SUSSEX NEWSPAPERS.

(From the Brighton Guardian.)
Some few weeks ego we published an extract, affecting the
Sussex newspapers, from the Newspaper Stamp Returns made
to the House of Commons in obedience to its order dated 30th
June last; and in so doing, we limited our extract to the first
five months of the half year which the return covered, and we
did so for two reasons,--first, because the limited extract so
made presented the true state, as near as might be without
being precise, of the relative circulation of the papers,—
secondly because we did not desire to accompany the publica-
tion by explanatory remarks, disturbing the simplicity of the
return. Within the last few days however the return from
which we obtained an extract has been printed and circulated ;
and wo therefore, to prevent the public from being abused by
attempts which will be made to impose upon it by fallacious
numbers, now give the six months' return, with such remarks
as we think necessary to give Advertisers a full understanding
of the matter. The full return, then, is as follows :
Return of the Number of Stamps issued by the Stamp Office,
for all Newspapers in Great Britain and Ireland, from Ist
January, 1837, to 30th June, both days inclusive, specifying
each Newspaper by name, and the Number of Stamps issued
each month during that period to each Newspaper.

From which the following results as the legitimate computed

. . Brighton Guardian
Sussex Advertiser
Brighton Gazette 60,000
Brighton Herald ... 48,000
Brighten Patriot

Establishing the fact which we announced on the 19th of
July las', "that the Brighton Guardian had attained the
largest circulation in the county," outstripping its three
seniors. The Sussex Advertiser has been in being nearly a
century, the Brighton Herald 32 years, the Brighton Gazette
rather better than 16 years, and the Guardian only 102 years;
and it has now, as a reward of its incessant toils, its admitted
industry, and its proverbial accuracy publicly achnotvledged by
one of its most determined political opponents, been placed at the
head of the newspaper press of the county. This is a compli-
ment to which we are not insensible ; and as the Guardian
was the first to introduce a full-sized newspaper into Sussex,
and to lead the way in the improvements which have taken
place in the county in the getting-up of newspapers generally,
so we can assure the public, that none of its energies will
be relaxed by the marked favour with which the exertions of
its conductors have been honoured.

But we dare say that some interested parties will be found
to take exception to the annual computation we have made.
Nay, we have already seen a deception attempted upon the
public by parties who claim for our Tory Cotemporary a
yearly circulation of 70,000 ; and to expose this cunning fraud
upon the advertising public is our present purpose. The de-
ceivers say—that 35,000 stamps have been issued to the.
Tory journal in the six months between the Ist of January and
30th of June, that twice 35 is 70, and consequently that the cir-
culation of the Brighton Gazette is 70,000 in the year. Now
this seems very plausible ; but when the hocus poet's is ex-
plained, it will be found to be as incorrect as the idea that
" twice one and twenty and twice twenty-one" are one and the
same thing.
A moment's attentive observation of the above return will
satisfy every observer that the circulation of the Brighton
Gazette does not exceed 5,000 per calendar month ; fur it will
be seen that although 10,000 stamps with its instinctive die
were jawed in February, not a single stamp was issued for
it in tie month of April; whence it is clear that the 20,000
issued to it in the first three months of the year sufficed for its
four months circulation, because till the fifth month has com-
menced, no fresh issue was made on its account ; and we are
strongly inclined to believe, for reasons which we will pre-
sently give, that part of the first three months' issue from the
Stamp Office remained to supply at least the first week of the
fifth month. But taking the Issue as the bona fide CONSUMP-
TION, it is clear beyond dispute that only 20,000 were used in
four months by the Brighton Gazette, and that another 5,000
issued in May supplied its wants in that month. If then not
more than 20,000 could be got rid of in four months, and the
next 5,000 answered all the calls for newspapers in May, can
any body doubt that the 10,000 issued in June was the supply
for two months ? In computing therefore the annual con-
sumption of the Brighton Gazette, the advertising public will
see the necessity of dividing the June supply between the
months of June and July; and in that case it will be, as we
have correctly stated it, 00,000, or 4,000 below the Brighton
Guardian.

But we are not sure that it is entitled to be ranked so high.
We have Already shown, taking for granted that it consumed
month by month the stamps issued for its use, that in four
months it could only have circulated more than 20,000 copies;
but for reasons which we will now state, we are strongly in-
clined to believe that it had not circulated the whole of the
20,000 in the four mouths, and that enough remained to work
off its first publication in May. The lst of May this year fell
on the Monday, se that the 5,000 stamps issued with its in-
stinctive die in that month could not have reached Brighton

_ - -
till the 2nd. Now all persons connected with printing are
aware that paper before it is used for printing newspapers
requires to be well soaked in water for a very long time; and
we believe it is the invariable practice of our Tory contempo-
rary to wet down his stamps on the Monday, which is none
too soon. It follows, as a matter of course, that stamps not
issued from the head office in London till the Monday could
not be soaking in water in Brighton on the same day ; and as
a further necessary consequence, that the first publication of
the Brighton Gazette in May, namely Thursday the 4th, teas
supplied from the stock-in-hand issued front the Stamp Office
in the previous March I
There is still another reason for supposing this to be the
case. Independently of the time being insufficient between
Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon, when the Brigh-
ton Gazette goes to press, for the
_paper to s,)ak properly, no
newspaper proprietor since the institution of the instinctive
die, would risk the penalty of printing on unstamped paper,
by delaying till the 2d of the month the receipt of the stamps
which he requires for use in the afternoon of (he ad; and we
are therefore confirmed in the opinion, in which we have no
doubt all thinking persons Will join, that in settling the circu-
lation of the Brighton Gazette at 20,000 for the first four
months of the present year, we are ranking it higher than the
absolute fact justifies. Supposing that it had only stamps
enough left from its March supply for its issue in the first week
in May, and •allowing,a-which, when we see such tricks are
played, is scarcely justiflable-,:that it did consume the whole
of the 20 000 in the eighteen publications which, including
the 4th May, it has made since the commencement of the year,
we find that its actual annual circulation will be decreased to
something less than 58,000, leaving it 6,001; in the rear of the
Guardian, though it is its senior by six years.
What the motive of the proprietors of the Brighton Cazet.::.
was in ordering a supply of 3,000 in March, when it is mani-
fest that they bad the greater portion of their February supply
on hand, we shall leave others to decide ; we will only state
the fact that a Tory Mcmbe-, who has since been kicked out
of the House of Commons by his constituency, moved early in
April for newspaper returns; but by some mistake the order
of the [louse was limited to the Metropolitan Press. Had
tho provincial issue been given at the same time, our Tory
Contemporary would have been decked in the borrowed Flumes
of having bad 20;000 stamps in three months ; whence an an-
nual computation of 80,000 would have been trumpeted to the
world—with what honesty and approach to truth we leave the
public to declare. Whether our Tory Contemporary received
any intimation from the Tory ex-Member for Belfast, we
know not; but it does seem curious that the consumption of
April should have been anticipated by the issues in February
and March ; and we fear, when the public come to remark
that the same manceuvra is repeated in June, without the
shadow of pretext, that it will be of opinion that something
like a settled design existed to act not only dishonestly to-
wards the public, but to take a mean and dastardly advantage
of contemporaries whom these Tories dare not encounter on
even terms, and saying little for the honesty of their profes-
sions of attachment to that holy Religion which inculcates
principles of rectitude and honest dealing towards one's neigh-
bour.

The same remarks apply to the young Brighton paper. Its
first two issues lasted it four months, and 3,000 met all its
little wants in the fifth. Its last issue was clearly meant to
cover two months' demand.

Besides the journals enumerated in the above extract, there
is a thing got up and concocted between the Carlton Club
manufactory for country newspapers and certain Tories at
Lewes, which clamours to be included among the Sussex
newspapers,—a distinction, which, when we ucollect its am-
phibious character, if we may so apply the term, we cannot
award to it. But it is Tory all over ; it is redolent of the
peculiar honesty and adherence to truth which has time out
of mind characterised that political party. The thing is sent
down from London, as the cook says, " done on one side,"
after it has supplied some half dozen or more things of the same
genus ; and at Lewes it is then finished off. This offshoot of
the Carlton Club was first darted into this county on the 4th of
February in the present year, and the gentlemen who blow
the trumpet at this end of the line would fain persuade the
world that it has already outstripped the Brighton Gazette,
its like in politics, but its vast superior in every other
attribute that ennobles a newspaper. They would fain
have the world believe that the Tories of Sussex, for-
getting the services rendered to their cause by the
Brighton Gazette for the last sateen years, have set
it aside in favour of a thing which, milen compared with that
Gazette as a medium of county intellivelice and as evincing
the talent of its conductors, is colstemrtible in tho extreme.
We cannot think so meanly of the Tories; they are prover-

bially good muter:, and would not treat our contemporary of
Vic B. ighton Gazette with so much ingratitude as to so. his
tried advocacy aside for a thing of yesterday's growth. Upon
the advertising public the parties will not, we arc sure, im-
pose, for they, like ourselves, will be sceptical in believing that
a new publication in any part of England would at starting
outstrip a contemporary of its own political creed not deficiont
in industry and zeal, while its own pretensions are of a deci-
dedly inferior character. The thing is too preposterous for a
moment's serious considefation, and whatever the hocus po-us
of the unscrupulous Carlton Ciab may with its ample funds be
able to accomplish, no man who kno;vs anything of active life
and of the county of Sussex will believe that half the papers
taken out by the Carlton Club party for the ,Sussex edition of
their paper ever comes into the county, or if they do, that they
are not sent back again to furnish the trunk-mak:m of the
metropolis, or applied to the more ignoble purpose of supply-
ing the domestic wants of the Conservative gang.

this we will give one specimen, and with that conclude :
It professes to give the extent of its circulation ; and stat-
ing the number of stamps issued to it in the five months end-
ing 30th June, adds, " the 2,000 taken out in January for
No. 1, published 4th Feb., and consequently are added to
the total ;" and accordingly the 2,000 are added to the full
amount of stamps issued in the five months and represented
as the consumption of that period. But with true Tory
Honesty, the parties forget to remind those upon whom they seek
to impose that as their first publication for July (on the Ist),
was printed in London on the 30th of June, a deduction
should be made from that month's issue to the extent of the
Ist of July's consumption. Honesty is not however the
fort's policy, and we see it verified in this instance ; for while
the parties in this case make no allowance for the stamps used
by them in July, they claim to crowd into the February issue
the previous month's 2,000, thus producing an exaggerated
ind false result.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGIS-

TRATES.

COUNTY DAY—THURSDAY.
Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Chairman, and a full Bench
of Magistrates.)
COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM, HANWELL•

Colonel CI,ITIIEROW brought up the Quarterly Report
of the visiting justices of the County Lunatic Asylum.
The Report stated that the new western wing would be
roofed in early i❑ the spring, and that the other wing was
in a state of favourable progress. Four instalments had
already been paid to Messrs. Grissell and Peto, amounting
to amount 9,0001. There were 611 patients now confined
in the asylum ; five were discharged, and seven had died.
After a desultory conversation, the Report was received,
and ordered to be printed.
HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

The report of the visiting justices as to the state of the
House of Correction (4 Geo. 4,
.cap. 6f, sec. 23) was
brought up and read. The prison now contained 1,173
prisoners—of whom 847 are males, 3•_26 females, and 16
children, and of these there are 315 who are vagrants and
reputed thieves. The prisoners were orderly and quiet,
and paid every attention to divine worship and the spiritual
instruction of the chaplain.
Mr. HALSWELL asked the governor how many soldiers
were in the prison, and he answered only 50 now, though a
short time since the number was 80.
Mr. HALL—And it is our intention to apply to the Trea-
sury for the sum their maintenance has cost the county.
The report was then agreed to.

The annual statement of the Chaplain of the House of
Correction of the conduct of the prisoners, and his obser-
vations thereupon (4th Geo. IV., cap. 64, sec. 34), was
read, and in which the Rev. Gentleman stated that the
Catholic prayer-books which were sent to Catholic prisoners
had been " rejected " by him ; and that crime was much
increased by the difficulty of the poor obtaining relief in
consequence of the Pr-law Act.
Mr. HALL—Upon oo
what authority were these Catholic

hooks rejected ?
The Rev. Air. ORESBY (the Chaplain)—l suggested
that they should be rejected, but. I have furnished the pri-
soners with a bible and prayer-book each, instead of the
Catholic books.

Mr. LAURIE—I apprehend that the Chaplain has no
right to do this, and that we hare no right to sanction
what he has so done. Catholics and Protestants had the
same rights, and their consciences should be respected as
well as those of others.

Mr. HALSWELL—The word " rejected" being used in

the report speaks very strongly upon the subject. Sup-
pose Jewish books were sent to Jew prisoners, would they
too be" rejected ?"
The CHAIRMAN—" Rejected" is certainly an awkward
expression ; and, for my own part, lam satisJed that the
Catholics should have their books given to them like other
persons.

Mr. lIALL—I apprehend it is no part of the duti of
our Chaplain to interfere i❑ such a matter : hip conduct, to
say the least of it, has been most indiscreet.
Mr. POWNALL hoped that the sacred rights of conscience
never would be violated, and he certainly considered it
was not right in the Chaplain if he had done so. But then

he (Mr. Pownall) thought they never would take from the
Chaplain the right to urge prisoners to the use and perusal
of books. which he knew to be good. He believed the
Chaplain had exercised no control in the matter, but that
the prisoners had acted upon his suggestion.
S:r C. Fonnes had no doubt but that the Chaplain acted
conscientiously, but certainly he acted very indiscreetly.
He remembered on a former occasion being on a Committee
in which the Chaplain's refusal to permit Catholics the
use of their own prayer-books had been a subject of in-
quiry ; and in that case the visiting justices directed that
the books sent for the Catholics' use should be given to
them, and he hoped that a similar advice would be giyenio
the Chaplain now. Such a thing, he trusted, would not
occur again.

Mr. GIBSON said, they were now treading on dangerous
ground. They were bound to exclude immoral books from
the prisoners, but nut theological books, although the
theology might not be that of the orthodox church. The
Chaplain's report stated the important fact that he rejected
Catholic books for the use of Catholics, and that should
not be withdrawn from his report. _ .

Mr. ARMSTRONG ObjoCtCd to the report that it con-

tained an opinion of the Chaplain injurious to the operation
of the Poor-law Act, with which be had -no right on earth
to meddle, and which was to him (Mr. Armstrong) a matter
of as great surprise as the rejection of the Catholic prayer
books.

Sir J. S. LILLIE thought the Court should at once
show its disapprobation of the Chaplain's conduct in re-
jecting books which the 1a,.7 allowed to Catholic prisoners.
After Mille further discussion the report was referred
back to the Chaplain, and in an amended state to be pre-
sented the next county day. A similar refer.ence was made
in the report of time Chaplain of the New Prism).
COUNTY RATE..

Upon the motion of Mr. HALL, a county rate of one
halfpenny in the pound, amounting to c stun of 11,50 G/.
Is. 10d. for the ensuing, quarter, was agreed to.
. The CuAutittAN congratulated the county that there
vas not ohe parish in arrenr, although their mode of keep-
ing free of arrears had some he e been stated to he ex-
tremely foolish.—( Hear, hear.)
DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

A letter was received from Mr. Fox Made, Under-Se-
cret„,-,- of State, LI rcply to cm, rceentty written to Lord
iohn ilusEe.l! by the Chairman (Mr. Sergeant Adams), to
ascertain his Lor,'ship's opinion of the: propriety of placing
entrieil prisoners in thb„New Bridewell. Jlis Lordship was
pleased to appoint Tuesday, November 2J, to receive the
deputation, which is to consist of Vit. C!iairm in, Mr. it Itch,
Mr. Gibson, and Mr. Hall.
• THE NEW PRISON.

The report of the Visiting Justices of the New
(t Gco. IV., cap.. 64, sec. 23,) was brought up and read.
The prison contws 236 inmates, of whom there arc 131
males, 91 females, and JO boys, all healthy and well-con-
ducted. Tbey regularly atteJ divine worship.
A prolonged discussion arose up9n moving the adoption
of a resolution agreed to by the Comal,ittee, with respect
to the " separate " system, before the trial of prisoners, but
it was ultimately deferred to the next adjourntwnt day.
Several other motions which stood on the list were also
postponed, and the Court adjourned.

OLD MALTON CHURCIJ RATE.—Friday week,
pursuant to a notice, a meeting was held in -the, vestry of
St. Mary's Church, Old Maltoo, for the purpose of laying
a church rate, when the curate, who was in the chair, pro.
beomijou that
rn.
posed a rate of one penny in the pound, but, as the church-
wardens (lid not seem disposed to show how they intended
to expend t;.l-,' m onrceL,
refused, a churchman
d it having
moved
evidentan
the rate would b.:
mcnt sine die, to girt; the churchwardens time to prepare
the required statement. It was then moved, by way of
amendment, that the further consideration of the rate
should be postponed to the first, Tuesday in October 1838,
which was carried. The meeting was of a very stormy cha-
racter.

At- a meeting of the Entomologied Society of
London, last year, a paper was read by the SeerAary on the
exclusion of the house-fly from dwellings. The mode
adopted was a net of different-coloured meshes, about three
quarters of an inch square, and which whew placed against :I
window was found quite effectual in excluding the visits of
these troublesome insects from the inside of the room.
The same experiment was tried with meshes. made of the
finest black thread, one inch and a quarter square, •which
proved to equally effectual. The approach• of %revs was
also prevented by the above mode, very few finding their
way within the boundary. This was accounted fof by an
optical illusion in the eye of the insect. That net-work is a
defenee, against the intrusions of some insects, and those
particularly of the dipterous ordcr, as the house-fly is, was
known at least 2,280 years previously to the paper above-
mentioned being read before the Entomological Society in
London.—Dr. Bathurst's Notes on Nets.
