AMERICAN PIPERS:

Yefterday arrived American Papers down to th.
7th of Auguit. We are furry to learn by them
that reports concerning the return of the yam
fever, which had been conceived exaggerated, are
not without conficierAble foundation. The folk..r.
ing extras: will furnifh the beft idea that we
can give, and it will appear from them that the
principal towns of the weftern Continent are no,
yet fecured from the vifitations of this dreaaul
fcour;e.
It is worthy of obfervatinn, that lifts of deaths
ate now publithed ; a prat:Hee which had been dif.
continued ; mud the precautions recommended,
I both in refs/ea of cleanlinefs, removal for infested
places, and abftaining, as much as poililile, from
all intercourfe with the fick, leave no doubt dm!
the Health Officers, though defirnus to keep up
the public confidence, are yet of opinion that there
is real danger. Some rain having fallen on the zd
of Auguft, by which the cellars were inundated,
orders were illned by the Board of Health, on
3d, to have them bailed out, firewed with lime,
and ventilated.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 31.—The Board of Health
being informed that fymptoms of malignant fever
had appeared in the neighbourhood of Vine flreet
and Callow-hill, and die front of Water-ill-co, vi.
fited the houfes, and found eleven perfons lick of
various complaints, of whom only three had fymp.
toms of malignancy. Only four have died fince
the 22d, and one of them died of an apoplexy.—
It appears, therefore, that the reports in circula.
don are exaggerated, and the Board of Health
battens to do away the exceffive alarm.

PREITON, SEPT. it:

Th:s morning a public breakfaft was given by
A.tPINALL, at his houfe in the Fifhergate.—

ittPINALL, _ _
The tables were furnithed by Mr. V.Tauti, of Liver-
pool. The company was numerous and &lea.
In the evening we conclude our Jubilee with a
rani hlalouerade which is to be held in the Town
HAI and Guild FLU.
*chi% day refembled the commencement of the
‘u,,;iee, for carriages were arriving in the town
ing the whole of the day, from different parts
of the country, with families and parties, to view
fa novel a fpecies of amufement as a Mafquerade
in the country.
Soon after eight o'clock, the company began to
?tremble. The 'galls were very tallefully hung
with laurels and different forts of evergreens, fo as
to make them have the effea of a grove. The
company continued coming till part eleven o'clock,
when, contrary to our expeaation, although the
admiffion was one guinea, the Halls were com-
pletely filled, fo that there was hardly a poffibility
of moving. There were fuppofed to be one thou-
fand perfons affembled, of which feveral hundreds
fupported charaaers. The following charatiers
dcferve notice :—Lord GAINS IR aCted the Grand
'jerk extremely well; Lord STAN try, as a Spaniard,
was drefed molt fuperbly ; a Reeruitiag Seryant,
with a Drummer and Fifer, and the Aylward Squad,
caufed much mirth. There mull have been great
pains taken in the feleaion of the Aylward Squad,
as they were almoft all deformed. Dr. BARNSLEY,
of Manchefter, in the charaaer of Donor Yea 'fade
3:aulenEergiur, High German Hebrew Doctor—this
eharaaer was one of the principal entertainments
of the evening, and was allowed by every body to
be the bell fupported, both as to drefs, language,
etc. ; he frequently harangued the company for
year twenty minutes, from a bench, with the_great-
ell fluency of language, in the true gitack Donor
ftyle. Major BROOKS, who is fix feet two inches
high, in the charaaer of a Girl ie leaden: firing:, at-
tended by his Wurfi, afforded a deal of amufement
in playing childith tricks, and running away from
his Arstrfi, &c. Lady FITSOSRALD appeared as a
Savoyard, with a tamborine, which the played ex-
tremely well ; her Ladyfhip was attended by two
Lep with a hurdy gurdy and a triangle. Mr.
Jitaximonan as &mkt, was dreffed moll elegantly :
he wore a very coftly lace ruff. Mrs. Juan Imo oast
was the twos in Hoak, and a more elegant figure
never graced that charaaer : (he was dreffed in
black velvet, richly embroidered with filver. Mr.
WATSON, the eminent cotton miusufaaurer of this
town fuftained the charafter of a Waggoner fo ex-
tremely well, that although he was quizzed by
great numbers, and is extremely well known here,
yet he was not difcovered by above three or four.
There were a number of Narkpeisit, but fuch a Pet
of heavy heeled ones never attempted the charac-
ter : they were only entitled to the name from the
glrefs, 'Two Burlefque Dances took place, with
the greateft contra& of charaaer : One was be-
tween the *peel Dam, Major BROOKS as the In-
firm, an Old ad, and a Demise. The other was
between Lord ,Srantaty, who is at leaft fix feet

pow and a Scaraareach: they formed the um& mot-
ley groupe ever beheld, and afforded great amufe-
ment to the fpeaaton. The Jew was extremely
well fupported both in drefs ananguage ; he fold
fpeaacles and telefcopes numbers toed to dif-
cover him, but did not fucceed.

was thetogive opinion a (ketchni of
the numerous of
many who have been in the habit of attending Mal-
querades in London, that this was one of the hee
they ever witneffed. The Mayor and Mayorefs
were in the room, full drefred, but not mated.
At twelve O'clock, the company began to retire
down Rain to rapper, and although every precau-
tion had been taken by printed inftruaions being
hung up, Paying only a certain number could be
accommodated with (upper at one time, and giving
• direatons for the company to go down one flight
of ftairs and return by another, yet the greateft
fame of confufion took place ever beheld: both
flair: got completely filled, as did a large paffage,
fo that thofe who were in the (upper-room could
not get out, and thofe who were out could not get
in ; numbers of dreffes were torn—Ladies (cream-
ing and fainting, but uo affiftance could be given ;
the prefure was unavoidable. When the door was
got open by violence, piles of China plates were
knocked down and broke to pieces, the moll choice
eatables trod under foot, ancithe Tupper-room was
fo completely filled that the waiters could not get
near the door to fupply the company. A fcene pre-
tented itfelf which is rarely to be feen : Noblemen
and Ladies of diflinaion glad to ufc knives, forks,
and plates that had been ufed before, cat what had
been left by others, and drink out of glaffes that
had been ufed. The fcene continued for above
two hours, and the company did not fcparatc till
fix o'clock.
On Saturday there was a public dinner at the
Ball: Colonel PATTEN, M. P. one of the Stewards
of the Races, was in the chair, when the follow-
ing toafts were propofed:—.
The sterrirdLeises who have attested the jubliee,and thanks
to them for the large concavities they have made to the Guild.
Tbe imearrkl Lao and may they, by salted exertions,
toolaute doubly to the nest Guild.
Thefe toafts were drank with enthefiallic ap-
Plattfe.
We cannot finifh our account of the Jubilee with-
out obferving, that every banger (tensed much
delighted with the reception they met with from
the Gentlemen of the Corporation, and the town
'ft general, and did not lament the long journics
they had taken for the enjoyment of Inch a conti.
hued fcene of pleafure. All the principal inhabi-
Nuts feemed to lay themfelves entirely out for the
accommodation of their friends. In faa, alnsoft
every defers tan of perfons have rcfted from their
labours during the whole time of this memorable
Jubilee. The Manufaaurers prepared for the en-
joyment of it a confiderable time before the com-
mencement by working over hours, and leaving
eke money in their mailer's hands to spend at the
uuild ; and we have to obferve, much to their

timid poMbly be expdted under the eircuraances.
The lower dais of people have concluded them-
(elves in a very orderly manner.—Many of onr pot-
honfes exhaulled their flock of ale, and brewed
during the Jubilee, and fold the beer in a few days
after it had been brewed. The Bull Inn has taken
Isool. for wine and liquors during the Jubilee, and
every other Inn in proportion.
