TIADIcA L MRETING3.--The Public will be glad 1 ‘ ) bear, that the Radical Meetings in several C ountry places, intended to have been held on I\i "( l6 Y next, are postponed. Such is the effect "f that vigorous policy which Government have tdopted for i the preservation of the Realm. 1-11114 T---Our Readers will see, in our fourth Page this day, a Letter from this notorious Midi "l Lender, copied from the Radical (Old) Times, 11 ) which he freely pours forth his abuse on his f ormer astociates and allies, Doctor lAraTsciNt and riiirrLEwooD, whom he represents as wholly de stitute of talents 83 well as worth. He endca -I\luts t o get over the charge of • having employed five pounds helongi!tig to the Radical Treasury f i)c •his own use, but he states 89 a reason why he could not, that there was twenty poundi - left in that Treasury. He might as well have 14 4 that he could not have done so because b e wears a White hat. hle pretends that the Petition which, he wrote, addressed to the Prittqce 114) ENT, `` produced the next day an order 'for th e Payment of 40001. from the broils ut the Admiralty to the Spitalfields Soup Committee," as if the benevolence of the PRINCE REctxr, and Government, could need any incitement from this obtrusive Radical. But the whole of his Let ter compound of vanity and abuse of those men, Iv h*, when it was the interest of his popularity, .re represented as fir Champions in the cause ar Radical Reform. We have also inserted a Let ter from Doctor WaTsoN, accepting the honours 41. the Chair, at the ensuing Radical Meeting. Litt the Doctor has. taken no notice of the charge hgli nst him, which appeared in our Paper of i 'etioesd a y lest, brought by a Geptletuan of hlls- P4tithle veracity, whose name we are permit -44 to disclose, a charge of having offered to sell I"seff tt, Governnent, if it would enable him to II " lip a shop, or furnish him with money enough ttl remov e himself and his family out of the King vitt°lll• It i s to b e h o p e d t h at h e will he called upon, 4 * n he is seated in the Radical Chair, to answer ;eh an imputation upon his disinterested Public N r it and Patriotism.

The Yoblic, we are persuaded, will hear `with pleasure, that matters are in a train of amicable adjustment between Mr. C. KEMBLB and the Ma., nager of Covent Garden Theatre. The Stage is not 80 abondatitly supplied with theatrical talents, that We can afford ►o lose such admirable Per formers as this Gentleman and his Wife, who would have ranked I►igh in their profession at any period of our dramatic histoty, and whose private characters are so justly esteemed. The Persian Ambassador, now on his tour to the North, arrived at York on Saturday last. On Sunday his Excellency visited the Cathedral, and o n Mond a y proceeded on his journey. The 13;shop of Coax, last week, held his An nual Public Examination in the Scriptures and Ca techism, of the Children of Cork, in that Ci:y.— His Lordship, on this occasion, was attended by twenty-eight clergymen of his diocese,. and the . number of children examined, amounted to twelve hundred and thirty-nine. At the General Meeting, of Lieutenancy for the County ,and City of Worcester, holden at the Hop-pole lon, in that city, the Earl of Covsts:- TRY, the Lord Lieutenant, and Recorder of the city, at tire conclusion of the Meeting, observed— " It-Was impossible to separate without express ing his sincere . congrattdations on the tranquillity of this loyal county awl city, at an awful moment of intended Revolution, unrlrr the specious mask of Reform ; he trusted the county and city of Worcester would ever remain unshaken io their principles, devot , d to the Throne, and steady in the mairvenance of our excellent Constitution. Under this iMpression he had not considered it necessary to convene a Meeting for the purpose of addressing the Prince Regent, being well assured that his Royal Highness had implicit confidence in the fi.telity and attachment of this loyal coun ty and city." The Bishop of LONDON, on WeduesdAy l as t, Consecrated the.netv hurying•ground at South ►ningter, in E%sex, after preaching a most impres sive discourse to a numerous congregation, in aid of the National School of that town.

A RADICAL STANDARD BEARER—One Daniel Connell, blacksmith, was lately prosecuted before the 111 , gis:rates of Glasgow, for enter ing the house of an aged widow, on Saturday night last, and committing a cruel assault on her and her family and being convicted, was sen tenced to sixty days' confinement in Blidewrll, and ordered to enter into security tot his good behaviour for twelve months hereafter. Connell was confined in Bridewell three months on a former occa s ion. and is well known to the Po lice Officers. This person appears to have late ly taken up the trade of a " Radical Reformer," having had the honour to carry the - principal Standard at the march to Meikleriggs Moor, where he, no doubt, in common with others, mourned for the victims to the " brutal rage the Manchester Yeomanry ;" hut he seems to liaVte for got himself on the day of the Itotherp,len Meeting, for he partook largely of vile spititoos liquors in the afternoon, and at night, wreaked his venge ance on helpless females wider their own roof. EXTRAORDINARY ComcinuNca.---Doring the hop-picking all the qiree tollowing accidents happened on the extensive plaotatioo of JAM as ELLIS, Esq. of Harming, in three different parishes, on the same day and same hour A boy on climbing a walnut tree after a jaektlaw's nest, fell trot), it, and was killed on the spot- at East Fatly Bridge, in the palish of East Fatly.

Inquests were held upon the three different bodies, the next day, by two different Coroners, when the Juries returned " Accident al Death" upon the two, and " Insanity" upon the third. • UNIVE {iBiT itrtLi,idtt4ct, VISIT OF rRiNtE LEOPOLD TO OXFORD. °stroll°, OCT. 29.-11 having been ascertain= ed that his Roved Highness Prince taoroLn, on his return to the Metropolis front the North, had contemplated a visit to this University, it was unit nitudosiy determined„ by a vote of Convocition on Thursday last, that the Honorary Degree of LL.D. should be presented to him by diplotni.— Accordingly the Vice,;:hanrellor accompanier) by the two Proctors, went at an eat !y hour yesterday morning to the seat of Earl Haicourt, at Nolte ham, (who re he had arrived on the preceding evening) lot the pin pose of confet ring upon him that distinctiOn. Shortly afterwards his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Noble Ball kind the Members who foinied his suite, arrived in Oxford ; and the Theatt e having been appointed as the place of Couvocation, the Plitiee (tvearing the Order of the Garter, and in his Doctor's robes) walked into it, side by side with the Vice-Chancellor, and was followed by the young Noblemen of the Univer sity, and a long train of Academical Dignitantts. The following distinguished personages, forming part of his Royal Highness's suite, were then in , - ttoduccd, with the customary ceremonials, to the Vice Chancellor, and admitted to .the Honorary Degree of LL.D.:— The Baron de Hardenhrock, Xnight of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Ste. and Equerry and Aide-de-Canip to his Royal Highness the POnee Sir Anbert'Williain Gardiner, K:C.23; &c. and Equerry and Aide-de-Camp to Ins noyal filOiness the Prince Le,poid. Christian Frederick Stocktuar, M.D., Physician to his hoyeti Highness the PrinFe•Linpold. They were sevenilly presented by ins. Philli more, Esq. M. P.. and Professor or Civil Law its the University, who, in a Latin speech, recom mended by his wonted energy of manner and ful ness of tone, not only commemorated their trophies and private deserts, hut with a mas terly address and the most graceful felicity, both of composition and delivery, adverted to the in teresting sorrows of \ the. Prince whom they server!, and the honourable sympathy with which those feelings had been shared by the whole po pulation of Britain. The Theatre was crowded to its very extremities; and both on the entrance and departure of his Royal Highness, it rang and thril!ed with a thunder of applause that seemed to rush irresistibly from the heats of those who bestowed it. The- remainder of the morning (which, we are sorry to say, was very unpropitious) was occupied by his Royal Highness in visiting the public build• ings of the University, and in the evening he dined at the lodgings of the Vice-Chancellor, where he met the Earl of Harcourt, the litshop of Oxford and Landaff, the Dean of Christ Church, with some few wirers of the Heads of llonses,and the two Proctors. It is needless for us to say,. that, at such a table, the Prince received every gratification that could be conferred by a very elegant banquet, still further adorned and re commended. by the most refined and highly culti vated manners, and all the graces of hospitality on the put of those who bad the honour to ett twain him.—His Royal Highness was dressed in a suit of black, and wore his hair without pow der. His figure is tall, and finelyproporlioned. He appeared to labour (so far, at least, as such feelings could be denoted by an external appear ance) under much depression of spirits, and a pale and tlioughthil cast of melancholy'hung over his countenauee—it being probable that the healing hand of time has not, as yet, dosed the deep and sacred wounds inflicted by that severe dispensa tion of Providence, whiCh is still fresh in the re collection of all our Readers. 3 8 mes I+,•cl the Mayor, convened a Spe cial Common Council. yesterday folenoon, upon occasion of the Prince's visit to this city, whet eat the following Resolution was passed unanimously, viz..— " The Mayor having assembled his Council upon the arrival in this City of his august Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Co hourg, the illustrious and beloved Consort of our late most deeply lamented Princess Charlotte of Wales, this House, anx ious to pay every possible tribute of respect to her blessed memory, and to evince their profound respect and regard.for a Pri , :ce who has endeared himself to this Nation, not less by his virtuous and exemplary conduct, than by his near con nexion with the Royal Family, do unanimously, resolve to present to his said august Highness Prince Leopold, the ho norary Freedom of this City; and to request of hi 3 11;gh n vss that he will be graciously pleased to allow his oame to be en rolled amongst the Members of this ancient and loyal Cor poration." And we understand that the Prince is to be waited upon at rite seat-of Earl Harcourt, at None ham, at nine o'clock this wurniug, by a deputa tion, consisting of the Msyor, the Belie') of Assist ants, the Bai;iffs, and Town Clem k, for the purpose of presenting to hii Highness, in do_ form, the honorary Freedom thus voted to him. His lioyal Highness Prince Leopold, on his ar rival in Oxford, on Thursday evening changed horses at the , Star Inn, where the populace greeted hint with three cheers.

Rev , top of Eg6esfurd, in the lame county, OLD iIA t This mbitning the Court was extremely crowd ed, principally by the auriferous witnesses to give evidence on the Charges against persons for Post- Office Robberies. On the Judges taking their seats, John Trapp, a person of Mean appearance, was put to the bar, charged With, " for that he being a person employed in the General TWopenny Post-Office, did secrete and Steal' a letter, con taining a forty and a fitty pound Bank of England note, seat by a person named Fenton from Hali fax, to Mr. Thomas Fuller at Poplar." To this indict 'bent the prisoner pleaded Not Gnilty: Livatty shortly after, on the prisoner's be. half, applied to the Court for permission for the prisoner to retract his plea of Not Guilty, and to he allowed to plead Guilty to the minor offence of stealing a letter only, 'that letter not containing money—which in law is only a larteny.—Mr. OURNRY said, that under certain -circumstances the application would he granted, but it was no t to be supposed that it would be in any other. The prisoner was then put ou his trial for the Capital offence, and no evidence being offered, was ac quitted. John Month, a person of respectable appearance, and of most respectable connexions, w.s then put to the bar, charged on several indictments with stealing letters to an enormous extent 5 these let• tern containing money.. To these charges the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The Iliad was pro ceeding whenotrr Reporter left the Court. Mr. Sheriff PARKINS did not wake his appear. ance in Court this morniog. ARSON.—Yesterday 'hue Cooke was put to the bar, for setting fire to the house of Mr. Campbell, in Mary-le-bonne parish. Mr. BOLLARD, in stating the case, remarked, ihat the sole motive of the Sun Ft:e•ofce, in instituting this prosecution, was fur the purpose of putting 811 end to any doubts which might have existed on the snhject : because, if it should appear that the unhappy ‘voinall at the bar com mitted the offence in a state of insanity, she would he taken care of in future, in the manner provided for by law. He then called several witnesses, whose evidence was exactly the same as that which has repeatedly appeared in our Police Reports, and which it is, therefore, unnecessary to repeat. An objection was taken to the indictment, rela.. live to the manner in which Mr. Campbell was described, and the Learned Judge said be should reserve' that fur .the consideration of the Twelve Judges, if it was necessary. The Jury twonti the fit isoner Not Guilty, on ac count of her being in a state of insanity at the time. She was tirdereti to be ileitiineel therefore in prison, till his Majesty's pleasure relative to tier should be known. LAW INTELLIGLNLI3I. couRT OF KING'S BENCIT, OCT. t 9.

At first he persisted in stating that he-was a native of Halifax, in America; but when the - oath was adminittered he confessed being a native of Dublin' • This is a sort of defence which has late ly become very prevalent amongst the Scotch and Irish poor, who, dreading the idea of being sent home poor and wretched, generally claim some of the British settlements to which the poor laws do not extend, in hopes of escaping with -even days' imprisonment. The prisoner was committed, and afterwards ordered to be sent home to his own country. Do M-STliEhT.—Vesterthly William Lane was committed to Newgate for trial on a charge of felony, under the following circumstances : Tie prisoner.
