• ROYAL VISIT TO HEATRE COVENT-GARDEN T. Th e gm paid his promised viut to this Theatre last n i g ht, and his recent presence at Drury-lane seemed no way to have satisfied, or even abated the public curio sity. The throng, even to the boxes, the instant thcy were opened, was prodigious ; not a seat, indeed, at a v ery early hour in the morning, was to be obtained in a ny part of the House. In the pit the pressure was most di eadfal. Long be fore his MAJZSTY• entered many women had fainted, a nd 'were kindly taken out through the dress boxes, the L at hes in which humanely assisted in pulling them up, eninifording them every assistance, for which they re• ceived the well-Merited plaudits of the whole house. At last the male part of the pit began to find their si togion " too hot to hold them,* and some of them made t heir exit also in the same way as the women. MS MAJESTY and suite set out from Carlton Palace in fi ve R o yel Carriages, escorted by a detachment of Life 'Gourds; and passing from Char ing-cross by St. Martin's lane, Long-acre, and James -street, arrived at the theatre aboot five minutes before seven o'clock. The pro cession, as may be supposed, attracted a vast crowd. The Duke of CLARINCX and the Marquis of WiNcuEsTen sat in the same carriage frith the KING; and the attend ests were generally the same as those who waited on M o nday, at4Prury-lane Theatre, with the addition of. dieLoito CVasfsettLasta and the Captain of the Yeoman Guard. His MAJESTY entered the Theatre by the private door,and proceeded, by a staircase built some years since faith peculiar accommodation, to the Royal box—the stage-box on the left-hand side of the Theatre: he was received and attended on his way by Mr. KESIBLE, Cap-. wit Fouu, and Mr. FAWCETT, (Captain Fonam in naval uniform, Mr. KIMBLE and Mr. FAWCETT in full Court dresses); and the very instant chat the SOVEREIGN :hewed himself, before he could enter the box, the whole Theatre rang out with one shout of acclamation. The view from the stage at this moment was striking in a very high degree. A large party of well-dressed per ms, the greater part of them females, had been ad 'Pitted behind the curtain, and were collected in the rear of the performers, who were to sing." God save the Xfßr;" and the curtain drawing up rapidly, as the door of the Royal box opened, 'hewed the house crammed to the ceiling, and the whole audience in the highest pos sible state of clamour and excitation. After " God medic King" was twice sung—the KING standing the whole time—the curtain was let down, and the stage cleared for the opera. The ball and staircase leading from the doors of the house to his MAJESTY'S box were hung with scarlet drapery, and covered throughout with carpeting. The box itself was very splendidly, but not gaudily appointed. Prince CsinaLEs of Leiningen, attended by several Officers in uniform, sat in the box immediately over the KING; Mr. Secretary , CANNING. Baron FACIEL, of the Netherlands, and a numerous party, sat in the box immediately adjoining. Between the acts his MAJESTY stood up and bowed at the good-humoured call of Dii &Teri. He was dressed is a splendid Field Marshal's uniform, and looked in deed uncommonly well. On his left sat the Duke of CLARENCE, habited as an Admiral of England. The' Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Earl of ERROLL and the Marquis of WINCHESTER, the two Lords in Waiting, stood behind the KING and his Royal Brother. The tortyrd'aril at this moment formed a beautifully amoral spectacle. Loyalty seemed more a passion than' duty of the people. The scene did not derive itsgran deur from the " sdlemn plausibilities of the world," but it was a fine and illustrative comment on the senti ment of the Poet— " not mere splendour mates the thew august Ta eye or heart—it is the people's trust." His MaJzsry acknowledged the joyous feeling which his' appearance amongst his subjects gave, with his habitual politeness; and to quote the words of a living Poet, Mr. Mayne, who, in his poem on the Ktrro's visit to Scot land, speaking of his MAJRSTY, says— " His stately farm, his graceful mien, Majestic, dignified, serene, Increas e d the grandeur of the scene , And weft our hearts, and e that The crowd was so great in the pit when the curtain drew up for the performance of The Cabinet, that silence for several minutes could not be commanded. One unfortunate man gave offence, either.by incommoding others, or complaining of being incommoded himself; bat he was seized at once by a hundred peace-makers, and passed as it were•from hand to hand out of the Thant e. At the same time the box-dciors were stir rounded with anxious (would-be) spectators, contending eith each other for a peep, even on the side from which nothing could be seen ; and the box-keepers were abso lutely bewildered between bribes and entreaties, for the reversion of places taken which might happen to be ufilled at the end of the first act. The group, indeed, 'or rather the crowd, which occupied the lobbies, was an object of curiosity. Great numbers of persons who had dressed themselves with an eye to the one shilling gal lery, paid box price in preference to enduring disap pointment altogether. The performances of the evening went off with great Virit. The King paid much attention to the singing of SINCLAIR and Miss PATON, and applauded frequently and heartily. At the end of the Opera, (in which a Portion of the Coronation Anthem was substituted for 'die usual finale) " GOD save the King" was sung by all the vocal performers; and "Rule, Britannia" was sub stituted in the encore. As soon as Tumour the Tartar was over , Ilse RING left his box, and was reconducted is his 'carriage with the same ceremony which had been bled in receiving him from it. His MAJIISTY did not wait the repetition of " GOD save the King," at the con tlusien of the ntelo-diama; but it was given, and warmly pined in by the audience, after his departure. He looked nue:Daly well in health, and bowed repeatedly to the house upon his entrance; and retired from the Theatre at half-past eleven o'clock, amid the same warm plaudits which had attended his first appearance in it. The usual. arrangements were made without the Theatre, and in the streets through which theXtrim was 10 pass, for marshalling the populase and preserving tranquillity. Sir RICHARD BIRNIS in person attended at the Theatre; Mr. LEa, the High Constable of West. minter, was also on the spot ; and all the principal officers of Bow-street were stationed about the passages of the house. h rained heavily during the whole even jog ; but we are happy to.srate that not the slightest accident occurred. His Mental.: was dressed in a scarlet uniform ; and decorated with the various Orders which -be is accustomed to wear on public occasions; We are bound in justice to acknowledge the judicious spirit in which all the arrangements for the evening were made and executed ; nor sbould we omit to notice the liberality of the Managers, who allowed the usual privilege of admission in its full extent, contrary to the example which was meanly set by the rivalestablishmenU NAPAL INTELLIGENCE. • Extract of a letter from the Aga* to Lloyd's at Sakai (Rlver Shannon), dated the gals ultimo :--" A sloop was litsdip as Mutton bland , Malbay.

This celebrated seminary, venerable for its antiquity and for the many eminent men who have received their early education within its walls, s:ill asserts its claim to classical excellence. We last night witnessed the re hearsal, by the Ktruis scholars, of Tisanes's well known comedy of The Adelphi. We found some diffs• culty in making good our entrance to she Theatre, tem porarily erected to the dormitory; but the talent dis played by the young Gentlemen amply repaid all the inconvenience we experienced frotn the pressure of the throng who surrounded the door, not to say a word about the raja, which came down with great violence. The characters were thus represented : Mitto - Ssitoess. Demes - - T. Kluane. Semi* - D. Denson. Ambient) - - - 0. Pauwansas. Syrus - F. Mammon. Ctesipho - -- - H. Caterna. Rostrata - - J. M. Beam Cambers - - - J. R. Hall. Gets - W. R. PAWL. Heti° - J. BINTALI. • Dremo J. M. caster,. Frequently as we have seen the plays of TRRENDE per formed at Westminster, we do not remember ' any per formance which, as a whole, was superior to that of last night. It was not a mere school-boy effort, where the memory is active while the understanding is asleep; correct taste, and an accurate knowledge of the text, were observed in every scene. The strongly-contrasted brothers, Mitio and Dense (ilk diem sa sra placidus hie diem citra irant feet's) were exceedingly well re presented by Messrs. H. SANDERS and T. - Kumar.— Mr. D. M. Dosmor's Sawao was uncommonly good. He dressed the character well, and was, jn truth, a most entertaining ruffian. Had we met him in a the' Fives'-'court," we should have worshipped him: Syrus, that serous oaferrinsus, was very ably sustained by Mr. F. MARKHAM. He told his various lies with easy confi dence; and hoaxed the crabbed Dessea with much easy humour. His drunken scene was pleasantly acted. This, young man has evidently great talents for the stage; but we hope that PROVIDENCI will placehim iu a shorter and more pleasant road to fame and fortune. The part of Aschines was cleverly represented by Mr. J. G. Pisit.i4- swag. One of the best acted scenes in the Play was that which occurs towards the end of the Fourth Act, where the goodness of Mitio raises to happiness the despairing £schinus. M. SANDERS and Mr. Pati.t.t. MORE were here unusually successful. The rough blunt ness of Cksiplso was given with good effect by Mr. H. CHESTER. But no character in the Play was performed with greater effect than . that of &strata, by Mr. J. M. HEATH. It was full of feeling and delicacy. Nothing could be more chaste and tender than the lamentation of Sostrata, when she is induced to believe that Ascot& nus bas abandoned her daughter. It was a beitutifel piece of recitation, and drew down thunders ef.opp plause. The parts of Gdo, Hegio, and Cantliarts, um* sustained with much ability. The audience was very. numerous, and frequently attesied the satisfaction they derived from the performance by loud applause. Count Sr. Ass-onto has lett town on a visit to the Earl of Rases, at his seat, Cublobory Park, Herts. A dreadful storm, on the Slst of October, desolated the coasts of Normandy and Bretagne, doing much damage to the shipping and harbours. Jamaica letters received by the last packet, allude to the arrival at Kingston of the Deputies above alluded to, and add, that they were attempting the purchase of military stores, in payment of which they offered bills on the Peruvian Loan. By accounts from Hayti, we learn that the Prohibition Act,,as regards trade between that Republic and the West India Colonies, had been most attriatly enforced ; and theta* vessel whatever, or under any pretence, was permitted to infriogo it. - OLD BAILEY—THIS DAY. Henry Harris, a young man who was stated - t*l;e the son of an eminent watch-maker, was put to the bar on an indictment, charging him capitally with stealing from the person of Mr. Thomas NeWton, a watch and its appendages, on the 17th of November last. A number of witnesses were called to speak to the cha racter of the prisoner, all of whom gave him a very good one. Mr. Justice Barter summed up the evidence to the Jury, who, after a short consultation, found the pri soner—Guilty, Death—but recommended him to mere;. James Compton and Thoneas Denton were indicted for burglarious'' , breakidg and entering the dwelling-house of Dr. William Hammond, of Ssuthgate, on the 26th of October last, and stealing therefrom two coats, of the value of £5. It appeared that on the evening'of the above day the prosecutor left his house io attend a patient about nine o'clock, and returned in an hour : while he was absent his surgery was broken open, and the two coats taken away. The prisoner Compton had been the prosecu tor's coachman, and discharged a few days before the robbery. Both he and Denton weir seen offering the coats for sale the next morning ; and after they were in custody, the coats were got from Denton's wife in a mutilated state. Reid, a Row-street patrol, stated that Compton confesied it was their intention to tub Dr. Hammonds hen-roost that night ; for which purpose they waited at Denton's house until they were joined by another man, known only to Denton. :They all three went to Dr. Hammond's, and he (Compton) knowing the premises got over the wall and let the stranger in. They proceeded to the foe, 1-house, and wrung off the heads of several fowls, which they put into a sack. They then went to - the . surgery, broke it open, and took the coats, While Denton stood sentinel. They next pro ceeded to the Chequers public-house, where Denton broke open the fowl-house, and took away the fowls, which, with the others, the prisoners took to market next day ; but he (Compton) did lint participate in the fruits of the robbery. Compton afterwards said that the third man's name was Banks. • Compton, in his defence, said that he was led into the business by Denton, but denied the doors being locked. Denton disavowed all knowledge of the robbery, and said he knew nothing of the fowls until he reached Bishopsgate. They were conveyed into hii cart by Compton, who had requested to ride into town with him. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in charging the Jury, informed them that Compton's confession was evidence against himself, but not against Denton. If, therefore, they convicted the latter, it must be by other evidence, hide. pendent of Compton's confession. • Thejury found Compton guilty, and acquitted Denton. Saatuel Gulliver was indicted for stealing from the person of Wm.. Thomson, a silver, watch, a gold seal, and key, his pioperty. . Mr. Thomson stated that he lodged in the Borough, and was a pupil in St. Thomas's Hospital. On the day of the Lord Mayor's procession,between three and four, as he was proceeding through the crowd over Black fria'r's-bridge, he heard something chink in his waist coat pocket, and putting his hand to his fob, he missed his.wateh. Upon looking round, he perceived it in the prisoner's hand, who was in the act of putting it into his pocket. He•ithmediately seized him, and took his women :rota him. The prisoner delivered It up easily, keying -0 Now you have got your pro rty , let me go." The prosecutor, however, called out f or an officer, and held the prisoner until one came, to whom he gave him in charge. • T. Potter, the constable, stated that he took the pri soner to the witch-hotise, and although he handcuffed him,. he contrived to get away froin haw. He re-seized him however, upon which the prisoner observed, that " he was now in for a journey to the Compter, from that to Court, and from chill to Botany." Piisoner.—lt is all false what that perjuring rascal is swearing. The Recomma asked the Witness, upon his oath, if what he had just stated were true ? The witness said, upon his oath, it was, and repeated the words used by the prisoner. The Recommit then told the kisoner he might bring witnesses to contraditt the testimony of the constable, if it was false. The prisinter asked if it was possible for any man of common sense to believe that he would say such a thing to an officer, as " what that perjuring rascal, who would swear a Man's life iwlty, was stating ?" - The RiCORDER told' the prisoner he did not know what he would say ; bitk he was not serving himself by what hews saying there. The prisoner being then celled upon for his defence, said that he had picked the watch up.m.ilio street, and upon the .prosecutor alleging that it was his, he de livered it up to him at puce., The Jury unhesitatingly fotind'him Gailty. The RI:CORDER ordered hip to be immediately brought up for judgment, and Sentenced him forthwith to be transported during the term of his natural life. The prisoner, who is . a tall, well-made, slight lad, *bout 18 yfiars of age, reired from the bar smiling. Martin Purcell was convicted of stealing a pack, con taining cotton goods to the value of 531. the property of Messrs: Dudley and Pattison. He was seen by a con stable in ,St. Martin's-le-Grand, in company with two Other meu, with the pack in his possession. Not being able to give a satisfactory account of how it came into his possession, the constable took him into custody. The Recommit sentenced him to seven years' trans- I • potation. George Jame Moturtfiord, a chimney-weeper, was in dicted for stealing a mare, value 17/. the property of George Dainer. The cansetutor lives in Berkshire, and , his son, having occasion to go to Bernham on the 6th of November, slept there that night, at the Crispin public house. He had rode the mare in question, which was put up in the stable of the Crispin. He .observed she' prisoner there, who asked him some questions respect ing the mare, and. looked into its mouth. When he (the prosecutor% son) got up next morning the mare was missing. Suspecting that she might have been conveyed to Smithfield-market, he immediately proceeded to Lat ins, and reaching Smithfield before dote o'clock, he there recognised the object of his pursuit. Having pro- cured the assistance of two peace-officers, the prisoner, who had the mare in his possession, was taken into cus tody: He told the officers that the mare 'was his pro long, and that he bad bought her at St. Alban's, for two cloakies and a one-pound note. ,In his defence to-day, heaaid that he had met a man ea the road who employed him to ride the mate tap to town, for the purpose of being sold in SmitbSel t d: .Ver dicV—Gerilty—Death. NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. ITONOURABLR ACQUITTAL OF CAPTAIN HARRIS. PoRTSlloovii, proceedingsof the Cour t in the case of Captain G nonce HARRIS, C.B. of his Majesty's ship I:usla a, closed this afternoon, when the following sentence was pronounced That the charges have not been proved against the said Capt. 1 1 George Harris, grid are without any foundation; thatthe communications loom - .lie Foreign 0/lice to the Admi ralty, originating in the letters of Sir Edward Thornton to the .Under Secretary of State, mentioning therein that the Hussar. was not ready for sca, are totally without foundation, as that ship. appears to have been in perfect readiness to put in esecution the orders from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, from the moment of her anchoring in the Sound, on the 9th of August, and to have been solely and entirely delayed by the nort embarkation of Sir Edward Thornton; and that no blame whatever was imputable to Captain George Har ris, who; on the contrary, appears to have acted throogh out with his accustomed zeal and promptitude: nor bas the conduct of the said Captain George Harris been in any way contrary to the discipline of the Royal Navy, highly prejudicial to the public interest, or his Majesty 's service:* and the Court sloth therefore adjudge the said Capt. George Harris to be most honourably acquitted ; and the said Captain George Harris is hereby most ho nourably acquitted accordingly." HERIFORD JAIL. Yesterday morning, morning, Mr. Wilson, the Governor of the County jail, received a• letter from Mr. Wontner, the Keefer 'of Newgate, informing him that he had been served with a wt it of habeas corpus, to produce Thomas Thurtell al t o' witness at the approaching trial of' the prisoners for the murder of Mr. Weare. Mr. Wontner also requested that an arrangement might be made for the safe custody of Thomas Thurtell in the jail during his stay at [lei tford, to which he was removed by two turnkeys in a post-chaise. Mr. James, a respectable farmer from Gloucester shire, who is married to Probert's mother, arrived at the jail yesterday morning, and had a long interview with his stepson. He gave him some money for pre sent use, and also informed him, that more was placed in the hands of Mr. Williams, his Solicitor, for defray ing the expenses of his trial. • Mr. James left the town shortly after his interview with Probert, for the purpose of dispatching a messenger to Lidbroke ' in Glonces tershile, and another to Kingston, Surrey, for some wit nesses, whose attendance he desires on the trial. Mr. Jay and Mr. Fenton were for several hours yes terday again in close conference with Thurtell, whose spirits and demeanour remain unchanged. Hunt ad heres with confidence to the legal force of the confession which he made before the Magistratei,iisht says that he will not believe that he is included lithe capital in dictment. Thurtell's *Solicitors decided list night, in a consultation 'with their Counsel, • upon the affidavits which they mean to urge in supped of their motion for the poitponemept of the trial.

An Evening Paper Ills stated, that last Sod - Jai:Tor the first time, the Chaplain performed Divine Service Ai the j.iil at Heitford, before the prisoners indicted . for the murder of Mr. Weare.
