Until the last moment, he remained in posses- sion of his whole intellectual faculties, and he had the consolation of embracing once more the persons of his family most beloved by him. For now above a quarter of a century the name of M. Lafitte has shone at the head of the list of the purest patriots. For 50 years past all the unfortunate have been accustomed to turn their eyes towards him as towards a Providence.

HOUSE-WARMING DINNER, RED LION HOTEL, PONTARDULAIS. G. VAUGHAN BEGS to acquaint his Friends and the Public, that his HOUSE-WARMING DINNER, which was announced to take place on the 28th day of May, is POSTPONED till the 7th Day of JUNE, 1844, in con- sequence of the Pembrey Races taking place on the first mentioned day, and of which Races Wm.

Otter Hunting to commence at 7 o'clock in the Morning.

THE CYMREIGYDDION.—The Abergavenny Cym- reigyddion Society, which has been converted from a local anniversary into a great national festival, will be conducted this year on a scale of unusual splendour. Amongst the principal visitors and supporters of the society will be the Lord Bishop of St. David's, Lord Bishop of Llandaff, Lord James Stuart, Lord Granville Somerset, M.P., Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., Charles Morgan, Esq., M.P., the Honourable Captain Gore, Sir John Guest, Lady Charlotte Guest, and Lady Edwards. Prizes will, as usual, be awarded for Welsh traditional tales, and for accounts of ancient families connected with the principality, and also for the best specimens of the produce of Wales. Various other prizes will also be awarded to harpers, singers, and the composers of Welsh airs. The meeting will be held in September. Another instance of incendiarism in Suffolk occurred about 11 o'clock on the night of Friday last at Mr. Norton's farm, near Assington-hall. Through the exertions of some of the villagers the house was saved but the agricultural buildings with their contents were burnt to the ground. By the force of the wind the flames rolled from the spot of devastation across Six-acre-field, and coming in contact with a double cottage (thatched), in five minutes the whole was in flames, and only a very small portion of the poor inmates' furniture could be saved. As the wind blew from the point it did, the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the village, which was in a direct line with Mr. Norton's premises and the double cottage; and those fears, unfortunately, were not ill-founded, for from the gale increasing the flames from the cottage went through the air at a short distance from the earth like thunder, in the direction of the Shoulder'of Mutton public-house and a butcher's shop, occupied by Mr. Godden, which in a short time took fire, from which the devouring element reached four cottages in the street, which ° were all consumed, and little of the furniture saved. Fortu- nately, the other houses in the street escaped, owing to the flames travelling in a contrary direction to where they stood. By the calamity six poor families are rendered houseless and penniless. AVhen efforts were made to drive the pigs from the premises they one and all rushed into the flames, when :their shrieks were appalling for a short time while in the agonies of death, and the whole perished. The neighbourhood is in the greatest state of excitement, and unfortunately no clue has at present been obtained to the incendiary villain. The damage is roughly estimated at nearly £ 5,000. THE COOPERAGE TRADE. Lord Howick and Mr. Hutt have done themselves much honour by the fearless and consistent stand which they made in the House of Commons, last week, in favour of that portion of the working classes which is engaged in cooper-work throughout the kingdom. Our present ridiculous sys- tem of duties operates as a prohibition to the exercise of British industry, so far as the manufacture of casks is concerned. The duty on staves in this country is ridiculously high, and its mode of assessment is er- roneous and onerous in the extreme whilst in our colonies every facility exists for the importation of the labours of the coopers of the United States. Ministers, in answer to the representation of honourable members, admitted the giievance but, as usual, huckstered and peddled on the subjcct of a remedy. They thought something might be done, by allowing coopers to work in bond for exportation." Why palter in this double and discreditable sense with the principle of free-trade ? Why not act upon the suggestion of the members for Sunderland and Gateshead, and repeal the duty at once —and not only the duty on staves, but every other duty which acts as a bounty towards the foreign artizan, at the expense of our own ?—Gateshead Observer. THE EVENING SUN.—We were not at all surprised to see that The Sun took the lead on the Derby day distancing" all contemporaries, by we know not how many lengths. For a long series of years, always in- deed before the levelling" process of railroad travel- ling which necessarily introduced equality, the Sun's Expresses were justly celebrated all over the world as the ne plus ultra of "extraordinary despatch" as being the best as well as the fastest things ever known on the press. Nothing ever did or could come up to them and Mr. Young, in that important line, earned a cha- racter for the paper which he conducts with such re- markable energy and ability, that still seems attached to it. The Sun, we said, beat all the other Evening Papers on the Derby day. The circumstance is pleasantly mentioned by our time-and-distance defying con- temporary in the following paragraph :—"It is an old remark that private enterprise beats public compe- tition and this was signally verified on the Derby- day" by The Sun Express from Epsom Downs. Other Expresses are generally now performed by steam, on rail or water, or by horses; but the Derby was done by pigeons, which neither stop for water nor turnpikes, but shoot along their straightforward course, rejoicing in the blue serene It is with pigeons as with horses- quick or indifferent, and they have this peculiarity in common—that as a horse will always come home faster than he goes out, so will the pigeon and to increase this feeling in the bird, advantage is sometimes taken of natural causes. For instance, a pigeon that left young ones at home will travel much faster than an indifferent bird. If money makes the mare to go," instinct is sure to make the bird to fly-and fly with increasing joy at its nearer approach to home! It was so on the Derby-day. Our private Extraordinary Express beat our public one so much, that The Sun was delivered on 'Change and all over town before our public one reached the office. We had thus the exclusive pleasure, not only of distancing" our rivals, but the rather Irish satisfaction of beating ourselves!" Seeing what the master-mind of The Sun has done on former occasions, we more than half believe that its editor and proprietor would any day, not only outstrip all rivals, but all the world besides. If he were to enter for the Derby even one of those coursers, bestride which his dare-devils daily dash through the streets with bales of paper before them at the rate of something like 20 miles an hour, such is our notion of his force of character and com- mand" over success" that we would back The Sun's nag against the field. It is thought by the Bankers' Circular that the intro- duction of foreign wool for consumption in England rather benefits than injures the British wool-grower. The Mark Lane Express is in t:xtacies at seeing that his Grace of Richmond has been again elected President of the Society. It is an appointment" says the Express, which will meet the hearty concurrence of every friend of agriculture. There can scarcely be, in our humble judgment, a more proud position in reference to agriculture than that in which the noble Duke will, after the Southampton Meeting, be placed; he will be, at one and the same time. President of the Royal Agriculture Society of England, President of the Highland Society of Scotland, and President of the General Agricultural Protection Society. More conclusive evidence of the estimation in which he is held by the British farmers could not be adduced." DESERTION FROM THE 58TII FOOT.-A great num- ber of cases of desertion are reported to have lately oc- curred in this regiment, the head-quarters of which em- barked last week for New South Wales, wh ther the remainder is soon to follow. On Monday morning, a young man, named George Duke, was brought before the bench of magistrates at Rochester, in the custody of a constable and sergeant of the 58th, charged with being a deserter, under the following circumstances :— The constable stated that on Friday afternoon, the 24th inst. he went into a low public-house, on the Brook, j at Chatham, and saw the prisoner there, dressed in sailor's clothes suspected he was a soldier, and asked him the question' but he denied it. However, he took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed him to the bar- racks, where he was recognised. Although only nine- teen, this is his third attempt at desertion. The pri- soner denied lie had any intention to desert, and asserted that he had at once told the constable what regiment lie belonged to. The sergeant said that the prisoner had only been absent that morning, and was under punish- ment at the time. The magistrates asked whether the Colonel would not take the prisoner back as a straggler, as he had only been absent a few hours, and was found within a mile of the barracks; but the sergeant said, 11 No, he was found in plain clothes, and the Colonel would try him as a deserter." The magistrates convicted the prisoner, and gave him up to his depot.

TESTIMONIAL TO WILLIAM CHAMBERS, ESQ., JUN. AT a MEETING of the Inhabitants of LLA-, ELLY L and its Neighbourhood, held on the 5th of FEBRUARY, 1844, It was wiatiimously Resolved, to present WILLIAM CHAMBERS, Esq., Jun., WITH A PIECE OF PLATE, As a lasting Testimonial, that his intrepid conduct during the whole of the Rebecca Riots, his often- expressed anxiety, and public offer to use his utmost endeavours and influence in getting redressed the great TOLL grievance of the country by every lawful means,— and subsequently his fearless devotion as a Magistrate in assisting to put down a bold but insane attempt to destroy the barriers of LAW and SOCIAL OUDER, in- volving as they do in their consequences, personal security, house and home, life, and the sacredness of private property,-al,e duly appreciated by his Friends, his Neighbours, and his Towiisiiieii and it is hoped and expected, that many country Gentlemen, participating in the like feeling, will honour the Subscription List with their names, and the cause with their support. I The question involved, although local in its action, is really universal in its bearing, and the Committee for carrying into eifcct the above object boldly call upon ALL parties to support an active Magistrate in the firm exercise of his duties for the preservation of property and peace :-and they further presume to suggest to the intelligence of a shrewd and patriotic people the admi- rable spirit and policy of rewarding men of Mr. Cham- bers' stamp by holding them up as the best bulwarks of their country. They have great pleasure in directing the attention of the subscribers, and the public in general, including Rebecca and her Children, to the report of the Com- missioners of Inquiry for South Wales, see page 12.5 to page 130—and particularly to the statement of Toll- grievances in the appendix pages 465 and 466 furnished by Mr. Wm. Chambers-a document at once convincing and complete in all its parts, and with which the Com- missioners, with excellent judgmentand sound tact, wind up their proceedings. The Committee feel that they cannot better close their case than by the grateful acknowledgment that the sub-I scription of the good and learned Bishop of St. David's speaks volumes in favour of the purity and solidity of the principle always intended, and now determined to be carried out by this Testimonial.

Further testimonials of the eiffcacy of this Medicine. TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON, Frimley, near Bagshot, Surrey, April 23, 1843. SIR,—I enclose three cases in which the parties therein named have received great benefit from using Blair's Pills, and the truth of which I am at any time ready to make affidavit of if required. You are at perfect liberty to publish them if you think proper. Hoping this may induce the incredulous to make a trial of the Pills, which will speedily convince them of their value I am, Sir, yours truly, JOHN J. GILES, Pirbright, April 23, 1843. DEAR SIR,—Upon your recommendation, I sent for a box of Blair's Rheumatic Pills, and to my astonishment a few doses entirely removed the tormenting pains my wife had suffered so long, but having caught a severe cold the rheumatism again returned, when having re- course to a few more Pills, it again fled, and has not since returned. The public are not generally aware of the efficacy of this truly valuable medicine, or few would suffer from rheumatism. In consequence of witnessing the- effects of the above medicine in my own family, I recommended Edward Bridger, now sixty-seven years of age, a labourer and jobbing gardener, to apply to you, he being much afflicted with rheumatism for twenty years; he could scarcely get any sleep, being always worse when in bed. and unable to walk without the assistance of a stick, You gave him some Pills. I saw him yesterday; he told me he could now get rest, which he had been unable to do for a very long time, he is still lame from the length of time lie has been afflicted, but can now walk without much inconvenience ten or twelve miles in the day, and can, as he says, do any light work he has ap- plied to me for a job at hoeing. It is distressing to see a fellow creature suffering such excruciating pain, when relief can be obtained by taking Blair's Gout and Rheu- matic Pills. I shall, for the benefit of those who may suffer, continue to recommend them. I am, dear Sh, yours truly, To John J. Giles, Esq., GEO. INNWOOD. Frimley, Surrey. Blackwatcr, near Bagshot, Feb. 25, 1843. DEAR GII.ES,—The cffect of Blair's Pills has been everything I could wish for. I had symptoms of the Gout during Wednesday night; I took two Pills during the night, and two in the morning, which quite removed the pain; and I was enabled to give a lecture at Hartly Row on Thursday evening, although I was in fear that morning I should not have been enabled to leave home. I am, dear Sir, yours truly, To J. J. Giles, Esq. EDW. J. LANCE. To the above gratifying communications, the pro- prietor of BLAIR'S GOLT and RHEUMATIC PILLS considers any comment from him would be superfluous.

LENCTH OF LIFE. AT present, the popular opinion is that the natural duration of human life is seventy years, but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history. The clever Dr. Farre maintains that 120 years is the last grant of God to man, and quotes the 6th chapter of Genesis and the 3rd verse, were it is writen, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is fleshr! vet his days shall be an hundred and twenty yeafs? Now we find this expressed intention on the part of Go, gradually carried into effect—the principle of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished; when although several centuries having elapsed since the deluge, we find that 120 years was about the average of human existence. Abraham lived to the age of I i5 years of his sons, Isaac and Ishmael the former died at the age of 180, and the latter at 137. Jacob lived to be 147 years old, and his son Joseph, though subject to all the excitements arising from the peculiar trying circumstances in which he was placed, reached the age of 110 years. Several ages after the time of Joseph, we find Moses living to be 120 year' old while the inspired historian relates concerning him, that, his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated." Joshua who succeeded him in the government of the Israclitics, died at the age of 119 years: and Eli, at a much latcr period, reached 89 years, and then died, not of old age, nor of disease, but was killed by a fall from his seat, on hearing that the Philistines had trumphed over the Israelites, and slain his sons, Hophni and Pliincas, and taken the ark of God. Since the commencement of the Christian era, therc have been very many instances recorded of extreme longevity. Such instances are still often occurring, and thcy are sufficiently numerous to prove that man is not so constituted as to render it inevitable that he should die at so early a period as usually bounds his present existence. Haying now shown 111at the vears of man are not limited to so brief a span as 76 years first from the bible, which expressly says, (6th chap. Genesis, 3rd verse) Yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years secondly, from philosophy, which naturally infers that if one man has reached what is now considered an extended term of years, others may do the same; again true philosopv is always consonant with holy writ: thirdly, from the instances which have occurred of extreme longevity, can a reasonable mind require more than scripture, philosophy and precedent ? Supposing, then, that the theory of long life is well sustained, the question is naturally suggested how are we to attain what is so desirable ? A wise general on the eve of battle mahs a proper disposition of his forces before- hand, and docs not wait till the enemy has made an attack, and thus by due preparation, reasonably expects a victory thus he who has a desire to attain a healthy and consequently happy old age, docs not indolently wait for the attack of the enemy, which is sickness, but is constantly on his guard" against hili insidious approaches, by paying proper attention to the state of his health. Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations; but like a mariner at sea without his compass knowing not where to steer, they first try this and then that, and meet with nothing but disappointment; to those how welcome must be the important fact that Old Thomas Parr's ledicine is all that is required to conquer disease and prolong life: the fine tonic properties it has been discovered to contain, invariable restores the stomach to a healthy longing for tood; or 111 the other words, it has been proved to he the identical preparations of herbs, which were collected by Old Parr to suit his once enfeebled system, and by its use he attained the astonishing age of 152 years. This discovery and the making of the compound into pllls, 18 one of the greatest blessings that eyer call he conferred for the general good on the whole human family. Cases of cure from the use of liife Pills, may be seen in next weeks Paper, and testimonials may be had gratis of all Agents for the sale of Parr's Life Pills. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
