DEATH or i ice. GARRICIL.--This lady closed her life on
Wednesday night, at 12 o'clock, at her house on the Adelphi
Terrace, in the 100th year of her age. Her death was so sudden,
that she was making arrongenan. s in the morning for going to
see the re-opening of Drury Lane. Her maiden name wits
Violette, and she was a native ef Germany, not Italy as generally
supposed. She was born at Vienna. where she was a dancer
!lightly admired. At ..n early age she was taken under the pro-
tection of Lord and Lady Burlington, with whom she resided at
her marriage.. It is undersimal that Lore Burtington gave her
6,0001. as a marriage portion. Mts. Garrick was reinatkulny
b.atitaltil in her hree and yers in, and till her death she retained
that erect deportment whica she derived from her original pro-
fession. Garrick. a.ways sen,ibly effected by Hellenic entlea-
voureal to avert at on his marriage, and therefore published a
poem on the occasion, of which he induced his friend Ned
:Sleorc, tot he was familiarly styled, the author of the tragedy of
the Gamester, to assume the credit; but it was well known to
Garrick's friends, and particulady to the late Dr. Monsey,
Chelsea College, who was intimate with both, that it was really
the production of Garrick himself; written far the
.purpose of
anticipating the wit and humour likely to assail on his
adapting die character of Beardict in teal life. Mr. and Mrs.
Garrick were a very happy camale, and enjoyed the highest
society in the kingdom. till the claw of his lite. in the January
of 1779; and it is remarkab e, that timing the whole period of
their 'mintage, whatever invitations they received, or excursions
they took, they never once slept asunder.--sify the Math of Mrs.
Garrick, the library of the British Aluseum will be farther
emichad be the addition of her husband's valuable collection of
old English plays. besides which, the • celebrated statue of Shalt.
speare, by Boubilliae (of the cite over the fire-place in the
rotunda of Di ury-lane Theatre is a cast), will grace the hall of
that natiocal establishment. The clod:, too, made from Shalt-
speare's mulberry tree. will also. it is supposed, be deposited
there. Jr is richly carved, and would, if pot up to auction, fetch
an enormous price; as wutud doubtless many other articles of
mid, as having once belonged to Cie "best ii. ing commentator.'
on the wolks of tic Bard ut Avon. Among these most nut be
forgotten tour originals by llegarth,„ot the Election. The Fite
of hew species of saleable property, which were bequeathed to
Mrs. (derrick during her lice, will shortly be deeidt e by the
hammer. The chiffiren of Mrs. Garrick, of the Haymarket
Theatre, will also, it is said, cantle in tor considerable legacies, in
consequence of the decease.
Tot; KEFLNIEN.—'fIea complaints of the Now.
castle keelmen are. it is presumed, not wholly without founda-
ham 11' trivad to their masters and conlintal to their employ-
ment, it seems only reasonable that the keelmen toliould be
supplied with work sufficient to enable them and their families
to live. Bat by the terms of their present engagement, it
would appear List the keel men are bound to their masters with-
out a reciproc I la. .i o..aat_oo on the part orate latter to afford the
men sufficient mainteuance. It his been ascertained that in
Mr. Newmirch's colliery, where 10J mna are employed more
constantly than most on the river, their wages have not averaged
more than between Lis. and 15s. a week during the year;
while many of those employed in the colleries below bridge
have not averaged more than Is. or Bs. a week—a sum very
inadequate to t..e suppoit of themselves anal families. And, un-
fortunately for them, in consequence of the increased quantity
of coals shipped by the spouts, their means for supporting their
sick and aged brethren, their widows, and orphans, is also much
circumscribed. Newcastle and the ncighsourhoed, in conic-
Treace of the stoppage of the keelnien no the river, are filled
with soldiers like towns besieged. The 6611 i regitneut arrived
between 13 and 11 on Saturday evening, and all the local corps,
with the troops at the barraeka, seats permanent duty. Dif-
ferent detachments coostaittly scour the banks of the Tyne, and
several are stationed at the priueipol villages in the neighbour-
hood, fur the purpose of arresting the kerlmen who have left
their employment, and preventing depredations and the de-
struction of property. About 150 of the keelaien against whom
worrams wereissued have surrendered themselves tit the Town
Court, Newcastle, and the rest are expected to follow their ex-
ample. A number were committed, and others disoliarged, on
Thursday afternoon, by the Magistrates.
Loss elr '1 tit: RANGER CUTTER.--ExtraCk Of
letter from Great Yarmouth, data Oct. 16:—
On Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, a very strong gale of' wind
came on from the or rather more to the Eastward, which
was very destructive to the shipping to the N nth of us. Th
Ranger revenue cutter, Captain Sayers, was entirely lost, with
all net crew, in the course of the night, supposed about eleven
o'clock, oil lla.slxirough ; part of her Molt is new to be seen on
the bond bank nearest the shore. !minding the Commander,
ho went on board about four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, 30
persons perished. The body of Mr. Selland, the second officer,
and that of his son, were both wash. el ashore, end brought to
Yarmouth for interment. The body of the unfortunate Captain
is not yet found. Six or seven colliers have also, with the greater
part of their crews, beets totally lost off W intermit ; but we are
happy to state, that the Protector, I,ieut. Hewitt, which was
also supposed to have been entirely lust, got under weigh at the
commencement of the gale, and leached Harwich in safety.—
inquests hate been !ration several bates unknown, but some
driven on shore have been recognised, and claimed by their
sorrowing relatives."

Mr. John Langley Davison, baker, in Sniderland'
was last week committed to Datham gaol on ■ charge arising
out of circumstances connected with the Milan Coaunnsionee,
Colonel Isrowne. Oo the wedding-day • number of prisons
assembled in Sunderland for the purpose of burning the effigy
or the Colonel told that of Dr. (Lay, the father of the bnids•—
rMr. Davison was amongst the popu:ace, and a boy swore before
the magistrates, that he had stimulated 4.e multitude, and give■
instructions where the effigies of maim were to ho exhibited
and berm. The charge was resolved by the Bench into one of
riotously assembling, and Mr. Davison war required to give
bail, himself in a certain inmost, and two sureties its 101. each.
A gentleman olfered to become Mr. Davison's bail to the whole
amount required of sureties, and his bail for 201. was accepted.
A demand of ss. was then made for the coats of the rect,;ui-
moire ; bat Mr. Davison having steadily refused to oompty, he
was told that 2s. 611. would be a cepted ; that sum was also
retuned, and Mr. Davison was committed to gaol, whew.e Le
was Mundy afterwards liberated; but the strait is not yet
termiu led.
The neiAltbourbood of Fish-street-bill was on
Tuesday night thrown into great 84i:et:tin, in eotittepienre cf a
lire breaking out on the premises of Mr.Josepb W eller, feather-
bed manufacturer, residing on Fish-s:reet•bill. The fire was
perceived by the opposite neighbours. who saw cloudy of
smoke issuing out of the front door, and immediately informed
Mr. Walker, who, on examination, found that some locks and
wool in the warehouse had by some unknown means taken fire
and were burning furiously. Fortunately for Mr. Walker, the
speedy arrival of the engines prevented the Lines from doing
any very serious injury, earept that of the windows, which are
smashed to pieces. The new beds, flocks, and wool, that the
lire had got into, were removed by the firemen to the
enarcb-
yard opposite, and the incessant raw soon put out the tire, as
did the tegiuea on the premises.
CC/lONE:WS INOUISTS.—.I.2St Week an ;ovum
errs held at Mansfield Wood Loose, on •the body of 'Militia
Percival, son of a stone-tusson at Manetield.—The youth had

formed the semicircle, fell down, and instantly killed• bird ow
the spot. The remains were dug out in about twenty 'ninnies,
and it was found that both bin neck and back weiOnolten.

you! in a moment the gun went off, lodging its contents in the
mouth soil throat of Emma, and shivering her lower jaw to

nizing state. The poor young woman was about 19 )ears of
