The four celebrated pictures, "Scenes Lan the Brea ford
Election," sod palmed by Hogarth, sired to be plated in the
dining room at Hampton. They were exhibited, @Mongol
other paintings by Huger*, at the British Institution a few
seasons ago, and since that hate have been deposited in the
house at the Adelphi. There art assay other very Valuable
pictures, painted by Zoffany, and all the distinguished artists
of the time, amounting in the whole to nearly ISO These
by Mr. Garrick's will, are now to be sold, and they will no
doubt produce an marrows sum of money.
Notwithstanding the peculiar oddity of Mee. Carrick's
character, she could, when she chose, be exceedingly polite
and urbane. The recorder of these reminiscences was anxi-
ous, some years back, to ascertain the authenticity of • turf-
, sans relic (a ode cup made from part of the mulberry tree
planted by albakspeare), which was exhibited antoomit other
valuables for sale by Messrs. Leigh and Sotheby, in York-
street, late the property of •deceased eminent antiquary. This
relic was said to have been given by Mr. Garrick to the de•
ceased perms, sad to aseerteia the tenth of that fact was the
object of the visit. Mrs. Garrick received the writer with
great kindness, and io the most frank inaosser re. Hied aud con-
firmed the story, at the same time stating most minutely all the
circumstances which induced the gift from Mr. Garrick, and
which originated in a very intimate personal friendship, and
a kindred feeler,: for the memory of his beloved Sltak,peare.
This interesting and conclusive story induced the writer to
become the purchaser. Garrick cordially lured his wife,
but he was anxious, that after his death she should nut °illy
continue a widow, but remain in this country ; his will cum
tains maoy severe restrictions on these points. In ease she
married or went abroad, she was not only to be deprived of
onedbird of her income, but eats ly of the houses and far-
.niture both of Hampton and on the Adelphi terrace. After
the death of Garrick, the father of Mr. Evans, the booksel-
ler, in Pall-moll, a great friend of Garrick's--(we believe ths it
intimacy commenced is conseqneace of Mr. Evans having
applied to Garrick es some sohjeet connected with his pub-
lication of the very various collection of 014 Hauls, • new
and much-improved tejtion of which has remedy Seta
prioted by his sou)—was rolled upon by the executors to
value the library, all of which rftnams except the old plays:
they are in the British Museum. The entire property consist-
ing of the 11131140 e, groom* furniture library, sod various
tenements at Hamploo, sod the bouse;furniture, sod library
on the Adelphi-terrace. Notwithstanding Mq. Garrick's
rammed complaint about bee poverty, and the narrowness
and inadequacy of her income, we understead she has left
nearly seventy thousand pomade behind her. She was a
rigid Catholic, sad when a Hampton, it health and the
weather permitted, used to attend the chapel at Isla**
on • Bouslay.
It is exceedingly to be regretted that, together with the
statue by Roubtlias, Garrick did tint at iii• death bequeath
to the Museum the chair made from a portion of the genuine
mulberry•tree planted by the immortal poet, awl designed
by his Mend Hogarth.
This venerable lady, it is said, visited Wessaiaster Abbey
'bout s month ago, and, addressing the Clergyman who at-
tended her, she said, "I suppose there is not room enough
for me to be laid by the ride of my dear Dari.l." The Cler-
gyman ed her that there would be room enough. She
then wait, " I wish to keg., not that I think I am likely
soon to require it, for I am yet a mere girl, but only for the
ealisfartiun alley feelings against the time when I mast sub-
mit to the will of Heaven."
