- peCuliar situation he was placed in by
the dissolution of the Company, which motion was
put, and passed with acclamation. Thanks were then
voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

WM. WAXEFIELIYg TRIAL
(non OUR OWN cottussoNom).

LANCASTER, TUESDAY, Aua. 15,

It is really wonderful to witness the vast change here.
Several of the nobility, gentry, and others, took their de-
partures the moment they heard of the issue, of which I
informed you yesterday, viz. that 'E. G. Wakefield had
been admitted to bail. Many a young, lady who had pic-
ttited to herself the gratification of seeing this "beautiful
maid.',' not at the " foot," but at the top of the "hill,"
has been sorely disappointed. They say it is a complete
hoax, and that henceforth the men may run away with
them for 'what they care, since the old-fashioned law of
Philip and Mary has given such a latitude to the "gay de-
ceivers! Wm. Wakefield was seen early this morning,
walking arm in arm with his solicitor, when it ,was
said that a motion would be made to put off
his trial but, from the strong, observations made
by Mr. Jiistice Park yesterday, it was much doubt-
ed whether it would be granted or not.. At the sitting of
the court, his Lordship took the cases of the rioters, and
it was then understood that he would not hear any motion
until the rising of the coitrt. • Counsel'. were then seen to
move quickly on the other side. The trial of the rioters '
was not over until near seven! o'clock. Great expecta-
tion was then excited that the motion would come
on, but Mr. Justice Park adjourned the Court until nine
o'clock to-morrow. It is thought that if the motion be
not granted, the trial will come on to-morrow (Wednes-
day.) The motion will be made on affidavit, the tinor
of which will be .to enlarge the time to surrender on his
recognivntees until the next Assixet, in discharge of his
bail. Sir John Copley waits the issue of this motion
before he proceeds to. Scotland. It is •just said that the
motion will in part be founded on the absence of a very
material witness in France.

The unfortunate man (Shorrock) for rape, was visited
yesterday by his son, who walked all the way from Black-
hum, with clogs of an extraordinary weight upon his legs,
to see his unhappy father. The interview in the Castle-
yard was very affecting; the ►vretched man received a rag-
ged suit of clothes from his son, in order to prevent the
hangman, he said, from having the old ones be wore on
the day.

The best causes have died away at Nisi Prins.
