...cination was in their glances—their smiles would
„Ave cheered the desponding heart of the poor Captain
Barrie, or harmonized the manners of Mr. Cobbett.
An Irishman once said that the best feature in a woman's
tace was her legs ; by the same figure of speech I may
sit that the lady-witches of Preston, though not in
t;,e procession at all, were much the handionsest part of '
the procession. But the devil of it was, that scarcely a
•oul of them wore the successful colours, orange and
green. No, theirs was the saile•r's colour, blue.
Proved faithful to the manly jolly Tory tar to the last.
line blue,* even in the face of the triumphant foes, dr.:),
aever struck their colours, but waved them undauntedly
Prer the orange and green, fearless alike of the aristocrat
Whig and the democrat Reformer. Their beautiful
rioglets were bound up in blue—blue fluttered round
white brows; blue clasped their necks and blsotn, ;
I:ve fl rated from their white little hands ' • and blue en-.
,orclt..l their sylphean waists. _Of the last mentioned

:,be and its contents a true blue Tory would, in the
oullition of his political zeal, exclaim with Atterbury
4' Give me but what that ?gonad bound;
Take all the rest the non goes malt"
After the crowd (for it had neither the order nor splendour of a
biic procession) had brought their favourite Members (dead tired)
i:c.k to their Hotels,

Mr.WOOO edified them with a speech, but Mr. STAN-
-I.IIY set off fur his grandfather's (Earl Derby), half an
hour after the favour of his procession was over.
At eight o'clock Mr. Cobbett appeared, and thus
addressed the crowd from his Inn:
Gentlemen of Pr e.ton—(Hutrair)—lt it now four
seeks. since I entered your tows just one calendar
math, the happiest month I have spent since the first
aionth.l was mars led.—(A laugh )—Gentlemen,wo have
had a tough battle of it, and we have fought it bravely.
My enemies said I was gone; but Gentlemen, they are
gone, themselves this very evening; they have sneaked
~at of town under the cover of the night, whilst I shall
march out to morrow morning, in the face of the bright
and open day light.—(From the crowd, "the devil go
with you.")—l have told you, Gentlemen,that this would
be no election, and that I will prove, if there is life in me.
(Hum:4 •As to the colour (green) to which somuch im-
portance has been attached, it is like a deleterious plant
that poisons all things on which it sheds its venomous
hue—an evergreen Gentleman—a deadly hue—a night-
shade; but we are the persons who will. destroy this
composition of green wood and orange flowers. I'll
pluck it up by the roots. (Laughter). Lord Stanley was
not content with bringing in one Member, his dandy son,
but he must hook on a second. if the connexion stands
—if this poor creature, Wood, continues your Member,
Earl Derby will be able to lay his claws on your borough,
as easily as any other,titlatyrarit rules any close borough
in England; so that poor Wood, like a young bear,has
all his sorrows befote him. I told you that you ought;
to have one Merriber, at least, experienced, clever, and,
able to dia ye good. I said that I had no claims. if I
vete notable to do some good for ye. Woodacknow.
ledges he is not able to do any good %rye ; he is a timid,
uembling, creature, and incompetent to serve the in.
terests of your fine town of Preston. I have the real
majority of votes—the hearts of the people—(Huns.)
I thank you from the bottom of my beam. The publ c
spirit of the tosyniof Preston is greater than I ever met
with, evn hi:America. I never can be sufficiently
grateful to you. I never shall forget the honest and in-
dependent town of Preston. Your spew of hands the
St dal' of the election proved to me and the world
ibai I was the man of your c hoice. Good night." (Marra.)
Tlie Committees of the several Candidates are now
busily .employed in discharging the different claims cn
aCCOSIIIL of the election. It is a sad reckoning with some.
An idea may be formed of the scale of expense from
the following :
Staff Alen . . Es. per day each
Messengers . Si. per day
Captains of Messenger, . Ss. per day
Bandmen (Mr. Cabbett's) . Es. per day
Do. (Mr. Wood's) . 10s. per day
Do. Mr. Stanley's . . es. per day

The difference in the payment is accounted for by the drams.
stanct that Mr. Stanley's men were hired at a time when the'
market was low, and !dr. Wood's when it was very high fades*
About four o'clock this day the ceremonial of a mock
chairing took place through the principal streets of
Preston. It was indeed a most amusing specimen of
practical burlesque. The Committee of Management
consisted of four ex-weavers, who have devoted the
whole twenty-four hours in each day of the last fortnght
to the amusement of getting drunk. The first thing
they required of those who wished to do honour to
the occasion, was, that they should not be able to
snore three feet without assistance. About 60 exceed.
ingly drunk and very wofully-attired persons, formed
themselves into a sort of procession, being under the
necessity of leaning against the wall for a considerable
t.me before it could advance. The beadle of the parish
was the person chosen for the very perilous duty of
occupying the triumphant chair on the occasion, and
nothing but a perfect oblivion as to all things could
surely have made him insensible to the dangers he was
abcut ie encounter. By the help of one or two by-
standers, he was first cf all placed in a crazy one-
legged chair, and in that state he and the chair were
abandoned to the doubtful support of five or six
of the party. 'They began to move—it was an est--
quisite scene—the principal persons wore some very
coarse Boer in the absence of hair powder; two worn-
out brooms served to remind the spectators of flags and
banners; and one blind fiddler performed the musical
functions required by the occasion. Such a spectacle
was the ragged line of poor drunken creatures. They
went this way, they went that ; zig-zag was the order
of the movement. Such cursing, such jogging, such
blubbering ; but to I the eccleciastical establishment bad
almost been curtailed of its beadle. The chair, after a
variety of " all buts," absolutely fell, and with it the
poor beadle. No accident happened; he was put to sleep.

This forenoon we received the Arabian 05servsr of
the 17th inst. On the suthotity of leuess from Con-
stantinople, of the 25th of May, it annnuncei the death
of one of the most distinguished of the theraas, named
ARABEADE EFFENDI, at the age of above a hundred
years; he once filled the office of Mufti : his son, LIMA.
DULLAH EFFENDI, is a member of the Divan, Kadisakee
of Anatolica, and tole heir of a large fortune. Suoli:
an instance of official longevity is, we presume, slops..r
ralleled in Turkey. How many Sovereigns. and how.
many colleagues must ARABEADIE EFFENDI have lost
by the bow-string, the bowl, or the dagger, during
the century he lived in the world !
• The Au:trios Observer also states that, at the begin. 7
ning of this month, affrays, attended with bloodshed.
took place at Syra, between the adherents of &ARCH
DIULEA (notorious for his violent proceedings against i
French merchants and even the French Consul) and
the party of the new Governor, METAZA, who was sent
trout Napoli di Romania. Sme hundred persons
were killed on both sides, and several houses and ware-
houses were plundered.

the Oriented Spectator of Smyrna states that on the
SOtb of April, being Easter Sunday, according to the
Greek Calendar, the Greeks at Smyrna celebrated that
festival with solemnity and with the greatest trancoillity.
The Turkish guard under arms preserved order and'
quirt. Public games on a spot by the sra side afforded'
the Greeks of all ages various kinds of amusement at
very moderate prices. Nothing occurred to distdrb
these festivities, which continued to the 3cl of May.
Hence the Journslist infers that religion has nothing to
do with the Greek insurrection.

Capt. HAMILTON displays great activity and humanity
in his command in the Greek Archipelago, and many
individuals, both Turks and Greeks, have been rescued
by him from horrible deaths. As the piracies of the
Greeks increase, his force is now as mach employed in
punishing these buocaniers u in succouring the dis.
tressed. The Oriental Spectator contains thy following
account of his la:e operations:
