WILLIAM CoBBETT —II is stated in a Morning
paper, that this Disturber of Mankind .is ex-
pected to reach England in a few days, as his fa,
.1161 Y had received inforntation that be had em-
balked for that purpose. 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
ilriPri4oninent. 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 be rigidly enforced: and his future proceed-
ings be as rigidly observed.

OLD BAILEY.

11URDER.

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
the 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 hr,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 cross-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.

and Ihe Jury returned a VA-dict nt
