jEIUIVIA N 'LIFE.—At present the popular
1,4 - opinion is, that the natural duration of life is 70 years,
it this is contrary to both sacred and profane history. This
ski),,irii°4 is, no doubt, founded on a misunderstanding of a
`'the of the 90th Psalm, whore it is indeed stated, " That
71,11.,"'aYs of our Years are threescore years and ten, and if, by
taboarof strength, they be fourscore) ears, yet is their strength
Psalm ;auti sorrow." Now, it must be remembered, that this
lives 0" ascribed to hose., and that he is not speaking of the
I Men in general, but of what was occurring among the
we- in the wilderness. They died not a natural death, but
-14", rtes
off for their sin and unbelief by judicial dispensations.
,(10'1,0 clever Dr. Farre maintains, that 120. is the last grant of
" to man, rand quotes the sixth chapter of Genesis, and the
Iv verse, where it is written, " My spirit shall not always strive
man, for that he also is flesh ; yet his days shall be anhun-
and twenty }ears." Now, we find this expressed on he the part of God gradually carried into effect—the princi-
Pie of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the
era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished ; when
although several centuries had elapsed since the Deluge, we
;)lid that one hundred and twenty years was about the average
,f human existence. Supposing, then, that the theory of long
"fe is well sustained, the question naturally is suggested how
are we to attain what is so desirable ? A wise general, on
The eve of battle, makes a proper disposition of his forces be-
forehand, and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack,
and thus, by forethought and due preparation, reasonably ex-
pects a victory ;--thus, he who has a desire to attain a
healthy, and, consequently,- happy old age, does not indolently
;snit for the attack of the enem, which is sickness, but is
y
constantly en his guard against his insidious approaches, by
paying proper attention to the state of his health. Many
would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her
boperations; but, like a mariner at sea without his compass,
novving not where to steer, they first try this, and then that,
d meet with nothing but disappointment; to those, hew
welcome must be the important fact, that PARR'S MEDI-
ICINE is all that is required, the flue tonio properties it con-
IDoins invariably restores the stomach to a healthy longing
r food ; or, in other words, it produces a good appetite, so
uch envied, but so seldom enjoyed, by the invalid ; the
bPentle stimulating powers it possesses assists the stomach to
sperly digest the food it receives; the balsamic powers it
t°t°,ls on the system produces that delightful feeling of
o'cid spirits so very desirable, and disposes both mind and
1 wears
healthy exercise; everything under. its influence
42 a joyous aspect, and the varied duties of life
sjialtliErforrned with pleasure. It, in addition, contains a fine
atelnave quality, and, instead of long and weary nights, gives
it, it" arid refreshing sleep. If the stomach and bowels require

'1 he Siranyer was acted at this Theatre last evening., Yr.
nart sustaining the principal character,and a more la
anti-
ful'y impassioned piece of natural acting than Mr. Slum t's
Ste: nger we have never seen. In the first seette, in which
he appears as the gloomy Misanthrope, the under current
of kindheartedness and benevolence was visible through
all his assumed moroseness, until, at length, touchi'al by
his servant's kindness and fidelity it bursts forth in tit e
words " Francis—forgive me," which were given by Mr.
Stuart with a warmth of feeling, mingled with an ex-
pression of self-reproaelt that drew down loud applause.
The scene with Steinsfort, too, was excellently given.
There was no rant, no false point, no straining after effe_et ,
at the same 'time there was no tameness ; he detailed
the history of his wrongs, and deSeribed his lacerated
feelings with a tender and impasSioced eloquence that
went to every heart, but yet in the. Very whirlwind of his
passion., he never once " overstepped the modestV
of
Nature." The last scene of the fourth act, in which the
Straw -es. and Mrs. dialler are introduced to each other,
is perhaps one of the most lifficult scenes in the play-
for an actor to give effectively. If over-acted it -is
ridiculous. It' too tamely given, the whole scene is
rendered ineffective. We have never seen this scene
mere effectively rendered titan it was by Mr. Stuart.
lie enters with the air of one not unused to polibeit
society, bows to the Countess, recognises in Mrs, Haller
r his guilty %v ire, starts back for an instant, as though he
1 had seen one raised from the dead, and with a look of
the most intense agony turns to leave the Castle.. Since
the days of Kean we have not had an actor possessed of
such powers of expression as Mr. Stuart, and never was
the expression of intense agony snore finely depicted
than it was by this gimtleman last evening. The
whole of the fifth act was a perfect triumph.
This act, which, in unpractised or inefficient hands,
is either riduculous or disgusting, was given with
an impassioned tenderness, a quiet dignity, which, while
it stamps Mr. Stuart as a man of high genius, went at
once to the hearts of his auditors. Ile stood firm, appa-
rently, as a rock ; but, through all this assumed calm-
ness of demeanour, the terrible conflict that was going
on within, between love and self-respect—the war be-
tween man and society—was distinctly visible, and shook
his frame as with an earthquake's shock. His exqui-
sitely beautiful acting in this the closing scene of the
play was properly appreciated by the audience, the dead
silence which reigned throughout the house I;eige. only
broken by sobs, until the curtain fell, wlitas the
applause was most vociferous. Stuart was, of
course, loudly called for, and made his appearance,
leading on Miss Helen Fritsch, who, as Mrs. Haller, had
rendered him most efficient support, and had fully
earned her share of the applause which was so liberally
bastewed on them both. We watched Mr. Stuart nar-
rowly throughout his whole peeformance, and could not
detect a single flaw in it. His acting last night was per-
fect and faultless, and never, of late years, has the cha-
racter of the Stranger been so well performed. In the
delineation of strong passion he is unrivalled. For
years the country has not sent us up such an actor as
Mr. Stuart ; and 31r. Webster, in having see:tired his
services, may be considered as most fortunate. We can-
net close tick notice without bestowing high praise on
Mr. Gough t;,r the manner in which he acted the little
part of Tobias. By the warn.th of feeling which he
threw intO the pArt, Ito made this generally insignificant
character quite a feature in the piece. We were glad to
see his merits -were properly appreciated, and that he
was rewarded with that applause his exertions so richly
merited. The muse, notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the weather, was well tilled.

THE LATE WALTER H. WATTS
Died on • Tuesday last, at his lodgings in Earl's
court-terrace, Oltrßrompton, after many months o
severe illness and painful staling, which he endure'
with the most manly resigssation, Walter Henry Watts
Esq., at the age of 61. He was the son of Captait
Watts, of the Royal Navy, and we have heard him ma)
that he was born in the Bay of Bengal ; and at a tints
when Colonels were under the discipline of nursery
maids, the same abissye system extended to the navy,
and Mr. Watts was entered a midshipman, and received
pay, from the time of his birth.
Mr. Watts was educated in Chester, and began life
as an artist. He travelled through Scotland and it
islands, towards the latter end of the last century, wit
Dr. Garnet, and contributed the drawings to- the ton
published by that gentleman, in quarto. He pursuci
his profession some time iu Glasgow, and repaired to th
metropolis about forty years ago. Professional distinctiot
is slowly acquired here, and without any idea of de
voting himself permanently to literature, Mr. Watt
was induced to accept of an engagement as a Parliamen-
tary reporter on the Morning Post, at a time when the
House of Commons could boast of a Pitt, a Fox, a
Sheridan, a Windham, and a Tierney. As a reporter,
his qualifications were of the very first class, and the
value of his services was acknowledged by conditions
more than usually advantageous, which enabled him to
devote much of the time of the session, and all the recess,
to professional pursuits.
As a miniature painter, he attained considerable ex-
cellence, and was-a• regular exhibitor at Somerset-house
for many years. At one time he occupied very expensive
apartments in Bond-street, and wished to devote himself
exclusively to art; but the experiment did not succeed,
and he was obliged to continue his connection with the
newspaper press, which only terminated within a few
years of his death. With the exception of a' brief period
during which he was one of the editors of the Courier,
Mr.. Watts was from 1817 a parliamentary reporter on.
the Morning Chronicle. He was the author, and editor
of theAnnualDbitnary, and of the " Political Memento,''
'and contributed, for above twenty years, criticisms on the!
fine arts to the Literary Gazette.
Mr. Watts possessed qualities rarely found together
in the same man. The wealth of worlds would not have
induced him to do or say what he could not reconcile
with the strictest principle ; and he was, at the same
time, indulgent in the extreme to the weaknesses of
others. A man of a kinder disposition never lived, and
his purse and services were always at the command- of
the distressed. Of a chivalrous disposition, he held
everything mean or little in .peculiar abhorence ; and
though driven about for forty years in a metropolis, the
atmosphere of which is supposed not to be peculiarly fa-
vourable to exalted principles, it may be said with con-
fidence of Mr. Watts, that he remained to the last a
model ofall that was pure, honourable, and disinterested.
No one who knew him could ever conceive of Mr. Watts
that, under any circumstances, he would not prove himself
an example of the most unbending integrity.
In his private circle he was beloved, and we need
hardly say that his virtues obtained for him the highest
consideration with all who were connected with the
daily press. He possessed an influence with them which
no man ever before possessed, and, in all probability, no
man ever will again.
We close ourshort tribute to the memory of this excellent
man with the following extract from a notice in the Lite-
rary Gazette, by his friend Mr. Jerdan :
" He was an artist and an author ; and in both pur-
suits. his career was honourable and honoured. In
truth, his manly integrity and unflinching firmness in
every circumstance of life shed a lustre over it so bright,
that the greatest of men belonging to history might be
proud to have it like as a hale round their name and
memory for ever. There could he no station in so-
ciety which it would not illuminate and adorn ; and
there are hundreds •of living witnesses to what we
now write, in London, who will bear testimony to the
fact, that we could employ no language too expressive
or forcible when speaking of the excellence of the indi-
vidual who has been takn from amongst us. it was
not his general attainments, though they were of no com-
mon order ; it was not his judgment, though penetrating
and sound; it was not his artistical skill, though of ac-
knowledged talents; it was not his authorship, though of
the purest English style and the highest British prin-
ciples; it was not these gifts and qualities, separately or
combined, which endeared him to all who had the hap-
piness of his intimacy; but it was the possession of a
tine and superior nature, which shone through all he
said or did; and made even slight acquaintance look
up to him as a model of uncompromising worth and human
virtue. Mr. Watts was very many years a reporter of the
debates in Parliament for the press; at one period for the
Morning Post, and at a later period for the Morning Chro-
nick In the discharge of the duties thus imposed upon him
he has not been surpassed, and seldom equalled. On all
difficult occasions ho was resorted to as the referee and
oracle of the partiel with whom this employment con-
nected him ; and it may be recollected, that when the
Duke of Cambridge presided at the festival on behalf of
the infant formation-of the institution-for- the benelitof
newspaper writers, at the Thatched House Tavern, about
three years ago, Mr. Watts was chosen by that body to
be their spokesman, and delivered on the occasion an
address of singular appropriateness and brilliant effect,
for which his Royal Highness complimented bins in the
warmest terms. He was, indeed, one of the most zealous
founders of this most laudable Association, and always
took an earnest interest in its prosperous establishment."

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A

BANK TELLER.

A case is under investio.atiou by the Magistrates at
Glasgow, which has excited very considerable interest in
the city, involving, as it does, circumstances of a very
serious nature against one of the tellers of the Glasgow
and Ship Bank, an old and a highly-respectible esta-
blishment. We has., no means of ascertaining what
transpired at the judicial examination of the parties on
Titesda, which occupied the attention of the sitting
Magistrates, the assessor, and Procurator Fiscal, for
nearly ten hours ; but front other sources we have ob-
tained some particulars of a most extraordinary charac-
ter, which we shall now buy haul e our readers_ It ap-
pears that, late on Monday evening, information was
lodged at the police other, by persons connected with
the above bank, that, in the cash transactions of Mr.
Robert Smith. the teller, there were deficiencies to the
extent of 2.000/.; in consequence of which, Capt. Miller
went to Smith's lodgings, in West Nile-street, about two
in the morni:g, roused him from his bed, and took hint
into custody nr examination as to embezalement to the
above amount. On his way Si) the office, we learn that
Smith was much affected. lle said that he had been.
made a tool," or words to that effect ; and added that

he was 4* a second Beaumont Smith," or expressions of,
a similar import. The books and papers 14und in his
lodging were then obtained and carefully ermined,
when there were found numerous documents, and among
others several bank cheques tbr various sums, from 3001.
to 1,0001. on different banks, on Which was the name of
Mr. James Wishart, wine and spirit-merchant, High--
street ; and this circumstance, taken in connexion with
the statement said to be made by Smith, was a. point not
to be overlooked. Captain Miller the same morning
took Mr. Wishert into custody, and about twelve o'clock
in the day the examination or the parties commenced.
Among Wishart's effects there were found certain docu-

meats which led to the belief that the sum deficient
'must be to a much larger amount than was at first re-
ported, reaching prolaly to upwards of ten thousand
pounds ; -and it is supposed that Wishart must have
obtained cash from Smith to the amount of 6,000/.
How the bank orders came into Smith's possession, is a
circumstance which cannot be accounted fr; and why he
retitined such papers, is equally a subject of con picture,
seeing that he had not at the time a sixpence in advance
in the bank. How a fraud could be committed by the
teller of ally bank to such au extent, is a matter of mere
conjecture. Ilis exchanges with other banks are made
up every eight, and it is aupposed that it must have
been in this process that the deficiency appeared. Smith
was a young man of eharactkr and acquirements. He
come to Glasgow about fifteen wars ago, through the
influence of sir. Brown, of the Old Ship Bank, and was
teller in that establishment when it was united to the
Glasgow Bank. Of late years he has been much in the
company of gamblers, and :vas also expensive in his
habits. lie kept a pair of' tine horses, and appeared to

\Vishart's brother, who is, shopman in the cellar in
High-street, was also examinee, bttt was not detained.
Smith and IVishart were, at the close of the examina-
tion, about twelve o'clock, committed to the North
Prison, to bt: further examined in this singular business.

at the Dockyard. The arysfort has obtained the great-
est proportion of these volunteers.
The Warspite, 30, Capt. the Right Hon. Lord John
Hay, has been reported ready for sea for some days. She
will go out of harbour on Tuesday, and will not remain
at Spithead more than a few hours, whence she will
proceed to the Downs or Sheerness, preparatory to her
sailing to Ostend or Antwerp, to convey the King of
Prussia to this country.

THE MOIZNING PAYERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE —The proposal made on the Fart
*of the Mexican Governnient to equalize the rights of
their creditors are, we believe, that the arrears for the
years front the Ist of October, 1837, to the Ist of Oc-
tober, 1839, should be abandoned, as no revenue for
customs was obtained during these years ; that the
coupons front the Ist of October, 1839, to the Ist of
October, 1841, should be postponed until paid off gra-
dually I,y the surplus expected out of the one-fifth part
of the custom revenues to be assigned for the
dividenth, instead of one-sixth, and an additional
atl9wart?.c out of the custom-houses of the Pacific ;
that those who received custom-house certificates
lir 1838 and 1839 should give up their coupons for
1842 and 1843, so as to place themselves 011 a foot-
ing of equality with those who have received nothing
for the last four years, all current dividends to be paid
after October, 1811. The appropriation of a specific
.portion o 1 these revenues to the discharge of their
obligations to the bondholders is creditable to Mexico ;
but there appears to be no small degree of complexity
in adjusting the claims of their creditors on an equitable
footing, according to the plan proposed. Some of their

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselc.s, and
even bad Looks. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
111eseirs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of tho source and origin of inany of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quota passages from the work in prrof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the
few hooks now coming before the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us cx •
tramely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita -
tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, suPb as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, ke., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, ikc., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
c;ne, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative Journal.

and to taken dis Cant and postponed claim for those of
1839 and 1841. But, then, to make up for these
drawbacks they are to rece:ve their dividends for 1842
and 1843, while those who received payment of 1838
and 187t9 are to be posponed, on the other hand, to
aimodon, we presume, their coupons for the two next
years, in the same way as the others are asked do
for the last named.

SUN. —Out of doors money was less in request, but
the inquiry.for it amore the the jobbers and dealers in the
ftinds.ivas kept up, and this prevented any advance in
the quotations. It seems, however, nut at all impro-
bable that the market will overcome the efforts of the
speculators liar a fall, if tile public evince the least dispo-
sition to invest any considerable portion of their forth-
coming dividends. For pl.( sent transfer, Consols were
