CELEBRATION OP THE JUBILEE AT LIVER- POOL.—The day on which our beloved and reverend Monarch entered into the 50th year of his reign, was commemorated liere on Wed nesday last in a manner which will not dimi- nish the reputation for unanimous and distin- guished loyalty, to which the Town of Liver- pool has so long and so justly aspired. All t' party distinction was lost on this occasion. and Whigs, and Tories, Ministerialists and Anti-ministerialists, Churchmen and Dissen- ters, joined in one burst of undistinguished loyalty, and in one grand and unanimous chorus of thanksgiving to their Creator, and affection to their Sovereign. Those political differences which secure the conversation, and characterise the subjects of a free govern- ment, served only on this occasion to excite a generous emulation in the demonstration of one common sentiment; and it was not the least gratifying part of the spectacle to see y r, persons unite in the most friendly and sociable communion, who are known to be diametri- cally opposite in their political sentiments. The general festivities were happily aided by one of the finest days ever remembered at this season of the year. The Jubilee was ushered in as usual by the display of colours, the ringing of hells, &c, and about nine o' clock, by the discharge of 50 pieces of artil- lery from the fort. About ten o'clock, a sight was exhibited, most strongly interesting to every feeling heart: forty of the debtors confined1 in thti korou&h gaol, whose libera- tion admitted of being immediately effected, k, y marched out of the prison, and afterwards joined the procession. Of these 11 were native seamen, 21 foreign seamen, 6 females, I porter, and one exciseman Twenty-seven others, whose cases required some consider- ation, remained in the prison, of whom three have since been released. All the prisoners, debtors as well as criminals, were regaled with a dinner and ale, at the rate of 2s. 6d. each, and the liberated prisoners were presented with 5s. each. Divine service afterwards commenced, and the ditierent churches were all well attended. About three o'clock the first stone of a most elegant equestrian statue, intended to be raised by public subscription, was laid in the centre of Great George's-square, with the following inscription n This Stone, the foundation of a Statue erected by public subscription, in commemo- ration of the fiftieth anniversary of the acces- sion of our most gracious Majesty King Geo. the Third, to the Throne of these Realms, was laid on the 25th day of October, 1809, by John Clarke, Esq. Mayor of Liverpool. II
