3 SUSSEX, 
That beautiful structure, the Cross of Chi- 
chester, which from encroachments has been 
built so near to, as to render the thoroughfare 
Very incommodious, has been many times re- 
presented as a nuisance, and its demolition 
threatened. The lovers of antiquity will, 
_ however, be pleased to find that it is likely 
to remain, agreeably to the intention of the 
Mounder, as an ornament to the city. The 
-©orporate body have purchased the range of 
ouses to the north of it, where they intend 
to open a carriage read of sufficient width.

At Southampton, Captain Thomas Prescotty 
the senior commander in his Majesty’s: navy, 
and believed to be the oldest officer in the ser- 
vice of his country, at his decease, He, was a 
midshipman, serving on board the Bucking- 
ham, at Gibraltar, when George the First died, 
which was before the oldest Admiral now in 
the navy was born, He was a lieutenant on 
board the Buckingham, in the action rendered 
famous by the trial of Admirals Lestock and 
Mathews, and was an evidence examiped in 
that memorable court-martial. After which he 
was seven years first lientenant of theGraftony 
Commodore Holmes, at the time the Graftoa 
rudders were first introduced ; in this ship he 
was employed at the siege of Quebec, where 
part of the debarkation of the troops fell to 
his lot; he was atiending on that duty on 
shore, on the spot when the lamented General 
Wolfe breathed his last. After the reductfon 
of Quebec, he proceeded to Jamaica; in the 
year 1761 he was promoted to the rank he 
held at his death. As hie was unable to pur- 
sue active service afterwards from the effects 
of some very severe wounds about his head, 
which he received as a midshipman when in 
the West Indies, in the act of boarding a pri- 
yateer, the impress was the only service he 
ever after was capable of. But in the lute 
war, while living in the Isle of Wight, at the 
time of threatened invasion, his application 
to the Admiralty ran thus, *¢ If their lord- 
ships will give me charge of a battery on the 
coast, I flatter myself I can sit and defend it 
as long as, any man, though from my age I 
cannot run away.” For several years past 
his Majesty has personally noticed him when- 
ever pessing in that neighbourhaod; the Jast 
time his Majesty was at Souchampton,. this 
veteran was sent for, and was able to atiend 
the summons, and was highly gratified at the 
notice of his Sovereign,
