THE CONDEMNED CONVICT BOUSFIELD.—This culprit,
whose execution is fixed to take place on Monday, the
31st inst., for the murder of his wife and three children,
still continues to exhibit that dull taciturnity which he
has displayed since his conviction, although constantly
attended by the Rev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of New-
gate, whose exertions have been unremitting to awaken
him to a sense of the awful position in which he stands,
but with little success. He persists in reiterating his
former statement that the whole scene of the murder is
to him a dream and a delusion ; he still declares he has
no recollection of it, and chugs to that statement with
obstinacy. It is the opinion of the governor and other
authorities of the gaol, and all those who have visited
and conversed with him, that he is perfectly sane, and
had a full knowledge of the crime at the time of com-
mitting the murder. He does not deny the justice of
the sentence, and expresses no hope of his life being
spared.
A TRUE BEITON.—A few days since a paragraph ap-
peared in the Morning Post in reference to the longevity
of the inhabitants of Bath, from which it appeared that
one in about every nine hundred of them was a non-
ogecaiian, which the writer stated no other town in the
kingdom could boast of, and that the only place besides,
which came at all near it in this respect, was Teign-
mouth, in which those above ninety were in the propor-
tion of one to every twelve hundred. The writer of the
paragraph, however, is mistaken ; for in the town cf
Crediton, Devon, which contains 4,500 inhabitants, a
correspondent knows six individuals, aged respectively
95, 93, 93, 91, 90, and 90 (and an inquiry in several
back streets and courts might probably discover still
more nonogenarians). The youngest of these six is Mary
Briton, who still possesses all her faculties in a wonder-
ful degree, walks out with a light, active step during all
weathers, sometimes without a bonnet, and is still
strong enough to draw water from a well. She has been
regularly to church every night during the present week,
where she reads from her prayer-book without the aid of
spectacles. Another old lady, who resides with her, is
84, and has all her faculties unimpaired. Crediton,
which has long been noted for the longevity' of its inha-
bitants, has produced several centenarians, one of whom,
the wife of surgeon, died not many years since.—
