CWENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Last night, the Comedy of The Way to Get Married
was performed to a very numerous and respectable
house. The play is most excellently cast. Miss Noa-
TON, as Julia Fauliner, delighted the audience, and
was, in particular, successful in those p:.rts where
;pathos was most required. In the scene, where her fa-
ther proposes suicide, as the terrnination to their
misfortunes, she Wa3 pre-emittvtly affecting and
impressive. EGERTON played Co plain Faulkner, and
also succeeded well. Mummy; as Caueic, was comic
I in the extreme, and drew from his auditors repeated
I bursts of laughter. And EbIERY, in Toby—Allspce,
JONES, in Tandem, and FARLEY, in Dick Dashall, filled
lup the measure of humour. Mrs. Gums was a capi-
tal Clementina Allspice ; and, with Mrs. DAVENPORT,
in Lady Sorrel, obtained many flattering testimonies
of public approbation.

The Comedy passed uninterrupted from the thing
of th 3 curtain until its fall, and every sentence was
clearly and distinctly heard. A solitary hiss now
and then, barely marked the existence of discontent,
but the thunders of applause which followed, forcibly
announced the triumph of order and decorum.
The afterpiece of Don Juan was also received with
marked attention. The songs were for the first time
plainly heard ; at the falling of the curtain, an-
nouncing the close of the entertainments for the even-
ing, a general burst of applause evinced the satis-
faction of the audience, who immediately departed
without the customary acclamations or cliorusses.—,-
A few, indeed, about a dozen, of the 0. P. corps,
mustered at the back of the pit, were huddled toge-
ther, and sheaved to each other a placard, on which
was written,:—" Persevere in 0. P.-inn, but the
watch-word of " The Officers," instantly dispersed
them. The house was completely cleared by eleven
o'clock..

Bow-STREET.—Mr. David Forster applied to the
Sitting Magistrate; (Mr. Ilare4) as the performance
of the play had concluded, for a warrant against a
person who pointed at him in the pit as an object of
ridicule.

Mr. NA RES observed, that he could not grant a war-
rant without an assault• was proved.

Mr. Forster then edited, that he considered if he
was brought to the c Ike on a charge of riot, that he
ought also to be protected ; he was, on a former night,
taken into custody 'before he was five minutes in the
house.

Mr. N tars—" If you are brought here or. a charge
of riot, And is is substantiated, it will be my duty to
commit you. If you conceive the persons charging
you have been guilLy of perjury, it is in your power
to indict them for it."
Mr. Forster then lift the office. saying, " the he
would not again return to the Theatre, as he could
not be protected."

On Saturday last, orders were received at Sheer-
ness Dock-yard to put down 12 pair of new moorings
for 12 line of battle ships in Saltpan Reach, for ships
in ordinary.
A ship has arrived from Charleston, but we have
not by this opportunity, nor can we expect to have,
until after Christmas, any intelligence regarding the
negociation with Mr. JACKSON. While the foreign
trade of the Republic is.snffering some interruption
from political causes, the inhabitants are not only at-
tending to their domestic manufactures, but are
forming extensive projects for the maiittainance of
their relations with the vast continent to which they
belong. A hardy body of warriors, hunters and
trappers, all %veil armed and equipped, have taken
their departure from Louisville, on a three years ex-
pedition, to join the Missouri Company, who design'
to establish themselves not only on the river Colum-
bia, but to enlarge the sphere of their commerce to
the East Indies.

On the 11th init. the Marquis of TITOSIOND was'
