The fact as our affidavit af firmed, that a custom existed, so late a' ISO, of admitting children %lot 100!. after which period the practice was dis continue.] alt , n4cther, and the Foundling It ospital is now ma ntiged .v near as passible up to its original institution. We bov...:‘,er feel it our duty, must publicly and sacredly to affirm, that 14 never had Ow. ionallest intention, or e% . ett tile thought, that an) In.),iks thus aristitg to the llo,pital uric in any mat:- of -r r:pproptittled, to the private ti:c or any individual of the F...Jano.;ing Hospital ; and after having read the anal y its whi have been made 1)) those gentlemen, we have no loo.!;er an) hesitation in publicly expresing our firm belief, that the iuti mations contained in our P7lper, re ,, iwcting the peruni try ad of children'wcre entirely groundlet:• ; and that since the ;year 180'2, as ex pres.ed in their it:fi;lai•i, Oat no children have been received iih fee or reward; and that the Ilwpital is al tt,gel her conducted upon as fair and just principles as an esta blishment of that nature can pos,ibly be.

BRIGHT° N, JUNE 2.—This has been one of the most terepes tuous days ever remembered kere. The number of macka rel boats belonging to this place are twenty -two, twenty of which unfortunately were at sea. In the course of the morning four of them, at great hazard and difficulty, ran on shore, and were preserved. An equal number we have since heard were similarly successful at Lancing. Ju N e 3.—Happily the remainder of the fishing boats absent at the date of my last letter, though con';iderable snticrers in nets, &c. all survived the tremendous storm of Thursday night last, and have since reached this place in safety. In my letter of Friday, I mentioned that It. S picer, after being rescued from the water at the trabour's entrance of Shoreham, had expired. At that time it was so understood ; but 1 have the lisfeasure of adding, that he is still living, and that no fears are now entertain ed fur his life.
