WEDNESDAY. JULY 4.  Unfortunately for the gay company assembled in this city, the day has turned out very wet and rainy. The clouds, which kept up, yesterday, in the must &mumble way, gathering fresh vapours iu the night, began the deluge, which has continued. with  rrrJ tittle .ilikal0.10401; fut Ike WI "It*" Ill•anor the lidversity Bu,iness, however, for Wednesday. being of less interest than on either the preceding Tuesday, or the following days, our disappointment has not yet been so severely felt as it would be, were the weather to continue in its present unfavourable state.  A melancholy event marked this inauspicious morning, and threw a degree of gloom over that part of the town where at happened. A Mr. Tid. bolt, a Bachelor of Arts in Balliol College, was found in Broad-street, about "weer' o'clock, most dreadfully disfigured, and covered with blood. It appears that he bad fallen from his room window, in the upper story of, the College, but io what way the accident happened cant be accounted for. The most probable conjecture is, that the uufortanate sufferer had arisen in his sleep, and met with this shocking calamity. lie was in his shirt, Burl, from his excelleut character, and serene habits of life, it is impossible to. impute his melancholy fate to any desigu on his part to commit the horrid act of suicide. The disfigured ■nd mutilated body was immediately taken up sod carried to Dr. Stevens, who gives no hopes of being able to save the life which yet lingers in the bruised and broken frame.  Notwithstanding the torrents of rain, a most splendid assemblage of female rank, beauty and for took place in St. Mary's Church, to hear the Strain!' preached by the Rev. Dr. Howley, Regiui Professor of Divinity, and Canon or Christ's Church, fur the benefit of the Radcliffe Infirmary. Long before 1 lo'clock, the hour appointed for the commencement of the service, the galleries. which were solely appropriated for the use of ladies, were crowded to on overdow, and a number of tine females occupied seats in the body of the church. The other parts were thronged wait genteel coinparry to the very aisles and passages. At half past ten o'clock tlw Governors aril public officers belonging to this humane institution, met et t,•e Rad. litre Library, and from thence walked in procession.in therreomtnoo black rubes. at eleven o'clock, to the church. which they entered by the south door, and took their seats in the place appropriated to them, sit. the Alegre's seats, which are minediately ender the galleries, and opposite to the organ and pulpit. In the procession were the Chancellor and Vice• Chancellor, the Stewards of the Intim:my, Sir 0. Page Turner, sod Thames Schutt, Esq. the Duke of Somerset. Earl Spencer, Earl Temple, the Rieht Hon. C. AlArst, the Speaker of the Rouse of Commons, and Member for Oxford, the Bishop of St. Aleph, Sir J. Ansttrathe•,

In consequence of that report he hid received a letter from Mr. Jobs Webb, of Hastings, in the county of Ssesta, enclosing hist a Si. note fur the use of Elise Thompson.

THE LIBERAL.  The cense of freedom is never exposed to so much danger as when its injudicious friends, ender the in. Ihrence of any temptation whatever, hazard the assertion of principles that are opposed to the social sympathies or the moral feelings of mankind. This remark is suggested to us by the recent publication of the Liberal, end more particularly by the three, certainly very indifferent epigrams on the death of Lord Castlereagh which it contains. We shall not be suspected of a wish to palliate any of the enormities of which that Minister was the sathor or the agent, when we express frankly the disgust which these productions have excited in our minds. Suicide, from whatever cause it may spring, whether from philosophy, remorse, impiety, or mad. peso, can never be the fit subject of epigram. The limed taste, which, in this instance, do bet re-echo the voice of nature, forbid any approach to levity on such a theme. • We should not certainly have deemed it necessary to advert at all to this subkct, if certain friends of the authors in England, still more injudicious then themselves, had not attempt. ed, by cool and sober argument, to defend these miseries, long after the writers in Italy had begun, as we ebsritably hope, to feel ashamed of the taste sod temper which inspired them. It is with the principles/re which this defence is attempted that we have new ti do ; embarked as we are, honestly end zea. loosly, in the some political cause with the promul. peers of these principles, we are anxious to disclaim any participation in them, lest the errors of individuals should be mistaken for the opinions of a party, and the enemies of freedom and reformation obtain an accidents' and unmerited triumph. The imputation of cant is no sufficient answer to the animadverrions which these pointless and misapplied jocularities have justly incurred. Because cant is too prevalent in ihe world, are the genuine prompting' .f good sense and right feeling to be checked or silenced? If there are pretenders to temperance, who exhilarate themselves in private, are we therefore to exhibit ourselves in the streets, drank before flinger, and vociferate as we reel along, " We are no canters ?"

DREADFUL SUICIDE.  Yesterday mo►ning Mr. Nis. boot and shoemaker, residing at Mr. Bartlett's, corner of White Hart ya►d, Deery-laae, in • lit of delirium, put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with • rssor. His wA we in bed with him at the tune he perpetrated the dresdfld dced, and was awoke by the awe► of the blood issuing from the wound. He divided the jugular vein and the windpipe, sad, is feet. •early seemed the head from the body at one stroke. lie has been fire months subject in rheumatic pains in the limbs, which have recently affected his head. Excessive pain, it is believed, prorlueed temporary &reflectional, and is that state of mind be committed the lamentable act.  The Bath and Brlotol van, drawn by four white horses, made a most formidable appearance as it passed down the Strand yerterday about tire o'clock, with its vacillating top, on a level with the third story of some of the houses in the street, threatening so overthrow at every step. A short time ago the driver of one of those unwieldy vehicles was killed by its braking dowel in the Strand, near Charing-cross ; bum, aniseed of a warning, it appears to have operated with others as an inducement to court a like fate.  The number or commitments for trial at the approaching Old Bailey Sessions, on the 17th inetsset, already exceeds the unprecedented slumber of 200. On Thursday last a ballad singer and his wife, of the mime of GODFREY, who by the demob of • relation became possessed of near 6001. which they received iii February last, lost two of the only remaining bank notes of 1001. each, which he lied carried in Isis fob, wider his watch, since he acquired this large and unexpected wealth, in • very exi►aordinsry and mysterious manner. This loving pair, who were well known for their croaking melodies in the streets of the metropolis, indulged by taking a couch from their residence in Lambeth, at eleven o'clock in the morning, to fetch a picture of the amiable and liendsome vocal performer to the Mint in the Borough, which had been previously left to receive the brightest pobah, and after riding about the town five hours, and condescending to make some visits to their old acquaintances, time two notes, which were carefully folded in the morning emit • third and lint note of 31. were discovered to be gone, and the 3/. note remained, to the no small morsificatioo and surprise of this musician. He will obtain the numbers of the last notes this warping at the bookers from whom be received them, mud give notice to the bank.  z_--~
