The prisoners who were remanded on Thursday were brought up again to Whitehall on Friday, some from the House of Cor rection, Coldbath-fields, and others from Tuthill fiels prison A considerable number of individuals assembled to see them depart, and others waited at the Hame Office to see them arrive. Several re spectable persons were admitted to see the prisoners, but about half-past twelve o'clock they were ordered to withdraw. We have not heard the particulars of the examination, which it is supposed was the most interesting that has taken place, as all the prin. sipal witnesses fcr the Crown attended. The arms and ammunition taken in Cato-street were deposited in an adjoining room, near that where the Members of the Council assembled. The Ministerial Prints are labouring hard to show, that this wretched plot had various ramifications, and that there was a con nection between the prisoners and a number of dis affected persons in the north. But this is mere sur mise and conjecture; nothing conclusive is made out, and we expect a repetition of such rumours to serve election purposes, and to make it believed, that an extensive plot had been formed to murder and pillage, and subvert the Constitution. There is also an anxious desire, on the part of the Ministerial Writers, to connect the conspiracy with the subject of Parliamentary Reform, but their clumsy effiwts are unavailing. Many of the most wise, wealthy, and honourable men in the country are advocates for Retorm ; but are decided enemies to any means being urea to obtain it, otlo than those which are perfectly legal and constitutional. Those Journals which are tl,us endeavouring to cast an odium on Parliamentary Itetintin of any description or kind, have so far exceeded every thing like decency and decorum, that they make not the least impression whatever on the good sense of the Pubic. The Mi nisterial ''• riters have now only one thread-bare subject to eke out ther drowsy columns, that is, the NV►,tgs and the Radicals, whom they represent as . united ; while the 'Laicals, in filet, coalesce with th.. Nlinisterialists themselves, in denouncing the Whigs, and extolling the Tories at their expellee. The beautiful wtiods in Kensington Gardens bear striking marks of the desolating fury of the lute storm. The have of the gale is visible in the num. ber ut stately trees, in the prime of their growth. that have been torn up by the routs, and the injury submitted by the brunches of others.

It is fininded upon a principal incident in the last new Novel, called Ivanhoe and closely resembles the pieces which have been brought out, with less merit us to scenery, and acting at some of the minor Theatres. The principal character, that of the Hebrew, was sustained by Mr. Kean. The dramatizer of the novel takes several liberties with this character, for the purpose of adapting it to the well known peculiarities o the great actor, but the ettint was not. quite successful. In some scenes, however, there was now and then a glimpse of the powers of Kean, who entered upon the character with as much energy as if every line had undergone his own revision. Mrs. West played the Jews Daugh ter, and was much apvlauded. The other per formers (lid their utmost. The piece improves as it advances to a close, and will, we trust, prove profitable to the manager ; but it struck, us, that the beautiful scenery, which called huth most of the applause that was given, might have been bestowed upon some more worthy proiuction. A number of persons are to be seen frequently upon the stage without having any business there, and of course when they leave it they cannot help doing so in the shabbiest manner possible. There are two or three songs by Was Car?Av and others in the commenceimmt. The piece was given out tar repLtuion amilat• general applause CoVENT GARDESI. Thursday night a new musical drama, called Ivanhoe; or, 'l'/w Knight Temp/.r was performed the lirst time at this Theatre, founded on the Novel of that name. The author of the hater has left the dramatist little to do, as it full of interest, and the plot is b 0 regularly developed, that by closely following the original, there could have been no doubt of success The character of the ✓ew is drawn with a masterly hand and was very ably performed by Mr. W. Fatten, who received very flattering and deserved applause. M. C. Kemble, us leanboe, and Mr. Macready, as the Knight Templar, were both a powerful support to the piece; the exertions of these two gentlemen mainly contributed to the great success of the plvy, and we should do less than justice if we did not pronounce their perthrmance of the two characters allotted to them peculiarly happy spec mens of the histrionic art. Liston was irresitahly comical in Wamba, the Jester. Miss Stevens imparted a con siderable degree of interest to the character of &WWI, and sang with great sweetness, feeling and effect. The drama, throughout, was exceedingly well pertiirmed ; and the music, chicf.y z.elected from the works of Stotace, could not hid to please. —The scenery is uncommonly beautiful and picturesque, and the whole was brought to a very effective climax by the destruction of the Castle of Sir Reginald. .1 he Piece, which was most favour ably received, promises to be very productive to • this Theatre.
