FROM TUZ I\ ORWIOU COURIER.

FPaCIAL AsSIMBLY.—At the last quarterly assent',
lily of the eueporat ton, the Alderman objected to admit
Mr. S. Caleer, ern. and Mr. 5. Calvet, jun., to the free-
dom of the Cii al, hough they had been summoned by.
the Chamberlain's Council, and load paid their lines ank
fees. On a conference with the Commons they refined
to give any reasons for their rej..ction, and the Coen-
moos havitp,,, in vain attempted to :rain of the Aldermen
the grounds on which tht ir concurrence was requested.
closed to proceed any further in the business. of the
assembly, at the same time expressing their readmits to
do so, if their request for information was complied will?,
Hy this conduct, Calver and his San were kept rpm
ont of their freedom, wlitle the corporation held tht it
money. They therefore applied last Friday to the Gnat
of King's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Corp'.
ration to 'hew cause why they should not Ix: admit ed
'to their freedom: order of the couit was served
upon the Mayor, the Sherifh, and the Speaker, on
Sa-
turday evening; and the Mayor in consequence esitto-
moiled a special assembly on Tuesday Lon. It w:
proposed in the Aldermen that the Town Clerk Le
instructed to shine cause why the rule should not be
made absolute. Itlessrs. Calvet s not bring entitled PP
their freedom as sawyers, the power which the corpota.
tion possessed of summoning persons to take up the:r
fre,dont, being only intended as a protection fur fetal
dealers, and nut for persons carrying on inch extensit
concerns us that of the in ividuals in question. To this
it was replied that no just cause routit be shown agaitin
the rule. That Messrs. Capers had been regularly sum-
: molted to take up their freedom by the Under Chartibei-
lain, that they had been examined by the Chatubcrlain't
Council. who had taken their money and tecommended
them wbe sworn. That Mr. Culver, sets. had been
brought up to the trade of a sawyer, which he had car-
ied on front erly life to the present time at Shrophaus.
and at Norwich, and that he was to all intents amt.
purposes a retail dealer in sawn stuff of all kinds.—

The same motion bring scot in to the Commons—it was
contended that it c.tuld not be acceded to, as the
men had refined to give any reasons why the t ecommen-
dation of the Chamberlain's Council should not he
complied with,. it was therefore imprissible that the
Commons could with any justice concur in any step
which should throw an olistai:le in the way of thole
persons being admitted to their freedom who (as far as
any et idence nail came berme that hotly), were justly
and legally entitled to it. On a division there were
