It has often been remarked that men, as Members
of Public Bodies; are found willing to recommend
and pursue measures, in the name of their Body,
which they would feel insulted to have imputed to
them as individuals, —We have a case in point, in the
efforts now making by the Universities and Public Li-
braries, to compel Authors to furnish them with
books gratis. As individuals they would sown at the
imputation of robbing an author ; and Set these very
individuals, acting in their corporate capacity, are
now using every afgurrent they can devise to per-
suade Parliament to tax authors exclusively for the
benefit of their own Bodies.—Do they take our Le-
gislators for idcots ?
The Metropolis was last night and early this morn-
ing visited with a most tremendous storm of thunder,
lightning and wind. The lightning was the most
vivid, and the flashes of the longest duration we ever
witnessed, illuttining the horizon to an immense dis-
tance. At three o'clock the rain descended in tor-
tent:, and the thunder, which previously sounded from
a distance, appeared in a perpendicular direction, and
the flashes were repeated with quicker successions
soon after which the whole subsided into a dead calm.

During the firing of the artillery at Woolwich, on
Monday, BLUCHER'S horse appeared shy, but the gal•
lant rider brought him up so close to the guns, the
animal's tail was singed.
• Drury-lane Theatre last night was honoured with
the appearance of General PLATOFF. He arrived
about ten o'clock with his Aides.de•Camp, and took
his seat in the REGENT's box. The people testified
their joy in their usual manner, by loud shouts and
huzzas ; the performers instantly came forward, and
sang Gon save the King. The entertainments for the
evening then proceeded, except occasionally a trifling
interruption from the persons in the pit, male and fe-
male., who pressed forward to shake hands with the
Herman, who most cordially complied with their
wishes. He is a fine athletic figure, with a martial
countenance t he was richly dressed in a blue uni-
form, with several stars. He seemed highly pleased
while he stayed, but left the House about 11 o'clock,
when he repaired to Covent Garden Theatre, where
he experienced the same hearty welcome as at the
other Hzuse.
A meeting took place on the morning of Tuesday
se'nnight, about six o'clock, near the New Barracks,
Paisonstown, between a Mr. A--.--r and Lieutenant
E-4--s, of the Wicklow Regiment, which nearly
proved fatal to the former Gentleman ; the parties
tired Four shots each, without effect, and by an error, at
the fifth, Mr. A.'s pistol was not cocked when handed
to him. in consequence he lost his fire, Lieutenant
E.'s taking effect on his opponent's hip-bone, but not
with sufficient strength to break it. The ball fell at
Mr. A.'s foot, who called to Lieutenant E. to stand,
but that Gentleman did not conceive himself obliged
to suffer Mt. A. to fire at him under such circum-
stances. Mr. A. was then conveyed to a carriage in
waiting, and is in a lair way of recovery.

AL

T To OYFORD.

The ALLIED SOVEREIGNS were detained at Lord
Citol.moNhELtr's magnificeht Fete till near three
o'clock yesterday morning, notwithstanding which

the PRINCE REGENT left Carlton-House before six,

and soon after meeting the EMPEROR of Remstit, the
Ductless of OLDENBURCII, the KING of PRLSSIA, and

his Sons, the whole of the Illustrious Party, with
their respective suites, set out for Oxford, forming
collectively a succession of fifteen carriages, each

drawn by four hoises. Crowds as numerous as on

the day of their arrival collected to enjoy the sight,
and hailed them with torrents of ecstatic applause.

" OXFORD, JUNE 14, NINE o'CLOCK, P.M.
" For these ten days past, all has been hope,
bustle, and anxiety, in this City and University. The
influx of visitors has been greater than ever known
on any of the many ptevious occasions.
" Lord Grenville, our Chancellor, arrived yester-

day forenoon, followed by Earl Spencer, Earl For-
tescne, Earls of Darnley, Essex, and Pembroke, Mr.
C. Wynne, and many other Noblemen and Gentle-
men of the University. Shortly atter the Chaacel
lor's arrival, he proceeded to the Divinity School,
and there opened the Convocation in the usual forms.
All the preparations for the reception of his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent and his illustrious guests
the Emperor of Russia and Duchess of Oldenburg,
the King of Prussia and his family, and those who
attend the two Monarchs, were arranged in the course
of the evening. The 9th regiment, and some detach-
ments of other regiments of dragoons, and troops of
the Oxfordshire yeomany, entered the city.
This morning being fixed for the expected ar-
rivals, the utmost activity prevailed. Half-past ten
was the time appointed by the Chancellor for the as-
sembling of the University to meet their august Visi-
tors. At a meeting of the Chancellor, Heads of
Houses and Proctors, held in the Delegates' Room,
a Prograrama was drawn up and issued, by which all
the arrangements were ordered ; according to which
all Members of the University, Under Graduates and
Bachelors, all Masters of Arts, Proctors, Doctors,

Heads of Houses, and Noblemen ; in short, all the

_ .
University went out, each in his proper habit, and
_ .__.

ranged themselves in lines on either side of the High-
street from St. Mary's Church, to the west end of
Magdalen bridge, to which Seniors were nearest. The
centre of the street was left entirely open and unintera
rupted by horsemen or carriages. The Yeomanry
were stationed between the gownsmen and the foot-
way, which was thus left incommoded for the nume-
rous spectators. The windows of all the houses in
Higiastreet were crowded with Ladies. Lord Francis
Aimaric Spencer was Commanding Officer of the
troops on duty.
44 The Noblemen and other Members of the Uni-
versity attended the Chancellor at Doctor Coles, at
Exeter College, at ten o'clock, and accompanied his
Lordship shortly afterwards to the Hall of Magdalen
College, where permission was given by the President
and Fellows of that College, for those who formed
part of the Procession to meet. The Duke of York,
and many other distinguished persons, repaired thi-
ther. The Mayor and Aldermen, in their robes, and;
the Corporation of the City of Oxford appeared, and
took their station on Magdalen Bridge.
gg At twelare o'clock, shortly after the arrival of the,
Prince of Mecklenburg in the Queen's carriage, an
avant courier annottoced the approach of the Prince
Regent ; and Lord F. A. Spencer rode out tc meet
Royal Highness.
The Prince came in his private travelling car-
riage and four, and alighted on the bridge, where his
Royal Highness was met by the Chancellor, who laid
the staves of the Bedels of the University at his Royal
Highness's feet. The staves being most graciously
returned, the Mayor advanced and presented to his
Royal 1 lighness the ensigns of his office., which
being also most graciously returned, the procession
was immediately commenced on foot. The Corpo-
ration walked first, the Juniors preceding. Then
walked the Chancellor of the University in his full-
dress robes, and the Mayor of the City in his robes,
on his left hand. All were uncovered. The Prince
Regent came next, with his hat in his hand. His
Royal Highness was in the Windsor uniform
(dark blue and scarlet), and wore the Order of
the Garter, and dip Russian and Prussian Orders.
—The Duke of York was on his right, wearing
his academic robe, and the Order of the Gartet.—
Their Royal Highnesses were followed by Lord Sid-
mouth, the Earls of Darnley, Harcourt, Essex, Pem-
broke, Spencer, and Fortescue, the Bishop of Peter-
borough, and a long train composed of the Nobility,
Clergy, and members at the University. The royal
and academic procession then moved up the High-
street, and turning to the right at St. Mary's Church,
passed the Radcliffe Library to the Divinity School ;
in approaching which, the members of every rank
formed lines to the right and left, while his Royal
Highness was conducted by the Chancellor and the
proper Officers to his seat. Being seated, the Prince
Regent received the Address of the University from
the Chancellor, to which his Royal Highness made
a Most gracious answer. The Chancellor then pre-
sented to the Regent the Officers of the University,
and afterwards, accompanied by them, attended his
Royal Highness to the apartments prepared for his
reception at Chtist Church College, there to receive
his Royal Highness's commands for conducting him,
and the distinguished personages who were every mo-
ment expected, in suitable ceremony, to those Col-
leges and public buildings of the University, which
it might be his Royal Highness's pleasure to visit. •
" All eyes in the crowded street and on the bridge
were now turned with impatient expectation east-
ward, to behold the Emperor Alexander, and every
appearance of an officer, or a servant in royal livery
at a quick pace, was regarded as an indication of his
Imperial Majesty's instant coming. At length, after
the lapse of about an hour, a post-chaise and four,
containing Lords Yarmouth and Cathcart, was hail-
ed as the immediate precursor of the Russian Em-
peror. Within a few minutes afterwards, preceded
by the General, Lord C. A. Spencer, and a few light
dragoons, Alexander, and his amiable and accom-
plished sister, appeared in an open barsasche of the
Prince Regent's, drawn simply by four post-horses.
They had no companions in the carriage. The Em-
peror was dressed in a plain blue coat, wore his hair
without powder,, and with his hat continued bowing

to the public, constantly
way up the High-street.
" The Duchess of Oldenburg wore a magnificent
plume of feathers, and, like her Imperial brother,
constantly expressed her kind feelings -of the respect
testified to them, by similar tokens of gratification
and condescension. The appLarance of Alexander
attracted every one, and was the theme of general
admiration. His manly and healthful look, the po-

Tully, the whol

lished yet simple and unaffected d.gnity of his !win-
ner, which alone bespeaks majesty, the benignant
beamings of his countenance, and the inward s:ttislac-

tion which spoke intelligibly from his eyes, delighted
and warmed the hearts of all, who, thnitgli they

cheered much, cheered less than they would,—.nly

cause they wished to behold more steadily tl:i! merited
object of their applause. The Emperor and his sis.
ter drove to Merton Cu!lege, which, though moulder-
ing in many parts, from the effects of centuries, con•
tains apartments commodious and excellent.
44 His Majesty the King of Prussia entered Oxford
a short time after the Emperor of Russia, likewise
in an open barouche of the Prince Regent's, drawn
by post-horses. The King was accompanied by his
two sons, the Princes of Prussia, and another person
of 'distinction. His Majesty preserved the s ime sims
I.plicity of appearance with his brother Sovereign,
and was not, at first, easily recognized. He was
dressed in a plain brown coat, and repeated the tes-
timonies of his satisfactitn to the public with the
evident impresSion of strong feelings. His eons
bowed, and looked round them with all that gene-

rolls delight, and heartfelt joy, that are naturally
to he erpected from Princes at their early period
of life, at a reception, the kindness of which
might well have caused them to imagine them belvts
re-entering the city of Berlin itself. They went
to the residence prepared for them at the College
of Corpus Christi, in front of which the Prussian
Eagle was immediately placed, and a Guard of Ho-
noir:- posted. trards of the 9th Dragoons were alq-)
stationed at the grand entrance into Christ Cherc:i,
and at the eastern entrance by the Triunipal Arch.
" Several gsrriages, with the at.endaras of the
Russian and Prussian Monarchs, continued t' come
in till four, when the veteran hero, Blucher, arr:-.7t d,
whose presence was the signal for the most enthus .!--
tic acclamations. The aged Hero, Ajax of the w
was in a dark suit, with a blue ribband under his COA..
He stood up erect and nobly in an open carriage of
the Prince ; and bowed with the manliness, which
became a warrior, who had found his fame gone be-
fore him among foreign nations, and who was reaping
the harvest of his valour and his toil. The Marshal
was conducted to Christ Church, where he alighted,
and was received in the most marked manner. The
military on duty were then dismissed.
With his characteristic curiosity and activity,
Alexander, after looking at his sapartnunts, nt Mer-
ton, and the College, walked out to view the gardens
behind, which adjoin the Classic-grove of Christ
Church. He remained there a short time, surveying
the beauties of the place, and was walking in the pub-
lic streets before three o'clock, accompanied by the
Duke of Devonshire, Earl Fortescue, and the Earl
of Essex, with whom he made immediately the tour
of the most distinguished Colleges and public edifices.
His Majesty, in the course of his walk, visited Brase.
nose, All Souls, Corpus Christi, Christ Church, and
three other Colleges, the Clarendon Printing-house,
the Divinity School, and St. Mary's Church. The
ermed-following his Majesty from place to place at
ie;igth accumulated so as to render it expedient to
make an open path for him, by sending a small de-
tachment of dragoons, which dividing into two parts,
the Emperor, and the nohle party with him, walked
between them. About five, Alexander returned to
Merton, bowed to them, and retired to his apartments
clone. There he received the address of the Mayor
and Corporation of Oxford.—The Kir.F of Prussia
received a similar address at Corpus. —'l he Princeof
Orange is at St. John's.
This evening, among the other gratifying novel.
ties of the day, a grand dinner is given by the Uni-
versity to the Regent, the Emperor, and the King,
in the Radcliffe Library, a place in which such as
entertainment, we believe, never took place before.
There is a most magnificent display of plate, p trly
from London, partly from Lord Grenville's, and
partly from the Colleges. The public are admitted
into the gallery to witness this novel and splendid
banquet. The Imperial and Royal parties assembled
in the Hall of All Souls, and walked across to the
Library on a carpet laid over the street."

The Royal Party are expected to return to Town
this evening, or to-morrow noon—it is to be hoped,
in time to view the Annual Assemblage of the Cha-
rity Children of the Parishes of London in St. Paul's
Cathedral—a scene which must inspire the noble
minds of our illustrious Visitors with an emulation
to rival Great Britain in unparalleled Institutions for
conferring the greatest of benefits on the human race.
Saturday the Allied Sovereigns will go in grand pro-
cession to dine at Guildhall, and on Tuesday the Re-
views at Portsmou►h are epected to take place.
! The City have given orders to illuminate that an-
cient structure, Temple Ba►, ;ft • en •&*JI
novel manner, to form a Triumphal Atch for the
Prince Regent and his illustrious Visitors. Precepts
to the Wards through which the Prince Regent is to
pass to Guildhall, on Saturday next, and for block.
ing up the avenues to the principal streets, were yes..
terday ordered to be issued by the Court of Aldermen.
The preparations for the Grand Civic Feast, at
Guildhall, on Saturday next, are of the most costly
nature. The Hall will be lined with crimson through-
out, and illuminated with variegated lamps, inter-
spersed with transparencies, having appropriate mot-
toes to each. The Galleries erected for the accom-
modation of the Ladies occupy a depth of about s.r
feet all round the Hall. Above the Gallery, on the
north side of the Hall, will be erected an Orchestra to
hold the Prince Regent's and the Duke of York's bands.
—The adjoining halls, in which are held the Courts
of Common Council, Aldermen, and the Coatis of
King's Bench and Common Pleas, are to be converted
into drawing-rooms for the occasion, whither the
company are to repair in the first instance.—No seats
(as has hitherto been the custom at the Lord Mayors'
feasts), will be permitted to be occupied in the body
of the Hall, until the Reyal Guests shall have been

seated.

DREADFUL Firm—Thursday morning the Steam.
engine belonging to the manufactory of Messrs. Bow-
ring and Co. at -Hampton, caught fire, when proper-
ty to the amount of B4UW was consumed, exclusive
of the dwelling-house and stables, which were also to-
- tally destroyed, together with four cows ; and to add
to the catastrophe, Mr. and Mrs. B. lost their lives in
attempting to escape ; part of whose remains were
dug from the ruins the next day.
A circular memorandum bas been issued by the
Governor of the Military College, stating that the
ensuing vacation has been deferred by the REGENT%
command, until the Emperor of Russte. has visited
the Establishment.

During the passage of the IMPREGNABLE, the Duke
of CLARENCE'S flag-ship, from Boulogne to Dover,
the Emperor ALEXANDER minutely inspected every
part of the ship, with which he expressed himself
greatly delighted. On his going into the Marines'
whilst they were at dinner, he, after making se-
vcral observations, with the greatesr condescension
ate a piece of their beef, for which he put hit hand into
his pocket, and drew out as many ducats as he could
%old; and left with them ! This magnanimous Sove:
reign was alike affable to every person on board.
-Particular accounts from Norway inform us of the
fi:eil acceptance of the Government of that country
by the PRINCE, now KING CDRIAIAN I. who took
the oaths of fidelity to the people and Constitution,
in the presence of the Diet, renouncing all claims to'
the succession of the Crown of Denmark. All who
acknowledge the authority of the King of DENNIARK,
or who do not approve of the new order of things,
are permizted to leave the country. Among those
who availed themselves of this liberty was Admiral
LUTKIN, who for many years has held the naval
command at Christiansand, personally well known
to thy Brit'sh Naval Officers and Masters of men.
chant ships who have been prisoners in Norway.
—Admiral LLTKIN has arrived in Copenhagen. It
appears that he was previously offered the command
of the Norwegian Navy, and declined the offer: that
command has since been given to Captain HARTING,
who' has already signalized himself by making many
prizes from the Swedes. Ships loaded with provi.
sions continue to arrive in the Norwegian ports from
several qnarters.- There is now no apprehension that
the country will be compelled by famine to submit,
nd not the slightest fear exists of being reduced by
rite Swedish arms.

LAW IWTELLIGEN'CIL .

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IUNC 14.

THE KING V. A. L' AND 111:1U1i AND (micas.
Mr. NoLAN moved for it new trial in this cssr,
which was tried at the Sittings alter last Term. It was
an indictment for a conspiracy against Mr. John
King, Eleanor Murphy, and others; but as Askew
and his wife alone were in Court, Lord ELLEN:II-
I-LIR:GiI said they could not hear any motion unless all
the defendants who were convicted were present.

THE KING V. DIXON.
The defendant was convicted at the last Westmin-
ster Sessions of rni ring allum with his bread, which he
supplied to the hlik.ary Asylum at Chelsea. Mr.
SCARLETT moved for a new trial on the grounds that
he was not criminally responsible for the conduct of

_
his foreman, who made the bread.
The Court said it was otherwise ; and, on the mo-
tion of the ATTOttNEY GENERAL, he was committed to

the King's Bench, in order to be brought up for judg-
ment on a future day.

FRAUD ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
THE KING v. DE BERENGER AND OTHERS.
After the Special Papers had been gone through,
Lord COCHRANE presented himself to the Court, and
spoke to the following effect : ••••4‘ Scarcely recovered
from the shock produced by the late charge of a very
serious, offence, which was preferred against me. I
have to request the indulgence of the Court, not only
on that ground, but,also because I am not habituated
to, nor acquainted with,. the form of proceedings in a
Court of Law. I feel it essentially necessary, on the
present occasion, to apply to your Lordships, in or-
der that what I conceive to be justice may be done to
me with reference to the. proceedings on the late trial
—and I hope I shall be able to satisfy your Lordships,
that a new trial ought to be granted, as far, at least,
as I am concerned and implicated hi the transaction,
to which I allude. It has been my misfortune, lam
sorry to say, to form an intimacy—l beg your Lord-
ships' pardon—l did not mean to use the word inti-
macy—but to form an acquaintance with individuals,'
whose habits, conduct, and general character, have
been most unfavourable to me. i have been infor-
med, my Lords, that it is not competent for Counsel
to move, on an occasion of this sort, orfora new trial;
and, therefore, I am induced to supplicate your Lord-
ships, by a personal application in my own behalf."
Lord EtLeNnottotinit—" You must have been mis-
informed on - that subject. An ap,plicatinn of this
,kind may be made by Counsel, and perhaps with
more convenience and advantage to yourself." •
Lord COCIIIIANy—,, I understand there has.been
a• decision of this Court, which precludes any person,
convicted with others of a conspiracy, from appear-
ing before tie Court to make an application for a
new trial, unless the whole of the conspirators are pre-
sent when the application is made ?"
Lord ELLENRORouOIi--14 That Rule applies,
whether you make the application by Counsel or per-
sonally."
Lord COCHRANE—" It is only to avoid lacing'
Counsel in a situation where the request would. be re-
fused, that I am induced to trespass on your Lord-,
ships, and to crave the indulgence of the Court."
Lord Eu.e.sasonouon--" We cannot hear you,,
unless all the parties to the transaction are in Court.
The application can only be made when all the defen-
dants are preient. The rule of law upon this point
has even been laid down in Court this morning." •
Lord COCHRANE-64 I humbly request your Lord-
ships'
.indolgence to make a short statement to the
Court, of circumstances which appear to me to be
exceedingly material to the elucidation of this tran-
saction."
Lord ELLENIsOROUGH" We are extremely sorry
that we cannot, in a case of this sort, yield to any in-
dividual the right to make such an application. The
rules of law are laid down for the high and the low.
We cannot listen to the circumstances you state your-
self to be about to lay before the Court."
Lord COCHRANE—(exhibiting several papers in his
hand)—" My Lords, I do entreat your Lordships to
allow me to read a statement to the Court, which, I
think, 'is extremely necessary to the full elucidation of
the circumstances of this case."
Mr. Justice Dasieleit—r, The rule of the Court is
impesative, and we cannot suffer it."
Lord Contiltatsit—" The circumstances on which I
make this application are extremely brief. Ido -not
come before your Lordships to make an irrelevant
statement, but one completely pertinent to the trans;
action. I will produce such facts as, I trust, will sa-
tisfy your Lordships that I am justified in making
this application. I hold in my hands affidavits to es.
tablish the truth of the circumstances 1 am about io
state." - •

Mr. Justice Le BLANC-44 We cannot hear then."
Lord ELLEN nottoucli We cannot extend-to you
that indulgence which we would not shew to other
persons. The rule of practice in this Court is impe-
rative. We are txtremely unwilling to interrupt you
on such an occasion, but we cannot forego a rule so-
lemnly laid down. We must oppose the same ob-
jection to an application made by an individual, as
we should interpose if it Avere niade by Counsel."
Lord COCIIKANi—•-" I trust chat I shall be able to
satisfy the Court, that it is most proper to grant a new.
trial in this case. If your Lordships will permit me
to proceed, T. shall be able to prove to your Lord-
ships, by these affidavits, that the justice of the case
requires that a revision of it should take place, as far
as lam concerned. I shall be able to shew to your
Lordships, that I. am innocent-of the offence imputed'
to me; and that those who are guilty in this transac-
tion, and over whom I have no controul, do not dare
to appear in Court."
Lord ELLENBOROUGII—We must really abide by
the rules of the Court, which are imperative upon us.
No 'distinction can be made between the poor and the
rich in the administration of public justice."
Lord COCHRANE—." It has been my.great misfor-
tune to be connected with persons over whom I have
uo sort of controul whatever ; I hope, therefore, that
your Lordship will extend your indulgence so far as
to permit me to read affidavits."—His Lordship was
then proceeding to read an affidavit, when
Lord ELLENBOROUGII again interposed—" The
rules of this Court, as I have already said, must be
observed. They exclude you, and every other per-
son in a similar situation, from making such an ap-
plication. The principle on which we have acted this
day towards other persons (the Askews), must now
be observed towards you. It woulci be said, very na-
turally, if this were not the case; that laws were nude

and dismissed by the above Society.

led, and that Colonel IstiLeod's servant came in the
room, calling the plaituiff by a racist opprobrious
term. The plaintiff's niece, who was in the room,
asked the .defendant how he could suffer his servant
to use such words ? and the Colonel said it was all
true, and he could prove it. After the • words the
plaintiff vas discharged by a Committee appointed to
enquire into the circumstances, and it was contended,
under all the circumstances, that great damages ought
