COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

A melancholy event, the death of tvir.. Twigs,
a near relative of Mr. CHARLES Kaasur.e, ha,
ocresioned a postponement of the sppearatice of
Miss LACY, in the tragedy of Venice Preserved,
which was to trove been performed last night. The
Clandestine Marriage was substituted in its stead,
the characters in which were very effectively sus-
tained. After the ploy a new diverlisetneut was
perfotowd, iptebiels a Madame Gans, Mademoiselle
Musßac, And Mr. ST. ALBIN, were the principal
dancers. The latter two are deeply wounded by
an arrow boat the quiver of the God of Love,
whs. appeared in person, sod approached his
victims so tlinely, that these wu no circlet of
their escape. They are inspired with a menial
passion, and fly into each others arms. As they are
no looser in fear of his darts, they take Cupid
prisoner, and bind him with a garland of roses, but
he supplicates for his release, which is granted.
The dancers were favourably received, particularly
Mr. ST. A mutt, who executed same steps, the style
of which is difficu!t, and one that requires elasticity
of nerve and precision of movement to render the
execution finished and pleasing. The badness, of
the weather, and the absence of the great majority
of the nobility and gentry from town at present,
mast account for the thinness of the audience.
