" : This singular character was the oldest man ; wit ^ > one exception , that England ever produced ; hiji biographer says , "the days of his youth , accordint ; to his own account , was a series of long and painful ' illness , but that by some secret means he cured himself , and was stronger than most men when he married his first wife , which he did at the advanced age of eighty-eight ; he again married at tueamasing age of one hundred and twenty ; at one hundred and thirty be used to thresh corn , and do any lab ©* ' " rious work . He had seen ten Kings and Queens . ' of England . : Uv Parr spent much of his time in the study of th »^ ' vegetable world , and has fortunately left behinil- - him , though long hid to the world , the valuables ; fruits of his labours . Besides the valuable receipt ¦ from which Parr ' s Pills are now compounded , there 4 " are several MSS ., pieces written in his iflld QHaiut ¦ style , on the value of health ; his opidtohf ^ -. taopjf ^ .- ~ 'i somewhat differently expressed , werethat . tb * e-varie « ^ ties of clime and modes of living make but litt % ? difference to our period of existence—thatthe 1 !*^^ of nature are simple and easily underet 61 i > ff , iru * ln ' e y <^ require perfect obedience . ¦¦ . .. ¦ > > . >^ The Clergyman who holds the valnable document . ^ ^ abovementioned , has , by the assistance pt . i verj ^>^; able chemist and physician , caused tbe receipt ' OtlJ tiiD Parr's to be made into * Pills , and althw ^ & , only a space of eighteen months have elapsed s » 6 < J *? rj the trial , upwards of Beven hundred our , e » liftv « ^ , been effected ; more than one-half were capsTdereit 4 * - ' incurable ; and what is more remarkable " ; oawa ; which possess the very opposites as regards outtwar 4 symptoms : the balsamic and invigorating e , fifect 8 oa ' . \ the blood produced by these medicines is perfectly miraculous ; many who have kept their beds ibr years have been so speedily re-invigorated , with at . ; - infusion of newblood , and consequently of new life and strength , that their re-appearance amongst their * . ! fellow-beings , who had long given them up as incur- - able , is looked upon as the greatest of the many ^ great wonders of this mir < jculous age . The whole ( i of our system is : built up irom the bjood—nerves , * 8 ineWB , n > uecle 8 , alid even solid bone ; tnis being the case , the grand object is to keep this precious fiufd- ^ ( the blood ) in a pure and healthy state , for without . this purity disease wiJJ show ^ itself in some way ot ? other . '¦' ¦¦ ' - Cases of every description have-all been cured ? , simply by the use of Pair s Life Pills , thus showing that what has been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , All originated in the same cause , and can be curw'bywie nnifona treatment . Although powerful in oonqueriug disease , they are as pure and harmless as new milk , ' and may be administered with confidence to the * invalid , however weakly from long ill health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of t return to strong health , namely , good appetite , sound sleep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a medicine so benign and mild' _ , in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject .

      LEEDS BOROUGH SESSIONS . SATURDAY , Ja > ua » y 2 . AGGRATaTKD ASSAULT XI HKADINGLET . Edward Mason , 28 , Nelson Glew t 23 , and John Walton , 16 , were charged with a riot at Headingley , and with violently assaulting Robert Coates . Mr . Hall conducted the prosecution , and Sir Gregory Lewim the defence . The prisoners are navigators , and were employed at the new Water Work 3 , on Woodhouse Moor . The following aro the circumstances , as elicited by the examination of the witnesses : — Robert Coates is a youth of about thirteen years of age , residing with his father , who keeps the New Inn beer-house , at Headin « Iey ; on the 2 nd of November , he was sent by his father to t Vay-stack .

      in a field , to fetch some hay . He wasrer :. ing with a truss of hay on his head , which covered Js eyes , and when about twenty yards from tbs L . nse , he was knocked down , without bf-ing able is- . ell by whom . On rising , he saw the three defendants and two other men standing near him , who , in answer to his enquiry as to what that was for , said " it was for sport . " One of the men then went into the hous 3 , and was joined by others who were there , by whom he was again set upon , knocked down , kicked , and otherwise ill-treated . The skin was grazed off his temples , his cheek hud open , and he was much bruised in various parts of his body . He called out , and the men then went away . He recognised WaUon as one of the men then present .

      Mr . Samuel Smith , surgeon , of Leeds , was called in to see Coates on the 7 th of November ; he found him bleeding from a wound in the jaw , and understood that he had been in that condition for several days ; he also found several severe bruises and contused wounds in different parts of his body , and he considered him in great danger , owing to a peculiarity in his constitution . He succeeded in stopping the effusion of blood in a oouple of days , and since then be had recovered . On cross-examination , Mr . Smith said that the complainant would be subject to bleeding extra , in case of any exertion , or slight injury to bis person . Mrs . Coate * - - , the mother of the complainaut , remembered her son going , in company with a

      setvaut , for the hay , on the nijjht in question ; there were several navigators in the house at the time ; they wanted some ale on trust , which she refused to let them tare , but said she would give them what they paid for ; they afterwards asked for more , which she refused ; tbe three defendants wero there at that time , and , shortly afterwards , Walton and two others , not now present , went out . Walton , after be \ Dg absent a short space , returned to the door , and shouted , " War , out ! ' upon which ail the men . who were in the house , went out , and amongst ihem Mason and Glew . She then went out , and saw the men kicking her son , who was laid on the ground , upou ,-which she cried out ,

      • ' They are killing our iad , and oae of the men took her by the sleeve and pushed her violently awj . y ; her husband then went out , aud the navigators attacked him . Mr . Rhodes , a nei g hbour , came io h ! 3 assistance , and they got her husband by the fleeve aad dragged him into the house ; Mason and Glew scruck him at that time . The door of the house was th . n attempted to be shut , but Walton and two others prevented it by pushing them away , and the whole body , consisting of eleven or twelve , rushed in . They were vtry riotous , and after they got into the house , and she told them they had Killed her son , they told her to make a less nois ^ , aud said , " If they had killed him they would bury him . "

      The constable of Headicgley identified the three prisoners as being © f- * he party at Coates ' s house on the ni ^ nt in question ,- they . were very riotous , and he did not take them into eustody then because he dare not . This closed the case for the prosecution , and , after a long address by Sir . G . Lewis for the prisoners , the jury found them all Guilty . Walton was sentenced to five , and Mason and Glew to four , months imprisonment in . Wakefield House of Correction .

      GROSS CASE OF CRDKLTY . Elizabeth Grainger , tbe wife of Thomas Hower Grainger , attorney , of Leed ? , was placed at the . bar , charged with an aggravated assault on her own run , Thomas Grainger , a child six years of asje . The trial created the most intense interest , and tbe Oou > t was crowded to txce 3 s in every part . S : r Gregort Lewis aud Mr . IT all were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Pickering for the defen co . Before the case was gone into , Mr . Pickerins took an obj ^ -cuon to the indictment , which contained two counts—the first for an ag ^ Tavaied , and the second for a common assault . The Learned Counsel contended that as the offence charged consisted of a series of assaults , each assault was a separate offence ; and , therefore , his Learned Frieads on * : ht to elect upon which charge they would pr . © -

      After a lengthened argnment , and having heard , Sir Gregsby Lkwjs in reply , the Record . br overruled the objection , and the trial proceeded . The following is the evidence adduced;—Mary Avison—I am wife of Win . Avison , and live next door to Mr Grainger ; I know the little boy Thomas , child of Mr . and Mrs . G . I remember tbe child coming hame from York about two and a half yean ago ; It seemed then in a Very good state-Of kea&h . . 4 oyut « ighteen months a ^> , ni in M * % GtasacBrfr Jmm \ jih «>> tww feettf- » od the little twy . I Paw her take and ^ jolt its head against the "wail and against the table ; it was dons very violently : she

      « w < tre , and said she wished the ibJfcLwaa ^ WMragin hell-fire , and said fl « 4 *» day she Bbould eome . to some bad end for if , I sjw » the child was much worse for it ,-and I said to ner , " Oh , Mrs . Grainger , how can you do so ; instead of praying for blessings to come on your children X" I left the house at that time , but on other occasions since , 1 have frequently seen the child walking backward and forward in the yard , whilst the other part of the family were at breakfast , I have seen the child with bruises on its heaJ and on its person , and seen it running down with blood . I have often given the child brtad , when it has come to me in want .

      Cross-examined by Mr . Pjckesing—I have not been in Mrs . Grainger ' 3 house for some time ; she is a woman given w drinking habits ; I hare seen her at times the worse for liquor . I have known the child two a ; d half years ; it appeared to me- a ' way 3 to be a healthy child , and I dare say had a good appeiite when it could get anything to eat . I know the chUii was afflicted with an inward complaint ; but 1 do not know that it was particularly dirty . 1 told Mrs . Grainger that Mr . Whiie , a medical man , had said , the child had need of cloth binding round its body .

      Abraham Hill—I am a weaver , and am 13 years old ; I hare been in the habit ot * running messages for Mrs . Grainier for about half a year . 1 know her child ; 1 have seen her put a peggy tub in the coal-hole , and put him in the tub , and then ordered me to pour cold water down through the coalgrate into the tab ; the distance the water would have to fall would be about five feet . The child was naked , and stayed in the water about half an hour ; she then took it out , before which she struck it with a roliipg-piu over tbe ba , ck , and the blow felled the child into the tub . She then took it out and lit id it on a chair , and kneeled on it . She then took it up and threw it down on the floor . I was in the house all the time : the child fell on its face , and when it got up it hid its face in a corner . That is the only time I ever saw her ill-use the child ; it is now going in seven vears old .

      Cross examined by Mr . Pickering—I have been frequently in < he house , and this is the only time I ever saw her ill-use the child . What 1 mean by kneeling on the child is , that she put her knees on it . I do not know what month it was in . When I was before the Magistrates , it was to speak in Mrs . G . 's favour . Alice Ellis^—I am wife of Geo . Ellis ; we used to live nest door ta Mis . Grainger ; we left tbree months ago ; we lived there about two years aud seven months . I know the little boy Thomas . I have seen her slap it on the face many times ; she used to strike him on each side many times together ; I know the coal hole in her house ; I saw the last witness pour water down the grate , bat did not

      know what he was pouring it on . I have frequently seen the child ; its neck was marked with the finger and thumb . Mr . Grainger did not stay at home when he was well—he was absent in the day time . I have frequently spoken to Mrs . Grainger abuut her usage of the child , and told her it did no good ; I Have frequently heard the child scream so much as to be forced to leave my own house , to get out of the hearing . They have two other children , one about five and the other three years old . On BCTeral occasions 1 have given the child bread , and once Mrs . Grainger brought the bread back and threw it down into my kitchen , telling me to keep my dirt . When I have been ia her house , I have seen the other children getting their victuals , and Thomas walking about in the passage . She used to tell me that the more I took up for the child , the worse she should nse it . Cross-examined—I know the other children of Mrs . Graingor ' s ; I hare had them all under my

      care ; 1 have not heard a reason assigned why the child was pinched of food ; Mrs . Grainger always Eaid it had plenty to eat . I believe she had a great deal of trouble with it . Bryana Winn—In the summer before last I was in Mrs . Graingor ' s house . I saw the child ; it was in a chip place ; it had dirtied the chips ; Mrs . Grainger ordered it to bring some chips for her to light the fire ; the chips dirtied her hands , and she struck the child on each side of the face several times till large marks rose . J saw her on a subsequent occasion throw him down on the floor , and kick him with her foot ; the child dare not cry ; on another occasion , she took it and threw it 3 or 4 yards into a corner , and I thought it had broken its neck by falling on the Btone floor . She then ordered the child to bring her some more chips ; it did so and went back from her , when she took up a table knife and threw at him , saying she would be the death of'

Hannah Lancaster—I have known Mrs . Grainger for about a year aud a half . I worked for Mrs . Avison , and Mr . G . engaged me to wash for her .

      I know the child Thomas , and ono day above a year since , I went between nine and ten in the morning j I saw Mrs . G . and two of the children ; I inquired after Thomas ; - she said he was in bed , and perhaps would sleep till dinner time . Mrs . G . Boon after went out , and then I went up stairs ; I could not see the boy ; but I called , and he answered me ; he was laid on the floor next to the window ; he was dressed ; ho had a crimson frock on , and was not in a proper state for a child to be in ; I brought him down , and gave him somo breakfast . Mrs . G . came in about twelve o ' clock . The family sat down to dinner . Mr . G . was not there . Thomas did not sit down ; she bid him to walk about , and he did so all the time the others were eating ; she then told

      him to turn to the wall . He turned to the wall , and put his hands behind him . I told her if the child did not get some dinner , I would not go to the washing tub ; she said I had nothing to do with him ; why could not I get my dinner ; she said she did not think I had been so soft ; and when she saw 1 would not have anything , she called the boy to the table . I said I could not treat a dog in that manner , and she replied she could have more nature tor a dog than for that child . He then got his dinner . After dinner , Mrs . Grainger went out , and when she had gone , I undressed tbe child and washed it . The clothes were stiff with blood , ami wero altogether very dirty ; he did not seem as if he hi-l ta . ; u uu < iress _ d for a length . of time ; the sole of b" > i * touk-. stuck in his feet , and appeared to hurt him when they wero pulied off . 1 have heard the child cry for bread , and when Mrs .

      and she would then bay , " No , you brute , and if you did , you should want . " I never saw the child receive any good treatment . ' James Macgregor—I am a policeman in . Leeds , and in the month of October last , I went with Mr . Mason , the relieving officer , to the house of Mrs . Grsiwger ; we went concerning th « child ; we found it in the cellar-kitchen , and was very dirty *; it was strippeu m my presence ; there were several severe contused marks . Mr . Mason asked her how they came there , and she eaid he was ussd to falling . In reply to a question as to his size , she said it was iu consequence of the meazles . We took it to the workhouse ; it expressed a desire for food ; it was stripped before the workhouse committee , and was nothing but skin and bone ; the hair was long and stood on end . There was some bread and butter prepared , and it ate it so voraciously as if it had never any before . '

      William Hey wood—I am a pawnbroker , aud was formerly Chief Constable , and during that time had occasion to go to Granger ' s house on account of a charge of cruelty to a child . I saw the child on that occasion ; its h * ad was covered with sores , and so were the back part of the hand 9 . I asked Mrs . Graiuger the reason , and pointed out to her some black marks ; she said she bad beaten it . . She was not before the magistrates on this charge . then , but I represented the case before the magistrate * when she was before them on another charge , aad she promised to behave better to it . . « Robert Craven—I am a surgeon in Leeds j lam town surgeon .

      called to the workhouse to see a child . " Tfiumd it in a state of extreme emaciation , aad the-Jtady cevc-red with wounds and bruises . I conMJqrod some of these ought arise from the child liavthfjjiairi upon a hard substance ; the emaciation was cajfced by want of food ; I found no organic 4 ise £$$ to account for it . The appetite of tbe child was Voracious , and I told them to let it have its food regular , and rather more frequently thau the other ?; : It has improved in Strength and appearance ever since ; it has had occasional attacks of inflammation of the mucus membrane , arisiug most probably .

      EXTRAORDINARY ^ ASB . ^> _ ^ J-fFro ™ Jte J&eitern ' iw > fcw >;|^ ^^ ^ m ^^ m fettiMt-f * i 6 h *> E « q-, com ^ r ^ y ^ vamt woman named Sarah Gribble , who hatt ^ eetfjfound dead in her bed on Saturday afternoon . i $ hi' framwd was well known as a celebrated / tetter ^ r tortunes . This must be our excuse for tit-spassiog upon our rwKhfra with some brief account of her manner of living ; - Ske occupied a tenement is a back Court in St Mary Arches-street , consisting of two rooms of the smallest conceivable dimensions , one on the ground floor , and the other immediately over . The former of these was little better than a cold dark cell , as miserable and

      comfortle&a as can well be imagintd ; and it was here that the numerous visiters who came to seek for information of the good or evil things in store i | or them were compelled to wait until the prophetess was at leisure to attend to them . Tbe room above stairs was tiiat in whieh the deoeaaad ate and tfept , . and in which she -was accustomed to deliyqr , her oracles ; and hate , in fact , the whole of her time' baa been spent for several years past . To convey aaytlring like an accurate idea of the scene ~ which presented itself on entering this apartment would be altogether impossible ; it was a scene , indeed , of filth and wretchedness , which altogether defies description . la ^ one corner of the room & space was partitioned off by a couple of deal planks , which served this singular being . for a bed , and

      ntre , with nothing but a heap of filthy rags between her and the floor , and with a miserable covering of tht ) same description , she was accustomed to pass nearly every moment of her time . Ciothes or linen upon her person she had cone , if we except au oUl pair of stays , which she wore next her skin , and a piece of coarse fustian cloth , which was tied round net waist A dirty brown handkerchief was thrown over her shoulders , aud tied in a knot upon her breast , and her head was covered with a cap which she had never been known to change during the . time she had resided in the house . She wore neither shoes nor stockings , but , dressed ( if we may use the term ) as we . have above described , she used to sit continually in the place ¦ which we have called her bed , remaining

      constantly in the same position , with ( as one of the witnesses stated ) " her nose aud knees together . " In her bed-place were fouud after her death , a great quantity of articles of food , which appeared to have accumulated for some time , and which there is much reason to fear had been purloined by servant girls , who probably found it more convenient to satisfy their curiosity at theii masters' expence than at their own ., There were heaped together in one heterogeneous main , pttatoes , turnips , aad vegetables of all kinds , fruit , butter , bacon , dripping , and a variety of other articles of a similar description , which the deceased was never , knowt ^ £ 6 have purchased , and the possession of which by hat can only be accounted for in the way we hav # , datcribed The ouly articles of furniture which we observed were

      two deal chairs , a small table , a tea-kettle , and « ome trifliDg vessels of earthenware . There were heaps ' of rags and dirt covering the whole of the apartment , and upon the mantelpiece a bottle which had contained rum . The window was completely covered with , cobwebs , and the odour exhaled from so much filth was , as may well be believed , intolerable . One thing-struck us as curious ; it was an old tin candlestick with a deep bottom , which was entirely filled with the " snuffs" of candles , piled up so as completely to hide the tube in which the candle should have been placed . There was a fire-place in the room , but she had never been known to have a fire in it , and hex kettle was boiled for her by a neighbour , who was paid 7 d . a ^ wcek for . her trouble . About the room were scattered several packs

      of her cards , in which she pretended to read the tale with which she used to gull the simple fair ones whs resorted to her dwelling . The room was never cleaned , and she herself had never washed her skin while site had resided in the house . And yet , wretched aa vu her abode , Sally Gribble had numerous ? LdtfTB , many from among the more respectable classes of scx ^ ety , and on a market day especially , her ante-room vm thronged with customers anxious to obtain admittaAee . She always pretended the greatest poverty , although , u will be seen , a large quantity of money was found in her apartment , and the necessaries of life were evidently supplied to her in abundance . The circumstances ef hex death will be better understood by the evidence given before the coroner , which we now sabjoin : —
