LEICESTERSHIRE. One of the most elegantly-drawn petitions which we remember to have seen, was resolved to be presented to Parliament in favour of Peace, at a numerous meeting late held at Leicester, in which presided JoHN COLTMAN, esq. an eminent manufacturer of that town. We wish we had room to give it entire, but we recommend it to general notice and imitation. The inhabitants of Leicestershire, if we may judge from the remarks in the papers of their county, seem not a little proud of the increase of their population; which, by the returns, amounts in the last ten years to 20,338! As Mr. Pottifer's waggon was lately passing, at seven o'clock in the evening, on the road in the parish of Ruddington, from Nottingham to Leicester, the waggoner, Thomas Hensor, was assailed by some ruffians, who beat him about the head till his eyes literally flew out of their sockets! and he died on the spot. A woman in the waggon gave the alarm to the passengers in a coach, which came by at the time, and thereby probably saved her own life, and prevented the waggon from being robbed. The murderers have hitherto escaped detection. Married.] At Leicester, Mr. Bazley, to Miss Holmes.-Mr. W. Richards, to Miss Mary Reeve, all of Leicester.-Mr. Brown, to Miss Clark.-Mr. J. W.

A meeting of the Freeholders of Oxfordshire took place at the Town-hall, Oxford, on Oct. 2. Mr. Coker moved a petition against the Catholic Claims, which was seconded by Mr. Ashurst, and supported by Mr. Lockhart; after some observations and propositions, by Mr. Stratton, seconded by Lord F. A. Spencer, Mr. B. Mostyn, Col. Curzon, and Sir. J. Throckmorton, who seve rally opposed the motion,which was ultimately carried. The same question was agitated in the University, on Nov. 12th, when petitions to both houses of Parliament, in opposition to the claims of their Catholic fellow-subjects, were severally read, and, though not without a strong contest, finally carried. On this subject the intelligent Editor of the Oxford Herald, makes the following remarks. "In consequence of the interest naturally felt on this subject, by a body professedly ecclesiastical, the house was more usually crowded. It was presumed, (how strangely presumed !!!) by some of the opposition, that the question of political expediency was on their side, because it had met with the concurrent approbation of the greater statesmien of the present day. But what are the opinions of those statesmen, when opposed to those of the resident members of our learned body? What are the names of Pitt, of Burke, of Windham, of Sheridan, of Fox, or of the Chancellor of * Resides animos, desuetaque corda,VIRG. Oxford, compared with those of persons, who, in consequence of the leisure they enjoy, and the local advantages of academical establishment, may fairly be supposed to possess facts, and to discern arguments which were not likely to have fallen under the observations of those able, but less unbiassed, men? Public characters, perhaps, are not the fittest to decide on ecclesiastical matters. These should be left to churchmen. To suppose that personal interest can have any weight in forming their decisions, would be the extreme of injustice. And if any proof were wanting of the charity and forbearance with which Universities are wont to contemplate differ ence of opinion in civil or ecclesiastical matters, we refer to the temperate tone and unprejudiced anxiety expressed in the present petition. The minority was larger than was ever known on a similar occasion!! Married.] At Alkerton, the Rev. J. C. Townsend, rector of that parish, to Miss Young.

The stupendous weathercock on Chicester Cathedral, which, from not having traversed of late, the Dean and Chapter contemplated to take down, was removed round by the late gales, and it has traversed very well ever since.
