COVENT-GAUDEN TURATRL.—The Kolgla of Semdoe* was performed last night, and went off soh eclat. It was succeeded by the new Pantomime of the Go/. dos ash. The Elephant does not improve with familiarity to the scene. On his first nitre he only chewed, his head at the upper end of the stage, and inst aptly withdrew. The gods waxed wroth, and the Panto. mime was interrupted. The Elephant appeared again ; but mistaking the plaudits, no doubt, low dis. approbation, he retired again with "piration. The Pantomime proceeded notwi ing, and received great applause. • A Gentleman who has just arrived from the Ann! ries, informs us, that General Borman has evacuated Gijon, Lances, Aviles, El Franca, Codillero, etc. kc. taking the road to Santander, and united the whole. of his forces in Pola de Siam, in apprehension ot an attack from Poetize, who was moving in force on his flank. About twenty days heforei depot. tore, Bonurrr issued a proclamation, ordering the inhabitants, who had fled upon his approach, to return-to their homes, upon pain of their property being confiscated. His troops were not suffered to pillagco but he issued another proclamation, calling upon the inhabitants for contributions in Indian corn, wheat, and money, which, upun collecting, he immediately d'spatched by the road of Leon to the army of Dna. SWINK i from which circumstance it is concluded that he is on the eve of qititting the whole principality, as upon his former visit to that province he establLbed magazines and depots from the &Serest coottibudoos raised for the support of his troops, simich upon this occasion he ha totally neglected. leraastorr or Joey Wiwasts.—Yesterday the final arrangements were made by the Magistrates at Shadwell Police.Olfweb for dr ' t ot inf miserable wretch to the asszA his Amor oats crimes so justly merited. Mr. rraa the Miiglstrato waited on the Secretary for the Home Dement on Saturday, for the purpose of considering with, what justice the usual practice of burying etalpri!s of a similar description, in the crols-roads nearest to the spot where the offence of suicide is cominitt-J, might be departed from in this extraordinary instance of self-murder.  Last night, at 11 o'clock, the body of Williams, was removed in a cart from the house of Correction, in Cold-bath-fields, to St. George's watch. house, Shadwell. After remaining them all night, it was this morning raised on a platform in the same cart, so as to be visible to the spectators; and thence the cart moved slowly along Ratcliffe-Highway, till it arrived opposite the premises of the late Mr. Marr. There it stood for some time. From Rateliff-highway, it was taken down Old Gravel-lane, along the London Dock bank, till it an. rived at the end of New Gravel-lane ; which it as. tended until it came opposite to the house of the late Mr. Williamson, when a similar pause WAS made as opposite Mr. Mars's door. Thence it *as conveyed to an adjoining cross-road, and there interred six feet below the surface of the ground, and a stake driven through the body. During this procession, the body of the deceased was completely exposed to public view. It was dressed in a shirt and a pair of loose trowsers only. The maul and ripping•chsssel were placed beside it an the cart; and when the procession reached the hole which was dug for the body, it was dragged by the execuWiner Irons the cart, and tumbled an without further ceremony. An immense croud of spectators attended, and tne whole ceremony was over soon after eleven o'clock. . It is a circumstance not generally known, thst the esnlOrturatt Mrs. Williamson who was recently mir. dered, w ss the person who gave information to God; the officer of Union Hall, of the residence of a men named Kelly, who was strongly suspected of being the man %sin of a woman who was found murdered on the Ikptfued•road about two years since.
