LONDON:
FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1840.

The Earl of ABERDEEN, having an important peti-
tion to present from certain holders of Spanish bonds,
save notice of his intention to present it to-day, and to
make some observations on the subject.
The Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting a petition
from Liverpool against claus• s in the Beer Bill, said the
licensed victuallers complained of the Legislature eter.
nally interfering with their property and concerns. Almost
every class of men makes the same complaint. Tne
Legislature, by its interminable meddling, periletually
damages some class or other of the corn.:nunity, and
no one meddles much more than the Noble Duke who
presented the petition. He is a perpetual meddler in
behalf of the Corn-laws.

Lord LYNDHURST astrinished all who heard him,
and will astonish alt who reads the debate, by
taking 'Lord COREHOUSE or Mr. CRANSTOUN, a
Judge of the Court of S'ssion, under his protection,
and askino• why be had not, received an increase of
salary. Lord COREHOUSE has all his life been a good
Whig, though never an intemperate politician.
Lords LANSDOWNE, BROUGHAM, and DENMAN con-
curred, entirely and heartily in the eulogium which
Lord LYNDHURST had pronounced on Lord Conk-
monsE, and expressed their regret that the clause to
secure him an increased salary had been omitted from
the Bill. Lord LANSDOWNE said the Ministers had,
howev►r, the satisfaction of knowing that Lord CORE-
Taw.") sE had retired in independent circumstances, and
tarried with him the respect and admiration of all who
knew him.

On the Marquis of LANSDOWNE moving for some
Teturns relative to education, the Archbishop of CAN-
TERBURY informed their Lordships that he was gra
-titled by the difference between the Church and the
Privy Council having been brought to an end,
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved tiP- n-rst reading of
the Regency Bill, and explained
for the continency of tie'.'eat it was to provide
beiitg micor--,,otpossessor of the Throne
expected accotr.,:. .or the period of her MAJESTY'S
clement, as was very absurdly stated by
too PaPertl., and in conformity with the precedent esta-
tlisbeAl soon alter the ecce- 'on of WILLIAM IV.,

role Regent de:iing the minority appoint theof Duchess of KENT
Bill appeir:
ccd Prince ALBER sole
heru e daughter, httoer,tatk
e
care his own child. This is very natural
,eui proper, and we cannot, for one moment,
liuppose that there ever was the least doubt on the sub-
-ect. The Regent is to possess the Royal authority
-without any lirnitaticns, which might be suitable for
such a case as that of GEORGE 111., but is not suitable
for minority. The Royal authority, the lORD
chiANCELLOR Said, is not too extensive when possessed
)y right, and should not be weakened when possessed
ky appointment. The Regent is not to have the power
to aJsent to any laws altering the succession to the
Throne, or altering the laws regulating the uniformity
of the worship of the Church of England or Scotland.
With these exceptions the Regent will exercise all the
powers of the Sovereign. The Bill was read a first
time, and the second reading was appointed for Monday.
The Administration of Justice Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The %Veaser Churches Bill again occasioned some
discussion, and
Lord STANLEY of Alderley, very pre-
perly objected to the State making any person provide
for the religious instruction of the persons they might
eßishop of SALISBURY insisted on that
pitTn)l.27l..e. ; Thelromwl.icli it is to be inferred that, if a Dis-
senter brings.together a large number of workmen, he
can be compelled to build a church, and endow a minis-
ter of the National Establishment. Only let the pri.:sts
speak out, and what they would have will soon be per-
ceptible.
The Grammar Schools Bill was read a third time,
and tie Juvenile Offenders Buil a second time. At
Half-past Seven their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons the Bishop of CARLISLE'S, or rather
the Prebendary of Finsbury's Bill, the Prebend and the
Bishop being now one person, was read a second time,
after some opposition cn the part of Messrs. DuNCo3II3I.
and WAKLEY, and after a division. The Bill exempli-
fies the, assertion that nobody can tell the wealth of the I
Churc!), for it appears that at the exptration of the lease I
of "_lie pecparty, the Prebend of Finsbury will have
an income of 47,0001. a year. The property,
by the Bill, is to be sold to the City for 240,000/
ry! eresent Bishop is to got 40,0001. of It. Vsruat
