THE JUBILEE.

Te most active preparations are making to illn-
Initiate the India House, the Bank, the Mansion
]-loose, Lloyd's Coffee-house, ll.Terchant Tailors Hall,
the other public buildiq,s in the City, except
Guildhall. It t, not intended however to illuminate
any private houses. Such a measure would have the
~ffet to counteract all the benevolent measures about
to be taken on behalf of the poor. The price of
candies would of course be raised, and thus a most
grievous hardship would fall on the lower classes.
There will be no illumination at the University of
ONford on the approaching Jubilee. A subscription
)teas commenced for providing the poorer inhabitants
v..:th a comfortable meal on that day.
The QUEEN and the Princess ELIZA/TEM visited
ptogmere every day, from twelve to two o'clock, to
illet the preparations that are making there for the
• on the 25th. The most of the company, on that
ic.,..'ening,.ere to meet at the Castle, and remain till the
R,,,e retires for the night ; her MAJESTY and Party.,
t,oe proceed to Frogmore. the gardens to be beauti-
illuminated with coloured lamps. A most ele-
ear,: super will be provided for most of the neigh-
13,Itthoed, but there will be no ball. There are a
thowend tickets of admission already issued, for spec-
ta!ret to the fire-,works ; which are to be let off in the j
Qeeen's gardens, at Frogmore, instead of, as was at I
f.a intended, in the Park.
The street of Windsor, from the Town-hall to the
ce;lc.inn, is taking- up, to admit of an arch which is ,
eroctirg for the illumination on the ‘2.sth. The ball
re the Town-hall is not to be till the evening of the I
°lel', that it may not interfere with her MAJESTY'S
party. A great quantity of provisions is collecting
for the pcor of Windsor. The Honourable Miss
TOWSHEND will not attend the Jubilee at Windsor,
on gcount of the indisposition of the Countess of
crwriLo.i, which prevented her Ladyship accom-
reinq the Earl to Cheveley, where he went on SA-
t7,'„iy, on a visit to the Duke of RUTLAND. The
err, that vvi;l he generally worn at the QuErA's sup-
per, at Fregmore, will be of white satin, with a quail-
vei ofjewels.—These dresses are to be made without
;moment, but diamonds. The Ladies who put
mourning, on the occasion, will be dressed en-
el white crape.
'Vinchester the most splendid and extensive
«tions are making for the celebration of the
;ching Jubilee. On Wednesday the High She-
the County, the County and City Members,
peration of Winchester, the Clergy, Gentry,
in procession to the Cathedral, where the full
is to be performed ; in the afternoon a splen-
iner will be given at St. John's House, whilst
ier classes are regaled throughout the City

In the evening a grand display of fire-works
peace, with the usual accompaniments of
etticns, transparencies, bonfires, &c. according
:;i!,!5111 of former days. On Thursday morn-
;CaS country sports will be exhibited, and in
:ring a ball will be given to the ladies. In-
t is thought these amusements will be kept up
week. A Committee has been appointed to
read on the occasion, and from their loyalty,
:y, and ability, there is no doubt but the'high-
ification will be afforded the public.

b:irg too numerous to be accommoda-
the Coert a motion was put and carri-
the a(ijeu; nment of the meeting to the area of
Exchange Beildinqs. An Address to his
.y had been previously voted in the Town-hall,
soon as the rneetieg had been formed in the
the Addre-s which had been prepared was
it ice by Mr. Statham. After the Address was
!, a resolution was proposed by Mr. F. Wil-
for a general illumination. On which Mr.
)E ro:,:e and said that he cordially agreed in the
!s7; which had been just proposed and carried ;
did not think that illumination was the most
le mode of expressing their affection to his Ma-
person, and their respect for his virtues. The

.I.i (01.

expenee would be great, and it might be productive
of riot. There was a better way of expressing the
sentiments of the town; ; he had in his pocket a list of
sixty poor Debtors, at present confined in the Bo-
rough Gaol, who might be liberated and restored
to their families at half the expence of art
Mr. WILLIAms said, he was happy to say, that the
next Resolution he had to propose, after the ques-
tion of illumination was disposed of, was substanti-
ally the same as the Gentleman who spoke last had
submitted.

The motion for a general illumination was then
put and negatived. There was, however, a conside•
rable shew of hands in its favour, and it was stated
that such individuals as might chuse to illuminate on
the occasion were at perfect liberty to do so. Judging
of the numbers who declared in favour of this mode
of doing honour to the day, it is probable that a great
part of the respectable houses in town will be illumi-
nated.

Truro, Plymouth, and Plymouth Dock, are raising
subscriptions for the poor.
Hull is promoting a subscription for the poor, and
has published some excellent resolutions.

The City of York have determined to open a sub-
scription for furnishing assistance and comfort to those
whose situatioas and conditions in life may require it.

At Kilmarnock the inhabitants are to attend Di-
vine Service en the 25th instant, when a Collection
will be made for the benefit of the Sunday Schools.
The Magistrates and principal inhabitants of Aber-
deen intend to celebrate the Jubilee by walking in
procession to the West Church of that City, when a
sermon will be preached and a collection made for
charitable purposes. There will be a grand display
of fireworks in the evening, but no illumination.
The Managers of the Soup Kitchen, at Aberdeen,
purpose to entertain the poor of that place with a Ju-
bilee dinner on the ensuing festival.
Some Quakers have signified their desire to add
.5001. to the donations given by the City of London
for the discharge of persons imprisoned for debt, pro-
vided their release takes place on or about the 25th
instant.

Mr. Sheriff WOOD received the following letter from
Lord LIVERPOOL, his Majesty's Secretary of State,
yesterday, while visiting the prisoners in Newgate :
" Friday, October 20, 1889.
" Lord Liverpool presents his compliments to the Sheriffs of
London and Middlesex. He has laid the petition of the prisoners
confined in Newgate before the King. Lord Liverpool is very
sorry to be under the necessity of stating, that, considering all the
circumstances of the case, and the extent to which the principle, if
admitted, must unavoidably be carried, it would not be consistent
with the public interest, for his Majesty's Government to recom-
mend to his Majesty to accede to the prayer of the said petition.
