7.--Intelligence was received of the battle of Trafalgar, which was
fought on October 21st, and of the death of Nelson. "The bells were rung
and fired throughout the day, but all the joy that would have arisen from
the victory was wholly absorbed in sorrow and regret for the death of the
Hero of the Nile and Trafalgar." Great rejoicings afterwards took place,
and addresses of congratulation to his Majesty were unanimously voted by
the Corporations of Norwich, Yarmouth, Lynn, &c.
30.--A county meeting was held at the Shirehall, Norwich, when an address
to his Majesty on the victory of Trafalgar was agreed to. It was also
resolved to open a subscription for erecting a memorial to perpetuate the
memory of Lord Nelson's victories.
