DRURY-LA NE THEATItE.---A new Comedy wan
produced on Saturday night, entitled Honour; or,
Arrivals from College. The plot is briefly as follows :
Edmund Villiers (Mr. H. KEHELE) is engaged to his
cousin, Emmeline (Mrs. WEST) with the approbation
of his uncle Colonel Villiers (Mr. Gar:rtz). . Flora, a
young Lady brought up by the Colonel, loves Edmund
at the same time ; but her passion not being returned,
she cherishes in its place the passion of revenge, sa-
crifices her virtue to Sir Jasper Jay (Mr. HARLEY),
a modern Dandy, and attempts to destroy the cha.
racter of Edmund, and break off his intended mar-.
riage with Emmeline, by representing to his uncle
that he was her seducer. The artifice takes partial
effect. Colonel Villiers forbids Edmund his house,
opposes the marriage, and favours the addresses of
Sir Jasper Jay to Emmeline. The parties are about
to be united, when Captain O'Callaghan, (Mr. JOHN
JOHNSTONE), having heard the dying confession of
the repentant Flora, relates the particulars to the Co-
' lonel, who makes amends to Edmund for the harsh-
ness with which he had treated him, and presents
him with the fair Emmeline as a compensation.— I
Such is the general outline. There are, of course,
many incidents in a five-act piece, which this brief
sketch does not comprehend. We should state, how- I
ever, that Sir Jasper Jay, the Dandy, fixes a direct
insult upon Edmund, the man of honour, who refuses
to fight him, on the score of morality, but subse-
-1 quently fights for him when he is attacked by rob.-
hers. Poor Edmund makes a sort of epigram to this
effect, which embraces almost the whole of the argu-
ment advanced throughout the Play against the prac-
tice of duelling—The principal amusement was de-
rived from Mr. HARLEY'S representation of the
Dandy—the idea was popular, and the pre-disposi-
tion of the public to laugh at this novel and effemi-
nate puppyism, afforded the performer a latitude of,
strict grimace and affectation, which under any other'
circumstances might have been deemed

ing Parliament for a reform in the Commons House
of Parliament. That the three prisoners mounted

they had demanded, 'recommended a National Con.'

not attended to,• to arm themselves against the ty-
rants, and use force to force. The indictment was

There- wlllibnly one challenge (Fowler) and that
was on the part of the Crown.
The case was opened by Mr. Pane, and the AT-
ToreNgT.GENrigAi followed in a long and luminous
speech, in which he stated the charges against the
prisoners. Seven witnesses were examined in behalf
of the prciecution.
William Bolton was the first witness called—Was
at Stockport the Ist of September last, and was pre-
sent at the meeting within a quarter before two
o'Clock, at Sandy Brow; three or four thousand were
there present; a large stage was erected, and saw
five or six persons thereon. Bagueley and Drum-
mond were on the stage; reduced to Writing what he
h4tcl a few days afterwards ; heard all of them ad-
dress the people. Harrison spoke in great contempt
of the Government, and ended with religious quota-
tions ; he was the Chairman. Bagueley addressed
them upon reform, blamed them for apathy, and
spoke in favour of Thomas Paine. All the shop-
keepers would be reformed from persons buying only
from Republicans ; recommended sending deputies
and delegates from all parts of the kingdom ; .. rise in
arms and repel forte by force, if you want a leader I
will lead you, and spend the last drop of my blood."
He reprobated the people for abusing *Bonaparte ;
passed encomiums on Bonaparte—would lay down
hii life in the cause. of liberty. Bagueley, at some
length spoke again, when Johnson arrived, and he
said the men at Derby were murdered; wished for
a sword in his hand to cut off the heads of all tyrants,
which he called Castlereagh, Sidmoutb, and Can-
ning i would shoot them whenever he had an oppor-
tunity, and if he did not do it hoped the women
would tear them limb from limb; advised the men
not to go to work again, and not to listen to the
masters of weavers and manufacturers, but burn the
looms. The weavers had turned out. Saw the three
at a meeting before, in or about April, at the same
' lace ; all the three then addressed.the crowd about

strangers; saw no arms; witness a stage-player, and
. keeper of a billiard table ; Mr. Lloyd, a clerk to the,
Magistrate; no one at that meeting durst contradict
the auditors ; witness was a special constable ; there
were near two hundred special constables ; on the
second day after the meeting, was examined by the
Grand Jury at Chester, with respect to what he had
heard:
John Lloyd, of Manchester, a special constable,
swern,—Wai at the Blanket Meeting in Manchester,
in March, knew,the prisoners since the 3d of March,
1818, who were upon the stage there at a large
meeting, addressing the people. Bagueley advised
the blanketeers to go to London to obtain their rights;
there had been a preceding meeting near St. Peter's
Church, many thousand persons present; did not see
Johnson there, but saw the Other two—asserted it was
of no use to petition Parliament about reform, other
means must be adopted. Many meetings held after-
wards between the 3d and 10th of the month. John-
son said on the sd, in the evening, they would meet.
with friends on the road, before they reached Bir-
mingham ' • lit had. do doubt they would be strong ;
agreed at that meeting for that at St. Peter's Church
with blankets; he took minutes after the Meeting....,
Bagueley and Drummond taken up on the 10th—saw
Johnson also in custody ; :• meeting held on the 9th
of March, 1817 ; other meetings were held in the
country ; saw Bagueley and Johnson at many cf
them ; the meetings were seditious ; Johnson at one
of them. advised the people not to pay any taxes, and
to rise in a body against persons who might come
for taxes. Witness produced the minutes of the
meeting at Sandy Brow, Stockport, Sept. 1, 1818.
Bagueley said he was weary of the meetings for Re-
form in Parliament; we must recover our liberty;
towns and villages should choose delegates, draw up
a petition, and arm therncelves; if refused they must
proceed sword In hand; recommended a large house
to be taken in Lnn'lnn, and called the National Con-
vention; .advised al ens; and the whole country to
join, and meet at seven o'clock in the morning—
they three would stick by the people to recover
their tights—advised the .people to give up work-
ing, and then the Guvernment could not be sup-
ported. His friend, Mr. Drummond, would speak.
Mr. Di ummond said, " Arm yourselves, and be una-
nimous. *Behave with civility and decorum. Nothing
but sword ila hand will do. Liberty or Death !'=
