On the arrival of the lrios at the &aids,
the Waggon raw takes to the where a fhip
was in readinefs to receive the s, into which
they were immediately difcharged. At the Visitant
of the Coals being delivered, a Salute of Artillery
was fired, the Band playing at the fame time, the
well-known Tone of the Si Ka ROM" The
Company this formed a circle, when Succefs to
Percy Ma" was drank, with three times three.
The' Prorogue then returned to the Winning,
where a plentiful dinner was prepared, which the

tinder a canopy for the parpote, at three
o'clock. After dinner, a number of appropriate
Toalls were drank, and the arsenical was (pent
with the greatett conviviality.
All the workmen belonging to the Colliery.
were plentifully 'regaled with bed and plumb-
pudding, bang beer and punch, and amufed
elemferves with mu& and dancing till a late hour.

It is plain to retie°, that this arduous and

YefierdaY iiryii the day *PP. iaMt4'... fur the Lady
Mayorefs to entertain the numerous company
attending our Jubilee. The entevtatnntesKPren
Was a public breakfaft in the Guild Hall. Though
the weather was very unpropitious, this did not
prevent a numerous company from paying their,
reflseas. Every coach, cheife, chair, and 'every
vehicle of conveyance, .was put in reouifition.—
Between eleven and twelve o'clock the company
began to *nimble I numbers of thim came full
dreffed, as for dinner it was inFended as g drefs
meeting, but was not generally hown, and many
Gentlemen who hail drelted for the morning in
boots were obliged to go to their lodgings, which
were at the extremity of the !own, above a mile
from the Halls, to change their diets i bat this re-
gulation was not Maly enfOrted, and afew were
admitted with boots. Ay abopt one. o'clock, the
Town Hall was fo completely filled With company,
that.there was hardly a pi:ability of moving. The
table was very elegantly and futnptuoOly covered.
The Lady Mayorefs was dreffed in the nioll (elision
able ftyle : the was attended by feveral Ladies of
fashion, and felea friends, on her right and let.
The top table confined of tea, coffee, choice fruits.
and confeaionary of all kinds. The long table
was very elegantly decorated, and well fupplied
with poultry and favories of every fort, with a
profusion of jellies, paltry, &c. There was great
abundance of pine apples, and the choicen fruits
and wines. The ornaments of the long table con.
filled of his Majefly on the Throne, in his robes,
with the Lion at his foot, over which hung an ele-
gant canopy, embelliflied with various devices. On
each fide of the pillars were figures prefenting
fruits, &c. &c.

The ornament on the lower part of the table
wai a reprefentation of the grand proceffion which
took place the firil day of the Jubilee, under an
awning of oak leaves, molt fancifully and talk-
fully difplayed, fupported bv four 'pillars of tbs.
Corinthian Order, handfonsely decorated with fan-
ciful devices.

Amnng the perrons of dinioltion we noticed
Lady CHARLOTTI Holum, Lady STANLEY, Lady
Gamut*, Lady Hovonton, Lady SUSAN CAR-
TINTiIip Lady Jaanntonass, Lady rITZGERALD,
Mrs. CAT/TUOHY/Et Lord GAIL/WEIL, Lord STAN..
LIT, Sir THOMAS GAON, Mr. CAWTHOINZ, Mr.
Hentaocas, and Mr. WATSON,
The corn pany were entertained during the break-
fall with an eacellent Band. After the company
was refrethed, the tables were cleared away, and
they promenaded the two Halls for fame time.—
There was afterwards a good deal of dancing.
Lady SUSAN Caarawraa danced with Lord
Gaaottaa.

The company feparated, exprefUng tbeit fatif-
faftion at the truly ele_gant entertainment, and the
polite and accomplifhed manners of the Lady
Mayors&
In the evening the Theatre was crowded to an
overflow for-Mt:moan's Benefit. Part of the Pit
was laid into Boxes. The performances were Tit
Paws, The Child gNarvy, and T& Rival &kite's.
I have much fatisfaftion in Rating that during
the jubilee the nations of the Police defern every
degree of credit. One of the moR notorious of the
London gang of pickpockets is in cuflody. His
apprsbsnf nn was effeaed by the information given
by an oldoffender, wit* was lately admitted King's
evidence on a trial. This man explained to the
principal officers of the Police the whole of their
plaits. their-places of meeting, and a number of
other ulate, which were the means of pre-
meds, dear depredatioas. Two more of thisgang,
finding their componlowintußody, thought it ex-
pedient to decamp, and they left their boric: at
the. Inn whets they iotkod.
The fellow ftcirred-vrastakaa before the Mayor,
and, not being able to,Ove a fatisfaaory account

Oa the Saturday previous to the Jubilee, the
Police Magiarates of Mancheßer (*citing there
would be ibau pickpockets on their way to the
Jubilee in the town, mticularly as it was mar-
ket day, a party of officers, attended by the
roan who gave the information, went into the
Market Place, and the man pointed out one who
had lately returned from tranfportation, in com-
pany with two reputed thieves; upon which they
took them all into cußody, and on their being
taken before the Magifirates, not being able to give
a fatisfadory account of themfelves, they were
committed as rogues and vagabonds. • They ac-
knowledged they were going to attend the Prelim
Jubilee.
This vigilance of the Magiftrates of Mancheßer
is worthy of the imitation of Magißrates through.
out the country at large.

On. Saturday night, about nine o'clock, as a
Tailor was going over Tower-bill, he was accolled
by a flout know with crutches, demandingcharity,
when he told the Ifurdy beggar he had no change
