V-ith the Princess Charlotte of Wales, the
Prince Regent; lull. the Duke of:Clarence, yester-
•
day inspected Drar,7- lane Theatre.. • A daa6h:.
anent of the IFOot Caico.ds arrived a little l'efore
ten o'clock, and were stationed on 'the outside of
the grand) entrance in Brydges-street. A party
of the Police OfficerS, conducted by Messrs. "Town-
,
scud and Sayers, also attended to, preserve order,,
and keep of the populace. Sobirafter ten o'elock
her Majesty arrived, 'and was conducted from her
carriage•to the hox-lobby by the Prince ,Regent,
assisted by Mr. Vincent. The Princesses:, Mary
and Augusta were conducted by General
Mond and Major 'Price. The 'Princess Charlotte
of Wales was tuhered into the Theatre by the
• Duke of Clarence.' Ladies lichester, Cardigan,
and J. Thynrie, were in attendance on the Queen
and Princesses.
The Royal Party werereceive&in the box-lobby
by the Right Colonel. M`Malion„. Mr. B.
Wyatt, the Arch, .:et of the Theatre ; Mr. Ward,
Secretary fo the Committee ; Mr. Arnold, the Ma-
nager of the Theatre, and conducted to the grand
saloon, whence they proceeded -by the superb
Staircase to, the boxes, and' viewed the rooms ap-
propriated to the Royal Family; they next' exa-
mined the Prince Regent's private box, and then
proceededbythe avenuesleadiag to the Pit ; across
the orchestra a platform was made expressly for,
the occasion, by which the Royal Family went on
the stage. The box-lobby, and all the 1, .!nues
leading to thte stage, were covered with beautiful
crimson Turkey carpeting, which extended from
the street to the interior of the Theatre.
The Moment the Royal. Family made' their ap-
/
pearatice on the stage, the workmen, who were
stationed in the galleries (the avenues having been
entirely cleared, and no person permitted to enter
the Theatre daring the Royal visit), greeted the
loyal Family with three cheers.. The Royal Party
appeared much gratified at this manifestation of
respect ; they all bowed7--and her Majesty said,—
" I thank you."
Mr. Greenwood, the scene-painter, was intro-
duced to the Queen and Royal Party.. The whOle
of the scenery painted by him. was exhibited, and
much praift. was bestowed on the works of this
excellent artist. The entire stage, including all.
the intricate machinery attached to it, was shorn'
to the Royal Party by Mr. Leonard Drory, the
master carpenter, who explained the uses of the
various apparatus. The Royal Family expressed
their admiration of every part of the Theatrc.--,
• The Queen, particularly, observed to-Mr. Wyatt,
that she was never more highly gratified by the
inspection of any, theatrical edifice, and, in coin,.
mon with the other branches of the Royal Fa-
mily paid the architect many handsome com-
pliments.
The windows of the Theatre were closed
'this occasion; and the interior being brilliantly
lighted' up,. a perfect idea was given of the ap-
pearance which the House will present on the first
right of.performance. The new contrivance, in-
vented by Colonel Congreve, for supplying the
'Theatre with water, as well for general purposes
as to afford effectual security against the calamity
of fire, was particularly admired. Having exa-
mined minutely every thing worthy of observa,
tion, the Queen and PrincesSes were reconducted
to their carriages a little before twelve o'clock.
While the Royal Family were viewing the inte-
rior of the Theatre, the whole of their domestics,
the Police Officers, and the soldiery; were enter=
. tamed at Mr. Billines, in Woburnstrect, by or-
der of Mr.. Ward, Secretary to the Committee.—
Mr. Spring, the box-book keeper, and Mr. Fair.;
brothe=r, the. housekeeper; attended the Royal
Party with lights. The whole business was con-
ducted in a 'manner which reflects great credit on
- those to whom its management Was entrusted.
Her Majesty sat in one of the stage-chairs,
placed on the stage, and the Prince appeaeed to
receive great sttisfactionon'N'ieting.the box made
for his reception.
Her Majesty and the Royal Party having left
the Theatre, arrived at Carlton House at half-'
past eleven o'clock, and wetejoined at breakfast
by hiS Royal Highness the Duke of York at one.
At half past two the Queen and' Princesses set off
from Carlton House for Windsor, escorted by a
party of Light Horse.

Tim THEATRE .—MISS MARRIOT last night as-
sumed the arduous part of Lady Macbeth at. Co-
rent-Garden Theatre. The play is too excellent
and too popular to be laid aside, and therefore
the Managers arc to be excused for bringing it
forward, though. they have.lost the great Heroine
of the piece. Upon this principle Miss MARnioT,
who succeeded to the character, is entitled to
much indulgence, as she is, of course, obliged to
obey the command of her superiors; and as there
is no other ,actress, at this Theatre, who has equal
pretensions. Mrs. SmooN.s..so completely embodied
the part, that her SileCeSSOr bad nothing to do but to
keep that great example in her mind. Miss MA ainoT
-did so, and she fell short, because not equally
gifted with mental and external powers. But her
performance was very respectable, and when She
more practised in the part, and more free from
the fear . of suffering by comparison, her Lady
Macbeth will, we doubt not, be a very effective
performance; and entitled to critical appro-
bation.7-,Mr. YOUNG was the Macbeth. He
seemed to he solicitous to avoid the manner of
.11r. ..fi'ziNtaLE but as. Mr. KEmBLE's representa-
tion Of the part was founded.upon deep study, and
was mellowed by long practice, Mr. YOUNG might
have adhered more to the outline, and have trust-
ed to , his own good sense and native energy to
supply an original cclour;og. His performance,
however, was' judicious, and. in some parts inge-
nious, We, however, disapprove of one new
reading, which was marked by the following
em-
phasis

" Is this a dagger which I see hefore me ?" •
The emphasis. should assuredly have been, en
dagger, for otherwise it might have been laid on
any other member of the senterice. Mr. C.
XEMBLE'S Macciuff was admirable, 'An objection
has been made against his.falling into the arms of
Mateo/m, on hearing of. the slaughter of his wife
and children, as not eonsistent with a hero ; but
-L'}-tAkEsPEAREdrew a Man and Parent, horiiibly
bereft of all wheal he loved.

.
. hundred and fifty sick and wounded, from
_the army in Spain, have been landed at Plymouth
and conveyed to the Royal Military Hospital,
which is comfortably fitted up for their recep-

well.

A letter from Madrid says—" The. Marquis of
Wdllington is in the greatest favour with the Spa-
niards : his simplicity of living and gravity delight
them. It was proposed that there should be a
grand masquerade ; but as some of the old fami-
lies said this' Was one of the French innovations
Which had tended. so much to ruin their Morals,
the Duc de Rodrigo set his face against it, and
there was no masquerade. His Lordship, how-
ever; • gaVe a most splendid ball and supper in the
palace : the state servants waited upon the com-
pany, the state apartments were all lighted up,
and every thing 'found in The same splendour as
when the Royal Family of Spain, or more' late,
ly,: Joseph and his Court, possessed the palace,
where, the Marquis of . Wellington now resides.
One change there was—the EngliSh Foot Guards
',were seen at the avenues to' the Palace, and at the
'iiiiierent'landing places of the grand staircase. In
the rooms, all were presented to the Duc de Rod.-
rigo, who was very courteous to ally. His Lord-
ship was plainly dressed in his Generar.s uniform,
with blue cloth pantaloons. It Is' certainly a
novelty to see the parades of, English troops in
different quarters of this capital=—English m usi-
dans, and English airs ;- but the Spaniards con-
tinue to be delighted with itS: The 3d and the T
light diVisions have been kept with head-quarters,
-and will remain to garrison Madrid. The 14th •
Dragoons and one of the German Ilussar Regi-
ments are•at Toledo, and the Palace of Araajnez ;
the Guards and 7th division, at the,Palace'of Es-
curial ;• the • two Regiaients- of heavy German
Dragoons at the Palace of lldefonso and Segovia;
:and the whole of the test of the Army, under the
command of that celebrated officer General
Clinton; towards to Douro ; head-quarters at •
Olniedo."

COLONEL OrrilitciY.---On the 15th of Atteifst
last died' at Belem, near Lisbon, Lieutenant-CO-
lonel Otto William 'Offeney, Assistant Quarter-
Master-General to the British Army in the Pe-
ninsula. The life of that truly meritorous
Officer was a. series of almost uninterrupted exer-
tions in his profession. In the year 1781, he cam-.
menced his military career in India on his return;
he was, during the whole of the French Revolu
tionary war, actively employed in the British and
Hanoverian service ; in 1805, in the British ser-
vice in the North of Germany; in 1807, at Copein,'
hagen„- in 1808, in Sweden and Portugal ; in, 1869,
at ikValeheren; and lastly in Portugal and Spain.---,
Theitliorough knowledge which he possessed of. his
:;duty: and' his unremitted attention in the per,=-
formance of it, joined to the amiable qualities of
hiS heart, and the amenity of .his manners, bad se.;

S
cured to him the esteem and approbation of his
Commanders, who took occasion in their several
dispatches to mention him with that. praise which
he so well deserved. In the ardour of his zeal for
the success of the just and necessary contest in
which Great Britain was engaged, he nobly diSre-
garded the deranged state of his health, Oct the
fatigues which he underwent in the campaign of
the division of the army underLieutenaut-General

Sir Rowland Hill,
,brought on an illness, which
terminated his existence. That illness he bore
with Christian fortitude and resignation, support-
ed by the consciousness that, as his life had been
honourable, his death in such a cause would be glo.-
rious.
The Westmeath Militia have removed from
Ramsgate and Margate, to occupy the barracks at
Deal.
Thursday, the Royal. Glamorgan Militia march:.
td into Canterbury, from Brist©lj on their route
for Ramsgate and Margate.
The Regulations recently formed for the Re-',
uniting Service, will be carried into effect in the
Leeds District on the 10th day of next month,
and a saving of 700 Officers will be made to the
public sen►ce by the new system.
We lament .to have to announce the deatl► of
Lieut. 'Colonel CoLwinET (recently so flitich.
praised by Colonel SKERRETT) , who died at
Seville. Capt. BLACRALL of the 53d, Major.SmiT4
of the 36th, and Captain JERVOISE, have died of
their wounds.
