When %is the Will Divine, ,
He should his Crown resign,
Dlay h.: glory'shine
God save the King !

At Hull,-on Thursday last, a numerous meeting
of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood
was held at the Guildhall, pgrsuant to public adver-
tisement, in order to take: into consideration the
propriety of .forming appropriate arrangements to
celebrate the approaching Anniversary of his Majes-
ty's Accession.- A greater degree of cordiality never
prevailed at any, public- meeting whatever. A very
liberal subscription for the, poor was immediately
entered into by the gentlemen present, and a number
of them also signed their names to an agreeMent
.to attend the, public dinner, to be-given at the As -
sembly Rooms on 'the day of the Jubilee ; and
also for giving( a ball and cold collation to the ladies,
at the same place,on the evening of the following
day. Instead of an illumination, which is deprecated
by almost every person, the Corporation, we under-
stand, intend to give fire-works in the evening ; and
we h ive no doubt that the Jubilee will be cele-
brated here in a manner equally honourable to the
Soveteign, and to the inhabitants of this commercial
town.
At Beverleyethe same day, a meeting of the prin-
cipal inhabitants was held at the Town Hall, Bever-
ley, conformably •to a notice issued by the Mayor,
to devise the most eligible metleid of celebrating the
50th Anniversary of his Mjesty's Accession to the
Throne. After opening the ohjea of' the Meeting,
the Mayor observed, that as he had not come pre-
pared to move any specific resolution, he would just
convey his general- ideas upon the subjea, in defer-
ence to the more mature consideration of the gentle-
men present; -' It appeared to him proper, first, that
the day be ushered in with suitableftelemnity and
demonstrations of .joy.; second, that after Divine
Strvice, a dinner be provided at the Tiger Inn, for
those gentlemen who might wish to dine; ands that
a-. subscription be proposed for the benefit of the
poorer inhabitants, that such a day might be a day
of rejoicing to them also. Resolutions to that effect
were unanimously; carried.
We understand that the ox orieinally intended
to have been roasted whole upon Stoke Common,
Tien Windsor, as stated in a former Paper, will be
divided into, portions, and distributed on the day
preceding the Jubilee among elle poor families of
that parish ; and we recommend this method to be
gene: ally adopted as the most effeaual means of
ensuring to ell the classes of the community, a per-
sieipatien in the festivities of that auspicious day.
At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Saffron-Wal-
den, last Monday, with a view to celebrate the ace.
proaching Jubilee, it was agreed that instead of 11-
lninination there should be given to every one of the
uecessitous poor in the Parish, from twelve years
'old and upwards, one pound of meat, lour penny-
worth of bread, and three pence in money. to bay.

which it is supposed will, produce more than suffi-
cient to defray the expences: if so, tlic -surplus to
purchage coals-for the poor the ensuing winter.
