TAE LOTTERY. .14ISH, of the Old State Lottery Offices, 4,' coRNHILL, and 9, CHARING-CROSS, agreeably trills his usual custom, proceeds to publish at length the Scheme of the New Lottery; but previously to canvassing Public favour in its support, he is anxious to acknowledge (which be does most gratefully) the very extensive patronage he experienced in the Lottery just concluded, and is happy to be enabled at the same time to congratulate his best Friends, t he Public, on the very great success (extraordinary even for bin)) which attended his Offices throughout the late Con.. tract, as will be sheivn by the princely List of Capitals sold by him within Three Months. It is with regret, however, that BISH is now compelled to advert to, , the certainty that Lotteries are about to cease in this Country altogether. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has disposed of the Last of the Tickets granted by Parlia- Ment, and in a few Months this mode of adventure will ter minate; in the interim, public opinion will guide the Con tractors in the formation of the remaining Schemes that lwhich is now submitted, is founded on one of the most popu ar, and in which more Tickets were sold than in any for mtuany years.

Meeting, held under the sanction of the Right Honour able the Earl of Egremont, Lord Lieutenant of the County, on the 11th of December, 1824, for the purpose of establishing, a Sussex County HOspital, and General Sea Bathing Infir maiy, having selected, and been this day authorized to pur chase an eligible site for the edifices, feel it incumbent on them to submit to the Nobility and Gentry of the County, and to the Public generally, a brief statement relative to the objects pro posed to.be effected by the establishment of the Institution. The original object contemplated by the friends of the mea sure, was to procure for those among the labouring classes of the County of Sussex, who might be suffering under sickness or casual injury, the same means of restoration to health, which the poor of almost every other county in England, have long been in the habit of deriving from similar institutions. With this primary object it is designed to combine the benefits of a General Sea-Bathing Infirmary ; and as the Town of Brighton, by its proximity to the metropolis, by the unusual facilities of approach towards. it from all the southern parts of the kingdom, by the salubrity of its situation, and by the num ber and respectability of the medical practitioners connected with its extensive population, affords advantages for such an institution, unattainable in any other town on the Coast; the advocates of the Sussex County Hospital would not be dis charging their duty to the public, unless by endeavouring to make these advantages available, as extensively as possible, to the relief of those thousands among the poor, who suffer from diseases which can only be effectually alleviated by sea-air and sea-bathing. With respect to the funds requisite for attaining these bene volent and desirable objects, the Committee have briefly to state, that the estimated expence for the completion of a build ing to contain 60 patients, including the purchase of the ground, does not exceed 12,0001. ; than the annual expendi ture of such an institution would be about 1,7001.; and that in such an establishment 500 in-patients, and many hundreds more than that number of out-patients might be annually ad mitted. Towards the purchase of the land, and the erection of the edifice, nearly 8,0001. have already been subscribed. The _subjoined is the proposed scale of privilege to subscribers, for the recommendation of patients, subject to the revision of the Governors ; and the Committee submit these remarks to pub lic notice, in the full confidence, that the contributions which are all times liberally afforded to the calls of humanity, will enable them immediately to proceed with their labours, and to perfect the work committed to their charge. Brighton, 26th Jan. 1825. SCALE FOR RECOMMENDING PATIENTS. Each Subscriber of 11. is. annually,.may recommend two Out Patients. Each Subscriber of 21. 2s. annually, may recommend one In and two Out Patients. Each Subscriber of 4L 4s. annually, may recommend two In and five Out Patients. Each Subscriber of 5/. ss. and under 101. 10s. annually, may recommend three In and six Out Patients. Subscribers of 101. 10s. per annum or upwards, may recom mend without limitation of their annual number, provided they have not more than one In Patient and six Out Patients at the same time ; nor Subscribers of 20 guineas a year, more than two In Patients and eight Out Patients at the same time ; nor any Contributor more than two In Patients and ten Out Patients at one time.

ON THE FEES OF CORONERS. ~: MR. EDITOR —The Pre'ss being unquestionably the most efficient channel for laying our sentiments before the world, and of eliciting, to a certain degree, the opinions' of public men upon all proposed measures of State-policy, I shall make little apoliagy Sir, (because of your well-known readiness to open your columns pro bona public()) for troubling you with the following observations upon a subject which, to: my appre hension, isof some importance—connected as it is with the public security, and the administration of tilt laws of this great and enlightened country. The Grand Council of the Nation ,having just assembled, for the constitutional purpose of-amend ing the LaWs, is an additional motive for my taking up the pen,'—because What I am about to offer is, in a main degree, addressed direetly to the Members of the Legislature. The office of CORONER, the reader must be aware, forms a distinguishing branch of the popitlar part of the British Consti tution, and is recommended to us alike by its high antiquity and its great utility. The individual filling it is a Magistrate at common law, and takes rank in the county next to the High Sheriff; nay more, he is not unfrequently called upon to be the locum fenens of that dignitary, and to discharge de ,into his functions upon particular occasions. How such an individual ought to be qualified I shall not just now take upon me to decide; but this I will say, the slender scale of remune ration which the law accords to the Coroner, may be a reason why improper persons, as to qualification, might get appointed. This - ought not to be a possible case in a trust of such great public responsibility. But it is notorious there is not- an office-bearer under the Crown who is so very inadequately rewarded for the services he. renders the State ai the Coroner. The Coroner has to. perform an equally labori ous and irksome duty; he is called frOm home at a moment's warning, and undertakes a journey of perhaps 50 miles, or up wards, which may occasion him to be absent from his family . two, three, or even four days : And the very maximum of his fees in such a case is sixty shillings, or three pounds ! a re muneration totally inadequate to indemnify him for his necessary expences, upon the most moderate scale, without taking into account the time lost in his own private business, (for most of the Coroners are professional men.)—And, in point of fact, it must be sufficiently obvious that individuals of this class are, by education and legal experience, best fitted to dis charge the (in many instances) highly important and intricats duties of the office. Under such circumstances it were a waste of words to do more than point out the paramount necessity there is for confiding this responsible office to men of competent attainments ; in other words, to Gentlemen of respectibility, whose condition and place in society itt once offer a pledge for the correct fulfilment of their official duty. But can it be expected that such individuals, as are here alluded to will subject themselves to the toil and privation incident to the office in question, for the conside ration of the truly paltry fees the county at present pays them ? By no means. At the early period of the creation of this office Many centuries ago, we have no certain knowledge as to what con stitutes the honorarium or fees annexed to it ;but there is ample reason to believe, that the emolument accruing to the Coroner was far from inconsiderable, if we may institute as a comparison the, current value of money in the time of Henry VII., when the first legislative enactment took place to regulate the Coroners' fees, with the value of money at the present day. And it must not pass unnoticed, that there has been no increase of fees since that period, except what took place in the 25th year of the reign of George 11., when newly Shillings were allowed for each inquisition taken, and Nine pence per mile for the distance travelled from home ; which fees, by the way, are the identica: fees now paid to the Coroner out of the county rates. How it happened that the very judicious Bill which 'Mr. Mellish brOnght into Parliament in 1816, having for its object an augmented remuneration to the Coroner, ultimately miscarried in the Lords, I cannot take upon me precisely to state, though, as well as my memory serves me, T would say its fate was unfortunately the result of the casting vote in the House of Lords, on a very thin attendance of Peers, at the third reading. lam free to declare, however, that Ido not think the Legislature could be more usefully employed than in taking into Consideration, with a view to amend the parti cular Statute which regulates the Coroners' fees, in the man ner above stated. The increased population of the country, and what is, unfortunately, ' a concomitant, the increase of crime, render the office of Coroner a very different thing from what it was 70 or 80 years ago. It must be the conces sion of every candid mind, that a fair equivalent ought to be given to the Coroner, as a proper incitement to a diligent and efficient discharge of his duty—a duty by no means light or inconsequential, when we consider it in its full extent and com prehensiveness. Indeed, when we view the office, as we ought to view it, as presenting one of the most effectual checks to as sassination, and as connected with the preservation of general tranquillity, there is no jurisdiction in the empire more justly entitled to the favourable regards of the Legislature. But what are the facts ? As the case stands at present, the very clerks of Government,Surveyors receive, for the performance r of a mere mechanical service, thrice the amount of salary paid to the Coroner of the County ! proh pv . dor ! Is this fans—is this just? Is it not rather a deep reflexion on the country, that a public officer, of the dignity of the Coroner, should have his fees doled out to him in such a way that he is actually a loser, at the same time that the Statute-Book professes to remunerate , him for his labours ..—..-. ...........___ The Ministry of the present day, all parties admit, are pur suing a most liberal and enlightened career ; their Administration, in fact, is one alike honourable to themselves and to , the coun try. But engaged as they are in matters of. finance, and the details of Government, it were too much to expect that they are to originate every measure for the improvement of the country. Why do we send Members to Parliament but for the express purpose of making known our wants, and to modify the laws. according to existing circumstances ? Let then some inde pendent Senator bestir himself in a cause which, he may rest assured, will not diminish his popularity. A general electi onb cannot be far distant; and I mistgke egregiously foundfriend friends, possess Coroners s t s h e e ssno sman o i f ntiue nCounties,ee in in re t conjunction ,ir ni returning r the i their f l : i •i t th e " Members.t ena them to Suppose, therefore, (and I would strongly 0 , it a sine qua non with the canvassing. ca to an enhanced scale of advocate In Parliament their just claim s doubt whatever of the etli do so), that the body of Coroners througnieitacttient,etchoautnhteryshmoauckeld remuneration.
