This is owing to the additional prepara tions necessary for the increased number of per sons connected with that Order, and the appear ance ot the KING as Sovereign thereof, which, it is said, is usual at the first installation in his reign. It is calculated there will be near 700 persons in the procession. The canopies over the stalls are to be removed, and a triple row of seats made below the present Knights' seats ; yet, after all, it is doubted whether the Esquires can be ad mitted into the body of Henry the Seventh's Chapel, on account of the number of the Knights' Commanders and Companions. If there should not be room, they will file off at the entrance of the Chapel, and be arranged in galleries to be erected in the side aisles. The 13th or 15th of June are the days at present talked of.

As a new Tragedy has recently been brought forward, founded upon a celebrated story in Roman History, our Readers will probably be amused by an account of a Tragedy on the same subject, AY hich was represented in the year 1754. The following account of it was given bythe late AtiniVß NJUttPHY, : " Zara was receiced with great applause, and continued to be repeated to crowded audiences, till in February 175.1, a new Tragedy, under the title of Virginia. engaged the public attention. The subject is taken from the story of Appius, the Deceuivir, who, in a fit of brutal lust, resolved to ruin the virtue of a beautiful virgin, the daughter of Lucius Virginius, a Roman centurion. Virginia was admired and loved by Lu cius Icilius, who bad lately been Tribune of the People. She returned his love with equal ardour, and, with her father's consent, bound herself by a promise of marriage. The De ceinvir was determined to surmount all obstacles, and, with that intent, employed his creature, Claudius, to claim her as . his slave. To support so vile a fiction, he was ready with a fabricated talc, and a number of witnesses, suborned for the purpose. The cause was heard by Appnis, on his Tribu nal, and, in spite of the strong reasoning and heartfelt elo quence of Virginius, his daughter was pronounced to be the property of a vile impostor. In that moment of the bitterest distress, the unhappy father plunged a dagger in Virginia's breast, chasing rather to see her dead, than led away in bondage. This. was the last act of oppression committed by the Decemvirs. • The people, fired with indignation, seceded in a body to Mount Aventine, and refused to return till the ten Tyrants were obliged to abdicate. Appius was thrown into prison; and to escape from the prosecution instituted by Virginius, died by his own hand. The particulars, here crowded into a narrow compass, are related by Livy, in the third book of his history, with all those graces of style that distinguish that admirable writer. " A finer subject fur a Tragedy cannot he found in the an nals of Greece and Rome; but to execute it with all the master strokes of the sublime and tender required a Shakes- peare, an Otway, or, perhaps, such a genius as Rowe. It is not intended by this observation to pronounce judgment against Virginia. 'The fable, though it cannot boast of sittra. Lions to alarm and agitate the heart, is conducted in regular order, and a well-connected train of events. The Rev. Mr. Crisp, who wrote the Play, seems to have been a scholar and a man of taste. He was related to or patronized by Lord Coventry. His Countess, the celebrated beauty of that day, as Garrick often related, strove to his house, and sent in word, that she had a moment's business. He went to the side of her carriage, There, Mr. Garrick,' said Lady Coventry, I put into your hands a Play, which the best judges tell me will do honour to you and the Author.' It was nut nee. ssary for her to say more: Those eyes that tell us what the sun is made of,' as Dr. Young says its one of his Tragedies, had all the power of persuasion, and even of command ; Garrick obeyed, as if she had been a Tenth Muse, and prepared the Play with the utmost dispatch. He, in the character of Virginia, Mossop in that of Appius, and Mrs. Cibher in Virginia, de served the compliment paid to them by the Author in his Pre face. The representation was attended by another advan tage. Mrs. Yates, at that time Mrs. Graham, made her first appearance on the English Stage, in the part of Marcia, and by her extraordinary beauty, and an early promise of great talents, helped to give attraction to the piece. But the great stroke which crowned it with success, (which will appear al most incredible) was Garrick's manner of uttering two words. Claudius, the iniquitous tool of the Decemvir, claims Virgi nia, as a slave born in his house. He pleads his cause before Appius on his Tribunal. During that time, Garrick, repre senting Virginius, stood on the opposite side of the scene, next to the stage-door, with his arms folded across his breast, his eyes rivetted to the ground, like a mute and lifeless statue. Being told at length that the Tyrant is willing to hear him, he continued for some time in the same attitude, his counte nance expressing a variety of passions, and the spectators fixed in ardent gaze. By slow degrees he raised his head; he paused ; he turned round in the slowest manner, till his eyes fixed on Claudius; he still remained silent, and after looking eagerly at the Impostor, he uttered in a low tone of voice, that spoke the fullness of a brakes heart, ' Thou Traitor r —The whole audience was electrified; they felt the impression, and a thunder of applause testified their delight. Pliny the elder, speaking of certain minerals, says, nature is never raore fully displayed than in the minutest objects. This remark , may be applied to the nice touches of such an Actor as Garrick.— Reruns nature nusquammagis quam in Ininimis tota est." Tue ORATORIO.--A grand musical treat took place on Saturday last at Drury-Lane Theatre, under the conduct of Sir GEORGE SMART. There were many selectigns from the Opera of II Tun credi introduced in the first act, and from several other celebrated compositions. A new Requiem, composed by BONTEMPO in honour of CAMOENS, the amiable and unfortunate Portuguese Poet, was also introduced.—The chief vocal per formers were Mrs. SALMON, Miss GOODALL, Madame BELLOCHI, AMBROGETTL, and BRAHAM. BRAHAM was admirably accompanied on the Vio lincello by LINDLEY in " See from the silent Glove Alexis flies," and BOSCHA performed his grand Military Concerto on the Harp with his usual skill. There was a very full house, and the whole was highly and deservedly applauded. Lord ELLENEOROUGH , gave a grand dinner, yes terday, to the Marquess and Marchioness of CAMDRN, Lord BRECKNOCK, the Ladies PRATT, and a party of Fashionables, at his seat at Roe hampton. Yesterday Lord and Lady GEORGE CAVENDISH gave a grand dinner at Burlington•house, Picca dilly, to the Duke of DavoNstitae, in honour of his birth-day, to which, a large party of distin guished Personages were invited.
