Signora Salvini, well known a few years ago in
this country for her musical talents, has been long
abroad, and 'during her absence married an Italian Mar
guess. The late postere of affairs on, the Continent

An extraordinary tirearintaere has occurred at Battle-
bridge, which is the general coaversatlon in the aeigh-

White Hart, at Battle-bridge, and who was labouring
under a dropsical complaint, died rather suddenly ; her
