PARISH OF .11.1: B.IINTS, POPLAR.

A very numerous and respectable Meeting of the I
Parishioners of All Saints. Poplar, was lately held
a the Town-llall, to vote an Address to the Queen.
A requisition, signed by fifty-seven inhabitant house-
'udders. had }wen presented to the Churchwardens and
Overseers of th parish, requesting them to convene aII
Meeting on an e tr:y day, for the purpose of consider-
ing the propitety of voting the Address proposed.
On receiving the request, the Churrhwardens and
0 rrrrr ers desired that one of the requisitionists might
wait upon them, and that they might have an oppor-
tunity of seeing the resolutions proposed to be moved,
in case the Meeting was held. In reply to this de-
mand, twenty-five of the requisiti bets, with the con-
currence of the rest, informed the. Parish-Officers
that the resolutions would he forthcoming when
they were convinced a meeting would lw convened, and
till then, they considered the demand premature and
unprecedented. The request fur an early answer to
the requisition was repeated; hut, instead of that,
else Cherchwartiens and Overseers thought proper to
send the reptisitionivs a reference to a meeting of the
Trustees of the Parish. This attempt, however, to
extinguish the design of the parishioners proved en-
tirely abortive. A motion being made at the Town
Sleeting, it was carried. The use of the Town•hall
was allowed, notwithstanding no advice to that effect
was sent to the requisitionists; and at a numerous
meeting, attended by the most respectable portion of
the parishioners (with the exception of the Church-
wardens, Overseers, the Itctor, and two or three in-
dividuals), the address to her Majesty, which had
been proposed, was unanimously agreed to. Tbis Ad•
dress, voted on the 13th ult. and presented on the
IStli, received 2295 most respectable signatures. and
would probably have hail thrice as many, had not an
expectation been entertained in the parish, that her
Majesty's accusers were surfeited, and would drop the
Bill of Pains and Penalties.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sunset, aerqui-
!Denied by souse Lalies, on last Monday ereni:ig,
honoured Sir Godfrey and Lady Webster with A vial
at Battle Abbey. Ills Royal flighners was ilirs,sn
into the town by the populace, amidst the most affec-
tionate greeting 4 of the multitude. The church hells
were set a ringing, the Abbey guns fired it royal sa-
lute, and the gr.ind hall of the splendid mansios was
illuminated on the joyful occasion.

LONDON:
ERI/REDAT EVENING, NOVEMBER 9.

Paris papers to the 7th inst. have arrived this morn-
ing : their contents are unimportant.

The intense anxiety of the people of every rank in
the Metropolis to-day, respecting the expected deci-
sion on the Bill of Pains and Penalties, continues in
suspense. In the House of Lords this morning, after
))))) e preliminary proceedings, Lord SOA►TESRCRT
brought up the Report of the Committee. A long
and diversified discussion then ensued, but the Report
sees finally received without any division. When this
important business was disposed of, a variety of too-
lions followed from several Noble Members of no small
degree of interest, hut without any ultimate effect.
'flee first was a motion of Lord C)) AA VON, as an
amendment to the Preamble of the Bill, that the re-
fusal of her MAJass. of the annual income of 50,0001.,
and the proffered honour of both Houses of Parlia-
ment brought disgrace and dishonour upon the Royal
Family. The next motion was that of Lord lima, that a
clause should be inserted in the Bill, declaring that the
Milan Commissioners should Le for ever rendered inca-
pable of holding any employment ; and the other was that
of Lord lies lost, that the Divorce Clause should be
expunged from the Bill. These several motions were
negatived without a division ; and the House, at
twelve o'clock, adjourned till the usual hour to-morrow
morning.

Had the public mind been less occupied than it
at present is with the vast variety of circumstances
connected with the extraordinary proceedings before it,
the attendance of a Wats, on such an ueea•sion as that
which on Tuesday induced her MaJerrt to •isit the
House of Lords, would have excited the moat striking
and affecting sensations. To have seen her SlAJtsrv,
who had been so many years the object of the most
harrowing persecution, who had more than once tri-
umphantly defeated the machinations of her enemies,
now, at length, in danger of becoming the victim of
their artful and persercting malignity, with the no-
minal decision against her of that tribunal in which
her accusers sat as Judges, and over which the in-
fluence of hint whose object of aversion she we'. POS.
Ittned predominatini sway, to have seen her proceed
I to the hut of that As‘enilily, and protest against their
decision, and declare her innocence of the crime with
which she hail been charged, was a spectacle calenlated
to produce the 'most profound emotions of admiration and
concern. It is consistent with fiat character of con-
scious integrity, and magnanimity, which, amidst the
',ferret trials, she has displayed ; and under the fur-

THE QUEEN.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Titts Ifoavivs.

A long and uninteresting conversation took phi
at the table, upon a motion to suspend the steed►
ing order of the Douse respecting the signatures
to Protests. The result of the conversation
was, the suspension of the order fur the purpose of
enabling Lords Holland, Erskine, and Ell nboroeth,
Visrount Bolingbroke, and the Earls of Darn-
ley. and Minto, to sign the several Protests
which have been tendered against the Bill of •Pains
and Penalties. We should state, that, in the course
of this conversation, the Lord Chancellor made a joke;
(s imething about the gout, we believe, with refereno
to Lord liollaud's illness,) but it was toe refined for
vulgar understandings, though it produced a hearty
laegh among the Noble Lords.
The amendments of the Bill were then read over,
and when the correction about the various places, hi
which the monosyllable the was thrown out, was read,
Lord ELLESBOHOI.6II rose, he said, merely t)
say one n ord. lie said that many Noble Lords had
voted for the second !Tailing of the Bill under the
impression that it should undergo material modifi-
cations ; and as the only alteration that he could dis-
cover was, that the word the had been thrown unt,
those Noble Lords who bad voted under that impres-
sion, would now feel themselves obliged to vote
against the third reading, having found all their
hopes disappointed.—(Loud cheers.)

Lord Cii*DRIID.S.LE rose, for the purpose of
warning Nub'e I.ords against that most ex:raorilinary
conduct. which they must hare observed. They bad
heard a certain Noble Lord (alluding to Lord tirey.)
declare, that his motive for voting for the Divorce
Clause, was, fur the purpose of sinking the Bill.
It was for Noble Lords to consult their consciences,
wheth:•r they should lend their aid to such a trick and
oraticeuvra.
Lord OBEY rose, with the utmost indignation, is
repel the tow, unjust, and malicious calumnies that
had been levelled against him. lie thought that
Noble Lord knew him too well to suspect he
was capable of a trick and uraiissurre. He bad
boldly expressed his opinion on that ground, and
the motives that induced hiw to give that vote, and hr
thought fair and open conduct of that kind was env-
' Bed to any thing hut the appellation of a trick. Bat
what should the !loose thiuk of that trick, which held
oat hopes fur the purpose of getting votes, which they
never realised. lie therefore repelled the foul charge
with indignation 'lnd disdain, and he was almost induced
to use a harsher expression. But he would now
say of the thing itself, that nothing was more
usual in parliamentary debates, than when an
judicious measure was introduced to endeavour to
dog it with other matter. But he had early in
the coarse of these pro..eedings, eMiressini his °Pi.
ition on the Divorce Clause. Fur he thought that
if they degraded the Queen, it would be the met
anomalous and extraordinary measure still to let
'lee remain the wife of the king. tie was pr -
pared to argue the point, but that necessity was ob-
viated by the opinions atilt- Her. Prelates. The greatest
' litlicalty hr felt, was the coui se he should pursue, feeling
is he conscieotiously did, that the charges against the
Queen bad not been made out.-4Lond eheers.)—And
those Noble Lords, who did him the honour of correct,
ing hint on the subject, knew that he did Slot intellei
