EAST HOATHLY. — To each poor person, whether man, wcJlnan, or child, were distributed 2 lbs. Of beef, a sixpenny loaf, and a pint of strong beer, the comforts of which were extended to 230. In addi- tion to the above, the peasantry had a good supply of strong beer, to drink his Majesty's health.
FLETCHING. — The Jubilee was observed with due attention. After divine service, which was numerously attended, all the work- men employed by Lord Sheffield, with their wives and families, up- wards of 1...30 in number, assembled at Sheffield Place. When they had plentifully feasted on roast beef, plum-pudding, and other viands, Lord and Lady Sheffield entered the festive hall, and his Majesty's health was drank with three times three, accompanied by a royal salute from the cannon in the Park. His Lordship then took the opportunity of observing that, "under the government of our excellent King, this country continues to flourish and grow rich, while all the other nations of Europe are sunk in the most abject state of slavery and misery ; and their young men dragged from their homes to fight the battles of their enemy and tyrant in foreign and distant countries, where they perish by hundreds of thousands ; that, in consequence of the prosperity of this country, we are enabled to pay taxes to an amount never experienced before ; but that the Legislature had taken care that no taxes should fall on the absolute necessaries of life, such as com, bread, meat, fish, and other articles, which are most severely taxed in other States ; that, the great mass of taxes is imposed on the rich, and on those who can best afford to pay them ; that the taxes they pay are very heavy indeed, to which, however, they clieerfuUy submit, knowing that their property, their families, their freedom, and their religion, cannot be preserved by any other means ; that, amidst all the calamities of the rest of the world, we have lost neither territory nor credit ; we have expended large sums, it is true, in de- fence of our Allies, and of the liberties of mankind ; we have sent forth great armies, who have raised the character of British valour to a height even beyond what it had reached before ; and, at no period has the name of Britain ever attained greater honour and re- nown, and the manufactures, the commerce, and the revenue of the country, have never been in so prosperous a state as under the bene- ficent reign oi the Sovereign, whom it has pleased God to spare so long to us.
