PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 29.—His Majesty's ship NOrth Star, 28, Capt. the Right Hon Lnrd W. Paget, arrived on Sunday from Bermuda, from which place she sailed on the 28d of December, leaving there his Majesty's ship Winchester 52, Capt. 11. G. Colpoys, with Admiral E. G. Colpoy's flag flying. The Winchester had been on shore iu the narrows at Bermuda, and lost her redder, and seriously damaged her bottom. She had howe►er been fitted with a new rudder, and it was expected she would sail with the Admiral above the let of January to visit the ,ships under his command. The . North Star also left at Bermuda his Majesty's ship Hyacinth 18, Commander R. M. Jackson.

The North Star was met off the Isle of Wight by the Thames steamer, belonging to time Dublin and London Steam Marine Company ; she had suffered gre it privations for upwards of ten days, being short of provisions, in conse quence of the number of souls on board. The Thames took her in tow, and brought her to Spithead. Com mander Colpoys of the Falcon hod been promoted to the rank of (acting) Captain and appointed to the Winchester vice Austen. Lieut. Smith, of the Victor, had been pro moted to the rank of (acting) Commander, and appointed to the Falcon, vice Colpoys. The Victor not having how ever arrived at Bermuda, Lieut.

Mr. Chetwood, mate of the Winchester, lad teen promoted to the rank of (acting) Lieutenant and appointed to the Victor, vice Smith. The North Star came into harbour on Thursday, to hare a new foremast and bowsprit, her present one having been sprung during a heavy gale. She will return, when her repairs shall have been com pleted, to the West India Station. Mr. Richards, Agent to the Hospital at Bermuda, having been re-appointed to that situation, will shortly return to resume the duties of that office. Lieut.

W. :—" We arrived at Madeira, an d anc h ore d in Funchal Roads on th e '7th inst. after a r oug h an d s t o rmy passage, having exp e ri ence d very heavy and violent gales of wind in the BAy of Biscay. We left Funchal on the 16th, and I fear we shall have a long passage to Baibadoes, as we have made but little pro gress during the last week, having been delayed by calms and light winds, which are so prevalent at this season oft' the Cape de Verd Islauds, and we see no chance of getting a trade-wind. I regret to tell you that when we crossed the line, while Neptune was performing the usual cere mony of shaving the raw hands, Miss Uniacke, niece to Sir George Hill, unfortunately fell on the quarter-deck, and broke her arm, but I ant glad to be able to add, she is now doing well. lk l Ir.

Their deatniation is not known, but it is con jectured that they will. proceed to the Scheldt, as a mea .ure of precaution, to enforce if necessary the accomplish 'nent of the late arrangement with regard to its free navi gation, which appears to have been very reluctantly con ented to by the King of Holland. His Majesty's ship Asia, 84, was commissioned on Mon lay by Lieut. Cole, for the Mediterranean station. We understand it is not intended that the newly-ap oointed Aides=de-camp to his Majesty of the Royal Ma rines shall receive each the I Os. 6d. per day as Aide-de camp, in addition to their full-pay as Lieut.-Colonels, but that some arrangement will be effected with a view to re• .luce the amount, which will nevertheless be something handsome in addition to their former pay. • We believe that the report mentioned in the papers some short time since of a contemplated reduction in the corps of Royal Marines, was entirely without foundation ; indeed we have reason to think that it is the intention of Government to increase this corps by five hundred. We thought it, we confess, extremely unlikely at the time we heard it mentioned, that, while the troops of the line were ordered to receive a considerable asginentation, one of the most gallant and efficient corps in the service would be reduced, and we are g lad. to find this is not to be the case.

THE PATENT THEATRES. The discussion respecting the extension of thea .rical iicenses, which has lately occupied so much if the time and attention of the Lord Chancellor and " yoke-fellows in equity," has asstimed amuch ess interesting shape than, from its nature, was to te expected. Until Sir Charles Wetherell was 'irought on the scene, at very nearly the conclusion if the arguments, nothing was said or done by the !earned persons engaged in the discussion, which it all compensated the crowds who were attracted 'o listen to the debate, or the far greater body of ieraons who looked with eagerness to the printed -eports. And even in Sir Charles 'Wetherell's ad- Iress, as it reads, there is not much to distinguish it from those of his fellow-labourers. To see it, would be another matter ; for a better comic actor than that gifted though eccentric personage, the stage cannot produce, and in his pantomime he is abso lutely without a rival. The cause of that dullness in the argument which has been its most remark ible feature is, that the advocates on all sides have carefully kept out of view that which forms its chief interest,—flee right: of the public, in the matter in dispute. The old renters and the new renters, the landlords and lessees, the creditors and incumbrancers of Covent-garden, and Drury-lane, and the Lyceum, and the Haymarket Theatres, may squabble as much us they will, and end their diffe rences just in the manner that shall seem best to themselves, without the great body of the public caring one straw about the upshot of their conten tion; and this the parties to the dispute know full well, for which reason they have wisely, in their ge neration, taken care to say as little as possible that may attract the public attention to that which the public are most concerned in attending to. The only rational ground upon which the right of enjoying such a privilege as any theatre can pre tend to must be, that it is the source of a public advantage or convenience. Whether they affect to furnish the public with mere amusement, or with the higher intellectual and moral pleasures which theatres, properly conducted, may, but do not, af ford, still the common good to be derived from them is the very foundation of their title. An tiquaries may please themselves, and tire their hearers, in narrating with painful accuracy the fri volous history of the circumstances under which the first patents were granted, and lawyers may discuss, according to the interests of their several clients, the application of such law as they can find to bear upon the rights which such patents may •be supposed to confer; but the public, who have a right to be heard upon'the matter, and who have the deepest sthke in the subject, will neither attend to the one, nor be bound by the other. For such law as there is in the matter at all, that may be safely left to the decision of the Judges, to whom the King has referred the petitions : all that has been said upon it at present seems to be little better than moonshine, and wholly beside the real question. The right of the public to have theatres in sufficient number, and of a proper description for the really useful and wholesome purposes of the drama, is not to be decided, and as little to be limited, by a re ference to the merits of the Court pimps of the reign of Charles the Second, or by such an inter pretation of the Royal prerogative (if there be, in this respect, any such prerogative) as would establish a monopoly in theatres wholly inconsistent with the law of ;he country as it respects every other thing that is produced for public use, and set up for public sale. All that the State has to do with theatres is, to take care, as a matter of police, that they are not made vehicles for public or private slanders, and that they are so regulated as, if they cannot mend, they shall at least do no injury to the public morals. Beyond this, neither the prerogative nor the Le gislature can have any reason to interfere with them. The rights of the public in the theatres extend, however, much further. For the contributions which they make to the support of those establish ments, and which, by the way, are ample even to prodigality, they have a right to expect that such entertainment shall be furnished as is worth the money they pay ;—that is to say, the best that can be procured. If this right is not rendered them, the theatres, as they exist, are too touch the debtors, the bankrupt debtors, of the public, to be heard for a moment in opposition to the demand for more and more suitable places for the representation of the drama. The slightest consideration of the sub ject will be sufficient to convince every one that the public pays extravagantly to the theatres. There is not a theatre now within the extensive range of the metropolis, that is not more or less a thriving concern. It may be said that tile two great theatres have been in difficulties, and if that fact were admit ted, even without any attempt at explanation, it would prove nothing, while the prosperity of the minor theatres is so strikingly apparent. The Adelphi and the Olympic theatres are tilled to the ceiling every night. The Tottenham-street theatre was flourishing enough to excite the envy and persecution of the patent play-house',—flourishing enough to provoke loud complaints from the late tenants when their tenancy was put an end to,—flourishing enough to induce a new manager to announce it for re-opening npon a more extensive plan, after (if his play-bills tell the truth) he has made a considerable outlay upon it. The Coburg and Sadlers' Wells theatres prosper so much, that they can and do afford to ad mit their audiences by means of tickets, which are distributed gratis, at about half the prices commonly demanded. But it may be said, Dewy-lane and Covent-garden have both been under notorious difii culties: of the first theatre two managers in succes sion have failed, and the latter was lately nearly brought to a stand-still in consequence of its embarass ments. The answer is, that Drury-lane has been encumbered with a very heavy debt, prodigally, if not dishonestly, contracted,—mismanaged by a committee, saddled with annuities to persons who have no more claim to them than the Ex-Dey of Algiers, with Acts of Parliament and law-suits, and exhausted by the copious bleedings of lawyers and other charlatans. Covent-garden has alga under gone the process of phlebotomy in the Court of Chancery for many years, and the proprietors and managers have been engaged in a bitter warfare against each other for the same period. The most profitable trade in the woild may be so carried on as to lead to bankruptcy, and the canse may perhaps be traced to the personal eoptliaet of show by whom it has been carried ohs,., At all events, when every other simi!ar shop is found to flourish—when the shops in question do more business than all, the others put together—and whtrt almost wirry body engaged in them is found to g:;ovs' rich, the failure of the princip a ls tr:zt be distinctly proved to have arisen from actual losses in their trade before the fault can be properly laid upon the trade itself. There are few actors of any eminence who do not enjoy quite us large, if not much larger, incomes - than physicians, painters, literary men, lawyers, or the members of any other profe,sions in which men's gains depend upon their talents and ocei tams Many living actors have retired it; tae passession of considerable wealth ; many who have not retired have saved fortunas ; and those who have not saved are spending or have spent ample incomes. Who would be heard to .argue from the failera of cer tain bankers that the trade of a banker is not a gainful ores r But-then it is saidlhe drama in Engl.ind has de clined. To be sure it has; and it is for that reason more than any other that the absurd. monopoly of theatres which now exists should he put an end to. MR. O'CONNELL.

It is because if a greater number of theatres oF . .maller dimensions were established in proper parts of this immense town, the drama would revive, that men qualified to contribute to it would eagerly devote their energies to that purpose; and that if they did not, the stores of acting pleys, old and modern, in which our dramatic literature is abundantly rich, would be relished by the public if those plays were presented in theatres where they could be heard tad understood, and the actors who would per form them could be seen, that we insist the case against a monopoly of the two overgrown theatres is most clearly made out. The ingenuity of the people connected with the theatres has been stretched to the utmost to invent some feasible rea sons for the falling off in the numbers of persons who resort thither. The feet of such a falling off is extremely questionable. Persons are found to resort notwithstanding all that is aid , : about late and he taste for the lighter productions of literatur e, and for music, to the dictates, we have before a:luded to, and in sufficient—more than sufficient—nui»bers, their merits being considered, to the larger theatres. But if these reasons be allowed all their weight, they are not sufficient to account for that of which they are supposed to be the camsea. If people wish to go to the- theatre, they will dine earlier; no per son—that is, no rational person—Hor any decent family, H an's to go to the theatre every night. If the public have truly such a taste for light literature and music as is ascribed to them, that is the taste of ell others which will lead them to the theatres ; and as the degree of talent necessary to produce an Agreeable romance would bring fortha tolerable drama, all that remains is to open a channel for the exercise of such talent, and who can doubt that it will flow in the direction of the theatres ? If, in deed, a competent author about to write shall dc bae with himself whether his work is to be a play or a novel, the balance will probably incline in fa vour of the latter; but why ? Because, if when his novel is finished, he takes it to a publisher, who finds it to possess sufficient merit, they agree upon the terms, and the author commits his wok to the press, and the affair is finished. If he takes his - play to the manager, he must make interest, have friends in the party behind the ,cures,—above all, he must have no enemies among the ingenious people who live by adapting and translating trumpery pieces from the French, and who are called, par ex cellence, the dramatists of the day, and who are usually entrusted to read the pieces offered for re presentation, a manager not being supposed capable of pronouncieg upon such a point himself. If his play be accepted, the author utmost render himself acceptable to the ladies and gentlemen actors and actresses, bend to their wishes, alter according to their caprice, and, if it he an opera, the matter is by so much the worse, that your singers, male and female, have nmre whims, and less intellect, than any other actors, and he has the composer to satisfy into the bargain. If it be at length played, and do not succeed, he has a great deal of trouble, in addi tion to that of having composed his work, and of a degrading and revolting kind, to no purpose. If it do succeed, the remuneration for a play, even at the highest rate, is not near so much as that which a successful nova l would command. If its utnount depend upon the run of the piece, the manager may stop that just when he pleaies; and if it be for a sum fixed, he may or may not obtain payment, the present state of the vrical matters making that by no means so certain us the receipt of the money at the doors ; while,T if he prints it, it may be pirat,d with impunity in every theatre from Linden to the Land's End ; and, whatever may be the profits of the representation, he is sure not to be a dolt the richer. Can it be wondered, then, that no man will write for the stage who can write any thing else fit to be read ? If, however, there were a greater number of theatres and of less extent, this evil would probably be remedied, and when dramatic anthers were placed upon a footing with other authors, the drama would, no doubt, have as many contributors as those branches of writing which are at present so in dustriously cultivated. But at all events the public would be better served. For operas, ballets, and spectacles, the two patent theatres are well enough suited; but it cannot be denied that they are wholly inadequate for any other dramatic purpose. All that is most valuable in acting is destroyed by them. That tone of level speaking which is essentially ne cessary in comedy, and a departure from which is an unpardonable fault in the actor, would be a whisper on the boards of Drnry-lane and Covent garden. Some of the most be.iutiful and effective passages in tragedy are those where the thought should be uttered in a low tone—the soft echo of a passion which is felt too deeply to be pronounced aloud; some of the most , triking sta:;e effects are produced by the variety and power of expvessUin in the actor's features ; —all these it is vain to ex pect in large theatres, and yet these minute strokes of art are those which distinguish good act ing from that of which we have too great an abundance. To see tire perfection of art which might be displayed in a small theatre, to hear the tine touches of poetry and wit, and satire, of which our Creme is full, and the like of which may again be produced, who can doubt that the intellectual public (tt body numerous enough to fill twenty proper sized theatres) would resort ? To sec the vicious exaggeration, to hear the turbulence and noise which an actor, to be bear(i ut all, must employ in the patent theatres, and which, is tte favourable to bad as it is mischievous to etiod acting, who can wander that the same descriptieu of persons go less frequently ? With the help of a good glass it may be possible, in the centre of either circle of the boxes, or at the back of the pit, to see the faces of tire actors; but to watch the changes of expression, —to catch the varying tones of the voice,—to seize the true spi r it o f th e scene , . quite impossible, even at that distance. The fortunate few who occupy the front rows of the pit and the front rows of the boxes nearest to the stage are those only who can be said to see the play; but the price they pay for this advantage is, that they must be exposed, in a greater degree than the rest of the audience, to it close observation of all the ex aggeration and falsehood of the representation, and all the faults which are occasioned by the violent and unnatural style of acting to which the present size of the theatres give rise. AD.:ether inconvenience resulting from the size of the theatres is, that the snore decent part of the audieuce,—thuse who, as the/ go only to see the performances, ought to have every possible accom modaticm,—have much to complain of. The dress boxes, as they are called (probably because gentle men in rough great coats redolent of tobacco-smoke come in and out of theist at all times), are so large that few private parties can occupy one entirely, and they are exposed theeetOre to the inconvenience of being mixed up with persons whour they do not know, or whom they, and every body else, do know, and who are its either case very objectionable companions even in a play-house. Above stairs the matter is a wee,: deal worse ; the beck rows of the second .;role of boxes are commonly filled with woenee, whose dress arid manners plainly indicate their calling, and who, by theineelyee or their friends, take cure to remove all doubt upon the eub jeet if any could exist.
