CHATHAM, NOV. 12. The VENritAHLE was taken into dock on Thursday, and the damage she sustained when she got on shore off Flushing is very considerable. The number of pu-sons who resort to the Dock-yard to see the wreck of her bottom, is very great, and every body is struck with surprize that she could be brought into port ; meat part of her stern-post, two pieces of the dead wood, the keel and gripe are torn away, and she made six feet water in an hour; they had contrived to fix a large sail on her bottom, which gave a check in some measure to her taking in so much water, and by which they were enabled to bring her home. The Fve.x, fitting for a prison-ship, is also taken into dock to be caulked and coppered, she is to relieve the BRISTOL, which has been so much cut about by the French prisoners, and is so very old and leaky that she will be paid off and pulled to pieces. The OWEN GLLNDOWER, has been taken into dock, and put out again in the course of the week, having received a slight injury on the keel. The NASSAU is ordered to be paid off and laid up in ordinary.

ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14. This day the R ight Hon. Sir WILLIAM SCOTT pro ceeded to the adjudication of the following cases : Urano, Silva Master.—lt appeared that 100 guineas had been demanded of the Master of this ship for piloting he.- from off the island of Portland, to the Downs, which was resisted, and a ten der of 42 S guineas made. The Court had the assistance of a Trinity Master, who was of opinion that the sum tendered was amply sufficient, and the Court pronounced for the same, with costs. Eleanor, Hall Master.--1 his was an appeal from a sentence of condemnation of the ship and cargo, which passed in the Vice- Admiralty Ccurt of Halifax. The vessel, on a voyage to Anti gua, put into Halifax (as asserted by the Master) in a state distress, where she was seized for a breach of the Navigation Act. The Court took time to consider its sentence. THE ARMY. Nfajor-General Lord CLARINA and suite, and Lady CLAR!NA, have taken their passage in the Concord merchantman, from Cork, for his Lordship's com mand in the West Indies. Captain WEITROPP has gone out .?s his Lordship's Aid-de-Camp. On the 3d instant arrived at Cork the Pit transport, Cart:lin BRUCE, part of a convoy from Lisbon, hav ing on board the head quarters of the Ist battalion of detachments, formed from the army of the late Lieu tenant-General Sir JOHN MOORE, and commanded by Colonel BUNBURY, of the Buffs. The remains of this gallant battlion, which so eminently distinguished it self at the taking of Oporto, and the late glorious battle of Talavera, and which was so honourably no ticed by Lord WELLINGTON, in his orders and dis patches, are now about to join their regiments, all of which are in England. Tuesday se'nnight the Fifeshire militia, lately re- . turned from England, where they had served near six years, was inspected on Musselburgh Links, by the Hon. Major-General LESLIE, who was pleased to express,.in the strongest terms, his entire approbation of their steadiness and correctness, in the performance of the different evolutions in the field, and his satisfac tion with the interior economy of the regiment. Monday, the 23d ult. the Xircudbright Gentlemen and Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by J. GORDON, ' Esq. of Culvennan, Lieutenant-Colonel Comman dant, assembled for five, days exercise at Kirkcud bright. Wednesday, the 25th, was ushered in by ringing of the bells of the town, and at 11 the Gen tlemen and Yeomanry Cavalry, and the Kirkcud bright Local Militia, Staff and Non-commissioned Officers, were paraded and marched to church, pre ceded by the Provost, Magistrates, and whole Coun sellors, where they heard a very appropriate discourse by the Rev. Dr. MUTER, one of his Majesty's Chap lains, and Dean of the Chapel Royal, from Psalm cv. i. After church, the cavalry again paraded, and fired three vollies in honour of the commencement of the 50th year of the reign of our beloved Sovereign. At one o'clock the gentlemen of the county held a meet ing to address his Majesty, at which the Earl of SEL KIRK presided ; and at two the Magistrates met for the same purpose. The Provost, Magistrates, and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood dined to gether at the King's Arms ; and Colonel GORDON gave an excellent dinner to his regiment, on the hap py occasion, in the Town-hall ; and the local militia non-commissioned officers were entertained by their Colonel, Sir ALEX. GORDON ; at all which dinners his Majesty's health, and many other patriotic toasts were drunk with that degree of enthusiasm which so happy a day inspired. Next day, the Kircud bright Gentlemen and Yeomanry cavalry were re viewed by the Lord Lieutenant, and inspected by Co. lonel CHARLES M'MURDo, Inspecting Field Officer, who were pleased to express their entire approbation of the appearance of the men and horses, and die dis cipline of the corps. After which, the whole corps were regaled by Atm. MURRAY, Esq. of Broughton, Captain of the Cally troop. Much credit is due to the corps for their pointed attendance, as there were present under arms nearly 200. eoPEIV74-G4RiißlstrazATAA tt would be absurd to enter info any thing like A regular critique on a play, .of which we only heard one half. Of The Busy Belly, performed last night ) we shall, therefore ) content ourselves with saying, that, for the three acts which were audible, the cast of characters was admirably supported. Early in the evening, the harmony was interrupted by a quarrel in the second tier of boxes, The disputants were loud and noisy, and the affray at length termiriated with one of them being carried to Bow -street, minus a lappel and skirt of his coat. Throughout the night, the boxes were prolific in quarrels between the ene mies and friends of the house. Some persons were turned out of their places. Some talked of exchanging cards, and all talked loudly. Two or three orators, too, started in the midst of these broils, none of whom, however, got beyond the alpha of their speeches.— Sevtral placards were stuck up, of which one was a caricature of a personin the position of a pugilist ) marked D. M. and below 0. P. " Be staunch to your cause, for Bow-street not caring, " And you'll carry your point, in spite of Mainwaring." " King Kemble, and Hari is, and Brandon, ' We boldly defy you all three ; 44 Our cause we will never abandon Until you come down with 0. P."" " Death or 0. P. and N. P. B." At the end of the play, this party sat down in the centre of the pit, and sang a verse of " God save the King," which being finished, a person started up with a rattle, and coursed round the pit, with the most per fect impunity ; followed by some of his party as a guard, and sprang it for the space of five minutes. One man in the Boxes displayed a caricature in his hat, namely, a figure of John Bull, with a rattle in his hand, exclaiming Old Prices ! At his feet lay a man, whom John Bull was in the act of kicking.— The Pit WAS not more than two-thirds filled, and the vacant seats enabled the oppositionists to practise a new dance, which they name the Rattle Snake Mi nuet. This nouvelle movement was performed by two performers, each holding a watchman's rattle. The first was followed by the second man, at the distance of about six or eight yards, and by running over the Pit, springing their rattles at intervals, they kept up a continual noise, and were joined by loud shouts of clamorous approbation from their companions. The 0. P. dance was not forgotten, and, in short, the voices of the performers were completely drowned. — In the farce of The Portrait of Cervantes, the comic appearance of LisroN, in a shroud, which has fre quently produced involuntary laughter, was totally disregarded, and all the mirth attached to the piece 1.11 41.13C11CC1 to the pi was superseded by the disturbance which prevailed in eluding the Proserpine, two corvettes, and a number the Pit. . of brigs.

Mr. Gitaxma suggested the impropriety of such a question. He had asked Mr. Davis, who was a gen- • tleman he knew to be of high respectability, whether the defendant had gone through - the pit with an ap parent wish to create a riot ? and he had answered in . the affirmative ; he therefore begged he (Mr. Gra ham) might nbt be again interrupted. The defendant was ordered to find bail. Willian: Colley,. who stated he was a saddler, re siding at Richmond, was charged by Mr. Samuel Hunter, surgeon, St. Martin's-lane, with blowing a whistle, in the two-shilling gallery of Covent-Garden Theatre, during the performance ; his testimony was corroborated by one of the Patrole, who stated, that he had taken twelve whistles from the Defendant's pocket. The defendant, in his defence, said, he only came from Richmond that day, and had bought the whis tles for handles of whips, which were in the line of his trade. He never had been in the theatre before : he saw a great number of persons hissing at a fe male, in one of the boxes, who had misbehaved her self, and he took out one of his whistles to join in the noise, but he did not know he was doing wrong.— He was ordered to find bail ; but none appearing, he was committed. William Biggin was charged with feloniously steal ing a bed, the property of Daniel Donovan, of Stew art's-rents; Drury-lane. The prisoner was seen com ing out of the Prosecutor's house, with a bed on his back, by Mary Ann Bell, on the 6th instant, and the bed was found in the possession of the prisoner the same afternoon. The prisoner was fully committed fur trial. Nothing has yet transpired, either to confirm or in validate the rumour of an action in the Mediterra nean.
