NORFOLK COUNTY MEETING.

Saturday last was appointed by the High
Sheriff for holding the County Meeiing, to eorc_
an Address. of Condolence to his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent, on the demise of our late
Queen, his Royal Mother. The 11 gli Shetiff did
not take the Chair until near one o'clock, he hay-
ing waited a very considerable time for the Noble-
.inen and Gentlemen who signed the Requisition.
After the Under-Sheriff had read the adveciise-
ntent for enlivening the Meeting, the High Sheriff
opened the business.
Mr. N. B. PALMER then rose, and was com-
mencing to address the High Sheriff, when lie
was interrupted by the Hon. Colonel IVodelionse,
who claimed precedence, it having been arranged,
before he came thither, that he was to move the
Address. The sense of the Meeting, however,
being decidedly in favour of Mr. Paltrier continu-
ing, he Made some severe remarks on the impro-
priety of sending a Requisition to the High Sheriff,
►igned by only seven names, four Lords, one Ho-
nourable, and two 'Squires, all professed supporters
of the Ministry. lie therefore had great pleasure
in moving an Address which emanated from the
Yeomanry. Ater a► few remarks, Mr. Palmer con-
cluded by reading an Address, which was couched
in language most admirable and most becoming--
worthy of a tree people to offer, and of a great
Prince to accept.

Mr. Atclidelcon BATnuitsT seconded the Ad-
dres in a speech alike honourable to his heel and
heart.

The lion. Colonel WoostrousE then proposed
his Address, as an amendment ; and atter some
delay, it was ieconded by T. Cubits, Esq. of
Honing.
The High Sheriff took a show of bands on the
amendment, and then on the original Address ;
and'endeavoured as near as possible to ';nuns the
numbers on each, which appeared to him so equ,d,
that he was tunable to decide which was cart ied.
A desultory conversation followed, which lab( ed.
mote than an hour. Mr. Archdeacon Bathurst,
Mr. Palmer, Colonel Wodehouse,
and Mr. C. Harvey, took the principal share in it ;
during which atternws were made to a compro.
wise, by acing out the concluding paragraph of
the original Address, on ;Account of its alluding
to the necessity of an amelioration and revision 01
our Criminal Code; which, alt It on g h most pre-
sent allowed the necessity or, yet deprecAted
its intruductiowiuto an Address of CothfuleGce.

t. twittT prOposed that both Ad:iressei
should be lett for signature.—Col. WoDE.llot,sr,,
however, signified his determination not to with.-
draw the Aniendine»t ; and atter t,ome further loio
of time, tie Meeting was dissolved (thanks having
first been moved to the High Sheriff, and carried
by acclamation), witboot any decision being
come to on the purport of the Meeting.
The Hon. Colonel declared that it was an.ab*
surdity to suppo'se that ►he sense of the County
could be taken at a Meeting in the Shire Halle
and retired with his friends, expressing their id'
tention of signing their own Address, and for•
warding it to Carlton house.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CIRCULATING FALSE NEWS.

litekv-StnEET.—Vester4l“y Tiios. Love and Thos.
Howlett were chaft,,,,d with making a disturb•
mice in Chelsea, and circulating false news of
most lion id nal ui e.

It appeared that the prisoners had alarmed the
inhabitants of Chelsea yesterday morning, by the
blowing of horns, which excited the attention of
liockeridge, the pat lute who resides at Chel,ea.
The Prisoners :vere blo,ving then horns opposite
to the house in tt HA be resides ;a:moot-icing "The
full. true, and particular acconot of the‘mast cruel
and barbarous murder of Mr. Ellis, ofSloane-street,
which took place last night in the Five Fields, (Aid,-
sea." Buckeridge knowing .hat no such horrid
event had taken plat e, seized one of them, when
the• other ran but was -pursued and
takeu. The papers in their possession, which
they bad been selling at a halAienny each, were
seized and -brMieht rot his :Ace ii tLe ptlsOiser9,
wizen they-underwent a ION; examination before
flteks,,wbo, oo.reatiiogthe papers found •
apt ii tbein, observed, that their condoct appe;l red
to he gross and infamous, as their contents proved
not tolhave -slightest allusion to the Stippo,eti
lOU rde r of Mr. Ellis, but :elated to an invetved
murder, which, if true, would have been of the
most dreadful nature, and to the greatest extent
t!,at ever disgraced the blank catalogue of crimes.
The account, were headed in large letters, "
llorrit! Murder," which was stated to 1183;6
been committed it South-green, near Dartford,
On the bodies of Timm ts Lane, his wile, three
children, and his mother. The murderers were
stated to have entered the house of Mr. Lane,
in South Green, last night, between the hours
of ten and twelve, without mentioning any
date. Upon inquiry in the Office, no saCII
rid murders had been heard of, and no dpubt
was enter !Hilted but that the whole was a fabri'
cation. . It was discovered that these composi-
tions issued from the same press, as did an ibilatn.
matory bill, a few months since, which collected.
several crowds, and much disturbance ensued in
consequence, in the ncighbourhoood of
Market, respecting a -pork-butcher in that tinily
bow hood. .
The Magistrate now severely censtired the con'
duct ot'tiie parties, in circulating such statements,
tending to considerable mischief. lie ordered the
prisoners to be detained; and considered them to
be proper subjects to be made Ka exturphr. of, for
the nuisance of the blowing of horns.
