THE JUR liE 1;:.

Ma. goeroz—permit a plain and unlettered
man, advocating the cause of humanity. to occupy
a small apiece in your excellent paper. Haying
heard touch of the proposed feastings and rejoicings
on account of the approaching Jubilee, I was
tu-
ditced to tura to the Bible, to inform myself of its
oriel and its purport ; and, on perusing the g5lll
chapter of the book of Leviticus, 1 !Mood it to be a
soleinn and dignified festival, ordained by Gad
himself, and founded on the principles of humanity,
charity and benevolence; an tin of good works,
and an acquittal of a sacred debt of grati-
tude, due from man to his Creator. The troth
verse of this chapter particularly arrested my
attention, as by it I see, that, not ouly the Rich
are to rejoice, but the sweets of liberty are to be
Proclaimed throughout the land ; the poor un-
toppy prisoner, victim to the malicious ;semen-
tier% of an obdurate and merciless creditor, .who,
month after month, has lingered • in misery, torn
'iron his home, end separated from every connec-
sion dear to man—he is to b= restored to the
'bosom of his family, sod to return to those
autistic comforts, deprived of which, life itself is a
islaiskl—Glorious emanation of Divine Mercy ! that
lightens up the countenance of the wretched, and
makes the hopeless prisoner sing for joy !—On
whose heart, Mr. Editor, will these f.a.lings take
more effect, than on that of our aged, respected,
and hi-loved Munareli, to celebrate whose religious
reign this Jubilee is to be kept ? I bare beard of
intended city frostings; I have beard of intended
city ; but, Sir, it is not either by
feasting or illumination, hut by good works only,
that the J iihilee COX be kept, if kept it is to lie. sto
the spirit of the Divine Institutor. Ilelieve the
wretidtel, and set the prisoner free ! let eve* man
Worn to the bosom of his family ! For, if these acts
of huinalli/Y, so expressly ordained in the very
words of Scripture. are neglected ; then is this
Jubilee tie Jubilee of man, and not as ordained of
Cod.

The Illu.trious Predecessors of His present Ma-
jesty. Edward the Intl. and Henry the II Id.. whose
length of reign affonled their happy subjects the
felicity of celebrating similar Jubilees to the ap-
proaching one, evidently viewed it in this light ;
us on each of those occasions the prisons wave
thrown open, the prisoners released. and (as God
ordained) " every 1111111 re: urntvl unto Iris family."
Where, then, is the 1111411 chsloyal enough to wish
this Jubilee of His present Majesty to he deprived
of such glorious ornaufent., as the disponsation of
mercy, and the relief of the distressed ? or where
the man who would not forward and advise so be-
nevolent a measure ? It is possible, that, through
the medium of tour excellent Pape!, these hints
may be taken up by these who have the ear of Ma-
jesty, and the paw& of recommending them to
practice.-1 am, Sir, your's, Ike.

COURT Or eo.vmoy com\cm, sg,t. so.

JUBILEE.

The Court assembled about II o'clock, sad con-
tinued transacting private bulginess. reading the
minutes of the last Court, and debating the goes-
few' of the right of Mr. Dance, clerk of the
works, to alienate his office, till nearly two o'clock.
Mr. Alderman WOOD then brought up the Re-
port of the C nittee, uitpoiated het Court, ,6 to
consider of the best weans of celebrating the ap-
proaching nmeiversary of His Majesty's accessioa
to the thruue, on the Yetis day of October next,
being the day oil which His Majesty ewers the
50th year of his reign." This Report stated, that
the Commhtee were of opinion, that the Corpora-
tion al Id attend divine service at St. Paul's, to
return thanks to Alinigrey God, for lengtheniag
the reign of our Sovereign ; that they should pre-
sent a congratulatory Address to His Majesty on
the occasion ; that the fmut of the Guildhall
should be illurnivated in the reciting ; but that
they considered a Corporation dinner es neither
expedient nor necessary. (LetrAkter.) Mr. Alder-
man Wood then stated, that he had signed the
Report, as President of the Committee, coustideriog
it his duty te adopt any act of theirs, without pledg-
ing himself to hold the same I:trillions. Indeed,
there were two of the mottoes contained in it which
he did not mewl to support. Ile west to the Com-
mittee with the intention to oppose their dining to-
gether ; but, being culled to the Chair as senior
Alderman, had not delivered his objections so fully
as he would otherwise have done. He had no ols-
jection to their going to Church to return thanks to
God. nor to t`e! Addreat, even though palate:it
matter might he mixed on its it. which he couiJ
Dot think called fur. But he protested against d.
laminations, a hich militated against the first ob-
ject of their hate item, the peace of the City. If
the front of Guildhall was illuminated, it would be
a signal for general illumination throughout the
City ; and vet such, he knew, was not the universal
wish of its inhabitants. He would also ask if the
City could set such au example to the country,
amid the general mourning with which it was filled?
While mothers, sisters, and wives, were weeping for
their dearest connexions, lost on foreign shores,
however much they might respect His Majesty,
such demonstrations of their attachment could not
be expected.
Mr. GRIFFITH, rose to order, as there was no mo-
tion before the Court.

Mr. %VOOO said, it was usual for gentlemen to
preface muttons with half-hour's or hour's obser-
vations.

Mr. Merßlor•r declared, that the lino. Alder-
man *booth' not be diaterbed is Ina motions !

Mr. MAID thea staled hi* motion to be, "That
the Court should egret with the Report of their
Committee."

Mr. Heim animadverted on the impropriety of
aepoiating Committees, which, like the present,
were, and shelved themselves to be, averse to the
resolutions they recommended, or the general wish-
of the body appointing them. These 0w...0"m"
would neither go to church, nor to tit. James s; and,
if the Corpoes6oll adopted the Ineastleet they pro.
posed, would it not be to throw a slight upon His
Majesty Would it be said, that the Corporation
of London, so fond of eating and drinking, could
he so mean and parsimonious, on that day, (the
50th anniversary), as to go home mid eat their
mottos, chops by themselves ?—(Laughter.) For
the honour and dignity of the Corporation, he
trusted, they would meet, dine together, and drink
His Majesty's health, and rather forego a dinner ou
Lord Mayor's day, thaw on the present occasion.
Sir Jou* EAU! La expressed his regard fur
hip fellow-citizens, and attachment to His Majesty.
The Committee had neglected to prepare an Ad-
dress ; and if no one more chic took up that tmk,
he would have the honour of submitting one.
Mr. °stencils said, he never saw the last
speaker but our at St. Paul's ; and as he never
went there, he Mai surprised he could assert who
did, or who did not, attend.

Mr. Hulas—" This is asserting a falsehood."
Mr. Deputy Kunsan, to order, called on the
Lord Mayor to put a stop to persoanliiies, which
were too frequent among them.
Mr. GRIP VIII" observed, that the last speaker
would toot have noticed this matter, had he known
the birth and education of the person he reproved.
Loud cries of order!) The Report, in his opinion,
would do honour to the city, as, instead of what
was before called the sin* qua new of their pro-
ceediugs•—a dinner—it recommended to return
thanks to God for preserving the life of the best of
Sovereigns : and to pray that those who succeeded
him might have as much good in their breasts, as
he had displayed for forty-nine years.
Mr. S. Dixon prOpused, that the different parts
of the Report should be put separately : lit. With
respect to going to church. Idly. On the propriety
of un Address ; and so on as to the illumination and
dinner. He was free to confess, he was not one of
those new reformers. who thought a good dinner,
and a cheerful glass or wine, offensive to the Al-
mighty. He then moved, " That the Report
should be read, clause by claque, and the
.opinion
of the Court be taken on each."
This question being post, was carried ; and, on
the first minion, that the Corporation shoold go to
Church, to return thanks to Almighty God, &c.
Mr. W A trim A N said, he had attended the Com-
mittee, and subscribed the Report, although he did
not think it inch as the Court ought to approve ;
bat he considered himself as only one of a number
there, and reserved his opposition toll Coe matter
came to he discussed in th Court. A gentleman
(Nlr. Herne) had asserted, that the Committee was
composed of persons iuitnical to the opinions of the
Court. For hi► port. he thotiltht four out of five of
them were-friendly to the nieasnre of the dinner
and as for that gentleman himself, he sat in the
Committee, apparently in a state of couvnlsieu,'sml
saw those resolutions carried unaaimonsly. That

there should be no dinner, was proposed by a very
respechible uealleinau, who generally differed in
opinion frinn hitn.and it was then very extraordinary,
that he (Mr. Ileriie) should °flir no opposition.
Why did not the Hot. Bernnet (Sir W. Curtis) who
set this business on foot, attend and give it his sup-
port ? Ills cowluet she.*ed bow far his loyalty carried
hint. In the kat Court he (Mr. W.) had reviewed the
stairs of the prevent reign, to 0r.... that there was
little subject of congratulation. In this review he

,Aa•lm•

bad necessarily onsittoi many tbii:go, which would
have added to Isis arguments. He had told his
friends lie would take this him of coittluct, and they
had tried to ilissaade liiin from it, 0.4 because they
did out agree with hitn, but because they thought
the question was only agitated for the purpooe of
raising a name of Isyalty, and casting an odious oa
such us might oppose it. They told him. be
would thereby be subject to the elairge of dislisj-
ally, and lie retulered unpopular; but lie did not
care one farthing for popitlarity, mid would uuly
consent to wear it if be wen it. He congretuloted
himself us having brought many great and inspnrt-
aut points forward fur their consideratiou, before
they came to a vote ou this quest . As to going
to chinoli, he cools' see nu objection, nor even to
the Athlrewit were such a tint)/ isecessury to lista Is-
htar their loyalty ; or were it requisite to give an
proof of it ; or if they could discover any theme hie
con,,,ratulatiou. It appeared to him a puzzling teak
to do so, without carrying to the Ropil ear. gross
nod infamous Falsehoods ; or in 'kite:. their Address
appear iu the light of ridicule. In his former 011ie.
went, lie had taken a view of the situation of. the
country, from His Majesty's acerssion to the present
meisteot. At the former part of that period, we were
guided by the greatest Minister the cautery ever
saw, the 'rumen»! Chathatn ! We were at peace
with all he world. Soon after, however, squabbles
took place. which nieiettled the country. Thou
followed Wilkes's time, which surely afforded no sub.
ject for congratulation. He had then token a rapid
view of intervening events, and 'Mewed that there
were no causes for rejoicing, previous to the Anse-
ricsis War. As they could not congratidate OD any
occasion previous to that period, so neither could
they ou the subject of that most unprincipled and
calamitous war, which was the Pewee of all they
now suffered. In their own times, what was there
to dwell oil with liatisfuction ? What slid the lust 16
years furnish of food for coogratulatien ? How, and
in what manner could they perform this task, w ithont
offering am insult to the King cud to the people ?
He would ask, if they could cougratulate on the fre-
quent suspensions of the ilabros Corpora Act, and
of the Constitution ?—[Here Mr. W. was called to
Order, as wandering from the question before the
Court, which was, simply, is to the propriety of
the Corporation going to Church.)---Tbey were
to go to Church to thank God—for what ? For no-
thing that he could see, save and except for pro-
longing the life of His Mojesty. He could not tell
in whet manner to draw up an Address...(i 'Very
possible," exclaimed Mr. Dioan).-11 a Gentle-
titan, who was very feud r f poetical illustrations,
(Mr. Alderman Birch), had been present, he,
perhaps, might have hero able to assist them.
Could they address on the treason and sedi-
two bills, which sent many innocent men to
gaols, and to transportation, for saying what had
since been said, in much stronger language, by
Ministers of the Crown ? Could they congratulate
hits Mojesty for not being heavily bodily ialtlieted
(crier of order!) Or could they congratulate him
on the state: of his family? Were our foreign tears
. subject for complacency, by which this nation
was plunged into infamous perils and expense;
and the War-Minister declared he could sot
tell for what ?—A war which had cost us snore
than all our wars since the Revolution, and in
which, though we had won battles, we had lost
every object for which we fought. They must,
therefore, pass over all these things in the Address
—all that period of scandalous waste of money, and
of lives. They would then rouse to the present time
—and, instead of finding matter furexisltation, they
would discover, that, if ever there was a moment
which called for inquiry • and investigation tato the
hares of miscarriages, this was that period. Yet
this subtle contrivance was substituted, for the
purpose of defeating this object; as they could not
go up to the Throne with a cougrutnlation in one
band, and a call for inquiry in the other. •Could
they praise the Convention of Centro P They must
his " duller than the dull weed that rots en
Lethe's bank," if they could amuse themselves on
such in oecasion. The blood of Britons was
thrown away by one stroke of the pen. There was
enough in this rt*ection to make any matt grave.
Could they congratulate on the answer His Ma-
jesty was on that occasion advised to return to their
Address ? If they did, it would be to pass a censure
on themselves, for acting as became mess and Bri-
tons, if inquiry bad then been instituted, as they
required, they would never have had to lament
such an expedition as that to Hullauil. They
would never have heard of the rapid Malta of'
Lord Talavera into Spain, and his as rapid re.
treat. The honours of the nation would not have
been lavished as they lied beets. If the people
gave tivir money liberally, they had a right to have
it uccoated for. Every object of the war was lost ;
and, above all, the lest expedition was most cats-
t ous. and even a more foul dishonoar thartillobat
befel the country at Cintra. It was a misery, de-
struction, disgrace, and dishonour, not to be equal-
led in oar history. Could they, then, he content,
and not call for trial, upon those who bud sa-
crificed the lives of thousands, at a time when
they were an much wanted for the defence of
their country ? This shallow contrivance of an
Addrees, was one of those political tricks he
had through life complained of, anti was meant
to extinguish inquiry. Was the Income Tax a
subject of congratulation ? Or could tneLapplaud
the conduct of those, who, if necessary at all, had
rendered it so? It would be some alleviation, were
our expeditious wisely planned or conducted ; boa
out of 300. staff-officers, which was one half more
than Bonaparte had iii all his armies, what could
be said for men who would select a Whitelocke, a
Sir Hew Dalryouple--and, not warned liy failures
or experieuce, even after them, a Chatham ?
/ Hear ! Hear .ll—Could they congratulate on
such elections as thew ? Our troops were as brave
as brave could Ise, but so officered, nothing rm.
curredkut disaster. Look also at the Contusion-
nat. and they would see our array starving in
Spain, and compelled to ret"eat from famine, after
achieving a bloody victory. Under such alarming
circumstances, what could they find for congratu-
lation ? Look also at our Ambassadors, of whop
there were thirty. with I,cusiona to the amount of
4,0001. per annum. and saircrly's single place in the
world to send then. to, and where we cosh, thrust
them, they 'knee not what to do. In America we
