KING'S THEATRE.

On Saturday night, a Madame Brizzi, who has acquired
great reputation as a singer at Venice and Rome, made her
appearance at this theatre in Rossini's Opera of Ricciardo
e Zoraide. The quality of this lady's voice is a low so-
prano, and indicates great skill and melody : it is, however,
rather too feeble—a fault with this establishment, at least,
almost irremediable. Mademoiselle Toso, who undertook
the part of Zoraide, less in excellent voice : she appears to
be gaining rapidly on the favour of the audience; and we
doubt not, with a little judicious attention, will establish
herself firmly with the public. The horse, we were glad
to see, was crowded.

GRAND FANCY DRESS BALL.—It is really
almost a sin to dismiss a grand fancy dress ball, in an in-
glorious paragraph, but want of room compels us to state
(leaving out all the beautiful particulars of the ladies and
gentlemen's dresses) that one of this description took place
on Thursday night last, at Cheltenham, and that the parties
engaged, were all exceedingly " happy and comfortable."
It is too late to correct a rare specimen of
French which appears in an Advertisement in our first page.
We shall do Mr. Frendberg ample justice to-morrow.

RICE.--A new machine for separating the
grain of rice from its lausli..b.s. been invented in Italy..
consists of two fluted cylinders, set in motion by an hy-
draulic wheel. These cylinders, revolving on a horizontal
plan, detach the grain from the panicles. It subsequently
passes across a wooden hurdle, while the straw is separated
by the movement of the nuichine.—Literary Gazette.
The Rev. Mr. Glossop, of Wolverton, lost
15 sheep by that dreadful disease hydrophobia; they were
generally found bitten abent the head ; they were all penned
up; one of them yenned a lamb whilst confined, and de-
voured it immediately. The moment any one approached
them they ran to the pen and hit at them. The dog that
hit them is fortunately destroyed.—Doncaster Gazette.
Ma. E. G. WAKEFIELD.—(From a COT-
respondent.)—Mr. Wakefield's first wife was a young lady
powssing considerable attractions, a most amiable dispo-
sition, and a handsome fortune. She resided with her
father at Tottenham, where Mr. Wakefield, by chance,'
first became acquainted with her. As a proof of the per-
severing qualities of this gentleman, on his suit being re-
jected, he followed the young lady, who was then scarcely
turned 18, to almost every place of fashionable resort in'the
kingdom, (whither she went for the purpose of avoiding
him), for the space of more than three years, when, being
completely tired out, she at length yielded to his entreaties,
and became Mrs. Wakefield. Two children were the fruits
of this union, who are still living.
Yesterday, about three o'clock, a very loud
noise resembling an explosion of gunpowder was heardd in
the town of Lancaster, accompanied by a trembling of the
earth and a shaking of the doors in the houses. Several
persons who were at a distance of two or three miles felt the
shock, and some alarm was experienced. The interest
taken in the trial of Wakefield, prevented it from being
noticed in Court, to us, the sensation was one which we
never before experienced, we have little doubt that the noise
was occasioned by the shock of an earthquake. —Liverpool
Chronicle.

At the Waterford Assizes a trial took place
before Mr. Justice Burton, on account of a duel fought on
May, 21, 1826, between Captain Daunt and Daniel Con-

a tedious but uninteresting trial, Mr. Conner and hi.
second (Bernard Beamish, Esq.) were acquitted.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT-=LANCASTER, 01,
TRIAL OF EDWARD GIBBON WAKEFIELD,
WILLIAM WAKEFIELD, AND MRS. FRANCES
WAKEFIELD.

The disappointment which had been experienced in con-
sequence of the unexpected illness of Mr. Scarlett, by no
means abated the ardour of curiosity by which all parts of
Lancaster has been for some days actuated. According to
the arrangements of the High Sheriff, assisted by the inde-
fatigable efforts of Mr. Higgin, the Governor of the Castle,
seven o'clock was fixed for the hour at which all persons
having tickets were to be admitted into Court; but long
before that hour, all Lancaster was in motion, and every
avenue leading to the Castle was thronged. At a few
minutes before seven o'clock the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion were admitted, and introduced into a part of the
Court railed off specially for them. At seven o'c!,,ck the
Gentlemen connected with the various London and Pro-
vincial Journals were allowed to take their seats, in pre.
ference to all other persons. It is here but just, that their
thanks should be expressed for the complete accommoda-
tion they received, from the kind exertions of Mr. Higgin.
At 20 minutes to 8 o'clock the doors of the Court were
opened to spectators in general. The rush was immense,
and in a few minutes every spot of the Court which could
command a view of the proceedings, was occupied with
the greatest avidity. Among the spectators, the expecta-
tion of the numbers of the fair sex predominating, was,
however, disappointed. The interest each moment in-
creased in intensity, and every eye was turned to the place
where it was expected the defendants would be placed.
After the Court was occupied till nine o'clock in some
other business, the defendants were severally called. Ed-
ward Gibbon Wakefield answered. Mrs. Frances Wake-
field was not in attendance, but her husband was ; and
William Wakefield, who was in custody in the Castle for
debt, having been arrested since his arrival in this town,
was brought into Court by a Bench Order. The defend-
ants in attendance were seated near their Counsel.'

Mr. PATTisom opened the pleadings.
The following ig the copy of the indictment :

Lasecasneai—The Jurors for our Lord the King upon
their oath present, that before and at the time of the commit-
ting of the offences, with the several counts of this indict-
ment mentioned, Margaret Daulby,. Phoebe Daulby, Eliza-

ing, education, and governance, of the said Ellen Turner;
and'' that the residenee of the said William Turner was at
a place called Shrigley Park. And the Jurors
,aforesaid,
upon their oath aforesaid, do further present, that Edward
Gibbon Wakefield, late of Manchester, in the county of Lan-
caster, gentleman, and William 'Wakefield, late of the same
place,gentleinaa, on the seventh day of March, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, at
Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, the said Edward
Gibbon Wakefield, being then and there above the age of
fourteen years, to wit—of the age of thirty years, and the

under and within the age of sixteen years, to wit, of the
age of fifteen years, out of and from the possession of, and

Daulby, Elizabeth Daulby, Anne Daulby, and Catharine
Dank, they, the said Margaret Daulby, Phoebe Daulby,
Elizabeth Daulby, Anne Daulby, and Catharine Daulby,
then and there having by such lawful means as aforesaid,
the order, keeping, education, and governance, of the said
Ellen Turner. And that the raid Edward Gibbon
Wakefield, and the said William Wakefield, afterwards, to
wit, on the same day, and in the year aforesaid, at
Manchester aforesaid, in the county aforesaid, did un-
lawfully, falsely, and wickedly, represent end state, to
the said Ellen Turner, amongst other things, ire substance
and effect, that the said William Wakefield had then and
there seen the said William Turner, the father of the same
Ellen Turner; and that certain sheriff's officers were endea-
vouring to take him the said William Turner into ciiato,,e,
and that the said William Turner had declared to him, the
said William Wakefield, that if she the said Ellen Turner
hail any love for hiwa, the said William Turner, he the
said William Turner entreated, that she, the said Ellen

went forward, and brought hack to Carlisle, a certificate
of the ,marriage of her, the said Ellen Turner, all would
he right ; and that if the certificate wai shown to the
sheriff's officers, they would have no further claim upon
the said William Turner; and that the only way to save
the said William Turner from ruin, was, that the said Ellen
Turner should marry the said Edward Gibbon Wakefield.—
Whereas in truth and in fact, the said Win. Wakefield had
not then and there seen the said Win. Turner ; and whereas
in truth and in fact, cerraiusheriff'e officers were not endea-
vouring to take him, the said Win. Turner, into custody; arid
whereas in truth and in fact, the said Wm.

the,only way to save the said Wm. Turner from ruin,
that the said Ellen Turner should marry the said Edward
Gibbon Wakefield; nor was he, the Said Wm. Terser, in
any danger of being ruined. And the Jurors aforesaid,
upon their oaths aforesaid, do say, that by means of the
said unlawful, false, and wicked representations and state-
ments, and by the assent, procurement, and assistance,
of the said W. Wakefield, and by a certain ceremony,
which then and there took place, he, the- said Edward G.
Wakefield did, then and there, unlawfully contract rnit-
trimony with the said Ellen Turner, then and there
being such a maid, and within the age of sixteen, as afore-
*aid, unknowing of and.to the said W. Turner, the father
of the said Ellen Turner, he, the said W. Turner, then
and there being inlife, against, &e.
Mr. Sergeant Caoss then stated the case to the Jury sei
follows :—My Lord, and Gentlemen of the jury—his Ma-
jesty having been lately pleased to call my Learned Friend
(the late Attorney-General) to a high judicial situation,
the duty has devolved upon me to conduct this singular
cause. Whatever may be the effect of this change of ap-
pointment upon these proceedings I am bound to congratu-
late the late Attorney-General upon his elevation, where a
larger sphere is allotted to the developement of his great
talents, for the benefit of the community at large. He
was a man of too high a character to owe promotion to
subserviency in furtherance of the interests of any political
party—oftoo much manly independence of mind to bend him-
seff to mere party purposes, and I am, therefore, gratified at
the recent promotion which he has so deservedly obtained.
Now for the circumstances of the present case. By the
Statute Law of England, to ce, rry away any female, under
the age of sixteen years, with or without her consent, end
afterwards to marry her unknown to her legal guardians,
is a high inisdemeanour, subjecting the man so acting to
five years' imprisonment, and fines ; and the young lady to
a forfeiture of her inheritance, so long as her husband lived
with her. By another statute it was a capital felony;
and if this act had been committed on English ground, two
of these defendants would have been tried and condemned
to an ignominious death, and probably executed upon the
walls of this very castle twelve months ago. You are,
Gentlemen, aware, that though England and Scotland
form one Government, yet that each country is for all
purposes of municipal law separate and distinct, so that if
(as in this case) the crime was begun in this country, and
continued and finished in Scotland, the law, in its original
state, would not reach these delinquents. They were not,
therefore, brought here this day for trial upon these sta-
tutes, but on a charge of conspiracy to violate them, and
that particular crime was complete, even though the of-
fence was stripped of its Consummation in England. First,
they were charged with carrying away a female under 16
years of age, from the custody of her parent and iastrile-
tress ; and, secondly, with a conspiracy to take her away
without her consent, and afterwards to marry her to one
of these defendants. Having thus generally stated the
outline of the charge, I will apprise you of the parties who
have this day to prosecute it. Mr. Turner, the father of
the young lady, whose treatment is the subject of your
inquiry, is a gentleman, who has acquired, by commer-
cial pursuits, a very considerable property.
He resides
on his estate in Cheshire, where he last year filled
the important office of High Sheriff. His daughter
is an only child, and she had, at the time of this occur-
rence, passed her 15th year of age. She has much grown
since that period, as most children did during their 16th
year, which in-general, advanced them far in maturity.
The first of these defendants was a lady now of the name of
Wakefield, and through her, the whole contrivance of the
abduction appeared to have been carried on. She went to
Paris, last year, during the Christmas vacation, from her
father's, Doctor Davis's, house, in Macclesfield, and was then
known, and continued to be so till this whole businesS was
appeared Miss Davis had been pree
vitowudritynmp,ararineLidthtoen it
the
elder Wakefield. In 'Paris it wax
understood she met the two Wakefields—Edward and
.William. The latter, though 3.n Englishman by birth, was
an inhabitant of Paris, which. city he made his domicile and
residence. The:elder of.the ,two brothers (Edward) was
a widower, and had children
of his own, but William had
been Married ieelearie, ;since this occurrence. In that city
bad formed a iewieer. which *her «ere rh,•seil f 4 r.. 11

gentlemen that had received this designation. Among
them wad a lady of the Bane of Bathurst, who called her-
self the step-daughter of the venerable Bishop of Norwich.
She, thane] not to difpearanre, engaged in any of the cri-
minal parts of this enterprise, had made herself very busy
about it, both before and after its explosion, awl had re-
marked, in communicating with one of the defendants upon
the business—" Little did I think, when I desired Miss
Davis to get Miss Turner for you, that one of you had
already carried her off, won, and wedded her also." In
Paris, it clearly appeared that this conspiracy had been
hatched, and there it was that Miss Davis begun those
operations which were afterwards matured and executed in
this country. The moment she returned from Paris, she
commenced her plans at Shrigley, which was Mr. Turner's
place of residence. She then entreated a lady of the neigh-
bourhood, with whom She was acquainted, to- introduce her
to Mrs. Turner, which was accordingly done ; and, at the
first visit, she expressed her regret that Miss Turner had
returned to school, and hoped she would soon have the
pleasure of making her acquaintance. About the first of
March, tiny Wakefields, who were Miss Davis's travelling
friends, arrived at Dr. Davis's house, in Macclesfield. Was
it likely, that they had-quitted the gay circle of Paris, to
travel four hundred miles to see Macclesfield ? No, no, they
came to execute their scheme, to acquire the necessary in-
formation about the family of Mr. Turner for which purpose
they rode about the grounds at Shrigley, and Miss Davis
will be proved to.have made, as by accident, but as it
had since clearly appeared by design, a number of pertinent
inquiries about Mr. Turner, from Mr. Grimsditch, who
was his solicitor. From Mr..Grimsditch, she learned that
he and Mr. Turner were to set out in a day or two to Lon-
don, and in answer to her inquiries respecting Mrs. Tur-
ner's health, Mr. Grimsditch informed her, that though
her physicians ascribed her illness to a determination of
blood to the head, yet, in his own opinion, he believed her
to be affected by paralysis. When it was ascertained that
Mr. Turner had left for London, Miss Davis applied to a
banker in Macclesfield for a loan of 1501. upon a very pres-
ing exigency, which rendered the application on the Sab-
bath imperative. She said it was to relieve a cousin, who
had unfortunately been arrested. The money was instantly
given in the presence of one of the defendants, and this 150/.
was the identical money expended in this wicked purpose.
So urgent were the parties to watch the Turner family,
that it would appear that though they left Macclesfield
on the Sunday evening for Manchester, they had sent back
a French servant, Thcvenot (who was not now on his trial,
though included in one of the indictments),:to Miss Davis,
for further information. They arrived at the Albion Hotel,
in Manchester, very early on the Monday morning, and one
of the defendants was there introduced in the name of Cap-
tain Wilson. After breakfai,ting they want to a coach-
maker's, where they purchased, for 401., an old carriage,
with a barouche box in front. In this they all set out from
Manchester, at two o'clock- on Tuesday morning, having,
however, on the preceding evening dispatched the servant,
Thevenot, once more by post, at considerable expence, for
fresh instructions from Miss Davis. At last when, by his
return, they had- received actual intelligence of Mr. Turner
having gone to London, a letter. was concocted to he sent
forward to the school at Liverpool where Miss Turner was,
announcing the illness of her mother. This letter pur-
ported to come frOm an attending physician, but was an
entire fabrication to further the wicked purpose of the con-
spirators.
.COPY OF THE FORGED LETTER.
Shrigley, Monday night, half-past 1?, March 6th.

" Madam—l write to you by the desire of Mrs. Turner,
of Shrigley, who has been seized with a sudden and'dan-
gerous attack of paralysis. Mr. Turner is unfortunately
from home, but has been sent for, and Mrs. Turner wishes
to see her daughter immediately.
" A steady servant will take this letter and my carriage
'to you, to fetch Miss T. ; and 1 beg that no time may be
lost in -departure; as, though I do not think Mrs. T. is in
immediate danger, it is probable she may very soon become
incapable of recognizing any one. Mra. Turner particu-
larly wishes that her daughter should not he informed of
,the extent of her danger, as, without this precaution, Miss
Turner might be very anxious on the journey ; and this
house is so crowded, and in such confusion and alarm, that
Mrs. T. does not wish any one to accompany her daughter.
The servant is instructed not to let the boys drive too feat,
as Miss T. is rather fearful in a carriage:

"-I am, Madam, your obedient servant,

" .IN-0. AINSWORTH, M.D.
" The best thing to be said to Miss T. is, that Mee. T.
wishes to have her home rather sooner, for the approach-
ing removal to the new house ; and his servant is instruct-
ed to give no other reason, in case Miss T. should ask him
any questions. Mrs. T. is very anxious that her daughter
ehoulal not be frightened, and trusts to your judgment to
prevent it. She also desires me to add, that her sister, or
niece, or myself, should they continue unable, will not fail
to write to you by the post.
" Mrs. Daulby."
The whole of this was an infamous fabrication. About
two o'clock on the Tuesday morning, the two Wakefields
and the Frenchman set out from Manchester in the newly-
, purchased carriage. William was left behind, at War-
rington, which was half-way; the other brother and the
ttervant drove.on towards the school, at Liverpool. Edw.
Wakefield, however, came out before they reached the
school, leaving the man to drive up to the door sitting on
the coach box. The servant instantly obtained admission,
to deliver the fabricated letter, which, at the time, and
under the circumstances, was calculated to impose on the
ladies at the school. Thevenot described himself to have
been lately_ hired by Mr. Turner, as his own servant, for
the new house into which that . gentleman was, at that
time about to remove. This was to account why the
young lady-could not know his person, as he was a new-
comer into the family ; and to explain away the appear-
-2.11Ce of the carriage, lie said it belonged to Dr. Ainsworth,
and he was, upon his return, to take up Dr. Hull in it at
Manchester. There being no doubt of the truth and vera-
city of the man's statement, the lady at the school imme-
diately prepared Miss Turner for the journey. There was
not the slightest reason for their knowing anything of this
bane project, which had since been to them a eituree of the
greatest grief, and now; perhaps, when the whole business
had been developed, their want of any suspicion of strata-
gem could be accounted for in the lines of the poet :
" For oft where wisdom wakes,
Suspicion sleeps at Wisdom's gate ;
And to Simplicity resigns her charge—
Thinking no wrong, where no wrong seems."
Miss Turner accordingly set out in the carriage, the French-
man sitting on the box; but Edward Wakefield, probably
through some blunder, missed them in the neighbourhood ;
they drove to Warrington, where W. Wakefield was wait-
ing the result of the enterprise, and when he saw that the
prize watt carried, off, he was, tinder such circumstances ex-
tremely anxious to know what had • become of his brother,
and he set out 'after him, towards Liverpool. They met
on the road, but before he left Warrington he wrote a letter
for his brother, in the event of his arrival at the inn, before
they met on the road. This letter never reached the per-
eon to whom it was addressed, and was es follows :
" Go immediately to where we dined yesterday, on cod
and mutton chops. Ells doit y attendre son pert ; elle est
partie d'ici a 11 heures.—Write to Mr. Wilson at the same
place from wherever von succeed.
" Captain Wilson.'"
On the road to Liverpool the brothers met, and hastened
away to Man Chester, where the Frenchman had previously
arrived with the young lady. Edward introduced him-
self to her at the hotel, and said that he expected her father
who was his particular friend, to have been there before
him. She expressed greet anxiety to see her father, and
also to visit her uncle, who lived near Manchester. " You
will miss your father if you do," was the reply, "'for he
will be here directly." It would not have done to have
permitted her at such a moment to have visited her uncle,
and therefore greet dexterity was practised by the servant
and one of the Virakefields. On being shown into the par-
lour of the inn, the Frenchman told the waiters that he
would attend upon the young lady. It was here that Ed-
ward Wakefield introduced himself ker. He was a young
man of gay and somewhat fashionable air, and a com-
plete master of all the arts of dissimulation, which he in-
stantly practised with consummate address. Miss Turner
hail at that time heard of the commercial distress which
had suddenly broke upon the country, and had just recol-
lected hearing her father talk of the sudden reverses which
some of his neighbours bad endured, and remarked a few
days before, at the school, when he happened not to have
in his pocket at the moment within a few pounds of the
amount of her school-bill, that such a young lady (naming
one) had been lately taken home, her family being unable
to maintain her education at that establishment; and he
added, (not speaking- seriously at the time), " and so may
I be obliged to take you home, if I cannot pay up your
bill." Miss Turner, who was of a confiding and generous
disposition, had this remark fresh on her memory, and
never doubting its sincerity, was prepared, in some degree,
for the statement which Edward Wakefield made to her
on this occasion; for he told her in the Albion Hotel that
her mother's alums was not the cause of her being- a'-
raptly removed from school, but her father's sudden em-
barrassment, swing to the failure of the Macclesfield and
Blackbnrne Banks (where she knew he kept money)--
Struck at the instant with her father's remark about re-
verses of fortune, and his boing unable to pay the .bahtnoe
of the bill, she believed the story which was thus told her,
and contented at once to go into' Yorkshire to meet him,
as some excuse wee framed for his nut coming on to Man-
cbe4,ter, where he had promised to join them. In this
InfEeuno-;r,,,1

consent been obtained ?—not to travel ‘vith these persons.
through the country, but to go and see her sick 'mother.—
In this manner, by fraud, and terror for the impending fate
of her family, she was carried into Scotland, where, in the
hope of saving from ruin those who were Most dear to her,
she was persuaded to give her hand to one of these de-
fendahts, in the presence of a drunken blacksmith, a land-
lord, and this French Servant. This ceremony performed,
she expected to be permitted to throw herself into the arms
of her father, at Carlisle, and to congratulate him upon a
delivery from embarrassment by ter means. However,
when they returned to Carlisle, these person Contrived to
persuade her that her father, upon hearing of the nuittlitge
from the postilions--ivho had hastened back the moment
it was over—had left word that be had set out for Shrigley,
or London, to put the conclusion to the favourable adjust-
ment of his affairs, and that he wished her to follow him.
Under the belief that this story was true, she travelled south
again with these defendants, and they slept on that night
in three teparale beds, at Penrith. But no misfortune
happened to this lady there, for if any violence ;mad been at-
tempted in England, the parties would have been within
the reach of the law, and liable to punishment for the capital
soffence. They proceeded afterwards on their route to
London, and arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, in the
neighbourhood of Hanover-square. The history of this
journey was exactly this. They took Miss Turner from
school, at Liverpool, on Tuesday, on Wednesday they
hurried her into Scotland, they rested on that night at
Penrith, and travelling then all Thursday night, they arrived
late on Friday night in London. William Wakefield had
turned off from them to join Miss Davis, at Macclesfield,
on their way, and Edward was met, on his arrival at the
hotel, in London, by a friend, who gave him a message,
which, no doubt was, that he must hurry out of the king-
dom, to evade the grasp of justice. Upon this intimation,
he told Miss Turner that his friend had just stated, that her
father was gone en to Calais, where they must follow him.
Thither they hastened accordingly, and reached the French
coast on Saturday morning, having made this young lady
travel a journey of 600 miles in the deepest affliction about
her father, and harassed in every respect about the situa-
tion of her family, through the machinations of these who
had deluded her. The whole scheme was one of fraud ;
there was no love for this young lady, the sole object
being to get the money of the father, by putting the
daughter's hand to pick his pocket. Some notice had
been publicly taken of the business, by the insertion of
the marriage, in the usual way, in some of the London
Papers. On Sunday, was Miss Daulby apprised of the
fried and forgery by which this young lady bad been stolen
from her protection, and she instantly repaired to Shrigley,
to the afflicted family of Mr. Turner. This fatal intelli-
gence no sooner became known to Mr. Turner, who had
left London on the same Friday evening that his daughter
had been inveigled into it, and who probably passed her
on the first or second stage from the metropolis, than he
started off to London again in search of her, with some
friends. He was himself unable to travel farther than
London, but his brother and Mr. Grimsditch pro-.
ceeded on to Calais, where, upon meeting Miss Turner
with Edward Wakefield, walking on the pier, they took
the necessary steps to recover her for, the family. Upon
this,llllr. Wakefield began to insist upon his superior right
to her person—the husband having a greater controul than
the father. She was his wife, he said, and he had a right
to detain her. As soon, however, as the veil was removed
from the young lady's eyes, she became instantly struck
with horror and detestation at the wicked object of this
person. She threw herself into her uncle's arms, and when
Edward Wakefield said she was his own wife, she turned
away with horror from him. All the parties then went
before a Magistrate at Calais, who, upon hearing the young
lady's statement, restored her to her relatives at once ; being
of opinion, that a detention acquired by fraud and forgery,
could constitute no property for any man. After she left
France, Edward Wakefield wrote a letter in confidence to
his brother William, which must be taken, if there were
any - trush in him, to be the real effusion of his own
feelings. This letter, by. a piece of good fortune, did not
reach William's hands, but is now in mine, and is as
follows :

LETTER. FROU E. G. WAKEFIELD TO HIS DROVIER. WILLIAM.

" Calais, Thursday.

" My dear William—l write in haste to save the post,
only to give you news, and nothing else. Mr. Robert
Turner, Mr. Critchley, and Grimsditch, arrived by the
packet to-day, with warrants, &c. &a. &e. I soon knew
what they were come for ; but would, not attempt to avoid
the question. Shortly I law them, and found,
.that with
Ellen's consent, they could take her away. They insisted
on 'seeing her. I could not object. She told all, and was
anxious to leave me when she knew all. I expected as
much, and therefore made a merit of necessity, and let her
go ; they tried to take me, but for that they were on tha
wrong side of the water, as I well knew ; however, I of-
fered to go with them, but begged Mr. Critchley to believe
that I would be in England, to answer any charge, as soon
as I had seen my children and settled my affairs ; nothing
could he more hostile thin the whole spirit of their pro-,
eeedings ; I could readily have escaped with Ellen, but their
account of Mrs. and Mr. Turner's state made such a step
impossible; I made and gave in writing a solemn declara-
tion, that she and I have been as brother and sister. 'How
this may affect the validity of the marriage, I know
not, nor could I raise the question. I was hound, and
it Was wise, to giVe some comfort to Mr. Turner. I
am now in a stew about you, and wish that you were
safe. There can be no doubt that the law can punish us.
For myself, I will meet it, come what may ;, but, if you
are able, get away as soon as possible. I do not care a
straw for myself ; the grand question now is, is the mar-
riage legal ? They all said no, and quoted William and
Mary upon me till I was tired of their Majesties' name—(a
laugh.)—Pray let me know that, but I shall write to nun-
key; do not stay, you can do no good ; I shall go to Eng-
land as soon as possible ; upon this you may depend ; I
shall not write again till I hear from you, for fear of ac-
cidents; Percy came with the trio, and has witnessed the
the row; we start early in the morning. Pray write
write, but say nothing to any body, I amthe person to speak.
" Your's, ever, E. G. W.
_

. " William Wakefield, Esq."
The following is the note left by Wm. Wakefield for his
brother, at Warrington:—
' " Go immediately to where we dined yesterday, on cod
and mutton-chops. Elle doit y attendre son pore : elle est
partie d' ici all helms. Write to Mr. Wilson at the
same place from wherever you succeed.
" Captain Wilson."
What he seems to rely on in this letter, is, that the con-
summation of this atrocious crime was neceasiry to the
legal establishment of his guilt, but that as it was, he had
acquired a property in his wife; and I am told that a gen-
tleman of the law has come here this day to give you evi-
dence of the custom of Scotland on this subject. And be
is, as I am informed, to tell you, that by the custom of
Scotland, if a man can steal away an infant from her legal-
guardians, by fraud and forgery, and by the same means
get her hand iu a pretended marriage contract, the act is
to be valid for the benefit of the robber who has purloined
her. But if any such gentleman, bearing the name of a
lawyer, shall this day venture to appear here for such a
purpose, I think and trust he will never hear the last of it
as long as he lives in this world--and more particularly if
it shall appear that be bob tome here voluntarily and of his
own accord, to enlighten us with this opinion. This is to
be the defence, I understand—that this lady is not a com-
petent witness. This, if true, would make law worse and
more

sense, and every principle of justice, as to offer such a de-
fence ; and I only allude to it, because such a plan has been
bruited about in this Court. If this ie the nature of the
defence; I hope you will mark it as it deserves by your
verdict.

.
The first witness was Wm. Turner,Esq.—llis daughter's
name was, he said, Ellen, and she was an only child ; on
the 12th of February, 1826 P
she was 15 years of age; her
mother was now living, but unable through illness to !it-
tend this trial; he had considerable landed and personal
property in Cheshire, where he was Sheriff last year ; his
daughter was at Miss Daulby's school, in Liverpool, for five
or six years.
Miss Elizabeth Daulby had tho charge of Miss Turner,
who was taken from her school upon the letter now put into
her hands (the witness corroborated the Counsel's state-
u3ent as to Miss Turner's leaving her school).
Cross-examined by Mr. ScaarArr—Miss Turner in of
good talents, and of an excellent disposition; of a confiding
and ingenuous cast of mind.
Mrs. Anne Brocklehart introduced Miss Davis into Mr.
Turner's family, at her earnest desire.

Grimsditch had told Miss Davis, that Mrs. Turner's
complaint was paralysis.
Mr. Bagshaw, a banker at Wakefield, said, on Tuesday,
the sth of March, 1826, Mies Davis sent to him to bor-
row 1501.; when he called upon her to pay her the amount,
Mr. E. G. Wakefield and Edward W. Wakefield came into
the room.

Other witnesses proved that the Mr. Wakefields trs'

Miss Daulby's. There a young lady got into the curia?
end it was oidered to drive for Preston.
Mrs. Holnaes, of the Bush, Carlisle, deposed, that I

he said, " she is the same Miss Turner as when I took 12,,,

me all the falsehoods he had told her; I accused ,if„
Wakefield of his perfidy, and told him I would deliver ko
to a Bow-street officer ; he said I was on the wrong e',l

He said, .' I hare treated you like a gentleman," She rr,

not there to defend his conduct of the Messrs. Wakefield ;
indeed, he had ample proof that Mr. E. G. Wakefield him-
self felt his conduct to be wrong. This, however, was not
the question they were to try. lie was sorry to be driven
to such a course of defence as that he was about to set upe
but he was bound in justice to himself to do so. He would
call witnesses to prove, that from the first moment Miss
Turner we: in the greatest spirits ; that she was on the
rnost friendly terms with Mr. W., and sat on his knee be-
fore they arrived at Gretna Green, and that this intimacy
and friendly feeling continued up to the last moment.
Mr. Baron HueLoci.—That is of no importauce ; can
you" resist that forged letter, and the taking away upon
false pretences? This offence commenced with the removal
of the lady, and what subsequently took place, at Gretna
Green, or elseveL-re, is of no consequence, though it may
affect the punishment hereafter.
Mr. Scattearer intimated that his duty to his clients)
Would compel sic .a call the witnesses.
A host of chi .irivers and waiters proved the continu-
ed apparent cheerfulness and good understanding of
the parties, all the way from Manchester to Hud-
dersfield, Halifax, Keighly, Skipton, Settle, Kirkby Lone-
dale, Kendal,•Penrith, Carlisle, and Gretna, where, on the
arrival of the party at Gretna Hall, the usual placeof mar-
tiage, the celelzated parson, David Lang, was sent for, the
ceremony was performed, the parson concluded by bidding
the bridegroom to embrace the bride, which the latter will-
Nly met, and he saluted her. After the ceremony, the
^ kindest attention seemed to be paid and received by Mr.
Wakefield and Miss Turner.
David Lang called, amidst the bus of the Court. —You

ber being eent for to a party last March ? I do.—What did
the gentleman say to you ? Witness. What did be treat

crY natural blunder of the hard-of-hearing and toddy-
'o,6l3 gentleman.)—What did he wish you to do ? Why
!° do that which I have done for many others ; to join
°ands and so on.—Did you make a bargain to do so ? I
'141..--Wae the bride quite agreeable ? 0, quite. The lady
wrote down her name, and the gentleman wrote down his
4"0. They were both very agreeable to join hands, and
at the end they both embraced one another. I asked the
144 Y for a present of a pair of gloves, and I received it from
her own hand. Mr. Welcefield gave her 20s. to give to
1,°,.e, which she did. After the ceremony was over, Mr.
jaketield asked what wine there was in the house. I told
e give you any ? Oh ! "Lilo, and he said he would have some Champaign.--Did
yes ; (with a peculiar glee which
u
toads the whole auditory join in a burst of laughtee.)—
The gentleman and lady both seemed to be in good spirits.
--Dir. Brougham—Mr. Wakefield did give me some money
as well as Champaigne. I cannot say exactly how much.
It might be about 20/. or SOl.--Mr. Brougham. Or
Perhaps 401. The witness, with a peculiar gesture, said,
he did mot keep nem:tits so nicely as to speak to a few

it was in the old form of Scotland; the ordinary form of

author of a valuable work on Ireland, and father of Messrs.

verdict was pronounced, it was received with approbation
by a crowded Court.

LANCASTER, SATURDAY MORNING.
SECOND TRIAL OE THE WALEFIELDS.

The Court was, this morning, much crowded, in the
expectation of the second trial, for the misdemeanor, being
proceeded with against the defendants, it having been fixed
for nine o'clock.

At that hour Mr. Baron Hullock took his seat on the
Bench, and the two Wakefields were in Court. Mrs. W.
did not appear.
Mr. Sergant CROSS was instructed to state, that Mrs.
Wakefield would not lie called up for judgment upon the
verdict of yesterday. This coursyvas one of mercy on the
part of the prosecutor.
A consultation was then held between Counsel, and it
was intimated by Mr. Scarlet*, that he conside:ed a ver-
dict could not be had upon the indictment for the abduc-
tion, and he thought it a waste of time to proceed with it.
Mr. Sergeant Caoss despaired of obtaining a verdict
upon the law of the case—one count of the indictment, the
fifth, would however reach the defendants.
Another consultation was then held, and, at the end of
a few minutes, the Counsel for the defendants said, they
had no objection to plead guilty to the fifth count, charging
the misdemeanour.

on their part.
The accounts from Madrid are of the most con-
tradictory description. While some 91-Ate that the
Portuguese Rebel Chiefs have been taken to Valla-
dolid only, notwithstanding' the positive assurances
[riven to the British and Portuguese Ambassadors,
that they should be sent to France, which would
imply that they were kept in readiness for future
operations against Portugal, other accounts represent
the state of the Spanish Army of Observation to be such
as to preclude the expectation that offensive opera-
tions can be undertaken. Insubordination and de-
sertion are said to exist in it to a great extent, and
General SARMELD is said to have had a private
audience of FEBDINAND, at which he stated that
the troops were not to be relied upon, and that it
would be dangerous to attempt to order them to
act against the Constitutionalists. This repre-
sentation, it is added, and not the defeat of the
Royalists, had led to the different policy which
FERDINAND seemed inclined to adopt. The army
had fallen back to Talavera. A park of artillery, from
Seville, had been counter-ordered, end OFALIA Was
to set off on his mission to London immediately.
We have no doubt that some symptoms of insu-
bordination have been manifested by the Spanish
army, but that the accounts which have reached us,
through the French Papers, are greatly exaggerated.
Perhaps, indeed, the Spanish Government have
even themselves exaggerated the reports for
the purpose of more completely masking their
designs upon Portugal, when all their preparations
are ready. At all events, the circumstances which
are published prove what the intentions of FER-
DINAND had been—and if they hare been frustrated
only by the insubordination which at present exists
in his army, the maintenance of peace rests upon a
very slight foundation.

Mr. Baron tinuncr —Then let that plea be entered.
The Prothonotary called upon Elward Gibbon and
William Wakefield, severally, to plead in the usual manner,
and the plea of Guilty being by them made, it was re-
corded.

We have been led to these remarks by the preva-
lent reports of a considerable defalcation of the Re-
venue in the present quarter, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of last year, which was itself
one of very reduced receipt : and of the embarrass-
ments which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
is said to labour under from this circumstance, end
from the Bank having hesitated to advance a further
sum to Government to meet the expected deficiency.
Of the accuracy of these reports, we have no means
of forming an opinion, but they have certainly re-
ceived some degree of confirmation from the cir-
eumstance of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
having postponed his usual financial expose, as well us
the Budget, until after the Easter Holidays. Had the
Right Hon. Gentleman had it in his power to say
any thing very encouraging, he would, without
doubt, have relieved the public anxiety on this topic.
But at all events we cannot believe that any serious
intention was entertained' to induce the Bank to
advance such a sum in the present year as would
be equal to the deficiency which will arise. We
cannot believe that it ever could be intended to give
this important question the go by in that manner,
and to postpone facing the subject till next year,
when the difficulty must be enhanced, by the termi-
nation of the existing bargain with the Bank, re-
specting the Half-pay Annuities, and the consequent
cessation of a -•ayment which has been made by
that Establishment for the last Fix years, of
2,000,000/. per annum.
Anxious as our feelings may be on the subject of
the financial situation of the country, still we repeat
our conviction, that if existing difficulties are fairly
met, means may be found to overcome them. It is
only by pursuing a system of temporary shifts and ex-
pedients, that the country will get involved in sc eh
a manner as to render it infinitely more difficult to
extricate it.

ing, and but little business has hitherto been affected. Con-

to 42f, their present price, with a good deal of business

come by it, such is the faith placed in the accounts by this
