In the House of Lords last night, the Archbishop of

CANTERBURY gave notice of a formal attack upon the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. On the 10th of April his Grace will move an address to the Queen, praying her Majesty not to give her assent to that bill.

An address to the Queen. assuring her Majesty that the Lords will concur in any measure for rewarding the services of Lord Seaton, was moved by Lord MIS1.13OURNE. The Duke of WELLINGTON heartily suported the motion which, of course, was carried. Lord Seaton was highly eulogized by all the speakers.

In the House of Commons, many petitions were presented for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and a few for maintaining them without al- teration.

Mr. HUME moved for leave to bring in a bill to suspend the pension of the King of Hanover. He maintained that Parliament never in- tended to pension a foreign potentate, who might :even apply English money to purposes of hostility against England.

Lord JOHN Russisin. said, the Fension was granted for life; it might have been mortgaged for payment of debts, or entirely disposed of. The King of Hanover might relinquish it—some thought he ought— on that question there would be ditlerent opinions ; but Parliament could not take it from him. A question had also been raised as to the apartments retained by the King of Hanover in St. James's Palace : it was true that the King of Hanover objected to give up those apartments for the use of the Dutchess of Kent. Lord John would make no ob- servations on what might have been the conduct of other persons with respect to those apartments, but the King of Hanover's refusal would entail no expense upon this country, us the rent of the Dutchess of Kent's house would be paid out of the Privy Purse.

Colonel Pisnegvar. stated, on the authority of Sir Frederick Watson, who managed the King of Hanover's affairs in this country, that the King had not refused to give up the apartments at St. James's Palace— it was the Duteltess of Kent who objected to the apartments, as incon- venient hi every respect. It had been seal that the King made money out of land he held at Kew ; • but the rents were paid to the Woods and Forests, and all the benefit the King of Hanover derived was liberty of grazing for a few old horses. The annuity was devoted to the liquida- tion of debt and the pensioning of twenty-three old servants.

Lord Wonsmsy, Mr. Ilallott:v, Mr. WARBURTON, and Sir ROBERT Pmec supported the motion ; Colonel SUITHORPE and Mr. C.ounnuns opposed it ; and it was rejected, on a division, by 76 to 63.

A discussion then ensued on a motion by Mr. Hulot for papers rela- tive to the negotiations on the affairs of Turkey and Egypt. Mr. Hume contended that Lord Palmerston's policy in supporting Turkey against Mehemet Ali, in conjunction with other powers, had prevented an amicable arrangement. Turkey was to blame in this quarrel, usher army had invaded Mehemet Ali's territory. But whatever opinions might be formed on this subject, it was fit the House should know what Lord Palmerston was doing.

Lord PALMERSTON refused to produce the Pap;rs ; which could not be made public without injurious consequences. He would state, how- ever, that the Five Powers were still agreed upon the point of main- taining the integrity of Turkey. Mr. Hume himself did not desire to overthrow the Turkish empire, but, by way of consolidating it, he would make Mehemet Ali an independent prince : in the same way, he might consolidate the power of the British empire by recognizing the independence of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. As to the war be- tween Turkey and Egypt, he could inform Mr. Hume that Mehemet All was the aggressor.

Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON stated, that Mehemet Ali had satisfied him, in an interview, that his orders to Ibrahim Pacha were, not to fight unless attacked in his own territory ; and in point of fact, the battle of Nizeb was fought on Mehemet All's territory.

Sir ROBERT PEEL showed that there was no sort of analogy between the cases of a Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland removable at the will of his Sovereign, and that of Mehemet Ali, a virtually independent prince. Was it part of Lord Palmerston's policy to assimilate the relations of Mehemet Ali with the Porte to those of an Irish Lord-Lieutenant with the Sovereign of England? Admitting that a Foreign Secretary ought not to be compelled to produce papers which he said could not be pru- dently produced, Sir Robert thought Lord Palmerston had carried this rule too far ; and that much advantage might have arisen from an earlier communication to Parliament of what he was doing in the Levant, in Persia, in China, and with respect to the North-east Boundary. He hoped Lord Palmerston would state' whether there was any approximation towards a settlement of affairs in the East?

Lord PALMERSTON, amidst the laughter of the House replied, that "so far as the negotiations had gone, they were certainly satisfactory in a general way." Mr. CHARLES BULLER said, Lord Palmerston's rule was, that when he was doing any thing, the House should never know what he was about ; and whether he was doing any thing or nothing, the House never knew.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL contended, that the advantage of withholding official communications during pending negotiations had been conspi- cuous in the disputes on the North-eastern Boundary question. Much angry feeling had been avoided by that prudent course. He was de- cidedly in fhvour of giving greater security to the integrity Of the Turkish empire.

Motion withdrawn.

Colonel SIBTHORPE asked, when the returns of Commissioners ap- pointed by the present Government would be forthcoming? The CHANCELLOR of the Es:cal:giant said, he would inquire. Colonel SIBTIIORPE—Y‘ For God's sake, do I'm tired of asking for them."

The House rose at a quarter past twelve. •
