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 ringing 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 licamnfrom 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
loots the door to his horse, and mounted, whitest
the least aseistance. The Quhm, soon after the

hid a splendid appearance, and was about 90 feet
high. Foir full-leugth figures adorned the base ;

were surmounted on each side with }rowans of their
Majesties, and these, in their turn, surmount, d by

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

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-•

beamed with the utmost splendour. Time *HA re-

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-

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
tile Loan MA•eritt, Aldermen, kr. to St. Piles
Church, was the aitiotitive object of the moruitsg.

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 there was mot so individual, yes-
serilay, to this great metropolis, who wanted the
comforts of life. Amorist the moat appropriate
donatioss given bytindividtials, that of Mr. Jostle,
Mardixl of the king:. Bench Prison, dors not

stand last; a 611 e Ltitlock, e-,hung 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 sa„

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, restreining
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,pnsition 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 iiluoninatiun,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 of 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.
