A letter from Weimar of the 3d of September
says--" The time of the marriage of our Hereditary
Grand Duke' is fast approaching. Though it is en-
deavoured to keep them secret, we already perceive
that preparations are making for the reception of the
august bride. Among other things,
.a number of
young ladies of the city have resolved to have Dutch
dresses made for them, agreeably to surprise the
young Grand Duchess when they go to meet her."

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 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 bal maslup.
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, Bon. 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 reeord. The at-
tractions of the Guild week haN'e been open to all
classes, and create a cordiality of feeling in the toilien
which will not be readily obliterated.

QUOITS.—The match at quoits between the Surrey
and Windsor champions for ten pounds a-side came off
yesterday, in the quoit-ground of the Duke's Head, Lower
Kennington-lane,
which, after a well-contested match.
was decided in favour of Surrey. The grounds were
crowded with spectators to witness the
known goodness of the men. Among the company
present were Messrs. Ireland, Balls, and seYeral other
well-known players. play, from the

the Diret'itars of the Oriental and Peninsular Steam
Company.
Sir J. CAMPBELL returned thanks in a !very able
speech, which was loudly cheered throughout. He
concluded by proposing 4 The Hon. East India Com-
pany, the patrons of that enterprise."
Sir J. MACKINTOSH returned thanks.

The other toasts which were given were—" The
Ladies"—" The Pacha of Egypt"—" Messrs. Wilson
and Faucett, the builder and engineer of the lEndos-
tan"—" Captain Moresby"—" Mr. Shaw--and " The
Chairman."

When off Ryde, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Admirals Codrington and Parker, and Captain and
Miss Codrington, took their departure. The ship then
returned to Southampton, which she reached between
six and seven, and the company disembarked, and
most of them returned to London by the special train,
all highly gratified with the excursion. Fireworks
were let oft; and blue lights and port-fires burnt on
board all the Oriental arid Peninsular steamers while
the company were landing.
(From the Liverpool Journal.)
We had a sight of the saloons of this splendid ship
last night by candle light, and do not hesitate to say
it surpasses anything of the kind ever yet done in this
or arty other country. The admirable decorations in
the saloon and ladies' cabin were fitted up by Messrs.
Jennens and Bettridge, of Birmingham.
In the saloon or dining-room, there are eight
panted panels, four of which are nearly five feet long
each, and the subjects— •
Ist, The rising of the Nile when all the cities of
the Delta are laid under water.

2d:. The Festival of the Epicureans in the Garden
at Athens.

3d. Cleopatra's Embarkation on the Nile (query
Cydnus), in which the " earth's mistress " is about to
sail and meet Marc Antony.
4th. The Return of a Greek fleet.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SErT. 14.—0 n Sunday evening a
Russiau corvette, of 20 guns, anchored at Spithead,
where she remains. She is from Kamschatka, bound
to Cronstadt. -The usual port salutes were exchanged
on her arrival.

The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, with
Lord Ashburton, although hourly looked for, from
New York, has not yet made her appearance.
Accounts have arrived here from the Thalia, 42,
Captain Charles Hope, from Singapore, of the Bth of
May, reporting her arrival there from England, on
her way to join Admiral Sir )1 illiam Parker. After
leaving the Cape of Good Hope, on the 10th of March,
she encountered a succession of heavy gales, and ex-
perienced some damage in sails and rigging. The
crew was quite well. Spoke the Harlequin, 18, be=
yond the Cape, for the same destination ; all well.
The qualities of the Thalia, sailing, &c., are by no
means commended.

The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Myevil], bound to Mau-
ritius, with General Sir William Gomm on board,
was spoken with on the 10th August, three days
from Madeira.

The Isis' 50, Captain Sir John Marshall, arrived
in Simon's Bay, from Rio de Janeiro, 18th June, and
was shortly afterwards ordered to follow the Admirsd,
Sir Edward King, to Port Natal. The Winchester,
JO, with the new Admiral, had not arrived at the
Cape of Good. Hope.
The Inconstant, 36, will shortly arrive from the
Mediterranean to be paid off. This fine frigate was
built on the plan of the late Rear-Admiral Hayes,
and her qualities in all respects are highly spoken of.
She will, doubtless, be immediately re-commissioned.
The Svren, 16, Commander Smyth, arrived at
Calcutta from England, 25th April, and went on
forthwith to join the China squadron.
The Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, by the
last accounts from Halifax, of the 4th August, was
more healthy, the fever having left her, after some
mortality among the officers and men.
The brig Lynx, 10, Lieutenant Burslem, was the
only vessel in the Tagus on the 26th August. The
Belvidera, 42, was daily looked for there, when the
Lynx would go to Cadiz.
The Satellite, 18, Commander Gambier, left Fun-
chal-roads, sth August, for the Brazils, having dis-
patches for Rear-Admiral Thomas, C.B.
The Racer, 16, Commander Harvey, is hourly ex-
pected from the West Indies, to be paid off. She was
at Barbadoes on the 26th July, all well.
At Spithead—Russian corvette.
In Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Imaum, Excel-
lent, Orestes, Nautilus, Echo, Rocket, and flag tenders.

voyage from Grantor to London in the short space of
thirty-eight hours, about half the time occupied by the
Royal squadron in the passage from Woolwich.
The accommodation on board the Trident is of the
best description. The grand saloon is about thirty
,feet by thirty-five in dimensions, and is thus so large
that it can be divided into a drawing-room and
dining-room, arrangements having been made with
this view. In the centre of the saloon a very elegant
damask-covered sofa is placed. Ottomans, fitted up
in a similar style, and chairs covered with crimson
velvet,. and gilt ornaments, with edgings of gold lace,

From Mr. Cotik3s. eviddilde, it appeal=ed that the pri-
soner had been in his employment four y, ars, and con-
ducted himself with great propriety up to last Christ-
mas, on which occasion he got drunk, and while in that
state acted with great violence, but he was not dis-
missed from his situation, owing to the respect felt for
his family. Since that period, the prisoner went on very
well up to the preceding afternoon. When Mr. • Cook
returned home from visiting his patients, he found him
in a state of intoxication, and desired him to leave
the house. The prisoner, however, refused, and snatch.
ing up a knife, with dreadful imprecations threat-
ened to stab any one who approached him. When a
policeman was called in, the prisoner still flourished
the knife about, but the former took an opportu-
nity of seizing the hand in which he' held the knife, and
held him in that position. The prisoner, however, con-
trived to slip the weapon into the hand which was disen-
gaged, and he then made three different stabs at the
policeman, none of which, fortunately, took effect, when
Mr. Cook, seeing the prisoner bent on mischief, rushed
upon him, and, in attempting to wrest the knife from his
grasp, was cut severely across the hands. Both Mr.
Cook's hands were strapped up • with adhesive plaister.
He added, that he was convinced that the prisoner would
have committed murder, if the weapon had not been
wrested from his hands at the time, and that in getting
it away from him his own hands were also cut.
The prisoner said he was intoxicated, and was sorr
for what had happened.

The Magisti•tite thought that it was such a case of out-
rageous violence on ihe part of the prisoner, that he ought
to be sent for trial. Mr. Cook, however, having expressed
a wish to have a summary punishment inflicted, the Ma-
gistrate inflicted the full penalty of 51. on the prisoner,
besides adjudging him to find sureties for his good be-
haviour for the next twelve months.
