THE THEATRES, KING'S THEATRE.—This Theatre, on Satur day, drew nearly as numerous and certainly as elegant an audience as it has had through the season. The Opera was Il Barbiere di Seviglia, which was throughout admirably sustained, and the Ballet was Le Carnaval de Venise. They were both much applauded, and the, whole con c!uded some time before the episcopal limitation. HAYMARKET.— Our predictions respecting Miss PATON, as a Vocal Performer, were abun dandy justified by the extensive compass of her voice, the sweetness and power of its tones, and the science, taste, and clear articulation with which she gave all her songs. But we were not prepared for the merit which she exhibited as an Actress. She came forward on Saturday last us Susanna, in The Marriage of Figaro, and never was a first appearance more successful. A modest timidity naturally incident to such a situation marked her entrée, but was soon removed by the cheering encouragement of the audience, who completely filled the Theatre. She then entered upon the part with all the spirit and humour that might be expected from an experienced actress ; a full proof that she possesses such a good understand ing as enables her to form a critical estimate of character. Her reputation as a Concert Singer is well known, and she will now add to it that of an accomplished comic Actress. Her action was easy, playful, and appropriate. She intro cluced the beautiful and poptilar air of " Bid me discourse," which. she sung with such taste, ex pression, and facility, as to call for an universal encore. Altogether her reception was so ardent and well-merited as to induce the Manager to announce a repetition of her performance this, evening.—JoNEs in the Count, and LisToN in Figaro, were all that could be desired ; and Mrs. CHATTERL EY was sufficiently arch and vivacious in the part of the Page. ENGLISH OPERA. IJousE. The Opera of Frederick the Great was well attended on Satur day last, and on its close Mr. BARTLEY came forward and addressed the audience in the fol lowing speech, which he delivered with such an expression of genuine regret for the loss of poor EM Y, and of concern for the situation of his unfortunate family, as obviously excited general sympathy and consequent applause : " LADIES AND GENT LEMEN,—On Monday evening there will. be no performance at this theatre, the proprietor having re solved to close the house, to enable all the members of this establishment to lend their gratuitous assistance at Covent-Gar den, for the benefit of the Widow and Children of the late Mr. John Emery. The performances will be Sheridan's comedy of the Rivals ; an address written by Mr. Coleman; a concert, com bining the vocal strength of all the London theatres; 'and the fa vourite after-piece of Belles without Beaux. Anxious as every member of this profession has appeared to advance the interests of this benevolent undertaking, the performers of this theatre may be said to be doubly solicitous; nor will that solicitude be wonder ed at, when it is remembered that it was on these boards, Nit a feu: nights ago, that this great and inimitable actor finally ter minated his professional labours ! We feel as if we had been suddenly deprived of a brother ! and we therefore hope we shall be pardoned, if we take every possible opportunity of drawing the attention 'of a generous and munificent public to an under . taking devoted to the relief of the widow and the fatherless !" BRITISH THEATRE AT PARIS.--Mr. PENLEY'i attempt to open the theatre of the Port St. Martin at Paris, with English plays and Eng- lish performers, has met with the most de cided opposition. We extract from the Quo titlienne the following particulars of the first performance on Wednesday esening last of Othello; and we perceive, with much satisfac tion, that the public press does not participate in the unkind and illiberal feeling of the audience on that occasion : The Qztothlienne says, " That the moment the curtain was raised for the representation of Othello in English, the house resounded with the cries and hisses of those who fill ed the pit and a part of the boxes. The performers of %lr. Penley's company could not utter a word which was not drowned by vociterations and by clamour, in ite of all the efforts made by authority to preserve order. The most scan dalous insults, the •grossest epithets, were lavished on those stranger artists, by an audience who pretend to belong to the most polite nation in Europe. Thus forced to play in pantomime one of the master pieces of Shakspeare, the performers bowed to the storm with a resignation which should have disarmed the authors of this scandal, but the groans and hisses continued without intermission through, every scene until the curtain was let down. Thus has an evening termi nated where a most brilliant company graced the first boxes with the hope of being agreeably entertained, and perhaps of finding additional reasons to appreciate the chef d'ccurre of the English drama. But national pride has condemned without giving a hearing. No doubt hut the French artists at present in London, who there find a more hospitable reception, will not thank those champions who have participated in this grand exploit." NEW SOUTH WALES.-The disrespectful man ner in which John Bull introduces to the notice of the public the name of Mr. BIGG, is very dis creditable to the Editor of that paper. Mr. BIGG is descended from an ancient family in Northumberland, and possessed of considerable landed property in that county, and is a Bar rister. He is highly esteemed for his extensive learning and literary attainments, and is greatly beloved for the kindness of his disposition and general conduct. He is a man of unimpeached inte g rity, and though h e MAY b e a W HIG , as stated by John Bull, he was selected by the Earl BATHURST for the important mission of in quiring into the state of New South Wales, and it is universally admitted that he has executed, ith fidelity and impartiality, the trust com mitted to his charge. We have seen recent letters from India, which state that the Glasgow frigate, Capt. B. C. DOYLE, had arrived at Calcutta, to embark the Marquis of HASTINGS and suite, and that that ship will also bring to England 55 lacs of rupees in silver (the almost incredible sum of 2,750,0000; and that the Ganges, new teak 80 gunship, Captain F. A. COLLIER, C. 8., would shortly sail for England, from Bombay, with the 65th regiment on board, and 45 lacs of rupees, about 2,250,000/., on account of the Hon. East India Company and other British Merchants.—Hampshire Telegraph. By the new Commercial Treaty between the United States and France, which permits the ships of both nations to enter the ports of each other on reciprocal terms, after the Ist of Octo ber, American ships will be released from the necessity of coming to this port and Cowes, to re-ship their cargoes for Ilavre-de-Grace into French bottoms. Above thirty vessels did this at Cowes, pending the negociations.—(Ports mouth Paper.) The Lords of the Treasury have sent an order to Mr. THACKER, the Keeper of Whitecross street prion, to discharge Mr. BUTT. TIIE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. The arrangements for his MASEST Z'S visit to Scotland are now completed ; he will leave town on Friday morning next. Within the last week large quantities of baggage bell tinging r.o the royal suite were embarked on board the James Watt and another steam packet, which l-,ave sailed for Leith. The smacks were also similarly laden. The two steam vessels from Scotland, now in the river, did not sail yesterday according to custom ; one of them (the Tourist) is engaged by his Majesty, and will attend- the royal squadron for the King's use, should unfavourable or cairn weather obstruct the Sailing of the royal yacht, as was the case last year in the Irish Channel. The other steam vessel, which is crowded with passengers, many of them personages of rank, will also sail with the royal squadron, though not officially in attendance. The smacks which sail early in the week are all full of passengers, and the utmost bustle prevails in the Glasgow and Leith wharfs.— The King's yacht, the Royal George, is arrived off Greenwich Hospital, and the stores, &c. for his Majesty'S voyage to Leith, are putting on board. The Royal Sovereign yacht, Captain Adam, and the Prince Regent yacht, Captain Sir Michael Sey mour, with the Plixton and Egeria frigates, and Cameleon sloop of war, are already at the Nore, and there- await the arrival. of his Majesty. It is reported, however; that his Majesty will embark at Southend, in Essex, and not at Greenwich, as was at first mentioned. The squadron of frigates appointed to attend the King will remain at the Nore, where they will be joined by the Royal yacht.— Several pleasure yachts, and among the rest Sir William Cur tis's, will sail in company. It i s not his Majesty's intention to hold any communication with the coast on his voyage • but to proceedMirectly to Leith, an d •to land- and enter Edinburgh in state, on the day subsequent t o hi s cas tin g anc h or i n t h e F r i t h of, iorth. His public •entry will,•it is,expected, take place on ISrednesday, the 14th instant, and his stay in the Scottish capi tal will, if possible, be limited to twelve days. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 3.—Commodore the Honourable Sir Charles Paget proceeded to London .on Mo n d a y l as t, to pay his respects to his Majesty, and await his com mands, with respect to the Royal -Squadron ; and the Royal George Yacht, • Captain Mingay, • sailed with the Calliope and Carnelian tenders, that - Morning, for the Nore. The Princ e R egen t Yach t , Si r M. Seymour, K.C.B. and the Royal Sovereign Yacht, Captain Charles Adam, have joined the Royal Squadron.—On ThurSday the Hon. Sir George Grey, Bt. K.C.B. sailed in his Yacht, for Greenwich. It is be lived the venerable Earl St. Vincent has determined to embark in the Yacht, with his former gallant companion in arms, and' hoist the Union (as Admiral of the Fleet), to pay his respects to his Majesty on his leaving the British shores for Scotland.— On Thursday the Royal George was towed up to Greenwich, by a steam-boat; and the Forte, Sir T. Cochrane, sailed that morning from the Nor; for Leith, with the - Secretary of State for the Home Department (the Right Hon. R. Peel), and the Lord Chamberlain of the Household (the Marquis of Conyng ham) on board, together with their respective suite and bag gage, consisting of plate and necessaries for the Royal use at Edinburgh. From the Edinburgh Courant, August 1.) It is understood that one or the earliest objects which may be expected to attract his Majesty's attention, is a visit to the Castle. This is to be paid with all the pomp and circumstance of royalty ; and as it may be thought that the arrangements of this day will, in their general outline, serve as a model for all the after proceedings of the same splendid description, we shall describe them fully. The King will proceed from his palace of Holyrood-house in an open carriage, drawn at the slowest possi ble pace, the Scottish Regalia carried before him, those venera ble symbols of long-cherished national independence,attended by a numerous and noble train, consisting of his great officers, and other personages, distinguished for rank or official station. His Majesty will pass up the Canongate, High-street, and Lawn market, betwixt two lines of his -subjects,, disposed, under, certain arrangements aad classifications, on each side of the streets leading to the Castle, and who are to remain firm on their post, in order again to enjoy a sight of their Stivereign, as he returns from the Castle to the Abbey,— These arrangements appear to be made with admirable taste, and to be calculated to produce the most splendid and impressive effect.—From the Palace up to the com mencement of the High -street, the Canongate is to be lined by its own inhabitants, and those of its ancient Ally, Leith. Along the High-street, as far as the Lawn-market, the incor porated crafts axe to be drawn up on both sides, displaying, as in ancient times, their banners, and disposed under their Several Deacons ; the whole under command Of the - Deacon Convener, with the blue blanket, which is said to have seen the holy wars. At the Cross, a platform is to be erected for the whole body of the Magistracy, in their robes, headed by the Right Honour able the Lord Provost, and attended by their officers.— Upon the balcony of the Royal Exchange, opposite, another plat form is to be raised, which is to contain what may be regarded as the representative of Scottish beauty—in the persons of several hundreds of the finest women in Scotland; these . are to be admitted by tickets from the Lord Provost. Other galleries for the same purpose will be erected elsewhere. The clergy are to occupy an erection in front of St. Giles's Church. The open space before the County Rooms, properly levelled for the occasion, is to have a stage fur the accommodation of the Judges of the four high courts, of Session, Justiciary, Exchequer, and Jury, attended by the members of the Faculty of Advocates, and other legal bodies. From the Lawnmarket, as high as the Castle hill, the street is to be lined, pn one side, by gentlemen of the neighbouring counties, with their Lord Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants ; and, on the other, by the Professors of the Col kge, the Rector and Masters of the High School, and other Academies of the city ;—the boys wearing silk sashes and Scot-', tish bonnets ; as well as by other classes of inhabitants ranged under their legal or conventional leaders. The Castlehill is to be guarded by a large body of Highlanders in .complete na tional costume, through whom the royal procession is to pass into the Castle. It is understood that his Majesty will return to the Abbey in the same order. If these arrangements are carried into complete effect and supported (for that is the great matter) by the good sense and orderliness of the people, we think it im possible to conceive a more magnificent and exhilarating re sult than must arise from them. They have been so contrived, that his Majesty will, on this occasion, have a full view of all the various classes of his subjects, while, at the same moment, they will have the most Hill and gratifying sight of their Prince. But we need hardly say, that the whole effect of the day must depend upon this single point : If the crowd become for a moment unsteady or tumultuous ; if once they break their front rank, that is, the line of the constituted bodies ; ,if ever they begin to shoulder, and press, and squeeze, and riot, the whole goodly display will sink at once into disorganisation and ' confusion, and even the very object of the unseemly tumult will be lost, for it is clear that the most blackguard and insolent would engross the spectacle to themselves,' while the great body of the community would be thrown into the .rear of this rabble, unseeing and unseen. If, on th e oth er h an d, t h e in tended is preserved, the populace will havean opportunity of seeing his Majesty twice, in going to the Castle and in returning. The .very chaff - Pr of the nation is concernedhere. Our gracious King throw: onself, as it were, into - the arms of his people. He has no guards, but their love ; no security, but their sound sense and manly respect. Scotland and Scotchuien are altogether a new subject for his observation._ We have not the hearty, though boisterous, bearing of John Bull, nor any portion of the wild eccentricity of Ire land's loyalty ; but we have . our own firm, bold, and manly character, and, displaying this, as_ it is our duty and should he our pride to display it, we feel confident - that the King will regard us as neither the lowest in his love nor the last in his esteem. A htige bonfire is to be lighted on Arthur's Seat, the night which succeedi the royal arrival. As a proof of the loyalty of our fair countrywomen, the ladies of Edinburgh and its vicinity, meaning by that phrase the noblest and most accomplished women of the land, have united to pre pare a splendid St. Andrew's cross for his Majesty, composed of Scottish pearls and brilliants, which is to be presented to the King, before his landing, by Sir Walter Scott. We understand, this fair bevy have been termed " Sisters of the Silver Cross." An extraordinary meeting of the Commission of the Ge.?Cral Assembly has been summoned for the purpose of addressing the King on his arrival in this country. It is proposed that this address should be presented by the whole body, and confi dent expectations are entertained that his Majesty will receive it on the Throne. To use any argument for inducing a nume rous attendance of the Clergy on such an occasion, as if there could be a doubt upon the subject, . would be a libel on that ar dent loyalty for which the Church of Scotland has ever been dis tinguished. It may, however, be proper to warn clergymen at a distance that there is a certain costume necessary for admission into the presence of royalty. Every clergyman should, if possible, bring with him a gown, which cannot be dispensed with. As a few days will probably elapse betwixt the meeting of the Commission and the arrival of the King, the other articles of dress can easily be obtained. We learn that the Convenery of the Trades of Leith have forwarded to London a petition to be presented to his Majesty, praying his Majesty to disembark at Leith.—So great is the demand for tailors at present, that, al though three hundred names were registered at the House of Call of men out of employment on Monday week, not a hand could be procured on Thursday last, only three days thereafter.

Preparations have been making by ten men cooks, besides women, since Friday morning. The party will amount to about 300. On Saturday, the Marquis of Londonderry gave a grand en tertainment to a numerous assemblage of persons of distinc tion, at his seat, North Cray, Kent. On Wednesday, the Earl of Liverpool gave a dinner to the Cabinet Ministers. This was expected to be the last Cabinet dinner which will be given this season. Yesterday Viscount Sidmouth had a select party to dinner at Richmond Park. The Dowager Duchess cf Richmond entertained a select party to dinner on Saturday, at her houSe, Waterloo-place. Lady Smith had a dinner party yesterday, at her house in Piccadilly. . _ Lord 'Melbourne will give a turtle dinner G7l Wednesday next to a distinguished party, at his house, Whitehall. Mrs. Fitzherbcrt entertains a large party to dinner this day, at her house in Tilney-street; and in the evening gives a rout. Count and Countess Lieven entertained a 'distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at Richmond. TIIE PARK AND THE GARDENS. Yesterday was a delightful day : it invited ev::ry - one abroad. Hyde Park at five displayed many a coronet, and many hand some new barouches, a fine shew of spirited horses in cabriolets, and a few in curricles and dennets.—Nothing new in fashion, except the gradual decay of flowers to the ladies' dresses The small bonnets increase : shortly the monstrous large ones will be all exploded. The ladies of the foreign Ministers appear to have adopted these improvements.—The promenaders in Ken sington Gardena were few in number. A matrimonial union is about to take place bet Ween Lord Mandeville, eldest son of the Duke of Manchester, and Mis s Sparrow, of Huntingdonshire, who is heiress to an entailed estate of twelve thousand pounds per annum. It is the Hon. Mr. John Russell, R.N. who is about to lead Miss Coussmaker to the altar. and not Lord John Russell.— The lady is heiress of all the 'De Clifford estates. A young lady of considerable fortune eloped last week from Radnorshire with a young military officer ; they were pursued by the intended bride's father, and overtaken at Llandilo, and the young lady taken home again, to the great mortification of her lover.

On Thursday last a Grand Match of Cricket was commenced between the young Gentlemen of Eton and Harrow, at LORD'S Ground, St. John's Wood, Marylebone, which terminated on Friday, in favour of Harrow, by eighty-six runs. The Ground on Thursday afterno6n was crowded with the friends of the parties. We should conclude that nearly all the young Gen tlemen of the two Schools were present, as well as the principal part of their relatives and old schoolfellows, all anxiously inte rested for the success of their respective schools. Among the Fashionables present we noticed— The Duke of Manchester, Lord and Lady Blesinton, Lords Cowper, Burghersh, and Jersey (the latter with his sons :) Sir Wm. Call, Messrs. Baring, Barnett, &c. and nearly all the Members of the Marylebone Club. The following were the numbers : HARROW.

Since have been here, 14 days, a great many Greeks have lost their heads : they are taken from their houses, and their heads cut off before their own doors ; they are then stripped, and laid with their heads upon their bodies, for three days ;, after which they are thrown into the harbour. The streets being very narrow, I have • been obliged to step over many lying in that state daily."—Ottrham Advertiser, Aug. 2.) THE LATE MR. EMERY.—A subscription-book has been voluntarily opened at 50 public-houses. Mrs. Henry Johnson brought the Committee 271. Mrs. Salmon not being able to sing, forwarded 5 guineas ; Mrs. Gibbs 2 guineas ;• Pyne a guinea, &c. Lord Fife has sent 10 guineas. Madame Vestris has volunteered to sing one of her most favourite songs. SHELI,EY, THE PoyT.—This Gentleman, whose poetical talents were of a very high order, but lamentably perverted in their direction, pe rished at sea on the Bth ult. in a storm, on the coast of Italy, near Leghorn. His friend, Capt. WILLIAMS, of the Fusileers, shared the same fate with him. Both of these Gentlemen have left wives and children to lament their loss. IRELAND.

Extract from a Meteorological Journal for July, 1822, kept at Me Observatory of the Academy, Gosport : " This month has been alternately dry and wet„tecompa nied with strong gales of wind,. lightning, and thunder ; and what is more remarkable the maximum and medium tempera tures of the air fall short of those of last month, the latter by nine-tenths of a degree ' - the heat at the earth's s ur f ace having been diminished by the heavy rains, which amount to between four and five inches in depth. But after so dry a winter and spring, these copious falls of rain have evidently been of the utmost benefit to the growing corn, to the grass lands, and to vegetation in general. Although the mean tem perature of the air has been retrogade this month, in com parison of last, yet it is nearly five degrees higher than in July 1821. The barometer began to sink rapidly on the I lth in stant, and has continued much below its mean height since the 15th. The evaporation too is less this month than last by two one-fifth inches. The lightning in the night of the 18th was almost as strong as that in the night of the 4th, when the Albion's masts and the Sheer-hulk were damaged ir. Portsmouth harbour. It appeared to have been brougl t on by nearly opposite winds of different temperatures, by . which means large thunder clouds were - gener_ted these black and apparently unctions clouds were - interspersed over the visible hemisphere in the evening (18th), when they began to discharge their electrical contents during twilight ; and at nine o'clock the forked lightning was succeeded by four cr five claps of thunder, with awful and irregular detonations, which seemed to travel a great distance before the vibrations of the atmosphere ceased, accompanied by a smart show,:r of rain. The variegated lightning from the passing clouds to the N.W. was discharged in quick succession throughout the night. some times in the shape of long trains of small balls of fire; but most ly in extensive sheets, whose light was not far short of day -light. " The wheat harvest commenced.in this neighbourhood the first week in July, which is earlier than we ever remember reap ing here, and about three weeks sooner than in 'the hot summer of 1818. Its progress, however, was impeded by several wet days. The crops are said to be abundant, and of good quality ; and the barleys will be much improved .by-the warm showers. " The atmospheric and ni t :one plicenlniera that have come within our observation this month are, 1 anthelion in the after noon of the 12th, 2 parhelia at 7 A. M. of the 4th, 9 solar halos, 1 rainbow, 4 meteors, vivid - lightning in the nights of ,the 4th and.lBth, thunder on five different days,. and .eleven gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed—namely, one from S.E., nine from S.W., and nnefroca the West. .

MARRIAGE.--The Duke de Nivernois was ac quainted with the Countess de Rochefor!, and never omitted go ing to see her a single evening., As she was a widow, and he a widower, one of his friends observed to him, it would he more convenient to him to marry that lady.

Twix BIRTIIS.—A poor woman named Smith, of Stoke Doyle, near Oundle, was 18 months ago brought to bed of twins, a fine boy and girl; and about five weeks ago she was delivered of two fine boys ; all of them alive, and. fine healthy looking children.

She was so well as to be able (stern necessity compelling her) to be up at the wash tub the whole of the fourth day after her last delivery I Yesterday, pursuant to a sentence of the High Court of Jus ticiary, Beatson, David Beatson, ,jun., and Robot.
