PREITON, SEPT. it: Th:s morning a public breakfaft was given by A.tPINALL, at his houfe in the Fifhergate.— ittPINALL, _ _ The tables were furnithed by Mr. V.Tauti, of Liver pool. The company was numerous and &lea. In the evening we conclude our Jubilee with a r ani hlalouerade which is to be held in the Town HAI and Guild FLU. *chi% day refembled the commencement of the ‘ u , ,;i ee , for carriages were arriving in the town ing the whole of the day, from different parts of the country, with families and parties, to view fa novel a fpecies of amufement as a Mafquerade in the country. Soon after eight o'clock, the company began to ?tremble. The 'galls were very tallefully hung with laurels and different forts of evergreens, fo as to make them have the effea of a grove. The company continued coming till part eleven o'clock, when, contrary to our expeaation, although the admiffion was one guinea, the Halls were com pletely filled, fo that there was hardly a poffibility of moving. There were fuppofed to be one thou- fand perfons affembled, of which feveral hundreds fupported charaaers. The following charatiers dcferve notice :—Lord GAINS IR aCted the Grand 'jerk extremely well; Lord STAN try, as a Spaniard, was drefed molt fuperbly ; a Reeruitiag Seryant, with a Drummer and Fifer, and the Aylward Squad, caufed much mirth. There mull have been great pains taken in the feleaion of the Aylward Squad, as they were almoft all deformed. Dr. BARNSLEY, of Manchefter, in the charaaer of Donor Yea 'fade 3:aulenEergiur, High German Hebrew Doctor—this eharaaer was one of the principal entertainments of the evening, and was allowed by every body to be the bell fupported, both as to drefs, language, etc. ; he frequently harangued the company for year twenty minutes, from a bench, with the_great ell fluency of language, in the true gitack Donor ftyle. Major BROOKS, who is fix feet two inches high, in the charaaer of a Girl ie leaden: firing:, at tended by his Wurfi, afforded a deal of amufement in playing childith tricks, and running away from his Arstrfi, &c. Lady FITSOSRALD appeared as a Savoyard, with a tamborine, which the played ex tremely well ; her Ladyfhip was attended by two Lep with a hurdy gurdy and a triangle. Mr. Jitaximonan as &mkt, was dreffed moll elegantly : he wore a very coftly lace ruff. Mrs. Juan Imo oast was the twos in Hoak, and a more elegant figure never graced that charaaer : (he was dreffed in black velvet, richly embroidered with filver. Mr. WATSON, the eminent cotton miusufaaurer of this town fuftained the charafter of a Waggoner fo ex tremely well, that although he was quizzed by great numbers, and is extremely well known here, yet he was not difcovered by above three or four. There were a number of Narkpeisit, but fuch a Pet of heavy heeled ones never attempted the charac ter : they were only entitled to the name from the glrefs, 'Two Burlefque Dances took place, with the greateft contra& of charaaer : One was be tween the *peel Dam, Major BROOKS as the In firm, an Old ad, and a Demise. The other was between Lord ,Srantaty, who is at leaft fix feet high, as a Staisar4 the Ire" a 7nr, • aid the Devi/ 1 they were in a fhort time joined by a IFAt. pow and a Scaraareach: they formed the um& mot ley groupe ever beheld, and afforded great amufe ment to the fpeaaton. The J ew was extremely well fupported both in drefs ananguage ; he fold fpeaacles and telefcopes numbers toed to dif cover him, but did not fucceed. We have h have thus cha as a end i eavourrt was thetogive opini on a (ketch ni of the nu mero u s of many who have been in the habit of attending Mal querades in London, that this was one of the hee they ever witneffed. The Mayor and Mayorefs were in the room, full drefred, but not mated. At twelve O'clock, the company began to retire down Rain to rapper, and although every precau tion had been taken by printed inftruaions being hung up, Paying only a certain number could be accommodated with (upper at one time, and giving • direatons for the company to go down one flight of ftairs and return by another, yet the greateft fame of confufion took place ever beheld: both flair: got completely filled, as did a large paffage, fo that thofe who were in the (upper-room could not get out, and thofe who were out could not get in ; numbers of dreffes were torn—Ladies (cream ing and fainting, but uo affiftance could be given ; the prefure was unavoidable. When the door was got open by violence, piles of China plates were knocked down and broke to pieces, the moll choice eatables trod under foot, ancithe Tupper-room was fo completely filled that the waiters could not get near the door to fupply the company. A fcene pre tented itfelf which is rarely to be feen : Noblemen and Ladies of diflinaion glad to ufc knives, forks, and plates that had been ufed before, cat what had been left by others, and drink out of glaffes that had been ufed. The fcene continued for above two hours, and the company did not fcparatc till fix o'clock. On Saturday there was a public dinner at the Ball: Colonel PATTEN, M. P. one of the Stewards of the Races, was in the chair, when the follow ing toafts were propofed:—. The sterrirdLeises who have attested the jubliee,and thanks to them for the large concavities they have made to the Guild. Tbe imearrkl Lao and may they, by salted exertions, toolaute doubly to the nest Guild. Thefe toafts were drank with enthefiallic ap- Plattfe. We cannot finifh our account of the Jubilee with out obferving, that every banger (tensed much delighted with the reception they met with from the Gentlemen of the Corporation, and the town 'ft general, and did not lament the long journics they had taken for the enjoyment of Inch a conti. hued fcene of pleafure. All the principal inhabi- Nuts feemed to lay themfelves entirely out for the accommodation of their friends. In faa, alnsoft every defers tan of perfons have rc ft ed from their labours during the whole time of this memorable Jubilee. The Manufaaurers prepared for the en joyment of it a confiderable time before the com mencement by working over hours, and leaving eke money in their mailer's hands to sp en d a t th e uuild ; and we have to obferve, much to their timid poMbly be expdted under the eircuraances. The lower dais of people have concluded them (elves in a very orderly manner.—Many of onr pot honfes exhaulled their flock of ale, and brewed during the Jubilee, and fold the beer in a few days after it had been brewed. The Bull Inn has taken Isool. for wine and liquors during the Jubilee, and every other Inn in proportion. RAMSGATE, SEPT. i 4. The fafhionable lounge, a few evenings fence,' was at Signiora Morelle's, on Sion Hill. The amufement was that lady's fcientific performance on the grand pedal harp, accompanied by an un-, commonly fine counter tenor voice. A beautiful overture, and one of Bairn's fongs, were raptu ronfly encored. None but fubfcribers were ad mitted : the fubfcription ss. Lord SAY and Slur gives a grand dinner this day at Broadflairs.

Lafi night, at the Rooms, a very unpleafant event happened, which for a Ilion time diflurbed the parties concerned, and interrupted the harmo ny which pervaded the whole a(Tembly. A gen tleman, who entered the room much intoxicated, not only addrelred a Lady of the firll refpedability with much freedom, but ailed in other refpeas in a very unbecoming manner. Her Ladylhip, ac cording to her accullomed condefcenfion, took no other notice of this improper behaviour than giving the intruder a forbidding look ; but a continuance of the fame irregularity of condua provoked the Lady to fpeak to Mr. D• who interfered. This induced Mr. B. to obferve he was a Gentleman of good property in the Welt Indies. " Why then," Paid Mr. D. " you ought to be fent there to look after it ;" and accordingly, the waiters were em ployed to condua the Gentleman out of the room, which was foon accomplithed without much diffi culty. _ _ _ The promenade yellerday evening on the pier, was numeroufly attended by throngs of well. dread females. Margate . never difplayed a greater blaze of beauty. This day- being uncommonly fine, the public breakfail at the Profpea Houfe was better attend ed than ufual. A balloon was• announced to af tend at two o'clock from the lawn, but, on trial, it met with the fame fate as the reft; it built in filling. • Lady HEATHCOTE'S bays continue to aura& the envious eyes of the belles of Margate, left emi nently diftinguithed.

Captain BAILIY, of the /loop Lively, arrived from New Providence at New London, informs, that on the r4th of July there was brought into New Providence a pilot boat fchooner, mounting a number of fwivels, manned with 36 men, corn miffioned by ,General Bovnas, who commands the Indians to the Southward. The following in formation the Governor of New Providence re ceived from a Dutch boy, who bad been taken out of a Spanifh %TIM and kept on board the priva teer for Tome time, but afterwards made his efcape and got down to New Providence. That the pri. vateer had taken three Spanifh veifelb, plundered them, gave the people the boat, and burnt the veffels. That while he was onboard the privateer, they hailed a veffel under American colours and brought her to, fent their boat on board, and af ter Tome time returned with a large Turn of money in the boat ; they burnt the veil, and the lad fuppofes they made the crew walk overboard, as there was none of them brought on .board the pri vateer. The lad further lays, that General Bow Les had commiffioned three other veftels, with orders to burn, fink and deftroy, all Spanifh velrels they could meet with. After receiving the above in formation from the boy, the Governor of New Providence armed a brig and fent her out with a (loop of war in fearch of the pirate ; in. a few days they brought her in, and have lodged them all in irons on board a (loop of war. The Captain's Corarniffion was figned by General Bow Las.— There was a number of New Providence men on board the pirate when taken. Captain TEAL!, of the brig Eagle, arrived on Sunday laft at Wilmington (Del.), in twelve days from Martinique, informs that Martinique was in polfeffion of the Britiih when the Eagle failed.— It was to be given up to the French on the iBth, but the Prefea, who arrived tome time, requefled the Britith to hold it till the French, who were ex• peeed early ,ia Auguft, arrived. Many people were facrificing their property at auaion in order to leave the ifiand previous to the French taking polreffion of it. It is fuppofed the condua of the French at Guadaloupe and Hifpaniola, towards the Americana, will be futicient to deter the latter frqm :irking their, property at Martinique, as the fame iniquitous game will, no doubt, be played at that place.

Within the laft 15 days of Augult,there entered the port of Calais 59 packet boats, Englifh and French, bringing from England 921 paffengers. There failed from the fame port, during the fame time, 55 packets with 540 paffengers.
