This place still continues to keep a number of vi-
sitors ; but this Cannot be surprising, when it is con-
sidered the may natural beauties it possesses.—
From its verdant appearance, as far as the rye can
reach, it resembles a mild spring rather than the
winter quarter. We have no fogs, agues, nnr fevers,
but health, blooming health, sporting on every coun-
tenance. We have many families of distinction
amongst us, whose rank and sitostien in life could
command all the Insuries and entertainments of the
metropolis; but these are enjoyments when com-
pared to the pleasure of residing in roseate Worthing
—`• trifles light as air."

Mi. cud Mrs. FLo'clt and family are still here ;
the 'spearing Quixotic attack made by Mr. PEEL
upon their peace, has crented neither apprehension
nor dread. Indeed, Mr. l'szt. could not have se-
riously bad any idea of a duel : and this we believe
to be the genets! opinion. He, no doubt, was aware
that Worthing had neither constable nor head-
borough residing in it, therefore there was no great
danger its breaking the peace; but surely the &Wrath
day ought to have been considered ' • end then the
&melee—it certainly was too mach. Mr. FLoyEtt is
very near sighted, and almost old enough to be Mr.
Prott.'s grandfather ; all these points considered, aced
maturely weighed in the scale of perilous adventure,
there was no reasonable chance to be afraid of the
danger

that enviton
The man w ho meddles with eobt iron."
The town of Worthing is now reordered perfectly
safe and at ease as to its Police Establishment. We
feel a pleasure in announcing to the Public, that hit,
RICUAND JONES has been appointed the hingistrate.
We could pay, and most deservedly, a high-sound-
ing compliment to this worthy and inestimable che.
ratter, bat we are forbid from the great respect he
is held in, and it might be considered hi a diferent
point of view to which we w►sh to place it.
