PRESTON, SEPT. I.

Yefterday morning was ufhered in with ringing
Of bells and founding of trumpets. At all the
different houfes where the Companies affembled,
colours were flying from the windows, and each
band of mufic playing, and we may fay with
Milton, " And young and old came forth to play;"
for it was like calling all forth to enjoy the ju-
bilee. This morning, according to ancient cuftom,
the Ladies attend the Lady Mayorefs to church in
grand proceffion. Soon after nine o'clock her
Ladythtp arrived at the Town Hall,- full drelfed
to receive the Ladies, who about this time began
to Amble in great numbers. At one time the
number of carriages was fo extremely great, that
they were completely wedged up in all direltions
leading to the Hall, and although at fo early an
hour, fome had come at; far as Liverpool full
dreffed, and numbers remained in the (beets
blocked up, without being able to gain accefs to
the Hall. Several chairs were employed to convey
the ladies who refide in the town to the Hall.
By about eleven o'clock near .too were affembled.
Such an affemblage of beautiful women has fel.
dom been teen under one roof. Lancathire cer-
tainly is the envy of the world for beautiful wo-
men. About eleven the Hall was extremely
crowded, and the heat fo oppreffive, that the
Counters of DERBY had nearly fainted. After
Come violent exertions of the foldiers and a great
number of extra conftables whom the Mayor had
very judicioufly (worn in for the occafion, provide
mg them with very long ftaffs, and when they
had fucceeded in forming a parage they joined
hands to each other's ftaffs, but it was with the s.
neaten difficulty they prevented the populace
from breaking in upon them. The different ,
Companies who formed the grand proceffion on
Monday, arrived at the Half, with colours fly-
ing and mufic playing ; they affifted in forming
paffage for the ladies. The paffisge being
properly made, the Corporation, with the town's
Regalia, came out of the Hall; they were fol-
lowed by the LADY MAYORESS, conduced by the
Vicar of the Parini ; then followed the Ladies, two
and two—the Counters of Maar and Lady CH...R- I
LOTTI HOMY (daughter of Lord Dk RBY) ;
Lady STANLEY (daughter of Lord DERBY), and
Lady ANY LINDSEY ; Lady SUSAN CARPENTER
and Mrs. CAWTHORN ; Lady G gait ARCO and Lady
HOUGHTON; Lady JERNINGHAM and Lady FITL-
'IA LD. The reit of the Ladies followed two and
two ; and when they had all got out of the Hall
into the ftreet and formed the proceMon, it pro-
duced one of the molt charming and grand ef-
fees ever beheld. The Ladies were moft fu-
perbly dreffed ; each of them wore an elegant
falbionable plume of feathers. We cannot com-
pare this to any thing but a proceffion of the
Knights of the Garter at an inftallation. The
body of the Church was allotted for the recep-
tion of the Ladies. Waco they were all feated.
no church was ever attended with a greater of
femblage of beauty : it appeared more like a
grand concert room in London than a country
church. After divine fervice was over they re-
turned in the fame order they came, in grand
' proceffion through the ftreets to the Town-hall.
Many gentlemen attended them, to prevent their
being annoyed by the mob. The windows and
tops of the hooks through which this uncommon
...Ind memorable thew naffed were throngedyrith

of the thatch Rua fieeplei and the trees in the
I church yards In faet every exertion and con
trivance was Made only to get a glimpfe of this
very novel and grand light, but great numbers
never attained this truly deferable objeEt. We
never thought to have feen fuch a crowd in a
country town as appeared on Monday, but yel
terday's far exceeded it. Every lireet was filled
with
people, and there was hardly any poffibility
ilinThe different proce(Gons of the companies pa.
raded round the town in the fame order as they
did on Monday, with the additions of Ream-en-
gines for (pinning and weaving, placed on high
ilages, belonging to Mr. HOAROCKS. The lads
and men who attended them were drelfed in
cotton dreffes. The populace gave the children
&opts of applaufe as they pallid through the
Wets, (pinning and weaving, which feemed not
to pleafe the youngilers a little by the (miles which
it produced on their countenances.
Numbers are here from London and all parts
of the kingdom, and all exprefs themfelves
alionifhed and pleated at the fight, and are far
from regretting their long journies. The light
was allowed to furpafs any thing of the kind
ever fecn in this country, and exceeded the ex-
pedation of every one prefent, as well in point
of the brilliancy and grandeur that attended it,:as
in refpea of the regularity and decorum with
which it was conduced.

At four o'clock the Mayor entertained the Cor-
poration and a great number of Gentlemen at the
Guildhall with a molt fumptuous dinner, to which
Lord DEM contributed a buck. The dinner
would have done credit to a City of London feat;
there was turtle, and every delicacy the feafon
affords ; the choiceft wines of various forts ; and
after dinner a molt handfome deffert was ferved
up, a molt capital colleCtion of fweetmeats, and
the mon choice fruits, confining of pine apples,
melons, &c.

The following toafts were drank—Profperity to
the Corporation—The King—Mr. Horrocks—
Lord Stanley—Lord Derby—Recorder of the
Borough -.Mr. Addington—Bonaparte—Alder-
man Pedder—The Mayor—Sir Henry Houghton
—Stewards of the Races—Lord Nelfon.

A remarkable foot race was run at Newton, in
Lancathire, laft week—a man from Saddleworth,
in ..Yorldhire, and another from Oldham, near
Manchefter, were the competitors ; and the York-
(hire man flaked the other fifty guineas to forty.
The diftance was three times round the Newton
courfe, or three miles, which the Yorkfhire man
ran in thirteen minutes and fitly feconds, having
beaten his antagonift more than a quarter of a
mile. At the conclufion of the race he offered a
confiderable wager, that he would ruh round the
courfe ten times more at the fame rate, which was
not accepted. An immenfe concourfe of people
were prefent, and bets to the amount of more
than wool. were depending.
A Cm refpondent informs us, that a Gentleman
at Clapham has betted he will ride his mare from
the Turnpike, Kennington, to the 14 mile ftone on
the Epfom Road, on Saturday morning next, as fol-
lows, viz.—He will walk the three firft miles, trot
the three next, and gallop the three and a half laft
miles within one hour. Large furns are betted,
and is is. expelled, that although this mare has
been eonftantly rode through the country for four
years, on the average not refs than 25 to 30 miles
a day, that the will perform the talk.

BARTHOLOMEW Faia.—.-The booths at Bartho.
lornew fair, this year, are numerous, and fitted
up in their afird ftyle of fplendour. On one hand
we have a Theatre Royal, where dramatic pieces are
enaded with amazing celerity; and it is ate& that
Pisarro and Blue Beard were performed in one of
thefe retreats of Tbefpir ,in the very short (pace of
. t 8 minutes! Proceeding a little farther towards St.
John-ftreet, the attention is called off on the other
hand by a splendid Royal Circus, where a perfor-
mer, who is ftyled Equeirian to Asir Misfits, exhi-
bits his wonderful feats. There are alto various
other receptacles for wild hafts, conjurors, and
' charlatans of every denomination ; hilefifrbied en-
efeeinments, rational amufements' with every thing
which can poftibly tend to exalt and improve the human
undstimufing 1 It would not be fair to omit that
favourite Amutement of the youthful visitors of
both fexes of this elegant place of retort, we mean
'wings, roundabouts, &c. &c. Neither would we be
juftified in not recording the delicacies which pre-
tented themfelves to the hungry ; yards of fried
faufages were devoured with peculiar avidity, and,
to life the language of Mr. WINDHAM, when de-
scribing the pleatures oftorfe-racing—u nothing
was to be teen but seams of gin, and tnountaint of
gingerbread, interfeded with the appearance of
hilarity and univerfal fatisfaaion.".—Acoong other
i. Amebic: introduced at the Fair, are a number of
Balloons. By tome new regulations very good order
and decorum were preferred, more fo than we
have witneffed for many years pall, although the
!how: are much more numerous than usual.

Thurfiay night, about half pale nine o'clock,
the rabble, commonly called Lady Holland': Mob,
having affembled in Smithfield fooner than nfual,
took a turn from thence up Gofwel and Alderf-
gate-ftreets, and returning down the City Road,
and through Finibury-fquare, they abufed, knock.
ei down, or robbed almoft every perfon they met.
Mr. Allifon, a carpenter in the City Road, com-
ing to his door with a candle in his hand, on har-
ing the tumult, was knocked down, and his hat
and candleftick were taken from him. Mr. Du-
pont, linen•draper, of the City Road, had his watch
taken from him while handing at his own door;
and in attempting to fecure the thief, was beaten
with (licks and bludgeons in a dreadful manner :
and thofe who appeared with lights at their doors
were afrailed with vollies of (tones, and immedi•
atelv driven in. From their number it was im-
poffible for the watchmen and people to fecure any
of them. _ _ _

By direaion of the LORD MAYOR, the ftreets in
the City were, on Wednefday night, (wept of aU the
littera, and fifteen of them were yefterday cow-
nutted from the Medea HeA6411244449mcw

POLICE, &A

1 Guttotiat.t..—Yelletday the Creole was again
hrought before the Sitting Alderman, to anfwer
to the charges agalnll him for defrauding many
perfons of property upon Falk pretences. A great
number of others attended to make chatge, but
the Alderman finding that they were committed
in the county, recommended them to Bow-ftreet,
to which Office he likewife fent the prifoner for
further examination. He continued to thew his for-
mer careleffnefs, and faid they could not hang him.
An old offender was fully committed for trial,
charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Murdock
of a pocket-book, containing bank notes to the-
amount of 511. in Newgate-greet, lalt Thurfday,
about three o'clock in the day. Mr. Murdock,
who is a feafaring gentleman, faid he was going
to pay away this money, and kept his hand in his
pocket, when they haled him, and took it nut.
Mr. Kirby, of Paternofter-row, taw the prifoner
drop the book a few minutes previous to his appre-
benison. He faid nothing in his defence, and the
parties were bound over to profecute.
Bow-s T yr.—The Creole examined before the
Lord Mayor, on fufpicion of having been guilty
of divers frauds and felonies, was fent to this of-
fice by his Lordfhip: mod of the complaints
againtt him having taken place in the county of 1
Middlefex.

Mr. Mackenzie, of Green-ftreet, Grofvenor-
fqoare, charged the prifoner with obtaining a
finglehorfe chaife from him,on hire, and afterwards
dirpofing of it for his own gain; which charge be-
ing made out, and the Magiftrate judging it to be
a felony, be was committed for trial accordingly,
but will be brought up on a future day, in cafe
anyother complaint fhouldbeezhibitedagainft him.
Yefterday morning the highwayman, appre-
hended on Saturday Taft for a highway robbery
on Hounflow Heath, was brought up for exami-
nation. Mr. Henderfon, of Bedfont, having taken
the former proceedings, produced the information
of Mrs. Scott, Lady of David Scott, Efq. of
Broad•ftreet, Rating, that on Saturday, the 28th
of Auguft, fhe was flopped in a poft-chaife on
Hounflow Heath, ezaaly oppofite the gibbet of
Haines and Clark, by a fingle highwayman, in a
mafk, who robbed her of a leather purfe, contain-
ing three guineas and a half, a feven fhilling piece
in gold, and fome loofe flyer, and then rode off;
that turning round, the met a man with a cart
and horfes, and pointing out the highwayman to
him, he immediately purfued him. Thomas Ful-
ler, carman, depofed, that in confequence of the
above, he took off his fore-horfe, and galloped
Acrofs the heath after the offender ; that he came
up with him near Cranford-bridge, and perceiving
him put his hand in his great-coat pocket, he feiz-
ed him by the collar, and after fome ftruggling,
they both fell to the ground together; on fearch.
ing him at Cranford-bridge, they found a loaded
piitol, a mac, and fome powder, but neither the
leather purfe nor money taken from Mrs. Scott.
He was then carried before Mr. HENDERSON, at
Bedfont, and by him committed to New Prifon.
In confequence, the parties, together with Richard
Bartholomew, the ftable-keeper, of whom the high-
wayman hired the horfe, were bound over to pro-
fecute, and the Prifoner fully committed for trial
at the next Seffions. He is 23 rears of age, the
fon of very refpeaable parents at Kenfington, and
appears rather weak in the intelleas, by reafon of
a paralytic ftroke with which he has been recently
afflited. The mafk found upon him is a black
mafk, to reprefent the face of an Indian, with a
firing of beads round the neck, and upon the
" Wafted heath," in the vicinity of a gibbet, mull
have produced a very terrific effea.
THANE: Porace OFf ICE.—Yetterday feveral
Apprentices, in the employ of Mr. Deadman's
Yard, were examined before the Magiftrates, on
the feveral charges of felony and defertion from
their Mailer's employ, by taking away their tools,
under the influence of the combination of the
Shipwrights, that had fnbfifted fome ,time back,
which is happily terminated.
The lads being confidered as ailing under the
influence of the revolting fhipwrights, feducing
them from their duty, they were &Miffed with a
falutary admonition to return to their duty, which
they thankfully received : and it now appears that
every branch of bufinefs in the Dock Yards goes
on with the utmoft harmony. After this cafe
being difpofed of, feveral convi&ions took place
on the illegality of perfons poffeffing goods which
they could not account for.
Edward Lerpeniere and Elias Gibfon, charged
with having forged a writing, purporting to be the
will of Wm. Howarth, late of Manchefler, de-
ceafed, have been committed to Lancafhire Cattle,
as were alto Ann Pollard and Ann Barlow, for
having uttered and publifhed, as true, the forged
will aiorefaid.

On Friday fe'nnight James Mellor, aged 22,
convicted at the laft affixes of a burglary, and al-
to, of purchaling a bay horfe poney, knowing it
to have been ftolen • and Thomas Spencer, his
coufin, and accomplice in the above burglary,
aged 14, were executed on the gallows near Der-
by. Mellor confeffed that he had praaifed thiev-
ing for feveral years paft, and acknowledged hav-
ing perpetrated a great 'number of crimes in
Staffordthire, as well as in Derbythire. They did
not appear in the leaft touched with remorfe for
the heinoufnefs of their crimes ; and fince their
conviaion, and in their laft moments, exhibited
an affeeing proof of human depravity.
Thomas Spencer, fen. (father to the above T.
Spencer) condemned at Stafford affixes for a bur-
glary, is reprieved.
As Faancis HILTON, Efq. of Finibury-fquare,
was returning home, on Thurfday evening, by
Moor-place, a quarter before ten, an attempt was
made to huftle him by agang of eight or ten
men, calling out, 44 A bullock." Mr. HILTON,
to avoid this party, went out of the path to Mr.
ALkx. CHAMPION'S door, when they followed,
beat him with their bludgeons, robbed him of his
money, watch, hat, and handkerchief, and went
off towards Smithfield in triumph. Notwith-
[landing he cried out murder loudly feveral times
