LONDON :
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1840.

Petitions were last night presented in the House of
Peers from the Clergy of Bury St. Edmund's against
the Church Reform. The worthy Clergy think the
Establishment perfect ; how can it be otherwise, seeing,
according to Bishop PHILPOTTS, that it is a direct
legacy from the Apostles.
To questions put by Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Viscount
MELBOURNE answered that the papers connected with
China would be laid before the House as soon as pos -
sible ; that he did not apprehend any message would be
sent down with those papers, and that he was not prepared
to say whether any engagement had been entered into
with the East India Company as to the share it was
to take with the Government in the expense of an expe-
dition against China.
The late vote of thanks to the Indian army was
altered on the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, SO as
to include by name Brigadier-General WILLSHIRE, and
the troops under his order who captured Kelat.
In reply to the Earl of ABERDEEN, Viscount MEL-
BOURNE admitted that some suspicion had been cast on
the authorities of Herat.
Viscount STRANGFORD withdrew his motion concern-
ing :be state of trade with Africa, because he was
not, when he announced it, aware of its extent and
importance.
A considerable number of petitions were presented
in the Commons, many of which were for a repeal of
the Corn lave, some for the relief of the Sheriffs, some
against the intrusion
ministers into the Kirk of
Scotland, some for
of
Church extension, some against
Church-rates, &c'.
Notices of motions were given, by Mr. EWART to
death by Mr.
nt for• SHAW, of
abolish the punishment
