LONDON:
FRIDAY, JULY 24. 1840.

The Duke of WELLINGTON made a most re-
markable declaration in the House of Lords last
night, which tends, with all the weight of the
Duke's influence, to crush Sir ROBERT INGLIS'S
Church Extension scheme. His Grace was
charged with the presentation of a petition from
the University of Oxford, of which he is Chan-
cellor, against the Ecclesiastical Duties and Reve-
nues Bill, which his party supported in the House
of Commons, but which, the Bishop of WIN-
CHESTER has declared, is opposed by all the clergy
of England. In presenting the petition, his
Grace emphatically declared that he entirely
differed from the petitioners ; and added, with
considerable warmth—

It is vain for any man in these times to expect the defi-
ciency will be made up out of the public money, while the
Church has in itself resources that may be applied to
the purpose. I say, my Lords, that all the resources
which the Church possesses should be applied to supply
that deficiency, and to remove those inconveniences. The
petitioners themselves admit that the evil exists, and it is
most desirable, both for the public good and for the good
of the Church itself, that those inconveniences should
be remedied and removed. I confess, therefore,
that I heard with astonishment that this petition
was got up in tho University of Oxford, and that
these petitioners prayed that the Bill should not pass.
My Lords, I am of a very different opinion from tire peti-
tioners. lam convinced that no measure could be de-
vised which could more tend to remedy the evils, and to
remove those very inconveniences of which the petitioners
themselves complain in this petition, and which they say
truly attend the parochial sy,tem of the Church in this
country. I think, my Lords, the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sioners did their duty in recommending this Bill. I think
it highly creditable to the Church that those inconveni-
ences should be removed by the Church itself. I think it
highly creditable that the Church should even take the
first step in rmnoving those evils, without applying for the
assistance of the public money."

That is another great shell, thrown by the Duke
into the very midst of the bigots. He scattered
and frightened his friends by his Chinese shell—
his Church shell will blow them into atoms
They have given him power to throw it, and effec-
tually he has hit them. Praise to the great Duke,
who has given the whole tribe of hypocrites another
severe blow I

A whole batch of Bills were, by the magic of the
Royal assent, converted into Acts or laws last night in
the House of Lords, and among them the Canada Go-
vernment Bill.
Several petitions were presented against the Eccle-
siastical Duties and Revenues Bill ; to one of them from
the University of Oxford, &c., presented by the Duke
of WELLINGTON, WO have elsewhere directed the
reader's attention.
There was also a petitien against British troops at-
tending idolatrous worship in India, which provoked
the Bishop of LONDON to denounce that "crying
abuse," and to inquire what the Government had done
to suppress it.
Viscount MELBOURNE believed that the Govern-
ment had done all in its power to put an end to it.
The Report of the Weaver Churches Bill was
brought
up and agreed to, and the discussion on the
Bill is to be taken on the third reading. Several peti-
tions were presented against the Bill, and one from 120
workmen employed in the Weaver navigation, which
the Bishop of LONDON declared, as we expected he
I would, was one
of the strongest arguments which could
be urged in favour of the Bill. The Priests
assertingneed

That is taken as an undeniable proof that they are
immersed in heathenism.

The Regency Bill went through the Committee.
Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, as Counsel for the Deans and
Chapters, was then heard at the bar against the Eccle-
sastical Duties and Revenues Bill, which the priest-
hood are resolved to oppose to the utmost of their
power. The Peers sat patiently till ten o'clock to
hear the Learned Gentleman ; and then, after settling
that the Bill should not be read a second time to-mor.
row, adjourned.
In the Commons the Hon. Mr. C. HOWARD, the
new Member for East Cumberland, took the oaths and
his seat.
The third reading of the Farnham Rectory Bill was,
