BRIGHTON, NovaRBER 16.

The news of she total destruction of the combined
fleets of Turkey and Egypt, and the conspicuous past
taken by our brave countrymen in this important mea-
sure, form the general topic of conversation here.,
Several of our citizens had relations in the engage.
ment. War, in the usual acceptation of the term, is
to be deplored ; but when engaged in for the defence of
a brave, oppressed, persecuted, and almost defence-
less nation, by a set of cruel tyrants, whom no treaty
can bind, and whose whole procedure has been marked
by the most heartless barbarity. it does appear a
legitimate subject of exultation to hear that we have
been instrumental in rescuing to great a number of our
fellow Christians from the fangs of such revengeful
monsters. Britons never hurled their thunder, nor shed
their blood in a more glorious cause. It may be hoPed
the good cause will not be abandoned until the liberty
of the Greeks is established upon the firmest basis.—
Brig/ion Gazelle.

It affords us great satisfaction to see that the subset its.
tion for a Monument to the memory of Mr. Camino, is rapidly in-
creasing. The hat comprehends the names of a vast number of
individuals distinguished for rank and talent. Among the names
last published we remark those of the Duke of Clarence, the
Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Somerset, Lord Goderich, the
Marquis of Anglesey, the Marquis of Stafford, the Marquis
of Lansdown, the Marquis Of Bristol, the Marquis of Sligo,
Lord Granville. the Earl of Roseberry, Lord B'exley, Lord
Stafford, Lord Morpeth, Viscount Samba, Viscount CUM.°,
Lord Sehey, lord Douglas, Lord Stourton, the Speaker, of the
House of Commons, the Attorney-General, Admiral Sir George
Cockburn, Sir Walter Scott, Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Huskimosi,
Mr. Croker, Mr. Planta, Mr. S. Bourne, and Nit.. A. Baring.--
• Sub-Committee had been previously appointed, of which Lord
Howard de Walden, Lord Morpeth, Mr. S. Rice, Mr. Bathhouse.'
Mr. Plants , Mr. Baring, and the S3licitor• General for Scotland are
members. In such hands the good work cannot fail, and we doubt
not the result will be all that the admirers of departed greatness
can desire.

Physician, has just been published, entitled ■ Sore Meths& 41
imprecise Health and Pielosagieg Life," which is said to cambia
a great deal of valuable and interesting information, and to embrace
all the must approved principles of health and I :ngevity, together
with maxims of health for the bilious and nervous, the consumptive,
and people of fashion. This work is intended to show the remark-
able rawer of proper food, wine, alt„ exercise, sleep, dte.—in the
ears of obstinate chronic diseases, as well as in promoting health

speak highly of it. A recent number of the New Literary Geeelle
says," The tendency of this Volume to advance the important abject.
which it proposes is unquestionable, and we warmly recommend it."
