OLD BAILEY.

Jos. Smith' was on Friday indicted for killing and slaying Ann,
his wife.

Mr. Gurney in an opening speech detailed the following facts to
the Jury. The prisoner and his w•i'c were in humble lire and much
addicted to drinking. On the evening of the Bth of June, the
daughter of the dt-ceased was alarmed by the quarrels of her parents,
and on going in►o the apartment, .S!T found the deceased in a bad
state and much bruised, and she died the next morning. On the
examination of Mr. Metes, the surgeon, who examined the body h^
explained the nature of the bruises, he found the membrane of the
brain much inflamed, but such as had no connection with the external
marks of violence, and death Was occasioned by excessive drinking.
Here Mr. Gurney declined going further into the case, and by the
direction of the Judge, the Jury acquitted the prisoner.
Charles Smith, alias Chapman. was capitally convicted for re-
turning from transportation before the expiration of the term 0
14 years, for which he was ordered to be transported, at May it

GRAND CITY FESTIVAL TO THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON.

Ilis Grace the Duke of Wellington yesterday dined with
the Corporation of London in Guildhall, and was met there
by several distinguished characters, atitong whom were the
Royal Dukes, several of the Foreign Princes, and many
Naval and Military officers of distinctiojt: The preparations
for this splendid festival were as magoificetit as those dis•
played at the late entertainment given to the Allied Sove-
reigns, the Hall being in fact, with a very pule va.riation, 'fit-
ted up precisely in the same manner. The .galterlis, how-
ever, on this occasion were not confined for ladies alone,
but were also open to gentlemen. There were two band; of
music, which played at intervals throughout the evening ;and
several of the most celebrated glee-singers added to the
harmony of the festival. The Viands were commensurate
with the well known taste of the Citizens, and were abundant
and excellent. Among other articles of old British fare
which was prepared for the gratification of the company,
was a Baron of roast-beef, and a mag of more than ordina-
ry dimensions, containing three and twenty gallons of
brown stout. The usual toasts were given during the feast.
and the utmost Conviviality and good harmony prevailed
till a late hour.

We have witnessed with disgust the custom that has begun
to prevail in this country bf piaearding our wal:s and houses
with letters and inscriptions upon political questions, and
which, we think, the -leis 4in be permitted, as here every
loan is allowed to speak his mind freely, and the Govern•
ment exercises no other jurisdiction than what may be ne-
cessary to secure the peace and preserve the order of the
laws. What these nightly libellers want we cannot devise?
The Papers in opposition are Surely vigilant enough in the
trade of leuxd'esprit and open condonnation. If we have
our fleets in Ilyde Park, they have their arsenals in the
Strand and Printing House-square,; they abound in rtporis
as we in rockets—and we fear their faire works are more dam..
gerous than those preparing in either of the three Parks.
They ask constantly, what moral good all this preparation
can produce ; 'and- we, in return, ask where is the moral
evil? We require some amusernent to qualify our past suf.

OWE'S P ITENT SHIRTING CLOTH.

The oily Manotacture in Great Britain in which the advantages of
Et glish F.4K and Cotton are united in one Thread.
Established in 1808.

Its peculiar texture frees it from the injurious cold or chill expe-
rimicet. in t .e wear of Irish or other Linens, and the unpleasant
sensation peculiar to Fabrics made wholly of Cotton.
For durability, beautiful appearance, comfort in wear, and great
economy, this Manufacture (after five years trial) stands unrivalled.
Sold at about half the prima Irish or other fine Linens, at the
Patentee's Warehouse, 154, Cheapside, near St. Paul's, and Hard-
ing and Co. 89, Pall-mall.
This Manufacture, after seven years extensive sale, having
acquit ed such distingnished patronage and approbation as to induce
some Shopkeepers to offer articles under various new titles of Impe-
rial Patent Shirting, Twine Cloth, &c. all of which are made en-
tirely of Cotton, and the properties of Cotton Fabrics being so ge-
nerally and well known, requires co comment.

Mr. BARING, Mr. FINLEY, and Mr. PHILLIPS, urged the neces-
sity of repealing the duty complained of, as otherviise the mann.
faetnrers of Manchester could not support a competition with those
of foreign countries, when in addition to so high a duty on the raw
material, living was twice as dear as on the continent, and taxes of
all kinds infinitcly lib her.

to the office in the custody of William Dean, the constable
belouging to the parish ofSt. George, Hanover-squ,ire, charged with
shooting Elizabeth Micher with a loaded pistol, with ln intent to
murder her. It appeared that Elizabeth Pi!cher is house-maid to
Mr. Cartwright, who resides in Lower Grosvenor street, and is
about twenty yvars of age. On Monday night, about a quarter past
ten o'clock, the footmen of Mr. Cartwright answered a knock at the
door, when the prisoner presented himself, and asked if Elizabeth
was at house ? lle replied she was, and called her up stairs ;
went on the ont,ide ot the street door vvith the prisoner, ;militia the
dour clos. after her, but not fastening it. In about two minutes
alter the footman heard the discharge of a pistol, and a femalg
seredming v-ry howl ; he went to the door with all possible speed,
when he found Elizabeth Pilcher and the prisoner behind her ; he
cl:d not then perceive any discharge of blood, but observed her gown
rag on the right side, and very black, oeca‘ioned by gunpowder;
he supported her in Iti:; arms. He observed something in the

While strangers were excluded, the Speaker read tl►e following
letter :

" The Princess of iVales desires Mr. Speaker will acqnaint the
House of Commons, that she has received from Viscount Castle.
reaeh, the copy of a resolution voted yesterday in a committee of
the whole house. enabling his Majesty to grant out of the Consolida-
ted Fund of Great Britain, the animal sum of 50,0001. for her main.
tenance: and the Princess of Wales desires Mr. Speaker will expiess
to the House of Commons, her sincere thanks for this extraordinary
and unsoliei fed mark of its muniticotce.
" The Princess of 'Wales, at the siime time, desires Mr. Speaker
will inform the house of her deep regret, that the burthens of
:he people should be at all increased, on account of the circum-
stances in which she has been placed ; and that she cannot consent
to any addition to those burthens beyond what her actual situation
may appear to require. That she therefore hopes the house will
reconsider its resolution, for the pin pose of limiting the income
propo,ed to be settled upon the Princess of Wales to the annual
'lion of 35.00:d which will be quite srdlicient, and will be excepted
with the liveliest gratitude, as an unequivocal proof that the Prin.
ces: of Wale: h s secured the good opinion awl protection of the

afterwards saw the wound, which was under the right breast'
and bled profusely. Mr. Cartwright was the first who seized the
prisoner, :and took a pistol fioni him, the barrel of which was
shivered to pieces; the lock of the pistol could not be found. The
prisoner being secured, was conveyed to St- George's Watch-house,
where Sir John Hippesley, who is a Magistrate for the County of
Middlesex, attended, he happening to arrive on the spot immediately
niter the timid deed had been perpetrated. The worthy Baronet
there interrogated the prisoner, who confessed that he had shot
Elizabeth Pitcher ; that he had been iu her company on the after-
noon previous, and that he was instigated to the commission of the
crime in consequence of her refusing to comply with his desires.
He was asked to explain what those desires 'were, but he refused hi
answer. He and the girl's father where in the excise together, and
when Mr. Pitcher was on his death-bed, he had made the prisone.
promise to take care of his family, which produced an intimacy
between him and the family, iu consequence of which he formed an
attachment to Elizabeth Pitcher. which she resisted.—The prisoner
is a married man between 4i and 50, and it appears took some
arsenic immediately .after slioAing the unfortunate girl, but the
quantity was so small that it only made him siek. He was commit
ted for further examination The girl still survives.

just and signal retribution.

All that now follows, follows as a matter of course. The
object was to change the current of public opinion, to excite
inditTerence. The sycophants of a Court knew the first
movements of the people to be on the side of virtue. So long
as the Princess was abandoned, the People steadily adhered to
her) her privations were so many claims upon their gene-
rosity and support. They followed her with eager and af-
fectionate solicitude to the retirement which circumstances
had imposed upon her, and the Princess triumphed over the
obstacles of legal doubt and domestic insinuation ! The case
is now altered. She has accepted the recommendation of
those who would destroy her, and has become a party to the
detestable notions of parasites and panders on the one hand,
and corruption on the other. All this signifies little if the
example held out was not likely to affect the manners of the
people. There is, indeed, too great a laxity in the discipline
of the virtues already, and we only required some melan-
choly " falling off" like the present, to witness the corrup-
tion of that national character which for ages has withstood
the storms of factious and arbitrary power, to become the
victim of Bed• Chamber Lords and intriguing Chamber-
Women.

Richard Lock,•who had been cotwicted stealing a watch from
the home of Edward Green, of Middleton, when called on for his
defence, addressed his Lordship (Baron Wood) nearly as follows :
—" It is usual for persons placed in *similar circumstances with
myself towdeavour to extenuate their offences ; to that I shall not
presume.. I' have forfeited. my life, whiCh !net been a continua-
• lion of captivity and misery. The only thing of which I have had'
any thought or cousideration for the last six mouths has been death.
I am weary of -life, yand hope for a better. in another world ; anti I
request that your Lordship will pass sentence-upon me, and that it

PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE.

11 We understand the Preliminaries of Peace are in sub.
stance agreed upon. France is to be reduced to her antient
boundaries, those of 1789.—8ut the Allies insist on certain
fortresses in Old'France being given up to them as securities
till a definitive treaty of peace.—These arc Strasburg, Metz,
Valenciennes, Lisle, Bayonne, and Perpignan.—Upon the
question of the surrender of these fortresses alone, if not en-
tirely, we understand, the signature of the Preliminaries
stands over: —lt is said that Buonaparte is willing to surren-
der some of them ; the Allies, of course, to retire to the hon.
tiers of Old France."— (Courier of last night.)

MILITARY OPERATIONS IN FRANCE —LONDON GA.
ZEWE.—DISAbTERS AT BERUEN-OP-ZOOM.

The military prospect in France has undergone a variety
of changes during the course of the last week; and, to our
great mortification, we are unable to trace so satisfactory a
sketch of the situation of the armies as we have been in the
habit of doing, owing to the unaccountable discrepancy in
the accounts published in The Lando?? Garetie, whose autho-
rity the public has been so long accustomed to look as a
guide, at least in the most impGrtant occurrences. in the
early part of the week, The Hague .Vatc:; Courant, which it
seems is now the Dutch official Gazette, a title of no great re-
commendation in our opinion, was receivPd in town contain•
ing a letter from the Pt ince of Sake Weimar to the :-40ve-
reign Prince of the Netherlands, transmitting a hasty bul-
letiu from Blucher, from which it appeared that the gallant
veteran had obtained on the gth at Lam', a complete victory
over Buonaparte, with all the circumstances usually accom-

GIZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

The Gazette of last night contains farther dispatches from
Colonel Lowe, dated Laon, March 11, stating the loss of
the enemy in the previous engagements at 48 pieces of can•
non and 6000 prisonners. Buonaparte was then retiring
towards Soissons, where it was considered as possible he
might make a stand, although, in a former Gazette, that
town was represented as having been taken by storm by the
allies.

The Gazette contains also dispatches from Lieutenant.
Colonel Cooke, who, IL seems, is also one of Government's
intelligent col respondents, arid attached as such to General
Winzingerode's army. Ills communications go down to the
morning of the 12th, and are dated from Laon ; at which
period lie states that the enemy was in full retreat, and that
the Cossacks, who pressed hard upon him, had already
brought. in a considerable number of prisoners, and a great
quantity of b;lggage, among which was that of General Le-
fevre Desnouettes.

It was strongly reported in the city yesterday morning,
that an action had been fought upon the Lakes between

give crodit to the report, though no official intelligence or
confirmation of it has yet been received.

Ali!ford, Thur.:day, SETE. 3.

We have just been informed, that a►► action took place
between the sloop Avon and the American sloop of «ar
Wasp, of 20 guns, near Kinsale, when, after two hours
and 9.0 minutes desperate lighting, the Castillian sloop
of war hove in sight. The Wasp endeavoured to wake
off, but the Castillian got up and poured in her broadside,
and immediately discovered a signal of distress from the
Avon, and had scarcely time to take out her crew before
she sunk. Her loss is her First Lieutenant killed, the
Captain and several Officers wounded. It is supposed the
\V a, p also sunk, for after the broadside from the Castilian
she was observed water-logged, and was not afterwards
seen.

P. S. The action took place between Cape Clear and
Kinsale, on Sunday night last. The Captain of the Avon
and the Second Lieutenant, wounded severely.
Names of the superior Officers on board the Avon :

Allen, Master.

The following are further particulars :
