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 :ling 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.

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.
And glowing with, the grateful sense prz;pares
An ample recompense for all her cares.
