MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN. 'I"W..-- . . . . Ilis 111.LrE;S•ix having signified his intention to visit this Theatre- yesterday,' an immense con course filled the aVenties at an early hour. EVery seat: in every box conimanding Mit a glimpse of that -whieli'the•Kixo, was to occupy had previ otisly been taken, and every box hi the hotiSe was crowded to an overflow long before the corn theocetnent of the 'PIaY. • Nor was this all . ; the glassof each dOor that loOked towards the_ stage box Was struggled • for by tiro or three •'more strirdy combatants, ao:1 in some places where some favoured • individual had been accommodat ed with a chair at the outside of a box, he had• the mortification to find that his situation, which, from its ineligibility, at first appeared secure wa soon taken possession of by new Comers, Whohad not grace and good manners etiotigh . to acknow ledge the authority of the Chairman. The Gal leri-es and Pit were Crowded •to their extremest Jimits, and the most eager expectation was ob servable in all parts of the house, which frequent ly manifested itself - in loud !mitts. Exactly at seven o'clock the KING arrived, and was received as a patriot Monarch ought to be received by the people of his care. Louder acclamations never burst froth exulting thou sands within the walls o- a theatre. Not the Secoad CHARLES, when triumphant over a puri-: tanical Clid usurping faction---not WILLIAm, when he first took his se - at ,on-the throne of-an abdicating bigot,--not the first.alonarch of the Brunswick.line, when a gratified nation rejoiced that the conspirators against their peace were defeated by his happy accession, could be 'receiv ed with more boundless, ent. iasrn—with more fervent shouts of loyal gratulation than resounded from every part_of this immense edifice, when the generous—the injured, the calumniated GEORGE . the FOURTH, presented himself yesterday to the gaze of his expectant subjects. Loud linizas, often repeated made it impossible to -hear the vocalists., who now came forward to : l ing God save the King." Handkerchiefs Were seen waving in every direction, and a white placard was low ered from the uppermost boxes :with the words " Long live George the FoUrth, huzza!" and triumphantly exhibited for some time amidst the shouts of all present. - The unanimity which pre- Vailed seemed to inditate a disposition to prove that -EngliShmen are no longer to be misled—and that 'they are anxious to atone for the error commit ted- in suffering ignorant slander and groundless reproach to be heard elsewhere—Lit seemed (con , necting this scene as the mind naturally will With the division of yesterday morning,) intended to teach faction a memorable lesson,. and to prove to all thp world, that on one question at least,.the House of Commons speaks the sense of the British People. The stage-box was fitted up with appropriate splendour for the ..reception of the Royal .Visitants.• A crimson canopy, edged with gold, and surmounted by a Royal crown, was over the box, and in front the crimson drapery, gathered up in festoons, was ornamented with the KING'S Arms. A Yeoman of the Guard, holding his par tizan, stood, according to the ancient - custom, on each Side of the Royal Box; one being on the Stage, the other elevated a little above the Pit. Those who performed this duty were relieved several times in the course of the evening. The box immediately over the. stage box, was assign edto a part of his MAIEOTY'S Suite. The sound of music without announced the arrival of his Majesty at the precise minute which usually witnesses the commencement of the play. He was accompanied by the Dukes of YORK and CLARENCE. The KING and theCOMMANDER-IN CHIEF were in scarlet regimentals; the Duke of CLARENCE wore a naval unifofm. They were attended by seven or eight Noblemen. His MA JESTY took his seat between his Royal Brothers, the Duke of 'Vont( being on his right, the Duke of CLARENCE on his left. The Lord in Waiting remained standing during the whole of the per formance. On entering his box his MAJESTY seemed much affected by the cordial greeting he received. lie bowed repeatedly in return. " God .save the King" was then sung. Many of the audience joined in the chorus, and each stanza called forth the most rapturous applause. The moment it ' finished a general cry of " encore" was.heard, and it was sung a . second time. The play they commenced.—A, weak attempt was made to in terrupt the performance by Some despicable Ra dical who had not been able to Make his voice heard before, and the exclamation . of " The Queen for ever" proceeded from the Gallery. Two or three supported the cry but it was . drowned in shouts of indignant applause, which may fairly be called universal, for the insigniti , cance of the mal-contents as such, that it would be the height of folly . to regard them as having effected a division. It served but to make the triumph of the . night complete, and only gave some idea of the faint writhings of an expiring serpent. His MAJESTY paid great attention to the per formance, and especially to the musical part of it. On this subject he frequently conversed with his right and left hand supporters. lie often ap plauded the performers, and cheered them in se veral instances with the exclamation of " Bravo !" Sometimes he used his glass to loOk round the house. lie recognized the occupant of one of . the private boxes on the opposite side of the house, and saluted the party with much affability and condescension, at the same time directing the attention of the Duke of YoaK to the individual thus honoured. Between the acts he occasionally stood, always bowing to the plaudits whiCh were reiterated at every - interval, and .frequently placing his hand on his heart while doing so. At the end of the play, " Rule Britannia" was . suncr: MS MAJESTY joined in the Chorus, - and listened to the whole with evident gratification. •The „singers, were retiring, when " God save the King" was again called for. The demand was vehemently enforced, and• the singers ',returned. When they got through the lines= • "'Scatter his enemies • And makethem 614", the thunders of applause which burst fOrth made every tiling - else inanilible." The firit line's Of the last stanza-- " Thy 'choicest gifts in stop: - On GEolt,c.t be pfrasefi to Pour; .

The audience began to separate, when the few individuais. who had before. attempted to create a disturbance, again sucCeeded in making themselves. heard.: They were, however, in stantly put down, and,. ashanied Of their own insignificance, soon withdrew, and the hoUse was cleared. . . • _ [n3 11111E13.

His Ma jesty - appeared in excellent health ; he wore a Field ; Marshal's uniform.---Au ele gant new carpet ,was laid. from the King's car riage to the stairs. Two large candles in sil ver candlesticks were provided for the Lord Chamberlain to light the King., Mr. Harris and Mr. Charles Kemble, two of the Proprietors_, Mr. Fawcett, the Stage Manager, and Mr. Brandon, the Boxkeeper, were in readiness, to receive his Majesty with every mark of respect ; the three former in full CO'urt dresses. P 0 E T ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT. Sweet Child, go harmless to the shades, of death, In one short pang resign thy parting breath; Yield thy sweet beauties to the rotten grave, And sweeter lavish Nature never ave. Alas ! dear. MAURICE, art thou thisalto more ? Is all thy wanton winning pratle o'er ? Shall then that roseate hue no more return ? No more that breast with little ardour burn ? No more tho . se gay, those glittering eyes, impart Resistless pleasure to each feeling heart ? Alas I.' no more----that face'is all decay'd, Where Innocence with infant Genius play'd In pleasing sport, and form'd with many a wile, 'The pouting lip, or wreath'd the wanton smile. He smiles no more, no more the power within Inspires his looks, or animates his mien, InfOrms his steps, awakes his fond grimate, His Mimic gravity, and genuine grace ; 'Tis fled, not perisli'd:--Can that power decay Which waked to active life the senseless clay ? Which in a baby's eye conspictiou - s sh6e, Though all untaught, and to itself unknown, Nor waiting for the sense's lingering aid • Its energy divine at once display'd ? 'Tis fled, not perish;tl—,loos'd from sordid ties, All joyful to its nativeslimes it flies. - Nor bears one human, stain, nor feels above, One human thought,. but of its Mother's love.

Mr. PRENDERGRASS was heard on behirlf of the defendant Maddox, and Mr. Edmonds and Mr. Wooier severally -addressed the Court in person. Every thing that zeal, learning, and eloquence could bring in aid of the case, , was evinced in support of the argument. The three 'several grounds of objection discussed originally, were brought ,under the consideration of the Court. It was contended, first, that the array of a Special Jury might be challenged, on _the ground that one.of them had no t b een duly sum moned ; second-, that the Panel had,been impro perly selected by the,Master of the Crown-office, instead of being taken indifferently ; and third, that Special Jurymen might be asked before they came to the book to be sworn, whether they had previously expressed any opinion uufavour able to the defendants. The Cot] LIT said, that as some of .the-questions pow raised, had been -for .the first time brought under consideration, they -would take time to de liberate before they gave judgment, inasmuch as it was a subject of great public importance, and die case Might become a precedent in future.
