London, April 2.  The Jubilee of the Jews, which is held
every fifty years, in commemoration of their deliverance out
of Egypt, was celebrated on Wednesday by that people. . .
[[6 lines]  They assembled at the Tabernacle in Duke's Place
by six o'clock in the morning, . . . and Signor Lioni, and
several others of the most capital singers that could be
found in Europe, heightened the solemnity of this
procession, by singing several anthems adapted to the
occasion, and accompanied by a band of musick hitherto
unequalled for grandeur upon any occasion. . . [6 lines]
