THE JUBILEE PROCEEDINGS AT WINDSOR. Unremitting preparations for the celebration of this Festival, around the favoured residence of Royalty, had been.mal.•iug for a considerable time it.tst, but did not publicly appear till the everting of the preceding day; ell Windsor then became a scene of bui.tle and activity. A Triusnyhal Arch was erected in the Market-Place, and anotiser in Sheet-air. et, leading duet, to Bachelors'-Acre.— The Town-Lull was concerted into bowers of laurel, jitter= ngled with transparencies, and the Bachelors of Windsor paraded the streets with colours flying, drums beating; and the carcases of an ox and two t4icet, which were destined to be roasted w hole for the it entertainment on the following day. Day-light, au the Jubilee morn, war ti,herel in c.itli clitictiarges of artillery and ringi ng of keno; the tatter of which continued, with short intermissions, during the day, and the former was repeatetinta tiery remarkable occasion. At two o'clock iu the asoruing the us-rosating commenced, in a field ad !• tang the lowa, celled "The Baehelors'-A. le. - The ' apperatus for aueconplishing this work contiated of two Immense raligcs for the firer, supported by brick-work'. At each extremity, a triangle, of largo poles, supported a licam n from which the carcase was suspender:, by • chain, between the Mather beam served for a spit, and relays of scar men at a time, two at each cud, where there were ionveniont handles, kept the whole in a rota tory, motion. Ilotwt John Os was neither shaved about the head, nor deprived of his horns, cud had a very curious avintrauce, as, tressed like a rabbit, he pe•formed his smolin4 revolutions. A propor •tionalily eapacions tin vessel received the dripping. and another tin teasel, perforated with hales, sur mounting hie bulk, was used for the equal distribu tion of the bastilive, ' Outside of the fire-places the • alters' were matted, forming formidable genic...cone patsies to the bady in the centre. 'They were put to the fire about nine o'clock. The ox was stuffed with a final:. and a half of ',undoes, and was a donation to the fewer orders, from Captain Fenwick, of the • Shies. This Asap were given by Mr. Adams, and aMr. Bannister, flis rMrrjeary's butchers. A little aidtcr to o'clock, fiis Muiesty, accompanied by the lrfinces,es Augusta sits- &phis. the Dukes of York, Kent, Sussex, and Cumberhutd, anal many of the Nobility, rode on horseback, in the park. His Majesty looked extremely well; and walked l o ots the door to his horse, and mounted, whitest the least aseistance. The Quhm, soon after the depollute of the cavalcade, weal in her carriage, with the Princes., Entatieth, to Frog-wore, to see that .1.1 t..e pre:) . .eittenis far the fete in the evening lout beel csnitplete.:.

The Royal Party immediately reins-fled to the Castle, to which Fier Majesty had also by tht• time returned. At out o'clock 11cr Majesty, with the Pei d etb,e• and Royal Duke,. ; Lord. Uxbrid g e, Dartmouth, Arden, laud St. Helen's ; Ileileater, Crstili, and several other's of the Noble persons who had arrived at the Castle, visited the Rachelors"-Acre.—They paused through the house of Mr. Borridge. lodrUtil which a Pavilion wativected for their reception, from ahenre th-y had a full view of :he cooking b. lore. From this Miami'', with colours flying, they were conducted by a walk down :'se Slope, which on , b oar ded and rudest in. mod inspected the ox and slice p as they fisnalied thew ,aettitur carecr.— They the'. returned to the l'acihnoi, frn.n whence e pasty of the ilac!iiilor• of Mgt.!, ta.ereltvil slows, to take the fire cat out of tty.rt, •and catty on waivers, to be tasted by their Ituyal and Noble N . catorss.

Foir full-leugth figures adorned the base ; vis. Possums, Vora. Faunas% snd Baevkds. These were surmounted on each side with }rowans of their Majesties, and these, in their turn, surmount, d by pyramids of trophies...46e centre was crowned with the Regal Arms, and inscribed, on nue side, " Cod Save the Kisql." on the other, " The King and Coriatitutions" The arch-in Sheet-street was of equal height with the foregoing, and erected in honour of the day by Kr. Tippet, His Majesty's c.arpenter.—The centre was surmounted by a large medallion of the King, and inscribed, " Nay the King live for ever!" Both the arches were trans parencies, and almost covered with lamps. Indeed the town of Windsor was, from end to end, a trans parency.—There was scarcely a house which did not boast one at least. Some of them wire very tasteful and appropriate. One had a likeness of His Majesty, with this inscription, from our im mortal hard : Ma) he live loug Imager t►au I Lave time to toll his cars !

In the forenoon, the Corporation and, the Volun teers attended divine service in the church ; and, at four o'clock, the prianipal inhabitants partook of a sumptuous dinner in the Town Hall. The Hall was adorned with Limn:hes of laurel ; and in four of the '.inclows were transparencies, emblematical of Britannia, Jastice, Prudence. end Teropereruce, The upper end was occupied by a large trartviti-• reocy. reps estoting a Medallion of the King, on a stable column, upon which the Bye of Prop/Jenne beamed with the utmost splendour. Time *HA re carding las virtues on a scroll, on.whicia the worth, "The Father of his People" appeared written. The Genies if Britain, crowning the medallion with laurel, and emblems of security, happiness, plenty, i/e. filled up the rest of the canvas. Hi. hhieny ' , undressed in the Windsor uniform, es were. also the Princes and Nobility. The Queen, Princesses. sod Ladies, appeared in Royal Purple, which was generally worn by the fashion• able world, in honour of the Jubilee.

One of time chief ornaments of Frogrriore. however, was to be found is the Jubilee bust of the King, which Turnerelli had the honour to present to the Queen, at the eiatle. in the morning. It was then carried down to Frogrnore, and placed, under lifer Majesty's direction, in front of the grand mirror, in the red j pun room. Thu., all opportunity would lie af forded to the high personages, at the lodge, to ad mire • work im honourable to the ',Lase el the arta in Britain, and so pre-eminently pram:v . 4rd by ;he Queen anti Royal Family ; whose gratification at witnessing the execution of so exquisite a likeness, was repeatedly, awl, fur the artist, road dutteriogly expressed. The whole of the Royal Family paid their re spects. and congratulated is Majesty so this me. mumble day, with the exception of the Princesses Mary and Amelia, and the Duke of Cambridge, who are at Weymouth. The Princess of Wales did not visit Windsor on this occasion, but what mat the cause of her absence we did not asckrtisist.--. Neither was the Duchess of York present; her Royal Highness being, is we learnt, confined to her sipartinents by lameness sad indisposition. • The concourse of people who visited Wffielsor tva4 very great. Thousands of peri•wis, from the distance of fifty miles ro ((((( I, journeyed to have the pl. asure of beholding their Sovereign sod his Fa mily at so remarkable a periol. Their trouble they seemed to think amply compensated by the plea sure of seeing him, his Queen, aid all his children, rung in high health and spirit., elevated by the demonstrations of joy and loyalty did our• rounded them. His Majesty.oa coming out from the castle in the morning, wee cougratulated on his appearing so well and healthy. He replied, " 1 feel quite i.trong; and, if my poor eyes were better, l should have no cause of complaint." Owing to the fAir taking place on Tuesday, the throng was much augmeuted, and beds were not to be procure:l, at inns or private house', at less than from lialf-a-guiuea to a guinea each. Lust night their prices were raised to double those sums. Balls, entertainments, fireworks, aud illumina tions, concluded this, the gayest day, that ever Windsor witnessed. , PROCEEDINGS IN LONDON. The celebration of the Jubilee commenced, yes terday, at 6 o'clock, with the ringing of bells.— The morning was remarkably tine, and the streets were crowded at an early hour with people. all dressed to the best advantage. The city of Lon don emptied itself iuto Westminster ; and the in habitants of Westminster changed places, for the moment, with those of the city ; the Borough of Southwark also-furnished its full proportion ; who perambulated every quarter of this great metro polio, containing not less than 140,0ti0 persons. Attbough an illumination was discouraged. upon the wound, that the money necessary for that purpose would be more rationally expended. in adding to the comforts of the poor. it was evident, from the great number of tnenspurencias and devices in preparation, that it would lie very general.---r These preparations, which commented at ,in early hour, afforded much innusenteut to the people, in their perainbulation through the streets. The several Volunteer Corps also began to muster at an early hour. and increased the life and bustle, as well us theditersity of the scene. In the west end . the town, St. James's Park formed a principal object of attraction. It was uncommonly crowd. ed, and displayed much fashion. The ladies wore silver medallions, with the motto is God save the King." in !amour of the day ; and the army, called nut to lite sje•a-tle-jaie upon the occa sion, greatly heightened the effect. They formed a hue forma theQueesix.House to Spring-garden gate, %here their arms acre piled. They tilled the middle walk of the Park, where, reflecting the sun hr.ins, they made a most brilliant display. Alars aud Venus appeared to have met together, aud ammuoned all their votaries to boil the happy day. In the vast email of the town, the low:cesium of ti le Loan MA•eritt, Aldermen, kr. to St. Piles Church, was the aitiotitive object of the moruitsg. Vt k the Luau, lklsveis proceeded to ( uildhall, where lie was ma by the Sheritiii.

The Church was crowded to excess, and thou sands went away, who could not be accommodated. In the afternoon, the Aldermen and Common Council were entertained at the bfataiou.house , by the Loin MAYOR, according to his invitation at the late meeting, when a dinner, at the expense of the Corporation, was the subject of debate. About this time the crowd in the streets received a great ac cession front the people going to or coming from church, lipid the volunteer corps, consistnig of the Bloomsbury, &c. (for it would be superfluous to enumerate them all,) added greatly to the beauty isf the scene; the bells, at intervals, resumed their merry pelt; and the Oneness of the slay com ing in aid of all the power of artifleial means. ;ac onited one of the moat grateful Ppectarles that the capital of any country ever exhibited to the rye of au observer. It would greatly exceed our hinds. were we to attempt to enter into a detail of the Va.. rioua charitable donation% dial ributed in the course of the morning. Tliefwere sot confined to the parishes which bad determined, at their public meetings, to devote the money, tier:emery for =Minion, to the one of the indigent. Every pe rish distributed seat, drink, amid money, but in diferetit proportions ; and, on the other band, in those parishes which had declared. richt sively, for charitable purposes, the illumioatiou was as general as in any other. The number of iudividuals, who, endowed with extraordinary mean*, contributed to add trilby extraordinary en joyments of the day, ass also coosidetable.—Cha rity amid Islalty went baud and hash ; and it may be truly said, that th e r e w as mot so individual, yes serilay, to this great metropolis, who wanted the comforts of life. Amorist the moat appropriate donatioss given by t individtials, that of Mr. Jostle, Mardixl of the king:. Bench Prison, dors not sta n d last; a 611 e Ltitlock , e-,h ung upwards el' sixty stone, a butt of strong I.,•rr, and bread i■ pro portion, the gift of that gentleman, were equally divided amongst such of We pritoners muter list care as chose to partake of them. But the most interesting part of this extra erJunity business, com menced with the approach of night. The din minations were very general, and the brilliancy of some devices, and the inge •ty of oiliest, were greatly attractive. We give a list, but it is confined to the principal streets, and can only be rew.rded as a specimen of the whole. The most retired and private streets furbished somethiug, many of them a great deal, ou the occasion. In the great variety of matter of this kind, it would be an act of injustice, if we were not to puttee !arise the device in fropt of_ Mr. Cowes's, 'leer Temple-bar, in the Strand. It heel all the Gish of a piece displayed at the annual exhibition at s a „ merset House, and in rielm.•as and 1,, 3 3, 4nr y . ". ceetled any thing ever exhibited r, any theatre ; it was of course the great centre of attruct . the night. The crowd in front of it, although the street is very wide, was almost.inspervirstst, em d thousands or carriages adopt in their passage to do it homage. This beautiful transparency, we un derstand. will be lighted up again this night. It co with difficulty we bare written so far, restreinin g our expression of the pleasure which we felt its the conduct of the publie on this occasion. The illu mination being only general, had there been any dt,pn s iti on to t It, it had a full and iiteiting opportunity to she*• itself. is endeavours to make. under the mask of affection to the Sovereign, that partial iilu o ninatiun,uuivereal. But no attempt of the kind WWI made. There was nothing to disturb the public peace. Where a dark house presented it self in ■ prominent situation, a few boys cried out Li4Lts !" but the call liaised away unheeded, mill oo effort was made to enforce the sumeurati. It would be imp ostible to zewseeive air instance of greater propriety and decorum than this metropolis exhibited through the whole of yesterday. We have net heard of a single case o f quarrel even between two thing almost iemerwelmble•, when we consider the crossing and jostling that must have occurred in se great a crowd. All tows good nature, good Imalear, and loyalty, up to owe o'clock this morning ; when the great aud. extraordinary day of Jubilee hid passed away, and left this greet metropolis mu Its usual course.
