BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY--A paragraph bearing
this head crept into our paper of last Sunday, which
we have since discovered was dictated by feelings of
a most reprehensible nature: we are at all times
averse to making our columns the vehicle of private
slander or malicious attack, and we the more regret
that we should have been misled on the present
occasion, us we understand the parties to' whom
allusion was made arc persons of the highest res-
pectability both as to character and connections.
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'. trwnds, 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. real Mrs.
Garrick were a very happy couple, and enjoyed the highest
society in the kingdom, tut the close of 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 Hogarths 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.

castle keeliaen are, it is presented, net wholly without founda-
tion. If bound to their masters, and emalined to their employ-
ment, it seems only reaeurrable that the kerlinen vitoold be
supplied with work saltivieot to enable thew and their Writhes
to live. But by the terror of their present eugagement, it
would appear that the keelmea are bound to their masters with-
out a reciprocal obligetion on the part of the latter to afford the
men sullicieut maintenance. It has been ascertained that in
Mr. Newmarel's colliery, where 100 man are employed more
coostantly than most us the river, their wages have not averaged
more than between 14s. and 130. • week daring the year ;
