Nov. 24, Miss Coombs, eldest daughter of George Coombs, one of the magistrates of Arundel. Mr.Vine, sen. of Russel-place, Brighton. Dec. 6, At Brighton, after a long illness, Mrs. W. Wigney, wife of W. Wigney, jun., esq. At Bosham, Anne Lovell, who had regularly kept the Chichester fish-market for more than 50 years. 5, James Perry, esq., many years editor and proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, which, by his own personal exertions, he had raised to the distinguished place it now holds in the public press of England. His character stood deservedly high; and throughout a long political life, he had the rare fortune to secure the esteem of all parties; since, however much they might differ from him in sentiment, it was impossible to withhold from him the meed of sincerity and real independence. In private life he was equally estimable; and it is not too much to say, that his grave is bedewed with the tears of his country. 11, at Eastbourne, Col. Mitzner. 12, at Brighton, Phoebe Hassel, aged 111. She had for the last seven or eight years been a pensioner of his Majesty, at 10s.6d. per week: she had formerly served in the army, and fought in the battle of Fontenoy. - 12, at Lewes, Lucy, the wife of Wm. Payne, esq. At Battle, P. Wellard, esq., solicitor. 13, at East Grinstead, Mr. Thomas Palmer, postmaster of that place for more than 40 years. 5, at Chichester, Mr. W. Marshall. He had, as a blacksmith, realized a competency, which he invested in the firm of Howard and Gibbs, whose failure, and the consequent loss of his property, is supposed to have preyed on his spirits, and to have caused his death. He was found dead at his bed-side, in an attitude of prayer. LONDON MARKETS AND PRICE CURRENT. CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER, 1821.

Our Cambridge and Oxford friends will see the value we set on their favours, by the use we have made of them. Some communications arrived too late for our present Number: we shall avail ourselves of them in our next. Among these is a most able review of "Happiness, a tale for the Grave and Gay," for which we are peculiarly obliged. The writer's opinion of this excellent work agrees exactly with our own. We have received three letters from Dublin, and one from Edinburgh, complaining of not being able to procure us in those cities. We assure our friends that this circumstance shall not occur again. Dan Doggrel is the very prince of poets; he is exactly after our own heart. We anxiously expect the fulfilment of his promise. Jonas Touchwood is too dry for us. A. is sincerely thanked. We hope to hear from him this month. We wish Пay would send us a prose article. We are sure he has talents, but poetry is not his forte. To our friend R. at Brighton, we offer our warmest acknowledgments for his kindness. We entreat him to believe that we entertain a just sense of the favours he has conferred upon us. We have many other friends at Brighton, to whom our thanks are due: we beg that they will accept them, and believe us truly grateful. We assure Q. that annunciations of all sorts will be thankfully received: we only reserve to ourselves the privilege of returning those articles which we may deem unfit for the pages of our Magazine. Were all our correspondents like Q. this would be an easy task. We thank G. A. "The Recluse" mode of life she has adopted, has, we regret to say, given too sombre a tinge to her writings. We confess Proteus is too much for us; we cannot understand him. We have received several highly flattering letters, complimenting us more particularly on the style in which our University and Ecclesiastical Intelligence is given. We feel a pride in the conviction that this praise is not altogether undeserved. The plan we have adopted is entirely original: our knowledge is drawn from the most authentic sources: and there is not a periodical work in existence from whence this valuable information can be derived, EXCEPT OUR OWN. Several of our best friends, whose communications we have inserted we purposely refrain from noticing here: we conceive that we have given the strongest proof in our power of the estimation in which we hold them. We now bid farewell, for the present, to our numerous and kind friends: wishing "To all and each a fair good night, "And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light." THE BRIGHTON MAGAZINE, No. II. FEBRUARY, 1822. HOME MANUFACTURE. Of all the arts that are practised in this artful world, the art of book-making is, and ought to be, the most encouraged. No task is more amusing-none so profitable yet none so easy of practice-provided always, that the wright sets about his business in a workman-like manner, selects his materials skilfully, and puts them together tastefully—secundum artem, as Richard Gossip says. Seated in a well-stocked library, (Geoffrey Crayon recommends that of the British Museum,) or with "the run" of a good circulating one," THE TOURIST" may perform the circuit of the universe with as much ease as if mounted on the back of the celebrated Pegasus of Pacolet. Having made his observations, he can send forth to the world the journal of his voyage, and may describe accurately the latitude, longitude, climate, extent, population, religion, manners, customs, soil, produce, arts, manufactures, and commerce, of every nation on the face of the globe. The Miner may dive into the bowels of the harmless or harmful earth-explore, and afterwards expose its hidden treasures, without a necessity for Sir Humphry Davy's patent lamp to light him on his way, or as a preservative against that species of Hibernicism, fire-damp. THE RHYTHMIST (as the correct phrase is) may, by culling here and there a flower, together with a leaf or two of his own, with very little exertion, compose a beautiful poetic bouquet, comprising an ode, a satire, an elegy, a sonnet and an epic; all of which he will find "Pat to his purpose," as HAZLITT said when speaking of an Irish ball-player *. THE MILITARY JOURNALIST, or Chronicler, may, as an eye |
