Monday se'nnight Lord Nelson's monument on the
Calton-hill, Edinburgh, was elegantly illuminated
with imps, in honour of the anniversary of the battle
of Trafalgar.
Thursday last, being the day on which his most gra.
cious Majesty (now in the 72d year of his age), com-
pleted his reign of half a century over a free and en-
lightened people, the day was obseeved by the citizens •
of York in a most loyal and patriotic manner. The
mottling, which rose enlivened by the brieliest rays of
the cheering sun, was saluted by peals of bells rung in
-the different churches, and which continued till the
evening.
Ok large congregation attended divine service at the
Cathedral, where a most excellent sermon, from Pro-
verbs'. chap. xxii. 21 and 22—" My son, fear thou
the Loan and the Kittle ; and meddle not with them
that are given to change, for their amity shall rise

choir, accompanied by the organ, and which had a
most sublime and beautiful effect.
At the York Tavern upwards of 89 Gentlemen sat
• down to dinner at two tables, in the great room, ;it
which Colonel Lloyd and Dr. Belcombe presided ;
the Rev. Tohn Overton and the Rev. G. Brown, as
their 'Deputies. The dinner was most excellent;
'game and fruit were in abundance. The wines were
good, and freely circulated with appropriate toasts, tc.
The Officers commanding the 4th Dragoons at the
barracks, kindly permitted the band to attend, who
played many appropriate pieces of music during the
evening. During the whole of the evening uniater-
rupted good humour prevailed, and the company, in
consequence, did not break up till a late hour.
A number of private parties, in commemoration of
the event, had dinners at their own houses and other
places.
The celebration of the completion of the 50th year
of the reign of our venerable Sovereign was celebrat-
ed at Leeds with every demonstration of affectionate
attachment. Though there was no concerted plan, no
previous arrangement for the formal celebration of the
day, the townsmen, moved by the same common feel-
ing; suspended their usual avocations. The shops,
with a few exceptions, were closely shut up, and nu-

That he gave her a kiss, and along with a fawn,

Yes, deep in my heart, I must frankly confess,
-Did the canker of jealousy secretly prey;
I beard too, raurning.from fair li.rerness,
That NAILSA had visited her on his way.

Regardless of perils that there might accrue.

That he ne'er would again be the cause of toy grief.

No other man e'er should seduce her to love.
