PRESTON GUILD FESTIVAL

PRESTON', SEPT. 14.—(THE MASQUERADE.)—This en-
tertainment, which has closed the amusements of this memorable
Festival, took place, by appointment, last night, in the New
Exchange-rooms.
The foundation-stone of a new church, on the Fylde-road,
was laid on Thursday, by Mr. Justice Park (Recorder of the
Borough), attended by the Mayor and Corporation. The
ground was presented for the,purpose by J. A. Park, jun. Esq.,
son of the Recorder. The Learned Judge mad:: an appropriate
speech on the occasion, and the Rev. Vicar, Mr. Wilson, offer-
ed up a prayer, during the delivery of which, a woman was de-
tected in stealing a watch from the side of a lady.
The Mayoress's Public Breakfast was attended by at least
700 persons, comprising all the personages of rank and distinc-
tion who have visited the Guild. The refreshments were most
liberal and excellent. The appearance of the room filled with
Ladies in the most elegant costume, was of the most dazzling
description.
The Concert at the Theatre in the evening was well attended,
and the performances of Mr. Braham, Mr. Kellner, and other
eminent vocalists, were rapturously received.
The Oratorio at the Church on Friday, being the List Musi-
cal Meeting, was graced by a very numerous and distinguished
auditory, and the exertion of the vocal performers in that su-
blime compositiOn 44 The Creation," excited the warmest ad-
miration. The principal performers were Madame Camporeso,
Signora Mori, Miss Goodall, Master Smith, Mr. Braham, Mr.
Kellner, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Isherwood.
A subscription has been set on foot by the Committee of
Management to remunerate Mr. Livingston for the loss of his
balloon, which is estimated to have been worth 5001.
The visitors to Preston are now leaving very fast, and the dif,.
ferent places of entertainment are, in consequence, about to close

Notwithstanding the contradictory accounts
which continue to be given in the foreign Jour-
nals of the battles between the Greeks and
Turks, we are still of opinion that victory rested
on the arms of the former. Some of the German
Papers express their fears that the cause of
Greece has become hopeless ; and the Gazette of
Augsburgh, on learning that a Turkish column
had penetrated into the Peloponnesus, and be-
lieving that it was there spreading desolation over
the territory of the discomfited Greeks, even
apologizes to its Readers for having credited the
preceding accounts of Grecian victories. The
"Constitutionnel, however, very properly remarks,
that the intelligence front Corfu and Zante, by
the English packet, which assigns the victory to
the Greeks, substantially in the same terms as
those of the original statements, is of too recent
a date, and refers to facts of too recent occur-
rence, to have been known in Germany before
it reached Paris. Though the German Journals,
therefore, were correctly informed of the passage
of MEHEMED PACHA into the Morea, they could
not have learnt his subsequent discomfiture on
the 6th and 7th, before reaching Argos.—The
Journal des Debuts, a Ministerial French Paper,
seems to be impressed with the opinion that the
strength of the Greeks is broken, and that the
contest is nearly at an end. It has accordingly
suggested rather an extraordinary and romantic
scheme,—viz. that France should offer to the

whole Greek nation an asylum in Corsica, an(l
in the plains of Provence and Languedoc!
project is only deserving of notice, on account n
the quarter in which it has been broachea‘
Have the projectors calculated the means bia
which whole people are to be transPrtes
to a new domicile ? Will France bear the chatgeb
of their conveyance, and endow them wit
lands in the territory which is thus liberally
h
offered for their reception ? Or are the richer
Greeks to bear the expence of conveyance f°l;
their unfortunate countrymen ? Has the folirit
des IMbats estimated how many millions
pounds sterling would be required ? If the re:
sources of the Greeks would enable them to erny
grate en 'muse, the same resources are more than
sufficient to enable them to expel their tyrants'
It is easier to send every firth, or even ere/
third man, into the field against the Turks, than t;
transport the whole nation from the country
their forefathers. Thdse who imagine, therefore'
that the Greeks have wealth and patriotism
enough for the accomplkhmed of the more chi
•
ficult enterprise, for the endurance of the greater
sacrifice, ought rather to exhort them to emPle
their wealth and to exert their patriotism, for the
more honourable, the more glorious, but 11
difficult purpose, of effecting the liberation e
their country.
