...cination was in their glances—their smiles would „ A ve cheered the desponding heart of the poor Captain Barrie, or harmonized the manners of Mr. Cobbett. An Irishman once said that the best feature in a woman's tace was her legs ; by the same figure of speech I may sit that the lady-witches of Preston, though not in t ;,e procession at all, were much the handionsest part of ' t h e procession. But the devil of it was, that scarcely a •oul of them wore the successful colours, orange and green. No, theirs was the saile•r's colour, blue. P roved faithful to the manly jolly Tory tar to the last. line blue,* even in the face of the triumphant foes, dr.:) , a ever struck their colours, but waved them undauntedly Prer the orange and green, fearless alike of the aristocrat Whig and the democrat Reformer. Their beautiful rioglets were bound up in blue—blue fluttered round white brows; blue clasped their necks and blsotn, ; I:ve fl rated from their white little hands ' • and blue en- . ,orclt..l their sylphean waists . _Of the last mentioned :,be and its contents a true blue Tory would, in the oullition of his political zeal, exclaim with Atterbury 4' Give me but what that ?gonad bound; Take all the rest the non goes malt" After the crowd (for it had neither the order nor splendour of a biic procession) had brought their favourite Members (dead tired) i :c.k to their Hotels, Mr.WOOO edified them with a speech, but Mr. STAN -I.IIY set off fur his grandfather's (Earl Derby), half an hour after the favour of his procession was over. At eight o'clock Mr. Cobbett appeared, and thus addressed the crowd from his Inn: Gentlemen of Pr e.ton—(Hutrair)—lt it now four seeks. since I entered your tows just one calendar math, the happiest month I have spent since the first aionth.l was mars led.—(A laugh )—Gentlemen,wo have had a tough battle of it, and we have fought it bravely. My enemies said I was gone; but Gentlemen, they are gone, themselves this very evening; they have sneaked ~at of town under the cover of the night, whilst I shall march out to morrow morning, in the face of the bright and open day light.—(From the crowd, "the devil go with you.")—l have told you, Gentlemen,that this would be no election, and that I will prove, if there is life in me. (Hum:4 •As to the colour (green) to which somuch im portance has been attached, it is like a deleterious plant that poisons all things on which it sheds its venomous hue—an evergreen Gentleman—a deadly hue—a night shade; but we are the persons who will. destroy this composition of green wood and orange flowers. I'll pluck it up by the roots. (Laughter). Lord Stanley was not content with bringing in one Member, his dandy son, but he must hook on a second. if the connexion stands —if this poor creature, Wood, continues your Member, Earl Derby will be able to lay his claws on your borough, as easily as any other,titlatyrarit rules any close borough in England; so that poor Wood, like a young bear,has all his sorrows befote him. I told you that you ought ; to have one Merriber, at least, experienced, clever, and , able to dia ye good. I said that I had no claims. if I vete notable to do some good for ye. Woodacknow. ledges he is not able to do any good %rye ; he is a timid, uembling, creature, and incompetent to serve the in. terests of your fine town of Preston. I have the real majority of votes—the hearts of the people—(Huns.) I thank you from the bottom of my beam. The publ c spirit of the tosyniof Preston is greater than I ever met with, evn hi:America. I never can be sufficiently grateful to you. I never shall forget the honest and in dependent town of Preston. Your spew of hands the St dal' of the election proved to me and the world ibai I was the man of your c hoice. Good night." (Marra.) Tlie Committees of the several Candidates are now busily .employed in discharging the different claims cn aCCOSIIIL of the election. It is a sad reckoning with some. An idea may be formed of the scale of expense from the following : Staff Alen . . Es. per day each Messengers . Si. per day Captains of Messenger, . Ss. per day Bandmen (Mr. Cabbett's) . Es. per day Do. (Mr. Wood's) . 10s. per day Do. Mr. Stanley's . . es. per day The difference in the payment is accounted for by the drams. stanct that Mr. Stanley's men were hired at a time when the' market was low, and !dr. Wood's when it was very high fades* About four o'clock this day the ceremonial of a mock chairing took place through the principal streets of Preston. It was indeed a most amusing specimen of practical burlesque. The Committee of Management consisted of four ex-weavers, who have devoted the whole twenty-four hours in each day of the last fortnght to the amusement of getting drunk. The first thing they required of those who wished to do honour to the occasion, was, that they should not be able to snore three feet without assistance. About 60 exceed. ingly drunk and very wofully-attired persons, formed themselves into a sort of procession, being under the necessity of leaning against the wall for a considerable t.me before it could advance. The beadle of the parish was the person chosen for the very perilous duty of occupying the triumphant chair on the occasion, and nothing but a perfect oblivion as to all things could surely have made him insensible to the dangers he was abcut ie encounter. By the help of one or two by standers, he was first cf all placed in a crazy one legged chair, and in that state he and the chair were abandoned to the doubtful support of five or six of the party. 'They began to move—it was an est-- quisite scene—the principal persons wore some very coarse Boer in the absence of hair powder; two worn out brooms served to remind the spectators of flags and banners; and one blind fiddler performed the musical functions required by the occasion. Such a spectacle was the ragged line of poor drunken creatures. They went this way, they went that ; zig-zag was the order of the movement. Such cursing, such jogging, such blubbering ; but to I the eccleciastical establishment bad almost been curtailed of its beadle. The chair, after a variety of " all buts," absolutely fell, and with it the poor beadle. No accident happened; he was put to sleep. STATE OP THR POLLS. Mennen Osborne Adeane 3347 116 567 nom, pm Is.

Sme hundred persons were killed on both sides, and several houses and ware houses were plundered. the Oriented Spectator of Smyrna states that on the SOtb of April, being Easter Sunday, according to the Greek Calendar, the Greeks at Smyrna celebrated that festival with solemnity and with the greatest trancoillity. The Turkish guard under arms preserved order and' quirt. Public games on a spot by the sra side afforded ' the Greeks of all ages various kinds of amusement at very moderate prices. Nothing occurred to distdrb these festivities, which continued to the 3cl of May. Hence the Journslist infers that religion has nothing to do with the Greek insurrection. Capt. HAMILTON displays great activity and humanity in his command in the Greek Archipelago, and many individuals, both Turks and Greeks, have been rescued by him from horrible deaths. As the piracies of the Greeks increase, his force is now as mach employed in punishing these buocaniers u in succouring the dis. tressed.

The issisiriaa Observer vt the 18th lust. states, on the apthor:ty of accou' ts from St. Pttersburgh of the Bth inst t'l.4 the answer of the Ott iman Poi t: to the Rut zian ultimatum, had been received in that capital with greav saVistaction; and that Count WORONZOIT and M. ffitaltetl,llAOßlS had been appointed to settle all minor point. with the, Turkish CoMmissioners, who were to meet on the 13th inst, at Ackermann, for t at purpose. We have heard from the City, that two Gentlemen deeply interested in Turkish and Egyptian affairs, one of whom has been principally iiistriimental in provi sioling the Turkish fortresses, and the other of whom pu.chased the London Engineer steam vessel last year for the Paella of Egypt, have addressed in their own names, and in those of a few of their friends, a Petition to Mr. CANNING, requesting him, in pursuance of our system of neutrality, to prevent Lord COCHRANE from acting against the Turks, and to lay an embargo on the resources destined for him. Surely, of all persons, these should be the last to mabe a similar applicatidn ; they are, no doubt, well calculated to teach the Right Honottrable Gentleman the priticlples on which he should act.—Times. Accounts from the frontiers of Spain, of the 20th of Juttc, state that the report which was circulated for se veral days past,of the withdrawing of the garrisons of Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Juice, by the French, appears now to be confirmed, and the garrison* of Ma- Idrid will be reinforced by $OOO troops Irons Cadiz. It appears also certain, that tbe,Duke L'hanriTADO and CALOMARDE will retire from Office. GREENOCK, JUNI 24.—Wednesday afternoon, a fire was discovered at the west end of Crawfordsdyke, io a yard at the rear of a granary possessed by Messrs. Fairrie and Company. How the fire originated is not -distinctly known, but when first observed, a conside rable portitin of a shed erected against the walls of the granary had become ignited, and owing to the dryness of the timber, from the great drought, was soon en veloped in flames. From the combustible quality of every thing around, and the contiguity of the above building, it also soon became involved in the confiafira don, and the flan/es spread so rapidly that, notwith standins the continued application of the engines, with a plentiful supply of water, the fire gained such an as. eendancy that in a short time the whole broke out into one volume of flame, and in little more than an hour the entire building was reduced to a heap of smoking ruins. The extent of the loss is nett yet fully known, but. a quantity of grain, then in the granary, has been ' consumed. ST. STEPREWS, Mrakfc446llll6ET. • The election of a Vicar. foilria . Parish soalaafac ed this morning in the Parish Church, in consequence of the Court of Chancery having decided that the one' which took place in MS was illegal, owing to the votes of the parishioners having been taken by bell 't instead of viva' vote. 0 r the former occasion the Rev. Josiah Pratt, the candidate opposed to the Rev.eir.. Fayle, was elected by a majority of three votes ; but in a short time after, the friends of the lanter.Gentlemaa thinking the election illegal, and there being no mode of ascertaining who were to be cons dered as parish ioners, the charter vesting in the parish the privi lege of selecting its own Paster having been burned in the Fire of London, filed a bill in Chancery, praying . that either Mr. Fayle be declared the Vicar, or Mr. Pratt's election be recclered void; after many and fre quent arguments on the :object, the Chancellor was pleased to comply with the latter part of the prayer, and out of.it has arisen the present election. The interests of the candidates appear nicely balanced, and the contest has excited as roach liveliness of feeling and trickery of manoeuvre, as those that are going on with far different objects in other parts of the country. The High Church of England party, and the aristo- . cracy of the parish, are in favour of Mr. Fayle; while the Dissenters, of every hue and shade, are straining all their powers to promote the succ e s s o f M r . P r a t t. The good wishes of the tradesmen also are said. to be with the latter Gentleman, but' they are unwilling to come. 'forward, fearing to disoblige their employers, and. are, with their assistance, .instead of participating in the bustle of the election, enjoying themselves in. the plea. sures of a country excursion. The Quakers were willing to support Mr. Prat, .but an impediment presented itself. A short time since they had a meeting on the subject, when it was determined that though their good wishes were with the Reverend Gentleman, if they voted, it would be involving them selves in an inconsistency, tor they would thus i zrise the right of a Protestant Clergyman to de his, clerical dues. Beth the Candidates have their Com mittees, and bills explanatory of their respective merits have been put in circulation. The Church, in anticipation of the severity of the contest, was prepared for the occasion ; barriers were placed at the ends of the side aisles through which the voters ate admitted, and at the chancel, hustings were erected, which, in solidity, would have done boom to a country election. Before nine o'clock the candidates, accompanied by their friends, made their appearance. The senior Church warden, Mr. Smith, was the presiding officer, and Mr. Pollock attended as Counsel for Mr: Pratt, and Mr. Nolan for. Mr. Fayle. After the Rev. Gentlemen were 'put in nomination, the polling proceeded rapidly. The numbers up to two o'clock stood thus : Rev. Mr. Pratt . . . 16$ Itev. Mr. Fay!. . . 146 AEROSTATION. Yesterday was the time appointed for the ascent of GrahaM's balloon, at the Whi,e Conduit Gardens. Among other indOcements which ornamented the gay posting bills, announcing the spectacle, was a statement that 11Iiis Stock!, the young Lady who escaped with life at the time of Mr. Harris's t ttastropbe, would ac company Mrs. Graham io the aerial regtons. This was well imagined, as to all 'roe lovers of &hews, the sight of a Lady, who had ascended in a balloon, and barely avoided destruction, about to subject herself to similar dangers, must be peculistly agreeable. Accordingly, 1 )ng before the apparatus we prepared, the Gardens were thronged with persons, on the very tiptoe fif ex pectation to see this dauntless female. The machine was, however, filled, innumerable pilots were sent up, 'guns were fired, Mrs. G. took her seat. and still no'Miss Stocks appeared. What the reason was, whether suffi cient gas could not be procured, or Miss Stocks's heart failed her, remains a secret. Certain it. however, is, that Mrs. Graham ascended alone, although in a *err delicate situation : she exhibited no signs of alatin ' but waved her flags, and smiled triumphantly. The ma chine rose, with majestic slowness, in a north:east by east direction. Unfortunately, it had scarcely proceeded beyond the limits of' the Garden, when it deicended among the neighbouring houses. By fleeing it of same of its ballast, it again mounted, and continued its Muse in the same direction, at about a hundred, or a hundred and fifty feet from the ground: The • premature descent of the balloon occasioned great anxiety for the safety of'the fair traveller, and the company in the gardens made a simultaneous rush from thence to the adjacent fields. The machine rose again, however, to a moderate height, and was again borne slowly before the wind. The greater part of the company returned to the gardens of the tavern, and there awaited anxiously for some tidings of the aeronaut, of whose return they had been confidently assured.-- Various reports were circulated in the course of the evening, some of them of a disastrous nature . ; but at length, on the return of Mr. Adams, and others who had set nut with the purpose of meeting Mrs. Graham, it was learnt that she had alighted in safety, and in ex cellent spirits, near the Green, at . Stoke Newin . gtoll. The company, generally, however, appeared in some uncertainty, wail the arrival of Mr. Graham himself, about ten o'clock, who publicly assured them of Mrs. Graham's safety. The rent at which Mr. Bun has taken Diury-lane Theaste, it is said, is 12,5001 per annum. • - A horrible accident occurred near Leinster on-Wed nesday se'nni;ht. Two drays, on their way to Water. ford, laden with goods and a cask of gunpowder, whey arrived at the door of a man named Hoban, were blows to atoms by the explosion of the gunpowder, and two young men lost their lives, and two others, with a wo man and child, were dreadfully maimed: the men are since dead. Two of the young men and the woman were the sons and the daughter of Hogan. Two houses were blown down, and quickly consumed to ashes. 'The drays, with their iron axles, were shivered to pieces, and large bales of cloth, parcels of silk stockings, quantities of tea, books, paper, deal planks, and other articles that composed the loading of the two cars, were scattered in fragments, and blazing in every direction, and pre• sorted an awful appearance, heightened by the almost frantic wailings of the unhappy Hoban and his wife, who beheld the wreck of their family and property thus accomplished in a few mon.ents. Some of the burned fragments were driven so high, by the force of the explosion, as to be carried nearly a mile from the spot. A certain Alderman of Norwich, as much gifted as suck 'death:so= are usually apt to be, reputed so author to write a speech fee him, to deliver at the Guildhall, I most drat dime %with/vat" replied the scribe, aud see how you open your smooth, that I way kaow what surf of words wilt fit it. • !;
