election, always a stirring scene, has been further enlivened
by numerous mock-chairings of members, so that, what with
politics and antiqu,ties, Norwich is all alive. The Bishop
has a large dinner party to-night, to which the leading mem-
bers of the Institute have been asked.

GooD Srowr.—We are requested to state that the
archery sports will continue as long LI the Wellington atatue
remains on its present arch. Persons are to bring their own
shafts of ridicule; or else they can he supplied with a choice
number of the very fittest points, and each warranted to
make a hit, for threepence only, by purchasing a number of
i'anch. Every archer is to have as many shots as he
pleases; but if he misses to strike the statue—that is to say,
to shoot fully as it stands—be will incur the penalty of being
laughed at :—the archer who, by hitting the statue, succeeds
in bringing it down, to be declared the winner. The arch is
open to all England.—PwicA.
