Mr. KE0451 C's lion/et has long been considered as the most fierfitt representation the stage affords. Miss Batton appeared for the first time in the character of Op4eb,7. and sang the airs with simplicity and sweet ness ; hut though she answers the description of the pretty Opielidt, she possesses no other requisite, as an eetreiv, to make the character efieftive. Mrs. Sr. Lainza was the reprt-ientative of the Qlcen, and d d the character extremely well ; hut there are a natural coarseness and vulgarity in her voice and manner, that ill arr•ord with dignity, and are de sitative of her best efforts to please. Liston per f.•m•.d Peionisr, in the absence of Mr. MUNDEN ; a. i r;r Pore, f'r the first time, represented the yreat judgment and effect. At the end rtbe sect.nd att, a Gentleman, whose name we u ifersiand to be Riddele, attempt to address the ati.fe-c, from the first tier of the ,Boxes, and froru the wanderings of his imagination, there is little doubt of his being insane. He talked of Mr. Kass • a:.t.'s having murdered a speech ;—said his sister oas married to Sir Faaticts B•st ma, and that his mother was dead: the house, however, became earnor , us, and he resumed his seat, without Ba ther annoyance during the performance.

Shortly atter the arrival of Sir . W. Young, the President, the Admiralty barge came along side with Mr. Jeri's, Counsel for the Admiralty, Mr. Bicknell, Solicitor to the Admiralty, Moses Cree. tham, Esq. Deptiv Judge Advocate, and the other Gentlemen on the part of the prosecution. Imme diately al:ex followed Sir Home Popham, in his own barge, attended by Mr. Cricket, Provost Mar shal of the Admiralty, who was supposed to have Sir Home f'opham in his custody, carrying Sir Home Popham's sword, he being under arrest Mr. Harrison anti, Mr. Lewes, Sir Home's Counsel and Agent, with others of his friends, also attended him. Sir Home Popham WAS dressed in his full uiform as a Post Captain, without his sword, wear. the Insignia of dee Order of St. Ferdina nd and Of Merit. tie appeared in perfed spirits ; and as he came orr deck, walked with his usual steady and un damited air. Instead of presented arms, the guard of Marines only carried arms as he passed. Sir Home Popham was followed, in another boat, by Lord Viscount Melville, Mr. Sturges Bourne, Mr. Secretary Marsden, Capt. King, and several others. General Sir Charles Prevost, Governor of Ports mouth, General the Earl of Cavan, Major-General Levesno Gower, Brigadier-General Acland, Col. Cadogan.

Pre cisely at nine o'clock the President, Judge Advo cate, &c. proceeded to the State Cabin, which had been fitted up for the express purpose of hold ng Naval Courts Martial, and shortly after the Mem bers, constituting the Court, ware appointed as follows: Admiral Sr W. YOUNG, President. Tire.Achoiral Sir E. Goner, kear-Admi-al Sit R. Strachan, Via Ad viral I. Holarioraj i Captain 1; H Luise*. yies•Adini.al B. Rowley , C a pt ain Mohan Grates, %Nee. Admtral Hun. H.

Coffin, The Court being thus assembled, the Counsel re presenting the Admiralty, who prosecutes, took his seat to the right, bchind the President, together with the Sri:icitor, and other persols engaged on the part of the Prosecution. The other naval :Ind military 01§cers, Lord Melville, Mr. Stutges Bourne, and the other Gentlemen not immediately composing the Court, but who Attended 46 witar►ses, &e. stood behind the President. Sir Home Popham rank his place at the lower end of the Court, on ;he left of the Judge Advo cate, with the Piovost Marshal on his left, and his Counsel, Agent, and friends in the rear. The sides of the cabin were allotted for the• Public. The se veral Officers composing •the Coen wore their full dress uniforms ; Sir ft. Strachan Also wore his fed ribband. The Court being declored open, and the Order from the Commissioners of the Admiralty, direded to Admiral Sir Wm. Young, as ProAdet,-, for holding a Court Martial on board the Gl4dor, being read aloud by the Judge Advocate, the seve ral Members of the Court tool the usoal oath. The President then inquired if any Gentlemen attended to take down minutes of the proceedings, for publicatiou in the Newspapers ? and being an swered in the affirrnatire, he was pleased to dire& that they should be accommodated together on the tight side of the Court. This being done, the Pre sident informed them that mite% inconvenience had occurred upon the late Court Martial on Sir Robert Calder, in consequence of partial accounts of the pro ceedings being published in the Daily Newspapers, previous to the conclusion of the trial, notwithstand ing the positive injunnions of the Cann to the con. very. This was considered as a high breach of honcur, and a contempt of the Court. It was therefore to be understood, by the Gentlemen who attended for this particular purpose, that they were act, loran any account, to publish any part of the proceedings until the final decision of the Court, and upon no other condition would they be elbowed to take down any minutes of the proceedings, and to this they mess unequivocally pledge themselves. One of the Gentlemen then addressed the Court, and* said, that the same pledge had been required of them and given, epos the trial of Sir Ittabeit Calder, but in breach of all good faith, one of the Gentlemen who attended for The Mor,iiag Newspaper, after the others had delivered up their minutes, secreted his, and stole away with Them over the off side of the vessel, and immediately sent them express to London for publication. Tiie President then (heeded, that if that person was now in Court he should he sent on shore imme diately s bat was answered, that in consequence of his former coedit& that person was not suiFered to come dowel, as the other Gentlemen refused to a 8 with him, and was not then in Portsmouth ; upon which the President espressed himself sati►fied ; and the several Gentlemen who were to take rui,outes then came forward (one excepted) and pledged themselves to these cond•tions. 'this person, who belongs to a new Evening Paper, when called upon to h ive the same pledge with the others, said he should decline taka g any minutes upon such conditions I but, upon its being supgested to the President, that the Gentleman might give a pa:led account of the proceedings from memory, and he persisting in his refusal to give a pledge, he seaf; inonedtarely ordered to quit the ship, and the Officer direled not to admit him on board again during the sitting of the Court. The President then di►eaed that the Gentl-men should deliver up their note books, at tae rising of the Court. At twelve o'clock, the Court adjourned for half . , in hour, in order to prlcurt some original papers (rum above. The Court being again assembled, some nriginal documents were read. And Mr. Jervis inch:n.4'44 that he had coucluded the case on the part of the prosec 'soon.

The Order of tho Admiralty to Mr. Bignel being read, The sevc:al documents before enumerated, ab stracts of which had been annexed to the charges last preferred, were tendered in evidence, and p-nved in the usual way. Tbey were afterwards severally read, when the prosecution was stated to be closed. Mr. Jervis appeared as Prosecutor for the Admiralty. Sir Home Popham was called on by the Crr.;rt to state, when he woLld be re 44 to proceed oh his defence. Sir Home, in an animated adlt,tss, obser7d to the Court, that the first charges sent him by the Admiralty, about hail an hour alter his ainvel town, referred only to three documents, and by which, alone, he had supposed, that they were to trc suoktanti ited ; whereas the new chn7es which had been exhibjjed against him, and which Itad been prernited so him half as boor after his arrival at Portsmouth, had reference to reghteen do'cuments, of which he had nut been furnished with copies, um had he any knowledge of their content:, tut from i•aving beard them hastily read in Coint ; yet he thought, with respeA to the public, it might be ex pedient for him to take a little time in preparing his defence against the charges, in their present novel form, in order to remove any impression which they might have made on the public mind. He there fore, howeger reluBantly, mast .request the indul• Fence of the Court 141 Monday, when he should tie wrfeiftly prepared to enter on his defence.

This morning, at eleven o'clock, the Court met, with the usual ceremonies; but, in consequence of the general unslcrstaridin& that Sir “0131 C Popham would ant emir upon his defence, the Court was not halt so crowded as on the preceding day. Sir Home Popham smog called upon, by toe President, to kr.ow if he was ready to • roa;ie his dctence ? the former answered, that the documents, on which he rested his defence, were so numerous, it wad quite impossible ft.- hem to proceed in it until Monday. In the mean time he begged permission of toe Court to read some documents, which appeared to him essentially necessary to hi. defence. He asses, this permission now, fiist, because it would save much of the time of the Court; and • next, as he should refer to them in the course of his defence, it was necessary they should be before the Court in some stape or other. The Court was then cleared, and after an hour's deliberation, the Court determined that Sir Home Popham snould first make his defence, and after wards proceed with his evidem;e. . - The . Court then adinumed, about one o'clock, until utile on Monday morning next, when Sir Home Popham will immediately proceed with Isis defence.
