I LUTINC—In the year 1799, his Majesty's frigate the bihrie was wrecked on the coast of iiol •latid, whilst proceeding to Cuxhaven, with a cargo of silver, partly on Governor:lA, and partly on pri vate account, and all on hoard perished, excepting one man. For the first time, on this occasion 'go vernment insured their remittances to the Continent ut a very low premium, and recovered a total loss from the underwriters. The actual place where the frigate perished was never discovered till lust Muy, when, to the great satisfaction of Llo : d's Coffee house, the ship was seen entire, and still remains visible in the same situation. On the first discovery of her, a resolu ion was adopted by the underwriters to attempt the recovery of their property. and the necessary means were taken either to raise the ship, or to break her up in order to save the specie. Time Government port of the specie was a remittance, under the moue of Subsidy, to enable the legitimate Sovereigns of Europe to expel the then-denominated Revolutionary Government from Holland, and to reinstate that of the House of Orange, its present head.—The present operations of the underwriters, however, in place of obtaining the sanction of the House of Orange, to recover the property front La Lathe have been resisted by the same government, for the re-instatement of which this money was shipt, on the plea that England, in 1799, was at war with Holland, and consequently that the wreck of La Ltitine and her cargo, being within the waters of Holland, are the legitimate property of the Dutch Government. Shire the first discovery of La I.utine, several English vessels in the pay of the Un derwriters, have anchored very near her, but the Dutch Government for more than three months have prevented these vessels from working at the wreck. When the difficulties which the grateful House of Orange placed in the way of salvage of this pro perty, were reported to the underwriters, a memo rial was transmitted to the Marquis of London derry, whose death probably prevented and atten •tion being given to it. Another memorial was afterwards furivarded to Earl Bathurst, the locum tenens of the Foreign Seeretary ; and another to Mr. Canning when he was appointed to that situa tion, but still no reply has been received by those who have the only just right to the property, be cause they have paid for it. Another petition, about a mouth ago, was presented to the Foreign Office, praying that a British frigate might be ordered to take charge of the property, and to place it in the hauls of his Maje►ty's Govern ment, until the point should be settled " 'Me tier this specie belonged to the Muse of Orange, or to the Underwriters at LLOYD'S."—Even to this most liberal petition no answer has been yet received ; and in the mean time the winter approaches, and the ship may again be sarukd, and the property lost fUr ever. SINOVLAR 3.1 L-TAKE —A Sheriff's officer had re cently entrusted to him a writ for a considerable amount against a gentleman of importance and no toriety residing in Queen-square, and was apprised by the attorney employed that he was what is tech nically termed " a shy cock." The bailiff called morning, noon, and night, but was still disappointed of the caption on which depended his fee—deter mined, however, nut to lobe his labour, he plaided himself one morning before sun-rise within sight of the house of the laud-cliciche—he saw the eervant open the door to clean the steps, and to the accustomed question of " Is Mr. at home !" received th_ reply of " Nu! there is nu one ut home but my mistress, and she is in bed”—yet, once in the house, he determined to search it, and proceeiled pus a pas till he reached the Sanctum samorum where the master and mistress were accustomed to enjoy " Tir'd nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep" —here he knocked, and received from Madame an assurance that sun Mari was nut of town: resolved to persevere, he announced his determination to break open the door, for the purpose of searching the room, which he ultimately did, and found Monsieur sure enough there; by menaces lie obliged him to drtss lainiself, and accompany him to a look - -up-house •—arrived there, the Defeats assured his captor he was not the party sought, and the officer, yielding at last to his entreaties to send for the plaintiff, to confirm his assertion, was assured that such was the fact—it turned out that embarrassments obliging the husband to be absent from town, a parautourinid taken his 'dice, who, anxious for concealment on this unkoked-ti-r discovery, presented the officer with a ten-rannal bank note, to ensure his silenae— the efficacy of which was best proved by our being in possession of the whole story within twenty-four hours of its occurrence.

DEATH or Alas. Lally closed her life on Wednesday night, at ma o'clock, at her hon.,: on the Adelphi Terrace, in the arniti year of her age. Her death was so sudden, Wet she was malting arrungern n.s in the morning fur going to see the re-opening of Drury Lane. Iler maiden name was Violette, and she was a native of Germany, not Italy us generally supposed. She was born at Vienna, where the was a canes highly admired. At an early age she was taken under the pro tection of Lord and Lady Burlington, with whom she resided at her marriage. It is understood that Lout Burlington gave her 6,0001. as a marriage portion. Alm. Garrick was renuukably beautiful in her face and person, and tail her death she retained that erect deportment whim' she derived hour her original pro fessimi. tie-rick, always sensibly streciell by ridicule, endea voured to avert at on his marriage, and du:reline published a povin on Ilse occasion, of which lie induced his friend Ned Moore, as lie was lanailierly styled, the author of the tragedy of the Gamester, to assume the credit; but it was well known to Garrick'. trw nds, and particulatly to the late Dr. Mouthy, of Chelsea College, who was intimate with butt., that it was really the pruductiun of Garrick 1 self, written fur the purpose of anticiputing the wit and humour likely to assail him on his adopting the distracter of Iterrediet in real lite. Mr. r eal Mrs. Garrick were a very happy couple, and enjoyed the highest society in the kingdom, tut the close o f hia Inc, in the January of 1770; and it is renuoltable, that during the whole period of their marriage, whatever invitations they recethed, or excursions they took, they never once slept asunderreay the death of Mrs. Garrick, the library of the British Museum will be further enriched by the addition of her l'ushantl's valuable collection of old English plays, besides which, the celebrated statue of think speare by Houballine (of which the one over the tire-place in the rotunda of Diury•lant Theatre is a cast), will grace the hall of that national establishment. -The chair, too, made from Shirk speare's mulberry tree,. will also, it is supposed, be deposited there. It is richly carved, and would, if put up to auction, fetch An enormous price; as would doulaUess many either articles of vertu, as having once belonged to the "best hang commentator" on the weeks of the Bard of Avon. Among these Attila not be forgotten four originals by Hogarth s of the Eleetioa. The Lte of these species of saleable propriety,. which were bequeathed to Mrs. Garrick daring her Ilk, will shortly be decided by the, hammer. The ehialren of -Mrs. Garrick, of the Haymarket Theatre, will also, it is said, those is fur considerable legacies, in consequence of the decease. TH.
