COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—The play of Macbeth was last night represented at this theatre, with a mag. nificence of decoration, and in the principal charac ters with an intelligence so critical and impressive, as to recal to our minds the best days of our dramatic taste.—Mrs. SIDDONS may truly be said to have ap propriated to herself the character of Lady Macbeth. It never had a representation in any degree equal to her in force, in dignity, in emotion, and in truth.— From the first crnception of the sanguinary plot to the last scene where she harrows up the soul by the 'inimitable utterance of a tortured conscience, the ma. jesty of her deportment, the changes of her gesticula tion, and the purity of her stile arc unquestionably the finest display of the histrionic art which now re mains to the British stage. We were delighted to find her power unsubdued by time. At no previous season of her life was her voice more clear, full, and _perfect in its tone—and never was the expression of her eye more striking. Mr. Kestat.a's Macbeth, was also recommended by the most imposing demeanour. His study. was manifest in every sentence, and though his organ does not always do justice to his intention. yet the sentiment is Conveyed With such accuracy as to make the just impression on the heart.

It was a fact universally known, that, on amount of 'suspicions entertained by the Migivratcs that the ,prisoner cauld nut h we effected his escape, without the connivance of the jailor, Mr. Aria had been re. moved from his situation of Keeper of the Souse of 1 Correction. The Learned Counsel could not. coat :plain of this step, for undoubtedly a person in the situation of keeper of a prison ought to be above sit;. picion. The Learned Gentleman then stated the particulars of the escape of the prisoner ; and imme diately proceeded to call witnesses to prove the facts alledged. For this purpose he first called Mr. Co. nant, the Magistrate, who depose,l, that he had issued the three commitments produced, the two first welt on suspicion of felonies, but the Ls:ter for a felonious offence charged to have been actually committed. Mr. KNAPP, counsel for the prisoner,bere objected to the further progress of the trial, upon the ground that nn proof had-been adduced of the guilt of the prisoner, the two first commitments having been made out simply on sutspicion, acid the prisoner never hav ing been tried for the offenca charged in the latter. 1 Mr. Jastice fletrit slid, that it certainly wit& ne. ceisary to prove the tirigin a guilt of the prisoner, be , fore he could be conviated of the crime with which he toci,i ch.tr 4 ed.
