SUSSEX ADVERTISER, JUNE 13.

A correspondent at Magma states as follows.—The
county of Sussex Is an agricultural county, containing
933,360 acres. The number of families employed in agri-
culture in 1821 was 21,920, winquently, thee is more
than forty acres to each family. In the parish of Rlngmer.
in the same year, the number of families returned as em-
ployed in agriculture was 144; and to take, for arotnent's
sake, 40 acres as the average for each family, Ringmer
would contain upwards of 5,000 acres. The total number
of inhabitants in the same return of the parish of Eingmer,
was 1,271, which would amount to more than four acres for
each individual throughout the parish. And taking this
supposition to be correct, there would be 40 acres for the
employment of each family, which I contend, is an ample
space for beneficially employing an increased number of la-
bourers. It Is here worthy of remark, that in England,
where there is such an outcry about surplus population, there
are about forty acres to every able-bodied labourer employed
In agriculture.
On Friday, an East Indlaman, of five hundred tons, the
Wellington, from Madras, Captain Evans, anchored bout
half a league from the shore off this place. She brought
home a company of the 6111 regiment of foot, which had
been in India twenty-one years. The Wellinron was four
months and two days on her voyage. She had on board
three Bengal tigers, two hyenas, three zebras, a Bengal
pony, and a young elephant, only three feet in height.
Among some recently discovered fossil plants from Til.
gate Forest, Mr. Mantel has a leaf in whicb the fructifica-
don is most beautifully displayed.
It is now about five years since the savant of Germany
and France have annually met for the purpose of bringing
together the distinguished literati and naturalists of various
countries, and of promoting a more cordial co-operation
among them. We are glad to learn that a similar meeting
is to be attempted in this country, and that it is proposed to
be held at York, on Monday, the goth of September. A
scientific friend has favoured us with the following particu-
lars :—“ A committee of the principal Societies of London,
Edinburgh, &c. have fixed on the city of York as a desirable
place for the first meeting, to commence on Monday, £6th
September, a period of the year which has been ascertained
to be most convenient for the parties intended, and the meet-
ing is to be continued during as many days as may be
deemed expedient. Any friends of science in Great Britain
Of in other parts of Europe, who may wish to attend this
meeting, are requested to send stetter post paid to the Se-
cretary of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, in order that'
adequate preparation and accommodation may be secured.
It is proposed that the visitors shall assemble in the Mu-
seum and apartments of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society
to receive memoirs and communications, and they shall dine
together daily. Persona arriving in York on the 20th of
September, are requested to apply to the porter of the Mu-
seum for information as to the hours and places of meeting.
—Foreigners. who may honour the meeting with their
presence, will find every accommodation prepared for
them.

This was a bona fide We, notwithstanding,the estate was

Lord's will.

CURIOUS ST ans.—The prisoners in our House of Cor.
?talon struck, on Friday last, and refused to go upon the
tread wheel. The cause of their refusal war in consequence
of an idea that the bread which had bun served to them was
not of the proper weight. The fact, however, was found to
be otherwiee.

La mean Ye—Cheat numbers of this curiously heated Ibb
have been caught in our river. On !Woodsy last, between
forty and tifty pounds weight were ea y.cti on a shallow
near Hamsey Church, and sot y thy above is
the large stones on which they had fixed dissusieses
the persons who discovered them waded into the water, aid
grasping the fish round the body with their bands, threw
them into the boat. The lampreys weighed from one to two
and a half pounds each.
We have frequently noticed the beautiful improvement,
which is still in progress, in widening the carriage road es
the Marine Parade, Brighton, and in giving additional pro.
twice to the elif,by an efficient waif, to the encroachment
of the tide. The said improvement is amply meriting tbs,
jraise bestowed upon it—but, from some strange error is
udgment, in reducing the rise, the foot-path in front of
Herman-place hu beconie an unsightly object, the carriage
way passing beneath it to a depth of several feet, and to the
no trifling discontent of the inhabitant householders in that
fashionable

quarter.

The Rev. Hugh M'Neile, son.in.law of his Grace the
Archbishop of Dublin, Rector of Albury in Surrey, and a
memberof the " Reformation Society," has published a
Swoon which is making a great noise in the world. The
tolloolog are extracts from it :
*My dear brethren, licentiousness of the women of die
sides Is the sure forerunner of the most deadly adooky,
because it stupifies all the remaining kind and gemesoo
feelings of the nation. Even our profane writers could sae
this; even our profane poets, who discarded religion, could
show that this sin, the licentiousness of a nation, stupilin
all that is valuable, and all that is right, and all that Is
generous, and all that is kind and tender. . . . . .
The condition of this country, in this respect, is
very fearful ; and here, under the righteous canopy of the
explanation that I have already made, I must not hold my
tongue against one of the most awful, one of the wet fear-
ful affronts that was ever put, in the history et moo, um
the morals of a Christian nation. My dear brethren, meat
I not say, can I answer for myself before Goa if I say it net
in connection with such a portion of Scripture as this ?
bold, that we, as a righteous nation, ought to rise in indig.
nation against it; I hold that the church in this nation
should protest against it; I hold that the bishops in the
church, if they have a seat in the House of Peers, ought to
bring before the public—to bring into public notice the put-
tinglinto the Gazette-_the putting into honourable dignity of
station—what shall I say ?—children that are the fruit
re the fruit of ungodliness in the land !

The priesthood, too—the authorised Widnes atike people—
not alive to the circumstances of the sawntry, to the in-
creased intelligence of their flocks, esslinue their idle-
ness, continue their carelessness, continue their amusements,
continue glorying in sins which grieve the hearts of those
that love them, and give their enemies a handle whereby
to speak against them. They continue to donee, and to
play, and to hunt, and to gamble. Men who ought to
be at prayer, and engaged in studying the word of 00D
—who ought to be visiting the sick, who ought to
be going from house to house, from bed to bed, to pour the
consolation and the joys of religion into the hearts of the
poor helpless dying creatures around them ; instead of
being there, are to be found at ball rooms, and play-houses,
and fox loots, and race-courses. My brethren, this is true,
and the truth must be told."

Mr. Phillips, who started as a candidate for the county
the day before the nomination, has given much offence by
the following apology for the monopolies of avarice :
" But after all that human laws can do, they will never
make poverty cease from the land. It was denounced the
inevitable doom of the human race, that In the sweat of his
brow man should eat bread ;—but in ha very denounce-
ment was repealed the cum, and convened into the blessings
of honest labour and successful industry. So long as the
moral and physical powers of mankind shall differ, so long
will unthriftiness and waste', frugality and accumulation, and
the gradations of opulence, want, and penury prevail. But
they kindle and keep alive within us, all the kindlier feel-
ings of our nature, and bring all the charities of the human
bosom into full play. They are contrasts indeed which, se.
ptraWy viewed,disturb and afflict the mind; but they are the
lights and the shades of the human picture—they constitute
the strength and harmony of social existence. To complain,
therefore of poverty as implying a charge against the laws
and institutions of a country, is to complain of the consti-
tution of human nature heel; and of the laws that uphold
the universe."—(Mr. Phillips's Speech on the
.day of
Election.

It now appears (says the editor of the Leicester Chronicle)
'that'" want and penury" are necessary to private virtue, and
that the contrast which they present to individual opufence,
" constitute the strength and harmony of human existence."
We leave either sptem to the judgment of the public. We
now come to the all-Important, the momentous conclusion of
.this chain of reasoning. It is this—" To complain, there-
fore of poverty, as Implying a chaFinapinst the laws and
institutions of a country, is to coo of the constitution
of human nature itself, and of the we that uphold the uni-
verse ! These are the opinions of a reformer !—why a re-
former we cannot imagism But they painfully remind us
of a circumstance which we would most willingly for ever
have forgotten—that when Mr. Philipps was before borne
into Parliament upon the the good wishes, and the
expectations of the people.afei having proclaimed in the
Castle of Leicester the sentiment—" Vox poputi, cos dei,"
in a very few weeks after his election, he voted for the enact-
ment of those laws emphatic ally called the " Six Acts,"..—
the worst laws of the worst government that ever afflicted
this country.

PAINS OF OFFICE.--I had Once a discussion
with a gentleman, Who had been for a great number
of years in public situations, upon the effects of
such appointments on the character of those who
were thus elevated into power. He said, that he
had never seen a minister, after his appointment to
any high situation, who had preserved his temper :
that the Marquis of Carmarthen (afterwards Duke
of Leeds), who had been appointed by Mr. Pitt
Secretary of State for the Foreign Department,
was the person who had preserved it the longest;
but that in the space of a few months even his good
temper was subdued, and be became as irritable as
his predecessors.—Sir Joh* Sinclair.

Among the many curious returns to the population papers

latter, looking over the paper, " twenty-four women all in

Sally, "it is too true ; but mistress has set it down as if
