Longevity.—In the parish of Acton, Middlesex, still exist the lineal posterity of the famous Bishop Cranmer, who was burnt at the stake by order of Queen Mary, nearly 300 years ago. One of them, an old lady, named Whytell, has completed her 112th year, and retains her intellectual and bodily faculties to a surprising extent.
West's Painting.—The Earl of Egremont has purchased the celebrated easel study of "Death upon the Pale Horse;" painted by Mr. West; one of the most sublime productions of modern art.
