[From the Brighton Herald of February 6th, I860.] 



"Really our fishing population have reason to be 

 grateful they ought to consider themselves highly 

 favoured when a gentleman of Mr. Jesse's talents 

 and years, visiting Brighton for the benefit of his 

 health, takes so much interest in their behalf as to 

 write for their especial use and instruction such valu- 

 able and interesting lectures as he has done ; and, 

 moreover, to have those lectures printed and sold, as 

 he promises to do, for the benefit of their ( Home.' 

 The men evidently do appreciate Mr. Jesse's kindness, 

 as a token of which they have returned their thanks 

 to him as follows : 



" ( We, the undersigned fishermen and boatmen of 

 Brighton (and others present), beg to return our sincere 

 thanks to Mr. Jesse for writing and reading his good 

 lectures.
