Hunt, who was found guilty of having been concerned with John Thurtell in the murder of Weare, died on his passage to New South Wales.- Dublin paper.

A farmer in Pulford lately noticed a thrush's nest, with several young ones: some merciless boys took the whole of them, and the old one was observed hovering round the nest after the young ones were taken, and she shewed that she was inconsolable for the loss of her nestlings; in the morning early she was found dead in the nest.

Winchester,
Saturday, April 23.

The Hampshire Hunt Races, which took place yesterday se'nnight, on Worthy Down, afforded excellent sport. The elegant H.H. Cup value 100gs. was won by the Hon. W. Gage's horse Gimlet, beating Mr.Villebois's Veteran, by Blucher, on whom the betting at starting was 10 to 1. The next race was a Sweepstakes of 5gs. each, 12 Subscribers- gentlemen riders- in which much scientific jockeyship was displayed. It was won, after a severe contest, by a neck, by, Mr Molony's mare, Madge Wildfire, rode by the owner. A match for 50gs. two miles- Mr.Sawbridge's Justice, rode by Capt.Bridges, beat Mr.Graeme's Rodney, rode by Capt.Price, 12 stone each.- The H.H. dinner at the George Inn, was attended by 50 gentlemen, who sat down to an elegant banquet, provided by Mrs.Ashcombe. The Ball at St.John's House in the evening, was elegantly and fashionably attended. The supper, provided by Mr.Staning, of the White Hart. gave the highest satisfaction.

HANTS EASTER SESSlONS,- Nelson and others v. the Overseers of Stockbridge.-- This was an appeal against the appointment of Mr.Attwood and Mr.Evans as Overseers of Stockbridge. It may be recollected that about twelve months since a similar case was heard, when the appeal was dismissed. In the present instance it appeared that, at a parish meeting, held on the 30th ult. a list of persons eligible to serve the office had been prepared, at the head of which stood the names of Messrs.Attwood and Evans: and a counter-list was proposed, which was out-voted in the vestry, and the former one carried. In about two hours after the meeting was dissolved, the appointment was signed by two Magistrates, at Rookley House. The appellants, not knowing where it was intended to get the appointment confirmed, were thereby prevented from urging their objections, and they now appealed against the appointment, denying its validity. The case having been ably argued by Counsel, the Chairman, (George Eyre, Esq.) observed, that he thought the Court should wholly throw out of their view the motives which might have brought this cause before them. They were to see if the parties applying had grounds for their complaint, and if the law authorized the Court to redress it. It did appear to him that this complaint was founded, because, from the course pursued by the parish officers of Stockbridge, the parishioners had not been afforded opportunity to state to the Magistrates before whom the appointment of overseers was confirmed, any objections they might have to the persons nominated, the vestry; and the Magistrates were deprived of the discretion the law vested in them. Under these circumstances - the statute authorising parties thinking themselves so aggrieved to apply to the Sessions - he thought that the applicants had made out their case, and consequently that the appointment should be quashed, which was ordered, subject to a special case, reserved for the consideration of the Court of King's Bench, applied for by Mr.Carter on the part of the respondents.

On Thursday last a general meeting of "the Hants Sunday School Union" was held at the Crown Inn, Basingstoke; the Rev. Thomas Atkins, of Southampton, in the chair. At seven o'clock a highly respectable company, consisting of nearly eighty ladies and gentlemen, sat down to a public breakfast, after which the chairman called on the Rev. Richard Ayliffe, one of the secretaries, to read the report of the society. It contained a statement of the progress of the Sunday School system both at home and abroad; and among a variety of interesting facts, it stated that fifty thousand children, the major part heathen, are now being taught in the various schools established by Protestants in India; and that in the United States a national institution has just been formed, called - "The American Sunday School Union," connected with which are 723 schools, 7,337 teachers, and 48,681 scholars. In the schools belonging to "the Hibernian Society," and "the Sunday School Society for Ireland," are 12,578 teachers and 174,389 children. In reference to Ireland, it was observed that the apparent greatness of the number taught is pleasing; but its disproportion to the population of the country truly appalling. The proportion which, the scholars attending these schools bears to the population in the four provinces is only as one to forty-four, and to that in the province of Munster, which includes unhappy Limeric, it is only as one to three hundred and fifty-four. The system, however, is rapid in its progress, and all over the globe the omens are propitious. In Great Britain and Ireland alone nearly seventy-five thousand teachers are now engaged in the instruction of about eight hundred and twelve thousand three hundred and five children.
The resolutions carried at this meeting were moved and seconded by the Rev.Messrs. Adams, Ayliffe, Binney, Ford, Griffin, Howell, Stamper, and Wills; James Fenton, Erasmus Jackson, William Jones, James Sharp, and Samuel Toomer, Esqrs. For the benefit of the Union, a handsome collection was made at the door, and the company departed very highly gratified with the intelligence received, and more fully convinced that Sunday Schools are invaluable blessings, and that the best friends of the rising generation and of the world at large, are those who are strenuous supporters of these institutions.

On Thursday se'nnight was married at Chilbolton, by the Rev.- Durnford, Mr. John Permain, of Sutton Scotney, to Mary Pain Smith, of the former place.
Married on Sunday the 17th inst. at Sherfield, near Basingstoke, Mr.W. Webb, veterinary surgeon, to Miss Menefy, both of Andover.
On Wednesday last died at Chewlon House, in this county, Charles Campbell, Esq. a Captain in the Royal Navy, and youngest and last surviving brother of the late Lord Cawdor.
A few days since died at Shipton on Stour, Worcestershire, Francis Findon, Esq. father of Mr.Findon, of this city.
On Saturday the 16th instant died at an advanced age, Mr. William Gradidge, sen. of this city.

This neighbourhood has of late been subject to a most annoying system of depredation. Several nursery and private garden grounds have been despoiled of property; and within these few nights' several young ornamental trees were taken out of a plantation near the city. From the systematic manner this wanton species of robbery is committed, it is evident that the depredators are proficients at the business. Hopes, however, are entertained, from the precautionary steps now taken by the individuals injured, and from the liberal rewards offered, (amounting to nearly �100.), that these handy craftsmen may be soon known to the public, and that their dexterous transplanting abilities may meet appropriate reward.

On Tuesday last, as John Bagshot, of Christchurch, was returning from Poole, in attempting incautiously to get on the shafts of a cart, which was heavily laden, he fell, and the wheel passed over his arm, and caused a compound fracture.

A great deal has been said and written about St.Beavis of Southampton, and his giant page, Iscapar, and the existence of these personages has been treated as a fable, although their effigies are placed at the bar-gate. Yet we are informed, from a source entitled to some credit, that at the time General Stibert was proprietor of Beavis Hill, a skeleton was found at the above place, by James Landy, who is now upwards of 100 years of age, the head of which skeleton was described, as being four times the usual size, and the body proportioned.

Salisbury,
Monday, April 25, 1825.

His Majesty's birth-day was celebrated in this city on Saturday last in a manner worthy of the inhabitants of this ancient and loyal city. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and in the afternoon a large party, consisting of upwards of 50 gentlemen dined at the Council Chamber. The dinner on this occasion, at which our worthy Mayor presided, was provided by Mr. Harrington. It is needless to add that it gave satisfaction to all who partook of it. After the cloth was removed, his Majesty's health was drunk with four times four. To this toast succeeded "The Duke of York and the Army," "The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," and'" His Majesty's Ministers," All these toasts were drunk with enthusiasm. To these succeeded many local toasts, amongst which may be noticed, "Our worthy Mayor and his Lady," "The Recorder of the City," "The Recorder of the Close," "The Chamberlain of the City," "The Rev. Mr. Greenly," "Lord Arundel and the Salisbury Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry," "The Town Clerk of the City," "Success to the Silk Manufactory," &c. &c. In the course of the evening many songs were sung; and on this occasion, our old favourite Harrington might be said almost to outdo himself. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout the evening, and the company did not break up till a late hour, and then unwillingly.

Our readers will see in another part of this page the copy of a Petition to the House of Lords, from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Wilts, against the claims of the Roman Catholics.

A few days since, Christopher Ingram, Esq. of Upton Lovell, paid to the Treasurer of the Salisbury Infirmary, in full, without deduction of legacy duty, the sum of �100. bequeathed by his late father to that excellent institution.

Amateurs. or the drama will be presented with a high treat this evening at our theatre, in the representation of that excellent comedy, The Soldier's Daughter, wherein the part of the Widow Cheerly will be sustained by Miss Huddart, a character admirably adapted to elicit the captivating talents of this young lady; and as to the principal male character of the piece, we would ask, fearless of comparison, what actor on the British stage can give a finer portraiture of Governor Heartall than our worthy manager, Mr. Penson ? The comedy will be succeeded by a new, and, we understand, most beautiful melo drama, called The Floating Beacon.
The performances of this evening are for the benefit of Mr.John Penson, whose merits have deservedly made him a favourite of the public .- Mr.Jones, an actor possessing talents of a very superior description, takes his benefit on Wednesday, and we doubt not but he will perform the character of Sir Giles Overreach with great effect.- Mr.Marston, a young performer of very promising abilities, takes his benefit on Friday.
The following tribute to the talents of Mr.Grant, late of our theatre, and now performing at the Haymarket in the name of Clarkson, is copied from the Courier paper of Friday :
"HAYMARKET THEATRE.- Last night the comedy of Every one has his Fault was performed at this theatre with great effect. A Mr.Clarkson made his first appearance on the London boards, in the part of Captain Irwin, and a more promising or gratifying debut we have rarely witnessed. Mr.Clarkson is evidently possessed or sound judgment and correct discrimination, and he cannot fail proving a powerful acquisition to the London theatre. He was warmly and deservedly applauded throughout."

Her loss will be long and sincerely lamented, not only by her family, but. by a numerous circle of acquaintance. She was a cheerful and entertaining companion.
