BRIGHTON.

FRIDAY.--The Hon. Mrs. Greville will entertain a dis-
tinguished party this evening, and every night next week is
filled up for fashionable parties.
Owing to the severe and unprecedented snow storm, we
have no fashionable news to communicate. Business has
been almost entirely suspended all the week. Scarcely a
single equipage has been seen in the streets, and all fashion-
able parties have seen postponed. Al! communication with
other important towns, except the metropolis, is cut off.
We have heard nothing from Tunbridge Wells, Hastings,
or Chichester up to the hour we are writing (one o'clock),
and we fear that we shall have yet to lea: of sad disasters.

moment one hundred men are employed within the mate
of one hundred yards in North-street, to clear the road.

with six horses, but we are informed that the passage from
this place to -Crawley is now free.
