lIoAx.—A silly trick of this kind has been
practised in a Circular Letter purporting to come
from Mr. KELLY, giving an account of Mr.
WATERS'S having engaged some of the first
singers in Europe, fur the ensuing season at the
Opera-house, and stating that 371. 10s. were
ready at his Banker's, to be returned to the sub-
scribers, according to a Resolution passed at a
Meeting of Noblemen last season.—This hoax is
marked'by nothing but stupidity ; but as such
tricks are often the effect of wanton malevolence,
we sincerely hope that some of the authors will
be discovered and checked in their mischievous
sport, by the discipline of a good horsewhip.

LONGP.YITY.—Mary %Vest, a poor woman, in
her 106th year, many yea's resident in tie parish
of Northfleet, Kent, and a native of the neigh-
bouring parish of Ash, is an object of very
interesting attention. tier understanding is
clear and strong, her memory ready, her voice
even sweet, and her personal strength fully
sufficient for all the common purpo‘es of life.
She rises and sits with ease,dresses and undresses
herself, makes her own bed, and walks in fine
weather n mile or two from her cottage. Nor
can she be considered as entirely past labour, hav-
ing joined the gleaners with great cheerfulness
anti assiduity iii the late harvest. In the course
of the summer she walkud one afternoon to Graves-
end, a distance of at least four miles, and returned
home the next morning. lint the greatest beauty
in this picture is implied by Religion. She is a
Christian, and passes most happily many an
hour, which would hang heavily on the brows
of Ignorance and Impiety, in singing psalms
and hymns► or reading with holy joy and dutiful
anxiety " those Scriptures, in the knowledge of
which standetle our vternia
