WILLIAMS. Mr. Read afterwards attendee him in prison, and took his narrative, wherein ' be fully explained his business at IVo.-elford, and gave a very particular account as to where he was on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and on the rights of those days; which was confirmed by the persons at whose house he slept, and several others whose company he had been in. The man also cknow. !edged his error, in st:it.in it to he Sunday imzead of Monday he was in company with the pi isena. Mrs. ll:Stephens was seen in her shop on Saturday ni6,ht, about ten o'clock ; about eleven, a female, who occnies the adjoining house, and who is confined to licr b:d by the rheumatic gout, heard Mrs. Stephens's ' .'door bang too with very gleat violence, and immediately some footsteps run away very last, and there is 'no doubt hut that was the murderer. Mrs. S. from  the position she was found i. , is supposed to have • been in the act of casting up her accounts, as a (pan' city of halfpence was found lying by a slate, but neither notes or silver, which the assassin is supposed tQ have taken away, though no• other part of thu house was plundered. In a drawer on the first floor, -notes to the amount of 432 were discovered.  . • The paragraph that has appeared in the papers, stating that the Medical attendants on Nich9lscn, the murderer, had assured the Magistrates of his recovery, •ibuts been contradicted by authority—nn thi contrary his recovery is censidered very dolibtful.  Datmrzifmt TIMOR&  • A new Play, called Lose no Time, was. brought out fer the first time at this Theatre last night. The plot, if a confused jumble of hacknie4 incidents deserves that title, consists in the attempts of two Officers of Hussars to outwit each other in their views upon a young Lady, with whom they are both violently enamoured, according to the modern acceptance of the word ; that is, they are passionately attached to her fortune, which amoants, we think, to £BO,OOO, They are assisted in this plan by a servant, whose moral pliability is at least equal to that of his employers. He accepts money from both ; but is at last inclined in favour of the•more sentimental suitor. If the Author, in his specimen, has given a faithful description of our Officers, we must only say, that their notions of honour are very loose ; but the picture, it is to be hoped, exists chiefly in the imagination of the Author. A female writer of novels, over, flowing. with love, sentiment, and years; a stupid beau; a ridiculous old man; and a predestinarian, in the character of the father of the heroine, compose, with the two soldiers and the intriguing valet, the chief personages of the Piece. It was received with some applause, and was announced for a second repreentation on Monday next, with partial and ineffectual signs of dis.:pprobation. The production is ascribed to the pen of Mr. Staxeisurov.  GUEST ONIAN To Mr. B. GUEST, No. 9, Great Surrey-s:rect, foot of Blackfriar's-brid-e.  Maid-lane, Borough, S‘ ;"Lwalk, March 8, 1815. DEAR SlR—When I cfmtemplate on the wanderful cure which your Medicines have performed un me, I feel myself desirous of having it made public as possible. in.the year Inott I broke my hg two different times in the same week, and it was so h.:dly tas to oblige me to walk with my knee on a wooden kg for six years, the firrt three of which 1 tried several of the most eminent :-:.orgeons in I.4..tidon' the last of whom was Mr. Ashlcy Cooper, until he pron.unccd me incurable, wh:ch was in the year I 8r.9. I then begged of him to cut oil my kg; in answer to which he observed, that an:potation would be the death of me, therefore be declined thi. operation. In the year isq, you: having cured my brother of a most distress;ug head-aaie, be nem-amended rrl to you: I anon ied on my wooden log, when my kg measured one inch and thecs: quarters less than the other—it was cold as ice., and had b:•en so for the last five years. Notwithstand ng this, I had no ust for my wooden leg on the Fecund day. The sixth day I firaVy left off my crutches, being capable of walking with a stick. In about three months I was compleatly cited, and have continued ever since as well and as upright as ever I was Cut what seems to
