LoNccetTv.—An instance of it occurs in an old

tadel of risimon,h, oho ....us born on the •14th of
August, 1719. anti why., if he lives to the same
period of August next, will consequently he one
hundred and one years of age. He is a -pensioner
in the garrison at Pyinouth at two shillings per
day, and his rent 'fre. lie has a infirm
wife, who has been painfully afflicted for (hilly-
eight years past, to whom he is very attentive and
kind. He ,vas at the battle of Culloden in 1745,
walks perfecrly uptight and strong, and has all
Ms faculties clear and good, excepting one eye,
which he lost tit the battle Cifiliantirvine, in the
-first American war. He is much remarked for
his attention and cleanliness; and fegulapy attends
the dissenting meeting at Plymouth every Sun-

The Duke of WELLINGTON, on his late visit to
Plymouth, notieed,him !torch, entered into con-
versation with hint, asked several questions, and
presented trim.avith aIL note. He is, as may be
supposed, an object of interesting corioi.ty to the
inhabitants of Plymouth rand its neighbourhood ;
anti on taking leave of his visitors, generally re-
quests the favour of being permitted to kiss the
hand of the Ladies, which he does in 'the most
han&otne soldier-like manner.

This interesting ceremony, which is at once bo-
noniable to the character of the nation, and to
that •of the deceased, attracted cruwds alone the
whole line, which extended the length ot Fleet-
street and Ludgate-hill. The solemn grandeur Cif
the spectacle was observable in the countenances
of the beholders—evert those who.were not sensi-
ble of the melancholy interest •of what was pass-
ing before them, were moved by the .sombrous
but picturesque character of the scene which they
were beholding. Public business was for a while
totally suspended along the line of procession,
and many of the shops closed.

silk sashes uuder their cloaks. The Students wore
