The Jubilee Q/'lt'rcc(1oni was worthily cele-
brated on Tttcsday. It would exceed built
our time and limits to attempt even to sketch
all the iiictr.lt.>iits oftlie day. Such as passed
under otrr observation we will describe.
In the morning, at 8 o’clock, the nth regi
rrietrt artillery received a standard frotri Geri
_\]orion, with an appropriate address. A- 9
o’clock. the National Gtiards, cotrrtirairderl by
Col. Wetrnore, were drawn tip in the interior
trfCastle Garden, ttlrere Gov. Clinton in ftill
trtiifortti, strsroritrtlcd by his staff, and accor-

iitllcr disttrrgttislretl individuals, after a strita
ble zrtttlress. pl‘(‘.sF:ltl€LI to that regiment a hair

signs.
This ccreirroiiy being peifrirrned, the regt
ment was irrarclred to tt.s station in the division
litre oit the battery, while the .Govcr'itor and
his suite with the general stall‘ pariook of re-
r'rr-slriirerrts provided by Col. Weiiirorc, in the
Gard:-it Tito Cadets frottr Capt. Pal"ii‘l(l_,l__’,e,$

this cereruoriy, but owing to the fog iii the
Sonrrd tire prcccdiiig night, the steam boat in
tvhicli they were, was detained, atrd only at
rived at a late hour. They, however, took tip
their station in the line, and added not a little
to its rtiilitary appearance. The Governor,
ftilloivtrtl by Major Generals Mortotis, M apes,
Firrirriiig anti Benedict, with their respective
.-trails, and the Brigadters of Artillery with
theirs, received the standitig salute about 11
t.»’cloclt, wlrcn the whole wheeled into colunrti,
and marched past the residence of General
t“It)l'tt)n in State street, where [he nmrcliiiig
salute it as paid to the Governor. Among the
rrrost conspicuotrs, we believe we must in fruth
say, the most cotrspicuous corps for acctrracy
of nrovemctit on this irtarclr, were the IVr1sh-
tiiglon Greys frottr Philadelplria and the Par-
tridge Cadets. The first irartted coitipany,
crirtrinarided by Captain Cliilds, composed etr--
tirely ofytiung nten, handsomely equipped itr
grey cloth, with plaitr triirrtniiigs, a black cap
and panipon, armed with U. S. rnuskeis in
the best possible order, and drilled as light in-
lantry, attracted the attention and adrniratiorr
ofall irtilitary eyes, by their steadiness, and
precision, and soldierly deportiiieirt. The
battallioirofCapt. Partridge’s Cadets, with
their knapsacks oit their backs, looketl like the
real thing, and showed good drillinct. The
position of their muskets, their unwavering
frotrt, their closed ranks and well dressed
flanks in inarclriirg, might be advantageotisly
imitated. The «hole division formed in the
Park; alter salutingilre municipal autliori
ties, their fired a ten tlejoie_.&t. were distrtissed.
The ftfasl Oflllt’. roasted Oxen at the VVash-
iugton Parade Gtourrd, was conducted in an
interesting and brilliant style, aflcrding a rio-
vcl exhibition, anti refreslrments for a vast
tiriilittirtle of citizens, who appeared to enjoy
ilte celebration with entlrttsiasm. The tables
under the arbour, 500 feet in length, were
well arranged by the comitiittee and volun-
teers in the vicinity. They were tastefully
decorated with flowers and e.vergrcetis, fur-
trislred by the patriotic members oftlre Horti-
.Culllll'8l Society, Messrs. IrVilson, Floy anti
Hogg. Tire '1 P60 0l'Liberty was placed over
the grand arched entrance and inscribed at

excited great admiration.

The dinner passed off with usual hilarity.
A heavy shower, just before sun-down,
spoiled some of the airiuseuretits of the even-

tratrspareiicies disordered—tlie illuitrittation
prevented. Some few rockets were thrown
frottr the City Hall; but the great display
could not be tirade. We heard, however, or"

the attention and politeness which had been
shown him and his corps‘ of Cadets during
their present visit, and of which suitable no-

The'Mayor’s Address on taking leave of
the Cadets:
“ Sm——I cannot permit the fine corps un-

expressing the admiration I have experienced
in wrtricssing their military pet'formances,and,
in the nairie oftlie Corporation, tendering you

they be ready, atoll times when required, to
defend our beloved country ; and irray the re-
ttrrri ofthe next ltalf century find many of
them in health and irappiitess.
“ We shall be rejoiced, on future occasions,
to receive the visits ofyour Corps, and prepar-

The Cadets ttow re-fornred the line, broke
into column, and tnarclred, by invitation, frotii
'-he Park to the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, and
from thence to view the fortifications at Gov-

said that a divistori of that fleet, consisting of
two frigates and two brigs, attacked on the

tained considerable dama-,_{e.
A Paris paper states, that with the excep

Freirchtiratr served in the Turco-Egyptian
army before Missolonghi. The only Euro-
ropeans were sortie Italians, who had left the
Greek service on account of harsh treatinent.

Death by starvalion.—A more distressitig
story titan the following is seldom told. It
was related in the Court of Common Council
of Lortdon, by Mr. Hunter, who vouched for
its truth.
“ A very poor weaver of Manchester appli-
ed to his master about the 1st of May, beg-
ging earnestly for work, stating that he was
in great want, and would thaultfully do any
thir:; for the meatrs of supporting his exist-
ence.’ His master assured him he did not
want any more goods, his stock being very
heavy, without arty sale, and tire}, he cupid, not

give more tiibrk to any one. ‘I’-lie man pl'6§§S5
ed very much, and at length his master said,’
“ Well, Jonathan, if it is absolutely necessary
for you to'weave a piece to prevent yotr from
starving, I will let you have it, but cannot
give you more than is. for it, (23. is the reg-
ular price) fo'rI really do not want any more
goods nrade up for :1 long time to crime.”-
“ Let me have it, master, I beg,” said the poor
man, “ whatever you pay tne for it’, pray let
me have it.” Tire piece was‘ given him’
to weav 2, and at the end of two days he bro’!
it bome,and on carrying it to his master beg-
ged of him to give him 13. 6'1. for, it, saying
how iuucii be \vas distressed for tr’iotiey.——His_"
master paid hiiri the Is. Gd. &. the nran went‘;
away. The irraster feeling very unccinforta-_
bleabout the poor man, tliinkitig that tire‘
cessive want, determined oti following him‘
home. He went to the cottage oftlie weaver,
and found the wife alone in the lower room,
making a little grucl over a poor lire. “ Wei}
Mary,” said the mastcr,_ -’- where is your lllts-I,
your house, and being very faint and weary."

will go up and see him Mary ;” and immedi--
ately‘ ire went to the upper room, where he
saw the poor man lying on his bed,just iii the
agonies ofdeatir, with his mouth open, and
his hands clasped ; and after a short cotrvril-
sitrn ire expired. The master was very much
distressed and came down stairs, hoping to be
able to "save the wife who was in a very ema-
ciated condition ; she had just poured the
gruel into a basin, intending to carry it tip to
her husband. Tire master said, “ Come Ma-
ry, take a little yourself first.” “ No sir, said
she, not a drop will I take till Jonathan has
had some. Neither of-us have had any thing‘
within otir lips but water for the iivo days we_
were weaving your piece ; and I thought it
best to itiake little gruel for us before we tool;
any thing stronger, as it is so long since we
have tasted food : but, sir, Jonatliair shall
have it first.” The master insisted on lrerta-
king some herself before she tvetit tip to her‘
husband, birt she positively refused it; at last
finding that he could not prevail oti her to
touch the gruei, he was obliged to tell her that
her hrisbarrd rvzts dead. The potir wnnraii set
down the basin of gruel, sutik on the floor and
itnniediately expired. .
“ Tire recital ofthis statement produced a
visible effect on the court.”
In the House of Cotritrrons oti the Elctlr of
May, Lord John Russell moved his resoltiiion
for the more effectual preveirtion of bribery
and corruption, and said that the practices
were so notorious that if the llouse did not do
something to cireck them, it would be better
at once to legalize the salt: of votes like any
any other commodity. Mr.Humc stated that

and £500 to be spent. Sir R. W'ilson men-

forwarded to him. 'l‘ire numbers on the di-
vision were equal ; there being 6?. ayes and
6:2 troes-—tlie Speaker gave the casting vote

Spain.-—'l‘lie Madrid Correspondent oftlre
Paris Pilote says, under date of M ry llth--
“ There is reason to believe, front the deran-
ged state iir which the finances of Spain arg
known to be, that tliejourncy made to Mad-
rid by Mr. Cock, to dettratid 40 millions due
to English merchants, is but a pretext em-
ployed bv the Cabinet of London for seizing
on the Havana. Mr. C. has hinted as much,
and other Englishmen confirm what he has
said.”
The French papers ofMay R.’ and 26, are
_cliit-fly filled with the discussion respeciirig
Greece, originating in the proposal of estim-
ates for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Geri.
Sebasiiana tirade an eloquent speech in favor
ofthe Greeks, and gave it as his opinion that
the VVestern Powers of Europe ought to in-
terfere and erect Greece into an independent
:l'<il.(3 as a barrier against Russia. Russia, he
contended, by the execution oftlie Treaty of
Birclrarest, would be enabled to exercise a
power iii the provitices of Walacliia and Mol-
davia, which would etitirely annihilate the
sovereignty claimed by Turkey. It was said
that by the full concession ofilie Rtissian de-
mands, the peace of Europe was now freed.
iiot to he settled at Constaniiitople-—it irrust
he settled at Peiersburgh. The General then
went on to state what he thought would be‘
the result oftlre present negociations about
Greece and Turkey ; the prominent-poiiits of
which were, that Austria would obtaiir a por-
tion ofterritory to rortiid lierdomiiiions on the
side ofCroatia, and that England would add
to the Ionian Republic the islands of the Ar-
chipelago. It may be difficult to state with
certainty what the three Powers which have
taken rnosi ititerest in the late disputes with.
the Porte may ultimately do ;bui we have no
hesitation in repeating what we said before,_.
that we should rest satisfied without any fur-
ther extension ofour dominion in that quar-
ter, and that we have Islands enough, and
Greeks enough, utrder our protection.
