BRIGHTON, Stumm, 6.

Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, the
rnmpaoy who promenaded the Marine Parade, had
an opp.olunit, of perceiving at a considerable dis-
tance the homeward bound East India Fleet, which
Its, been for some time past so anxiously expelled.
i: WAS procrediNt towards the Downs, which Ed.
tint it reacted in till course of the day. This
sight afforded general satistadlion, but more espe-
csahy to those who had their friends and relatim.s
on beard t and occasioned severa' families im-
mediately to set off from this place, in order the
more quickly to grati:v themselves with the so-
ciety of their long absented friends.
This day, as well as yesterday, the sea has ben
extremely lough. The violent dashing, and coo-
&vent foaming of the waves a,4ainst the shores,
was also a subjztft of entertainment, and even SLIT.
print° many, who, perhaps, had ne"er before wit-
nessed such agi ation in that extensive and restless
element. Atter Divine Service, the Marine Parade
in particulsr was crowded with visitors of all de-
scriptions, to witness the efforts made by the tur-
bulent surges in encroaching upon, and striking
against the shorn Even the ladies were prompied
by their natural, but, upon this occasion, no; am.
proper curiosity, to approach to the very brink (.1
the precipice. It being flond tide, (a circum-
stance not adverted to by many), the briny ele-
ment, by more than usual advances, ventured to
nay, alrtrfst completely to immerse
rime of its fair via tors, and thereby afforded ad-
ditional entertainment to ethers. who stood more
cautiously at a dn. distance. The wind f.r these
two days has iodised been very high, but the only
mischief wi.ich we have heard of its having yet
dieted, is t.te blowing up, or rather the blowing
down, many of the . bombs mmd tents which were
erected upon the cricket 'mend on occasion of the
st!tep Lair which took place on Fl iday. This, fow-
ewer, by many may not be deemed mischief, when
it is considered that perhaps much riot, dissipation,
and idleness, may have been thereby preveotedfrcm
taking place, upon the second day, when Erni% it),
more than business was the cause of asiembhog
many of the lower of dens of the people from various
quarters of Susvx.

This day die Reverend Dr. Glas.e. who is

merous charitable donations, amounting to about
seventy pounds, were coiletled at the doors, on tu,-
h ilt of the Sunday Schools, School of Industry, and
Day School of Briglathelmston. This Reverend
Genii/man chose for his text part of the 13th verse
*fate lOtle chapter of St. Luke, Ocempf rid / rano.
The hymns were sunp. by the children.
The congregation was both numerous and highly
reVedsble ; the extensive range ot gentlemen's car-
riages, which, dm mg Vie service, remained outside,
evinces at once the notnber, rank, and, in sonic
dr-
prec, the chAtitAle di of the visitor., who
sill make liiighten reueat from the noise and
