REPRESENTATION of SOUTH
WARWICKSHIRE.
WARWICK, MONDAY EVENING.—As `vas anticipated, Mr.
Bolton King has, for the present, withdrawn his pretensions
to represent the county, and the friends of Lord Brooke are
now in undisputed possession of the field. This morning Mr.
King issued the following address
"TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF TIIE
COUNTY OF WARWICK..
" Gentlemen,—Since I published my address to you on
Saturday Lord Brooke has become a candidate to represent
you in Parliament.
"Under these circumstances I now retire from the con-
test, having no wish to put my friends and the county gene-
rally to the trouble and excitement attending a contested
election on the present melancholy occasion; and being most
unwilling to tax the exertions of my friends, or to put Lord
Brooke to unnecessary trouble and expense, I think it better
at once to declare my determination, than to prolong the
canvass.
" To the many friends and electors who have promised me
their valuable support, I return my most grateful thanks.
"I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
"Oct. 6, 1845." "BOLTON KING.
It is presumed that Lord Brooke will accept the tender of
the vacant seat, and that no opposition will be offered to his
return. Mr. King, by his withdrawal, has exercised a dis-
cretion which, in all probability, will result in his election
upon the next vacancy.

WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.
The revision of the lists for this city commenced yesterday,
before D. C. Movlan, Esq., in the Vice-Chancellor's Court,
Westminster Hill. •
IMPORTANT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLUB-
Houns.—ln the parish of St. James, Mr. Vernon Harfurd
claimed in respect of an apartment attached to the Reform
Club.
Mr. Beck, the steward of the club, was examined by Mr.
Trott in support of the claim, and he stated that Mr. liar-
ford had occupied an apartment in the dormitory of the club
for four years, for which he paid 80/. a•year, and the dormi-
tories never let for a shorter period than twelve months.
Those who slept at the club had a private entrance at 105,
Pall-mall, by which no member except those who slept there
had access. The rent was paid to the witness, and by him to
the secretary.
By the BARRISTER-If these gentlemen go down into the
hall of 105, Pall-mall, they can get into the club-house, but
not otherwise.
Mr. Buzzard, the vestry clerk, stated to the Court, in
answer to a question, that the secretary of the club is rated
for the whole premises.
The Learned BARRISTER said, as these gentlemen appeared
to have exclusive entrance by the door of 105, Pall-mall, he
should allow the claim.
Mr. J. T. Tancred, M.P., and Mr. William Coffin also
claimed under precisely the same circumstances, and their
names were placed on the list of voters.
There are altogether twenty members who have seperate
apartments in the dormitories, but these were the only claims
made this year, and for the first time.
The lists of St. Anne, Soho, St. Clement's, St. Mary-le-
Strand, and the precinct of the Savoy, were gone through.
Mr. Trott applied that the overseers of the parish of St.
Clement should be fined for retaining names on the lists,
fourteen of whom had been expunged before, and six of them
three times ; and also because the lists of voters could not be
obtained in proper time.
The consideration of the question was deferred.
The result of the day's revision was as follows :—Conserva-
tive claims, allowed 4, disallowed 2 ; objections, allowed 36,
disallowed 5. Radical claims, allowed 3, disallowed 6 ; objec-
tions, allowed 38, disallowed 5.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The entertainments yes-
terday evening were intended to be for the benefit of Messrs.
Wardell and Holt, and a very attractive bill of fare was pre-
pared, including the balloon, tableaux vivans, &c. However,
Vauxhall's old enemy, the ruin, appearing in great force, all
out-of-door entertainments were prevented, and those of the
company who were not contented with what the weather per-
mitted got checks for Wednesday evening, which, to use the
words of a notice posted in the gardens, is, "wet or dry,"
to be the last night. Those who remained had ample enter-
tainment in the striking performances of Professor Keller and
his corps, who went through some of their most picturesque
pose's plastiques.
THE RATING OF CLERICAL STIPENDS TO TRH
POOR-It ATES. —Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held
in the vestry-room of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, to
take into consideration the application of the Rev. Mr. Hor-
ton, the Re,tor, to be relieved from having his stipend in
the lieu of tithes rated to the poor-rates. Mr. Hook, the
Rector's Warden, having been called to the chair, the Rev.
Mr. Horton said he was very sorry that he bad been under
the necessity of applying for a vestry to get their decision to
enable him to be relieved from the payment of poor-rates out
of his stipend, and he theseroadotrhethaaptplhicaadtieovnerupresonidedin

grounds:—he the first Recto
the parish ; for nineteen he had resided amongst them,
seven of which he bad been their rector; not a shilling was
laid out of the parish, while for a period of nineteen years
he had not been absent three months. Yet paying as he
did the utmost attention to his spiritual duties, he was the
only rector whose stipend had ever been rated. A long dis-
cussion ensued, in which various opinions were stated in
favour of and against the rating, the legality of which was
stated to be unquestionable. A motion was then proposed
by Mr. Palmer to the effect, that the vestry should instruct
the parish officers not to enforce the rate. This motion was
received with much opposition, and finally an amendment
was agreed to for adjourning the vestry sine die.

TROTTING.—Yesterday a match was decided at
Norwood, between a bay horse, belonging to Mr. Letchley,
and a cob, the property of Mr. Wales (sporting butchers, of
Lambeth) ; the contest was in harness, over three miles of
road, and the stakes 5/. aside. At the start the horse went
away at the lead, which he maintained the first mile, and
completing the distance in 3 min. 18 sec., and at the conclu-
sion of the second mile they were neck and neck, and
trotting at an easy pace, and covered the second mile in :sit
minutes; on the:commencement of the last mile, the horses
were pushed for an increased speed ; the bay horse then
broke to a gallop, and was pulled in. The cob then took
the lead, and maintained it to the end of the distance, and
won by 150 yards, accomplishing the three miles in 10
min. 16 sec.

EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—An inquest was held
yesterday afternoon, at the Free House, Clewer-lane, Wind-
sor, before W. Marlin, Esq., coroner for the borough, on the
body of a woman named Ann Garrawav, who met with her
death by falling backwards down stairs while in a state of
intoxication. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Holder-
ness, surgeon, of Windsor, who was in attendance shortly
after the accident occurred, that the deceased, whose skull
was fractured, died of concussion of the brain. The jury re-
turned a verdict accordingly.
His Royal Highness Prince George honoured the
Ist Life Guards with 11i3 company at dinner yesterday.
Among the company present were the HOD. Col. Cavendish,
