Now, in the pocket, keep the left from sight, Whilst, o'er your breast, you spread the ruffled

right;

Now, in your robe, the naked right repose,

Whilst, down your left, the woeful cambric flows. Thus, though half skill'd, as well as half array'd, You'd make a change which Garrick never made."

MRS. GARRICK'S WILL.

THIS lady left to Mrs. Siddons a pair of gloves which were Shakspeare's, and were presented to her late husband during the Jubilee at Stratford, by one of her (Mrs. S.'s) family.

To Nathaniel Egerton Garrick, the snuff-box given to her late husband by the Duke of Parma.

To her nephew, Christopher Garrick, and his wife, all the plate which was bought upon her marriage; also a service of pewter, which her husband used, when a bachelor, bearing the name of Garrick, with a wish, that the same should al

ways remain with the head of the family; also the picture of her husband, in the character of Richard the Third, which was purchased by her after her husband's decease.

To Nathaniel Egerton Garrick, a portrait, painted by Zoffany, of her husband without a wig, which she bought, after his decease, of Mr. Bradshaw, to whom it had been given as a pre

To Archdeacon Pott, two hundred pounds towards the education of the poor children of St. Martin's parish.

To the Rev. Mr. Archer, minister of the Roman Catholic Chapel, in Warwick Street, one hundred pounds, and a farther sum of one hundred pounds for the education of the Charity Children of Warwick-street Chapel. There were innumerable other legacies of articles of plate, jewels, linen, &c. and money to a considerable amount, but of no material public interest. Her executors were the Rev. Thomas Racket and Frederick Beltz, Esq. To the former, she left books and prints to the value of one hundred pounds; and, to the latter, fifty pounds in books and prints, and one hundred pounds in money. After discharging the numerous legacies, her debts and funeral expenses, Mrs. Garrick directed the residue of her estate, including a bond for six thousand pounds due from the late and present Duke of Devonshire to the late Mr. Garrick, to be converted into cash, and afterwards invested in Austrian securities for her niece, Elizabeth de Saar, wife of Peter de Saar, of Vienna, for her sole use and benefit, during her life; and, after her death, to her grandchildren.

SCHILLER'S ROBBERS."

SOON after the appearance of the "Robbers," the scholars of the school of Fribourg, where it was represented, were so struck and captivated with the grandeur of its hero, Moor, that they agreed to form a band, like his, in the forests of Bohemia. They had elected a young nobleman for their chief, and had pitched on a beautiful young lady for his Amelia, whom they were to carry off from her parents' house, to accompany their flight. To the accomplishment of this purpose, they had bound themselves by the most solemn and impressive oaths. But the conspiracy was discovered by an accident, and its execution prevented.

QUIN'S " CORIOLANUS."

THE following ludicrous incident occurred during a Rehearsal of "Coriolanus," while it was preparing for the benefit of Thomson's sisters. Quin's pronunciation was of the Old School. In this Garrick had made an alteration. The one

pronounced the letter a open, the other sounded it like an e, which occasioned the following mistake. In the scene where the Roman ladies come in procession, to solicit Coriolanus to return to Rome, they are attended by the Tribunes, and

the Centurions of the Volscian Army, bearing fasces, their Ensigns of authority. They are ordered by the Hero, the part of which was enacted by Quin, to lower them, as a token of respect. But the men who personated the Centurions, imagining, through Quin's mode of enunciation, that he said their faces, instead of their fasces, all bowed their heads together.

HENRY JONES, AUTHOR OF THE EARL OF ESSEX."

THIS self-taught genius was a bricklayer, whom Lord Chesterfield patronized. His tragedy of the "Earl of Essex" obtained for him some celebrity, and procured him a footing in the Theatre, which enabled him to levy contributions upon players, by writing puffs, and praising them in verse.

The end of Jones was melancholy, for a man of ability. After being intoxicated for two days, he was found, on the night of the third, crushed by a waggon in St. Martin's-lane, without his coat or hat. He was carried to the parish workhouse, and there terminated his career, in the year 1770. His papers fell into the hands of Reddish the player, who volunteered as executor;
