A modern Author has said, that " no metaphysi-
&au ewer felt the deficiency of language so much as
the grateful!"

dArtRICK.—A writer in the Quaid/cm:a of Satur-
day se'rnight, in a review of a work on the Stage,
gives the fallowing anecdote of GARRICK :
" A young Lady felt a violent passion for a Frenchman whom
she saw in London, without being acquainted with him. He
was just about to quit' the beaks of the Thames, ignorant, no
doubt, that he was leaving one behilld who was to be the Tic-
tins of his absence. The British Dido, threatened with this cruel
departures and wishing not entirely to lose the object of her
adoration, pointed out the handsome Frenchman to Gramme in
a pkblie plate, begging hint to preserve a remembrance of his
features. Camases, who probably at oice'perceived in this the
*Mc( a lover, made himself so completely master of the coun-
tenance of the young stranger, that he was soon able to console
histoo sensitive countrywoman, by presenting a portrait of the
Frenchman, which a painter had'been able to render a striking
Wants, from the wonderful imitation of Gassier. This little
story, for the truth of which I do not answer, does not appear
surprising,when we remain the Memoirs of GARRICK his ad-
venture-at \reveilles, where, in the midst of the Court, when
he bad seep Louis XV. only once, be represented the lilajesdc
frames of the King with such perfection, that every one ea-
claimed trite le Iloi ! Ifite Loris XV !"

Dtartoguce..-The licentious Earl of ROCITESTER
was so diffideati that he never could make a speech
in the House-of Lords; and is said never to have at-
teisrpted it but once, when, addressing himself to the-
House, he said—" -My Lords—l rise this time, my
Lords—J. divide my discourse into.four branches."—
Ifere he became confused, and could proceed no fur-
thicr.; at length mustering up courage, he added—
" My Lords, if ever I rise again in this House, Igive
yPu leave to cut me off; root and branch, for ever."—
Attotsom's diffidence in the House'of Commons is
well known, he having risen three times without being
able to utter more than—" I conceive, Mr. Speaker."
—An inferior Member observed..." But nothing
has been.brought forth?—" I never could speak in
public," Pan .once observed; 61. and -I do not believe
that.. if,it were a set thing, I could give an account
of.-any. story to twelve friends together—though I
could tell it to any three of them with a great deal o'
plbiltbre. When I was to appear for the -Bishop of
Rocatearaa, on his trial, though I had but ten-words
to say, and that en a.plain, easy point (how the-Bi-
shop spent histitne while I was with,him at Bromley),
I made two or three blunders in it; and that notwith-
standing, the first row of Lords (which were all I
could see) were mostly of my acquaintance."
Muunta...—An Inquest has been held on the body
of the unfortunate woman so cruelly murdered at
Llanbet!ri of which we gave an account some few
days since. Her name is Jane Owens, aged 79.
Tbe :evidence- before the Coroner was as follows:
William.. Evans stated, that on Tuesday morning,
about. ten.o'clock, he went to the house of the de-
ceased; there ..was no person in the house but Jane
Joues,.aged seven years, . who is grand-daughter
to the deceased: witness .found the deceased behind
the counter in the.shop, lying with her face towards
the ground, quite dead, with both her hands closely
shut, and applied to her chin and mouth, and appa-
rently as if to defend herself from a fall or blow.
Deceased had not been more than three months- a
widow, and since the death of her husband, no one
slept in the same house with -her, except her little
grand-daughter. Robert Jones, brother-in-law of
deceased, searched the house after the murder. The
different cupboards and drawers where the money
was usually kept were locked: there was in one box
about 1501. in notes and gold : in the drawers of one
of 'the tables about 51. in silver, and a considerable
sum of copper in the till, where the shop money is
kept.--Jane Jones (seven years old) stated, that she
went to bed earlier than her grandmother; that she
heard a noise as if some people were knocking at the
door, and she also heard the voice of some men in
the house ; deceased cried out more than once,
66 Murder 1 oh, that my little girl was here to save
me." She then heard some noise, as if people were
searching. the drawers; and they shortly after left
the house. Mr. Davies, surgeon, said he examined
the body of the deceased,.and that he found the infe-
rior maxillary bone of the right side of the face
fractured, and also an extensive fracture of the supe-
rior maxillary and temporal bones of the left side of
the head, with' considerable depression, causing pres-
sure of the brain. The face was discoloured from
extravasation of the blood, and there were three
marks on each side of the neck, as if by finger nails.
Deponent is of opinion that the fracture caused the
death of the deceased. Verdict—That the deceased
came to her death from the fracture of the skull and
face, committed by some person or persons unknown.
Suspicion, however, having attached to a labouring
snan named Harry Jones, and Margaret his wife;
residing at Rallt-gwillt, near Llanbedr, a warrant ,
was granted, and after a diligent search, they found
:Wall in:shillings ; to account for the possession. of
which, he 'tleclated,l that.,he entered thebousethe
right leer the murder, and finding this sumbe took
it, and'carried it home. It be necessary heseto
state, that:the wife is the illegitimate -daoghtee
deceased's late. husband, and the grand-daughter
altededinin- the Inquest;' is -the child of this sus-
pected • conple. They are fully committed, apd
lodged in the County Gaol.
