- GENTLEMEN—The business being settled, allow
me to make a few observations to you. It you are
satisfied, after you come trout St. Paul's, and you
have been to his Majesty with the Address, to take
a bit of cold roast beet, and that only, I &hall be glad
to see all of you 7at the Mansion-house."
This invitation was foiluwed by txpresions of -ap-

On Friday night a daring outrage was committed
at Preston, where a' party of harmless rustics had
as;•!tnbled at the farm of Mr. Swan, butcher, of
North Shields, to celebrate Harvest Home. • In the
.midst of their sport, eight sailors, who were_ on
the look out for mischief, thundered at the door for
admittance to join the dance, which being denied,
they broke the windows and doors in pieces, and
entered by force, where a general engagement en-
acted. The sailors being the stronger party, became
masters of the held of battle, when they broke every
article •in the house to pieces, and struck and used
the females in a gross and unbecoming manor.
Their viClory, however, was short lived ; the press
gang being informed of the transaction, arrived
time to secure five, of the depredators, but being
proteC•ied men, they were obliged to be turned over
to the civil law, and are noun lodged in.the.Correc-
tion House of Iydemouth, to take their trials at the
Sessions.
