Trial o T Barnum at Fork, SC.

jTiuf OF fi0keT-fuTUHW az ~ OTh, &C.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The Court of Oyer and
Terminer wa. crowded yesterday. the attraction
hcing the trial of the dstngui she'd "bruiser,"
Bak er, for the murder of Poole. The prisoner
was in the best of spirits, talking AMI conversng
with his friends land even indulg ng in an occa-
sional ,ioke.) In short Baker is tho lion of the
hour, and the gentleman evidently has aproud
appreciation of his position.
The District Attorney, Mr.. Hall, opened the
case for the prosecution. after which Cyrenus
Harris. and Mr. Dean, (the latter proprietor of
Stanwix Hall, where the murder perpetra-
ted were called to testify; after which the
Court adjourned until to-day. When Baker was
led out OF the court room OH his way to his cell.
the anxiety to him was intense. number
of rutfians in the crowd endeavored to get up
three cheers" but notwithstanding the vaga-
bondism around and about, it was a failure.
Barnum it is said is about to erect an i'm
mense equestrian and dramatic establishment
similar to Astlcy's, in London. He has bought
piece of land in Broadway, above Bleecher ST.,
for that purpose, and has perfected all his plans
In order to enable himself to devote his whole
time to this project, he has sold the American
Museum collection to Mr.. John Greenwood, Jr..
and Mr.. Henry, d. Butler
1t is on dit that Mr.. Greeley will spend the
winter at Washington, as the special represen-
,atve and correspondent OF his journal.
