The King and Queen, attended by. the Dukeof Devon-
shire, Lord Denbigh, &c., together with a beautiful disple
o Ladies 01. Honour in their Court dresses, as worn at die
Drawing-roont, visited this Theatre , last night, and - ..: ..:
at-
tracted as kill an audience as was formerly collected when
George IV. used to show himself in public. The King'
I.
was &diked as usual in a blue uniform, and the Queen ..,
was blazing with diamonds. They both looked uneimi- i*
monly well, aria it appeared to give them great pleasure to
see so many thousand joyous people round them, te:J.ifyinTr,
in every possible way their respect and attachment. it
costs the great very little to make inferiors happy ; at lelst.,
for a time. The Royal Party was received with shouts 441..2 •
applhases from all parts of the Theatre, and his Majesty
bowed Apeatedlylp what used, twenty or thirty years tiaita-s!,
to be called " the fly of the people," very graciousty::
and cordially. The Quett also often courtesied in return:"
for the warm testimonies stNobtained. The performances
were .Sheridan's Duenna, Poole'w, Tarnina• the Tables,
and Biinn's My Neighbour's Wife, and these, together
with " God save the King," sung twice, " Rule Britan-
nia," once, and " Here's a health . to the King," once, oc-
cupied the time from seven till twelve. Liston played
Adz Humphries in the excellent farce of Tare lag the
Tables, "by command.' The occupants of - the koyal
Box seemed especially amused by My .Neighlmur's
Wife, which is excellent:y adapted from the 'French.
There was one little incident last night, in Which. the
King and Queen were principal actors, that gave peculiar
pleasure to the audience, etidenced ire thei-usual manner.
i3etween the,Duenna and Turning the Tables (we think
it was then), the King had a cup of tea, coffee, or cho-

waving in all directions ; pit, boxes, and galleries siinul-
tarieonslY rose, while the King and Queen acknowledged
and returned the gratulationS of theinsubjects by boivs and
courtesies. It may be very agreeable to their Majesties lo
sit' out a night's performance, but, it must be a terrible
nuNance to the great officers of .state, who have to stand
all the time, although they may relieve one another. -

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

( From a Correspondent of the Ti»ies.)
The Stratlyieldsayi the first vessel which has sailed this
year with-females to Australia, left the river yesterdav with
upwards of 250 passengers, bound for Hobart Town. The'se
passengers consist of young women whose ages 'average
from 15 to 30 years. They are all young, women , info
Whose characters a rigid inquiry has been instituted, befoee
the testimonials required for the permission of their embar-
kation have been allowed. In so large a number, it is un-
necessary to say that a great diversity of graduation nnist
of necessity exist, but the utmost caution has been used by
the- committee, under the ordeal of whose examination all
candidates mustpass, to prevent any female of -improper
chaxacter from being admitted on board. The instruc-
tions with which the committee have furnished Mr. Tho-
mas Parsons, the surgeon of. the vessel, and Mr. Ashton,
the superintendent, under whose immediate control the
passengers arc plaited, are drawn up with a most careful
attention to the wants and necessities which are contem-
plated on the voyage, and to. the nature of the peculiar
exigencies which will most probably arise. They form an
excellent institute upon which a code of regulations May be
based. The ship, a vessel of 500 tons burden, is fittfq
up with every convenience, for the comfort, the -health,
and even the amusement of the passengers ; every ar-
rangement bears the marks of attention to the situation
of the emigrants. Many of these young women, from
personal appearance, and from propriety of behaviour, will
be an ornament to the regions to which their destinatiOn
leads them. The majority of them arc in appearance re-
spectable; and the minority, a very small one certainly,
are decorous and decent. The vessel is furnished with
leviteeirtyalisrtytele
.iTolf provision
,ereisa for
good
stuhpe voplycyage, on a
of sheep,
pigs, fowls,
fwlos,
&c. ; an ample medicine-.chest, wine,' spirits, and every-
thing to preserve health, and prevent disease. Although
it is not to be supposed that these persons are in affluent
circumstances, they are far removed from a state of pau-
perism. 'The government of the country grants to, each
of them on their landing at Hobart-town the sum of • 12/.
The sum of 51. each is required of them for their passage,
and they are moreover required to furnish themselves with
an adequate supply of clothes for the voyage ; to enable
them to do•so, an arrangement has in some instances been.
made, by which clothes have been supplied to them iii this
country, and•their undertaking to pay, within' reasonable
time after their settlement in the colony, taken as a-socurhy
for the accommodation. The committee, of which Mr. E.
Foster is the chairman, and of which Messrs. Hoare, Smith,
Beacebridge, Pirie, Lusliington, and many. other intht-
entialgentlemen of the 'city arc members, arc, the imme-
diate agents by whom the efforts of government are carried
into effect, and by whose instrumentality its exertions are
' rendered available to a most desirable Object. - That object
is to equalize the proportion of the number of males and
females in Van Diemen's Laud, and to remove the dispro-
portion of more than three to one which now exists. , Im-
mediately on the arrival of these young women in the colony
they will be under the management and direction of the'
governor and a committee of ladies. • Places and situations
will be procured for them, according to their respective
capabilities and attainments, and they will be put ill a way
of earning by their own industry and exertions an henoor,
able support. The whole body of passengers, with very
few exceptions, which the taking leave of friends and rela-
tions unavoidably produces, were in the highest 'spirits,
and we sincerely wish that the whole course of their voyage
may be attended with the same symptoms of cheerfulness
and prosperity bywhich its commencement waSdistinguislie(l,
