NORWICII.

Yesterday a meeting of the citizens of Norwich,
convened by the mayor in consequence of a very
numerously-signed requisition, was held in the
Guildhall "for the purpose of taking into considc-
rmion the best means of affording relief to the suf-
fering Europeans in India uho.,e lives have not
been taken by the native mutineers, but by whose
conduct they are rendered entirely de,titute."

Mr. R. Chamberlain, the mayor, took the chair,
and wBs suppor'e.i by the Lord Bishop of Nor wick,
-Sir Wm. Forster, Bart., Sir R. J. Harvey, Sir S.
Bignold, Mr. J. 11. Gurney, M.P., Professor Sedg-
wick, the-Archdeacon of Norwich., and a large num-
b. r of the leading inhabitants of the city and neigh-
bourhood. It was the moat numerous and tho most
influential meeting which has been held in Norwich
for many years. •

The MAYOE,, in opening the proceedings, read a
let'er from th; Lord Mayor of London, inviting co-
operation in the work of assising cur suffering
fellow-countrymen and countrywomen in Ind,a.
He remarked that the Lord Mayor had expressed
a hope that the towns throughout England
would follow the example of the city of L mdou.
Teat Norwich would b 3 among the first t render
the assistance required, he (the mayor) had not the
shadow of a doubt. (Hear.)
The Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Pp...1:LA.34, Bishop
of Norwich, rose to move the first resolntion, which
:tilirmed that the meeting, re,,,ardieg with strong
feelings of abhorrence the nautny among the native
troops and the cruelties they had. inflicted, expre.sed
its warmest sympathy with the sufferers in their
distress, and while trusting to Ged for their deli-
verance, approved of the suggestion for rasing funds
for their immediate relief. His Lordship remarked
that throughout the length and braelth of the land
there was not a person who did not feel the deepest
interest in the events which were new, going on in
India, and which had burst so unexpectedly upon
this country. For centuries England and Fran, o
had been looked upon and had looked upon one an-
other as hostile countries ; but now a step had been
taken by the Emperor—au addition to many aces
of friendship he had performed—which showed that
he considered there should Le a reciprocity of iu-
terost between thetwo countries; that there should
te a co-operation and harmony which would form a
strong contrast to the state of things in times gone
by. (Rear.) The remarkable man who was placed
at the head of that great country had. sent over at
the eirliest moment the munificent donation of
1,0001. towards the relief of our suffering fellow coun-
trymen and countrywomen, —au act of kindness
which he was sure the people of England would
not soon forget. (Cheers.) He (the bishop) be-
lieved that the moral influence of these united sub-
scriptions would be very great, and that it would
tend very greatly to strengthen the arms of the
collected forces we were sending out in putting
down the rebellion, showing, as it did,the sympathy
not only of this country, but of foreigners with the
sufferers, and their horror of the conduct of the
mutineers. He believed it would also tend very
materially to strengthen the Government of India
iu the critical circumstances in which it was at pre-
sent placed.
Mr. R. SEAMAN, sheriff of the city of Norwich,
seconded the resolution and handed to the mayor a
cheque for 501. in aid of the subscription.
The resolution was carried without a dissentient
voice. _

Mr. J. H. GURNEY, M.P., moved the next reso-
lution, which expressed au opinion that, though
the East India Company would make a liberal pro-
vision out of their funds for the relief of the exist-
ing distress, there would be many sufferers unpro-
vided for who would have a strong claim upon the
gerrmosity of the English public at home, and that
a committee to collect subscriptions should there-
fore be formed. The lion. gentleman announced
his intention of subscribing 2001. towards the fund
—an announcement which was received with loud
cheers.

The Bishop of Norwich subscribed 25/. towards
the fund, and nearly all the gentlemen who were
on the platform followed his example.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Only a limited supply of English wheat has come to
band this week, coastwise, and the vtrivals fresh up to-
day by land carriage were small. Owing, in some mea-
sure, to the prevailing wet weather, the samples wore not
in first-rate condition, and the attLnia,nce of millers was
far from numerous. The demand may, however, be con-
sid(red steady at Monday's improvement in value.
The show of foreign wheat was good. Most kinds moved
off slowly ; nevertheless, the quotations were well sup-
ported.
There was a fair inquiry for floating carges of grain off
the coast.
Barley was in steady request at full quotations ; but
malt net a dull inquiry.
Good sound oats ware firm in price ; but damp Russian
qualities gave way 61 per quarter.
Beans, peas, and flour were firm at extreme rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was moderately supplied with beasts,
both as to number and quality. Nearly all breeds met a
slow inquiry at Monday's decline in the quotations. Prime
Down sh,:ep were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwise,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. Lambs--the
show of which was not extensive—were dull, and lower to
purchase. Calves moved off slowly, at barely late rates ;
but pigs commanded more attention. In mach cows very
little was doing.
