The Jubilee was celebrated in this, Borough under
the auspices of Mr. Savile, the. Recorder and
one of the Members, in a manner worthy of the

ushered in by the ringing of bells. The Corporation
met, and voted a proper addresS to his Majesty, and
at walked in precession to church, with
their Member at their head, to hear 'an excellent
sermon preached' by the Rev. Mr. Hole, who con-
trasted our situation_ Under the proteaion'of a Mo-
narch; who was 'the Father of his People, governed
by laws justly administered, with the situation of
other countries, and • inculcated subordinatiot and
obedience to the laws.

The volunteers mustered, under the command of
Major Luxmore, and also marched to hear divine
service; they afterw, • 's filed a feu. de joie on the
hills, in view of Sweetlands, Mr. A. Savile's seat,
and then returned to the town, where they fired se-
veral rounds and a volley, in front of Messrs: Sa-
vile's . Banking House, and where the Corporation
afteEwards sat down, to a sumptuous dinner, when
the Member of course took the chair, and appointed
Major Luxmore his deputy. His Majesty's health.
Was drank with' three times tfiree, and the Corpora
-
tibia with three. Major Luxmore arose and pro-
posed the health of the Honourable Member in the
chair; and success to Inm and the friend he may pro-
pose at the next election. He stated that Mr. A.
Savile's conduct merited every thitig they had in
their power to confer. The company immediately
rose, and drank the toast with enthusiasm. Mr.
Savile thanked the company in.the most graceful and
unassuming runnier; but said, hnd he been ap-
prized of the Major's intention, he 'would have
jeated to it, as they were met to celebrate the anni-
versary of a beloved Monarch, and it was not his
intention to 'introduce any thing with respea 'la the
future Politics of the borough on that day.. He then
descanted; in a strain of eloquence that gratified
every heart, on the virtues and merits of ,the Sove-
reign, and concluded by drinking the health of the
company. This was received with the most rap-
turous btirsts of applause. The company were,de-s
lighted with the, delicacy and energy of .their fa-
vOurite MeMber's speech, whish. was elegant, ap-
propriate and Unique. ,

Mr. Solon LUximPre immediately rose, and pro-
proposed the health of the Lord of the- Manor, their
worthy Member's father. He observed that be
joined most cordially in every mark 'of resped
they had simwn the son, at the_ same time they
must not forget the father, who- was worthy of
such a son, and of every respectful testimony they
Could show him. This toast was drank with three
times thrze, Mr. A. Savile again addressed the
company he said nothing could be more grateful to
his feelings than this mark of attention to a generous
and beloved' parent, who would have thanked them
had his health permitted him to be •present,-in a-
manner much more worthy their approbation., My
father, said he, is the most generous of parebts, and
his abilities are equal to his generosity to me.
The Freemen in general were 'entertained by the
Lord of the Manor, and bread, beef, and beer given
to the poor by his order, to the joy and• satisfadion
of every one. There was a brilliant exhibition of
fire workS, and the' whole concluded with a grand

neighbourhood. The condescension, affability, and
and-attention of the Member and 'his sisters, the Miss
Saviles, who were present on the occasion, were
•highly conspicuous and gratifying to every person
