THE JUBILEE.

PROCEEDINGS IN LONDON.
The celebration of the Jubilee commenced, Yes-
terday, at six o'clock, with the ringing of bells. The
morning teas remarkably fine, and the streets were
crowded at an early hour with people, all dressed to
the best advantage. The city of London emptied
itself into Westminster, and the inhabitants of West-
minster chaiNged places, for the moment, with those of
the city ; the Borough of Southwark also furnished
its full proportion ; all of whom perambulated every
quarter of this great metropolis. Although an illumi-
nation was discouraged, upon the ground, that the
money necessary for that purpose would be more ra-
tionally expended in adding to the comforts of the
poor, it was evident, from the great number of trans-
parencies and devices in preparation, that it would
be very general. These preparations, which com-
menced at an early hour, afforded much amusement
to the people, in their perambulation through the streets.
The several Volunteer Corps also began to muster at
an early hour, and increased the life and bustle, as well
as the diversity of the scene. In the West end of the
town, St. James's Park formed a principal object
of attraction. It was uncommonly crowded, and dis-
played much fashion. The ladies wore silver medal-
lions, with the motto " Cod :awe the King," in ho-
nour of the day ; and the military, called out to fire
afie, de joie upon the occasion, greatly heightened the
effect. They formed a line from the Queen's House
to Spring Garden gate, where their arms were piled.
They filled the middle walk of the Park, where reflec-
ting the sun-beams, they made .a most brilliant dis-
play. In the east end of the town, the procession of
the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, &c. to St. Paul's Church,
was the attractive object of the morning
At eleven o'clock the Loan MAYOR proceeded to
Guildhall, where he was met by the Sheriffs, Alder-
men, and Common Council ; they then proceeded to
St. Paul's Church, in grand procession, with flags
Eying, &c. They were greeted, as they passed, by
the populace, with loud shouts and buzzes, which
were answered by the Loan Mayon waving his hat.
The Church was crowded to excess, and theusands
went away, who could not be accommodated. In
the afternoon, the Aldermen and Common Council
were entertained at the Mansion-house, by the Loan
l'sf -IVOR, according to his invitation at the late meet-
ing„ when a dinner, at the expence of the Corpora-
tion, was the subject of debate. About this time the
crowd in the streets received a great accession from
the people going to or coming from church, and
the different volunteer corps, added greatly to the
beauty of the scene ; th, bells, at intervals, resumed
their merry peals ; and the fineness of the day coming
in aid of all the power of artificial means, pre-
s.nted one of the most grateful spectacles that the
capital of any country every exhibited to the eye of
an observer. It would greatly exceed our limits,
were we to attempt to enter into a detail of the- va-
rious charitable donations, distributed in the course
of the morning. They were not confined to the pa-
rishes which had determined, at their public meetings,
to devote the money, necessary for illumination, to
the use of the indigent. Every parish distributed
meat, driok, and money, but in different proportions ;
nod, on the other hand, in those parishes which had
declared, exclusively, for charitable purposes, the illu-
mination was as general as in any ether. The num-
ber of individuals, who, endowed with extraordinary
means, contributed to add to the extraordinary en-
joyments of the day, was also considerable.—Cha-
rity and Loyalty went hand in hand ; and it may
be truly said, that there was not an individual,
yesterdey, in this great metropolis, who wanted
the comforts of life. Amongst the most appro-
priate donations given by individuals, that of Mr.
Jones, Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, does not
stand last ; a fine bullock, weighing upwards of sixty
stone, a butt of strong beer, and bread in proportion,
the gift of that gentleman, were equally divided
amongst such of the prisoners under his care as chose
to partake of them. Bat the most interesting part of this
extraordinary business, commenced with the approach
of night. The illuminations were very general. and
the brilliancy of some devices, and the ingenuity
of others, were greatly attractive. We give a list,
but it is confined to the principal streets, and can only
be regarded as a specimen of the whole. The most
retired and private streets furnished something, many
of them a great deal, on the occasion. It is with
difficulty we have written so far, restraining our ex-
pression of the pleasure which we felt in the conduct
of the public on this occasion. The illumination be-
ing only, general, had there been any disposition to
tumult, it had a full and inviting opportunity to thew
in endeav -,urs to make, under the mask of
affection to the Sovereign, that partial illumination,
tiiii‘ersal. but no attempt of the kind was made.—
There was nothing to disturb the public peace. Where
a dark house presented itself in a prominent situation,
a few boys cried out " Lights I" hot the call pause.
away unheeded, and no effort was made to enforce
the summons. It would be impossible to conceive
an instance of greater propriety and decorum than this
metropolis exhibited through the whole of yesterday.
We have not heard of a single case of quarrel even
between two—a thing almost incredible, when we
consider the crossing and jostling that must have oc-
curred in so great a crowd. All was good nature,
good humour, and loyalty, up to one o'clock this
morning ; when the great and extraordinary day of
Jubilee had passed away, and WI this great metro-
pdlis in its usual course.
