The population of the borough and parish in 1851, was 5,214; number of houses, 1,185, of which I ,120 were inhabited; acreage, 1,284 i that of the borough proper being 784, with a population of 4, 199. The town was incorporated by ancient charter of Queen Mary; and as early as the year 129b, returned mernberil to represent it in parliament. The present corporation consists of a mayor, four aldermen, and 12 common couutihnen. The boron~h ma~istrules (>;i.¥ in JllllUber) h<H'C . National School, Thomas Thompson, master; :3Irs.

A county court is held once a month, on Moudays. There are commissioners for paving, lighting, und improving the town, who hold meetings q1.1arterly, or oftener if required. There is a bo1·ough court of record having jurisdiction in cases amounting to £100, formerly held before two capital burgesses, afterwards before the recorder, and still later before a jud~e appointed under the authority of farliamen t ; but the office of Judge is now vacant, and si,nce the county courts have been established, this court has gone into disuse-the last court havin!l been holden before Thomas Davies, Esq., the Judge, on October 18t)l, 18.52. 1'he manor of Leominster is vested in John Arkwrifil:ht, Esq., of Hampton Court, near the tawn, the present lord. 'l'he Town-hail is a handsome new structure, just completed from q desi~n of James Craustone, Esq., of Birmingham, It is a brick building in a mixed style of Italian architecture, having door and window dressings, pilasters, cornices, &c., of Bath and Grinsel stone, with ~frontage of nearly 50 feet, and about 160 feet in Jeugth. ln the t~nl}t a1·e the main entrauae gat!:'s, and two sidt> urchcd rntrancrs, the latt!~1· }t>IJ.ding to the council l)n<l

In the main body of the building over t.he entrance, i.s the council chamber, a handsome room of 45 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 20 feet high; and further ou are rooms for the trans· action of magisterhtl and other business, rHiring rooms, &c. Over the council chamber rises a lofty cupola and clock turret, in which is fixed a handsome and expensive clock, havinf?' four dials visible from many parts of the town, the \'\'hole being surmoun1ed by a vane, &c., at a height of about 70 feet from the pavement. Underneath the building are dry and spacious cellars, capable of stowing away very large quantities of produce and merchandise. Tile entire building has just been erected at a cost of near £31000; Mr. Joseph Poulton, of Leominster, having contracted for the erection of the building, ex:.c1u,- sive of the ironwork; and Mr. J. E. Hodgkin, of Suffolk Works, Birmingham, having taken the irouwork at a cost of nearly £900, The Butter Cross is an ancient huildiog, erected .in 1633 by John A bel, the greatest architect of his day, who built the Town-hall at Hereford and several other markethouses in this and the adjoining counties, and who was afterwards honoured b~ King Charles I. with the title of '' King's Carpenter." It is a wooden structure, supported by twelve oak pillars of the ol~ Ionlc order, with arches, spandrils, brackets, heads, and other ormimental carved work, aml appropriate inscriptions in Latin and English, having spacious rooms over for the transaction of public business. This building is exhibited in detail, at considerab1e length, in" Clayton'~ Ancient Timber Edifices of England," and is there described as being, ''witbout doubt, the most interesting buildiug of the kind in the kingdom." This beautiful example of Elizabethan timbe1·-work was in a high state of preservation, considering it had stood the blast of 222 winters; it has been recently pulled down to give effect to the new Town-hall, up ngainst the entrance-gate of which it had stood for the above period. It is now about to be re-erected. The Savings Bank is a neat detached lmilding, situate in Burgess-street, recently erected of brick, with Bath stone dressings, and a neat iron railing in front. A. l'lCW chapel, called the Town and County Mission Room, was opened about i855. It is a neat brick edifice, with Bath stone dressings; situated in Etnam-street. Tbe National school for boys is held in the ancient chapel of Le Forbury, and about 60 scholars are generally on the books. The National school for ~irls and the Infant school are both held at the Priory; the former numbers about 100, and the latter about 80 scholars. The British and Foreign school for boys, in South-street, has been open between two and three years; the number educated here is nearly 100. There is also a Girls' school in the Marsh, supported chiefly by the aid of the Society of Friends, where about 80 or lOO scholars usually attend. There are several reading-rooms aud book societies upon a small scale, a subscription and several circulating libral'ies, and a young men's mutual improvement society. There are also flourishing agricultural and horticultural associations, the former holding an annwil exhibition in October,. and the latter having three shows during the season; a cricket club, philharmonic society, angling association, and other institutions of a similar character, are also in existence; and harriers, otter hounds, &c., are kept in the neighbourhood. • There are no manufactures of any consequence; but the town being situate in the midst of a most luxuriant and fertile district, abounding with orchards, hop-gardens, and fruitful valleys producing large quantities of corn, timber, wool, bark, cider, and other inland produce, and breeding and feeding large quantities of cattle, sheep, &c., there is u, considerl}ble amount of traffic carried on in th£>se pro· ducts, and large quantities thereof are constantly being seut off by rail to the consuming districts. There are, lJOwever, a few trades carriel} on to a cousitlerable extent, such as the tanning and dressing of leather, woolstapling, malting, brickmaking, weavin~dlannel, and glove rnaldng; and thei:e are several corn-mills, a printing-ink mill and manufactory, gas works, &c. There are three rivers running through the town (Lugg, Pinsley, and Kenwater), besides the river A.rrow and oth~r streams in the immediate vicinity. The market day is Friday, with a smaller butter and poultry market held for the convenience of the town on Tuesdays. The fairs are held on February 13th, Tuesday after Mid Lent Sunday, May 2nd, June 29th, July lOth, September 4th, October 17th, and November 8th. There is also a great market held on the first Friday after December 11th, called '' the great matket before Christmas," and on the firRt Friday in every month. The corporation has recently. obtained an Act of Parliament for the better regulation of their markets and fairs, by which many important privileges are conferred; and the new market premises just opened in the •Cen tre of the town, ufford ample accommodation for the stowage and sale of commodities of every description. The town is undoubtedly of great antiquity; for in the year 658 Merwald King of Mercia built a monastery here for religious virgins, and endowed it with all the lands about the town. In 777 a great part of the town, with the nunnery, was destroyed by the Ancient Britons. In lO.J5 the town appears to have been fortified, and to have taken part in the wars at that time carried on against the Welsh, after which a garrison was put here by cnmmaud of King Harold. In the reign of King John the town suftered much by the incursions of William df! llraos, lord of llreckpock, who, about the year 1201, in the absence of the troops from this town, burst into it with great impetuosity, took possessio~,t of its extensive works and the inhabitants, and plundered anrl burnt the priory, together with the greatest part of the beautiful Gothic church, and reduced the town to a heap of ruins. It was afterwards rebutlt, but suffered many subsequent misfortunes during the baronial wars. ~n the iime of Henry IV. it was in possession of Owen Glendower after he defeated the Earl of March; and the priory was by this prince greatly despoiled, and the revenues of jts territorial possessions appropriated to his own use. In 1539 the ancient priory of Leominster, which was the greatest of the kind in England, having larger revenues than some abbeys, was dissolved, John Glover being the last prior; and the manor belonging to the priory, with its appendages, was transferred to the Crown, its courts were abolished, and the inhabitant11 subjected to the control ofthe Lords Marchers. Shortly after this event the inhabitants of Leominster in large numbers supported the interests of the Princess Mary against those ofthe Lady Jane Grey, and effectively defeated the Protestant party, who had taken possessif)n of the old British entrenchments at Cursneli Hill, on the banks of the Piusley, killing nearly the whole of them in open combat, and summarily executing the few who survived the contest. This blow was thought by Mary to b<> of such importance to her cau~e that she heaped iudividual honours and preferments on those who were instrumental in obtaining the victory, und granted to the inhabitants in f!ene1·al their first Charter of Incorpor,ttion, dated 28th March, 1553, by which charter the Court of Record was established, power was given to have a separate court of quarter sessions, a gaol, coroner, certain markets, annual fairs and many other privileges ; and the cor1)oration were directed for ever to mailltain a Free Grammar schnol out of the lands and hereditament.s thereby granted unto them. The town at the present time is clean and neat in appearance, and many of the streets are very spacious; it is well JJaved and lighted with gas; the shops are large and modern, and abound in all the necessaries and luxuries of life; many of the houses are of modern erection, and display architectural features of no mean order; there are also some fine specimens of timber-built houses, with grotesquely carved brackets, beads, gable boards, &t>. some in good preservation, and many fast ha!!'ter.iug to decay, and givin~ place to more modern ere<'- tions. There were formerly annual rares lteld h<>re, whit·h wt're well supportt>d until tl1e cons!ruetiou, a

On the east is the organ, a fine instrument, with the altar and communion-tablC', at which are full length figures of Moses and Aaron, and a fine painting of "The Lord's Supper," after Rubens. There are several marble monuments, to the memory of Admiral Brace and otheri!, erected within the church; and at the west end is a beautiful carved font, presented a few years ago by tbe Rev. W. E.

[HEREFORD.] ROSS. 84 POST OFFICE The church, dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, stands on an eminence on the south-west of the town. 1'he part of the churchyard on the north of the church is more or less encompassed by buildings; but that on the south is planted with noble elms, and commands a beautiful and extensive view. In its north·east corner stands an old stone cross, which commemorates a visitation of the Plague under which the parish suffered in the year 1637. The church itself is a spacious building, of irregular shape, and built at various periods during the prevalence of the middle and third pointed styles. It consists of a nave, one north and two south aisles, chancel, and north and south porches. But the great glory of the building is its tower and spire, which, rising to the height of 208 feet, is conspicuous for a great di~tl:mce ; and from the elegance of its proportions and the commanding beauty of its situation, well deserves the honour of having suggested that well known Jineof Pope, in which l1e describesitas- "With silent finger pointing to the skies." At the east end of the principal south aisle there is an interesting series of monuments to members of the families of Rudhall and Westfaling, long settled at the ancient mansion of Rudhall in this parish, but now extinct. But in the chancel, just within the rails of the Communion Table, there is a plain flat tombstone, still more worthy the attention of the stranger; for under that stone lies John Kyrle, ''the Man of Ross :" against the wall, close by, is an elaborate marble monument to his memory, erected in tl•e year 1766. The church contains a curiosity of a totally niiTereut Idnd: at the east end of the north ai;;le thP.re are three elm-trees, two of them of considerable height, which liv(', and seem to thrive, in that strange atmosphere. In the churchyard, not far from the north door, are the tombs of two great benefactors to Ross, Waiter Scot, "the grateful restorer of the Blue Coat school;" and J ames Baker, who left by will £20,000, the interest of which is devoted to the relief of the poor inhabitants of the parish. Over the south porch is a parvis which serves as a room for holding vestry meetings in. The living is a rectory worth £1,284 yearly, in the gift of the Bishop of Hereford; the Rev. Charles A ttmore Ogihtie, n.D., is the incumbent; and the Rev. Thomas West, M.A., and the :Rev. 'J'homas Woodhouse, B. A., are curates. The Dean and Precentor of Hereford cathedral are endowed with two-thirds of a large portion of the gt·eat tithes of Ross; the other tithes belong to the rector, who has also a manor of divers messuages, lands, and tenements in the capital manors of Ross borough and foreign, with chief rents amounting to 40s. yearly, besides offerings. There are chapels for Baptists, Independents, Plymouth Brethren, Society of Friends, and Wesleyans. The Market-house is a:quaint old oblong brtilding, supported upon pi11ars; at the east end there is a bust of Charles II.; it is in the centre of the town,! and has a small square clock-tower with clock and four dialR; the upper part of the building is U!led as a Town-hall. The town has about 14 streets, the principal of which ; are High-street, Broad-street, Brookend-street, St. Mary's-strect, Corps Cro~s-street, and the Market-place. The town stands on a rocky eminence overlooking the Wye, and from the opposite bank of the river the view is most pictnrc'sq ue: above the town, on an elevated ridge of rock, stands the church; the town occupies the rising ground, and the Penyard and other hills dose the scene beyond. This town has been immortalised by Pope in his wellknown theme, " The Man of Ross." The su bjrct of this beautiful eulogium, Mr. John Kyrle, was born ~2nd May, 16:17, at the Wkite House, in the parish of Dymock, 8 miles from Ross. After graduating at Baliol College, Oxford (at which place a piece of plate presented by him is still shown), be came to rt'side at Ross, where for many years hi;~ life was one conrse of active and disinterested benevolence. He died November llth, 1724. Amoag the many mementos of Mr. Kyrle with which the neighbourhood of the town abound~, may be nt('ntioned the public walk which bears his name, and The Prospect near the church, which was left by him to the inhabitants of RI)AS for 500 vears-the term of the lease. From this • spot the view of the river and the surrounding country is enchanting, and the beautiful horse-shoe form in which the river flows beneath the tows, is very striking. In the centre of the meadow are still standing the remains of a gig-antic oak-tree, which, it is said, once stood on the edge of the strcam,-and from the very visible addition which has been made to this meadow within the last few years~ there is no doubt but such was the case. Ft·om some records preserved in the town, it would appt'ar that this tree is upwardii of 1,100 years old. A great portion of the remains of this tree was destroyed by fire in 185!. Salmon are canght in the Wye. 'I' he charities are very valuable; in addition to those of Waiter Scott and James Baker, there are- Rudhall's Hospital, in Church-lane, for five poor men or women, with an allowance of 30s. per annum to each; Webbe's Hospital, in Corps Cross-street, for seven poor men or women, with an allowanr(' of 5 shillings a week to each; Perrock's Hospital, on Dean-hill, for four poor men or women, with a small allowance to each inmate; Markey's Almshousrs, in Trenchard-street, for six poor men or women; Pye's A lmshouses, near the One l\1ill, for four poor men and women, lately endowed with an allowance of 4 shillings a week to each inmate by the munificence of 1\'1 r.
