Petitions were last night presented in the House of Peers from the Clergy of Bury St. Edmund's against the Church Reform. The worthy Clergy think the Establishment perfect ; how can it be otherwise, seeing, according to Bishop PHILPOTTS, that it is a direct legacy from the Apostles. To questions put by Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Viscount MELBOURNE answered that the papers connected with China would be laid before the House as soon as pos - sible ; that he did not apprehend any message would be sent down with those papers, and that he was not prepared to say whether any engagement had been entered into with the East India Company as to the share it was to take with the Government in the expense of an expe dition against China. The late vote of thanks to the Indian army was altered on the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, SO as to include by name Brigadier-General WILLSHIRE, and the troops under his order who captured Kelat. In reply to the Earl of ABERDEEN, Viscount MEL BOURNE admitted that some suspicion had been cast on the authorities of Herat. Viscount STRANGFORD withdrew his motion concern ing :be state of trade with Africa, because he w as not, when he announced it, aware of its extent and importance. A considerable number of petitions were presented in the Commons, many of which were for a repeal of the Corn lave, some for the relief of the She r iff s , some against the intrusion ministers into the Ki r k o f Scotland, some fo r of Church extension, some again s t Church-rates, &c'. Notices of motions we re given, by Mr. EWART to death by Mr. nt for• SHAW, of abolish the punishment !~~ "zi - I`; k,'.."4-1-3f4.! .4i amendments in the Irish Corporation Act ; and by Mr. BAIN Es, concerning first fruits and tenths. A return was ordered of the sums paid by Govern ment offices on account of postage, on the motion of Mr. GOULEUR:q. Mr. Fox ,MAULE moved for a new writ for Perth shire, in the. room of Viscount STORMONT, now Earl of MANSFIELD. This motion, which appears a matter of course, was hotly opposed by the Tories, on the ground that Lord STORMONT was not yet called to the House of Peers, that his legitimacy was laot yet proved, that in other cases, as in that of the Earl of SCARBOROUGH, the writ had not been issued till he was summoned to the Hous•S of Peers, and as .in that of Lord DURS LEY, whose claim to be Earl Of BERKELEY, was rejecte*l, the writ of summons never was issued at all, and on all these accounts the Tories contended that the House ought not to set a bad precedent, and therefore moved that the debate be ad journed till Monday. On the side of the Whigs it was contended, and with high authority, that Viscount STORMONT had, by the death of his father, become a Scotch Peer, and that he, as such, could not sit in the House of Commons, and would incur a penalty if he did so. After a short, smart debate, the motion to issue the writ was carried by 165 to 136. In reply to Sir RO 'MET PEEL, Viscount PALMER siroN stated tht the unanimous intention of the Five Powers was to maintain the integrity as well as the in dependence of the Otton ian empire, and the question would be s.Atl.7d es soon as compatible with the inte rests of the diff,!rent parti es. In reply to Captain B.:EaKELEY, Mr. M. OTERRAL stated that the Mediterranean flea was on the peace establishment. Viscount SANDON rn , .rved an Address to her MA JESTY, for a Commis.don to investigate the claims of British subjects on th e Portuguese Government. Viscount PALMERSTO N was inclined to agree in the justice of mmy of the olaims on the Portuguese Go vernment, and had at first - wished to wait its spontane- ous justice, but had Istoly pressed on it to appoint a Commission, half Portuguese and half English, to sit in London to investigate thin i. If it did not, the Ministers would address the Crown :to appoint a Commission. After a few words fro'ns several Members, Viscount SANDON withdrew his cnotion, being for the present sltisfied to wait the result. 'of the course adopted by the Government. Some of' the Members eompla:ned of the trouble and expense of sending votes.. They are obliged to send them from the House or pay, which the ei-devanl (rankers do not like. Mr. WARBURTON, knowing what would be the consequet is e of yielding, exhorted the Chancellor of the Exche q . ner resolutely to adhere to his plan. Sir MATTHEW WOOD as ked Lord J. RUSSELL whe ther, as the writ of inqui ry in STOCEDALE'S case was postponed for two months,. the Sheriff was to be kept in confinement all that time Lord JOHN RUSSELL rf commended the Sheriff to apply to the House in a _regular manner, by petition. The assertions that were made on the occasion, that Mr. HUME was thrown or it of a chair at the Free masons' Tavern yesterday, and that the Under-Sheriff had come in with a rioto us mob, excited some merri ment in the House. In a Committee of Su Triply, Mr. MoRE O'FERRAL brou4 - ht forward the Navy :Estimates. The Hon. Gen- Veman, in a concise business -like speech, explained the different items of the estin iu tes. Sir GEORGE CLERK di d not oppose the vote, but wished for further discussic on, and entered into a variety of details as to the dispositi on and efficiency of our fleet, the number of ships we ha( 1, and other countries had, both now and in former tii nes. He referred the in crease required in the nun iber of men to the policy of the Government, but acquiesced in the vote. Mr. MORE O'FERRAL, in a brief reply, stated that the condition of our ships was most satisfactory, and that England couli, in a g iven time, send a much larger fleet to sea tt (en any other Power, and nearly as large as any two Powers. We believe this is true as to. the number of ships, but how men could be got no person can tell. So unjust and horrible has been our „policy towards our seamen, that they never will enter .the navy, and to impress them again will be impossible. As to officers also, we have plenty of them—too n is ny—for the sons and rela tions of the aristocracy are: quartered on the navy as another Pension List ; but we do not believe that we abound in efficient officers- Promotion has been so slow, because the list is so. long, that it is thirty-four years since our youngest Mr airal was made a Captain, so that the youngest of .our Admirals verges on sixty years of age—an age to retire and be nursed, not to command fleets. So the majority of captains entitled to comman d line-of-battle ships are old men, and whatever may be ate state of our naval mate rid, our personnel, we are rafraid, is not flattering. The State has done something l'or the wood and iron of the navy, nothing for the officekm, and it has been like a pestilence to the men. Mr. HUME regretted to see the concord on both sides of the House in voting money, and objected to our whole policy, which kep'.: up in peace a war esta blishment. The Hon. Member entered at some length into the Eastern question, and disapproved of the con, duct of the Ministers. Lord INGESTRIE compared our navy to that of France, and stated that our best men go, as usual, to the United States. Admiral ADAM, Captain A'CouRT, and Sir THOMAS COCHRANE took part in the debate, and discussed at considerable length the subject of ships and seamen. A smart discussion, tow/Ards the close of the evening, took place on our foreign policy. Viscount PALMERSTON, in consequence of the remarks of Mr. HOME and of Sir G. CLERK, was induced to enter a little into the question, and to boast of the success of Ministers. Sir ROBERT PEEL took the opportunity of attacking them, and taking up the Quadru ple Alliance, intended to establish a prepon derance in the West of Europe, the Right Hon. Baronet proceeded to show by examples that the country had no influence in Portugal, Spain, or France, while France had influence sufficient in Spain to procure an island (Port Mahon) for her own use. Fie adverted with regret to the altered state of Feeling betwixt this country and France, and attr.'outed th necessity for keping fifteen sail of the line in, or in the vicinity of, the Mediterranean, to our 'uneasy ap,)rehensions of France. The Right Hon. T Laronet spoke well ; his words were good, but his r.,enceptions were mean, and his observa tions concei,ed in a poor and palt r y s pi r it. VISCOVaIt PALMERSTON made a short, pithy, and ex cellent reply to the Right Hon. Baronet, very properly saying that his observations were of so minute a charac ter that he was, on such a question, almost ashamed to notice them ; the Right Hon. Baronet had adduced only trifling and petty details, which, however, were not in dicative of any lessened influence of England compared to the times of the Tory Administration. The Noble Viscount pointed to the success in establishing Consti tutional Governments in Portugal and Spain, in accom modating the differences between France and the United Skates, and between France and Mexico, and the having settled the Belgian question, as proofs of a successful foreign policy. He referred to our commercial treaties with Holland, Austria, and Turkey, as proofs that we had not forfeited the friend ship of our ancient allies. He denied that there was any alienation between France and England, though such alienation might be justified by the language used in Parliament, and in the Press, by the Tories. The Noble Viscount effectually vindicated his policy, and made Sir R. PEEL'S observations appear futile and petty. The Right Hon. Baronet made a smart reply, but did not attempt to get rid of the imputation of dealing in contemptible trifles. He retorted that the alienation of France was caused by writings in the Press under the control of Ministers. We may console ourselves, therefore, by the contempt statesmen sometimes heap on us by these counter-assertions of these two eminent statesmen, which imply that the Press can preserve or distract the peace of the world. After a few words from Lord SANDON and Captain PECHELL, the vote for the number of seamep was agreed to, and the House resumed. Mr. PAKINGTON persuaded the House afterwards to resolve itself into a Committee on the Beer Act, when he obtained the pro Artiza passing of a resolution which will enable him again to bring his impudent quackery of a property qualification to sell beer before the House. The HJUSC adjourned at a Quarter past One, to Monday. We yesterday drew attention to the fact, that the ungallant Post had made another attack on her MA JESTY through Prince ALBERT, and we informed our Contemporary, that if, instead of adopting the tales of lacqueys, it would consult the Principals of its party, it would learn the truth. It seems to have done so, and yesterday underwent the mortification of admitting the falsity of its statement of the previous day. It said— " It is very gratifying to us to announce that the Mem bers of the House of Commons who constituted the depu tation of that assembly, appointed to convey to Prince Al bert its congratulations on his marriage, received from his Royal Highness, on Wednesday, the most gracious eexplanavon of th e aw k war d occur rence of the pre cthitir'gthedgaye: to ad vert . gentlemen of we yesterday thought it our duty His Royal Highness expressed his regret nof the deputation should hare been TEE S y N LONDON. SATURDAY.'PEBRUARY 22,11'1840 sulpj, c'ed to any delay or inconvenience. He ascribed the mist ke which had arisen, and of which at the moment he had bean wholly unaware, to his officers; and excused it on the ground of the present imperfect constitution of his Household. The frank and cordial manner of his Royal Highness imparted to his words the power of dissipating every feeliec (had any such existed) of dissatisfaction or un easiness. The source of the embarrassment seems to have been that more than one deputation had been promised re ception at the same hour. At the moment when the Mem bers of the House of Commons ought, according to ap pointment, to have been introduced, the corps diploma tique, if We are rightly informed, were actually presenting their coitratulations to his Royal Highness." On Thursday, however, relying on the lacqueys'.in formati in, it asserted that the House of Commons had been most grossly insulted by the Prince not re ceiving its deputation. Its worthy comrogue, the Standard, which borrowed the Thursday's lie of the Post, yesterday withdrew its quotient of support to the calumny against the PRINCE, which it -had thrown in for the purpose of an noying the QUEEN, in the following words We copied cupied yesterday from a Morning Contemporary a short article, referring to the delay of his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT i❑ replying to the deputation cf the House of Commons. As upon the face of the transaction the Prince might seem chargeable with intended discourtesy, we feel it our duty to state, upon the authority of a mem. ber of the deputation, that any charge of intended discour tesy on the part of his Royal Highness would be unjust. We cannot do better than copy our informant's own words : " A mistales certainly was made, but the apology which the Prince offered to the deputation was so gentlemanlike and amiable, that every one was pleased and fully satisfied. " Justice to a Prince, as yet new to the political forms of this country, commands that the truth should be thus made public." Ire, when these false scribblers are detected and ex posed, then justice commands that they should make the truth public ; but, before that, their own love of in justice commanded that they should make f.,lsc_ hood public, as they did. Such is a specimen of Tory truth, loyalty, and love of justice RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY. The French Chamber of Deputies having, after a brief debate on Thursday, voted, by a majority of 226 votes against. 200, that it would not proceed with the discussion' of the Duke de NEreouas' Dotation Bill, the Ministry proceeded to the Palace in a bode, and placed their resignation in the hands of the KING. Had the Chamber proceeded to discuss the separate articles of the Bill seriatim, and reduced the amount of the dot ition, it was not the intention of the Cabinet to have resigned office. But the total and unqualified re jection of the Bill left them no alternative, and it must acid to the mortification of the Court that the occasion of their retirement from office should be the proposal of a grant for a member of the Royal Family. For this undisguised condemnation of a measure suggested by the KING, his MAJESTY is indebted to the sycophantic loyalty of M. AMILHAN, the Reporter of the Com mittee upon the Dotation Bill. The Courtly person age, in the ridiculousness of his zeal, chose to assert that the private property of the KINO 'was inconsider able ; and even had the audacity to assert that the Forest of Bretenil, sold to the KING in 1830 by M. LAFITTE, for ten millions of francs, did not prc. duce more for the -ast nine years than 188,570 f. a year, and that the forest itself was not worth ei g ht millions of francs. This statement called up M. LA FITTE in the course of the debate, who proved that the forest had produced 360,000 f, a year, and that he had made such improvement upon it as promised to pro :e 66,000 f. a year additional. The large timbtr in tiie fot es:, was alone valued at six millions of francs, and bad he sold it in lots instead of accepting the offer of the KING, lie could nave obtained for it at least fourteen millions of francs. M. A MILHAN replied, but his asser tions went for nothing. No Member of the Chamber could doubt the veracity of tne 'simple account given by M. LAFITTE, and, with the exception of M. ANIL.. HAN, there is hardly a man in France who would suspect him of over-reaching, or attempting to overreach, any person in a bargain, much less a man of Louts PHI LIPPE'S penetration. As this is the second time a Parliamentary provision for the Duke de NEMOURS has been rejected, the KING can hardly fail to perceive that the National Represen tatives h ive no intention of reviving the old corrupt practice of quartering the collateral branches of the Royal Family upon the public purse. It is enough to have to support the extravagance of a Court, without the cost of maintaining a swarm of Princes and Prin cesses of no use whatever to the nation. If the KING cannot provide for his children, he can procure them employments in the State by which they may provide for themselves in the same way as the younger sons of the Aristocracy. Hitherto the great value of high birth has consisted in giving the Aristocracy.. begotten a sort of conventional right to be State paupers instead of parish paupers, in common with the low born. This important feature of distinction it now begins to lose, especially in France and England. The rejection of the Dotation Bill will prove a sad blow to the KING, and what most perplex him greatly Will be the selection of a Ministry who will dare to bring it again forward in any shape. It was reported on Thursday evening that the Duke de BROGLIE had been sent for, but we hardly think that he would venture to assume the task of forming a Cabinet. M. THIERS and Count MOLE have been frequently together of late, and both have been much at the Palace. We should not be surprised to learn, in the event of a modification of the late Ministry being judged inexpedient, that the rival leaders of the 213 and 221 had shaken hands, and entered the Cabinet together. In the present complicated state of European politics we should be heartily glad to see AI. THIEns assume the direction of the Foreign Affairs of France. COURT Or BANKIWPTCY. (THIS DAY.) This is the only question of real importance in Thurs day's Journals. _ The Memorial Bordelais of the 18th, says An af fecting piece of news was spread here yesterday ; it was said that a merchant, whose family lives at Bordeaux, and his brother, who is established at Guatimala ( Mexico), who were accompanying from Magattan to the place of their residence a rich convoy of merchandise, with a nu merous escort, were attacked by banditti in the dangerous defiles between the two towns ; that after a brave defence, one was killed and the other severely wounded. The Con sul of France, it is said, continued to afford assistance to the victims.

It appeared that the solicitors of the late assig nees had sent in seven bills, amounting to the sum of three hundred and fifty pounds, of which the sum of 3051. was taxed off. The object of the present application was to replace the items in the bills which had been disallowed on taxation. The first bill amounted to 1931. 2s. 3d., of which 1501. 7s. 91 had been struck off. The first item was a charge of 291. leis. 6d. for circulars, informing the creditors of a meeting which was to be held in the Opera House. Mr. Johnson appeared to support the claim, which was objected to by Mr. Hamilton on the part of the new assignees, on the ground that the meeting had nct b en convened in accordanc , with the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Williams and Mr. Leslie appeared on behalf of various creditors, to make the same objection. They stated that many of the credi• tors had not been served with circulars apprising them of the meeting. The COMMISSIONER said it was his opinion that, as the Act of Parliament had not been complied with, it rested en the assignees to show that it came under the head of " reasonable expenses," which, as the meeting had been fully advertised, he thought it did not, and he therefore confirmed the taxation. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Bth instant state that the mission about to be sent- by the Emperor of RUSSIA to China, would be ready to set out for Peking in a few weeks This mission is doubtless :ntended to counteract the influence which the terrors of an attack upon the Chinese coast by Great Britain might pro duce at the Court of Peking. In whatever dire lion tie move our att en ti ve a ll y N ICHOLAS h as some tusi ness to transact, which requires the presence of an agent in the same quarter. But the most suspicious circumstance is. that the mission will consist of military officers of high rank and great experience, so that we may expect to se e th e Affghanistan game of dipooliity played over again in China. In a Hamburg paper of the 18th instant we find the following paragraph, to which we invite the attention of merchants and traders : The next item was 79/. 13g. 2d. taxed from fees given to Sir Frederick Pollock and Mr. Arnold, for attending a meeting of the assignees, to advise them, on which the Commissioner made the same decision. Other items were gone through, in some of which the taxation was confirmed, and others were referred for further consideration MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TW EL Ira: 0' CL 0 Cr. LIVERPOOL. COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.-There has not been any change in the character of our market this week. Baiiness coutiuues to be conducted without spirit, and although we experience rather more than an average de mand, it is met freely by sellers at the current rates, which for American short staple descriptions are much the same as this day week In Brszil there is not any change; whilst Egypian arc id. lower ; and the Sea Island at auction to-day sold from id to 2d. under previous rates; of 598 bales offered, 295 sold as above.

The additional per cent. for quarantine, &e., is tr)t to be charged ; for salt imported into Odessa, as well for the free port as for the interior of the empire, is to pay the full duty of 23 copecs.

PERTIISHIP.E ELECTION.—George Stewart, Esq,. is we understand, to start for Perthshire on the Liberal interest.

E. Grisi, Miss Byfeld (who sings Irish airs beautifully), Cu rioni, and Brizzi. The collection of instrumental performers is also excellent, and we confidently trust that the arrange ments Miss Chambers ha. made. independent of her claims on public generosity, will ensure a full audience. But for the losses her family has sustained (net less than 30,0001. devoured by the law, and her father still in prison), she would have been the last person in the world to make this appeal to public kind ness and support. Mr. F. Lablache and Madame F. Lablache (late Miss F. Wyndham) again had the honour of singing on Friday night at her Majesty the Queen Dowager's soiree. He Majesty Queen Victoria and her Royal Consort were present. Lord Kimpton is abOut to build a church in the mountain lodge of that noble family, in the Gailtees, county Cork, and endow it.

Deodand one There are three other men now lying in the hos pital in a very dangerous state. DEATH. ACCELERATED BY NEGLECT.-- Last evening an inquest was held at the Star and Garter, Ureen-street, Leicester-square, on the body of John Jackson, aged 46, a pressman at the Foreign Office, Downing.street, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death," acce lerated, they were of opinion, by deceased having been placed in a cold cell. Deceased having left a widow and five children, two of whom are cripples, the coroner and Jury freely sub scribed for then. LORD AND LADY HEADLEY.—The gloom and anxiety occasioned by Lord Headley's protracted illness are at length dispelled. His Lordship is not only aonvalescent, but likely to be restored to perfect health. His amiable Lady, al though nearly exhabsted by her anxiety and watching on his Lord-hip during his illness, did not allow her charitable disco sition to slumber. The annual distribution was most ext, 0- dealt out to o.:er 600 of the poor, each getting according to tl,e r wants, and the number of their family. The char.ty thus bestowed consisted not only of provisions and money, Lilt also of warm clothing for the winter.—Kerry Post.

INVERNESS ELECTION.—A new requisition was last night issued for the Borough of Inverness, in the room of Roderick Macleod, Esq., who has acceptcd the Chiltern Hundreds. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.— Th e an swer to the numerous inquiries yesterday at Apsley House, was that the Noble Duke was convalescent ; and it was understood that his Grace's physicians would discontinue their regular visits. We understand that it was the wish of the Duke to go clown to the House of Lords at five o'clock, but Sir Henry Halford considered that it was not aelvisable for his Grace to venture out so soon after his indisposition, especially as the weather continued int ense ly cold. The Duke received several morning visitors, among whom were the Marquis of Douro, who has taken possession of his new mansion in Belgrave-street, the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot, General Alava, the Spanish Minister, and Col. Gurwood. His Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg called in person to inquire after the health of the Duke.

THE LATE COUNTESS OF HAREWOOD.-- The interment of the remains of this Noble Lady will take place this day, in the family mausoleum in Harewood Church, eight miles from Leeds.

The Hon. George and Lady Louisa Cavendish, and all the branches of the family, were at Harewood, when the melancholy event occurred, except the Countess of Sheffield, who was detained at Sheffield Park, Ssssex, by delicate health. Lord Harewood has had the misfortune to lose his Countess and eldest son in the space of six months. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours left Paris on Monday for Compiegne, and will, it is said, -proceed to Brussels, where the younger Duke's intended bride and her father, as our readers are aware, have arrived.

A public meeting o the inhabi tants of Greenwich and its vicinity is to be held at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, on Monday evening next, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to pass a measure for the release of Mr. John Thorogeod from Chelmsford Gaol, for the extinction of Church-rates, and the abolition of' Ecclesiastical Courts.

FETE AT HINTON HOUSE.--Hinton House, the seat of the earl of Poulett, was the scene of much splendour and festivity, on Thursday, the 6th inst., being the fifth anniver sary of the birth of his Lordship's youngest son, the Hon. Amiss Poulett In his Lordship's absence in town the Countess en tertained upwards of 300 of the nobility and principal gentry, together with the tenantry and tradespeople, to a grand ball and: supper. THE Loss OF THE TYRIAN.—On Thurs day afternoon two lighters and chains, which, upon applica tion to the Lords of the Admiralty, had been granted the use •!, were brought up the river from her Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness, and were anchored alongside the ill-fated barque Tyrian, for the purpose of raising her, which, it is expected, will be accomplished in the course of two or three days. The arrangements for attaining this object are wider the superin tendence of Messrs. Moore and Almit, of Portsmouth, who have contracted to raise the sunken vessel, and also to land the cargo in London. It was supposed a few days since that the Tyrian was embedded SO deeply in mud that all attempts to raise her would be fruitless ; this, however, proves to be the contrary. Captain Cunningham has made soundings round the vessel, and finds the substance in which she lies is of a hard texture ; moreover, lying as she does with the way of the tide, it is considered that it will facilitate the raising her. If not got up in a few days it is much feared that the force of the ebb tide entering the aperture made by the collision will rend her asunder, and thus not only cause total destruction to the vessel, but the loss of the entire cargo. No traces have yet been discovered of the bodies of the persons who perished by the unfortunate occurrence, which confirms the previous supposition that they are all in the forecastle. The working men of Wolverhampton are to meet on Tuesday next, to petition for the immediate and total abolition of the Corn-laws. They are convened by a nu merously signed requisition of their fellow-workmen.
