Agincourt."—This is a very good argument for the —A season of fasting, humiliation, and mourn. annual celebration of that day ; but we are at a . mg would, at this awful crisis, be much more loss to comprehend how it applies to the end rational, appropriate, and congenial with the soh. of the 49th year of the reign of his present timents of those who fret—the PEOPLE of MAJESTY. 46 The 50th year of the King's reign ought to ENGLAND. be dear to every-Briton," says Mr. FLarcinst l , " for in the 50th year of iluxuy 111. in 1265, " the people were called to a share of the Legis. " lature ; in that year was seen the first dawn of " the !louse of Commons." Very true-wand •in the year 1809, was seen the humiliating spec tacle of that very House of Commons refusing to lass a vote of censure on Lord Castlereagh.eitid ,Co. on an accusation of trafficking in scats. In deed, Mr. FLETCHER, the an,ll , ,gy is happily conceived! ! !---and the Committee of the City Illuminati, amongst %hum are so many M. P.'s, will doubtless avail themselves of this really striking argument. Mr. FLETCHER then, after referring to Leviticus, informs us, that " the Divine Mercy in the celebration of this 16 festival was eminently exemplified—the captive,- " the slave, the poor, the friendlebv, the op. 44 pressed" (vide the Assessed and Income Tux) 44 had real cease to rejoice? A constant reader of The Morning Herald, in l i -a letter to the Editor of that respectable Print, is surprised " that in a Christian country, where " the Bible is the most common book in the lan. * 44 guage, there should be so many people who are " so lamentably ignorant of its contents as not to " have a correct idea of a Jubilee, or at what 66 time it ought to take place." . We beg leave, to remark, that this Gentleman is ander &slight mistake in assuming that the Ju. bike commanded by the-City Iluminati, has the slightest reference to the religious ceremony of thile native commanded in the Old Testament. At bail we have not yet discovered, in the advertisementi of the said Illuminati, any symptoms by vs hich the analogy is discoverable. The Jubilee of the Jews was evidently for the purpose of itictilcating the doctrine of forgiveness, and the general relief of the people. Of the Jubilee of Cie City Illuminati, all that we know 'I., that there will be a great deal of very excellent eating and drinking on the 45th of October. The al..' tempt of the tallow-holders and oil-Merchank has failed—the public will not swallow that. hoax--they will be content' to swallow the good things at Merchant Taylors' Hall. We have heard nothing of the release of debtors or { prisoners, wliich were necessary, though perhaps truing, circumstances in the observance of tills ceremony. On dart subject the Merchants andßank. 1 en are silent —and we apprehend that the creditors of the Banking House that has unfortunately de clared its inability to go on, will not receive the slightest indulgence from any of the Illuminati who concur in the txpediencyof a J übilee. The truth is, that a hibike, in the sense in which 'it is now commanded, has nothing to do with the religious' . Ceremonies either of the Jews, or those of 1 he• Christians established by the. Popes—and littlest!, if it had, the celebration every 49th year becomes as indispensible cosniition, which we have hitherto hs England most lamentably and Culpably ne4- lected. The only reference which it bears to that of the Jews, .is in the derivation of the word.— Every one knows, or may know, by referring to. tioseson se BAILEY, that Jubilee means a season offesticity,rrjnieing, and triumph. The Nostra. dolt of toe word in BAILEY, frout the celebrated Dr.., S OTH, 64 0 Jubilee of Neason,", we admit to be totally inapplicable to the Jubilee of the City IS lisminati. In holland; when a married pair base 'ived together '25 years, the accomplishment of that period is celebrated on the last day of the 25th year by a Jubilee, there termed a silver tanking. Those who have the happiness to piss together a period of fifty years, repast the .fubike by a Festival termed Golden Ito:tiding. Celebrations of the completion of ciprtain portions of time arc, in like manner cos. i tomery, not only on the Continent of &trope, hut in other parts of the world—but to celebrate a Guide's Wedding at the expiration of the 49th year would be like presenting a bill of classmate at two months dice, on the last day of .the first month.
