PRESTON JUBILEE curio, SeiT. t. YESTERDAY morning was ushered in with ringing Of bells and sounding of trumpets. At all the differ ent houses where the Companies assembled, colours were flying frOm the windows, and each band of music playing ; and we May say with Milton, "And young and old came forth 'to play ;" for it wai like calling all forth to enjoy the Jubilee. This morning, accord ing to antient custom, the Ladies attended the Lady Mayoress to church in grand proceision. Soon after nine o'clock her Ladyship arrived at the Town Hall, full dressed, to receive the Ladies; who, about this time began to assemble in great number s . At one time the number of carriages was so eXtreme- IY great, that they were completely wedged up in all direttionS leading to the Hall, and although at so early an hour, some had' come from Liverpool full dressed, and numbers remained in the streets block ed up, without being able to gain access to the H a ll. Several chairs were employed to convey the Ladies 'Who reside in the town to the Hall. By about eleven o'clock near four hundred were assembled. Such an assemblage of beautiful Women has seldom been seen under one roof. Lancashire certainly ia the envy of the world for beautiful Women. The Hall was extremely crowded, and the heat so oppressive, that the Countess of DERBY had nearly faintede After some violent exertions of the Sol diers, and a great number of extra Constables whom the Mayor had very judiciously sworn in for the Occasion; provided them with very long staffs, and When they had _succeeded in forming a passage, they joined hands to each others staffs, but it was with the greatest difficulty they prevented the po. tdlace froth breaking in upon them. Th e diff e . ent Companies who 'formed the grand procession Oii Monday, arrived at the Hall with 'colours flying and music playing ; they assisted in form. , ing a passage for the Ladies. The passage be ing properly made, the Corporation, with the ToWn' s Regalia,. came out ef the Hall ;' they were follow e d by the Lady Mayoress, conduned by the Vicar of the Parish ; then followed the Ladies, two and two—the Countess of DER By and Lady CHAR. LdTtE HtißrißY (daughter of Lord DERBY) ; Lady Sfaei ; ey (daughter of Lord beady), and Lady LtsrostY ; Lady SUSAN CARPENTER and r t irs• CAINTkoRNE Lady Gi l t itAßD an d L a dy "dtiGHTON ; Lady JERNiNtHAM and Lady FITZ heitALD. The rest of the Ladies followed, two and two ; and when they had all got out of the Hall into the street., and formed the procession, it produced brie of the most Charming arid grand effeets ever beheld. The Ladies were most superbly dressed ; Bach of rherri wore an elegant fashionable plume of feathers. We cannot compare ,this to any thing but a procession of the Knights of the Garter at an Installation. , The body of the Church was allotted lot the reception of the Ladies. When they were all seated, no Church was ever attended with a greater assemblage of Beauty ; it appeared more like a grand koncert room in London, than a country church. After divine service was bier they returned irr the lirhe order they came, in grand procession through the streets to the Town Hall. Many Gentlemen attend e d them, to prevent their being annoyed by the mob. the windows and top s of t h e houses through which this uncommon and memorable She* - , passed, vette thronged with persons of the first respeetability, as was the top of the c hurch and ste epl e , an d t h e trees i n t h e c h urc h-y ar d . , 4n fad, every eeerticin and contrivance was made, only to ger a glimpse of this very novel and grand N . ht,, hut great numbers never attained this truly desirable object. We never thought to have seen 4 uch a crowd in a country town as appeared on Mon.. bur y ester d a y' s far exceeded it : Every st re e t war filled with people, and there was hardly any Possibility of passing. The different processions of the Companies parad lt",,(round the town i n t he same o rd er as they did on ` 7 ') , lay, with the additions of steam engines f or Pinni ng an d weaving, place d on h i g h stages be, aging to Mr. HORgoCKs. The lads and ,r nen 44)6 attended them were dressed in cotton dresse s . 1, a Populace gave the children shouts of applaus e 1 : th ey passed through the streets, spinning a n d ,eLaving, which seemed not to please the .youngsters Lby the smil es whielcit produced on their coUne. ranees. Numbers at e h ere f rom L on d on an d a ll p arts o f „ Kingdorn, and all express themselves astonished pleased at the sighr, and are far from regretting their long journics: The sight was allowed to sur- P"ss any thing of the kind ever seen in this Country, 4 : (1 exceeded the expedation of every one present, " 3 well in point of the brilliancy and grandeur that r t tentled i t , as in respell of the regularity and deco t urn with which it was concluded. rAt four o'clock the Mayor entertained the Cot- Ju ati on and a great number of Gentlemen at the Fo rd with a most sumptunus dinner, to which A4ord DERBY contributed a buck. A Perso n of the Mock Exchange, who had lost 4 considerable sum of money by the great fluaua it:tons in the Funds, has since made, a speculation which he has not only made up his losses, but has Lr e ttY well filled his pockets. It appears, that hay. , ~ g che ar f ully paid his differences on the last set. l i n g-day, he was in great credit, and availing 6 41 'self of t h e c i rcumstance, bought a quantity of olnium, and gave a draft upon his Banker for e n Payment o41v Ig • hick was not ho nore d, as t h ere "o effects ; lksides this, he borrowed 4001. of riu 13 roker b e l ong i ng to the House, which he pro. d l . i sed to return the next day ; instead of which he v is ne a ppeared. H an d - bill s have been stuck up near a Exchange, g i v i ng a description of his person, " offering a reward ofgol. for his apprehension. b I)Aitirlo OoTRAGE.--As Mr. Hiltbn, -of Fins outY-square; was returning home by Moor Place o r ,' Thursday evening, at a quarter before ten orclock,'he was attempted to be hustled by a gang 11 ;,eiglit or ten men, calling out, " A bullock !"'- 7 fir. Hilt on , to avoid this party, went up towards r . A. Champion's door; they followed, beat him Iv 'th their bludgeons, robbed him of his money, 4 teh i hat, and handkerchief, and went off in tr'. ,t4.l_ph. Notwithstanding he cried out " Murder" ti_veral timduring this scar, yet no one came ! ' e ar hiLa for five minutes. Dbrcii jAr.6Aris. ST. PETERSBURGH; JULY ts: . THE two Duteh Naval Officers, Capt. 'tient. Von NES and Lietit; SOLDAEN, appeared to-day on the parade, with the thirty-four prisoners of war last arrived from Holland; accompanied by Cititen SOLDAEN, Secretary of the Batavian Legation here, the Minister, Citizen BUYS, being prevented by illness. After the Troops haq filed off, the two Officers were presented by the Secretary to the EMPEROR, who sent them each on the following day, by Prince KURAKIN, an elegant and valuable diamond ring, as a mark of esteem for their atten_ tion to the Russian prisoners during the voyage . The day before yesterday His Royal Highness PRINCE \VILLIAM of GLOUCESTER arrived here in the Latcna Frigate. To-morrow a grand En tertainment will be given at Peterhof; in honour of the name-day of the EMPR Ess Do WAG E it, and of the Great Dutchess MARIA PAWLOWNA. The Russian American Company continues to give more and more extent to this branch of com merce, which, in rime, will undoubtedly become of high importance to Russia. It is now employed in a plan which is of the greatest consequence, not only to the trade, but also to the honour of Russia. It is going to fit out two ships, which arc to sail from this place with a cargo of provisions, an chors, cables, rigging, &c. to sail round the Southern extremity of America, across the South Sea, to the North West Coast of America, and the Aleusian Islands, to supply the Russian establish ment there, with these necessaries—take in a cargo of furs, to be bartered in China for Chinese goods, to make by the way. an establishment at Urup, one of the most Southerly of the Kurile Islands, for the greater convenience of the trade to Japan ; and then to return from China by the Cape of Good Hope. The ships will be wholly manned with Russians, and the Emperor, who highly approves of the plan, has orde re d t h at t h e best Officers and sailors of the Navy may be employed in the Expe dition. As this is the first voyage round the world un dertaken.by Russians, no pains are spared to assure to the Expedition a happy result. The command of the ships is given to Capt. KRURNSTERN, who has been long in the East Indies, and was the first proposer of the plan. For the formation of the establishment at Urup, the Company have engaged an Englishman residing here, at an annual salary of 15,000 roubles, for three years, and a douceur of zo,ooo roubles : he is also to superinteud there the building of the necessary Ships. Hitherto all the above necessaries have been transported a vast way by land carriage, at an enormous expence to the Company. That , no time may be lost, these two ships will be purchased at Hamburgh, will sail on their voyage from that port in Oc tober. • BERLIN, At:G. ;E. YESTtRDAY His Excellency Count ALv NSL B EN, Minister of State, proceeded to the opening of the last will and testament of His ROyal Highness the deceased Prince HENRY of PRusslik, - in the presence of several Deputies of the respeetive• illustri ,us• heirs of the Prince's Treasury Chamber. • On the open. 'ing of the second cover was found a French super scription, in the Princes's own hand-writing, ad. dressed to His Majesty the King, on which the will was immediately sent by an expreis to His Majesty to be opened. His Excellency then . she Wed, in a very appropriate speech, th at no Prince of tlie Blood, according to the existing laws, was autho rised to make a will without a special permission from the highest autheitity, and that therefore i t must be entirely left to His Maje st y to signify finally his gracious pleasure; and on this the De... puties were dismissed. AUGUST 24. The Hereditary Prince and Princess of MEM LEN BOURG-SCHW E R will pay a visit to their Majesties in September, at the time of.the Autumnal Reviews, at Potsdam. • The deceased Prince HENRY received from his brother the great FREDERICK, Ater the seven years war, a guard of honour, of az Hussars, under the command of an Officer whom the Prince himself was to choose. ..- The last who had this command was the Count RocHs AYMON. The Corps was maintain ed by the King, from whom the Officer received 600 dollars. Twelve men kept guard in the Prince's apartment at ReinSburg; and nine were stationed in • the Provost-house at Magdeburg. Soon after the death . of the Prince, His Majesty wrote a friendly letter to Prince FERDINAND ) and honoured him, as eldest Prince of the House, with the distindioo of a guard, at the country palace, Bellevue, near Ber lin. The Prince, deeply affesfed by this kindness, has accepted the disrindion, and given the command to Major de WAR TENBERG, Governor of his yoarigest son. _ _ . The Russian Ambassador, M. ALOP/EUS, IS re turned : the English Ambassador, Mr. jAcKsoN, is not expeeted here before the end of five weeks. The Officers sent by His Majesty some time ago to Russia to buy horses, have been received at Pe tersburgh in the most distinguished manner by the Emperor, with whom they had the honour to dine. They will go zoo G,!rman miles into the country, to buy the finest horses. Many Couriers of Wirtemberg and Sardinia, have lately passed through this City for Paris and Petershurgh. A shocking affair happened on Wednesday night 'at Margate.—The Hon. 8— D—, and. some other Irish Gentlemen, having invited a country man of theirs, who belongs to the Theatre, to din ner, and having (as is frequently the case with Gentlemen of that Country) drank very freely 'till three o'clock in the morning, the Son of Thespi! l and two others, went to the Shakspeare Tavern, where being refused liquor; a quarrel ensued, in which the waiter got so roughly handled, that his life is said to be in danger. The parties were ap prehended the next morning ; and sent to Dover Castle, to wait the event of the poor fellow's re. cover?. MoNzistic otbEl2 • 'OF Li--.ikA.i,Pk.

This Celebrated Monastic Order was of French origin ; and one of the niOSt aditcite and .Self-deny_ ing •of all the institution' of this nature. One strong instance of their unsocial and unnatural dis cipline is the profound silence that is enjoined them, and which is never broken unless on very extra ordinary occasions;' and with the leave of the Su perior of the Con-vent. 'They shun the sight of women, and in their diet 'are so abstemious, that they live solely on Vegetables, never tasting fish, flesh or wine. Their employment between their religious rites are generally the cultivation of their garden, or any other manual labour. The founder of this Order was a French Noble man, BOUTHILLIER Comte DE RANCE, a man of pleasure and dissipation, which were suddenly,con. versed into the deepest devotion and melancholy by the following circumstance. His affairs had obliged him to absent himself for some time from lady with whom he had lived in the most intimate and tender connexion. On his return to Paris, he contrived means, in order to surprise her agreeably,_ and to satisfy his impatient - desire of seeing her, of going without ceremony, or - preVious notice to her apartinent. But what must his horror and astonishment have been, whena he ficheld her 'a life less corpse—disfigured beyrind conception by the small pox, and a surgeon in the a 1 of separating the head from the body, because the c(iffin had been made too short ! His faculties instantly were suspend ed, and for some time his limb 3 were unable to per form their office. On coming to his self 'posses sion, he abruptly retired from the world to a etni vent, where he instituted the Order of Monks in question, ;tad spent the remainder of his days in , a&s of self mortA•at ion and devotion. The lively and ingenious Lady' M. W,. MONTA. cur, makes the following retuark',, after visiting one of those Societies, which was established be_ twecn Ficrenzuola and Florence. " I can not well form a notion," • says her Lady.: ship, " of that spiritual and ecstatic joy, which - is mixed with sighs, groans, hunger and thirst, and the other complicated inis:.!ries of monastic discipline. It is a strange way of going to work for happiness, toexite an enmity between soul and body, which Nature and Providence haVe designed to live toge ther in union and friendship, and which we can_ not separate, like man and wife, when thq happen to disagree." The sentiments of the acute and discriminating Mr. SOUTH FY, however; do not seem to be in unison upon this topic with those of her Ladyship. Speaking . of Monastic Institutions in general, he says— , 4 When I reprobate Monasteries, let me ex " cept LA TRAPPE—The . asylum of the wretched 4 4 —What wisdom might not be .thlleaed from the '4 history of those•men ? Men, who have retired '' to dig their own graves, and labour in a silence " not enforced by Vows, yet rendered eternal by inclination ! Who can read thelnsetiption over " the portal, and enter-?"

Halfpepce and farrhinis Were . not in the times of the Saxons and Normans an original coinage, as they now are, but made part of the penny, which bore the King's image on one side, and on thereversei the name of the city where coined, and a cross so deeply indentA, that it might easily be broken in halves, which were then called half-pence, and these again separated were named fourthings,'or,,as now corrupted, farthings. - The Coromandel, for Botany Bay, not having arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 26th of May, some apprehensions are entertained ,for her, on account of the insurtelion of the Con yids' on board the Hercules and Atlas. The Perseus,, Da. vidson; had made a good voyage, and the Captain % . vas in hopes of landing bit the Convias in safety at Botany Bay. Yesterday as ngig with a Gentleman and Lady in it was passing along the St:and, it caught the wheel of another carriage passing at the same time near Exeter Change., in consequence .of which the gig. was broken,- and the Gentleman and Lady both thrown out,. but they fortunately received little in. jury. Last Saturday night two of the Dutch Officers be ing on shore at Torbay, quarrelled about a Lady, and, being heated with wine and rage, drew their hangers, and fought desperately : one of them re ceived a dreadful cut across his skull, and the other athwart his four fingers. About half past six on Thursday afternoon ; part of the parapet on the top of one of the embrasures of St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet -street, weighing nearly two hundred weight, by some accident gave way, and fell on the paAment.
