THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX is bounded on the North by Surrey and Kent; on the East by Kent; on the South by the English Channel; and on the West by Hampshire. It is 70 miles long, and about 28 miles broad. It is divided into 6 rapes, namely, Arundel, Bramber, Chichester, Hastings, Lewes, Pevensey. Its principal rivers are, the Arun, the Adur, the Ouse, the Rother, the Rye, and the Cockmere. It has 18 market-towns: Arundel, Battle, Bramber, Brighton, Chichester, Cuckfield, Grinstead, Hailsham, Hastings, Horsham, Lewes, Midhurst, Petworth, Rye, Seaford, Shoreham, Steyning, and Winchelsea. It is in the PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY, and partly in that DIOCESE, but mostly in the DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER, and it is in the HOME CIRCUIT. Sussex sends 28 members to parliament; 2 for the county, 2 for the city of Chichester; and 2 for each of the boroughs of Arundel, Bramber, Grinstead, Hastings, Horsham, Lewes, Midhurst, Rye, Seaford, Shorebam, Steyning, Winchelsea. It contains 1,463 square miles, or 936,320 acres, and 310 parishes. It had 30 monastic establishments, and 26 public charities; it has 3 parishes with no churches; 32 parishes containing less than 100 inhabitants each; 54 parishes with no parsonage-houses; 60 parishes with parsonage-houses, which, in a return made to parliament in 1818, the incumbents represent as unfit for them to live in; the poor-rates were, in 1818, 356,5491. 13s. 114d,; the number of paupers, 26,323; the rental of the county,. according to a return made to parliament in 1818, was 915,3481. 1s. 7d.; the population, according to a return laid before parliament in 1821, was 233,019; the number of inhabited houses in 1821 was 36,283; the number of uninhabited houses at the same period, 1,272; the poor-rates bear the proportion of one-third compared with the rental; the number of paupers, compared with the number of houses, is 1 to every 2 the poor-rates, in 1776, were 53,4991.; the number of persons to every square mile of this county is 159; the number of acres to a person, S; the number of acres to a house, 26; the male population, in 1821, was 116,705; the families employed in agriculture were 21,920 in number; the families employed in trade or handicraft were 15,463 in number; the number of other families was 6,182; the agricultural male population, 58,721; able labourers, 29,360; the number of acres in this county to every able-bodied labourer, 31. This county is hilly near the sea-coast, or southern border, where there is a ridge of hilly downs, called the South-Downs. It may be divided into four classes of soil: the sandy, on the North, or borders of Surrey; the clay, along the middle, from one end to the other, called the Weald, and the chalk, the whole of the South-Downs, extending from the borders of Hampshire, that is, a little to the south of Midhurst, and running, by Ditchling and Lewes, to the coast on the south of Hailsham. The sandy district consists of arable, wood, and waste; of the two former nearly equal parts, and a good deal of the latter. Oak is the principal timber, and birch, in many places, constitutes a large part of the underwood. The arable produces good crops of corn, but it is but ill-farmed, the farmer be. ing woodman, husbandman, herdsman, warrener, and frequently smuggler, all at the same time. The clay district, or Weald, is a fine district of oak timber and bazel underwood, reaching from a little on the north of Rye to Horsham, and then into Surrey near Haslemere. This district is interspersed with pretty corn-fields, growing excellent wheat and beans, and, in some places, hops; but not above one-third of it is arable land. The chalk, or South-Downs, is the most beautiful range of smooth grass-land that can be imagined. Nor is it all grass-land, for many and very beautiful farms are carved out amongst the hills, with elegant farm-houses and complete farmi-yards in the pretty valleys between them. These are essentially sheep-farms, and, though wheat, barley, and oats are produced in them, their main riches have always been on the excellent breed of sheep raised on them, and which bear the name of the Downs themselves. The Sussex horned cattle are small, but very well made, and the cows are excellent milkers. The sheep are those above-mentioned; they are hornless, with black face and legs, the neck clean, and body not long or large, but remarkably round. They are excellent in flesh, and their wool is very fine. This sort of sheep is more general than any other in Sussex, though there are to be found flocks of the Dorset, and also flocks of the Romney-Marsh breeds. Neither the hogs nor the horses are peculiar. There are no mines in the County; the manufactures are gun-pow der, at Battle; paper on the eastern borders; charcoal in the Weald and in the northern part; soap, potash, blankets at different places, but not to an extensive degree.
