5.--Died, aged 32, Mr. John Charles Beckwith, organist of the Cathedral
and of St. Peter Mancroft church, Norwich. His remains were interred on
the 11th in a grave beside that of his late father beneath the organ loft
of St. Peter's church. Mr. Z. A. Buck was, on the 9th, appointed
Cathedral organist and master of the choristers, and on the 13th Mr.

Mancroft.
16.--The East Dereham and London Telegraph coach was advertised by John
Leverett and Co. It started from the Cherry Tree Inn every Sunday,
Tuesday, and Thursday at 6.30 a.m., and travelled by Shipdham and Watton
to the King's Head, Thetford, to meet the Norwich Telegraph. The Dereham
Telegraph then proceeded to the Woolpack Inn and the Angel Inn at Bury
St. Edmund's, whence it returned to Thetford on the following day and met
the Norwich Telegraph on its return from London, and arrived at Dereham
the same evening at nine o'clock. On Saturday the Dereham Telegraph ran
to Norwich and back.
25.--The Duke of Wellington passed through Norwich on his way to
Blickling Hall. On changing horses at the Angel Inn he was warmly
cheered by the crowd.
29.--Pursuant to requisition a county meeting was held at St. Andrew's
Hall, Norwich, on adjournment from the Shirehouse in consequence of the
excessive crowd, to "take into consideration the transactions which
unfortunately took place at Manchester on August 16th." The High Sheriff
(Sir William Windham Dalling) presided, and resolutions were passed
asserting the right of Englishmen to meet for the purpose of petitioning,
and demanding a Parliamentary inquiry into the transactions. It was also
decided to present an address to the Prince Regent. A declaration,
previously published, was signed by the Lord Lieutenant and upwards of
1,000 other noblemen, gentlemen, clergy, and freeholders, expressing
their reasons for dissenting from the meeting as tending to prejudice the
public mind against the magistrates and military.
