COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. KEAN appeare;.l again last night in the Merchnia
of Venice, and very iidmirably performed Shy/rack. Tws
is a character that he does to perfection. Take it alto-
gether, even Cooke had not used to perform it so well.
Miss Janssau, as Pergd, improves much—we were
highly pleased with her last night, especially in the
Council Scene; and it, like Mr. KEAN, when he has
any particular speeches to pronounce, or any .particular
part of the scene to enact, she mete to come more in
front of the stage, her countenance would be seen more
distinctly, and she would be better heard. This young
Lady ought, ton, to imitate Mr. KEAN in his excellent
method of taking plenty of time in the deliver►• of the
dialogue; and if she were to introduce more pau.e*.. her
acting would have a better effect. The way in which
Mr. CHARLES KUMLA, as Bassanio, read tee letter of
Anlonio to Podia. was very affecting, showing his
great skill as an actor.

His MaiesTv's Fishing Temple, at Vnginia Water,

amusement to the Ktsc when he visits this favourite
