in point of talehts, rectitude, knowledge, and

We may form some idea Of the 'contemptible
opinion entertained- of Country Banks, by th.t Cir-
cumstance of the robbers of the ,Lewes Mail, having

,The following affeEting circumstance took „place
"on Thursday.-afternoon last ;—.A. family, consisting
of the father, -mother, three sons, and a daugh-
ter, sat off from town to the neighbourhood of Lea
Bridge, to, see a cricket match; baying dined at
a public-house by the water-side, the two eldest.
,sons hired a boat of the landlord, and proceeded to
a proper Place to bathe ; neitherof them being able
to swim, the youngest got beyond his depth, and
feeling his danger; implored the .assistance of his
brother, who, forgetting his own situation; went
to his -succour, but in'doing that he • lost hiS own
life, without being able to save that of his brother.
'The unhappy parents, with the other son and the
daughter, came
.to tht spot, while some persons
were then dragging for the unfortunate youths,
whom they succeeded in finding lin- about half an
hour.
_All means were tried to restore animation,
but unhappily without effek`t. The feelings
.of the
parents on finding- their children lost to- them for
ever, may he much easier conceived than-expressed.'
The mother at first was much agitated, but soon
afterwards obliged to be carried away, having
fallen into a state of inensi6iiity. The eldest son
:was about twenty-thrce years of age, and the
younger seventeen. Their bodies were taken' home,
attended by their father.
