' cise, that it .was difficult to contend with 
tim; and his very years, which had all the 
venerability, without any of the weakness of 
ape, added the imposing advantage of high 
respect and awe. Rank never dazzled him 5 
office and power he treated with indifference ; 
and all the ‘habits of his life were guided by a 
calm and manly independence. He was a 
waster of the law (various and complex as it 
is) which concerns the duties of a country 
magistrate, and wielded all its technicalities 
with astonishing readiness and skill. On 
these subjects he was firm, and sometimes, 
perhaps, a little tenacious in his opinions ; 
but it was very rarely that he could be de- 
tected in an error, His pen was continually 
in his hand, and in the course of a long life, 
he was the author of several pamphlets and 
political letters of a temporary nature, which 
have probably perished with the occasion. 
He has left a widow. (his third wife) Anne, 
daughter of the late Mr. James Powell, of 
Wingham, and three daughters; of whom 
the eldest married James Williamson, esq. 
late major of the 70th regiment; the other 
two are single. He was a most affectionate 
husband, aha a most fond and attentive 
father ; dedicating much of his time to, the 
instruction and accomplishment of his chil- 
dren; and applying his care and-his fortune 
to their gratification. in his death, both 
they and his widow will experience an irre- 
parable loss. He has left one surviving half- 
brother, the Rev. Henry Carter, of Witten- 
ham, in Berkshire, who has several children ; 
ot whom, two sons 4re post captains in the 
navy. He has atso left two nephews by a 
sister; the Rev. Thomas Pennington, rector 
of Thorley, Herts. ; and the Rev. Montagu 
Pennington, vicar of Northbourn, near Deal, 
the biographer of Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, his - 
sister.

SUSSEX. 
From an advertisement in our paper, {says 
the editor of the Brighton Herald) the public 
will perceive, that some of our friends in 
London have been seized with a desire to blesa 
this town and its vicinity with water works. 
It will alsa be seen that the commissioners of 
Brighthelmstone, not immediately perceiving 
the necessity of es a boom, are determined 
to reject it. They have refused it civilly 
from the gentleman who made a respectful 
aRpLicat ion to them on the subject 5 but 
should it be attempted to force it upon thems 
by an act.of parliament, they have pledged 
themselves to the town to do all in their 
power to prevent its taking place. Dr. Tier- 
ney, who has proressionally paid great ate 
tention to the quality and sources of the water 
with which Brighton is most profusely sup. 
plied, declares, that it is the most healthy 
and salubrious that the tsland of Britain can 
boast, and that should this water be diverted 
from its natural course, confined in reser- 
voirs, or pass through pipes, it would be de= 
prived of its medicinal character, and might 
generate diseases, whith at present are al- 
most unknown to the inhabitants.
