At Chelsea, aged 111, Patrick Gibson. He was a purser in the navy, superannuated after he had passed his hundredth year. Gibson was an Irishman, and of a very strong sinewy frame. His hand was like whalebone, and his grip and shake, to the very last. such as would have astonished, if not annihilated the nerves of a modern exquisite. Faithful to his old sea customs, he lived chiefly on salt junk, which he laid in for the week. He was very cheerful, and his conversation extremely entertaining. At the taking of Quebec, where he was a purser in 1759, he had, it seems, gone ashore to bathe, and was in a state of nudity when he perceived boats from the fleet with the immortal Wolfe, and the gallant Admiral who commanded the naval part of the expedition, approaching the spot selected for his ablutions. He had barely time to huddle up his clothes, and take refuge in a hut which stood by the sea-side. It happened that the two commanders walked into the same cabin, and while the shivering purser was in secret trying to get into his shirt and trowsers, he perforce overheard their conversation. Wolfe bluntly stated to the Admiral, that he was determined to attack the heights the next morning; and asked him if he would assist him with the marines from the vessels. "Not only with the marines," was the characteristic reply, "but with every sailor who can he spared to bear a hand." This, said old Gibson, was the only court held on the memorable occasion-the brave officers shook hands upon it, and returned to their boats. The glorious result of their union is a bright page in English history.

NORFOLK.-At Yarmouth, Mr. Cooper, a penurious but benevolent man. Although possessed of a handsome property, he was uniformly clad in the poorest habiliments. Possessed of a commodious house, he made a present of it to a friend, and resided at lodgings. He was exceedingly abstinent; a small piece of meat, and an equally small piece of bread, became his weekly fare. He was once met by a seaman, who swore he would divide his last sixpence with him; the old gentleman took it, and in return presented him with a piece of paper, which was found to be 51. His custom was to enter the abodes of wretchedness, leave a donation, and quit the house in silence.
