The trial of these men, nine in number, called " The Blanketteers," stands over until the next Assizes. The prisoners are at liberty to find good and sufficient bail. The sureties required are but two of 201. each (the individuals them selves in 401.) ; notwithstanding which, to prove the poverty of their friends and connexions, not an individual of the nine hsd been bailed as late as Thursday last. The following are the names and ages, with an exact copy of their commit- anent : " (Lancaster to wit.)--Thomas Leigh, 16; George Grim thaw, :23; William Standring, 43;• Matthew Lythgoc, 33; Peter Lever, 32; John Williams, 60 ; George 'Murray, 2 , 1 ; Samuel Blackshaw, 21 ; and William Wood, 61. Committed on the 19th and 23d of March 1817. " For that they, together with .divers other pet sons, to the number of .5.000 and upwards, did unlawfully combine and conspire together, to proceed in a body froutManchester to London, and to repair to his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, upon pretence of presenting and delivering a certain seditious libel, purporting to be a petition, complaint, and remonstrance; and that they did, in pursuance of the said conspiracy, on the 10th day of this instant March, unlaw fully assemble, with several thousands of other persons, at Manchester alivesaid, with intent to proceed together to London, in such excessive numbers, as greatly to disturb the peace of our Lord the King, and to cause teiror and intimi dation in his Majesty's well-disposed subjects." A person belonging to Nottingham, of the name of Henson, was apprehended on Friday last, in London, under a warrant from the SEca ETA It Y of - STATE, and, after an examination at the Home Office, committed to Cold Bath Fields Prison, upon suspicion of treasonable practices. This man has long been an object of dread to the well disposed inhabitants of Nottingham and its neigh bourhood, both on account of the leading influence he was thought to have with the Luddites, and his supposed political princirles. We are happy to add, that, according to the latest accounts from Nottingham► and Leicester, the late convic tions of the Luddites, and the energy of the mea sures adopted by Government, have led the inha bitants of the Midland Counties of the kingdom to look forward with coofidence to a state of greater quiet and sectirity.than they hare known for many years past. A Morning Paper saes—" A letter has been received from young Watson, who has arrived in America, together with a shoemaker, in whose apartments he was secreted in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's, at the time the Bow-street Officers and others sent in starch of him were pursuing phantoms. lie declares that he had no previous acquaintance with the person who afforded him an asylum." At a special Sessions held at the Dog and Par tridge iu Stockport, on Wednesday, it was agreed by the Magistratei to put in force the authorites vested in them for instituting the \Vatch and Ward Act in that town, and places adjacent. (Lancaster Paper.) Yesterday came on before the High Court of Justiciary the trial of William Edgar, accused of administering unlawful oaths. The diet against John Keith, the other panne' in the indictment, was deserted pro loco et tenzpore. A long and in genious pleading took place on the relevancy of the libel, which lasted from half-past ten till half past three o'clock. As there seemed to be some informations to be given'in.- - (Edinbu . r2;ll . CourOnt, Thwrsday.) During the last week, a continual succession of men front the army in France has arrived at the Invalid Deptit at Chatham, amounting to nearly 1500 men. There are at this time at the Invalid Depot, at Chatham, upwards of 2000 men of the above description. A Court of Aldernen will be Held to-morrow, to elect a proper person to fill the situation of ' Keeper of Newgate, in the room of Mr. NEW- Max, who has given its his resignation. There are eight Candidates for the situation. A large subscriptio'n has been entered into at Edinburgh, for the purpose at lighting that city with gas. On Saturday, Pearkes, one of the principal of ficers belonging to Bow-street Office, arrived, i n London from Chatham, with two men FV:,it a boy in his custody, who are charged on se.,pieion o f be ing part of the crew of stnuggl.;;eq w h o attac k e d t h e revenue cutter, commant!;:it 1.) - v Captain SAYER, and which was capture.;; on the - 19th of March, off Whitby, why;, three men on board the Revenue cutter r.:ere murdered and several wounded. In the, conflict, two of the smugglers were killed. The prisoners were committed. The very great satisfaction the Plan adopted in the last Lottery gave to persons residing its the Country, has induced T. Bssn to repeat it in the present.—The under-mentioned Tickets are re served for such persons as may order them ; and as the Numbers last advertised were approved by many Adventurers in London, it has been thought advisable, for the convenience of the Public, to have part at the East and part at the West . end of the Town.

THRATRE.—On' Saturday was repre sented at this Theatre, for the first time in this country, Moult-I°s Grand Opera of Don Giovanni, and in . a style highly creditable to the Mana gers •of ' that establishment. Although un known here as -a public spectacle, this work has in private long been a favourite study with till true musicians and amateurs of music. It is this circumstance which could alone enable us to give any distinct account of the performance ; .the beauties it comprises are so numerous, so various, and of so high an order, as to exceed, if present ed for the first time to the contemplation, the grasp of the most powerful mind. The following is the list of the Dramatis Per sona' : • Don Juan, a young Stianish Nobleman } F .; 12; A - 311tOr t 131111106 PST!. of licentious tuan.ters Don naAnna,betrothed to Don Octavio, Madame CAMPOR Est.

Betted by Dun Juan Leporello, Don Jual's Servant Signior NALOI. Zerlina, a Country Girl Masetto, her Lover The fable being well-known through the Don Juan of the Htish stage, we shall spare our Readers its repetition. The materials, rugged as they seem, were sin gularly calculated for the display of Alozawr's ge nius, which is strongly impressed on every part of the work. k fielere tound passion, sentiment., and, above all, supernatural agency. One of the admirable qualities of this Opera is the exactness with which the characters are preserved in the music. Here, strongly marked, we trace the eter nal, unrepresscd.gaiety of Don Juan; the archness, and half knavery, half-folly of Leporello ; the love of Elrira for her' betrayer, struggling with her resentment, her desire of revenge ; inconsolable grief. for her father's death, the predominant fea ture in the character of Donna Anna, for ever like a smothered flame, bursting forth ; the disinterest ed attachment of her lover Octavio, who ever yields to her wish, making his own happiness sub servient to .per's ; the artless simplicity of the peasant girl, Zerlida ; but still above all this, excellent and inimitable as it is, our astonishment is excited by the supernatural effects which accom pany the first speaking, and the introduction of the Statue in the supper scene—all here is ter rible, obscure, and undefined—ourblood absolutely runs cold. Never do we recollect any such im pression prodUced front a combination of musical sounds. It remains to do justice to those to whom the public are indebted for the production of this admi rable work, and to the performers who have assisted in its representation. This is incomparably the best musical perform ance we have evet wi tressed on the boards of this Theatre.—AMBROGCTTI, who sustained the prin cipal character, has the reputation all over the Continent of being the best Don Juan that ever appeared—he fully realized the expectations that have been formed of him—his song of " Fin ch 'hun del vino," remarkable for its spirit and gaiety, was encored.---NaLpt is so well known to the Public, that it may be said of him that he acted th9,p4re.oti.eporellu with his usual humour,. i titrativ a i h Madame CAMPORRSI gave, in the part of Donna Anna, all the effect intended by the Author. Miss HUGHES was completely successful in Eloira. This Lady is quite at home on the Italian stage. AN GRISANI, who sustained the parts of Don Pedro and of Moser°, is, as well as AMBROGETTI, one of the I) VO performers of the present season, se lected by the taste of the present Manager, and does infinite credit to the selection.' Ilia . .orce jg a clear bass, he sings well in tun:, anal is an ex cellent musician. The house Was crowded at an early hour in all its parts, and ine curtain fell amidst the unani mous ar[ e lninse which was to be expected from the and discernment of an English audience. COVENT•GARDEN..--MISS O'NEILL having sof ficiently recovered from her late illness to resume her theatrical exertions, eame.forward last Satur day in the part of Juliet.—She was received with that ardent enthusiasm of welcome which the Public is always prompt to bestow on a fa vourite so highly and so justly admired as site is. Mr. C. KBMBLE is the finest Rotaeo on the stage. The part of Alercatio appeared to have been stu died with peetiiar care by Mr. ABBOTT. He suc ceeded in cateling the spirit of the author, anti embodied it wilt the happiest effect throughout every scene.--Robinson Crusoe; or, The Bold Buc caneers, was tht Afterpiece, which, with the beau titui a nd picturesque scenery, the sweet untEic belonging to it, the graceful dancing of the Miss DENNETTS, and the lively bustle of the piece it self, went off with great eclat. The house was crowded in evrry part. '`TRA NORFOLK ADDRESS, 1s titian in Short-hand. We Norolk .Nlen together got, Llonituothly vote, 'e We're very end you were not shot, But crag you'll cut your throat." Mr. KEMBLEhRS, it is said, altered his inten tion of visiting Italy ; and after having taken his leave of the State at Covent-Garden Theatre, he will spend the iutumn at the seat of the Earl of ADERDERN. Mrs DICKONI is singing with great eclatat the Royal Italian Theatre in Paris. Miss ELIZA BRUNTON, the disughter of Mr. J. BRUNTON, the :Janne'. of the Lynn and other Theatres in t h ai dramatic circuit, is engaged by Mr. HARRIS upon liberal terms, for the next sea son at Covent.:Garden. Mr. INCLRDON took his farewell benefit at the Norwich Theatre, on Saturday night. The per formances were, A Cure for the Heart Ache, and the musical .fnrce of The Poor Sather. In the latter, in the character of Patrick, he introduced several of his favourite and admired songs. The new historical Play to be:produeed at Co vent-Garden Theatre, is composed by KELLY, by permiision of the Prury•Lane Committee.

PLYMOUTH DOCK, Saturday, April 12 —Ott Easter Monday, according to annual custom, the. lower order of holiday folks numerously assembled at Stoke fair, to enjoy the revels. In the even ing a dancing party of the town's people were interrupted by some Marines, who wished to introduce a fifer into the room ; a quarrel ensued in consequence, and the soldiers were turned out. Oo the following evening (Tuesday) a large party of the latter, to the number of 80, oh mined leave, and armed with sticks, staffs, and drawn bayonets, again proceeded to the fair, for the purpose of having a row : accordingly, about eight o'clock, they entered the dancing-room of the Pear Tree public-house, which they immediately cleared by bruising and knocking clown all who opposed them : they then departed, until between nine and ten o'clock, when they made a second and more determined attack on the people who had re-as sembled, by entering the room with drawn bay onets, and sweepirig all before them. We are sorry to state, that a young man, called Wm. Northey (in the Breakwater employ), interposing, lost his life, having bun stabbed through the head : his brother, John, had nearly shared the same fate having received a dreadful wound near the umbilicus, and many milers - received considerable tr. nerare by the door and t vi n d ows . , A piquet trout the Marine Barracks, and another from the Mb regiment, arrived about 10 o'clock (soon after the murder), and took most of the ringleaderis into custody. The n b l u e ,: : , i c g o h i t lin a d ri te r , t l y ti c ie oi n t l n u e s c t w ted,it said, with the tint on dati.:.l;os in the neighbourhood, particularly at the Church House Inn, near Stoke Church, which t h e y en tered with naked bayonets, and after des stroying the furniture, &e. broke nearly all the windows in the house. 'An examination of the offenders (10 in number) is expected to take place to-day at the Town Hall. An Inquest was held on the body of the person killed on Thursday, by 3os aro %Yuman), Esq. Coroner, and a respectable Jury. The Jury, after the strictest investigation, dur ing nine hoots, not being able to affix the murder to any individual person, returned a verdict of— " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown."

The Toy KaApy.—When any discovery is made in science, or an invention effected ,in mechanics, the authors of them are justly held lip to admira tion, and receive the thanks of their country.—ln nothing has this been more conspicuously appa rent than in the composition of the Scheme of the present Lottery, which exhibits a specimen of the " Toy Kat 244," on a subject ip which it might -rea- • sonably be doubted to exist.—What but the ut most ingenuity mild have devised a Scheme, in F which the odds of obtaining a Prize are 2 to I, in favour - of every arlYenturer which there are 10,098 izes, including Four of Twenty Thou sand Pounds, and only 4,502 Blanks ?—.ln the increased sale of Tickets and Shares, consequent upon the popular plan of the present Lottery, G.
