The population of the parish of Southminstcr is 1421, being a decrease of 21 since the last census. A match was played on Tuesday last, between the Norwich City Club and the Norfolk County Club. The Norwich went in first. Five wickets were put down with out a run, and the whole side scored only 35 notches.— The betting was at that time five to two on the county. Norfolk County Club succeeded in scoring 68 runs against the bowling of William and Fuller Pilch, exhibiting some fine hitting as well as steady and cautious play. The second innings of the Norwich side was commenced on Tuesday evening, and two wickets were put down for 15 notches. This terminated the first day's play. On Wed nesday morning, about an hour elapsed before another wicket was got, and then Fuller Pilch took the bat, Bentley remaining in with him. The playing for about two hours was splendid, and must have delighted even those best acquainted with the game. The score of this innings amounted to 142. Before 50 had been scored, 2 to 1 on Norwich. The county players were thus set 109 to tie, which they did not succeed in getting, although they displayed some very determined batting. They never thelese made a good innings, viz. 72, and kept the game alive te the very last. Paxton AloirtEnvass.—A complaint was made by the overseer of Chelmsford against the overseer of Widford at the Sessions, for attempting to burthen the former parish with a man and his wife. The elan, it appeared, was tra- veiling along the road, and his wife, who was near her ac couchement, was taken ill at Widford, in consequence of which they called upon the overseer. The overseer gave them two shillings, and pointed out to them the nearest path to Chelmsford, where the woman was put to bed, and be come chargeable to the parish. The Bench told the overseer that he must proceed by indictment against the officer of IVidford, which he said he certainly should do. Paaia APPRENTICEII.—A rule was lately obtained in the Court of King's Bench, calling upon Mr. Mills and Mr. Ceurteney, two Magistrates of this County, to show cause whether they had any valid ground of objection to allow poor boys, belonging to parishes in Suffolk, to be bound appren tices to fishermen, residing in Essex. On Wednesday Mr. Campbell showed cause against the rule. After a short ar. gument, Lord Tentettlen said that it appeared to him, under the sfl Geo. 111. that Justices of Phe County, into which it is proposed to bind parish apprentices, have a general discre tion to decide whether the binding shall or shall not take place. If that discretion applied to a particular matter, the Court might interpose; but here they had a general discre. tion to exercise, and the Coutt could not interfere. Rule discharged with costs. Nl'ennington races, which usually take place in June, will rot be held there this season. It is reported that Wor ley common, nearly Brentwood, will be substituted as the race-ground in the ensuing month, and from the admirable opportunities of forming, at a trifling expense, a most ex cellent course upon this delightful spot, the site would prove most eligible. ... 749 An inquisition was taken on the 30th ult. at Lackford, Bury St. Edmund's on view of the body of J. Woodcock. The deceased, who was a labourer in the employ of Mr. Musket., was leading a bull, the property of his master, from one stall into another, when the animal ran at him, and after knocking him down, repeatedly thrust its head upon his chest. The bull wart known to be vicious, and lad made time attacks upon his driven as he was return ing home. The deceased had been cautioned not to take hold of the chain, as the ringle to which it was fastened had only been put into the bull's nose the day before the acct. shot ; but he persisted, and on falling to the ground retained the chain in his hand, and thereby dragged the bull upon hint. The deceased survived the accident about half an Friday there was a good supply of Engli.h Wheat, but the buyers were slack : Oats were as usual a ready sale, and Partridge Pen ' of which but few samples were shown, w e r e much enquired for. Some foreign barley was sold as low as 305. per qr. Wheat, white. 641 to 765; Red 56s to 725; Barley 405 to 43s ; Oats 275 to 325; Peas, Partridge, 36s to 385 ; White 38s to 40s ; Beans, Tick, 365 to 385 ; Harrow, Tick, 38. to 405; Canary seed per bushel, 7s 6d to 9s.

Mr. Houblon represented this county in Parliament from the year 1810, upon the death of Colonel Bullock, until the decease of Geo. 111. in 1020, when he was succeeeed by Sir Eliab Harvey. Mr. Houblon stood Iwo contests with Mr. Burgoyne, the first in the year 1810, which lasted fifteen days the other in the year 1812, which lasted five days. The deceased was much respected by a numerous tenantry, and by the poor, who have lost a generous benefactor. BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL, Juxi 4. On Thursday, a special meeting of the Political Council was held, for the purpose of considering the case of Mr. C. Andrew Thomson, a Member of the Union, who claimed the interference of the Council in endeavouring to obtain redress for the great public wrongs of which he had been I the victim. Mr. Thomson gave an affecting history of his injuries. Ile stated, that he and his father had possessed in the year 1791, the sum of 300,0001. consols, besides other large personal property. That finding the price of his eon.l sole had fallen from 90 to 00 in the year 1810, and that the value of the money in which the 60 was measured was at that time reduced one half, he had decided upon investing his personal property in land. He accordingly made some large purchases, having the cash in band to pay for the whole; but some years elapsed before the lawyers could complete a satisfactory title, and during those years he ex perienced losses of 100,0001. in his trade as a wine merchant in the city of London. When the title was completed these losses rendered it necessary for him to take up the sum of 60,0001. on mortgage, for the purpose of enabling him to complete the purchases. He had bought one estate for 72,0e0 and another for 00,0001. and having paid the whole of the 72,0001. he granted a mortgage upon the estates for the sum of sixty thousand pounds. In this way his purchases sere completed in the year 1810. His property was still very large, and he considered that in having it invested in land he had taken the hest possible security for preserving it. Ile hid been deprived of more than one half of his pro. perry by the measures of the Government and the Legials. tun, which had reduced the value of his money and the price of his consols at the same time. But he still retained a very large property. Unhappily for him, however, in the year 1819, the Government of this country adopted other measures for again restoring the value of the currency, and of beating down the prices of property to the ancient level which existed in the year 1791. But they adopted no mea. sure for reducing his mortgage of 60,0001. The copse. quince was, that the monied price of his two estates fell one half, and the mortgagee produced his mortgage and took possession of both iris estates, under the form of law, and the mask of insulted justice. In addition to this he had paid the sum of 30,0001. for interest and expenses, and having sustained some further losses by a similar depression in the price of his stock of wine, he was compelled to be come a bankrupt in the year 1821 , and reduced to the ne cessity of seeing his creditors receive only seven shillings in the pound, when if justice had been done to him he could readily have paid them twenty shillings in the pound seven times over. Alr. Thomson here gave some distressing de rails of the sufferings of himself and his father, whom he de clared to have died of a broken heart. He stated that he had appealed to the Courts of Law and of Equity, and to the Houses of Parliament in vain. On Thursday evening, five candidates contested the Ana tomical prize at the School of Medicine of this town, before Jones Quoin, Esq. B.A. and Lecturer of Anatomy in Lon don ; the examination lasted five hours, and such was the equality between three of the competitors, that the subject was renewed yesterday morning, when, a fter a very severe struggle, the first prize was adjudged to Mr. Lloyd, pupil of Mr. Vaux, and son of James Lloyd, & q. of this town , and the seco nd to Mr. Walton, house pupil at the General Hospital. Tuesday night last, as one of the keepers was exhibiting the animals in Wombwell's splendid exhibition of wild beasts in this town, a young man, named Fletcher, living in a court in Si. Martin's-lane, being imprudently pushed against the tiger's den, one of its furious instates suddenly caught him on each side of his face with its claws. For. tunately, the tiger missed the first hold upon the young men's neck, but the claw of the other foot caught in his mouth. A survey is making to ascertain the practicability of a branch railway from the main line of the projected Wolver hampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway, at Tipton, by a tunnel through the Lill, at Dudley, to the Bufferies, and to extend from thence to Dudley-wood, the Level, Ne.l therton, the Lye, and Stourbrldge. The customary annual entertainment given by the High Bailiff, took place at Dee's Royal Hotel, on Wednesday last. About 130 gentlemen, principally inhabitants of the town, sat down to dinner. Oliver Mason, Esq. as boat, oc cupied the chair of the centre table, supported on his right by the Earl of Dartmouth, sir Gray Slupwith, James Foster, Esq. M.P. and on his left by Lord Lyttleton. Sir B. D. Scott, M.P. Wolwryche Whitmore, Esq. M.P. &e. The Low Bailiff, (H. Smith, Esq.) presided as Chairman of the table on the right of the High Bailiff, and Thomas Lee, F.sq. at that on the left. Mr. Meredith, Mr. J. T. Lau rence, and Mr. Anderton, officiated as Vice-Presidents. The dinner was of the most splendid description, the tables being covered with every delicacy which the season affords, and I the wines choice and excellent. _ NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.-011 Monday last, the first stone of Coeby Beck Valley Bridge, was laid by Philip Henry Howard, Es q. M.P. This bridge will consist of seven arches, each of 50 feet span, and will be about 60 feet high ; that near to it, over the Eden at We theral, the first stone of which was laid last year, will con sist of five arches, each of 80 feet span, and will be about 100 feet high. The designs for both are extremely chaste and I substantial. LITZRPOOL AND MA) CHIIITER RAILWAY COMPANY.— The importance of this Company to the general interests of the community, becomes every day more apparent. In the best periods of the coach system of management, 750 or 800 passengers was the moat that could be conveyed to and Fro in one day. In the present mode of conveyance by the rail. way, there appears to be no limits to its powers of accommo dation. During the last week (being Manchester Races) 15,953 persons passed on the railway between Liverpool anu Manchester, besides those taken up at the intermediate sta tions, and which are calculated at 2000. The inside fare is 6s. std the outside, 3s. Bd. ; the returns from which, for passengera alone, during one week must, therefore, have been not less than 30001. The quantity of goods, also, during the wetk, was so immen-e that great quantities remasned each day ; and on Wednesday, another new engine, con structed on the principle of the Planet, was placed upon the I road. Rtroax.—The following paragraph, proposing a plan of Reform similar to the present measure, is extracted from Aris's Birmingham Gaulle, of April 27, 1767, which shows that so long as 84 years ago, nomination and rotten borough, although at that time they were comparatively few, yet the evil was felt and a remedy projected :—" It is said a certain public spirited gentleman has made the following proposal to a Patriot Nobleman, in order to have the same laid before an august assembly, before the breaking up of the present session, Viz. that all cities, and great trading towns, shall have an additional number of Representatives in Parliament, in proportion to their extent and populous. ness ; that as the city and suburbs of London, together with the borough of Southwark, are computed to contain one seventh of all the inhabitants of England, their Representa tives in Parliament shall be one-seventh part of the whole House of Commons, that Birmingham, She Meld, and other populous towns, which have no Representatives, shall, for the future, have a number proportionate to their trade, and number of inhabitants • by this means the House will have between 2 and 30 0 new Members added to it, which will prove one of the strongest barriers against the entrance of bribery and corruption, by making it too expea• sive a job for any Ministry to attempt it." Tat LATE Ala. HIISEISSOIL—A tablet of white mar ble, bearing the following inscription, has been erected at Parkside, near Newton :—" This Tablet, a tribute of per sonal affection, has been placed here to mark the spot where, on the 16th of September, 1630, the day of the opening of this rail-road, the Hight Honourable William Huskinton, M.P. (singled out by the decree of an inscrutable Provi. deuce, from the midst of the distinguished multitude that surrounded him), in the full pride of his talents and the per. fection of his usefulness, met with the accident that onca. &Jonal his death, which deprived England of an illustrious statesman and Liverpool of its most honoured representa tive ; which changed a moment of the noblest exultation and triumph that science and genius had ever achieved, into one of desolation and mourning ; and striking terror into the hearts of assembled thousands, brought home to every bosom the forgotten truth, that—" in the midst of life we are in death." It is confidently rumoured that some Important alterations in the Church Lima are seriously contemplated, and are, in fact, under consideration. Among others, It is said that the Athanasian Creed will be mowed foes the Rubric, and Incorporated is the Ankles.

CIRENCESTER, May Sl .— The contest for Coroner is at an end, and we are truly thankful for the relief. We rejoice more particularly that it is over, because the system re sorted to on this occasion afforded a dreadful example to the lower orders. It is really high time that the election of Co roner was placed on a different footing. Wby not divide the county into districts, appoint an soma to each dis trict, who would in one day collect the votes of the Free holders and transmit them to the High Sheriff. On the late occasion, and on both sides, men and boys, without the slightest pretensions to a vote, exercised their suffrages, and many of whom did so much honour to the cause of their re spective candidates, as to vote several times over. Bach morning during the contest the din of warlike preparations In this town, commenced with the dawn—the influential friends of Mr. Bevir were seen marshalling their men, and giving them instructions for their guidance during the day, with as much bustle and importance as could have been m emory ifs measure of the most vital importance to the state had called them into action. The Humble Petition of the undersigned Freeholders of the County of Gloucester, to the Chancellor, Sheweth,—That at an Election just dosed fora Coroner for the County of Gloucester, the riots and tumults were so violent and disgraceful that the Mayor of the City of Glou cester attended for the purpose of preserving the pence, but without effect; That upwards of one hundred freeholders were thereby prevented from polling, many others who wore not freeholders were permitted to poll, and taunt who were, and many who were not, freeholders, polled at different booths several times, so that the sense of the freeholders of the County is unknown upon such occasions. That it appears by the poll-books, that no less than 6,403 persons polled at the said Election, of whom your Pe titioners verily believe upwind, of 1,000 at least had no right to vote. That it is the intention of your Petitioners to petition the Government, on its assembling, for an Act to limit the Elections of Coroners for Counties to such persons who shall be Justices of the Peace acting in the respective Counties. Your Petitioners therefore pray that your Lordship will not accept the return of the Writ of Election lately sent into the County of Gloucester, and that no further writ be Issued for the election of a Coroner for the said County until the pleasure of Parliament be known. In compliance with a Circular issued from the Home De partment on the 31st ult. returns having just been made from the several parishes in this city of the houses or houses and land rated to the amount of 101. or upwards upon the poor rates, the total number of which amount to 455. In addition to these, however, it may be stated, that there are upwards of five hundred houses which pay a rent of up wards of 101. but which, of course, do not stand at that amount upon the rates, the general average of the rates be ing about oae-Mird of the actual rack-rent. We last week noticed in such terms as the facts seemed to us to meet, the very extraordinary proceeding of certain officers of Excise, stationed in this town. We shall not now pause to enquire, as our Cotemporary has done, whether Coach Proprietors have or have not the power of refusing to forward any packers sent to their office—or whether they dare to open or examine the contents of such packages ; not only because it must be obvious to the meanes t capacity that the Kist of the question does not depend upon any such points: but also, because we maintain that the Coach Pro prietors cannot, by any possibility be Inculpated in any part sd the transaction. COACH ACCIDINT.....OO Friday last, the mail coach was overturned at Amney, near Cirencester, owing to the reins breaking. The horses started at full speed. Mr. Habgood of Cirencester, draper, who was outside, was very much hurt, but we are happy to say he is likely to do well. Mr. Habgood and hlr. Warner, surgeon, were conveyed Into Cl. ftneesier in Mr. Blackwell's carriage. Several other pas stngers were hurt but not materially. It is too much the practice, as it was on this occasion, to put young and restive horses into the coaches, thereby endangering the lives of the passengers. Shakier,' Fountain Pump Fascists claims to an universal application in the following striking points :- 1. That the economy in original cost of the Fountain Pump, in its manufacture, averages about 40 per cent. less than that of the pump en the old plan. 2. That the quantity of water raised by the Fountain Pump, is nearly double that which can be delivered in the use of the pump on the old plan, allowing the same moving power to each. FATAL Ocrictioa.—On Tuesday last, an inquest was taken at the Dog, at Over, near this city, before John Cooke, Esq. Coroner, on vie* of the body of James Terrett, who met with his death under the following melancholy circum stances. It appeared in evidence, that a party of freehold. en were starting by coach on their return home from the election of a Coroner ; and that several persons who were not voters, and did not belong to the company, intruded themselves on the coach. On their arrival at the Dog, at Over, Mr. Dl. Bennett insisted on the strangers leaving the coach. One of them, named Thomas Wintle, objected, when Mr. B. took hold of him by the coat, and he was re. moved, but without any great violence. Wiotle then wanted to pull Bennett off, and attempted to take bold of his leg, and the latter, in endeavouring to revent Wintle laying hold of him, kicked him on the bad. Winds then went to a heap of stones by the road aide, picked up a quantity, and threw them at the passengers on the coach ; he followed the coach a considerable distance, and continued throwing, though repeatedly cautioned not to do so. One passenger was struck on the head, and was seriously hurt; another, the deceased, received a blow on the neck, and immediate l y fell back s e n s eles s . A er then got off, and p ursued Winds for some distance, who pulled out his knife, and swore he would kill him; be was, however, knocked down with a stick and secured. A surgeon, who examined the head of the deceased, was of opinion, his death was occa s'oned by the blow under the ear, which ruptured the left internal jugular vein. After a very patient investigation, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Thos. Wintle. The offender, however, has for the pressot, evaded the power of the law. having contrived to e#set his from the constable of English Bickner. in whose ash= had been placed. The spirit of inceudisziam has not yet been subdued In, Hampshire. A barn, containing about five loads of wheat, was wilfully set on fire en the night of Saturday last, at Soberton, near Bishop's Waltham, an d entirely consumed. Some unhappy differences between the boners and the agri. cultural labourers have lately occurred in the parish,and one of the latter has been apprehended on suspicion of being the incendiary.—Hampshire Chronicle.

STRIKE AMONG TNR, AGRICULTURAL Lasonatas AT WEST LATINGTOXr—About fifty able-bodied labour ers—in the employ of four farmers of the parish of West Lavington, refused to work on Monday last, in consequence of their employers. on the previous Saturday, reducing their wages from nine to eight shillings per week. The men came in a body to Devises, en Monday morning, for the purpose of appealing to the Magistrates; but unfortunately every magistrate of the division (with the exception of one) was from home. On Tuesday the men were again in De vises, at an early hour in the morning ; at noon, the ma. gistrates (Mr. Scott and Mr. Ludlow) who had been sit ting in petty sessions, sent for one of them ; and accordingly a stout brawny man (who conducted himself with the great est propriety,) soon made his appearance. He stated that his master, and other farmers in West Lavington, bad for some time past paid their Labourers nine shillings a week, but that on Saturday last, without any previous notice, the refused to give more than Bs. for that week's work, which they said was to be the future rate of wages ; that the labour en in consequence felt dissatisfied, and refused to work.— For himself, be said, lie had a wife and seven children, and that a reduction of one shilling out of nine, was a hardship not easily to be borne. He spoke of the general kindness of his master, (Mr. Sainsbnry) and also of the overseer; but he would leave it to any labourer with wham, or to any master for whom, he had ever worked, whether he did not labour hard, and fare harder ; from the beginning to the end of the week—aye, from the beginning to the end of the year, (said the poor fellow) I never take into the field more than a bit ofdry bread for my dinner ; there is not now the smallest quantity of victuals in my house. Notwithstanding,—he and his fellow labourers were greatly dissatisfied, he said they wished to act peaceably. They would be content with a week, and he trusted that through the magistrates, the farmers would be induced to continue that rate of wages.— Nothing could exceed the conduct of this man ; and the magistrates themselves appeared to enter into his feelings, and to think that 9s. a week was not • farthing too much for the labour of an able-bodied man; they, however, justly observeJ, that they had no power whatever to in terfere ; they recommended the men to return to their work, and take task work instead of day work. This, however, the man with seven children said would not be better, for all descriptions of work was lowered. A gentleman present observed, that the farmers complained of were obliged to lower the wages of their labourers, in consequence of their landlord advancing their rents. The magistrates could scarcely credit the assertion, that any landlord would, in times like the present, advance his rents ; and were perfectly astounded, when it was positively stated that Lord Churchill. at his recent audit, advanced the rents of his te nants at West Lavington ten per cent. It was further stated, that the produce of the farms of these tenants during the last year, did not by some considerable sum pay the ren tal ; and that they expected a reduction Instead of an ad vance. The man with seven children observed—the fact was, that lord Churchill took off ten per cent. at a fawner audit,in order that his tenants might raise the wages of their labourers, from seven to ten shillings a week; but as the tenants had not done this, his Lordship again laid on the ten per cent. We have been informed, however, by a very respectable farmer that the advance the tenants did make in the wages of t heir labourers, far more than counterba lanced the reduction his Lordship made in the rentals ;• and that it is impossible the farmers can, for any length of time pay even eight shillings a week, without some considerable abatement in rent.-,Devises &m/d& CHEILIOIIIIIO RZGATTAW.II last year noticed the handsome present of two gold cups by the inhabitants of Cherbourg to the Royal Yacht Club of Engbuld, to be sailed for by the yachts of this Club, and mentioned the muse of the match not then taking place. At the general meeting of members last month, the thanks of the Club were voted to the spirited people of Cherbourg, and it was decided that . the .mmodure, Lewd Yeabotough, should sail from Cowes on the 24th of August, together with all the yachts that may be able to make it convenient to accompany bine, and that the Regatta shall take place the day after their arrival at ()Wooers, or as soon as the necessary arrangements can be A. we believe any weds may enter the roads milkiest being subject to harbour does or port charges, we bow as doubt there will be a numerous assemblage of plea. mins mods to witness the contest.

Oa Friday last, the rural village of Tilahead, Wilts, was the scene of unusual gaiety and animation, in consequence of a fete chaaspare, on a magnificent and extensive scale, being given to about MO of the principal inhabitants of that place and neighbourhood, by a gentleman, a Whig of the old school, to commemorate the prospect of a specty reform In the Commons House of Parliament. A commodious tent was erected for the occasion in a most romantic spot, taste fully decorated with evergreens and rare exotics. and several banners, bearing appropriate inscriptions; and from a mound adjoining, a splendid flag, 200 feet high, was raised, with " The King and Reform," the pole of which was entwined with garlands of flowers. Two excellent bands of music were stationed at convenient distances, and at intervals played delightfully ; and cannon were fired every 15 minutes. At four o'clock the company assembled, and shortly after sat down to a sumptuous repast. A life buoy end messenger, invented by Mr. Langridge, Clerk of the Peace far the county of Sussex, has been this week inspected by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, and so much approved of, that they have sent a highly complimentary letter to Mr. Langritlge, giving directions fur a trial to be made.
