PRESTON GUILD.

PRESTON, SATURDAY EVENING.—This interesting
carnival has concluded under circumstances equally
auspicious with its commencement. Yesterday morn-
ing a grand treat was given to the children belonging
to the National and other public schools in the town,
and upwards of 4,000 promenaded through .the dif-
ferent streets. Amongst the most conspicuous were
the schools attached to the different Catholic charities,
which are very numerous and well supported. Of
these 190 were sent down in carriages, provided for
the occasion, to the new town of Fleetwood, by the
Preston and Wyre Railroad, where they were ele-
gantly regaled at the North Euston Hotel. The
sudden rise and present magnificence of this town,
built under the auspices of Sir Hesketh Fleetwood,
one of the representatives of the boroinsh, exceed
anything on present record. Distinct from other
places, there are neither reminiscences for the archueo-
logist or the geologist, and yet a flourishing town,
containing upwards of 2,000 persons, incorporated by
Royal Charter, has sprung up within five years, on a
spot which, nearly surrounded by the sea, was only
occupied as a rabbit warren. The scenery presents a
wide range of view of the expanse of the Irish Sea,
the distant mountains of Ingleborough and York-
shire, the romantic site of the Isle of Man, and the
hills which surround Windermere and the other famed
lakes of this part of the country.
The races in the afternoon were better attended
than on the preceding day, but the grand attraction
was the grand " fancy dress ball," at the Corn Ex-
change. On this occasion upwards of one thousand
persons were present. Many of the uniforms and
characters were of the most splendid description,
having been used at her Majesty's Royal bul masque.
Amongst those present were the Duke of Brunswick,
Mr. Wilson Patten,M.P., Major-General Sir William
Whitehead, Sir Thomas De Trafford, Bart., Townely
Parker, Esq., late M.P. for the county, the Earl of
Balcarras, Hon. Mr.. Lindsay, and most of the aris-
tocracy of the surrounding country.
The proceedings of the present Guild have not been
inferior to those of any on modern record. The at-
tractions of the Guild week have been open to all
classes, and create a cordiality of feeling in the town
which will not be readily obliterated.

The above lighthouses will be lighted on the 13th of
this mouth.

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.—At an inquest held
few evenings since before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, at
Knightsbridge, on the body of a man unknown, who de •
stroyed himself by leaping from the bridge which crosses
the Serpentine, Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the
Royal Humane Society, gave evidence with respect to
recovering the body, and in doing so said that from the
time the first alarm was given to when he was got out
fourteen minutes had elapsed. Although no hopes were
entertained that animation could be restored, the reme-
dies, such as a warm-bath and artificial respiration, were
applied. The longest time he ever knew of a person
being in the water, and yet of animation being restored,
was four minutes and a half. This occurred with a fe-
male servant of Sir Robert Peel, who attempted self-
destruction, but was rescued. He (Mr. Williams) was
positive as to her being under the water the time
he had stated, as a gentleman, a Member of Parlia-
I ment, who was standing on the bridge, took out his
watch the moment she threw herself off for the purpose
of seeing how long it would be before she was recovorec'.
In answer to a question from a juror, Mr. Williams
said that the first appearance of returning animation in a
person immersed in the water, was a slight vibration of
the muscles ; this was followed by a low moaning, termi-
nating in a violent screaming. The party then became
conscious, but complained of the most dreadful pains in
the head, arising from the congested state of the vessels
of the brain. To show the excellent arrangements of
the Royal Humane Society, and the indefatigable exer-
tions of its officers during the bathing season, out of
between forty and fifty accidents by persons getting out
of their depth, sinking from exhaustion, cramp, &c., only
one case has terminated fatally, the average number of
of bathers per day being nearly 2,000.
LORD DENMAN AND TILE POOR MATCIIMAN.—On
Saturday, Lord Denman passed through this town, ac-
companied by his son, for his seat at Stoney Middleton.
On his Lordship's carriage stopping in front of a fish-
monger's shop in Fargate, a tall, venerable-looking ar-
tizan of the town approached with a small basket in his
hand, and lifting his hand to his hat, his Lordship in•
quired what he had fur sale ? He then unwrappd a
c:ean white cloth, and exposed to the noble passenger a
small stock of matches. Immediately afterwards the
vehicle was driven off ; and a bystander going up to the
old man,
. put the significant question to him, " What's
he gfen thee ? " " Nothing," was the ready reply.
The other, however, assured him he had seen something
fall into the basket, and on its being again opened, to
their surprise a sovereign was found amongst the humble
wares. The carriage driving away, the old man lifting
up his arms and uttering blessings on his unknown bene-
factor, and the gathering knot of people to inquire into
the " why and the wherefore thereof," altogether af-
forded the elements of a picture worthy of a first-rate
pencil.— Sheffield Iris.

LEICESTNIL—EXTRAORDINARY ROBBEIZY.-011 Sa-
turday last a robbery was committed in the house of Mr.
John Taylor, under the following singular circum-
stances :—Mr. Taylor has two residences, one at
Leicester and another at Belgrave. having been at-
tacked with illness, he remained at the latter place till
Saturday, leaving a girl about seventeen years of age to.
manage during the absence of the regular housekeeper.. In the night of Friday the girl arose, and proceeded to a
room in which her master had deposited a sum of money;
breaking open a drawer she took sixteen sovereigns
therefrom, and then cut her hair close off, so as to re-
semble that of a man ; she afterwards entered a room in
which two or three men servants were sleeping, and put-
ting on a suit of clothes belonging to one of them left the
house. The man to whom the clothes belonged, missing
thera upon rising, searched the house, and finding a
quantity of hair that the girl had cut off, and the girl
herself missing, he gave an alarm. Mr. Taylor, being
made acquainted with the circumstance, caused informa-
tion to be given to tho police. who succeeded in cap-
turing her, in her disguise, with the principal part of
the property upon her, near Melton. She was
imme-
diately diately taken before a Magistrate, who at oncecoram
her to the Quarter Sessions.
A FOOLISH AND RoGuisfi SoN, AND rs PAL..---
On Tuesday two young fellows arrived at ono

II
Is
Buxton, by a Manchester coach, dressedtopcoats,
and round gold-laced caps. On being shown, by request,
to a bed-room, they changed their clothes, took tea,
had a private room, and then obtained two tickets
for the theatre at the bar, saying they might be put
,
down in the bill. They then proceeded to the theatre,
and while there the father of the youngest_a,
seventeen,—arrived in a gig
promising lad of
got a.
constable, and finding out their whereabouts waited out-
side the theatre till the close of the performance when
they caught the son, while his compani •
nn, a rascal of
twenty-four years, got away. The fact is, the young-
ster had robbed his father of 821., and the other was
laudably engaged in helping him to spend it—having.
it is said, first persuaded him to commit the theft,
They had taken places in the Amber-gate coach,
en' route for London the next morning ; and after
taking tea, the younger one went to a Bees
jewe
shop and bought a gold watch for 171., tendering a 50/.
note HI payment. The money and watch were after-
wards re-exchanged between the jeweller and the father..
It was unfortunate they were not allowed to return from
the theatre to the inn, where they might both have been
safely taken—as no doubt the most culpable rascal es-
caped. The father left Buxton the next morning, and
afterwards sent for young Hopeful to go in custody of
the constable on Thursday.t

AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.--The Gazette de
Guernsey of Saturday last contains a ludicrous story of
an English Methodist preacher having been caught by a
lady in her kitchen cupboard, where he had been .con-
celled by a pretty maid-servant, to whom he was mak-
ing love, and this, too, on a Sunday ! The evident con-
fusion of the girl upon the return home of her mistress,
nearly two hours earlier than usual, was the fatal cause
of this scandalous discovery. The dismayed preacher
was suffered to depart, but not, we fear, " in peace."—
Liverpool Journal
A letter from Havre, Sept. 8, state that a band.of
robbers, who had lately committed many depredations in.
that neighbourhood, had just been arrested. Amongst
them are several liberated convicts.
A Toulon letter, of the 7th inst., says:—" A speedy
departure of four ships from Admiral Hugon's squadron
for the Levant is talked of. The Inflexible and Sand
Petri are to return with Admiral de la Susse. By the
Veloce steamer, from the Islands of the Ilyeres, we learn
that the Admiral has
,only two more ships to inspect,
viz., the Friedlaed and Hercule ; and, as soon as that is.
done, the squadron will return to Toulon. The Veloce
has gone back."

THE SHEFFIELD TRADE STILL DECLlNlNG.—Not-
withstanding the empty boastings of some speculatists
about revivals in trade, we feel compelled to state the
awful fact that not only are the wages in several branches
of the Sheffield trade rapidly decreasing, but that most
respectable manufacturers continue to reduce the number
of their workmen. The number of decent, nay respect-
able men sweeping the streets, affords daily ono of the
most heart-rending sights—a complete damper to all our
old English feelings of national pride ; and when we are
to arrive at the worst, God only knows. Sometime ago
we thought the zero of public suffering had been reached,
bet the thermometer still descends. A precious state of
things, this, in a world teeming with plenty Sheffield
Iris.

The Nantes journals relate that in the afternoon of
Thursday last, as six men were engaged in digging the
foundation of a house, at the cornerot the Rue d'Argente,
the earth fell in and buried. four of them. The autho-
rities, the military, and other assistance, were immedi-
ately at work for their release. Two of them were
very shortly got out alive and without any fractures,
though severely bruised ; a third was next found dead
from suffocation ; but in consequence of the earth giving
way repeatedly in the operation, it took four hours to
reach and disinter the fourth. This operation required
the more time, as the poor fellow was laid with his
arms fastened behind his back, in such a position that
he could make no effort to help himself. He was, how-
ever, taken out alive, though severely bruised. All the
three survivors were carried to the hospital, where
they are likely to recover in a very short time.

The King, having been informed that a seaman of
Havre, named Moye, had invented a check for stopping
horses when running away, ordered his private secretary,
ago, to write to the inventor the following
few da";,sThe King is aware that, from a sentiment

of the interest his Majesty takes in your endeavours, he
has destined for you a sum of 300 fr., for which I have
the honour to send you an order on the receiver of
