GARRATT, MAYOR.

ACOMMON COUNClL,hoiden in the
'Chan-11)er of the Guildhall of the City of London, on
Wednesday, the 11;th day of February, UM;
Resolved, 'chat this Court have observed with great satisfac-
tion the assurances contained in His Majesty's Speech from
the Throne, together with the declarations of the Charicell::r
of the Exchequer, respecting the general prosperity of-the
Country
. . .. • . . . . .

,
And, relying with confidence that such encouraging state-
ments will lead- to the repeal of various Taxes, and especially
to such as have been deemed most oppressive and vexatious in
their operation ; '
And knowing the patience -with vtrflich the people have borne
the heaviest burdens in times of national peril and difficulty,
they feel themselves bound to represent to the Honourable the
House of Commons that the Assessed Taxes; especially the
House and Window Dtities, have been grievously felt by the
middling and lower classes of Tradesmen ; nor can they be.:
lieve that the reduction of duties upon any article of luxury.
will afford those substantial benefits to the community which
would immediately result from the repeal of the House and
Window Taxes.

That the Collection of these Assessments is attended with
heavy charges, by the appointment of Collectors, Inspectors,
and Crown Officers, and that the numerous surcharges and ap
peals which arise out of this system occasion the most vexatious
contests to every part of the Kingdom. WOODTITORPE.

" The Sketches of Country Scenery, in • which this volume

By J. H. BA VERSTOCK, F.S.A,

The process of Brewing (as the Compiler justly observes in
his prefatory remarks) " is a scienee depending for its success
upon certain and invariable principles,, and is not a mere me=
chanical operation, performed by any menial and illiterate per-
sons whom it may be convenient to employ in it ; and it is in
consequence, beginning to rank as high among the Arts and
Scientific manufaCtures as the enormous duties which it pays
entitles it to among the revenues of the kingdom."

SUSSEX COUNTY HOSViTAL and GENERAL SEA
BATHING INFIRMARY, to be opened to the Poor of

ANY COUNTY OR NATION when suffering under

. Sickness or casual Injury.
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 generallyi. 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 labostring duties 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 benefits
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 die 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 far the completion of a buil&
ing to contain 60 patientS, iheluding the purchase of the
ground,, does not exceed 12,000/. ; that the. annual eitpendi-
ture of such an institution would be about 1,7001.; 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 ptifehase of the land, and the erection of
the edifice, nearly 8,0001-liave 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.:
lie 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.
