PARINI OF PADDINGTON- Yesterday upwards of 8,000 of the Inhabitants of Paddington assembled upon Paddington-green, for the purpose of voting an Address to the Queen. A very extensive range of seats was erected in the middle of the Green for the accommodation of the Ladies, who attended in great trouthen, and were udoutted to the husfisigs with tickers. The seats forint...4l u semicircle, noel intoledtately before them were the hustings. at which Ow conductors all ap peared soon sf!er one o'clock: There were amongst th e number, Sir Gerard No-1, M.P., Peter Moore, Esti.

The Restitution was carried unarrimourlr. Mr.l'...Mooaa moved the second Resolution, which warmly praised her Maje.ty's iefuaal of the bribe offered to her, and her heroism in dosregard log the threats.

The Chancellor sat quietly upon his IVonlsack, waiting foe the. signal from Mi nisters, and one Noble Lord_said do this, and an other do that, and all received the character of Judges.

A great writer had said, that upon great public occasions the soice of the people was always right. This was a case of that kind. 'l'llol.. distressing and calamitous pro ceedings had loosed the people, and Ministers would willingly give up all - their inflames' and pa tronage upon condition of being divorced from that Bill. Their Leirdshipt pretended to be yews hated by the Couriat below, and they had applied to the Judges to give their misiotance ; but there was another Court, that of Doctors' Commons. which must be engrafted on the Bill.
