A fine old fisherman, dignified by the fraternity
with the title of the Port Admiral, paid the dv.t ri
nature, at Brighton, a few days ago. His name was
John Smart, and a smart fellow he had been in his eay.
He sailed up the Mediterranean with the late Erl
Craven, and was the man of trust on board his L'IL!•
ship's yacht. A more loyal seaman never broke hH-
cuit. After hew as laid up in ordinary there, he became
professor of maritime law to all his brethren. He hal

ANCIENT CHURCHES.—The number of Churches in
England, noticed in Doomsday- Bod, is little more dart

according to Doomsday is very remarkable—theie

only one in Cambridgeshire, and none in Laneast,ire,
Cornwall, or even Middlesex, the seat of the Metropc-
lis. This is rather an unsatisfactory return for the
time of the Conquest. While our antiquaries suppose_
that the Churches of the Anglo-Saxons were built ot
wood, it is worth remarking, that the only instance of,
a C.rurch so constructed in Doomsday, is at Begelas'',
in Yorkshire. Edward the Confessor gave the town of
Sandwich to the Church of the Holy Trinity, in Camel'
bury, and during his last illness gave two hides of lard
at Amesbury to the Abbess of Wiltun, for her prayers.
The town of Sandwich by ancient tenure sent to Christ
Church, Canterbury, 40,000 herrings annually, for the
refectory of the monks. The Church
of St. Peter,
Winchester, had 38,500 herrings from the villeins 00
their manor at Lewes, Sussex. William de Wale"ne
had 16,000 herrings from the Burgesses at Lewes. The
manor of Beccles, Suffolk, in King Edward's tinier
yielded 30,000 herrings to the Abbey of St. Edmund'
