Jubilee Celebrations.

In view of the proposed celebration of Her Majesty’s Jubilee it may not be out of place to publish an account of the manner in which the jubilee of George LI. was celebrated. Harper's Bazaar, the celebration touk place on the 25th October, 1809: —

“*This Jubilee is notable as being the first occasion on which the English people cele- brated the fiftieth year of their sovereign’s veign. Earlier Jubilees had bee held in. the reigns of Henry III. and Edward UL, but they were commemorations of birthdays, and not of the Jubilee period of rulership.

of general national rejoicing. feastings and illuminations from end to end of the Sidieidonn, the doors of the debtors’ prisons were thrown open, and largess was treely distributed among the poor. In ‘‘the good old days” a debtor might languish in prison for years, or even for life, if he could not pay, and if his creditors were obdurate. In Oct., 1809, there were seventy-two people in the Marshalsea Prison, cwing an aggregate sum of £2092. It was arranged, asa fitting celebration of the Jubilee, to effect the re- lease of these unfortunates by offering their creditors a percentage of the moneys due to them, and similar movements were made in nearly all the important cities and towns throughout the land. Neither were the prisouers of war forgotten. At Potrsmouth the Jubilee was celebrated by distributing money tothe French and Danish captives who were confined on board the prison ships in that harbor, and many prisoners of war were allowed to return to their native land. ‘*The royal residence at Windsor was natur- ally the centre of attraction. Thousands of people, from fifty miles round, poured inte the

one or two guineas each. It is characteristic of the popular manners of the time that the chief amusements were a bull-roasting and bull-biting. The bull for roasting was given by a patrictic citizen, who also gave the poor of Windsor one hundred quartern loaves and eight hogsheads of strong beer. Windsor was en fete on the 24th of October. A triumphal arch was erected in the Market place, and the Bachelors of Windsor paraded the town,with culors flying and drums beating, to exhibit the carcasses Of the ox and two sheep given by the

whole next day.

** At two in the morning of the eventful day the ox-roasting commenced, and this is how it was done. First of alle were two immense ranges for the fires, supported by brickwork. These ran parallel to each other, with a space between for the ox. At each extremity a triangle of large poles supported a beam, from which tie carcass was suspended by a chain between the tires. The ox was on a sprit,and

The animal's head was au naturel, horns and hide complete, and as the body was skinned and trussed like a rabbit, it must have pre- sented a somewhat ludicrous appearance. Underneath it was a huge tin dish, and above it was another, perforated with holes,in which was placed the melted fat wherewith to baste it. And the donor, to make his gift complete,

the sheep were roasted,

““When the ox was considered cooked ‘to a turn,’ which was about an hour after noon, the King and Queen, with the princesses and royal dukes made their appearance. A pavil- ion had been erected for their accommodation, whence they could have a good view of the roasting; but as royal curiosity was net suffi- ciently gratified by seeing the operation ata distance, a slope, boarded, railed in, and guarded by Bachelors who had been sworn in as constables, was provided, and the royal party minutely inspected the barbaric cook- ery. “Nor were they content with this—they must taste it; so butchers, dressed in blue, with silk stockings on their legs, carved for them choice portions of the ox, which had now been removed from the fire and placed on a large wooden tray. Slices of beef and por- tions of plum pudding were served on silver plates, and carried in procession up to the pavilion; where the Queen and her party par- took of this repast amidst the hearty cheers of the assembled multitude.

‘‘In the evening of the great day a fete took place at Frogmore, where a banquet was spread for the illustrious and noble company.”

Boston Markets.

Bostoyx, May 21.

Potators.—With a better demand and smaller receipts, prices have gained strength the past few days, and an advance of about 10c has been established. Houlton Hebrons command $1, and Rose move readily at 95c. Provincial stock 80 to 85c

Eeus.—The market has ruled firm during the past few days, with sales of Eastern at 124 and Western and Provincial at 124 to L3e. Very few offering under 13c.

Fisu—tThere is no improvement in the de mand for Mackerel, but holders are firni and Nova Scotia No | are not offering under $14 per bbl. while some are held higher. No 2 are cleaning up at $13 and $14. Several lots of new Mackerel have been landed at New York and Philadelphia by the Southern fleet and the outlook for the catch is more en- couraging, though the fish still run small and poor. Sales at $7 and $8 per bbl. fishermen’s order. A few large No 3 sold at $9 and $9.50. With increased receipts prices will probably be lower, Receipts of Mackerel at Boston for the week were 276 bbls., nearly all of which were new.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderfu qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drag- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as $0,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known.
