We rust, then, that Goeernint•nr will keep a watchful eye upon this seditious Winer, and not act towards him with Tess energy and decision than they have shewn Fitt) respect to Earl FITZWILLIAM. Ministers lhould remember that on his conviction for a Libel be dillayed the most abject timidity, and offered, to submit to any terms to avoid fine and ilri P r i 4 oninent. Ministers ought now to have full knowledge of his character ; and they may be assured that in proportion to their lenity will be his impudence, and that if be has reason to rear Weir vigour, be will shrink into the most t"brnissive pusillanimity. If Government, there f°re, has any claims upon bin), we trust that they. Will b e rigidly enforced: and his future proceed ings be as rigidly observed.

This morning, at the opening of the Court, John Holmesby tVtl,.llllt to the Bar, charged with the wilful murder of Ann, his wife, on the 28th of September, in the Parish of St. John, Hack ney, by inflicting certain ,mortal wounds on her head and face with ran axe, whereof she died.— Tire prisoner, a well-dressed, respectable looking young man, pleaded Not Guilty: he conducted himself with great fortitude propriety, Mr. WALFORD opened tire proceedings.—Mr. ALLBY Stated the case in a brief speech. The first witness was Esther Story; she went into a'long detail of circumstances connected with th e unfortunate transoclion. It appeared the pri soner hod caught his wife in the act of adultery with a man named Lowrance ; that front this cir cumstance, on the same day, going home very violent quarrelling took place, which coded in fte prisoner striking his wife some blows with an axe, which caused her death, The testimony of this witness was confirmed by Thomas Soley, the h r ,oher of the decea , ,e,l, Richards, a constable, and other wit nesses.—Mr. B4iley considered the wound sufficient to cane death. All the witnessel were minutely cro ss -examined by Mr. CURWOOD and Mr. NoaToN for the pri soner. The prisoner, in his defence, cited at great lellgtb various acts of ill usage and infidelity on the part of his wife, protested to God she was his only tonifort, hut it was her irritating and violent language, together with the dish.mour he had re ceived, that occasioned the unhappy affair. Whilst delivering these oliservat ions, the pri soner exhibited \an uncommon degree of coolness and self-po , session. Several persons gave him a good character for humanity and mildness ot , tin peer. Al►•.

ALARM/NG FIRE.----Yesterday evening, a few minutes before six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in Ironmonger-row, near St. Luke's Church. The devouring element raged with such fury, that in' ltst than t wenty minutes the house it broke out in and the one adjoining were entirely con . - smiled. The engines at length arriving and a plen tiful supply of water being obtained, it was for tunately subdued befote any other damage was done. 'SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-Wednesday last a most dreadful accident happened on board the sloop dispatch, Captain BADCOCK, lying in the River Thames. The slate, a young man, about 24 years of age, while standing before the cabin fire attending some gruel, was seized with an apo plectic fit, and lie fell bead-foremost into the fire, from which, being in a state of insensi• bility, he could not extricate himself. The Cap. tain being on shore, and the men who were upon deck not hearing any noise, no one came to his assistance until an hour after the accident, when one of the men'having occasion to go into the cabin, found the unfortunate man on his knees and his head in the fire, litera , ly burnt to ashes. The body was taken on shore to be examined by a Coroner's Jury. RADICAL SHER.' vv. We mentioned on Wednesday last the extraor dinary conduct of Mr. Sheriff PARKINs. in at tempting to secure to hitwelf the Senior Sheriff's box at the Old Bailey. The following is a more particular account of this unexampled obtrusion, and shews, that if the Court of ALDeIiMEN and the RA:cot:Dew. do not rake some effectual mode of snpportiog the traditional usages of the City, it is likely, during the Shrievalty of a RADICAL, to be always exposed to disgraceful strogOes for precedency. But the evil may reach much higher, and wherever a BADIcAL is vested with pOwer, he may he expected to treat usage and auatority with contempt :--- " Mr. Sheriff PARKINS entered the Court at, nine o'clock yesterday morning, and took his,seat in the box of the svnior Sheriff (who was absent),• ,and which be has done more than once since he entered lipon office. On the arrival of the Judges at the usual time, a jell' minutes before ten o'clock, the Sheriffs were summoned, according to the customary ceremony, to attend them into Court. " Mr. Sheriff RoTHWELL, who insists upon his seniority, according to the opinion of the Court of Aldermen, took his station, we understand, in the pw4sage leading to the senior Sheriff's box, at the right hand of the Bench, and in the passage behind it, where he waitetlio usher in Mr. Baron_ wood.- • . . • " Mr. Sheriff PARKINS, who had to pass, out through this passage ro attend theJndres, on finding th.►► his colleague had taken his station there, took I►is place by his side near the dour lem;ing to the Bench, so that when Mr. Justice Park advanced front the JudQes' room to enter the Court, he found no Sheriff in waiting to receive hin► at his site, which %va t , the left door of the Bench. " 'Fire Learned Judge immediately demanded the reason w!,y he Was not attended by the Sheriff with hi, usual respect ? ‘, 4 Mi. Sheriff PARKINS replied, that his col league was at his wrong side, and should be %-ri(lt Mr. Justice Palk as his • attendant, for that he (Mr. l'i.rkins) was, as senior, at his proper side of the Court, where he was to attend Ow other " The RECORDER, who be this time came out of Court, denied Mr. Sheriff Parkins's assertion, and said that !Ir. Aidetman Rothwell was senior, " ;Mr. Justice PARK said he had nothing to do th, di•cussion of seniority,•but must be at tended in the tonal manner. Mr. Sheroff PARKINS then said, he would do himself. the ,honour tittencling the Learned Jktdge.w!)oni he immediately ushered It:to his place in Court, and then took bis departure from Court, apparently much chagrined. " Nlt Sheriff ItoTir et.t., after ushering in Air. Baron- Wood, took Lill seat .in the senior Sheriff's box." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. INFORMATION LAID BY THE SOLICITOR FOR THE 'I REA•qI ILY. MANSION House.—Yesterday Thomas Davison appeared a► the Justice Room, to answer an in formation laid against him by .the Solicitor for the Treasury, for having on the 3d day of August last, at the parish of St. John, Clef kenwelt, used a printing-press and types for printing, without having delivered any notice thereof to the Clerk of the Peace for the 'county of Middlesex, or his Deputy, or obtained a certificate, authorising hint to use the printing-press and types according to the statute. The °tee was much crowded, the subject On which the printitig•pre's was used having been connected with the Smithfield Meetiugs. This tlewo,)d apprmed at the back part of the Office, and neAr him stood two or three of the same gang. Air. WALFORD attended for the Treasury ; Mr. HARVIF It for the prisuuer. Mr. IVnit.rd sta!ed, that this information was founded "intro the 39th Georg,e 1111. cap. 79, rect. 23, wh i ch enacted, That front and after +he esipiration of forty days from :he day of the passing of the Act, at 4 person who used a ,pt int- Ing-press or types, wi!hotit having given notice to t h e Clerk or the Peace, received a certificate, and complied with other forms mentioned in the statute, should be subject to the penalty of 201. The Learned Counsel said, he was instruct, ed to charge the defendant with having violated the statute, by using a printing-press, without having coin plied with the provisions of the enactment. The Magistrates of the City of London were em powered to decide upon the law. Mr. Harmer,—ls Pritchard, the Informer, here ? The Informer answered. Mr. Walford a►lded, that the facts lay in el very small compass. T►vo officers, in passing, along Newgate-street, at two o'clock in the morn ing of the 3,1 of Aligust, observed two men post• ing tip bills, of which the tollowing is a copy : " GRATIS !—The Address passed at Smithfield, cf the Peo ple of England to the People of Ireland. may he had gratis of all booksellers in the. United Kingdom. E. .1. BLAND ,roan, See. " T. Davison, tp, Duke-street, Smithfield." These men were apprehended, and upon being asked who their employer was, said Mr. Davison was the person. 'lie defendant Vas sent for ; he readily admitted that the hills were his, and it was ascertained that he had no authority to use the press. The bills were prorated at the office of Mr. Mason, to whom the defendant was fore man ; but that the defendant having put his name to the bills, and paid those who did tl►e manual labour, was, by law, amenable and subject to the penalties. If he used the press of another for his own purposes, he was to all intents and purposes the printer. The following witnesses were called : Rees Barris, a constable of tb:e Ward of Far ringdon without.—As he was pausing down New gate-street, at two in the morning, of the 3d of August, he saw two persons sticking bills on the opposite side of the street. 'DI V bill produced by Mr. \Valford was one of them. ',Cheir names were John Loadsman and John Heat rn. Upon being taken to the watchhouse they :sent for Davison, who came and acknowledged It , the bills were his, declaring, at the same - time, that it was most men. Nir; Harmer—Did there Hppetir to be in the defendant's conduct any disposition to secrecy i Witness—Not the least. He said the bills were his, and that the officers bad no right to oetsin the men. John L‘nidsman, of 11, Little Grtry':, ilorked for Mr. Mason ; he a ., ,kfed in printing the band-bi:ls that were produ d at Mr. Mason's office, by the direction of Mr. Da• visor), who paid him for the printing. r - Cross-examined by Mr. Harmer--I 'am. Mr. M.son's servant, and I used Mr. Mason's press to print those hills. Mr. Wontner;! — the City Marshal, proved that Duke&street was iothe City. Mr. Watford--.That k my case. • Mr. Harmer•said the Learned Counsel had corn.. p:etely put himilelf - out of Court by calling the last witness, who had decidedly:uegatived the averment in the infOrmation. The information charged that defendant, with having used a print lug-press, Ste.-; but Loadstuan swore that he was the servant of Mr. Mason, the printer ; the press belonged to Mr. Mason, and that he (witness), as servant to Mr Mason; had nsed•the apparatus him-. self, and printed the bill. From the Learned Coon. set's own alto wing t the defendant was entitled to an acquittal. The object of the statute was to prevent the printers of seditious or other ;improper,state- Ments from doing mischief and avoidingg - responsibi • lity by secresy ; but in this case both name and address were visible, and the defendant upon being sent to, immediately avowed himself the .owner of the bills. The Act never contemplated that any agent who employed a printer to print such a pla card as that, and to put the agent's. name to it, should be compelled to follow the forms prescrib ed by the Act of Pailiatnent. Though such a person might appear as the printer of the placard, still the press and the materials Were not his, and he therefore could not be required. to make the entry alluded to. Walford said, the persons who had the manual occupation at the press were not respott bible, as Mr. Harmer insinuated. The party who sets those persons to work was the one of whom the law took cognizance. It it were otherw;se, the Statute would be a mere dead letter, for a man might go and use it with impunity for any purpose. Mr. HArmei contended, that if the Act extend ed to all who employed printers, as Loadsmao bad been employed, that and other Offices of Police would he employed from the Ist day of January to•the last day of December in hearing informa tions. 'The Lord Mayor said, that if Mr. Harmer's ar gument be good, no master printer would become responsible• Loadsman swore be was employed by Davison to print the placard, and that he print ed it tinder his authority. His Lordship them called Loadsman again, and I asked whether Mr. Mason had lent the press to him or to Davison. Loadsman--1 cannot conceive that be lent the press at all. _ _ _ The Lord Mayor—My view of the thing is, that Davison has [Hack. himself amenable, whether the press WAS lent to .him or no. Are you aware, witness that Mr. Masan did not lend the 'press ? Loadsman said he did not know. Mr. Mason was not present when witness printed the placard. The Lord Mayor—l cannot help considering that tile .defend;,nt h subject to the penalty. Mr. Harmer said, he had another objection to make against the conviction. The Act directed that the informotion should be laid within three months from the time of printing. No evidence had been brought to that feet, and the d e f e ndant was, he submitted, entitled to an acquittal, the only testimony yet produced having applied to the publication. The Lord Mayor called.Loadsman.—His Lord ship admitted such a,proceeding was irregular, but his object was to act in conformity with the sta• tute, and to decide by it. The Lord Mayor (to Loadsman).—When did you print these placards ? Loadnrnan.—Soon after the first Smithfield meeting. It might be a few days after. The m e etin v was on the 2lst of July. Mr. Harmer said, if it was tour days after, the j►trisdictiuu of his Lordzhip in this case was at an end The Lord Mayor (to the first' witness)—Were the bills wet when you took them ? Hari is.-1 believe so, but my brother officer can answer more positively. The other officer said, that to the best of his recollection, the placards were damp. The Lord Mayor—l see no cause to alter my opinion as far as regards the penalty. Davison, I convict you in the penalty of '2Ol. Mr. Harmer—What ! the toll penalty ? • The Lord Mayor—Oh, yes ; if the case were one of inadvertency it would be a different thing. No one would more willingly mitiote a penalty than I would, if the object of charge had erred from inadvertency. I have had instances of the kind befot'•e me, and moat readily I inflicted the lowest penalties, but the defendant has nothing of this kind to plead. Mr. Harmer—The Act has given your Lordship discretion front 51. to 201. The Lout Mayor—l convict in the penalty of 201. Air. Harmer—lt is no matter whether the full penalty is persisted in or not, for it canlieier be maintained. My, client will appeal to the next general Sessions. , The Clerk to the Solicitor for the Treasury said, there was another indictment against the defend• ant, which charged him with having printed and published a paper, without the name or place of abode of the printer attached to it. It was not, he said, his intention to try that information. Mr. Hatt - nee—We are under very little compli• merit to you for that ; for it would be in ditect opposition to the ground on- which you supported the lest, and you could not, of course, expect a conviction. Solicitor—Why, Mr. Harmer, nothing will please you. You neither wish to proceed nor to `withdraw. Law.—The proceedings before the Judges of the Court of ding's Bench, at Serjeant's•lnn Hall, yesterday, were wholly uninteresting to the public, being principally argUraents in detnutrer. ha d, e If e
