London, July 18. Sunday evening one of the students who was
lately expelled the University of Oxford, preached a sermon
on Hampstead-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 Holborn, who was at length seized
by the populace, and very severely handled. The whole was a
scene of riot and confusion.
