We have repeatedly warned our Readers not to Place implicit confidence in the Rtel;ut•ts of the Proceedings of the Coroner's Court at Oldham. Notwitlistand:ng all the hrohihi►ions of the Coro- ber against taking Notes, wee find, that. the Re- Porters of The Morning Chronicle and TiteTintes persevere in disregarding that order. We blame not them, however we may be surprised at their Pertinacity, for they are employed in their vOca lion, and their employeri probably mould and %Lope their Reports into a form most suitable to the characters of their respective Journals. We are obliged to copy these lLeports, because they are. demanded by public curiosity ; but we consi der it as our duty, from time 'o time, to repeat our cautions against implicit confidence in the respec tive statements. There can hardly be a stronger proof of the mischievous effect of the Radical , boc:rilies and Milical .3.feelings, than the daring liberties which. are taken hi our Courts of LAW by Reporters and Attornies, observable in the Proceedings of the Coroner's Court at Oldham. At Torincr period, no Solicitor could have presumed t o itt ertere with such officious obtrusion, such Tres tinning and Gross-questioning its Mr. LIAR:Wag has thought proper to slim, and if lie had, he would hive been resolutely turned out of Court. And if I"ciiert ers,after being prohibited from taking notes, 11 ad then persevered in contcmnt of authority, they trotilil have been committed as they ought to le.

The Lent ned Gentleman proceeded at considerable length to dis cuss the various Counts of the information, and concluded by a forcible appeal to the Jury to give the subject an impartial investigation. Mr. GRIFFIN SWATSON, Clerk to the Solicitor of the Treasury, proved the purchasing the book on the Igth of last December. The defend ant supplied him, and asked if witness did not want .half-a-dozen copies. The book was furnished without hesitation, and he paid 10§.6(1. for it. Carlile was proceeding in his defence when our Paper went to Press. His Grace the ArchbiShop of CANTEdBURY was present the whole of the morning, but from the voluminous appearance of the materials for the defence, it does not appear likely that his Lord ship will be called to -day. INEW CoALtertort.—The .following note on a late extraordinary junction in Politics is taken from The Leeds Intelligeneer of yesterday : • c‘ Mr. EotTon,—The unnatural nature of the union between the Whigs and Radicals (if such is to take place), is too self-evident to he further proved, than by stating, that the requisition for a County Meeting, is signed by nearly all the Boroughmongers in Yorkshire, amongst the fore most of whom ate, the Dike of Nottvocx, and Lords FITZWILLIAM, MILTON, THANIPT, Cow- PER, ALTHoIiP . , DUNDAs, and YAttaottouan, all decided enemies to radical reform. This mon strous union cannot lung exist ; and, suspect, the happy couple will fall out before the honey moon (which commences next Tivurday) is half over. • " A. Z." Pfluzcs LEOPOLD.--lAby Castle, the residence of an ancient and truly British family, was last week honour cld by the presence of his Roy:Ai Highness Prince LEOPOLD and his suite. On the approach of the illustrious visitant, iiii Royal Highness was drawn by the populace through the park into the hall of the Castle, and was saluted by the discharge of 21 cannon. The Right Hon. the Earl and Countess of DAELINOTONT received their Royal Guest with every other mark of ho nourable distinction, and with every possible token of English hospitality and. dignified respect. After staying with the Earl and Countess as long vs his trAvelling arrangements would permit, the Prince pursued his tour, highly gratified, &ib% with his visit, and delighted with the re trospect which such a mansion must excite in the bosom of sensibility, connected as that. retrospect must be with the interesting and important oc currences of other times. Mr. PEGLan, King's Messenger, left town on Sunday with despatches for Italy. Mr. litto►vx, King's Messenger, left town yes terday evening with despatches for Paris. The Duke of WELLINGTON is gone down to Maresfield, in Sussex, the seat of Sir Jon:. S E,L - LET, to join a shooting party on a visit there. His Excellency the Persian Ambassador, ac companied by his Secretary, Captain WiccocK, will leave his residence, Charles -street, Berkeley square, early to-morrow morning (Wednesday) for Cheltenham, where his Excellency intends ' staving some time for the improvement of his health ; fro►m thence he viii proceed to York shire, and in nil probability to Scotland. A Petitio❑ has been prepared, and has already received the signatures of many hundreds of re spectable persons which is to be presented to the PRINCE REGENT, praying that his Royal High ness would extend the clemency of the Crow r , t , ► the unfortunate Henry Slent, who was convicted of wounding his .unfaithful wife. This morning every avenue leading to the Guildhall in the City of London was crowded al most to suffocation. Shortly after the doors were opened, Carlilc, accompanied by fiunt and several other persons,a (i ved io b ack ney-coach i con veying an immense quantity of Books, Papers, &c. Shortly ' after they enterer) the Court, the Chief Justice tank his seat on the Bench. Mr. liuNT addressed his Lordship, requesting that the trial that had been so long pending' between himself and the persons belonging to " The New Times" might be brought on, inconformity tot he notices that had been given, which pot it the first 011 the list for trial at the present Sittiogs. this Lordship requested he (HUNT) would not interrupt the proceedings of the Court, and stated that Thurstlay was the day most probable for the Trial to conic on. There not being a sufficient number of Special Jurors present, a Tales was prayed, and the fol lowing were sworn,— POETRY. (From Me Northampton Mercury.] ON. OUP, isIUSICAL FESTIVAL " When Music, Heavenly Maid, was young," As once the muse of COLLINS snug, On Grecian shores she tuned the lay, Arid every passion own'd her sway; Grief, trope, and Fear, enraptured stood, Byt urns were raised, by turns subdued Well could the heaven-taught Maid restrain The Hero's rage, or Lover's pain. But when the Athenian taste was fled, Ahdi all the Fre of OrtrnEt/S dead, Then taught the nymph tier power of sound Midst patriot zeal, on Roman ground, And Echo bore the enlivening strains To linger on Italian plains.— Thence fled the Maid, and deign'd t' impart To Northern Climes her tuneful art, Bad them each Server thought controul. And harmonize the melting soul ; Saw Iranr.r.'s mighty Genius rise, And lift devotion to the shies, The songs of sacred praise inspire And swell the full, majestic lyre. Bad thee, Moza RD, the strain prolong, Through all the lengthening maze of song, Still loved thy varying sounds to hear, And own'J thy " Requiem" with a tear T:ien rose with rapture, to supply Her HaYDN's Soul of Harmony. Where midst the speed of passing Aays b Now pours the Nymph her happiest lays? She winga her flight to Albion's isle, Where each fair science deigns to smile; There strings her lyre, time wakes the tale Of peace and joy through erery vala. Soon where the NI-nis fair streams arc found, Her full and tuneful choir shall sound; There shall she pause on hovering wing, Where "SrEractsrs," " SALmoN," " BRAIIAM," sing, Where " Ca.smtn." leads the harmonious train, And " LINDLEY" draws the full-toned strain; Where " Flynn," with more than Triton's skill, The trumpet's brazen throat shall fill. The " Sainted Roofs" shall catch the song, The " Vaulted Dome" the notes prolong, Which Mercy's triumph would proclaim, And sing the Great " MESSTAII'S" name, Or echo back from Heaven to earth, " The praise of Gon," Creation's birth. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROONI, Om ► I. This being settlinz day for the disputed Leger, there was much bustle, and plenty of money exchanged. It had been stated, that although the .Tocl;ey elolt had decided that An tonio won the race, they not decided that bets were to by paid. they were, however, paid yesterday, as if no dispute had taken place, but as usu.il oil great races there were two ur three defaulters.—There was but little betting, as follows: 5 to 4 Botiiface agst. Allegro, the match next Monday. DERBY. 13 to I agst. Mr. Picrse's W;zard cult, out of Lisette. 14 to 1 agst. THE THEATRE.—The 6Uspicious Husband, one of the last of the old Coin dies, and partaking strongly of their improbalities, was represented last night at Drury-Lane Theatre, and effectively cast in the general allotment of the characters.-- ELLISTON, on his appearance as Ranger, was , greeted with the most gratifying zeal by the au dience. He performed the part with his usual vivacity and effect. r.e audience manifested much satisfaction at the return 01 POPE in the character of Strietland which he supported'in a vet y respecta ble manner. This Actor, who once wielded the tragic truncheon with great success, is now con tent to appear its characters suited to the more sober period of his time of life and in that pro vince he will be a strong prop to the Theatre. Mrs. EDWIN, in Clarinda, was very spirited. Mrs. MANDY:4 resumed the part of Jocintha, and was well received. Mrs. OEGEEti Mrs. Strictland was imeresting; and Miss KELLY ant' ENIGHT, ill tire servants, afforded much entertainment. Rus set.t. hardly threw foppery enough into the part of Jack Meggot, but the character is obsolete, and difficult to support without affectation, revolting, with all its good humour. There is no help for the improbabil;ties of this piece. If a modern Ranger were to enter a house by a rope-ladder, it is probable that Jdstice Bums would examine him by laws very different from those of the Drama and if Gentlemen were to draw their swords, and begin tilting at noon-day on the open streets, the People would probably treat them as Madmen. When QuIN, who was consulted on a proper name for this piece, considering the chief incidents as unworthy of legitimate Comedy, he said that it ought to be called The Hat and the Ladder. The- Tragedy of The C.;rib Chief, represented last season at Drury-lane Theatre, has been brought forward at Ednr.trgh, at considerable expence. Mr. KEAN was of course the Hero. Mr. SINCLAIR, Lite of Covent-Garden Theatre, who has been studying vcith much advantage at Paris,underPgwontNt and other eminent [(lavers, has left the French capital, and gone to 'Milan, where lie is to devote the winter season to the acquisHon of further improvement in his profes sion. Milan possesses the best Theatre in Italy, and is much superior to Florence in point of musical merit and attraction. COURAGE.—On Saturday, t‘vo little boys named William and Robert Carruthers, the former ten years old, the latter eight, sons of Mr. Robt. Car ruthers, of Lower Thatms-street, were together at Billingsgate-stairs. The youngest, who had a favourite little dog, was in the act of washing the little animal, when his foot slipped and lie was precipitated into the water; and the current, which was running very strong, carried him some distanca. The eldest, observing the dan ger of his brother who was struggling in the water, at the peril of his own life instantly leaped in after hint to endeavour to save him ; he atter some difficulty caught him round the waist, and used every exertion to bring his brother ashore ; but, finding his efforts were in vain on account Of the tide, he screamed aloud for assistance, and Greenwich Waterman rowed towards them and succeeded in rescuing the two brothers from their perilous situation.

Low FEVER.—Extract of a letter dated SeVille, September 22.—" You will have heard that Cadiz has declared itself in a state of ineommunication in consequence of the fever there ; fortunately, however, the deaths are few in proportion to the number of sick.— Within these few days, from six to eight cases of fever have preserved themselves in this city, but though they are allowed to be c.mtagious, the medical-board will not admit them to be the yellow-fever ; at any rare there is little fear of its extending, as the %veil ther is now cool, and every possible measure is taken by our board of health to prevent its spread ing : to night the few sick persons arc to be removed to the lazaretto out of town.
