PROLOGUE

TO THE ALCESTIS OF EURIPIDES,
SPOKEN AT READING SCHOOL, BY MR. FELL.

WRITTLX RV H. ]. PTE, En.

To-night, that Bard's pathetic scenes appear,
Which polish'd ATHENS sanction'd with her tear,
Where a chaste matron's faithful love is shewn,
Devoting for her husband's life her own.
Such the fond wives of UsaclA's better days;
And such among her own may Albion praise:
When ELEANOR, by fame eternal crown'd,
Drew the dire poison from her EDWARD'S wound.
If a weak female breast, with courage stor'd,
Yields its own life to save its dearer Lord,
Shall not man's firmer mind with equal zeal
The sufferings of his Injur'd country feel,
And bid his breast a breathing bulwark stands
To shield his monarch, and his native land;
Guard her pure faith, her liberty, her laws,
Or bravely perish in the glorious causer—
Tho' hard the contest, tho' the arm of fate
May seem to hang malignant o'er the slate,
Like the Thessalian matron, if we brave
Death in their cause, whom duty bids us save,
Combining ev'ry charity of Life,
Friend, Kinsman, Brother, Father, Mother, Wife;
In virtue's holy footsteps while we tread,
Honor'd when living and rever'd when dead;
Thro' life or death perform her high behest,
.Act as she bids, and leave to Heaven the rest
And In ! a people's voice in grateful strain
Now hail their parent Sov'aztoN's lengthen'd reign;
Breathing the fervent vow, that BRITAIN'S throne
May long the Royal Patriot's influence own,
That he may see war's bleeding horrors cease,
Aud close his sway in glory and in peace.—
And you, our fost'ring Patrons*, who appear
From Isis' brink, our rising hopes to cheer,
As now your cares to British eyes unfold
All that the Grecian g.nius brea:h'd of old,
'With fav'ring smiles our bold attempt behold.
And if uncouth our air, or rude our voice,
Condemn our action, but approve our choice:
And should we fail, yet he it some renown,
We strove to niake the Grecian Muse our own !
a The Vice-Chancellor and the other visitors.

-

indeed, his Lordship having given £lOO to be distil-
bated amongst them for that purpose.
'At Harwich the morning was ushered in by ring-
:Mg of bells : on the town-hall, custom-house, and
many other public buildings, flags were hoisted, and
from every ship in the harbour. The Corporation
were attended to church by the volunteer corps, and
after service joined the troops of the line, in quarters.
They then paraded on the esplanade, where they fired
a feu-de-joie. Languard-fort, at the same time, and
all the ships in the harbour, fired a general salute.—
IA subscription had been previously entered into by
the inhabitants for the relief of such poor families as
stood in need, and the whole subscription, amounting
to £lO7, was distributed amongst them. The Cor-
poration and Gentlemen of the town, with the Navy
and Army, celebrated the day in a sumptuous din-
ner, prepared for the occasion.
Sir RiettAnn WELCH, at Eltham, in commemora-
tion of the day, regaled the poor of Eltham with Old
English hospitality, roast beef, &c. to a numerous
party, sparing no expence to make them comfortable,
and at the same time entertaining a select company
of his friends, residing in the neighbourhood of El-
tham, with the greatest liberality.
Among other festivities, the liberal and generally
diffused merriment and charity of the Earl of Cni-
CHESTER among the poor of his estate at Stanmer, in
Sussex, deserve to be noticed. Above 100 of his la-
bourers with their wives and children, sat down in
separate families to Old English roast beef and plumb
padding, with plenty of strong beer.
To the head of each family a new guinea was
given, and to the wives and children each a new dol-
lar,-and a Jubilee medal., Fire-vaorks were let off in
the Park, and other demonstrations of joy noted the
memorable day. The happy peasantry closed their
day's regalement by loudly and heartily uniting in the
truly national Anthem of " Gosl save the King."
Similar acts of munificence were given by his
Lordship to the several parishes of Falmer, Plump-
ton, and Hoadley, in that county.
At Canterbury the Jubilee was celebrated with the
utmost magnificence. At noon the garrison of the
city, with the Yeomanry and Volunteers were as-
sembled in the barrack-yard of the. Royal Cavalry
Barrack, and were formed in a hollow square in the
following order from right to left : A troop of Royal
Horse Artillery, the 2d (or Queen's) Dragoon
Guards, 3d (K. 0.) Dragoons, the Barham Downs
'troop of Yeomanry (Captain PARKER), the Bridge
,Hill troop of Yeomanry (Captain TAYLOR), 9th In-
fantry of the Line, 42d ditto, Canterbury Rifle
Corps and Volunteer Infantry, with a brigade of
Foot Artillery in the centre ; the whole under the
command of Lieutenant-General NICHOLL. At one,
while the roar of the guns from the shipping at
the Nore and in the Downs yet 'vibrated on the
ear, a salute of fifty rounds (six-pounders) corn
menced, and was followed at intervals by an excellent
feu-de-joie from the line, beginning with the cavalry
on the right, and terminating with the volunteers on
the left. The whole closed with three huzzas from
the troops and spectators, and accompanied by the
respective bands playing " God save the King." The
troops then broke into open column and passed the Ge-
neral in review order, after which the line was again
formed, and the compliment of saluting the General
followed, when the troops retired to their respective
parades. At three in the afternoon, a large portion of
the inhabitants met the Mayor at the Guildhall Tasl
vern, to partake of a dinner, at which were also pre-1
sent, the Representatives of the City, with many of
the neighbouring Gentry. The afternoon was passed
with loyalty and harmony, and a grand ball concluded '
the festivities of the day.
At Ramsgate, the inhabitants of the town attended
divine service. Dinners were provided for the peer;
and in the evening there was a grand subscript s-
hall and supper, at Page's Hotel, which was graced
by all the beauty and fashion of Ramsgate and the
neighbourhood. An excellent display of fire-works
was also made in the evening on the Pier, at the ex-
pence of the worthy and loyal Alderman Sir WILLIAM
CURTIS.
At Brighton, on Wednesday, at one o'clock, a
royal salute was fired from the fort, which was re-
peated by a gun brig, the only ship of /Jar lying to,
within sight of the town. At half past one o'clock
the doors of the Royal Riding House, in Church-
street, were thrown open fof the admission of the be-
nevolent Mr. MIGHELL'S party, in number about two
thousand three hundred, exclusive of the hundred
Stewards, who were very active on the occasion.—
Never was any entertainment regulated with more or-
der than was this ; every body was happy, and not a
single unpleasant accident occurred to impede the
harmony of the proceedings. About fifteen hundred
poor persons were also dined at the same time in the
farm-yard of Mr. SERASE, about three hundred yards
from the former place, at the.expenee of a patty of
Gentlemen, who opened a subscription fur such a be-
nevolent purpose, and where similar order and har-
mony prevailed. The breaking up of both pai ties
was attended with the same decorum and regularity
as had happily marked their meeting. The grateful
poor had retired, generally uttering expressions of '
loyalty, and invoking blessings on Mr. MwIIELL and
their liberal friends, to their several residences, by five
o'clock. There was no illumination in the evening,
excepting at the house of Prince CASTELCICALI, the I
Neapolitan Ambassador, which exhibited a star, Ric.
in variegated lamps.
The Jubilee festival was ushered in at Bath by the
ringing of bells, and display of flags on the different
churches. At eleven o'clock the Mayor and Cor-
poration, accompanied by the Bath Volunteer Regi-
ment of Infantry, the young Gentlemen of the Gram-
mar School, the children of the Charity Schools, and
the Friendly Societies (33 in number, containing
2137 members, each Society distinguished by its par-
ticular banner and colours), went in grand procession
to the Abbey Church, where a sermon was preached
by the Rev. Mr, MARSHALL. Part of the Societies
went to Walcot church, where a discourse was deli-
vered by the Rev. Mr. BARRY. Collections were ,
made at the doors of both churches for the benevolent
purpose of releasing tlse debtors in the county gaol.
On returning to the Hall, cakes and wine were given
to the juvenile part of the procession. The Volun-
teers marched to the Crescent Field, where they fired
a fru de joie; and the Members of the Friendly Socie-
ies departed to their repective club-rooms, in which
hey dined in much harmony ; each man 'received,
owards his exrences, Is. 6al. fiom the public sub-

seription for that purpose. The Bbteenat Children
(120) sat• down in their school-room to a plentiful
dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding, provided ae
the expence of a highly-respected and loyal Gentl:.-
man, a resident of this ci►y. The Mayor and Cor-
poration and the Clergy, with a select party, di; 0.1
together. In the evening tliere was a ball a: the
Town-Hall.

The subscription proposed for the liberation of r-
soners in the goal of Cardiff in Wales, on occasion of
the Jubilee, was filled almost as soon as opened. Oa
Saturday morning the High Sheriff of the county vi-
sitesl the prison, and gave to the debtors the consoling
assurance that they should all be liberated on Wee.
nesday evening, and that they should le previously
enabled to spend the day convivially, tore her with a •
plentiful dinner of roasted beef and p7tms•pudding.
At Charlton Kings, tbs.! Jubilee WAS ccieb;-ated by
a distribution of bread, meat, coals, and ale, in .irn_
plc quantities, sufficient to enable 538 of the poorer
inhabitants fully to enjoy the festival, all of whom
attended divine service. The bells rang a mu-• y
peal, and every one appeared to unite in fervent
wishes for an increase of years of happiness to our
beloved Mon:tr.:h.

A public subscriptioe was entered into by the
habitants of the hamlet of Ratcliff, to enable the
poorer r milies of that place to paiticipate in the .
general joy occasioned by the_happy extension of the
reign of our good and gracious Sovereign to the 50th
tnniversary of his accession to the Throne —2796 lbs.
of beef ; 662 quarxsrtt loaves ; 1 tfFeepots of porter.
with 2i tons of potatoes, were distributed to 560-fa-
milies, consisting of upwards of 2500 individuals.--
The Children of the Charity School were also tegaled
with plum-puddings and roast beef, and a donation of .
6d. each.
Among the various celebrations of the late Jubilee.
in honour of his MAJESTY, we cannot omit to do juse
tice to the liberality of Messrs. PAUL WATHEN and
Co. at \Voodchester, in Glostershire, who gave -a
dinner to about 600 persons employed in their Ma-
nufactory, all appearing neatly dressed and orna-
mented with blue ribbands. An ox, sheep, &c: were
slaughtered on the occasion. In the evening an illu-
mination of all their extensive Mills, Workshops,
Factories, &c with bonfires and fireworks, (making
a very splendid and beautiful appearance) attracted
a large concourse of spectators ; a person present
counted 3500 candles. His MAJESTY once honoured
this Factory with a visit, and it is not a little remarka-
ble that one of the workmen present on this occasion,
had been chosen to represent the King in the festivi-
ties given in honour of his Coronation on the same
spot nearly 50 years ago.
At Brixham, the morning was ushered in with the
ringing of bells, and every other demonstration of joy
suitable to the day. The 3d Regiment of Buffs fired
a salute at the barracks, and the Volunteers, with
their band, paraded the town, playing 41 God save the
King," " Rule Britannia," &c. A great quantity
of beef, bread, and beer were distributed amongst the
poor of the place, and the whole of the day was con-
ducted with the greatest convivality and good humour.
Notwithstanding the immense concourse of people
that were assembled at Plymouth on Wednesday, to
witness and participate in the festivities and rejoicings
of the day, we have not heated of any accident what-
ever. In the evening, about seven o'clock, the guns
of the Citadel were fired, and also those on the Lines
at Dock ; after Which a feu
.11e foye was fired round the .
Lines, by.the militia regiments stationed at Dock ;
there were also a number of bonfires in thee.neigh-
bourhood, and a very large display of fire-works, for
the discharge of which the weather .was very propi-
tious.
The crews Of the respective ships in the port of
Plymouth were, on Wednesday,. served with a dou-
ble allowance of provisions and grog.
About 300 persons were sumptuously entertained
on Wednesday by Lord Mourr-EDoctmois, at his
princely mansion, on the occasion of the Jubilee :
the noble Earl also gave away donations of bread, •
beef, and money, to upwards of 200 poor persons of
tioßh sexes.
At Portsmouth, on Wednesday morning, the Royal
Standard was hoisted on the Garrison liagestaff, and
on hoard the different men of war at Spithead and in.
the harbour, most of which were completely covered
with the different flags, and which had a very biauti-
appearance. The troops went to church at tea
o'clock, and as soon as divine service was over, they
assembled on the beach on South Sea Common, with
their front towards the ships at Spithead. The troops
at Gosport were paraded on the beach between the
Royal Naval Hospital and Brock-house Fort. At
one o'clock, precisely, the ROYAL. WILLIAM fired a
gun as a signal, when the whole of the men of war
commenced firing, and continued until they had dis-
charged every gun On board. The troops at Gosport
commenced firing at the same time, and it was c:./n-
-tinned through their line, and then taken up L) the
troops on South Sea Beach—this running fire was
kept up for fifteen round. The men of war were
firing the whole time, as were the guns round the
fortifications of Portsmouth and Portsea ; on the dif-
ferent batteries on ehe Common; on South Sea Cas-
tle and Fort Cumberland; as likewise round the lines
at Gosport, Fort Monktnn, and Block-house. The
sight was grand in the extreme. After the firing
had ceased, the troops marched by Kejor-General
Wriernest, on the Portsmouth side, and by Major-
General Format, at Gosport. Every arrangement
seemed to have been made 1 y the Lieutenant-Go-
vernor worthy of the day he wished to celebrate,
The troops at Gosport were the Leicester, Oxford,
and the 3d Royal Lancashire Militia. At Ports-
mouth they consisted of the Artillery of the King's
German Legion ;. the Bth Royal Veteran Battalion i;
the Renfrew, Northampton, Worcester, Durham, and
Inverness Regiments of Militia •, , the Portaea,.the
Portsmouth, and Major R.pon's Batt .lion of Volun-
teers : the latter.are principally Ritletnen. The em-
bodied detachment, under COIOIICI COCH.EAN, fired On
their parade at Fort Cumberland, as did the Ross-
shire Militia at Hilsea. Many parties of the inhabi-
tants. dined together at the different houses, and in
the evening the ball
,and supper, giver. by the army
and navy, took place at Hi:ASIAN s,; and, although
there were near eight hundred people present, yet
every body seemed pleased and astonished at the
grandeur and excellent order the entertainment was
conducted with.—Tie- greatest praise is due to Cap-
tain FIXON for his great discernment in this Most ar-
duous undertaking.

DISTURBANCES.
of people attended the
Court-house. this •fay, prompted by curiosity to know
whether any, and what bills would be found by the
Grand Jury, against the persons accused of exciting
and comm:tring disturbances in the Theatre. At the
rising of the Court, however, about four o'clock, no
Bill was then returned, bin one of the Grand Jurors
stated to the Conn, that the Bills laid before them
included many persons together, the proofs against
some of whom were not strong enough to justify ar-
raigning them in a Court of Justice. He wished to
be informed, d'hether it was competent to the Grand
Jury to make such selections as they adjudged to be
right.? or whether the circumstance of dismissing the
charge against souse, would necessarily include the
others, against whom the proofs were, sufficiently
substantial ? •
Mr. ALLEY said, that, in drawing up the indict-
ments, he had guarded ag.ainst such a consequence,
as he had charged each individual with conspiring,
with fifty ethers, (or more) unknown ; the Grand
Jury was therefore perfectly at liberty to find a bill
against A. and throw out the bill against B. accord-
ing to the proofs is each case. The Court acquiesced
in this opinion.,
In the course of the day, the following bills were
found against the following persotts, charged with
riot in Covent-Garden Theatre—
Alexander Ross, William Dwyer, William Hillhouse, WlNam
Ilianbury bones, Michael Brains, John Johnson, John Brown.
OPERA-HOUSE FRACAS.
• BROOKS v. OPHEMENE.—Mr. GeRNEY, as Counsel
for the defendant, stated, that the defendant had
committed an assault upon the prosecutor, when in a
state of intoxication, for which he had afterwards
apologised, to the satisfaction of that gentleman, •
upon condition that it should be made as public as
the offence. He (Mr G.) therefore, as his Counsel,
came forward in Court, to comply with that condi-
tion, and to express the deep regret which his Client
tit for the injury he had done. He trusted that, as
Ole prosecutor was satisfied with this acknowledr
ment; the-Court would not heiitate to dismiss the de-1
Pendant.

The COURT, after reprimanding the prisoner, and
insisting strongly on the impropriety of such breaches
of the peace, particularly by a foreigner, who was
* taken under the protection of the Law, ordered him
;0 pay ls. and be discharged.
MOCKING ASSAULT.
Edward Bogherty was indicted for a most cruel and
outrageous assault on a female infant, only five-years
of age. The circumstances of this assault are of such
honible and infamous nature, as we would not be
justified in-stating. It is sufficient to observe, that
the evidence fully supported the indictment. His
only derence was, that he was at theriine in a state
of intoxication, and was not at that moment sensible
of any thing that occurred, which gare rise to the
accusation. The Jury, without a moment's cop&
deration, found the prisoner Guilty. He was sen-
tenced to be imprisoned twelve months, and to be
pilloried at Charing-cross, in the first fortnight of his
imprisonment. It appeared .from the statement of
one of the IVlagistrates, after the prisoner had been
fund guilty, that he had been a soldier in the 56th
rcq;tnent, and had been drummed out for a similar
offence. The prisoner is a large man, upwards of
50 years of age.
. The prosecutor was only the foster-father of the
infant. It being a motherless child, he had brought
her up from infancy • her father, a labouring Man,

", He kgew he had offended the lau's of his country,
and considered that it would be only adding to the
insult they had already. received, to say he was driven.
to desperation by distress. He was 54 years of age ;.
and, he trusted, that, if the most minute investiga-
tion was made as to his character, it would be found
without a stain, until he had committed the act which
he stood so justly indicted for. He was sentented to
be imprisoned three days, and then discharged.
