The AsroR PLACE RIoT.-We understand that
the secret investigation into the particulars OF the
late riot and at the Aston Place Theatre,
which has been going on for some time before
Judge Edmonds, has terminated. vast bedy of
evidence, on both sides of the question, has been
collected some Of it Of very interesting and Gu
rious nature What the Judge intends to do with
the facts he has collected, we do not knew. A Gu
rous portion of this evidence will be found under
the proper head, in another part o this paper, dis
closing of the proceedings on the part of those
who got Mr.. Macready to play second time. AS
the whole affair is now before the Grand Jury, we
suppose that body will invite Judge Edmonds, with
all his information, before them, when they will act
accordingly.
