StJStES. 
The extensive tract of forest land in the 
interior of Sussex, on the road to Brighton, is 
beginning to assume a m^re 3gieeal)le and 
cultivated aspect. Several farms have been 
already inclosed, and many are in a state of 
prepiration. Until the road to Brighton was 
opened through tnis part of the country, it 
vra? almost in a state of nature. 
Lord Sheffield has framed some excellent 
rule? and regulations for the government of 
?he new poor-house of the parish of Fletching, 
Sussex, and prefaced them with observations, 
that meiit the attention of the inliabitants of 
other districts. His lordship, in the fourth 
paragraph of his observations, most empha- 
ticallv states, that “Undistinguishing bene¬ 
volence oifejs a premium to indolence, prodi¬ 
gality, and vice. Unthinking pity rashly 
stops that natural course of things, by which 
■want leads to labour, labour to comfort, the 
knowledge of comfort to industry, and to all 
those virtues, by which the multitude so in¬ 
calculably acd to the strength and happiness 
of a country; and whilst it neglects that fe- 
srtccable poverty-w hich shrinks from public 
lighr, it encourages, by profuse and iirdis- 
triminate chanty, all those abominable arts, 
which make beggary,' and parish relief, a 
better trade than labour : these principles cars 
never be too deeply impressed upon the 
mind.”—/Ue shculd be glad to receive a CcJ>y of 
these Regulationsj for the sgtisfactisn cj our 
Readers.
