THE JUBILEE.

The houses of all the Foreign Ministers were most
brilliantly illuminated upon the late joyful occasion.
All the French personages of distinction in London
assisted at a grand Mass, celebrated in the Catholic
Chapel in King-street, by the Bishop of AIRS, in ho-
nour of the Jubilee.
The Company of Apothecaries gave each of their
annual servants one guinea, and to the labourers half-
a-guinea each.
Divine Service was performed at the German Jews
Great Synagogue, Duke'i-place • an appropriate and
most impressive Sermon was there delivered by the
Rev. Dr. SOLOMON HIRSCHILL, Chief Rabbi of the
I Congregation ; after which Masters PIKE and Moss,
and a band of choristers, chanted with much fervour
and devotion an Ode composed for the occasion.—
The poor of the congregation were amply provided
' I for by a distribution of money, exclusive of the re-
commendation for individuals subscribing to the ge-
neral relief in their several districts, &c. The diffe-
. rent charity-schools among the Jews had likewise din-
ners provided that day. Nor were the inmates of that
excellent Institution at Mile-end (for the purpose of
inculcating the habits of industry in youth) forgotten
I on that joyful event, but all partook of te festivity
of the day.
The Shoreditch Volunteer corps, commanded by
Major MARSHALL, had a strong muster on Wednes-
day. After attending divine service at Shoreditch
Church, and hearing an appropriate and excellent
Sermon, preached by the Rev. Mr. EVANS, cne of
the Curates, the Major marched the regiment to the
London-field, Hackney, where they fired a feu de joie,
and several vollies, in excellent style, and at the close
of their military movements the regiment gave three
cheers uncovered. The regiment then marched to
the Mermaid Tavern, at Hackney, where they were
regaled with an excellent dinner.
A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Ma-
gistrates of Surrey was held at the Castle, in Rich-
mond, to celebrate the 50th year of his MAJESTY'S
• ______

anniversary.
Amongst the many demonstrations of joy on the
late Jubilee, we have not heard of any more truly
pleasing than what took' place at the Royal Military
Asylum, Chelsea, for the reception of children of sol-
diers of the regular army. The children, about 1200
in number, of both sexes, after Divine service, were
drawn up in a long extended line in front of that
noble building, and gave a general salute, and three
cheers in honour of the day. From thence they
marched, in military order, to their respective halls,
where a good dinner of roast beef and plumb pudding
awaited them, and 2d. placed by the side of each
plate, to be spent as they pleased. Before and after
dinner they sang " God save the King," and the
i effect produced from upwards of a thousand voices,
resounding through the different halls, was grand and
1 affecting. They then returned in the same order,
cakes were distributed, three more huzzas succeeded,
1 and the afternoon was spent in the truest hilarity and
most innocent merriment.
At Amersham, a voluntary subscription; vas set on
foot for providing the inferior and labouring classes,
din.number upwards of 1700) with a comfortable
inner at their own houses on the day of the anni-
versa.
The HelminghamVolunteers, upwards of five hun-
dred strong, commanded by the Right Hon. the Earl
of DYSART, marched to Helmingham Church, where
an appropriate sermon was preached on the occasion;
by the Rev. EDMUND Bzurtaw, Chaplain to the Re-
giment ; after which they formed in line, and fired a
feu-de-joye in honour of the day. His Lordship, with
his usual loyalty and generosity, gave each of the
Privates half-a-crown to drink his Majesty's health.
An excellent dinner was also provided for the officers ;
many loyal and constitutional toasts were drank, and
the day spent with the greatest harmony. His Lord-
ship's loyalty and beneficence stopped not here, for
at the same time that the Officers and Volunteers were
regaling themselves, the poor old men, women, and
children of Helmingham, and the adjoining parishes,
had reason to feel and remember the day as a Jubilee
