LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1840.

The House of Lords met yesterday at the usual
time, Several Bills were immediately brought up from
the Commons.
A considerable body of petitions were presented
against the Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill, and the Bishop
of SALISBURY declared that the whole Clergy of the
kingdom were opposed to it. The Archbishop of CAN-
IrlLußy denied. this, but certainly the opposition is
very great. The petitioners prayed to be heard by
Counsel against the Bill, and Viscount MELBOURNE
wllllngly assented to the motion to hear Coun-
sel, We must say that we think the Clergy very
,ungrateful. For three Sessions and more has the Par-
'irnent busied itself with mcasnres to make them less
liable to censure, and less obnoxious to the people, and
they show their gratitude by petitioning against the ex-
ertions of their friends. We recommend the Parlia-
ment to let them alone, and they will the sooner be
destroyed.
On the LORD CHANCELLOR moving the Order of the
Day for the second reading of the Regency Bill, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex made a long
I.‘c'eelt. His Royal Highness said he thought it was
nls duty towards his Sovereign and his family to ex-
press the opinions he entertained on this subject. After
F"lPlirnenting the LORD CHANCELLOR for the mode
11.1,• Which he had introduced the Bill, his Royal
InneSS referred to her MAJESTY'S Message,
cos praised the precaution her MAJESTY had
His Royal
by asking the advice of her Parliament.
Highness expressed his approbation of the
ba~of the Bill, that of placing the Sovereign in the
,an .d 8 of the surviving parent, and expressed his appro.
of Po giving the ltegent full power, though he pp:
d of the restrictions as to altering the suc
ees.sion to the throne, and as to altering the
r,etigion of the State. His Royal Highness
"wever, thought, and this was the great point he
IBi
Z,lght, to impress on their Lordships, that a Regency
l should provide, like the Regency Bill of George
"14 for other remote contingencies, and Regents to he
appointed in case of Prince ALBERT'S death. His
Royal
Highness also approved of Prince ALBERT
heieg allowed to marry a Catholic without
4:teiting the Regency, but wished, as we un
rat°°d, that some further restriction should be
pilaced on his marrying a foreigner, as was placed on
th
Duchess of KENT and the QUEEN DOWAGER by
Afteßegency Bills of which the present is a copy.
r stating these points his Royal Highness said he
Was contented with discharging his duty, and should
• support the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in a few words, said it
w_ a: not generally the custom of Parliament to
provide for those remote contingencies to which his
Ytal Highness alluded, and there would be ample op-
por?'itY of providing for them, in all human pro-
thrt,i, before they could arrive. With reference to
i.r..e:trietion on marriage, the Noble Lerd said it was
ii,T.,epc 1Y applied to the two Illustrious Ladies, because
"night have submitted to foreign influence ; but
