LONDON:
SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1840.

In the House of Lords last night, a clause was added
to the Regency Bill, imposing on the Regent the same
restrictions as to marriage as are imposed on the Sove-
reign by the Bill of Rights. The Bill was then read
a third time and passed.

Several other Bills were forwarded a stage ; and se-
veral petitions were presented, including one by Lord
BROUGHAM from rational religionists, praying for in-
quiry into the truth of their tenets, and including se-
veral against the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues
Bill.

Mr. HOPE was then heard at the bar at considerable
length against the Bill, after which their Lordships ad-
journed till Monday. The only Peers who remained
to hear the Learned Gentleman's argument to an end
were several Prelates, two of the Ministers, Lord
BROUGHAM, and one or two Tory Lords.
In the Commons Lord STANLEY presented a peti-
tion complaining of violence in thb election of Guardians
for the Union of New Ross, and particularly of the
conduct of the Roman Catholic priesthood. Lord MGR,-
PETH promised to inquire into the allegations of the pe-
tition.

On the motion of Sir ROBERT INcrls, the Order of
the Day for the second reading of the Farnham Rec-
tory Bill was discharged, which puts an end to the Bill
for the present.
The 'Joint Stock Banking Companies Bill went
through a Committee, after the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER had added a clause to it, giving to those
Companies the power of prosecuting any of their ovtn
members.

In answer to Mr. DARBY, Lord PALMERSTON stated
that the Commissioners appointed by the French and
English Governments were to draw up regulations for
the French and English fishermen when they meet in
the open sea. Within three miles of any coast they
are subject to the regulations of that country.
Mr. GOULBURN brought under the notice of the
House the case of a Rev. Dr. M'GILL, who had been,
by his recommendation, when he was Secretary of State
for the Home Department, appointed one of the Royal
Chaplains for Scotland, but whose salary had been with-
beld.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. R.
STEUART stated that the appointment was made sub-
ject to the recommendation of the Civil List Commit-
tee that no salary should be attached to the office, and
therefore none was paid.
Mr. GOULBURN was not satisfied with the explana-
tion. Mr. HUME was.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved an address to the Crown
concerning JOHN THOROGOOD, After a debate, of
',which we have elsewhere noticed the principal features,
except the explanation given by Sir R. INous of his
visit to THOROGOOD, the motion was withdrawn.
In a Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates,
and on a vote for 2,000 additional seamen, Mr. Ho ME,
borrowing his weapons, we are sorry to say, from the
morning Post, made an attack on the foreign policy of
the Government relative to Turkey, and charged the
(4,avernment with entering into a treaty with Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, to the exclusion of France, in-
stead of cultivating an alliance with her.
Both Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL
replied to Mr. HumE, and both explained and defended
our policy in relation to Turkey ; both professed the
warmest attachment to France, but neither denied the
existence of the treaty mentioned by Mr. HumE,
After some observations by Captain PECHELL, re-
commending the restoration of pensions to seamen who
again serve on board ship, the vote was agreed to.
The House was occupied, in Committee of Supply,
the remainder of the evening, with the navy and mis-
cellaneous estimates.

The Standard of last evening repudiated its
own report of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S
speech of Thursday, and adopted that of the

Times :
" His Grace expressed his dissent from the petition in
strong language, though, we are bound to confess, in lan-
guage nothing like so strong as that which our reporter
very improperly ascribed to the illustrious Duke in the
Second Edition of yesterday's Standard—an error on the
reporter's part for which we cannot account, but for which
it is our duty to apologise."
As it is of much importance that the public
should be correctly informed of the language used
by hi►; Grace, we shall also lay the report of the
Times before our readers

Thob'gh he felt it to be his duty to present this peti-
tion, yet he must say that he entirely differed from the
petitioners in the view which they took of the subject.
The Bill wos intended to provide a remedy for the ac-
knowledged L4e6ciency which existed with respect to the
number and eraQluments of the parochial clergy. In his
