CELEBRATION OF TAE CITY UP NORWICH ELECTION. Oia Friday last shout 400 gentlemen dined ut the Asrembly-ronma, Norwich, to celebrate the return of William Smith and Richard llaithtiry Gurney, Furs. as Members for that city. There were three tables placed in the ball-room, and the same num ber iu the tea-room. At that in the centre of the former Mr. Smith took the chair, at the right-hand table Sir Thomas Bervor, and at the left William Foster, El.; in the tea-roan. R. H. Gurney, Esq. at the centre table, S. T. S.mthwell, Esq. and Anthony nod, ~,,, F.-q. at the ..th er tau. SAM after four o'clock the Menhirs entered the rooms, when the entemeny all ruee and commenced three minute of clapping hands. Before `five on ele gant 1111111 P, was served up. which was exceedingly well conducted. Olt the cloth being . reinoved, No* No6is Domine was sung, and during the evening many glees said songs were delightfully sung by the gentlemen present. The following toasts were given, and drunk with enthusiasm : " The Culminates of these realms, mid its Aral estate— the King." • "The Prince Regent, sad may he never forget the triumph of those principles which seated his family ou the Throne." " The Queen and Royal Family" " Civil rind Religious Liberty—may they be the portion .f all mankind" "The Navy, end thanks fur its put exertions • and Mae it ever be unmoral in the enlist of hastier and ats ' Coantry." " The Bishop of Harwieh."—Three limit' three. Archdeacon BATHUINT returned thanks fur the 'honour done. ii. father by drinking his health. "TIN High Sheriff." P Sir T. Berme sad our Friends is the County."—Three times three. Sir TROMAII returned drank., and gave— " Tim Members ter the Gin" which was drouk with throe times three. Mr. SJOTI rose, and after the ulna' acknowledg ments for the honour conferred on his colleague and hinted', in electing them, and for the farther sigmal sad gratifyiug mark of attachment given in the at tendance of a coMpany numerous mad respectable beyond all example on arty former ►imilar occa sion, Mr. Smith proceeded to say, that he would not consider their late victory as the mere triumph of a party, distingoished by whatever mune. He had had the heartfelt satisfaction of being re. ceived in the City with continually increasing fa vour on three previous occasions; but this was the first time for many years, that he had been able to give assurances u to future political conduct in the ilante of hod the Renresentatives; a eircom. stance which. jobbed with the deetsivc mxjo►ity by which it was produced, and by the similar feeling which had burst froth in many popular election., and above ell in the three great divisions of the metropolis, had wrought iu his mind the complete consietiou that more just and liberal ideas on the great and general principles of liberty, and the requisites of good government, were spreading throughout the cnnnt►y. On the mere appella. Cons of Whig or Tory he laid little stress. He had seen end known many moderate and upright Tories, sincerely desirous of the good of their coun try ; and ni.ny Whigs, within the last twenty-five years, who seemed almost to forget to what class of politicians they belonged; but still he thought there was an important difterence between the lead ing ideas of these two grand divisions. The motitn that government was instituted for the benefit of tl:e governed —not for riders, bat for the people —was clear, intelligible, and fruitful of impor. tant consequences; and, however cavilled at, by maxim would he abide. It was no objec t io n t o it. to say tiutt ►be governors were • pert of the nation. and therefore ought to lee considered ; while their interests coincided with those of the whole community, they would necessarily be bene fited by the general prosperity ; but the difficulty arose when their private interests became, as was too often the Mt, opposed to those of the public; and then, he scrupled not to say, they ought always to tie .i..uk 'lr yield. It also was of great conse quence in Religion, Morals, anti Politics, that men should have just principles; if then they erred, it was comparative, easy to declare them by appealing to the standard which they acknow ledged; whereas, if their very light war darkness, • the hope of their amendment was email indeed.— In the busineer of Reformation too, as applica ble to all, even the oast acknowledged abuses, from whom was it to be expected ? surely not from l i those who could see nothing wrong; and he would leave it to all mankind to determine, whether such persons were most frequently to be found among the professors of what is usually called Whiggism, or in the ranks of their opponents. But some of these opposers of all Reformation were actuated by a horror of revolutionary principles. Such persons, not generally over-accurate in their expre►sions, or even ideas, he would request to consider what they lucent by the phrase, and he apprehended they risiaht at last discover, that under the terra re►olu- Wintry. they were unwarily condemning revolution prisiciples—such as true Englishmen gloried in— such as had expelled a tyrannic dynasty. and placed the reigning family on the throne of Britain. Mr. S. went on at this time, anti in the course of the evening, to discuss other topics of great political interest. " A speedy mid radical Refo►m in the Reuse of Com loons." • " The Fad of Albennele.*--Three times three. The Rev.

Extract from a private letter, dated Louvain. October 24 :—" The change of abode talked of fur NAPOLEON dues not meet much credit, although his partisans, of whom there are numbers every where, say it is impossible that the Allied Sove reigns can longer suffer that lie shall be treated as at present. The general idea of his ill-trestment has hail the effect of converting those who were Ins bitterest eneinie., when he was in power, into devoted friends." Yesterday was a holiday at the Stock Exchange and the Bank. At an early hour, however, there was • large assemblage of .brokers and jobbers on the Royal Exchange.

Extract of a letter from Stranraer. dated the siil instant:—" A cotton.laden ship must have been lost some where shout the I.le of Man, o► on the opposite coast of England, for a south.east will(' has chive!' into the Bay of Luce, from fifty to sixty bales of cotton, some oak loaves, awl small pieces of a ship. The cotton is of short staple." From various circumstances we are inclined to believe that there is a design, on the part of Go verninent. to propose to Parliameot, as a prepara tory step to the resumption of cash payments. the repeal of the Statute of 1773, and of the subsequent Acts. by which silver coin was declared to be a legal tender only to a Limited mooed. The repeal of those statutes would restore to the silver currency its ancient character. and make it, as it is every where else. the standard legal currency of the United Kingdom. It now bears a seignionige, and comisr quently would not Ise likely to be exported as an article of commerce. which our cold coin now is, on account of the profit which it yields as a com modity, exclusive of exchange. The sovereign and half-sovereign would then become mere tokens, and might be reduced to the value severally of 18 and 9 shillings. We are induced to believe that this plan is in contemplation. because we learn that a coinage of three millions of silver is ordered ; and it is cer tain that immense quantities of silver have recently been imported, and, iu fact, are daily importing. evidently by extensive purchases for the Bunk. It is possible that by this means the 11. notes would, in the first place, be paid its cash, as an experiment previously to the general rtsinnetion.—(Erening Paper.) ?, t milp `WI& ~..:~- .

Th e num ber for tlois'day was ts 7, not more than a dozen o f which were heard ; 18 are on Thursday's list, and 34 on Friday's. The only case this day of the slightest interest was that of Mr. Joseph Carless, merchant. This gentleinaies application for his discharge was op posed by Mr. BASSETT, is, behalf of Mr. Samuel Borrower, the opposing creditor. 'The Learned Counsel stated, that Mr.Carless had bees, discharg ed in this Court under the Act, on the II di April, fats, from a series of debit, amounting to no less a sum thus 30,3671. 134. Ind.

Rs. I Id, The Lea:riled Counsel rubmiited that bv the Act any persm: oho canoe up to claim his discharge a 'mood tune within the tern► of five years from his first liberation, under its o ••.ions, was boned to make out a special ca►e of casualty or misfortune, before lie could he allowed to go into the nroesits of lois present application. The COURT admitted that the Insolvent was hound to make out 44 special case to justify his se cond application for the benefit of the Act within the term of five years. Mr. HEATH, who wee Counsel for the Insolvent, proceeded to examine him, for the purpose of sa tisfying the Court that he wet entitled to claim its indulgence on the present occasion. Mr. Carless put is, a statement of his recent losses in trade. In law expenses abuse he had iii. cursed debts to the amount of 400/. since his last discharge, and he bed paid 600/. of lois former 'debts. His principal darlings were involved with bill transactions, by which he had been a consi derable loser. The COURT held, tkit sufficient ground had been made out to justify the preseiit application of the Insolvent for the benefit of the Act. Mr. BassuTT was then proceeding to exemine the Insolvent respecting two bills of 130/. each, which he receiied from the n g creditor, Mr. Burrower, for the purpose of getting discounted, but hail never returned the proceeds, when— Mr. HEATH interposed, and culled on Mr. Bar— sett to produce these bills, if the opposing creditor claimed to he heard in virtue of them. . . Mr. BASlllat ►aid, that his client, conceiving himself unjustly treated in the transaction, had re. sisted the payment of them when they became due, ■nd actions were now pending urnii them ; he could not, therefore, produce the bills at this moment, though he could adduce suf f icient evidence to .hew the course adopted by the Insolvent with these bills. The COURT held that the hills must be produc. ed, if this part of the transaction were urged against the Insolvent. A. man to prove himself a creditor, must chew the foundation of his claim. The Insolvent explained that his effects consisted chiefly of outstanding bills, and Mr. HtATIR offered, that if Mr. Bur►owes would give up. for the benefit of the creditors at large, all the bills which, in the course of their connec tion. had been given to him by Mr. Curless, the latter would undertake to pay hitn 1,000/. out of his claim within one week. Many or the►e bills bring afloat in other hands, the opposing creditor could not accede to the offer. It is reported, that a handsome letter was sent by his.
