THE JUBILEE.

By the Provincial Papers it appears, that the du- 1,
bike will be most spiritedly kept at .the
towns, and that on the evening after there. wi l be
balli at. Newcastle.upOn-Tyne, Durham, Sunder.:
10:,d, York, Doncaster, North and South Shields,'
Newark,
.Northampton, Newcastle-under-Line,. Li-
ver`pool, Birmingham; Sheffield, Lincoln, Yarmouth,
Ipswich, 11,1argate, Brighton; Chichester, Li:Aves;
Winchester, Southampton, and many other places. •'
The India .House, Mansion House, and the Bahl(
will,, it'is said, be most brilliantly illuminated on
the 25th instant, and that artists of the first emi-
trence are employed in preparing beautiful and ap-
propriate transparencies. If they are equal to those •
exhibited at those places on the King's rccovery,•the
public,will have abundant reason to be satisfied.
In every town and city it is resolved to,"attend
divine service; And the whole nation, like one great
family, will asserrible in solemn prayer and thanks-
giving, for the
,proteatiOn so long afforded td the.
father of his people in the most arduous situations,
and the most, trying times.
•
The following is the Form of,Prayerand Thanks-.
giving to be adoptedon the 25tli of this month :!•4.-,
4` 0 God, in whose
,hands ftre the issues,of life
and death, and to whom alone it ,belongs• to distribute
mercies,
.as well in lengthening as in shortening the;
dayS of men, we yield thee praise and thanksgiving'
for, the prote6tion .thou bast vouchsafed to our graq
cious Sovereign, during so long and arduous a reign.
Continue, we pray thee,. thy watchfUlness over him
shield him from the open attacks, of his enemies,
and from hidden danger ; from the arrow that fiieth
by day, and from, the- peStilence that walketh in
daikuess. Enlighten his Counsels for the public.i
'good ; strengthen all his measures ;and when it shall
seem fit for thine unerring:, wisdom, perfect the ends?
of both; the restoration. tt:i peace and _security to his
People, of concord and independence -to, bleeding,
nations.---,These blessings and mercies, we implore
for our Sovereign, ourselves, our Allies and 'our
Enemies, throng the merits and mediation of Jesus,
Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen." '

Some Quakers have signified their desire to add
5001, to the donations given by the City of London
for the discharge of persons iniprisonekter debt,: pro-
vided their release takes place on or about the 25th
instant. -

bilee.

", for the purpose' of liberating sucl, ol our fellow-
citizens, natives or inhabitants, as may be at this
time, from the presspre of misfortune, confined for
debt,; conceiving this to be the Most acceptableoffer-
ing in the eye ot God, and most congenial to the be-
neVolent feelings of our Sovereign."
. 'The subscription for the festivities of the Jubilee,
on. the 25th inst. goes,on liberally. At Plymouth
there is to. be a grand dinner, bonfires, and a ball.

ing his Lordship to present a petition to' his MAsgs-
TY for pardon,
,and a general release from their pre-
sent state of captivity, on his happy Accession, .on-
the 25th instant. -We understand his Lordship has

proper channel for such conveyance.

dignity of the former SOvereigns of each.'

'ANECDOTE "O.F.DA. OGILVIE.--The attachinent
which this 'learned Professor of the University of
Aberdeen has to the study of_Astronomy; induced
him 'some years age, to-cross-over to Denmark, fur
the purpose of personally paying his respects to a ce-
lebrated Protissor of his favourite science at Copen-
hagen. Unfortunately he arrived at a time when a
considetAle ferment prevailed in public mind
'there, in consequence ,o(our .having.taken and re-
tained one of the Danikb .ships of war. The PrOfes-
sor largely partook ot•the public anger, and; as it is
natural to identify a foreignex with his, country, as .
soon as Do6tor OGILVIE ti,ntered his room, he went
up to .him, and, forgetful of the compliment of such
a visit, and thinking only of the, out rage offeiect.to
t he Navy of Denmark, ehclainied,:,.“ Sir, kain glad
to see; ".Iron, but how .dare you 44ake one of our
ships ?"`..,Upon which the Doctor r, plie , Str, du
not be otfenued with me; upon my honour I neNer
'_took a ship in nay-life."--.This_aus.w.er. produced the
desired etiect, and the Professor apoltlig4ed tor the
rudeness which his patriotic ardour shad occasioned.
