PRESTn v, SEPT. 2.

Nothinz is now talked of here but the truly
chanting fight with which we were gratified% by
'our Ladies walking in the procellion of Tuefday.
It is confidered as perfeaion by every body, and
Preiton may at this rime challenge the world for
beautiful females. The only lamentation is, that
the Jubilee does not happen oftener.

So great was the demand for places at the
Theatre on 'ruefday evening, that the Manager,
at the fuggeilion of feveral perfons of diffinaion,
laid the pit into the boxes, and in the evening the
boxes and pit appeared much more like the
07_ra Honk. than a Country Theatre, for the
Ladies appeared in their fplendid elegant dreffes
in which they graced the proceffion in the morn-
ing. The Play was The Poor Gendeousit
The whok was very refpeaably got up. The
Theatre will hold nearly as many people as the
Little Theatre, in the Hay Market ; the pit is
quite as big, and yet it was filled on Tuefday night
at box prices. It is fitted up in a very neat llyle ;
the ornaments of the boxes and fcenes do great
credit to the mite of Mr. Stanton. The difficulty
to get to the carriages was as great as at the
Opera. Lord and Lady Dam and a party of
Nobility graced one of the front boxes, which holds
thie ty five. The Mayor and his riends filled
another.

• This morning the feveral Fraternities of trade,
marthalled as before, paraded the principal areets,
with their rcfpe&ive colours flying and mufic play-
ing. The whole was conducted, as on the_ pre-
ceding days, with the greateft regularity.
About ten o'clock a grand main, for'two hun-
dr:d guineas, of Cocking, commenced at Lord
DERBY'S Cock Pit, between his Lordthip and Mr.
Caoss, of Charley. It being the time of year when
the cocks lofe their feathers, they did not fight
with fuch fpirit as was expeded. His Lordfhip's
killed five out of fix. The game will proceed dur-
ing the three following mornings ; Z 4 is the main.
Lordthip and Mr. Closs fought two bye-
battle for ten guineas; each got one, fo that it
was a drawn battle. The cocking finifhed foon
after twelve o'c;o,k, when the company proceeded
in a grand cavalcade to Fulwood Moor, where is
the race courfe. Such-an amazing concourfe of
people was never feen in this county before ; car-
riages of all defcriptions, loaded in the extreme ;
an innumerable company of horfemen ; and the
incalculable number of pedeftriar.,, high and low,
exceeds all deferiptior. We can only compare the
appearanc of the roads, fi:lds, and paths, leading
to the courfe, to a view of the neighbourhood of
Mary-la.bonne. the day GI arizarrifs balloon went
up from Lori's Criel et laround. Between one
and two o'do:lc, the races commenced as follows :

in the evening was held, in the Guild Hill and
Towa Hall, the Jubilee Levee, for the purpore of
the company attending the Guild to pay their re-
!pees to the Mayor and Lady MAyores. Soon
after (even o'clock the company began to affemble,
and by ten o'clock upwards ofone t)ou(and perfons
were aftembled,drefred in the firft elegance and fa-
&ion. The flaircafesand pafragesleading to thehalls
were filled with company %rho could not gain ad-
mittance. Many Gentlemen from London agreed
that they had never, before nor fence, been in fuch
a genteel crowd fince the Union Mafquerade.

Lord DERBY, Lord GARDN FR, Lord STANLEY,
Mr. Hotteoces, the Count& of DERBY, Lady
ANN LINDSAY, Lady SUSAN CARPENTER, Lady
GERARD, Lady HOUGHTON, Lady JERNING HAM,
Lady FITZGERALD, Lady CHARLOTTE. HORN BY,
and Lady STANLEY, were among the company to
pay their refpeets to the worthy Mayor and his
Lady ; and certainly his gentleman-like and affa-
ble manners to every individual demands every
degree of refpea. In anti-rooms there were pro-
vkied cooling drinks of all defcriptions, a profu-
fiZn of confetlionary and pine apples, and the
choicell fruits. About ten o'clock, two ex-
cellent hands of mufic entered the gallery of each
Hall. The Lady Mayorefs and a Gentleman at-
tempted to lead off a country dance in the Town
Hall, but it was found impracticable. In the
Guild Hall Lord STANLEY and Mifs CROCKSDALE
led off a dance ; they were followed by the worthy
Mayor and Mifs HORTON• His Woribip likewite
danced with Lady ANN LINDSAY; a few parties
followed, but no regularity could be kept, on ac-
count of the crowd being fo great, till pea eleven
o'clock, when numbers having been obliged to
leave the Halls, from exceffive heat, the dancing
went on with great fpirit, and continued till a late
hour.

This meeting afforded the Ladies who formed
the truly grand proceiton on Tuefday morning
an opportunity of difplaying their beautiful per;
foes and elegant dreffes by candle light, but they
wanted nothing to fet them off—fimple nature
was their greatell ornamcnt. This meeting will
long he remembered by all who had the pleafure
of beholding fuch an affernblage of Lancathire
Witches.
Lail night there was dancing in almon every
Inn and Pot-houfe in the town. There being a
large fupply of muficians from different parts to
attend the Companies in their pioceflion, the in-
habitants are deterthined not to loft the opportu-
nity of employing them ; they have been fufficient-
1, buiy fince the commencement of the Jubilee.
In the mornings the bands (trike up to attend the
Companies, fo that ,we have mufic from morning
till night.
A (hocking accident happened on Monday night:
An aged man between eighty and ninety years of
age, who had been attending the fourth Guild, on
his return home feU into sk'ditch in Leaming-
Itreet, and was found fuffocated the neat morning.
His came is Thomas Cooper, and be :nada at
