London, July 18.
Sunday evening one of the students who was lately expelled
the University of Oxford, preached a sermon on Hempstead-
Heath, where, it is computed, about five thousand persons
were assembled on the occasion. A company of about two
hundred men and women paraded about the town in the
afternoon, singing hymns &c. but were frequently interrupted
and insulted by a young fellow, said to be a shopman to a
tradesman in Holburn, who was at length seized by the
populace, and very severely handled. The whole was a scene
of riot and confusion.
