From the preparatiow. making, there appeared to be every intention of taining Walcheren ; the French and Dutch ordnance were dismounting, and English pieces planting in their stead. The sickness among our troops, we are sin cerely happy to learn, was decreasing ; though 300 C sick were embarked, on Wednesday and Thursday last, to be sent home.

NEW COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Saturday evening, the Comedy of The Poor Gentle - man. announced for the night's entertainment, wac performed at this Theatre, before a very munerouc and respectable audience. So long as the goddess of harmony held her reign, which was nearly to the end of the third act, the piece went off with the greatest eclat, and the satisfaction of the audience was loudly and frequently expressed. • In the part of Sir Robert Bramble, Mr. MUNDEN evinced his usual inimitable 'ability, and met with that approbation he so eminently deserved. On the appearance of Mr. YOUNG as Frederick, he was greei ' ed by a general burst of applause, that was frequent ly repeated through the part, which he sustained with his wonted excellence. The manly and feeling deli• neation of the character of Lieutenant Worthington, by Mr. MURRAY, gave us peculiar pleasure ; and the part of 011apod, by Mr. FaweETT, and Stephen Harrowby, by Mr. EMERY, were supported with the usual merits of these performers ; as were the characters of Miss Lucretia Mac Tab, by Mrs. DAVENPORT, and Miss Weethington, by Mrs. Gums. At the commencement of the fourth Act, vs usual, uproar was the order of the night. Boxing-matches took place in the pit and boxes, to the annoyance of those disposed to be silent ; bat the public voice in the pit was more decisive than we have before wit-, nessed. The seats near the orchestra were occupied by the Manager's friends, but they were of respectaH ble order, and not such ruffians as disgraced the TheH atre at the commencement of the week, with the ex ception of one Braham, a Jew, who, however, was turned out. Amongst the placards, the exhibitions of which caused most of the boxing-matches, were the following :--- " Bail for hissing in a Theatre—self In £5OO, and sureties in LlOO 1 New Code, of British i.tiw." " No Bagnios in a British Theatre—confine them to the Italian Opera." _ _ _ " No dramatic talent ought to he remunerated at above £lO per week." " Zeal in a ju.t cause, merits applause." " Every night's public voice raises Kemble 's shame, and Briton's praise." " Britons never quit the field, " Until your foe is forced to yield !" " The Patriot's motto—CONQUElt or DIE! " " Kemble must stoop to conquer !" " No Israelites !—No 'l" hief-takers !" And from the Box Pigeon-holes, " This pile, inscribed to Shakeptare and the nation, " Demands from all a liberal approbation !" This last, as might be expected, was much hooted, and instantly torn to atoms. Not a word of the Farce, the Flitch of Bacon, could he heard, and the audience waited half an hour after its conclusion. Mr. Kemble was loudly called for, but did not appear. A person in the, lower gallery, habited as a sailor, then attempted to address the audience, after which the house was soon cleared. The expressions of disapprobation being confined to the variations of the human voice, without any which have been deemed illegal auxiliaries, the interference of the Police was less ob servable than heretofore. A severe contest took place between some gentlemen in the front boxes and the oppositionists in the pit. It terminated in a victory on the part of the former, who had rather I the vantage ground ; but we are sorry to state, that two ladies were struck with sticks, we hope, for the honour of British manhood, not intentionally, in ' the pit. One of them was severely wounded, and was obliged to he carried out of the House. Some' disturbances originated at the' doer of the box passage. A ring was formed; and a regtklar round took place in the lobby but such amateurs as stood by were disappointed, are affair beibg put an end to by the interference of the Police. The clOori of the Theatre were shtit aboueeleven o'clock, as usual. On Saturday evening, the follailiggentleinenivere ~ • brought fro*: Coveut-darderi theatre . ; heforo Me. REAES at Bow-street : Thema; Snr;th and William Smiti., of tlrt Saint Paul's Church-yard, were charged by Mr. Vemtect,. et Catty street, who 'aid, he wee in the p!t, and during the laq - fore:cm, lf he observed both the prisoners in company together ha the lower dress-boxes; when one of them held 11:5 a placard upon a which immediately produced a general huzza from diff:rent pal of the house, particularly the b-xes and pit ; he o'iierwil same writing upon the placard, but !, t the weird, wre he crud art tell; he endeatioured to snatch tha placard from him, 1):“. not obtain it, when he, who held up the placard struck him wi; It his stick; the witness then went into the butes, and had hint se cured; the prisoner, William Smith, assisted the other in holding up the placard, and afterwards held u? a placard himself, with the words written on it, " No new prices," and which produced huzzaing, and a great noise and tumult in the pit. Mr. Hewetson, of Battersea, said, he was in one of the lower boxes, and after half-price, the two gentlemen chat-Led, ill company with others, came into the box were he was ; tiny sdon began to make a great noise, by calling out " Off, off, no Jests." While the witness was endeavouring to tear down a plitard, which was held up in the pit, they abused him very much ; Mr. Thomas Smith and another gentleman then held up a large pla card, and Mr. William Smith heild up a small one, on which were the words " No New Prices ;" the effect produced by this was great shouting noise and tumult from the pit and boxes, and which continued for some tithe, and it was so great as to cause ladies to leave the box. - - Henry Fullion, an officer in the East India Company's service, said he saw the two Mr. smiths together in the box, assisting in the tumult, and that Mr. Thomas Smith held up a placard, and soon after a smaller placard was hrld up over Mr. Hewetson's kead, with the words " No New Prices" on it. Mr. - Charles Heak, of Marchmont-street, Brunswiet:•square, Mr. F. Austin, of Holborn -court, Gray's Inn, and Mr. Francis Pike, of K ngss. fee', Covent Garden, who were in the box with the Mr. Smiths, all agreed in asserting that Mr. Thomas Smith did not hold up atty placard, but assisted a gentleman in holding one up with his stick ; but that Mr. William Smith did not touch any of the placards that were handing about. They also stated, that there was the same kind of noise and tumul: in the house before the placards were exhibited from their box. Mr. READ ordered both the Mr. Smiths to find bail, them selves in 1001. each, and two sureties in 501. each, which they did by the arrival of some friends. FORGED ORDER.I.—John Dde and Joseph Flekher, clerks W Messrs. Allen and Wilson, tailors, of Bond-street, were charged with offering a forged order at the Pit door, to admit two, writ ten as follows :—" Admit 2, Pit. J. Brandon. Saturday, 14th October, i 809." It was immediately discovereetby the door-keeper that it was net the writing of either of the Mr. Brandons, and he gave the prisoners Into the custody of Smith, the conductor of the patrole. Mr. James and Mr. John Lrandon attended, and proved that the order was not written by either of them. The prisoners so lemnly declared they did not know it was a forgery, but that it was given them as a genuine order. This was confirmed by Mr. Newcomb, an Attorney, of Vine street, Piccadilly, who stated, that he had every reason to believe the order was written by a lad of the name of Charles Hinde, who had done it out of a frohck to the prisoners, and he believed the order was written in his office that afternoon, but without hi 3 knowledge; in fact the lad had told hint he wrote the order as a trick upon the prisoners. Mr. Newcomb proposed that he and one of their masters would he answerable tor the prisoners' appearance on Monday, when the lad should he brought forward, which Mr. Brandon agreed to, and they were liberated. It is reported to be his MAJESTY'S most gracious i - tention to restore, on the 25th instant, all the titles in the Scotch%Peerage which have been forfeited since the year 1637. • Lvciaim THEATRE.—Saturday night presented at this theatre two performers, for the first time, to a London audience, in the Comedy of The Soldier's Daughter ; viz. Mrs. EDWIN, from the Theatre Royal, Dublin, in the character of the lllidow Cheerley ; and Mr. KNIGHT, from the Theatre Royal, York, in that of Timothy Quaint. Their entrance was hailed in the most encouraging manner, and thelpplause increased as they proceeded in the parts they so well sustained. Mrs. EDWIN'S person is agreeable, and- her manner ' easy and engaging, as well as her voice clear and captivating. Her countenance, animated and ex pressive, is so much under the direction of her judg ment, that she gave a character and expression to some of the scenes in this play quite-novel. We have scarcely ever witnessed a more successful and flatt6r ing essay by any performer. • In the part- where she says, from the Author,- ' This is my first visit to London," she was greeted with thundering plaudits and bravoes for minutes together : as also when she added, " I purpose to stay the winter." An occa sional conclusion was given to the play, which had a most appropriate effect. Mr. KNIWIT possesses great advantages; as a performer, in the cast of characters he has adopted. Hit features .are distinct and pro minent. His voice is strong, and articulate ; but he certainly pitched it too high for so small a Theatre. In the character of RoLin Roughhead, in Fortune's Fro lic, the applause given by a numerous audience was very great. • The following were r.f the company who attended the Lyceuna Theatre, in the course of last week : The Princess of Wales, Countess of Guildford, Lord and Lady Ponconby, Lady Glenbervie, Lady M. Gore, Lard H. Fit7gerald, Lord Glenbervie, Crionels I lamiltutl, Frederick, and Murray; Miss Garth, Mr. and Mrs. Rolls, Mr. Courts, &c. Yesterday, after the fog cleared, the Parks and pub lic walks around the Metropolis were frequented by well-dressed pedestrians. The air was salubrious, and our dashing Bella appeared with the glow of health in their faces. Many fashionables have returned to town, and the scene cf promenade, taste, and gaiety, will Le soon revived. The BELLI:ISLE, Capt. COCKBURN ; and the BRIL. LIANT, Capt. SNITTII, have been paid off at Ports. mouth. Even bets are now laying, that Two out of the Four Twenty Thousand Pound Prizes, to be drawn on Friday next, will be shared by Hoassav and Co. Policies are likewise opened at a Premium of ten per cent. that HORNSBY and Co. sell or share the Four Twenty Thousands.
