Honorary Treasurer to the Society for the relief
of Foreigners in distress, and he did not doubt
but that he had in that capacity an opportunity
of gaining the ebr of foreign Ministers, and there,
by supporting the endeavours and objects of the
Holy Alliance. From. such Holy Alliance the
Lord deliver as—the intention was to' establish
a system of terrorism; but the people were not to
be terrified. Ills Royal HighnesS then pro-
ceeded to remark on what he termed that most

voidable Paper, JiAn Bitll-L-4. 'Most MisChievotts
. .
and dangerous implement of despotic power ;
well had his friend Mr. Den Man remarked, that
if Rich a.,weapon were wielded against a.Govern-
ment, it could not stand. If, then, a Government
could not resist such a weapon, what must be the
fate of a. private individual against Whom it was
directed-2 ,was a complete 'inquisition.--
What feeling must a man, who was a brother or
a husband, have, if, when he was about to dis-
charge a public duty, he received an anonymous
letter directing him to take care of what he was
about—if -he proceeded too far, his wife or his
sister would be made the subject of some per-
sonal and scurrilous attack ? This'WOs a com-
plete disorganization of society; and why was all
this done but to prevent the truth from coming
out ? If John Bull can be content to sit over
his tea-table, shrug up his shoulders at the hard-
ness of the times, and say nothing at all, all
would be well ; but because honest men would
speak, such measures were resorted to, to pre-
vent them. In his opinion, and he would speak
it plainly and fairly, all the difficulties under
which the country. laboured consisted in taxa-
tion, a great and overivheltnincr taxation ; it was
a general and a crying evil. It. had been shewn
how it originated, and .the.system employed to
keep it up was to divide the parties, by which
manoeuvre Ministers retained their power and in-
fluence. This system plunged . the country into
confusion, and it could not.,emerge from its diffi-
culties. There was but one remedy—a• long
pull, .a strong pull, and a pull 'altogether; se-
move the cause,. and you take away the effect.
The good old English maxim, that every man must
cut his coat according to his clOth, might
be applied with effect ; if the establishment
cannot be ,kept up, the expenditure must be
reduced. But unless some strong resolutions to
that effect were passed, and supported by the
people, the establishment would be referred to
some such beautiful Committee of Finance as
they had lately seen, in the formation of which
about
_two Membgrs out of 28 -would_ be anti-Mi-
nisterial. He would give his opinion openly :
He thought, that unless a real, rational, and
Constitutional Reform in Parliament. were effect-
ed, nothing could be done.—(Great applause.)—
He stated this fairly here, as he had formerly
done in the House of Lords; and adverting to
what had passed on that occasion, he could not
help regretting, that he saw the party with
which he was in the habit of acting shackled
by, persons who pretended, to co-operate with
them, but who, in fact, clidnot belong to them.
Having said so much with respect , to the party
to which he alluded, he had,., only to ob-
serve, that when a Noble Lord charged him and
others who advocated Reformi with.being Jaco-
bins, he answered, that he was
.not a Jacobin,
and that when the question came fairly. before
the House, he. would let his. Lordship see whe-
ther he was so or ..not.—(Applause.)—He con-
cluded by returning his cordial
which
to the
meeting, for the high compliment which they had
paid to him.—His Royal Highness's speech was
received throughout with very great-applause and
attention, and he sat down amidst,loud expres-
sions of respect and approbation,:which lasted a
very considerable time.
The CHAIRMAN then gave—,
" The Respectability of the- Crown, the Durability of the
Constitution, and the Prosperity of the People."
" The Cause for which Hampden bled on the field, and
Sydney and Russell on the scaffold."
The Earl of 'ALBEMAItLi said, that when on a
former occasion hi had 'had the' satisfaction of
meeting the present company,: he had asserted
that no man possessed so despotic an authority as
the Chairman of a Society like the present; and
this despotic power consisted in the unbribed ex-
ercise of prosing and boring' the' company upon
any -subject he pleased to introduce, with no
othei limit; than his oWnarbitrarY ; he shou Id
now. rn4e Use. of that, power. At a late County
Meeting, where many of the. Gentlemen now in
the room were present, and seyeral others who
perhaps. were not so much interested, but who
must:nevertheless excuse this digression, it was
generally admitted that The present distress .was
universal, and that .it , proceeded from an over-
whelming taxation, not.ouly affecting the people
directly,. but through indirect channels. It was
shewn that this, taxation could only be
lessened by an immediate and ,general reduc-
tion in the expenditure of the State, which
could not be efficient without , a Reform in
the Representation of the People. Those
were the grounds upon which this question was
argued. His Lordship begged 'to apologize both
on his own part and in the name of Mr. Coke, to
his friend Mr. Watson, and to the Gentlemen wha
drew up. the Resolutions, for the accidental mis-
take which he had occasione:d,by. moving a Re-
solution, which was the sortie as That which had
been previously propoied by,those. Gentlemen.
He could assure those Gentlemen , of the satis-
faction both Mr. Coke
,and himself felt at
' the manner. in which the yeomanry had come

for:w4ard on. that occasion, , -and of their ..de-
:erinination to support these Resolutions. He,
',.lo.w.ever, could not help sa.ying, that he thought
it' would have • been, better if rather more
communication had taken place on that sub-
-- Ject• between the parties interested. Ills Lord:.
'ship, could not help expressing his admira-
tion of the conduct of Mr. Alderman Thurtell—
the.Manly manner in which that Gentleman had
ccinae forward on that occasion did honour to his
heart and to his understanding. If the meeting
'hooked about them they 'would see many persons
who; were coming round to the same opinion.
Follow him, said his Lordship, they Will and
ern.' :'-sst,rand the sooner the better. He hoped his
Mend, Mr. Watson, was" fully satisfied that
the inadvertence of which himself and his
friend had been guilty in moving the resolu-
tions,' was entirely accidental. He pledged
his honour, as a gentleman, that the mistake
arose from no mean) paltry, Pitiful jea-
lousy. lie hoped this declaration would satisfy
ail parties (yes, yes.) - If any doubt. still existed,
his Lordship, shotild they again calla county
meeting, (and he had very little doubt that it
would be necessary for them to do so) they would
find -both-Mr. Coke and himself ready to forward
their wishes to the best of their ability. He
wished to make this explanation, because he had
been much misrepresented, and because,, he did
not think the subject irrelevant to the toast he
was about to given. In proposing that toast, he
-begged to express his thanks to the high Sheriff
for the polite attention which- he had paid to the
-wishes of the yeomanry. His Lordship then gave—
" The High Sheriff of the County." •
Mr. G. WATSON. entirely exonerated the Noble Lord from
any intention to act unfairly. - He was happy the requisition
had met hiS Lordship's approbation. At the County :Meeting
he had stated the reasons which induced the yeomanry to sign
the requisition. Ile had said. that the occupiers had a stake in
the country as well as their landlords, although not so large in
extent. That meeting was a constitutional' one, it was the
sight of Englishmen, and was called as the Act directs. The
Committee, appointed to draw up the resolutions were not of one
• opinitiii on'political subjects. Of course it was their wish to do ,
nothing that should disturb the unanimity: They all felt the
distress, and their great object was relief: Agreeing, therefore,
in the main points, they endeavoured as much as possible to
refrain from making any allusions to politics. These were the
reasons which had induced the Committee to draw up those re-'
solutions. Amongst the various public 'reports of the transac-
tions, the Editor of The Stamford Mercury' had stated him to
be a Tory. The Noble Lord knew that he Was no Tory. The
EditOr might with equal propriety have said that the Devil was '
a saint. There was not a spark of Toryism in him. The very
name of Tory was so abhorrent to his feelings, that he felt as if
he was in a nest of wasps whenever the narefe was applied to
him. He felt great satisfaction at the presence of the Royal
Duke on this occasion. He hoped the Royal Family of this
et.uetry would adhere to the principles which placed them on
the-Throne, and not be led, away by those sycophantic Minis-
:erg, who would not hesitate to sacrifice both their country and
their King to attain their own base ends. He should be glad
to see the Royal Family of this country reposing the fullest con,
fidence in the people. :The. Royal Duke now before them
wanted no bayonet to protect him ; he wanted no troop of dra-
goons to escort him to their meeting, nor world any other of
our Royal Family need such protection, if they attended to the
erinciples which placed their family on the Throne. It they
did this, they would find their. best defence and security in the
hearts and affections of Englishmen-(Applause.) •
The next toast was, " The Cause of. Civil and Religious Li.
berty all over the world."
The Earl of ALBEMARLE then said he had to propose to
the, Meeting the health of a man who never appeared before
them, and whose name was never heard without exciting feel-
' Irigs of esteem, veneratiein, and affection ; he meant the be-
loved and highly respected Bishop of the' Diocese.—(Loud
cheers.)—He hoped he might be indulged in saying a few words'
of the.character of that most amiable and upright Prelate, for,
however feebly he might describe it, lie felt that he wasin unison
with the feelings of the assembly, in attempting to do justice
to his exalted worth. In doing this,- he was in some measure
assisted by a test which had fallen in his way, and that test was
the character of a perfect man, which he had. recently read in
the works of a Reverend Divine. He was aware that he was'
using a strong expression, but he begged a • moment's patience,
and he would- engage to establish his assertion. A perfect man
was described to be superior to fear, influence, or corruption ;
one whose mind was regulated by the strictest rectitude, who
was.true to the God whom he worshipped, and to the faith
which he professed, a man who was true to his brethren, faith-
ful to his friends, generous to'his, enemies, self-denying to his
own- interests, but liberal to those of the public—a man who
was magnanimous, but not proud, humble, but not mean, just
• without harshness, simple in his manners, but manly in his feel-
- lags, upon whose word you could rely, -whose countenance
could not deceive,—whose sentiments of kindness were theeffu-
sions of his own heart —one -whom you might chose as a supe-
rioretrust as a friend, and love as a brother. This was the cha-
racter given of a perfect man, 'and by this test, paragraph by
paragraph, he was ready to try that of the Reverend Prelate.—
. (Loud applause).—lle would put it to the Meeting whether
there could be a likeness more similar, or a portrait more just.
He concluded by proposing the health of the Bishop of Nor-
wich, and though it was not usual to drink the health of per-
sons who were absent in that manner, he would give it in three
times three.
Archdeacon BATHURST returned thanks for the honour
which had just been conferred on his venerable relation.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE said, he had now to propose a
toast which would give the highest satisfaction to all around
• • him ; he meant the health of his Noble Friend " the Duke
• of Norfolk." His Noble Friend had, since their last meeting in
that place, attended at the Coronation of his Majesty; and from
the high situation which he held, as the head of the hereditary
Nobility of the country, he was near the person of his Sove-
zeign, and was selected by hint from his fellows to say to the
people that the King drank their health. However highly he
might have felt the honour done on that occasion, he (the Noble
Earl) could assure the Meeting, that his Noble Friend would
feel equally gratified by the present mark of their approbation.
. HI3 Noble Friend was no less anxious to support the honour and
dignity of the Crown on. the oneliand, than the rights and liber-
ties.-of the People on the other. Ile concluded by proposing
" The health of the Duke of Norfolk, a:la may the ancient here-
ditary Nobility of the kingdom ever think it their highest lion-
, our to Support the rights of the people."—The toast was re-
ceived with loud and continued applause.
The Duke of NORFOLK rose to return thanks. Nothing
. could be more gratifying or flattering to his feelings than the
very handsome manner in which he had always been received
• by the meeting, and particularly on that bccasion. He felt the
more gratified- as lie perceived that they had, since he lest saw
them, assembled in, increased numbers to commemorate the
lrinciples of Mr. Fox. It was 'to those principles that they must
ank, if not for indemnity for the past, at least far security for
the future. The Noble- Chairnrnn had alluded to the situation
which he,held at the Coronation. He must confess-that he fe.lt
pmad at being commanded to return to the people the thanks of
his Sovereign, who had just pledged himself at the altos to sup-
port their rights and liberties according to the principles which
tad placed his family on the Throne. He felt the more -,,tea-
stare at the situation which he occupied on that occasion, when
he reflected that some of his ancestors had been placed in situa-
tioes infinitely less agreeable—(A laugh.)-e-The days of arbi-
trary power were gone by, but they must strictly adhere to the
principles of Mr. Fox to prevent their return. He assured
them that he felt as proud of the honour which had just been
conferred upon him, as of any which he had enjoyed.ein the si-
tuation to which his- Noble Friend had alluded.—(Applause.)
' The Earl of ALBEMARLE next gave—" A speedy Re-
• Real to all laws which tend in any degree to abridge the sacred
edits of conscience, and our thanks to those of the Clergy, who
signed from this Diocese, the first Petition to Parliament in fa-
vour of Religious Toleration."
• Archdeacon BATHURST Said, he had in his official capa-
city called a Meeting of the Clergy on the subject alluded to, as
' he felt it his duty so to do. He assured the Meeting that many
of his Reverend Friends, among whom was the Rev. Mr. Col-
lyer had afforded him the warmest co-operation and support.
The Rev. Mr. COLLYER said, that as one of those who
had signed the • Petition alluded to, - be begged leave to return
thanks to the meeting, on behalf of himself and his friends, for
. . the honour which they had just conferred upon him. He as.
mired the meeting that 'he never signed any paper with more
iileasure, and he hoped there
.was no clergyman who would re-
•,: fasts to co-operate in so just and salutary a measure. He hoped
• • he might be allowed to digress a little tipon this occasion. He
'. bad ever been an advocate of the political principles of Mr. Fox.
He had, ever considered that if those principles had been acted
. upon several years ago, much danger and distress would have
been averted from thii country. He. wanted no conviction to •
=press this upon his mind ; but if any were necessary, lie had

It in the distresses by which they were at present surroandetl.
If ever there was a period which required the exertions of every
honest man it was the present crisis. '1 heir liberties were curtailed,
he wished that they might not be totally extinguished ; theirpro-
perty w as reduced—h e wished that itmight no be totally destroy ed ;
the agricultural interest was distressed—he wished to rescue -it
front total annihilation ; their population was unemployed—he
wished to see the industry of the country again brought into ac-
tivity, for this would be one way of securing the happiness, by
maintaining the morals of the people. All their present griev-
ances were, in his opinion, produced, by an unjust, cruel, and
unnecessary war. That war gave rise to the expences by which
they were now burthenedthe dangeisby which they were sur-
rounded' were too near to be lightly noticed, and hoiv; were
those dangers to be averted but by an entire change both of men
and Measures, and by the adoption of every practicable means
of securing the rights and liberties of the people ? These were
blessings which could only be attained by a wise and temperate,
but real and substantial, Reform in the Commons house of-
Parliament —(Loud applause.)—He hoped he should not be
Considered as having trespassed improperly upon the attention
of the meeting, but he could not in justice to his own feelings
have sat down without,saying thus much. After congratulating
the meeting upon the presence of the Royal Duke, the Duke of
Norfolk, their Noble Chairman, and the other honourable and.
independent Gentlethen around him, he 'concluded by express-
ing his satisfaction at finding that the County of Norfolk pos-
sessed a body of Yeomanry who might fairly be considered as
the pride, strength, and Ornament of the land (Applause.)
The Duke of SUSSEX, in proposing the health of the Earl
of Albemarle. expressed his regret that the Noble Earl did not
exert those powerful talents, which were so well known to the
country, in his proper place—in the 'House of Peers. A cer-
tain distinguished Personage had characterised County Meet-
ings as farces; but if, after the exertions of the Noble Earl
and his friends, such expressions -were in future applied to
COunty Meetings, they might turn out to be very serious tra-
gedies indeed.: He concluded by propoiing " The health of
the Noble Chairman," which was drank with loud and conti-
nued applause. '
The Earl of ALBEMARLE said, that when a man knew
his own faults, it was the ;.first step towards correcting them.
He was aware that two faults were 'attributed to him.—
Of (tie of these he was conscious, but he was not entirely dis-
posed to submit to the imputation of the other. However that
might 'be, he was sorely afraid he was not :likely to amend,
either in the admitted or imputed fault. The fault which lie
admitted was talking too much at that Meeting :.that imputed
to him was .his talking too little elsewhere. When his Royal
Highness first proposed his health, lie had determined to core
rect the first fault, at least, by not speaking much about
himself. He begged, however, to say one or two words upon
die remark which his Royal Highness had made upon him. In
the first place, his Royal Highness had fallen into a mistake,
which many a - kind-hearted Man had fallen into before him.
He allowed the kindness of his heart to get the better „of his
judgment, for those who best knew him knew how unfit he was
for the House of Lords. He was not at all fitted for the so-
lemnity, the gravity; the wisdom, and decorum of that assem-
bly ; he had no ambition to gratify,, uo private object to attain,
and in honest truth he must say, that he thought an attend-
ance on the House of Lords a useless and thankless exertion.
He did not perceive the good which was to come from it.. He
had, it was true, been ready to come forward in thecounty,
and he did so for this reason—that he though this exertions
there more effective than they could " be as a daily debater in.
the House of Lords. He hoped they would accept the thanks
of a plain , man; who had no ambition beyond a wish to hold
the good opinion and good will of those who knew him best—
(Applaiise).—There was no man who wished more sincerely
than himself the happiness and prosperity of his friends, or the
general welfare of this country.—(Applause.)
Song—" The Standard of Liberty floats round the world."
The Earl of ALBEMARI,E said, that he had now to pro-
pose a toast which puzzled -him more than any which lie had-
given that evening. He had, however, one way of getting' out
of the difficulty, and that.was by at once mentioning the name of
the gentleman whose health he meant to propose; naming the
gentleman would be.fully sufficient, and therefore, he should
at once state that lie had to propose the health of their worthy
and highly estimable Representative, Mr. Coke.—(Loud and
repeated' cheering.)—llis Lordship proceeded to state, that in
proposing the health of so dear a friend of , his own, as well as
of the meeting to whom he addressed himself, he feared that
he should say either too much for the delicacy of the Hon.
Member, or too little to satisfy his own feelings.—(Applause)—
But there _was one observation which he would make and he
defied any man in that or any other county to contradict filth ;
namely, that for simplicity of manners, for singleness of heart;
for doing his duty in the high situation to . which lie had been
called, he was not surpassed by any man.—(Loud cheering.)—
The Noble Earl concluded, by proposing the health of their
Hon. and lOng-tried Representative, Mr. Coke, in three times
three. (This toast was .received with enthusiastic applause.)
Mr. COKE rose to return thanks, but the cheers of the Meet-
ing were so loud and so long-continued,' that two or three mi-
nutes elapsed before the llon. Gentleman could obtain a hear-
ing. He said, it was delightful to his feelings to recollect that
he had lived for 30 years at least on terms of friendship with
Mr. FOx, whose memory that meeting assembled to commenio:
rate. But however pleasing such a feeling was, it was increas
ed by finding that they were patronized by a Noble Duke of
the House of Brunswick, upon whose character and virtues it
was unnecessary for him to dilate—(Cheers)—By having also
in the Chair a Nobleman who was his dearest friend—a Noble-
man who, by his cheerfulness of disposition, urbanity, playful-
ness, and pleasantry of manners, in holding him (Mr. Coke)
and other persons up to the meeting, had pleased and gratified
all around him—( Loud applause.),-Mr. Fox had been through
life a plain dealing man ; lie was a man of humanity—he was
filled with the milk of human kindness ; lie was a resolute and
determined foe to corruption—(Applause.)—Mr. Fox had op-
posed himself to the war which followed the French Revolution, i
and so had lie (Mr. Coke) also. He.had done so because he
did not wish to crush the rising liberties of a great nation.—
The policy of that great man (Mr. Fox) was however rejected ;
but let those who advocate the fatal system which had been
adopted in its stead take in one hand, all the glory, and in the.
other all the taxation arising from it—(Cheers.)—Mr. Fox was
a man of peace and not of blood ; he, if his counsels had been
followed, would have preserved the lives of thousands ; he
would have kept the great body of the population from misery
and starvation—(Applause.)—ln a word, he would have saved
the country from the severe distress by which they were at pre-
sent surrounded, by which the country was almost goaded to
madness. Be hoped that the example of one revolution would
prevent the necessity of another. They had heard a great deal
of " the Pilot who weathered the storm,"or as his Noble Friend
had better put it, " who gathered the storm." Where were
the advocates of that Pilot now ? Where were the Pitt Clubs,
and the Pitt Dinners ? He should like to know where they
were to be found in that county. At the late County Meeting,
a Gentleman whom he highly respected, Mr. Alderman Thur-
tell, a Gentleman whose political bias had heretofore been the
other way, cameforwafd, and in the most manly and honour.
able manner declared that lie had seen his error, and that he was
now convinced of the necessity of an alteration of measures_
(II ear !)—H is Noble Friend had stated that many other Gentle-
men would do the same thing ; he (Mr. C.) hoped they would,
and the sooner the better ;—they.would come over one by one,
except, indeed, those who were entirely fed and supported by the
present corrupt system of taxation. If any man had, more than
another, advocated the interests of the Yeothanry and Farmers
of the country, he might fairly say that, in the course of the last
49 years, he was that man—(Applause,)—He had always held
the Yeomanry to be the health and sinews of the country.—
Cheers.)--H e felt happy that the County llectinghad been called;
from die moment it had been announced, he had determined to
support it heart and hand. He was happy to find that Norfolk
was the first County which had so assembled ; other County
Meetings would soon follow it. But what was the fact before ?
In Surrey, Suffolk, Kent, and other Counties, attempts had
been made to put a stop to public opinion. One Noble Lord
told the people that they had better go home, as they would de-
rive more benefit from doing sothan from attending such Meet-
ings—(A laugh).—There were present on ' this occasion many
Gentlemen from the neighbourhood of Suffolk, and it would be
for them to understand what had been the professions of their
Member, Mr. Gooch, in Parliament. That Gentleman was at
the head of the late Agricultural Committee, a CoMmittee
which was a fallacy ; but lie feared that other such fallacies
would be crammed down their throats as remedies, unless the
whole of the Counties petitioned strongly and firmly for relief ;
unless by their active exertions they forced their Members to do
their duty—(Applause).—ln referring to Mr. Gooch, be was
naturally attracted to a pamphlet which had been lately alluded
to in another place. -It was entitled " Remarks on the last
Session of Parliament, by a near Observer." In that pamphlet
he found the following words attributed to Mr. Gooch :
" Here he must observe that much as he differed in opinion and
politics from the Honourable Member for Aberdeen (Mr.
Hume), he thought lie had by his indefatigable industry and
valuable exertions, done great service to the country. He did
not say this from any wish for popularity ; he owed it to his
constituents to say this, knowing it to be their sentiments, and
he could not return to them without having said it"—(Hear,
hear !).—The Honourable Gentleman proceeded to state, that
he would next call the attention of the Meeting to an extract
from the Speech of an ancestor of his, Lord Chief Justice
Coke ; it was curious to observe the Learned Judge's reason-
ing. • He said,—" What shall we do ? Let us palliate no
longer; if we do, God will not prosper us. I think the Duke
of Buckingham is the cause of all our miseries ; and till the
King be informed thereof, we shall never go out with honour,
or sit with honour here. That man is the grievance of griev-
ances. Let us set him down as the cause of all our disasters,
atil-all will reflect upon him"—How personal (said the pamph-
let) the Lord Chief Justice would have been considered, had he

been in Parliament in our times ! These are the specimens of
what an English house of ( c)ntinons has been; the models of
what it should be: What a contrast was this to a `• modern
Ministerial pension-making Cernmittee"—(laughing.)----The
evil of which they had now to complain was a dire and oppres-
sive taxation, and until that was reduced, they would deceive
themselves if they hoped for relief. They ought to judge of
the conduct of Ministers from what they had already seen. Let
them look to the situation of Ireland : let them observe the late
policy pursued there. He had no doubt, but a great part, if
not the whole, of the evils produced by the disorder? in that
country, might have been prevented by the exertion of a more
wise and wholesome system of Government. But what was the
fact ? Ministers allowed matters to be pushed to the last extre-
mity ; they allowed the poor deluded and distressed population
to go their lengths, in order to furnish to Parliament and to the
country an excuse for keeping up the present enormous and un-
necessary standing army—( Hear, hear !)—He for one believed
that this was the policy pursued towards Ireland, and the sys-
tem which they would wish to introduce into England also.
Ile had no doubt but the present wicked and unprincipled
Go-
vernment would feel pleased: to see disturbances similar to those
in Ireland arise in this country, for the purpose of giving them
a pretence of calling in the military, and of governing the coun-
try by martial law. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by
assuring the Meeting, that he still remained steady, and would
continue to support those principles which first induced his con-
stituents to confer upon him the honour of representing them in
Parliament—(Loud applause.)—He thanked them in the sin-,
cerity of his heart for the great kindness which-had been mani-
fested towards him.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE said, that he had now to pro-
pose to the Meeting the health of their City Members. Of
those Gentlemen he was happy to say that one (Mr. W. Smith)
was presiding at the head of a table near him, with that satis-
faction which he received from all such meetings with his con-
stituents. It was highly to' the honour of the Honourable
Member (Mr. Smith), that he had through life enjoyed the per-
sonal friendship of air. Fox, and that since his death he had
never swerved from the principles of that great man.-•—(Ap-
plause.)—The Hon. Member had fought with Mr:Fox in sup-
port of civil and religious liberty, and though in many in-
stances defeated, the combat reflected not the less honour upon
' either. Coupled with Mr. Smith he had to propose the health
of Mr. Gurney, who, he was sorry to say, was absent. But as
!Mr. Gurney was a man who was anxious to please those around
him, the meeting could do no less than hope that he (Mr.
, Gurney) was pleased and gratified iawhatever situations he was
placed-at that moment. • • .
Mr. W. SMITH felt it his duty to return thanks on behalf of
himself and his Colleague, for the honour which had been done
to them both. He, in common with the Meeting, lamented the
absence of his Honourable Colleague; but he was sure the Gen-
tlemen would agree with him when he said that if that Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Gurney) felt that his :presence could in any
way have advanced the objects for which they:were assembled,
he would have sacrificed every personal consideration in order
to be present—(Applause.)—For himself lie felt bound to re-
turn thanks for the many testimonials of friendship which had
been conferred upon him on this and former occasions—(Hear,
hear, hear !)—The present meeting recalled to his recollec-
tion a circumstance which lie must always, reflect upon
With pleakure—he meant- the attachment which he had al-
waysentertained to. the person and principles of Mr. Fox
—(Cheers.)--He felt also much pleasure in reflecting that
an adherence to those principles had more firmly cemented the
connection which hehad with the City of Norwich. during the
last twenty years—( Hear, hear, hear !)—lt was . needless for
him to say a word of the character of or the loss sustained to
the country by the death of Mr. Fox.:—That meeting was the
highest eulogium which could be pronounced upon him. In
•that room they found that a great number of the most respects
ble men in the county had assembled, so long after Mr. Fox's
'death, to couple his name with the Constitution, of England ;
—with the cause of universal liberty—(Cheers.)—Their Noble
Chairman said, that he did not wish to go into a detailed cam-
parikon of the comparative merits of Mr. Fox and Mr. Pitt.
.-He (Mr. Smith) would however beg leave to consider a,
few points' in the lives of both. Mr. Pitt had had many
supporters in this country, but then it should be recollected
that he had for a long period held empire, over the public
purse of the nation. This alone- gave him patronage .to an_
immense extent ;—and notwithstanding the little gratitude
which was said to exist in human nature, it was not wonder-
ful that there should still be found some few whose pockets
had overflowed, with his bounty, and. who, not having yet
lost all that had been so obtained, , were willing to return
the favour by supporting the system which had supported
them. —(Hear, hear !)—But let them consider the situation of
Mr. Fox, under what disadvantages did that Gentleman ap=,.
pear before 'the public ? Why was he supported who ,had no-
thing to grant, except from an appreciation in the public mind
of that beauty of character, and of those constitutional:princi-
ples which he' had ever possessed.—(Loud cheers.) The
tlon. Member stated' in- conclusion, that the reasons which he
had already given had induced him to support N 1 r. Fox while
living; and to adVocate his principles since his decease ; and he
hoped that as long as the advocacy of such principles should, in
his opinion; be beneficial to his Constituents, he should never
desert them.—(Applause.)—He need not add, that he was now
more than ever convinced of their being right.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE said that. he had now a toast
to give, in proposing which, he feared he should place himself
' in the situation of a Gentleman who was once relatingo story in
presence of the late Sir Philip Francis, whose impetuosity of
temper was well-known. The Gentlemen was relating this story
M a kind of a round about way, as he (the Earl of Albemarle)
Might be- upon that occasion, when Sir Philip exclaimed with
the utmost impatience " In the name of mercy, Sir, the result,
the result."—(A lauih.)—So it might be said of him, and
therefore he would give it to them, for, as Lord Suffieldsaid,
" do what they would, come it must." He should propose—
" A speedy and effectual Reform in the Representation of the
People in Parliament." This toast was received with loud ap-
plause, and drank with three times three.
The Duke of'SUSSEX rose to propose a toast, which the
Chairman could not, from the delicate situation in which, he was
placed, propose to; the Meeting. The proposition, could not'
fall into better hands than those of his Royal Highness, as no
one was more anxious for the honour of the Noble Chairinan's
family, or more fully impressed with the talents and virtues
of the Gentleman whose health he was about to propose than''
he (the Duke of Sussex) was. He proposed the health of Lord
Bury.—(Cheers.)
Lord BURY felt honoured by the kind reception which the
Meeting had given him, as it signified their approval of his
public conduct. ' The Noble Lord proceeded to point out taxa-
tion (arising from a profligate expenditure) as the great cause
of our distresses ; and retrenchment—a rigorous retrenchment
in every branch of the State—as the only means of affording
permanent relief. This retrenchment was not, however, to be
obtained without a change of men and measures.
The next toast was, " the health of Lord Holland, the repre-
sentative of the name and principles of Mr. Fox"—(Applause.)
The Noble Earl said he had now to propose the health of an
honest man—a man whose name would be highly acceptable to
all who knew him; he meant Mr. Honywood, Member for
Kent.—[This toast was loudly cheered, and drank with three
times three.]
Mr. lIONYWOOD, in returning thanks, assured the
Meeting that while he deeply felt the kindness with which he
was treated, he felt that he had done nothing to deserve their
favour, except his endeavour to redeem the pledge which he
had given to his'constituents to support their interests and
those of the nation to the best of his abilities—(Applause).!---
He had been bred from infancy in the principles of Mr.
and the judgment of the man only confirmed the early impres-
sions of his boyhood.- He felt convinced that if the great po-
litical principles of Mr. Fox had been acted upon, the present
overwhelming distresses of the country would have been pre-
vented—(Hear, hear, hear !)—Had that warning and prophetic
voice been attended to, those direful calamities with which
they were- surrounded would have been unknown. Had this
been the case, instead of having their workhouses full of
paupers, and their gaols full of criminals, they would have a
working and industrious population ; they would have their
lands in a high state of cultivation; they would have their gaols
free from criminals, and crime scarcely known. The only way
to remedy the evils now existing was to seek for the causes
which produced them. In all diseases of the huMan body:the
cause must he discovered and removed before the effect could
be made to cease. So it was in the body politic. They must
seek for the great cause of the evil, and he had no hesitation in
saying, that that evil was. severe and oppressive taxation—
(Hear, hear !)—He assured the meeting that he did not throw
out these observations for the puipose.of causing irritation. Ile
had before expressed a similar opinion, and so had many other
Members of the House of Commons. If they compared the
present prices of grain and expenditure with those of 179'2, they
would find that they were at present supporting a qhadruple
expenditure without any increase of means —( Hear !) —Some
gentlemen who had gone before him, alluded to the French war
as the cause of our distresses; but if the people laid been fully
and fairly represented in Parliament, in all human probability
that war would never have taken place.—(Hear, hear !)—He
appealed,' then, to those who heard him, and to the country in
general, whether it was not necessary that they should return
to Parliament persons. who would boldly and fearlessly support
their rights and privileges as Englishmen ? Without a free re-
presentation of the people there could be no relief.—(-Applause.)
—Corruption was at the core of Parliament, and that corrup-
tion must be eradicated.—(Cheers)--He thanked then, most
sincerely for the honour which they had done him in drinking
his health.
The Duke of NORFOLK rose to propose the health of
Gentleman, who, he was sure, would meet with the warmest
greetings of that assembly, as well from his connection with
their Noble chairman, as from his own intrinsic merit. He

proposc,.a the inahli a UK, James Macdonald.—(Applause.)—
This toast was drank with three times three: _ _

Mr. J. MACDONALD, M. P., in rising to return thanks,
was received-with loud and repeated cheering from all parts of
the room. He was well assured that there was not in that as-
sembly a single individual who -could be easily tired in devising
means of gratifying their Noble Chairman, and that if time
would admit it, not any one of his Lordship's family would be
allowed to escape their friendly greeting— (Applause) ;—and if
any Gentleman was likely to be more forward than another in
this friendly conspiracy, it was the Noble Duke who brought
him before the meeting upon this occasion.—(Cheers.) But
the Noble Duke had, in the excess of his kindness' for-
gotten the double responsibility to which he subjected him-
, self by this proceeding. He had forgotten that in pro-
posing his (Mr. 31`Dtinald's) health, he necessarily inflicted
upon the Meeting a• speech of his, for which he (the
Duke of Norfolk) was responsible and, secondly, the
Noble Duke was responsible to him for the sundry yawns
and laughs by which that speech must necessarily be in-
terrupted. -He should, however, make his speech as short
as possible, and thereby.lessen the -responsibility of the Noble
Duke both the one way and the other. But did his Grace re-
collect that he had incurred a third and most serious respon-
sibility in proposing his (Mr.- IVl'Donalti's) health ? He meant
responsibility to their Noble Chairman, who was by this
toast reminded of a third generation. He would, however,
endeavour to make the Noble Duke's peace, by wishing that to
the fourth or fifth generation =the example set by the Noble
Chairman should not be lost upon his posterity (Loud cheers.)
Having said so much, he did not see how he could add a sylla-
ble to what had been said by the Gentleman who had so ably
gone over the ground before him; indeed he was at a loss to find,
a corner into which to thruSt himself. He congratulated the
meeting on the vigour of wind displayed by their worthy and
distinguished Member, -Mr. Coke, - who had now spent some
forty or fifty years in their service. After such an ordeal, that
Honourable,Gentleman must appear before them with a pecu-
liarly proud feeling of having to his utmost discharged his duty,
not only to his constituents, but to the country at large—(Ap-.
plause.),-He begged also to congratulate the :Meeting upon the
able and energetic speech delivered by the Reverend Divine
-(Mr. Collyer) from (lie centre table. It-was a speech charac-
terised net less by the duties of his profession, than by those
sound political doctrines which became him as a good Chris-
tian and an honest ,man—(Applause.)--Having said so much,
hedid not wish to follow directly the. topics which had been
already touched -upon. Something had, however, been said
about the pilot who weathered or more properly speaking, who
gathered the storm.`Surely they- were-! not there - to 'Sing of
storms having been weathered at a time -when the storm was
still gathering and raging! around them ; they were not assem-
bled there to prate about prosperity and happiness when ruin
was staring every one Of - them in, .the • face—(Hear!)—Surely
they .were not. assembled to boast of the liberties of Europe at
a time when every effort to enslave, not only the Continent,
but England, was in agitation, and likely, if not resisted
in time, to. be attended with success.—(Applause.)--Why,
then, what were they assembled for ? Not, surely, to laud a •
systein of Government which was crumbling to atoms be-
fore their eyes • but he could- not say that it would leave
not a wreck behind. It would leave an imperishable trophy,
in the shape of a National . Debt, which was at this mo-
ment greater' than the whole circulating medium of the whole
civilised world put, together. They were met then to celebrate
and keep alive the real principles of British freedom, and
from which only could arise British prosperity.—(Applause.)
—ln looking to- those principles, they had adopted. die name
of a man who, if not faultless himself, was at least firm-
ly attached to the British Constitution; a mart, the energy
of whose mind was only equalled by ,the tenderness of his
heart ; a man who,- in the course of his whole existence, never
entertained one selfish thought—who never harboured 'one-sen-
timent which did'not tend to the benefit and well-being of his
fellow •ereatures—(Cheers.)—Let him, for a.moment,. contrast
the conduct and principles of Mr. Fox with the shabby and
shuffling counsels, the base and miserable politics, the mean
and cowardly' compliances, of the present Administration—
(Cheers.)—Had that fleeting—no, lie meant not that Meet-
ing—litit had the parasites of Ministers lost sight of the
shifts and quibbles by which they tried to evade, any pro-
position made by that able and industrious man, Mr. Hume,
to reduce taxation—(Applause) ? But. if the Gentlemen to
who'll he •appealed had forgotten all this, they had•still the exe-
crable Six Acts staring them in the faceita black-and white.—
These-Acts however were comparatively impotent, for !their
severity counteracted their intended operatioig. —(H ear !)
Until retrenchment look place; -until-the Sovereign was told
that he could govern the people -without an excessive Standing-
Army ; until the people had a full security against the recur- ,
-rence of existing evils, by a. full and- eflicienterepresentation in-'
the Commons House of Parliament, no permanent relief could
be expecteda.!e(Hear.eliear !)—He would go further„ and state,- •
thatif the; free
.spirit. of Parliament did not lead to such.
results as 'these, then there was no alternative but a. des-
perate tyranny, or a desperate revolution.—(Near, hear !)--
.He, in order to. avoid such an alternative, would vote for a wise
and temperate Reform in Parliament. He should be sorry
to;see such a meeting as that he had the honour. of address-
ing, separate without delivering its opinion on the actual
state of freedom on the. continent, for even there freedom had
recently made rapid strides—(Hear, hear !)—They would re..
collect that Portugal was free ; that power, in the steps she had
taken, -had-conferred upon, her present King a crown more-glo-
riona than had been worn by any former Ni ember of the ri cuse
of Braganza. In Spain too, the cause of freedom had made
rapid advances; so rapid, indeed, had those advances been, that-
not even the bigotry of Ferdinand, or those about him, could
long prevent the complete emancipation of that country from
the state of tyranny and oppression in which it was at-
tenipted to -be held—(Heir, hear, hear !)--In. Italy, also,
much had been done ; that country had nearly succeeded in
achieving its liberty, by the most desirable of all means, that
was without shedding a single drop of human blood, when in
came the slavish instruments of the Holy. Alliance, and. the bud
of freedom was nipped in its infancy. And let it he observed,
that while tide flagrant violation of the liberties of a nation was
committed,' we, Lord Londonderry and Co. the transferers and '
barterers of the liberties of Europe, stood by and applauded. ,
what was done—(Shame.)—The Honourable Member pro-
ceeded to observe, that not only without the aid of, but even in
opposition to the • wishes of our Ministers, the, brave Greeks
were making rapid strides in the sacred cause in which they had !
embeeked, and in which every honest man wished them success
—(Applause). There'was one act of Mr. Fox's life while in
power for one or two. years (and clogged as he had ever been)
during that time which gave him (Mr. Macdonald) peculiar
pleasure. He alluded to the passing of the Libel ifill ;"by
that measure Juxors were made Judges of the Law, as well as
the fact:: Let them, however, observe what was at this moment
! in agitation by the new 'Ministry of France ; with a piece of
paper which they called a Charter and which they boasted
having received from a legitimate King, they were by a sweep-
ing measure likely to destroy the interference of Juries alto-
gether in cases of libel; and if this country did not exertthein-
selves, our Constitution was also likely to undergo a material
change. They were at present represented badly enough,
but if they did not look about -them, they would, hi a short
time, have no representation at all, but would be goVerned
by the point of the sword.—(llcar, hear!)—These were his
opinions;
.and he would say, that unless they came forward and
exerted themselves manfully, the game was up. He hoped,
however, that they would exert themselves, and that their ex-
ample would be followed not only by the neighbouring coun-
ties, but by every county in England—(Applause.)—He begged
pardon for having trespassed so far upon the attention of the
Meeting, and returned his sincere thanki for the honour they
had done him in drinking his health.
Mr. HONV WOOD being called upon by the Noble Chair-
man, sung "-Give me Death or Liberty," with great applause.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE seid, that they had last year-
given a toast, wishing the dismissal of Ministers. But now
they felt that a change of men, without a change of measures,
would be useless. There were, indeed, some partial changes
taking place in the Administration, but the public would not
be benefited by, though they would have to pay for them ; for
he understood, that by. Act of Parliament, a retired Minister
was entitled to a certain pension. Oh ! for a Reform in Par-
liament-to relieve'us from this,- among other grievances ! Ile
wished that those gentlemen who so applied for pensihs, were
obliged to furnish an account of the services they had rendered
to the public while in office. He feared it would be somewhat
similar to an account sent in by a farrier, which ran thus—
" To curing your horse till he died, so much - (A laugh ;")
for a Minister-might say—" Item, to weathering (read-gather-
ing) the storm, 30001. a-year.—(Laughing.)eaThe Noble Lord
concluded by moving the following toast, which was received
with loud applause—" May all corrupt advisers of the Crown
meet their just punishment in die general execration of the
country:"
The next toast was, " Mr. Lennart!, the Member for Ips-
wich, who last year moved the Repeal of -the atrocious Six
A ets.—(Applause.)
- Mr. LENNARD returned thanks for the honour which
die Noble Chairman and . the Meeting heal done him. lf his
Honourable Friend, Mr. Macdonald, had been at a loss for
topics upon which to address them, how much more so must
he be, coming after the eloquent address delivered by that
Gentleman. He would, however, offer a few observations
upon the subject which they all had so much at heart.—
The Honourable Member proceeded to point out shortly •
the cause of the-existing distresses, and contended that a re-
duction of taxation (which could only be effected by a Reform
in Parliament) was the only efficient remedy which could be ap-
, plied, lie wished not to-have the burden of distress taken from
• them to be placed upon the shoulders of others. To give relief
there must be a change both of men and measures, and neither
the one nor the. other could be expected from the House of.

Comitions, constititted as it was at present. The tionntitatie,
Member, in alluding to his motion last year for the iepeal 0'
the late notorious Acts, expressed his surprise at hating been
so feebly supported. Indeed, his motion excited no mere at:
tendon than a common Turnpikelroad Bill; and were it not for
the able speech of Mr. Dennian;-: whose assistance whenever
given was most powerful, there would not have been any (lir
cuSsion whatever upon the qu,.!stion—(Crlos. of shame !)—rz.e
should not,• however, be deterred either by the sneers of 111:
enemies, or the desertion. of his friends, from performing wits
he conceived to be his.duty.— (A nplause.)
.Song--" Bacchus, Gild of sparkling wine."
The next toast.was—" A speedy Repeal of the Six Act's."--'
(Applause.)
The Earl of ALBEMARLE proposed—" The Health
Ridley Colburne, a Gentleman whose exertions in Parliament
deserved their warmest approbation ?"
Mr. R. COLBEJRNE, in returning, thanks, assured th,Ci
Meeting, that he warmly and strongly participated in the
ings and opinions expressed by the Gentlemen who prece.
him, however feebly he might be able to express his.approb,
don of them. ,

„ .
The following toasts were then drank with wily:Amens AP*--
phius :
.” Earl Grey, anti. our Friends throughoufEngland, who_ad:
here to the principles of -Mr. Fox, belieVing them to be bow
calculated to promote the happiness and welfare of our FellW:
Countrymen."
" The Liberty of the Press—the best bulwark of our Liberty.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE said, he had now t& propose 3
toast which he gave with mixed feelings of satisfaction and re:-
get. Ile was pleased to toast the rian, butjie was. sorry he was
not present. He meant Sir F. Burdett—(Loud cheering.)---0
believed he had authority for stating, that-the Hon. .Barnr'''
would have been present, were it not that he was detained at
Bath by a fit of the gout. With respect to Sir F. Burdett, to
begged to say a word or two. He was ready to admit,: that
and his friends had dißred with the Honourable Baronet or'
some points, -but upon those points they were now agreed-'
(Bear, hear I)—And how ? Was it by any base or .unniardl
compromise of principle ? No. Was it by any. dirty shift;
ting arrangement by which they could benefit theinserVeil !;
—No, by no means. It was because the time .was
when all opposers of a corrupt and extravagant Govern-
ment must agree—(Cheers.)—They had agreed, becausz
union was necessary to savc the remnant of their liberties al
properties— (Cheers.)—They had agreed, • because they wishe.
to 'see the Constitution restored to its purity; because t!°l
saw the necessity of a change in the Administration.; beca:o4
they saw that this change could only be effected by a Refori3
in Parliament.—(Cheers.)—Having agreed upon thesegr''''„l
points, all -minor 'considerations went for nothing.. They felt
that all the great opposers of a' corrupt Administration mos'
unite in the main and vital points of Opposition.— (Applause.)
The Noble Chairman concluded by giving, " Sir 1. Burdett ;
and may the opposers of a. corrupt Government be united inon!,
principle for the common good.' ..-(This toast was 'received whir
enthusiastic applause.)
Mr. E. TA YLOR read a letter from 'Sir F. Burdett, in
which the- llon..Baronet lamented his being prevented by a ut.
of the gout from attending the meeting, and expressing his fug
concurrence in .the objects for which they were assembled.
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The health of Mr. Fowler,
their Deputy Chairman:7 _

• Mr. V01;1( LER -returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN said, . he could not conclude that Meet"
ing without-expressing his opinion of the late condo:it:of .0""
nisters, in introducing that odious Bill - of. Pains and Penalties
against her late Majesty.—.(llear, hear.!)-The Noble Earl,
after some further observations in condemnation of this measure'
obser ved,.that Ministers had this year•gone a step further, they
had dismissed Sir R. Wilson, an Officer equally remarkable fot
.11s gallantry and • humanity, without even an accusation.--
(Shame)—lle did not, mean to-dispute the prerogative of .01°
Crown. He did not know that it was not fitting to dismiss the
Gallant General from the -ser vice. He ,(Lord.A.) did not knoo
either the offence he had committed, or the defence he had w
make. But it was for- this very reason That .he objected to 3
condemnation and punishment without trial.—(''hear, hear !)-----"
He maintained that it was an arbitrary and oppreisiVc act, „'r,
savoured Much of desuotism. Ile concluded by giving "
health of Sir Robert ilson, and may the:English soldier neve'
forget his.rights and duties as a eitiz.nn"—(Loud applause.)
The health of Lord. Suffield was next-proposed; it wl'4 re"
ceived with loulcheering, and drunk with three 'times three.
The Duke of SUSSEX said, he had to proppAq toast;
Which he had given when he last had the 'plea'sure
.thern on the. celebration of Mr. Fox's memory. The- .oftef4,l.
he frequented. this meeting the better he liked, it, 'as it let /10
see that in Norfolk, at least, there were to be. found a bray!,
Yeomanry, who had spirit to stand up - and defend theftrights and liberties —(C heers.)—There might be a- ne01:
bouring county a set of persons called Yeomanry, bat t°)'
were not like the Yeomanry of Norfolk ; for if they were, the
public would never have heard of the disgraceful scenes
took-place at Manchester on the Itith of August—Wear
Some (4ex-tam-nen had attributed the introduction of the Jri;
Six Acts to our connection with the Holy Alliance. be
cautioned them whenever they found a new larr about to

away the liberty of- the •Foreigner they paved the way for tIY

he wished to say a word or two upon a report now afioatirespe.L'
ing the introduction of a Property Tax.: 'He cautioned then'
against any such tax. 11-e for one wOuld, fight it foot by foot
(Applause.)—And Why? II is reason was shortly this, 03'1,
the Act was once passed in any shape, the principle of its jostt.
would be admitted.- It was a most unfortunate thing- that
friAlds when in power had increased this pir Tentage upon t!=-.

The healths Of Sir T. Beevor, the Stewards, and the
mittee of Management., were drank, and Sir T. Beevor
E. Taylor.retunied thanks..
" The Rights of the People" was then drank With loud al'"
plause. After which• •
The Earl of ALBEMARLE expressed his regret at having
nowcome to the last toast. lie was sure, however, that it
one which would be received with the greatest posible plei4tre;
by every' Gentlemen present. The toast was " The Ladies "'

The Noble Chairman, attended by his supporters, withdrevf
at one o'clock, and the remainder of the Gentlemen quittedtli:
