Yesterday, $ very large Beet of transports au ire,
at Portsmouth, from the Tagus, %kith troops. ill
two regiments of embodied detachments which gait
ed so much renown at the battle of Talavera are ti
board: the remainder consist of sick, amounting t 4
nearly 1200.—Dr. FuAsien has come bcnie in ch.uv
of the sick.

The 51st have marched into Portsmouth, and ern,
barked on board transports. Tlii4 regiment, c•i.i
the 2cl battalion of the 14th, will sail immediately,
under convoy of the ULYSSES, on their retutn to
Island of Walcheren.

General TgRROTT, of the Royal Artillery, has am,
red at Portsmouth, from Flushing, in a bad stated
health ; but his services are so much rupired thete
that he could obtain only a mouth's sick leav,: ir:

The 82d and the 10th infantry, on their mute for
Portsmouth, have halted at Brighton. The last
moved from thence on Tuesday morning, f r ti,e:r
destination. The men appeared in the most excelle: t
condition, health, and spirits.

Last night SHAKESPEAR'S finely-drawn Tragedy of
Item. eo and Juliet was performed here, for the purpl:e
of Introducing Mrs. CLARKE (the young Lady whq
has appeared three times in the Grecian Daughter), in
the pert tsf "44/ItLand happy are we to -ssiy, as far
as could be 'beard of ber last night, our first opinion
of her is fully confirmed ;--In the balcony amatory
scene in the garden, her figure, face, and voice, ap%
peared to the finest advantage; and, had it not been
frequently interrupted by noise and clamour, must,
with the 'excellent acting- of Mr. C. KENIBLE, hate

mofirOf Tears. In the masterly speech before takiar
die draught, nothing could be known but from the
strong powers of face and horror of mind which thic
young actress pourtrayed—tne eye was the only organ
to.sebsibility—thy ear was useless—the actors in the
Pit had begun their performances, and all on the stage
was pantomime and dumb-show. The 0. P.'s began
their old practices; and the beautiful music of the So.
lemn Dirge, at the Monument of the Capulets, was,
for the first time, accompanied by a dance in the pit.
Very few 0. P.'s were sported in the Pit till after
half-price. Two were exhibited in the gallery at
an early hour, but attracted no notice. A few occa-
sional cat-calls were heard, but they seemed at fiat
timid, and afraid of offending the decorum of ail
audience. After half-price, however, the 0. P.'s were
displayed without restraint. A dustman's bell every
now and then varied the scene, which was gen.rally
accompanied by Dust 0 ! from a few Connoir.seum
—Two or three rattles were displayed with greater
confidence, though they frequently changed ownert.
A few mock fights, and the races along the benche%
seemed to afford much entertainment. Several 4d
placards were occasionally hoisted. The following
was a new one ;

" Sons of Britain, ne'er give o'er,
Have the prices as before.
Your opinions shcw ev'ry night,
Fear net ! Read, you're in the right."
But the principal placard, and that which was evr
hoisted amid tumults of applause, was one upon a
very long stick, which might justly be denominated
the Old Price Standard, or rather Arms. At 01!
top was inscribed " GOD save the King;" and at
the bottom, Our Rights and Independence."—
The arms consisted of four quarters—l st, on a field
azure, the letters 0. P. in gold ; 2d, on a field, or a
bell/tar:ant (or rather ftassing) ; 3d, on a field argent,
a bull's head rampant / around the neck a Li:m.l.r
collar, inscribed O. P. and the 4th, on a field azure,
a rank quiescent. The stick upon which this was raised
reached almost as high as the second tier of boxes—
and when it appeart.d, the shoutings passed all des.
cription.
• There were no orators last night, and the pit was
empty soon after 'the curtain fell, at the end of th?
farce of the Poor Soldier. No examinations at Bow•
street took place. The avenues and streets immedi-
ately in the vicinity of the theatre were well lined
with police officers, and there were no riots in the
streets.

Mr. WUARTON attended on Wednesday at the Trea.
sury, for the first time, as successor to Mr. HUSKISSON.
Yesterday, in the Court of Chancery, Mr.A LI XAN.
DER, one of Ole King's Counsel, was appointed a Ma,-
ter in Chancery, in the usual form, in the room of Mr.
ORDE. _

On Monday a Court-Martial was held on board the
SALVADOR DEL MUNDO, in Plymouth harbour, for the
trial of Barnaby Vicq and John Le Huquet. two
French pilots belonging to the PHOENIX trigate, Cap-
tain MunGE, for neglect of duty, in suffering the ship
to strike on la Roondire Rock, at the mouth of St.
Aub)n's Bay, Jersey, on the 24th ult. by which she
received considerable damage. The charge was
proved, bat in consideration of the prisoners good
character, they were only sentenced to be mulcted of
three months pay each.
