The first of August is the day fixed for the Grand Jubilee in celebration of the late glorious fees a—at the same time that it is a slay of joyous commemoration to this country from the grateful. recollection of other happy events It is the Celt teitary of the Accession of the Brunswick Family to the Crown of England, arid it is moreover the Anniversary of the glorious Victory of the Nile.— Th e following dispositions have been made for the accomouldatiOm and happioess of all orders : Hyde Park is entirely open. to the people, with even a greater profusion of amusements than the other two. The Green'Park is also to be thrown entirely open to the people ;'.lthe part within the circular fence, being enclosed merely for the mili tary and artificers engaged in the business of the tire-works, and not as has hoen represeUted, tor' the reception of company. . Th e M a ll also !s;t. James's Park, which gill be beautifully illuminated, will be opea to the people, who will kive a tree passage - from Spring gardens and New street, up to Constitution Hill, iturd trill thereby et-unman(' a full view • of every part of- the fire-works, an other exhibitions to to be displayed in St..James's P..trk, as well as the other two. The Lawn and back part of St. James's Park will be reserved foe the accommodation of those who may pus c.. ist. tickets to avoid a crowd.— Theseversous may assure themselves, that every precaution is taken for their happiness, comfort, And security, as well as fur that of the people, %rho may not chose to purchase tickets ; and, indeed, the general- good huinottr and conteutmenr, whicts cannot but prevail in all ranks and in every quar ter, from the, Studious attention Unit has beeu paid to the wishes of all, is a sufficient pledge uk universal harmony and good order. - There is abundance of arnuseineut proVided for ,ti and space enough in the three Parks for double the po pulation of this great Metropolis. it ,must he ob served also, that to prevent an inconvenient pres sure in any one. i!oint, all the amusements in the_ three Parks will proceed at the same time. One oh- jeet alone would never have sufficed for the gratifi cation of all. It is obvious, indeed, that in a great ptiblic assembly such as the :ensuing Jubilee, wit? cannot possibly see every thing. Individuals are therefore requested to bear this in .mind, as;the attempt' at constant change of position front one Park to the other, can only tend tp. the disap pointment of themselves .and that ol'others. .111 point of variety and extent, the amusements - in Hyde Park will unquestionably exceed all ()tilers; including the Naumachia, in which Will be shewn, the celebrated manceuvre prpetised liy‘the immor tal NELSON at Trafalgar, of advancing in two lines to bleak the erreiny's line, tfrawn up in the form of a crescent, the defeat of the enemy, and the destruction of the fleet by fire-ships in the 6y ening—ii*pendeht of which the large flights-of girrtndoles of rackets, consisting of some• thousands in a flight, will he fired exclu sively in Kensingtoo Gardens. Bands of Musics and other accommodations for dancing, and the illumination with Chin*, lanterns', will a lso be extended to Hyde Park, while the general effect ofthe evening's amusement. will be infinitely heightened by the moon being then at the full, Ivhich, although its` light will have no power to diminish the brilliancy . of fireworks on so great a scale, will give an additional spleadour anti cheer fulness to the scene, and ensure universal deco rum anti good order: • THE LYCEUM 4" - "M CooKE, who, with his wife, performed one or two years ago at this Theatre, appeared on Saturday in The Siego Belgnide,- in which he supported the part of 'The Seraskier: He is a good musician, both as a performer on the violin and a composer, but his voice is not of the best, and he is too much inclined towards the flourishing titylc 'of singing, which has nearly put au end to simplicity_and expression.
