THE COMMITTEE appointed at a Public 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 mary, 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 benelitS 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 611 patients, including the purchase of the ground, does not exceed 12,000/. ; that the annual-expendi ture of such an institution would be about 1,7011.; 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 purchaie of the land, and the erection of the edifice, nearly 8,000/.llaye 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.

METROPOLITAN WATER COMPANY. A Meeting took place-yFstenlay at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose 'of petitioning Parliament against the Metropolitan Water Company BiII—CIISRLES BARCLAY, Esq. in the Chair. The Cust n MAN having stated the object for which the Meeting was convened, said, that the Bill now in progress through the House of Commons for, establishing a Water Company would, if passed into a law, be productive of ince]. culable injury. There were three sets of springs in the me tropolis; first, the land-springs, which had suffered materially by the neighbouring canals and die sinking sewers, as the water was thereby drained from them ; secondlt, those of greater depth, to which manufactories partly owed their existence, on account of the temperature of the water, it being 25 times cooler than atmospheric air. There were others as far down as the blue clay. The neVe Water Company, by digging large wells, 'and making use of steam 'engines, would have the effect of draining the water from all these, and thereby not only stop the operations of various manufactories and public establish ments in London, but cut off the supply of public and private pumps. In illustration of this, he said that him self and Mr. Calcraft had each a well, in different parts of the town, sunk as deep as the blue clay, yet when any alteration was made in one, it affected the other. With a steam-engine of One horse power applied at one of these wells, they could lower the water in the other 15 feet in one hour. What the general effect would be of establishing the new water company, might be easily judged from this circumstance. Yet though the inju rious tendency of it was obvious, it Iras surprising the company did not propose making any compensation to those that would suffer by it: Mr. AIALTON said, that the proprietors of the company set out with a fallacy, which was, that water below the blue clay would be 12 degrees softer than that with which the city was generally supplied. It was obvious that this was incorrect. The company said that the springs now established could not be af fected by their wells, because they would be sunk deeper; and that the water works now in the metropolis were less by two than they had been formerly, on account of the abandonment of the York-buildings and London:bridge Waterworks. In answer to these arguments, he begged to state that the Hospital pumps were as deep as the blue clay, and that the New River Company absorbed the water which the above two companies had abandoned. Mr. CORCORAN said, that the only way to prevent them doing mischief was to stop their proceedings altogether. All the wells they purposed to open would not supply the tenth part of the metropolis w►th water, yet they would have the effect of draining the water from other springs. - Resolutions expressive of their disapprobation of the bill were passed, and a petition to both Houses, praying to be heard by counsel against it, was agreed to. POLICE. MasfsfoN-HousE.—A desperate thief, named, Gough, was last Old Bailey Sessions, tried for breaking a window in Leadenhall-street, and running away with a great number of watches, chains, &c. at an early hour in the evening, and con victed. The witness against him was the mate of a ship bound for Jamaica, and the LORD Maron, when the case was stated at the Justice-room, found in necessary to bind him over to give evidence, notwithstanding the poor fellow's obligation to attend the duties of his ship, which was to sail in a few days after the robbery. The statement of the case in the public papers met the eye of a venerable Nobleman, Who resides in Hunting don. Ile wrote the following letter, which, we believe will be Considered by many as a curiosity:— " My Lord—The case of Mr. Coles, the first mate of a ship, bound to Jamaica, is so deplorable and so affecting in all its cir cumstances, that I cannot but solicit your Lordship to permit me under your auspices to be contributory to his relief, and I have, therefore, taken the liberty of enclosing to your Lord ship an order to Messrs. Coutts and Co., to pay to the order of your Lordship the sum of 25/. I could wish that my name, as a contributor, should be known only to you. Having, by the mercy of God , attained a very advanced age, I felt it my duty, at my entrance upotsanother year, to make this and other simi lar contributions an act of peculiar gratitude and acknowledg ment to the author and giver of all good. This has been a Principal motive with mew give you Lordship this trouble, for after time assurances given by your Lordship and the Court to this poor man, I am certain the owners of the 'ship will be re cone:led to the hardship of the case.—l must repeat my apo logy to your Lordship, and assure you that I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, your most obedient servant." The LORD MA von sent for the mate, who, upon , hearing the letter read, was deeply affected.—The mate stated that the contribution of the excellent person was the more grateful at this moment, as his wife had been just brought to bed.—The LORD Mavon then ascertained, that the loss sustained by the mate, inconsequence of his absence from the ship, amounted to about 7W. and told him there could be no doubt of his being fully remunerated. been gre a tly The inhabitants of ` 4 ott tftse a bave annoyed, and the female part much alarmed, by the nocturnal pranks of some idle thoughtless fellows, who have assumed the appearance of " a Ghost."

OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE STATE OF GREECE. ( Concluded from our Paper of yesterday. ) REASONS FOR BORROWING.—The extraordi nary situation in which Greece is placed obliged her to have re course to loans. If flourishing States have often exhausted their finances in long wars, and have in consequence been under the hard necessity of having recourse to that expedient, it could not be expected that Greece, who had only engaged in war to relieve herself from oppression, should not take advantage of the resources which were open to her. Their slow progress may be attributed to theiinot having availed themselves at the be ginning of these means. Their brilliant successes in the course of last autumn, when they were able to make use of a part of their loan, are incontestible proofs of this fact. It is erroneous to suppose that the Greek Government sustains this war at little or no expense ; they have a land and naval force to keep up. The expense of the latter, in which consists their principal,strength, is known to be extremely great. Be sides all which, the Government feel the necessity of raising the country to a level, in point of civilisation, with the rest of Europe. In pursuance of this plan they have. even amidst - the bustle of the War, founded a University, opened schools—and, at the intervals of their leisure, they have been occupied in the establishment of post-houses, the opening of wads, and other works of public utility. . . Notwithstanding t:.e pressing want of money, the Greek Government only wishes to contract for very moderate loans ; not that they have not good security to offer, for seven eighths of the Continent is at their disposal. This territory, under the Turkish Government, belonged to the Mosques, the Ottoman Crown, the Beys and Agas, &c. ; they 'at present form the national property of Greece. Besides these estates, the Greek (lovernment can offer as security the territorial resources of the country, of which we will now give a short account. PRODUCTIONS of GREECE.—Those who have tuudied sta tistics are aware how uncertain the results of that branch of political economy generally are, even among the most highly civilized nations : it cannot therefore be wondered at, that the statistical account of Greece vie are about to present should be imperfect in its details ; but we can answer for the exactness of the general account we are about to give. We will begin with the most important of their exportable commodities ; such as oils, wines, currants, silks, wool, cotton, tobacco, vermillion, and southern fruits. . OILS.—The islands and coasts of Greece are covered with olive trees. This plant is indigenous to Greece : at any rate it is to be found in a wild state near the sea. In some of the islands, but especially in Candia, olive trees die only from age. It has been ass-Jted that if the growth of olives was pro perly encouraged in the latter island, from the faVourable nature of the soil and climate, it would be able to supply all Europe with oil. The olive tree in Greece yields fruit from the twelfth year. WI NES.—Almost the whole of Greece produces wine. Thoie most known in commerce come from Cyprus, Santos. Scopelos, &c. If their mode of making it were improved they would gain considerably, and many common wines would become ex cellent. Part of the Greek wines is exported to Germany by way of Trieste; but Russia consumes by far the greater part, which is conveyed by way of the Black Sea. Oran tx r s.—This fruit grows only in the west and north coast of the Peloponnesus, in Etolia and Locris, and particularly the coast of Achaia, also the neighbouring islands of Zante and Ce phalonia. The English buy np the greatest quantity. In 1817 the sale of currants in the district of nitres alone yielded 50,000,000 francs. Si LK S.—The mild climate and serene air of Greece are par ticularly favourable to silk-worms. If the practice of grafting the mulberry trees were introduced, and greater care taken in the choice of leaves as food for the worms, the, silks would be prodigiously improved. WOOL.—Under the Greek Emperors the breed of sheep was much improved by crosses; but since the conquest of the coun try by the Turks those cares have been discouraged and aban doned. But notwithstanding this negligence, the Greek sheep has not lost all his beauty. The sheep of Livadia is more beautiful than many of the French and other European breeds ; hut it is the sheep of Arcadia which, even now-a-days, unite the good qualities of the neighbouring races without their de fects. But the fleece is in general badly managed, so that their wools, when wrought, are generally speckled. Col-rosrs—The Greek Cotton is not so generally esteemed as that of the West Indies, being less pure and silky. The cot tons of the Levant improve as we proceed southward. The cotton of Cyprus is superior to that of Smyrna, mid that of the Peloponnesus bears the palm from that of Thessalia. 'TOBACCO.—The low lands of Greece, from the alluvial na ture of the soil, and other accidental circumstances, produce great luxuriance in all manner of vegetation, and is particu larly favourable in the growth of.tobacco,which is an extremely hungry plant. In general, the tobacco of Greece is considered the best in Europe. ATE/MI LLION.—What is called in Mediterranean commerce vermillion, is a reddish seed, vulgarly called scarlet seed. The Greeks call it prinococci, that is to say, oak seed, from its grow ing on a species of that tree. From its colour, and the insect it is drawn from, vermilion evidently belongs to the same species as cochineal. Its colour is beautithl and durable. It is chiefly gathered in Phocis, Bceotia, Locris, Etolia, and the Pelopon nesus ; that found near the sea shore is the best. SOUTIiE liN Eau ITS.—Under this designation are included oranges, lemons, citrons, &c. The greater part of the islands of the Archipelago, and the coasts of the Continent, produce them all in abundance. The greatest exportation is to the nor thern part of Turkey, in Europe and Asia ; and also to Russia, by the Black Sea. Greece produces a quantity of other exportable commodities, such as madder or alizari, the gall-nut, honey, wax, skins, opium, gum-dragon, carpeting, timber, tar, rosin, &e. &c. The countries which compose independent Greece are the Pe loponnesus, Attica, Bceotia, Phocis, Locris, Etolia, Acarnania, and A grapha. The whole of the islands, amounting to one hundred, with the exception of about a dozen, are under the Greek Govern ment. . PELOPONNESUS.—Since the revolution several coal mines have been discovered; and there is no doubt but that there are mines of all sorts, both in the Peninsula and the islands, which in happier times will be worked. The taxes of this part of Greece before the revolution amounted to 6,000,000 francs. During the revolution the Turkish population has all perished, except a few families who have, upon capitulation, been con veyed to Asia. But the population has nevertheless been doubled by the emigration of Greeks from Asia Minor. In the flourishing periods of Greek history this peninsula reckoned 3,000,000 of inhabitants—it can yet support that number. ACARNANIA, ETOLIA, AND LOCHIS.—These three pro vinces, comprehended under the general name of Western Greece. produce all the necessaries and many of the luxuries of life. Timber of a superior quality for ship-building is found in their mountains. The other productions common to the whole of Greece abound here. • PHOCIS, IiCEOTIA, AND ATTICA.—These provinces are . called in modern geography Eastern Greece. Bceotia is cele brated for its corn ; Phocis for its vermillion and madder; and the honey of Athica, so tamed among the ancients, still pre serves its delicious flavour. ARC irt PEr.m..4o.—We have already mentioned that the islands subjected to Greece amounted to nearly a hundred. Forty of these are of more or less importance, by, their marine, their extent, or their productions. The Archipelago trades' in fish, salt, sponge, &c. besides the other articles common to . Greece. The details of the variety of the sojl, production, and ma nofzu tures would fill volume , ; but they would carry U 3 beyond the limits we have assigned ourselves. PARLIAMENT.

On his Lo r dship moving for the second reading of a Bill for making a Road near Rochdait, Oldham, Mr. PHILLIPS observed, that there was already before the House a Bill on that subject, brought in by the authority of the trustees. The Bill, now moved, had come from two or three private individuals. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH remarked on the apparent inconsistency of reading a second time another copy of, a, Lill which was already before the House. The SPEAKER. stated that one 'Bill had as good a claim to be read as another. A second reading of both would not pass either of them into the nature of laws. Both Bills may he sent to the same Committee, and there disposed of. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSIr could not help thinking it a strange proceeding. • Lord STANLEY replied. On the question for the second reading being put, a division was called for. Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The House divided, when there ,appearing but 16 Ayes and 17 Noes (a number not sufficient, collectively to constitut e a Ho use ), th e Speaker adjourned, at THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES PAST FOUR till T‘.l - .LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S'COURT, MARCH 14. FOWLER v. WILLOUGHBY. This case came betbre the Court upon exception to the. Ma*. ter's report. Messrs. Franklin had made extensive contracts with Lord Brownlow and Colonel Sibthorpe for the purchase of estates; which they proposed to re-sell, and entered into a sub-contract with a person named Willoughby, who, previous to its execution, died. Upon a bill being filed to compel the executor and residuary legatee of Willoughby's personal estate to fulfil the testator's directions regarding the contract, it ap peared that Franklins, the original purchasers, had been bank. rupt, and had failed to enforce the specific pertirmance of their contract against the original venders, Lord Prownlow and .Col. Sibthorpe. It was referred to the Pilaster to inquire whether. subsequent to the testator's death, the contract could have been enforced. Ile - reported in the affirmative. Mr. HonNl, for the executor and residuary legatee, col tended that it was impossible that the contract could be en forced, or the testator's assets be liable for it, and that the Master was totally wrong. The further hearing of the case was postponed. lIIGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MARCH 14. THE MINERVA. Lord STOWEL I. came into Court to-day, to give sentence in this cause of wages, (connected, as may be remembered, with-a question of construction arising on the ship's articles.; in which, after a certain specification of voyage, the words" or elsewhere!' were alleged by the mariners to have been surreptitiously intro duced, at some time subsequently to their subscriptions of the articles.) We are sorry to state that his Lordship visibly laboured under a very severe indisposition ; and he had, only proceeded to state, that he had given this question his.most serious consideration, when he added, that he found himself too weak to say any thing more at present, than just so mach as might relieve the parties Irons all suspense. The Court notified, therefore, that it decreed the mariners their wages with costs : and it would endeavour to fix an early day upon which, as it hoped, the Court would state at considerabl e l engt h the gra;acds of its opinion in a matter so interesting and important to the commercial and shipping interests. THE FIFE CAUSE. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH, MARCH 9, 1825. • To-day the Court met to try the following issue : • In the process of reduction brought by the Right Hon. James Earl of Fife against Sir James Duff' and others, trustees and heirs of entail of the deceased James Earl of Fife,— , . . " Whether the instruments of trust-disposition and . deed of entail, both dated the 7th day of October, MB, sought to be reduced, being in law probative instruments , ,. were not, or either of them was not, the deeds or deed of the Jar! of Fite; and whether the deed of alteration of the 12th clay of Novem ber, 18101, being in law a probative instrument, was not . - tht deed of the Earl of Fife 9" Mr. Cocxntnaw opened the case for the pursuer, and,. after the examination of several witnesses, Mr. MONCRIEFF addressed the Jury for the defendantg, but adduced no evidence. After the CIIIEF COMMISSIONER'S charge, tte Jury, re tired for about twenty minutes, and returned with a verdict, finding-1 1 1w the trust.disposition and deed of entail, dater+. October 7, 1808, were not the deeds of the late Earl of fife ; and with regard to the deed of alteration, dated 12th Nova:- her, 1808, they found for the defenders: • ••• • The effect of this verdict, which was received with loud-huz zas in the Court, is to put the present Earl of Fife, the pusuer in the cause in possession of property, we understand,.atnaunt. ing to about 24,000/. per annum. The Noble Earl was •ia Court during the whole trial, which lasted from ten in the morning till eleven at night. The Court was crowded to excess the whole day. • ON THE WORD LITERATI.—The word literati, which tow confers honour, had at one time a very different signification. Atnong the Romans it was usual to affix sorne branding or ignominious , letter on the criminal, when the vrime was infamous in its nature ; and persons so branded were called inscripti, or stigmatici, or by a more equivocal win, literati. The same expression is likewise adopted ut Stat. 4 Henry VIA., which recites, " that diverse persons lettered had been more bold to'commit mischievous deeds," &c. 'The present meaning of the word : is taken from the Chinese, aniong-whom, however, it is applied more specifically to one particular sect of learned men.
