THE LATE :111171?bERS:

Yesterday Mr. (s..Aeesit, 'a ,Magistrate of Shad-
well Otlice, attended on Mr.Vermilloe (not Vertnil•
lion, as beforeitated), in Newgate. IVIr. Alderman
Woon, and Adkins, ,waited on the Magistrates in
the morning, and stated information Which was of
great importance. •
The ripping ehisgel whict) was found in William-
son's house ,tea conveyed to Newgate, in order to
be indentined by Mr: yermilloe. . Tht:, conference
Was privates and continued until four o'clock in the'
evening. Mr. Verwilloe gave testimony to the in-
strument, called a ripping-hook, being among the
chest of tools deposited in his house, - This tipping-
hook, about two feet in length, was found.by.the
side of Mrs. Williamson, and it is the same instru-
ment which Mr. V. has deposed that he
,knew per-
fectly. well. Mr. V. has likewise given informa--
tion of another man, whom he .conceives must be
concerned in the late inhuman murders.

The Magistrate immediately forwarded-directions
to the different officers logo in pursuit, and hue last
night every exertion was ust,d to find out the ratan
alluded to. As far as can be learnfqi, there were
only two men concerned in both of the atrocious
murders.

Williamspravious to the murders, had largo red,
whiskers' !which seem to have been cut off very re-
cently befbre his apprehension, and his hair is cut in
a different manner to what it was before : he is•

liberated from the debtors' side of Newgate this
day, and will be further examined to-morroN.

Nothing can be more unjust than to accuse the
advocates for a third Theatte of hostility towards
Covent-Girden Theatre, or towards that now rain-
ing in Drury. Lane, and which we sincerely ,hope
will be completed in due time for the gratification
of the public. Jr may bet (aitly presumed, that if
the population of, this country .bad been much leSs
than it was whrin the Patents tor' the Iwo Theatres
were grimed, but one would hate• been allowed ;
and therefore it may be properly nrged, that as the
population has so enormously increased since (tilt
period, there is every reasonable ground for the hope
that a third Theatie,. at least, will receive the sane-
lion of Government.

THEATRICAL ArtracnoTa.—Some years ago all
aaress, on the York stage, who was accustomed to
indulge her Self with a cheerftil glass, when she had
taken ton much, and sespd6ted that she should be
unable to discharge her duty on the stage., always
attempted to disguise her situation by pretending to
swoon... On one of these occasions, she was about
to resort to her old trick, and tried! to catch the
cloak of an attor, , who Concealed beneath it a su-
perb belt, with which he intended soddenly to gut-.
'Prize the audience. The actror saw her design, but,
starting 011-; exclaimed, " if you taint, you fall, for
by G— 1 Must flask my belt."

AS*(I.IiIAN.S,

• Your unnutunate lot will still remain the same,
while the policy of those who possess the civil and
,military authority over you 'continues unchanged.
Hold in view va.hat has passed in other pi-ovinces,
and. 'especially in to prevent invasion ; or
if that should be etleeted,' to repel the enemy, and
annihilate them in every point..
If your Government, it of having shame-
fully disarmed the people, and thus extinguishing
a great measure the, Asturian -enthusiast», and
Aim on it in a manner contrary to the system of
nature, bad provided them with arms and arrittalni-
lion, training and exercising on holidays, and at all
omvenient limes, the robust limbs and hodirs-,with
which this country abounds, the eireCt would have
been, that the division of 'hetWeen.seVen and eight
thou-and men, commanded by Senor Lutatia, which
cotild.-nuf"Prevent the entrance into Asturias of an
equal force wide! General Bonnet, would have had
a body of reserve Of „15 or 20,000 men, capable
alone of putting an end for ever to Bonnet and,his
invasions. . This reserve has been wanting, because
it has not been provided fur in time, and nothing
now 'remains but regret and lamentation. Unhap-
py country ! which, the euenw tramples tinder foot
and ravages whenever he pleases, notwithstanding
it's being one entire fortress, in the opiniott.of Buo7
naparte.

irecause a division of 15 or 200000 French hag
not petietratvd into Gallicia, does it follow that
in column it could not do it ? The troops which
defend the enirtme6s •, of this kingdom would
do dirk duty, but still, -in the present stale they
could ni,t prevent it ; in the Asturi.it there were,
only 20,000 men skilleo.lq th.:llse, of. the musket,
neither Bennet, nor any other General, would dare
to invade, much less invade this moan airtons giound,
without a utsmeruni arnq, since, in every.valleys
hill, and would meet Combatan-t's,' and:
even death.

Without. further :fatiguing myself, beloved As.
turians, in kmonstrating this truth, it only remains
to recommend, that some of you will .paint out
upon whit ground your juntas awl militory chieta
support their opiniow of not organizing volunteers.
Astorians,,, do not be discouraged, your superior
junta pos,esses, wisdom, and prudence, it will listen
to your (trim,* a levy of wat like.men, you
will not then be obliged to carry on a petty wailare
against the French, who know the b iciness Of their
cause; and if, contrary to your wishes and mine,
yon shoold not be, attended to, or difficulties are
thrOwn in, the way, direr, your complaint to ,the
National Cougress.
