atholic
meetings, one in St. John's Maddermarket, erected within the last thirty
years, the other in St. Swithins lane, of longer standing, and much
smaller. A French church in Queen-street, near Tombland, and the Dutch
church, so called, from having been formerly used by a Dutch congregation
adjoining St. Andrew's hall, but which is now used for the poor belonging
to the workhouse. Two Quakers' meetings, one of which is in St.
Augustine's Parish, on the south side the Gildencraft, which is a strong
brick building with a large burying-ground; the other in the Goat-lane,
near the market-place, which is much smaller and more generally attended.
There are several other places of worship, used by the Protestant
Dissenters, of which, that belonging to the Unitarians is by far the most
elegant. It is an octangular building supported within-side by eight
elegant Corinthian Pillars. The pews are wainscot, the cieling is an
ornamented dome, and the effect of the whole, is remarkably striking.
The first stone of the Building was laid, by the celebrated Dr. Taylor,
on the 25th of February, 1754. The expence of the building which was
near 5000. pounds was defrayed by the congregation, who can number among
their Ministers, several of great literay celebrity, in particular Dr.
John Taylor, Dr. Enfieid, Mr. Bourne, and Mr. George Morgan.

The Independents' meeting-house, stands a little to the east of the
foregoing, in the parish of St. Clement's: it is a large handsome square
building, and was finished about 1693. The limits of this design will
not admit of a particular enumeration of all the places of worship,
belonging to the various congregations of Anabaptists, Methodists, &c. of
which there are many, chiefly in the northern part of the city.

The Excise-office, is at the Bull, in Magdalen-street. The
Permit-office, in St. Peter's Hungate, opposite the Church. The
Stamp-office, St. Giles's Broad street, I. H. Cole, Esq. Receiver.

The Post-office is in the Tuns' court, near the market-place, where the
Mails arrive from London, every forenoon, (Monday excepted), between and
12 o'clock, and are dispatched every afternoon, (Saturday excepted), at
four o'clock; the Mails from all the intermediate places branching upon
the London road, arrive and are dispatched at the same time every day.
The Mail to Yarmouth, is dispatched immediately after the arrival of the
Mails from London, and the Mail from Yarmouth, arrives here every
