OCTOSiII 12. • Tai renovated organixatioa of the Old Minis try is not yet complete, for although the new :Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord BATHURST, blued kends yesterday at the Levee, on his ap • palatial:at, the appointment of Mr. R. Deweass yet awaits that confirmation, which is, however, depleted to take place on Wednesday. We ac- Ihronwledp that wo feel no small share of corks thy to see the incipient measeres of Ibis newly. forased Cabinet Phalanx. So farther intelligence has been received (torn Vienna. War. and rumours of War, continue is eireidatiiin with unabated activity. When will that isecur.ed s.iund be succeeded by the blessed one of Pews, for the return of which we are cornered that a majority of this Nation now sigh, and thneglt in secret, yet with a fervency that eausitt 101 l permit the wish to be concealed. SPlntelf Papers to the lath of September arri. wed yest relay. From these, and the German and • . gent h Papers, we basin- ikile -extracts, and should hate given much more, were we not re . strained by elliVrAliCe consumed bZ detailing the • particulars and progress of the ion' portiot clis putt• between the blindly.obstivate Proprietors elf Coteat-Garden Theatre, and the People of England.... This contest daily assumes a more serious aspect ; but surely if Ike Pro. ',fitters are blind, those authorities in whom are vested the powers of contractl over this The atre are not so. Our astonishment at the conduct • of the Proprietors can only be surpassed by their being so long suffered to insult the people of England----from behiod the en tren,chment of the monopoly—which, however, be it remembered, is toniroulable. We have heard a report, that the conduct of the Prop, ie.! tors is regarded with anger by the most exalted Personage in the kingdom. Well may the anger of that soaped Parsonage be excited, at the in soloist presumption, which has robbed ids people, of a portion of that *rite in the Theatre which is the property of the poilic, and the pall& en(,. The materials of which the building is fondest are the property of the Patentee, ; but every inch of the space appropriated to an audience in 1 a patent Theatre, is the property of the public ; at large—and we defy the refutation of thii assertion. If the Proprktors, ender a mo avowedly, created for the advantage .• of the Public—have a right to convert one tier of Boxes into a place of privileged re. sort —what argument can be offered against the conversioosof the w hole of the Boxes, Pit, and Galleries, in likeasselingb to the exclusive use of certain iudividoels, and to (tic complete and otter /scission of the Public at large ? We court en answer to this single argument against the system of private Boxes, to the principle of r.Phicis we l i ob more, ranch more than to any advance of price, however unreasonable !!!

The shippers at those ports are resuming their usual activity at this season of the year, to prevent the detention of the vessels by the freezing of the Baltic.

The small size of the paper arose from its being eat since the mond visit of Mr. Knox.* to the Office of The Times, given a correct account of what from a whoir sheet, containing (by computation) has occurred in the present extraordinary contest about 80 : between the Proprietors avid the I'eople. In a T O. great majority of the daily Prints, the accounts that have been given are substantively false —in some, P T• facts have been asisrepresestod—and in others, to- W r • lallj suppressed.

Hun of the audience was first excited by the fotatin&, in of Mr.Taxi.ott's sung—and certainly from that moment the pertormance on the stage was inaudi ble ; but no instruments, such as horns, bells, Or rattles, were heard—until after the perforuiance on the stage was concluded, nor until an impn. dent challenge of Me Fireman to the whole House had provoked a general tumult. This worthy !harlequin forgot to tell the public of this fact, and of the subsequent expulsion of the Sons of Israel---and we feel no hesitation in asserting, that this acconnt in the Courier (who has, we understand, as well as the trimming Times, and we cannot with propriety repeat Gos pel l'ost—seen his error) is a statement of falsehood, misrepresentative, and suppres sion of facts. If a Newspaper nndertakes to report a public proceeding, it is an imperious duty to adhere to truth ; opinions on such pro. ceedings every one has a right publicly to main tain, however they may be in opposition to each uthate bet toe say—let the NIA& •ker:e [lie trash.—ineil the whole truth.

The commitment of.a poor man of the name of A NDREWS, on 'Tuesday, for having distri buted a hand-hill, which, although we gave it yesterday, we think it proper again to insert, excited in us a strong desire to ascertain the truth of the assertion, for the dissemination of which this poor man was committed on the OATH (as was said) ti!

Baring U. I tared the noose with our preilistie order, the dist I object that attracted our attention Wei . the doss serried hanks on the benches - at the hot4mn of the Pit. Of thew we counted seven from tile Orchestra, all evidently filled, without an indivi. dual -- exception, nab Israelites, Bruisers, and other Vagabonds and Ruffians. The Boxes were tolerably filled---and that ton , with company of respectable appearance • atuon.;s: whom, in the lower .tier, we observed Sevetal ' Geutlemen, interested as renters and other* ibe bs the property of the House, who naturally exerted themselves (occasionally during the eventn4 in the support of their own property. To this no one can object ; it is as natural as it is reasonable to expect. The Private Bulges were thinly attended, but late in the performance, we saw his Royal High ness the Duke of Yoaa in his box, which is hu the right hand, beneath the tier of Parcae Buses. The two first ac's of The Ileir at bur were listened to by the audience with gloomy at. tention, as indeed, with some inconsiderable interruption l was the third. The iserforinauee of EMERY was etqtil(lte ; more perfect acting we really never saw. But She 44 clap traps" that were attempted, were sot very successful.

'There was another passsge in this piece peen lie rly applicable to the state of the Theatre.-.'* When" (said MURRAY) 61 Hoak at this grand reservoir " of opolence"—the action of his ann was cost. rally construed to be In the direction of the Private Boxes, and the application was evisbntlf felt by a majority of the House. He proceeded, " May the larger and the lesser (inks hold 66 kiatil4 together till time 'aides into eter. " pity ;"...this sentiment failed in produc. le s the Reuel effect. There was also another pas. ' pettie which was evidently felt by the (louse as 'peculiarly applicable to the present state of this lied of commerce, in which the uptlart oli• ' garchy of tra.ffick already begins to be as seriously felt by the ancient families of the seemed order of the State---as by the gentry of this nation, who du nut enjoy rusk or title. ...The passage to which we allude is that in which young Dowlas prefaces his rascally pro. posel to protect, not marry, the girl whose af fections he had obtained. " Chance may so fur at remvait ate wren from another," &C. 'fo those who know how entirely by Chance many, many men, of now half a million, have beets thrown into situations in which they had au opportunity of fattening on loans, contracts, jobs, specul.tion, —of basking in the senshisse of Ministerial favour, and distending their bags by the wages of corrup tion—the application of this passage was irresistible. --but although the whispers in the Boles 'hewed that it was felt, no external symptoms, either of approbation or disapprobation, were displayed. After half.price the whole House was filled—bet from the commencement of the fourth act to the conclusion of the piece, the sieslapiti c t i s the Gal. lery preferred the loyal air " save the King" to the pedantry of Or. Pangloss (who p by the bye, was dressed most villainously out of character, in a pink Coat, with black trim. eninr), or the music of The Padlock. In one word, God Sere the King was repeatedly en cored; and in the intervals of the performance in the Gallery, the Pit performed Interliolei, as well instrumental as vocal. We, however, only heard one rattle there. In the Box" there wen two horn*. The disapprobation was more general last night, and more decisive than on Tuesday evening ; hot there was, we believe, no lighting ru the Pit. Some persons • ere dratted out of the Boxes. 4n one instance,
