On Monday last, being the anniversary of the birth of the
late Right lion. Charles James Fox, the Fox Club of the
county of Norfolk had their annual grand dinner, in M. Ars-
drew's-hall, Norwich, in commemoration of the day. The
tickets issued on the oecaaion amounted to 4400; and, as no
room in the city was capable of containing NO large a num-
ber of gateau'. the Mayor was kind enough to offer them
the use of the Town-hall for their meeting. The offer wan
joyfully 'weepiest, and for some days previous to that on
which the dinner was held, the stewards were employed in
superintending the hoarding and matting of the ball, and is
overlooking the other preparations.

the Earl of Allwmarle. Sir R. Ferguson, Mr. Coke, Mr. Mac-
donald, and others, arrived at Mr. Aides souls Foster, with
whom they remained till yesterday morning.
During the whole of Monday, strangers kept pouring into
Norwich rum various quarters of the c-arty of Norfolk ;
and considerably before four o'clock, the hour appointed
for 11w dinner, the Hall was completely Stied. At a quarter
past four, the abouting of she multitude without, and the
striking up of the music within the hall, annouoced the ar-
rival of the Earl of Albemarle, the chairman of the meet-
ing. He was received with the greatest entbusasm. Short-
ly afterwards the Duke of Sussex made his oppearassee,
amid the loudest acclamations, and was received with the
toms! honours, the music playing God sore the King, and
the company rising on his approach. The tables were roug-
ed in three lines shows. the halt, and at the end of them, op-
posite to the colon's of the French ship Glerienr, presented
to the Corporation of Norwich by Sir E. Berry; another
table was placed under a canopy, at which sat the Chsirmss
and the gentlemen who acted as stewards. The canopy was
surmounted by a transparency of the word " Sussex," sod
by the name of " Fox," smith:a festoon of variegated lamps.
Opposite to ohiscanopy wan " Albemarle," similarly Mewl-
• nated. In the middle of the centre table was placed a small
bust of Mr. Fox, with some emblematic devices.

to stipport by every constitutional means the rights and pri-
vileges of the people—united in their approbation of the
principles of Mr. rox, as best calculated to support the
welfare, happiness, and honour of the country—united to
pay a tribute of respect to his memory; and in the eloquent
language of his esteemed fa lead, M r Join Taylor, to

" Come to his loath, but sot to weep,
Rut Freedom's holiday to keep;"
and to render it a sacred altar " round which they were to
vow to liberty;"—when be considered and recollected all
these points, he felt convinced aim, so matter what the
Chairatais might have either doom or said, the meeting could
not by any possible accident have met with a failure. And
now, sopported as the Chair was, on the right hand by
illustrious branch of the House of Broonswirk—(braid op.
pleas.)--ever mindful of the principles whirls armed his fa-
mily on the throile—(Apphoom repealesl)—mo the other, by
an individual placed in the first situation in the county
(the High Sheriff, Sir W. Wyndham Dalliug), who, high
•ad honourable as that atomism was, did honour to it by
the manner in which he discharged its doties—fekeera)—
he willingly parsed; for if held not then pause, he did nut
know when be should, especially as he sow himself also sup-
ported by inch • numerous sad rosp•etable seernobly as was
never before met together, coasidering the rank, the proper.
ty, the talent, and the respectability of them who composed
it, all looking to the Chai► with therein enuntosainess, and
all contributing to the good humour, and what was • still
MOM resent ial point, to the utility of the stateliest. He was not
going to play the hypocrite, 'adios*, that he regretted being
placed in the Chair ; by ma arrays ; it was • subject of pride
and exultation to hies; hut be was going to say this—that
when placed in it, hewn oothieg without their co-operation.
He therefore called urea them fur their isidnlgence, askoll
them to forgive any errors which he might commit (he ought
rather to have said, the many blunders which be should
commit), and entreated them to believe him to be must siw
erre in his wish to poly individual attention to all premot,asid
anxious not to give offewee by any omission of respect.—
(fond cheering)—Having said thus mock regarding himself,
be should now say • few words on the toast which he had to
propose to them. lust year, as it was the first teeming of
any coosiderable Meat which bed been held upon the sub-
ject, he had felt it his duty to eater at length both iuto the
public and the priests character of Mr. Fox. Dime that this
meeting had been established, sad as be frosted firmly
established, that it did become as it were • rallying point
to an Mends of the constitution, and an altar to liberty
never to be violated, it would be useless for hins again
to eater into those topics. Of the private character of Mr.
Fox he should sot say • single word those who knew him
best, if their feelings would permit them, could say the moat ;
but if they wished to form an opinion of bin public theme-
ter, he would say," Look to the ineastiers of those who were
opposed to him; use the state to which they have reduced
the empire; view the country as it was, and as it is; consi-
der the changes which have been made is the constitution
since you last met for the same pupas, with that fur which
you are now assembled, sod relict upon the rrvolutios which
has taken place in it since you last islet together in this very
hall. If they would consider the general discontent which
was now sullenly soil sit ntly prevadiog the cometry, arising,
not from disaffection—for the people of England were well
affected to the Crowe and Constitution—but from • spa.
tens of mat-administration, and from distress which could

clearly be trace., to the pressure of overwhelminglasatios—
if they would recollect that the wants, the wishes, and the
distresses of the people were met by nothing else but force,
and were not eves attempted to be redressed by conciliation
and good goverewaret—if they would reflect on the re-
cent extraerdniary addition made to the staedieg army in
time of peace, and the detestable nature of the late measures,
into the details of which he would nut enter as he was justi-
fied in calling them violatioe of the Constitutive, since
they had been admitted to be such by the Ministers of the
Crown—measures that were must coercive and restrictive,
and as corigeninl to the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, and
pleasing to the Princes of she Holy Alliance, as they were
uneongertial and grievous to free-horn F.tegliihmen.-(Lond
diesrfng.)--If they would ponder well unite all theft topics,
he would ask them, could such Billie have been ducted, iw,
as some justify them on the ground of necessity, could the
density for enacting them have existed, bad the advice of
Mr. Fox been followed, and his principles steadily acted on ?
—(Loud deters.)—He had debater more to add at present,
