• PRESTON, AUG. 31.

On Sunday night the company continued to
-come into the town during the'whole of the night;
and early yeaerday morning numerous pirties en.
tered the town from all parts to fee the novel fight
of the commencement of our jubilee. The diffe-
tent companies had received inftruitions from the
Wardens for Come time paft; at what time and
place they were to offerable in the morning. They
accordingly met at the different Inns, where a band
of matte was provided, and a very elegant colour
to each of them-. The morning was ufhered in
with ringing of bells, and tounsUng of trumpets.

within the Borough, either by anceLtry dr purchafe,

xi days, or for ever hereafter be debarred from
the fame., The Members of the Corporation were
then .enrolled in a tiew book prepared. for this
Guild, and a number of Orton: then reneweci their
freedom.
About ten o'clock the different Companies ar.
rived At the Town Hall, preceded by in elegant
flag, with devices emblematical Of their trade,
each with a band ofinufic. 11 being announced 1
to the Miyor that they viere ah at.' raved, an at-
tempt to form, a proceffion was made, but in vain;
and in making the attempt? a recite of great con-
' futioi took place, ,tor the crowd was fo immenfely
great,. that Although the greet where the Hall is
Stiatea is very wide, it was completely blocked
up frOm one fide, to the other, the thopkeepers were
Obliged to. flint up their (hops to prevent the win-
dogs being broken; The noire and,confufion that
prevailed war not in the, lea& inferior to what
takes plice at large alfeniblake of perfons in
London,
_on a public exhibition,.
The time, being arrived for the Coiporation to
go to church, which they always do agreeably to
1 ancient cullom at every Guild, they gave up the
idea of forming a regular pmeeffion at that time,
and got to church in the belt manner they could.
The church was in a that time fo completely
filled, that there was no potfibility ofgetting near
the door. The fermon waPpreached by the Rev.
Mr. SHUTTLIWORTM. After divine fervice was
nver, the attempt to form a proceffion was more
fuccefsful ; by the exertions of the confiables, and 1
a party of the- 17th Light Dragoons, who mate
rially affifted in keeping the multitude from pref.
fing in upon the proceffion. The proceffion then
moved from the church towards the church gate
bars.

The Martha), armed cap-a-pee on hotfeback.
Two Trompeter: on horfeback.
The Tanners Company, prebeded by a band of
mufic, colours flying, with the emblems of their
trade, and beat ing.this infcription--" We truti in
GOD alone." Their Wardens with flair' of office
in their hands.—They all wore green ribbons in
their hats, and oak leaves. Mott of them were
dretred in blue coats. The Wardens wore rallies.
over their thoulders, with thefe words in gold let-
ters—" Succefb to Tanners."
They were followed by the Skinners, Glrivers,
and Woolcombers;

The Joiners fucceeded, in company with the
Cabinet-makers Carpenters, Coopers, Chair-
makers, and Millwrights. 'They were preceded
by a molt excellent band-of mufic, and colours
flying. Two tall men with mafks on, and carry-
ing large hatchets each, in a pofitiou as if they
were going to cleave timber, with leather cafes
(long ..vor their Ihnuldor. to hold the hatchets,with
a hull few and hatchet on them. Six boys fol-
lowed in green jackets, velvet collars, plain gilt
buttons, green caps, with green feathers and oak
leaves, in imitation of. Foreflers, with white wands
in their hands. All the company wore blue rib-
bons in their hats. • ,
The Taylors Company next appeared, with blue
and pink ribbons in their hats. They were preced-
ed by a band of mufic and colours, and then fol-
lowed a man and woman, fuppofed to be in a (late
of nudity, itiith a white cotton drefs on, and fig
leaves upon it, in imitation of Adam and Eve,
I being emblematical of what they claim of being
I,the firtt trade 'employed to make clothes, when
Adam and Eve difcovered they were naked. Eve
canied.a large branch of.anapple tree in her hand
with apples on it, tempting Adam to eat as they
paled shmugh the (treets. This novel pair were
followed by ten apprentices, with white hats, green
pantaloons, wands in their hands, and oak leaves
in their hats.

Then followed one of the molt charming fights
ever beheld. It was a proceifion of young people,
i bringing up to indunry.
The Spinners and Weavers Companies. A large
fquare board, painted dark blue, and the follow-
ing infcription s--84 Profperity to the Cotton Ma-
-1 nufaaory." All the edges were ornamented with
white cotton fringe.
Then followid a new Machine belonging to Mr.
HORROCES, drawn,upon a nage, with a boy with
his hair powdered, white cotton turban, ornament-
ed with blue filk, and his whole drefs Of white
cotton of his own manufaanre. He was attended
by a girl about ten years °Cage, to mend the thread
when at breaks. She was dreffed in white cotton,
her hair powdered, and a wreath of artificial
flowers made of cotton on her head. As foon as
they began to move in the proceflion and work, the
populace gave them repeated &outs otapplaufe.
The, little creatures worked the machine, and
performed their work with as much compofure as
if they were not feen by a tingle perfon, although,
they, were viewed by feveral dionfands, and with
no (mall degree of fatisfaaion.
Then followed twenty-four young women, two
and two, who had been feleftedfrom different manu.
faaories for their attraaive charms; their hair was
dreffed in the fafhion of the day. Their drefs wholly
confined of the manufaaure of the town, white
cambric ornamented with blue ribbons and cotton
fringe ; each of them carried an artificial cotton
tree in their hands; there trees appeared in full
bloom. They were wholly made of cotton ; the
ingenuity with which the leaves were formed, and
the whole of the execution, do the highea credit
to the tale of Mrs. HORROCKS, and the female part
of her family, who made them. They were headed,
by two men who fuperintended the women's work
in the manufadlories, in doing what is called bat
tening. They were dreffed in white cotton jackets
and trowfers, with white cotton epaulets on their
'boulders and taffels, •of the manufaiure of the
town,' and with white cotton turbans ornamented
with purple filk.—They likewiksattigd artificial

of Proprietors of manufactories followed, two and •
two, with white .wands in, their hands. Upwards
of one hundred workmen followed, two and two,
who are employed in the' different mantafatitories,
in the sown.
,Another t?oard, prepared in a fimilar manner to
the above, ornamented with cotton fringe, headed
with a filver urn, and carried by a man with his
hair powdered, without any coat or waiitcoat ; his
fhirt, made of the cotton manufacture of the town,
was uncommonly white, and ornamented on the
&eves with purple ribbon. The infcription on the
board, in Old letters, was : " May the ingenuity,
" and induarr of the Cotton ManufaCturers ever

dom !" A large new machine belonging to Mr.
WaTsot, followed, drawn upon high Itage by
about twenty men. On the Rage were two boys,
dreffed in white cotton jackets and trowfers, and
turbans on their heads made of cotton, ornament.
ed with gold fringe in a veil, neat manner. The
olden, about thirteen years of age, was Ipinning,
and the other, about eleven, winding 9n bobbins.
This novel fcene, and every thing rife relative to
the manufacturers, attracted more attention than
any other part of the proceflion.
About fifty Mailers and their fans followed with
white wands in their hands, and between two and
three hundred workmen brought up the rear of
this truly gratifying part of the proceffion.

The Butchers' Company followed. There were
about 40 of them, with new white aprons, and
iteds hung to thern,and twelve of their fons,dreired
in a fimitar manner, and all of them had white
and red ribbons in their hats.
The Farriers' Comply followed. They were
led by a vnan in Reel armour, handfomely orna-
mented ; his armour cap was decorated with a
fine plume of feathers ; his horfe had a fcarlet
fiddle-cloth, ornamented with gold lace, which
gave him a very grand appearance. He repre-
tented Vulcan. He was followed by eight boys,
with their hair powdered, without coats and waift-
coats, their thins ornamented with blue ribbons,
carrying white ftaffa in their hands, with gilt heads.
'The Farriers followed, with new blue jackets and
trostfen ; the jackets had red collars. The waist
redcaps, with tads at the top, fur fronts.;
new leather aprons, with new pincers and ham-
mers hanging in the front.
The Smiths followed, and they were joined by
the Pluinbers, Painters, Glaaiers,ifina Watch-ma-
ker*. They were headed. by, their WaMens,•who
carried their black naffs of office, With gilt heads;
and about 3o of the different companies followed,
in new blue coats, with dark blue cockades, edged
with gold fringe.

A Lodge of Freemafons of this town, called
'Peace and Unity, followed in full drefs. The
Bible was carried before them, open, on a crim-
fon velvet cushion. Their part of the proceffion
finifhecliwitla an officer called the Tylor. He was
dreffed in iharlet, with a'hairy cap, and carried a
drawn tword. There were about go of them.
The Company of Cordwainers fucceeded, to
the number of about fotty. They were headed
by their Wardens, with Ilaff's of office,' and tallies
over their shoulders, with PrelLon Guild, and
fuccefs to the Cordwainers." They were follow.
ed by a number of Apprentices, carrying on long
poles all the different fafhions of Ladies and
Gentlemen's shoes. All the Company wore new
red Morocco aprons, bound with light blue rib.
bons.

The Vintners and Innkeepers' Company next
came up, and the Companies of Grocers and Mer-
cers.

The excellent band of the 17th Light Dragoons
preceding the Corporation, all in full drefs, and
their officers, in new clothes of office.
The proceffion finithed with about two hun-
dred Gentlemen, from all parts of the United
Kingdom, in full dreis, numbers of them in cocked
hats. They were headed by Lord Dust and
Mr. X&SILINI. Lord GARDNER was in the pro-
ceflon.

The infcription on the Joiners' Colours was—
" There can be no folid friendfhip of which virtue
is not the bafis."

All the Companies had colours and bands of
mufic ; and thus ended one of the molt pleating
proceffiods ever teen in this, or, we will be bold to
fay, in any other country. Although the crowd
was fo extremely great, we did not bear of any
accident.

The confufion at the Hall door in the morning
may in fome degree be accounted for. In the
afternoon it was difcovered that the infamous
and difgraceful gang of London pickpockets had
found their way down here. A number of Gen-
tlemen have been plundered of their property by
them.

After the procefrion, Mr. GRIPASHAW, the Mayer,
entertained a number of Gentlemen, with a fump-
tuous dinner at his houfe in the Filhergate.
MUNDEN made his appearance this evening at
the Theatre, in the chat-oder of Sir Anthony Ab-
fotiote, in SfriF.RIDANPS Comedy of The Rival:. On
his entrance he was greeted with reiterated plau-
dits by the whole Houle, which was extremely
well filled, although there was an AfTembly at
the Town Hall, where there were piefent be-
tween fix and fcven hundred perfons : it was lite-
rally only an Alfembly, for the Hall was fu ex-
tremely crowded, that no dances could be pro-
ceeded on.

All parties jnin in exerting themfelves to fup-
port the Guild. At the time the Corpnrati,
went to church there was a grand mars performed

INTELLIGKNCE.

COURT OF REQUESTS, SEPT. s.
GRAHAM t'. THOMAS.
The plaintiff, an antiquated Sybil living at the
Seven-Dials, brought the prcfent aelion againlkthe
defendant,* refpeaable looking man,for tix weeks
attendance as nurfe to a lady named Partloe,li ring
in Greenhill's rents. The plaintiff poffeffed all thq
garrulity of her age and profeflion, and detailed
the following circumftances :
About four months ago fhe called on Mrs.Parf.!
loe by accident, and that lady informed her tha/
file was very unwell, that the would require al
nurfe, and•requened her to • call next day, when
Mr. Thomas would be prefent. The plaintiff called
next day, and was accordingly hired to give her
attendance, which took place from that moment.
When the lady recovered, the plaintiff demanded
her money, at the rate of is. per night, but with
this demand Mrs. Parfloe refuted to comply, de•
firing her to go to the defendant. She accordingly,
made application to that. gentleman, but he like.
wife refufed to pay the money. The plaintiff, in
order to get her own, was therefore compelled to
bring him bcfore the_court.
The defendant Rated, that at the time alluded
to by the plaintiff, Mt s. Parfloe lived in the plain-•
tiff's houfe, who occationally appeared in.the dou.
ble capacity of miltrefs and leavant. He fwore po.•
fitivcly that he had never engaged the plaintiff as
fibs. Parfloe's untie, oil ilie.contrary, he had vifit
ed that lady but tel,h,m, and had only leen the
plaintiff tm ice or thrice.
Here the Commiflioners anted Kr. Broiv‘ n if he
knew where Mrs. Parfloe was to be found ? The
defendant replied; that he did not. , • •
The plaintiff exclaimed "(he's at his own liottfe
and he knows it." This, however, the defendant
molt unequivecally denied. ►
The Commitlioners were of opinion, that Mrs,
Parfloe was the proper debtor, and therefore di
miffed the affirm until the plaintiff could difeo-ver
where that lady was to be found.
