On Tuesday morning ut 10 o'clock the Sheriffs
entered the Court, attended by Messrs. Smith and
Gurney, Sir T. Becvor, Bart., the Mayor, and
several other Gentlemen: after the usual forms were
gone through, Win. Smith, Esq. Was proposed by
E. Rigby, Esq., and supported by Aldervimt Hob-
berds and Wm. Unthatt!,, Esq. ; Richard 11. Gur-
ney, Esq. was proposed by Anthony Hudson, h.q
and supported I+y Alderman Foster and S. Stone,
Esq. immediately after which,
A Mr. Porter, an upholsterer, rose, and e!aimed
the right ofevery freeman ; he rose to propose Sir E.
Kerrison, and Alderman 1. Pattersol4, Sen. as pro-
per men for the representatives of this city ; he
was supported by Mr. Dixon, a Hair Dresser !
Mr. Sheriff Taylor asked him, whether he was
aware of the expence he was liable to, as the Im-
poser of the candidates.
Mr. Porter wished to know what it Iva,.

Mr. Taylor said about 1501.
The Sheriffs not being inclined to take hi, r,To
nixance f;Jr 17,01. Mr. Sheriff llawkes b;:gged lu
would consider the natureof his request, and not wan-
tonly plunge himself into an unnecessary expense,
and the citizens of Norwich into u state of ferment
and irritation for the attainment of an object,
which would only be attended with confusion and
party animosity. Mr. Porter then withdrew his
proposal, and Smith and Gurney were declared
duly elected.
They both returned thanks in appropriate mid
elegant speeches. A vote of thanks to the Sheriffs
for their impartial and manly conduct, was proposed
by Alderman Foster, and carried unanimously.

It is impossible that a Weekly raper can comply
with all the requests of its Readers, as to the inser-
tion of articles connected with the local Elections,
but the following speech of Mr. Wharton to the
Electors of Beverly. Yorkshire, the morning after
his arrival there, possesses so many good points, so
much of innate general value, that we publish it
with pleasure.
