The city has long been famous for its extensive manufactures; changing, with circumstances, the species of manufacture, but always largely producing and excelling in some one. It is, at the present time, the chief factory of ribbons in England, there being not a less number than 7,000 hands usually employed in it in the town alone, and nearly as many more within its small county; and more watches are said to be made in Coventry than are made in London itself. It is divided into ten wards; and it is governed now by a mayor, ten aldermen, and twenty common-councilmen. It has returned two members to parliament ever since the reign of Edw. I.; the right of election being in the freemen, having served in some trade, within the city or its sub. urbs: the number of voters is about 3,000. It consists of the two parishes of Holy-Trinity, and St. John-the-Baptist and St. Michael. Their whole population, including that part which extends beyond the city, amounts 22,147, but that of the city itself is only 21,242.
