LONDON :
TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1840.

The Judges attended yesterday in the House of
Lords, and, by the mouth of the Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas stated, in answer to the peE-
tions put on a fanner occasion, that all the Ju.l2,es
of England, except Lords ABINGER and DEN-
MAN, who did not attend (on account of being
Peers) were unanimously of opinion that the words
Protestant ciergy " included other clergy besides
the priesthood of the Anglican Church—they in-
cluded the Scotch clergy, for the Scotch Church
was called an Established Church in the Statute-
book—which must mortify the Bishop of EXETER
very much. The Judges also gave it as their
opinion that the Legislative bodies of Canada had
exceeded their power in passing an Act to provide
for the sale of the Clergy Reserves. A new Act
will, therefore, be necessary.
Earl STANHOPE, on presenting the petition of
the Freemasons' Tavern Anti-Opium Petitioners,
indulged in a few unnecessary remarks, which
made the Earl of ROSEBERY protest against
" the whole proceedings of the meeting, particu-
larly that strange resolution that their inflamma-
tory language should be translated into Chinese,
and transmitted to the Chinese Emperor, through
Commissioner LIN. Earl STANHOPE defended
his conduct, and said that the resolution was nei-
ther illegal nor reprehensible, for the communi-
cation might be made to the Emperor of CHINA, I
when ail the business was over.

Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions for the
abolition of the Corn-laws, bearing 72;000 signa-

tures.

Viscount STRANGFORD stated that the French
had embarked slaves on the we: tarn coast of
Africa, on the pretence of serving in the Ewell
military, under the sanction of French men-of-
war.
Viscount. MELBOURNE moved the second
reading of the Irish Municipal all. His Lord-
ship alluded to the former progress of the ine;7.-
sure, and stated that it had only been prevented from passing last Session by the latenifis of the pe-
riod at which it was sent back to the Commons,
and by technical difficulty. It had been brought
early into the Commons this Session, and sent
up to their Lordships by large Si
including the principal men on both s es,
of the House. The delay des
which had sub-
sequently taken place he could not help, but he
did not regret it, as he hoped it would enable their
Lordships; by a numerous attendance, to settle the
question.
The Duke of WELLINGTON did not oppose the
motion, but he found fault with the Bill for not
