Miltonlai The recommendation of the orator was enthusias-
tically adopted by great numbers, who set the same
time, waved their hats.
Cries of " Stick together, my Lads !" " Protect
him, Protect him," were directed to the pet-I°4in the
pit, and the house was shortly after cleared ; the ora-
tor departing, attended by a strong detachment from
the Old Price Corps. At eleven o'clock the house
was completely cleared.
BOW-STREIT OFFICE.—The orator just mentioned was es-
corted out of the Theatre by above a hundred of his partisans,
who directed their course towards the Strand, bidding defiance
to the attempts of the Bow-street Officers to secure their leader.
However, a party of them "hovered around the enemy, and
marked the road be took ;" and the instant his friends left him,
opposite the Cecil Coffee-house, to steer his own course, he was
drought to and made legal pine by a very powerful convoy, and
towed before the Port-Admiral, against whom his lingo had been
directed but a few moments before. He steadily refused at first
tO give either his name or address, until he heard who his accusers
were, and nobody appearing immediately to prefer any charge
against hint, he insisted that the Magistrate had no right to de-
tain him in custody. Shortly, however, Mr. Brandon appeared,.
aceompinied by three witnesses, who identified the prisoner's
person, and swore most positively that they had heard him that
night, and the two preceding nights, addressing the people in the
pit in the most inflammatory language against the Managers of
the Theatre, and encouraging them to persevere in their opposi-
tion to the increase of prices. They quoted several expressions
he had made use of, and described the riotous effect his speeches
had upon the audience.
The prisoner did not deny that he had addressed the people in
the pit; but declared that he did not do so until the performances
were quite over, and even then he abstained from saying any
thing whatever to inflame their minds, and Merely expressed him-
self in the mildest manner upon a subject, and in a place where
he conceived the law justified hint he-thrhereek-• •
The Magistrate undeceived him as to his notions respecting his
legal right to address the audience in a public Theatre, and told
him, that of all other places in the world, it was the most unfit
for declamatory harangues, which were calculated to produce
nothing but discord, riot, and a violation of the public peace As
the gentleman seemed so pertinacious in concealing his name, the
Magistrate felt himself bound to order him into confinement, and
to refuse bail under such circumstances.
The prisoner said he was now willing to give an account of
himself, and repeated, that the motive of his not doing so before
was because he did not know who were his accusers. In com-
pliance with the request of the Magistrate, he then stated his
name to be Samuel Diujfiell ; that he was an assistant in the em-
ployment of Messrs. Kirk and Co. Chemists and Druggists,
No. fief, Bishopsgate-street, and that he lodged at Mr. Barber's
in Benhill-row. Upon this disclosure, there was a general laugh
throughout the office. His friends immediately deserted him,
and when the question was asked," Will any Gentleman bail this
man ?" all were silent, and he was ordered to find bail, himself
in 4001, and two sureties in 2001 each, in default whereof he
was committed to Tothill-fields Prison.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The pieces Announced for yesterday evening's en-
tertainment were The Road to Ruin, and the musical
farce of Peeping Ton.
The tumult was as great as on the preceding even-
ing, though the audience was not near so numerous.
—lle pit exhibited hardly one hundred spectators
until half price, when it immediately filled, and the
clamour commenced. In the progress of the play,
however, several pointed allusions to the actual state
of the Theatre were instantly applied by the audience:
among others, where Goldfinch asks Old Dornton what I
the world said of him ? the answer " Very strange
things ; it says you have fallen into the hands of Jews
and Swint/it/7 ;" was hailed with loud applause.-.
Again, when Goldfinch wishes to borrow money from
Sully, Sulky asks him " What security will you give
I me, Goldfinch,"—" I will give you .50 per cent in-
terest ;" the pit instantly exclaimed, " Aye, 6 per
cent. legal interest, without a Committee." In the
! third act, where the tradesmen are bringing in the
' bills to Toting Ihrnton, one of them enquires, " Shall
we let the old one look into our charge ?" The other
answers, " Oh, no, I do not like that ;" this was
also loudly applauded.—ln the scene where Smith,
representing to old Mr. Dornton the tottering state of
the house, and the impending destruction from the
danger of being obliged to stop payment, the latter
Ireplies" Pay the last farthing, and then shut up the
doors directly," the passage was instantly seized by
'.several, and turned against the Managers.
At the drawing up of the curtain, in the fourth
Act, the pit was about two-thirds filled, and the " row"
commenced. It was, however, moderate to what was
heard the preceding night. Some placards were
handed through the pit and boxes, but we could only
catch sight of the following
" Suppression of Imposition at the Public Office, Covent-Gar-
den, for the benefit of John Bull."
" A house to let, inquire at the stage-door of Covent-Garden
Theatre."
" Old Prices and no Jews."

" Then may we pipe for justice—Trrus ANDRONICUS:"

" Protect your private rights, if you die in defence of them "
The Play concluded amid uproar and confusion.
When the curtain fell, the pit alternately treated the
audience with a dance and a song, and occasionally
handed about the following placards, with great ac-
clamation :
" What has created this tumult but the pride of Kemble ?"
" When may we hope for Justice ?"
" Mr. KENIIILE, take my advice,
Restore Peace, at the Old Price."
" This House to Let—lnquire of Mr Noodle."
" Be unanimous, and you'll conquer."

Yesterday there was a Court of Aldermen at Guild-
hall, but, for want of a sufficient attendance of Mem.
bers, it was adjourned to Thursday.—The price of
Bread was yesterday ordered to be reduced an assize
and a half, or 3d. in the peck loaf,.to-morrow, when
the quartern loaf of wheaten is to be sold for Is. 4id.
and household at Is. 20.

" A New Sorg will shorly be published, composed by John
Kemble, called 4 John Bull, I can't eoduse you !"

The Members of the Lodges of Free Masons in
many country towns have determined to go in pro-
cession to church on the 25th instant. It is consi-
dered by them as a jest and respectful compliment to
his MAJESTY, although he is not a member of the
fraternity.
The following is the manner in which the Jubilee
is to be observed at Edinburgh :—The morning to be
ushered in by the ringing of the bells ; the Lord Pro-
vost, Magistrates, and Council, are to go in carriages
to the Assembly Rooms, Leith, to meet the Masonic
Procession, and proceed to lay the foundation of the
military works, which are to be denominated King
George the Third's Bastion." After the stone is laid, a
royal salute to be fired from the Dock, and his Ma-
jesty's ships in the Roads of Leith to return it. The
procession is then to return to the Assembly Room's.
At 12 o'clock at noon, the great guns in the Castle to
fire, and the music bells to be set a ringing, and con-
tinue till half-past one o'clock. The Volunteers to
be drawn up in a line in Prince's-street to fire a fen-
de.joye, and his Majesty's ships in the Roads also to
fire.—A two o'clock a Sermon, suitable to the occa-
sion, to be preached in all the churches, chapels, &c.
in the City—the collections at the doors to be applied
for the relief of prisoners for debt in the jails of Edin-
burgh and Canongate. At five o'clock a grand public
dinner in the Assembly Rooms, George-street. At
seven o'clock four military bands to assemble at the 1
Tron Church, and perambulate the principal streets,l
playing national airs till nine o'clock, when they are
all to meet at the Tron Church, and after accom-il
panying a vocal band in God save Great George punt
King, Rule Britannia, Hearts of Oak, &c. to be disc
missed by the Magistrates. At nine o'clock, a supeib
display of Fire-Works will be exhibited on the centre
of the Earthen Mound, which is to complete the Fes-
tival.—The Lord Provost and Magistrates are not to
issue orders for a General Illumination ; but it isLex--
pected that in the course of that evening the different
public buildings will be illuminated.

" Public Office, Covent-Garden Theatre, for the suppression of
Impoaition-2.5th day of Terns—Chief Magistrate, John Mull."

" New Prices; or, The Road to Ruin."

" Read, mark well, and inwardly digest his apostacy to the
cause of Public Justice."

" Let no threat tnirg Police intimidate you, your Cause is good."
There were innumerable other placards, but we
could read none that were a whit better than those
we have given.
Several pugilistic competitions took place in the pit,
but none of a serious nature ; except when attempts
were made to take into custody such persons as were
prominently cencpicuous in promoting thedisturbance.
The risible faculties of the audience were next at-
tracted by the exhibition of the head of a ,human
figure of a most hideous aspect; painted, or rather
daubed on an immense sheet of paper, across the nasal
promontory of which was represented a pair of spec-
tacles, formed of the two letters 0 and P linked to-
gether, each letter covering an eye. Peals of laughter
rent the air, which continued for several minutes.
An uncommon instance of spirit and resolution was
manifested by a youth, apparently no more than six-
teen years of age, who was seated nearly in the front
of the second circle. A placard which had been ex-
hibited in some adjoining boxes, was handed to
him for the purpose of his displaying it. He took
ix, and instantaneously tore it in pieces. The cry of
" Out ! Out !" was vociferated from great num.
hers around him, and from the pit. He kept his
ground, however, with great firmness, and although
assailed with threats and invectives, he continued to
applaud the performance without sliming the least
fear. It was nearly half an hour before he withdrew,
and then he seemed to do so more from a compliance
with the advice of some ladies near him than from
any apprehension of danger. This contest lasted from
the beginning to the end- of the first slct of the enter-
tainment. The displeasure of the Pittites was then
directed towards the ladies remaining in the box, who
