GARDEN THEATRE.  The bills of the day announced Richard 111. for representation ye,terday evening - in consequence, however, of the indisposition of Nlr. Ciquce, Rpm. and Ali. t was substituted in its stead. Mrs. CLARKE, whose acting of Julia has been the subject of much commendation, seems still to gain upon our g-od opinion. She was last night more interest ng than on any former occasion. The applause winch she received, while applause could be distinguished, was commensurate. In her scene with the Nurse, in the third Act, she was hailed with shouts of approbation. Indeed it would be too litt.e to say, that she has the stamina of a good actress. She really evinces at polish orlimshoe fstyle, which might vie with the lustre of celebrated stars in the theatrical hemisphere ; and we are persuaded, had she but made her debut in more pacific times, her talents would have been estimated amongst some of the most promising ornaments of the stage. At full-price the house was very thin, but, at the usual hour of admission for the half-price visitors, the throng became great, and every seat was occupied After this the lovers of peace and order were robbed of 'the pleasure of Mrs. CLARKE'S portraiture of Juliet, and the solemnity of the Funeral Precession to the tomb of the Capulets, was turned into broad farce. While the funeral train sung a Requiem, and the Orchestra performed a solemn Dirge, the gallery folks sting " Rule Britannia," in their loudest style. The .11tier introduced in this Scene displayed much pomp. It appeared to be a correct resembl. nce of the Car which bore the immortal NELSON to St. Paul's ; and if the opposition had not destroyed tht effect of this Procession, it would have been greatly superior to the usual exhibitions, of this description._ CHARLES  KLNIBLE, in Romeo, was received hi the 0. P.'s with Many marks of hostility, although 'they did nut make a numerous display of their favourite initi ,is. We noticed few with letters in their hats. The di.:liirbance continued by mock fights, the dance of O.P. And Stentorian sounds. Many Placards were reared, principally directed against the Private Boxes. Among those which may be mentioned as possessing any kind of novelty, we noticed—  " The Farce i f Killing No Murder, having be, n receive I with unbounded applause on Wednesday Evening last, eh- venge will be repeated every Evening for " The 11:1:,:lit of John  " Britons, be bold, and display your placards, In spite of injustice, and Bow-street Blackgu.irds,"  A drawing of a smith with a large sledge hammer was also exhibited, with the words  " A Ruffian from the Iron Foundery."  The pantomime of Don Juan introduced Gm LDI in the character of Scaramouch. Don Juan was better relished than the beauties of Shakspeare would have been, and was received with more notice than any after.piece, since the opening of the New Theatre. A few skirmishes took place between the 0. P.'s, and the N. P.'s, which generally terminated in the capture of some of the former, who were co n ducted forthwith to Bow-street. The performances were over a little after eleven, and the oppositionists, after the usual routine of groans and hisses, left the Theatre in a body. The only novelty in the cheers was " the King," with " three times three," which was received most warmly ; and the heart of every one present. seemed to beat responsive to tile loyal effusion.
