The following particulars, among others, 
have been Jately publithed, refpecting the 
improvements and alterations in the Prince 
of Wales’srefidence at Brighton. The Prince’s 
bedchamber is divided re three compart- 
ments; the cent er inclofes, by fliding parti- 
tions, the bed, which is fitted up asatent, 
~with reflectors, UPAR tohis Koyai High- 
neis the ee prenady) Xa the Steine very dif- 
Zinctly, while he reclines on his pillow. On 
tone fide is ai! anti-chamber, and on the other 
a breakfaft-room. The grand faloon remains 
as before. The painting by Rebecca has 
been cleaned by Mr. Crace, jun. Thedome, 
however, is partly new, except the figures, 
by the artiftt Barzago. The Confervatory, 
2n additional wing, is extremely light and 
elegant; the ceiling is painted in fky-treil- 
dage in frefco. The plants are to be of the 
Toft rare and variegated kind. The eating- 
zoom, the other additional wing, commends 
©n efitire view of the Steine and fea. The 
€ciling painted fky-colour, the pannels dark 
inaroon, and ftyle yellow. The windows of 
the whole fuite are executed with uncom- 
mon mecHanica] kill. The library will be 
fitted up in the French ftyle, the paper a 
brilliant yellow. The-billiard-room is ver 
extenfive, and will include hazard, billiard, 
and money-tables. The entrance to the 
Rair-cafe from the anti-reom is truly {pacious 
and grand—four pillars in fealioliare by Rich- 
ter. The newells and fkirting-boards are 
Wade to imitate wainfcot, the. walls are 
painted of a bright-green, and the ceiling of 
the ftair-cafe grey and white. ‘Fhe hall,a 
Rtone-colour and white; in the centre is 
placed a patent ftove, which communicates 
warmth to the whole building. All the 
corridors are painted a beautiful French blue, 
the effect of which, from one end to the 
Suffex—Hampfhire. 
f OGober %, 
ther, is novel and Sihinn. The front of 
the edifice, viewed from the Steyne, is high- 
ly pleafing, the additional wings prefenting 
an uniformity which was wanting before. 
The grounds are difpofed with great pi@tu~ 
re{que beauty and effect, by Meiirs. Lapidge 
and Hooper, pupils of the late celebrated 
Mr. Brown. ‘The drive-in, which before 
was by much too narrow, has been rendered 
commodious by the tafte and judgment of 
Sir John Lade. The family part of the 
houfe and domettic offices are fill confidered 
as too fmall for the accommodation of the fer= 
vants ; the Prince, however, intends to add 
another wing to correfpond with the houfe, 
late Weltjie’s. The ftables and coach-houfes, 
which are very fpacious, have not been alter- 
ed, but merely re~ painted. 
At a late meeting, held at Horfham, Au- 
gut 18, W. Mitford, efq. in the chair, it 
,was refolved unanimoufly, that it is the opi= 
nion of this meeting, that an inland naviga- 
tion from London to Portfmouth would be of 
great public utility : that certain Aéts of 
Parliament having been already obtained for 
making a canal navigation from the Thames, 
at Rotherhithe, to Croydon, in the county of 
Surrey, it is defirable that a canal fhould be 
made to commence at the termination, of 
the faid navigation at Croydon, and to be 
from thence to Portfmouth, é&c. &e. 
In confequence of the taleing up of thal 
lows, and Cutting off angles and other ob- 
fructions in the navigation of the River 
Oufe, between Lewes Bridge and Newhaven, 
during the courfe.of this fummer, the water 
will ebb lower during the prefent and future 
heaps, by neatly afoot, at the bridge, than 
it had ever done heretofere. By the above 
work, when finifhed, the drainage of the low 
Jands in Lewes and Laughton levels will be 
rendered complete, and the tide-nawigation 
will be much accelerated and bettered.
