MEETING OF CONVOCATION.-(THIS DAY.) This morning the prelates and clergy comprising the pprroovince of Canterbury assembled at V wittninster, not for • n or "the despatch of business," but simply for the purpose of making arrangements for the pre sentation of an address to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Archbishop of Cerement:my presided in Queen Anne's Bounty-office; aid there were also present the Bishops of London, V, mortar, Salisbuarryy,St. Aceph, Bath and Well; Hereford, St. David's, and LLiduß. The addreas agreed upon for presentation was drawn up by the Bishop of Oxford, and after congratulating the Prince and Princess on their auspi dons marriage, prayed that their union might be blessed in years to come for the benefit and the security of both the church and the state. The Lower House assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber. There were preen{ the Very Reverend the Dean of Bristol. the Prolocutor, the Dean of Norwich, Chancellor Massingberd. Archdeacon Denison, Archdeacon Biekersteth, Archdeacon Hale, the Rev. Lord Alwyn° Compton, the Rev. Sir Henry Thomp soe Bart., the Bev. Prebendary Mackenzie, the Rev. Dr. Jell, the Rev. Dr. Leighton (warden of All Souls College, Oxford), and a considerable number of proctors. The Archbishop of Canterbury directed Mr. F. Hart Dyke, the re:Mier of the province, to summon the Lower House ; and this havi been done, convocation in its cor porate capacity proceeded in several carriages to Marlbo rough House in order to present the address. EXPLOSION ON BOARD SHIP AT NEWHAVEN. THREE MEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. Yesterday morning an explosion of a somewhat I alarming nature occurred at Newhaven, on board the Sunk, • cargo screw steamer, of about 100 tow, then lying io harbour. At the time of the occurrence three of the crew were engaged in the after cabin in putting some new or additional pipes into the water ballast tank, which is constructed along the bottom of the vessel. They bad taken the covering off the manhole, and one of them, it seems, was in the act of putting a light in the tank to enable him to make an inspection, when an ex plosion ensued. The extent and power a the explosion may be imagined when we state that the cabin was rent almost in pieces, and the report was beard quite half • mile off. F)amee and smoke also issued very freely out of the cabin door, and upon the other men on board running to the assistance of their mates they found them blackened all over from heed to toot, and most frightfully burnt about their faces and hands. The cabin was likewise found to be on fire, sad steps were immediately taken to extinguish the flames. At the time the injured men were sent off to Brighton it wee impeach% to form any correct idea of the nature and extent of their injuries, but their sufferings were very severe, the cook crying most piteously from his agonies. The vessel, it appears, is worked between New haven and Dieppe, in connexion with the steam packet service, for the conveyance of cargo only, and hu recently been engaged in carrying naphtha. The inference is that the gas from the naphtha, which is of • very explosive nature, accumulated in the ballast water-tank, and ignited the instant the light was applied to it. No doubt proper steps will be takes to prevent a recurrence of such an accident. At the time of our going to press, we learn from inquiry that the sufferers, although severely burnt, are not so seri ously injured az was at test suppoeaL—Sarin Advertiser.

FICILALR ORPHAN Asyursc.—The summer election of children into this asylum took place yesterday at the London Tavern. Mr. S. Wheeler having taken the chair, expressed the pleasure he felt at being able to testify to the continued success of that asylum, whose interests they bad all so much at heart. The state of the school was every way satisfactory, both as regarded the making by the children in their education and ha sir health. They would now proceed to the election of 10 children, and he only re gretted the funds were not in • position to enable them to elect the whole of the candidate* on the list, amongst whom he observed many sad and distressing cane. It was some consolation, however, for the subscribers to know that by admitting the comparatively limited number they alleviated a large amount of suffering. He thee declared the poll opened, sod said the names of the successful candidates would be drained in the usual manner.

The Oturar EASTILRN.—The Great Eastern ar rived off New York on the morning of the 27th ult., and was safely anchored there on the afternoon of that day. The Great Eastern sailed from Liverpool ou the 16th of May : Me, SOTHRRN AT EDINBCROH.—Mr. Sothorn closed his present engagement at the Queen's Theatre on Saturday evening, when he took his benefit, and when the house was again literally filled to overflowing. Besides his great part of Lord Dundreary, Mr. Sothern ap peared as Captain Howard Leslie, in has little oomedietta, sod, we need not add, elicited frequent laughter sod applause in both characters At the close Mr. Sothern was called before the curtain, and, amid enthu siartic plaudits and cries of "Speak," said :—Ladies and gentlemen,—l cannot withstand the temptation to say • few words to you before I go away to-night. (Loud applause.) It is an undoubted fact, I believe, that an Edinburgh andieoce is strictly critical—in fact, painfully so sometime, ; sod consequently I do not view this as on amount of any merit of my own ; but I consider the hearty welcome—the enthusiastic reception—you have even me on my first visit to Edinburgh as the greatest compliment ever paid me since I was upon the stage. applause.) 1 had intended to give myself • holiday, ma I have not had one for twelve years—and that was to be w in a fortnight's time : but, instead of that, I shell have the st honour of appearing again a fortnight from this time, for ' six nights, before an Edinburgh audience.

Mr. Settlers then re- • tired amid continued and enthusiestio cheering.—Edinburgh fe Cou rant. fg ANOTHER MURDER IN IRELAND.—Anotber murder HP is reported by • correspondent of the Dublin Express : "On Wednesday, about the boar of 9 o'clock, a woman, • named Butler, missed her daughter, • little girl of seven is The of are, who bad Jost partaken of her supper. le The mother supposed she might have strayed into the 1e plantatioos of Mr. Burn, of Coeval& near Rucres, and IS spent the night searching for her.

Not, at any i rate d what you are reading is of a solemn and impressive nature. Perhaps • comic peerage, an article in • news- ,eF paper, or some light thing of that sort you might get Is through; but the serious or terrible always come to 1 4 an untimely end. Try in, Establish yourself comfoet- • ably, and, at the same time, majestically, in an easy chair, with your reading lamp beside you, with the 10 shade drawn down, sod all things becoming. Pitch your voice in a good rich beat key ; have your right head ready to illustrate your author with an occasional wave ; and get well into Hamlet or Othello—do this, and see what will happen. Either one of the ladies—ladies soda—whom you are enlightening, will suddenly exclaim, " Hush ! I think I hear baby crying" —or else a servant will mime in and announce that the young man have called to take your order about the re - papering of the back drawing-room." Who can stood against interruptions of this cut? Who will ever get hack again the inspired tones, the fervid man ner, the graceful gesticulations which have been thus rudely laterrupted, and who, oh ! who, will ever expect Aga* that • servant will look ape him with respect after he has seen his master passionately adjuring mummy, sad sawing the air with his arm l—Macerillan's Magazine for June.

Two o'Ozas. The settlement in the funds, fixed for this day, has been attended with a fresh reduction of i per cent. in prices. The other markets are quiet. English railways show steadiness. In the foreign stock market the principal inquiries have been for Mexican and Greek Bonds, but the amount of general business in this department has been only moderate. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69fr. 35c., showing no change. Consuls are now quoted 914 to 1, ex div., for money, and 924 to 4, ex div., for the new account (July 9). The official business report is as follows Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 92, 914 ; ditto for account (July 9), 921 ; Three per Cents. Re duced, 914, 4, I ; New Three per Cents., 914, 4, 3 ; India Stock, 232, 234, 231 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 108, 1074 ; Bank Stook, 234, 232. There is a decline of 4 per cent, in Venezuela Six per Cents., and of 1 in Turkish Consolidds. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are likewise dull. On the other hand, a fresh improvement of 1 per cent. has occurred in the Turkish Loan of 1854, and a rather decided recovery has been established in Mexican Bonds, which are last marked 331. Greek Bonds were in request in the morning, and were purchased as high as 36/, but have since returned to the closing quotations of yes terday. The coupons continue in demand. Some of the present quotations are an nexed-viz., Turkish 1854 Loan, 92 to 93 ; ditto, 1858, 70 to 4 ; ditto, 1862, 714 to I ; the Consolidds, 504 to 4 ; Venezuelan Six per Cents., 584 to 3 ; and Greek Bonds, 351 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian 1004 ; ditto, 1852, 1858, 1860, 91, ex div. ; Dutch Certificates, 101; Greek, for account, 36, 354, 361, 354 ; ditto Coupont., 164, 17 ; Italian, for account, 721 ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 81 ; Mexican, for account, 331, 1 ; New Granada, 154, 16, 151 ; ditto Deferred, 94 ; Portuguese, 1856, 1857, 1859, 1860, and 1862, 491, 1; 1 Russian, 1862, 924 ; Spanish, for account, 541 ; ditto Passive, for account, 331 ; ditto Certificates, for account, 12, 111 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 914, 93 ; ditto, 1858, for account, 70, 4 ; ditto, 1862, for account, 711, 4 ; Venezuela, 1862, 584, 1. Turkish Loan scrip is quoted 1 to 14 prem., and ' Italian, 21 to 3 prem. The former has risen 4 per cent., and the latter 1. Confederate is without change, at 2 to 1 dis. International Financial and General Credit end Finance shares are lower—the former at 53 to 61 prem., and the latter at 2i to 21 prem. London Financial are steady, at II to 2k prem. The demand for money continues active, and no business appears to be done below 4 per cent. The applications at the Bank of England, however, though to a considerable amount, are not of a pressing character. About 85,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. Another gold vessel has arrived from Otago, New Zealand—the Star of Tasmania—with 130,0001. The America, from Boston, has brought 40,0001. About 512,0001. in Australian gold is now on the way to England. The exact amount of specie engaged for trans mission to-day to Brazil by the steamer Mag dalena is 221,9931., of which 214,5931. is gold and 7,4001. silver. The committee of the Stock Exchange have just appointed Friday next a special settling day in the scrip of the Ottoman Loan of 1863, and the Share. of the International Financial Association (Limited). Both are to be quoted in the official lists. The promp titude with which all the arrangement& have been carried out by the management of the International Financial Society reflects great credit upon them. The London Financial Association commenced business yesterday at their temporary offices, 1, Threadneedle-street. It is said that the prospectus of the Anglo- Austrian Bank will be issued to-morrow. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 9,9681., compared with the cor responding week of last year, which was the Epsom race week. The following communication has been received from the Great Western Railway Company of Canada. _ _ TO TIM IDITOR OP rill TIM M.

Raccoon. best and common steady, but middling qualities in less request. Otter and bisher in middling demand. The annexed, on the silk market, is from the circular issued yesterday by Messrs. Durant and Co. : W. have to report a month of very limited business in silk. At one moment considerable fears were entertained that the European crop, which is the early stages had ap peered all favourable, was going badly, but this produced co great effect, the feeling was too abort lived ; some slight dispositis• was manifested to buy at the lowest prices previously established, bat any attempt to obtain improved prices was determinedly resisted, so that the only real effect was to check the fell which had been going on tardily but continuously for some weeks. During the last fortnight we have bad more or lets alternation of hope and fear as to the crop, but at the present moment the balance of feeling is clearly in favour of the malt being 6 decided improvemeot upon the last few . y . ears —one thing is certain it is very generally expected th a t there will be • material reduction in eost• Trade unfortunately is so bad that consumers see awe or lees indifferent as to three little fluctuations of feeling. The arrivals of the month have not been large l but the deliveries have bees very small. hence the doe shows a flight increase, and is to reality considerable—cepecially of Japes silk, and t is thin clam pertieululy that feels the influence of the expec tations as to European crop. IBragil silk has abased the general quiet. The next periodical public sales are fined to commence on the 24th lastest. toL I ea 153 156 130 156 80 82 101 108 126 118 i i lx• id ea i Ire 130 ill 103 106 .4 VI 110 ft 107 1I Ilk llt Ii 00 4:' .t- BRITISH posszetuosts.

ROUES OF LORDB..--MONDAY, Joins & ROYAL GOMMISSION. Their lordships met at 4 o'clock for the perms of beate ing the royal assent given by oommission to various bine. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chinosnor, lad of St. Germans, and Lord Kiapdowa. The Comm onshavlne been summoned the royal =Nat was t n = in the nee= form to the Customs and Inland Ravens. the Corrupt Primness at Median Bill, Elections es the Remo Bill, Fairs (Ireland) Bill, Illegitimate Children prolamin Ball, New Zealand Boundariesßill, and a number of railway and private bills. Their lordships then adjourned daring pleasure, sad re. asemabled at 5 o'clock. PETITIONS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented several politicise against the Prison Ministers Bill, and other petitioos se behalf of Poland from the Sheffield Committee for Foreign Affairs, and from Maidstone. COURTS OF RECONCILEMENT. Lord BROUGHAM presented • bill to their lordliness' house, the object of which was to establish Courts of Re , *incitement Weiler to those which wen 4 exteasive opera tion on the oontinent. It was entirely a permissive bill, and bad been drawn with the militant* of Mr. Makatea Kerr, judge of the Sheriffs' Court of the City of Leeds% and he believed it must ultimately become law, althougli, as in the case of the county courts and the =eminence of parties in suits, it might be destined to considerable and prolonged opposition. The bill wee read a first time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were reed a third time and passed : The Meal's Estate, the Formes Railway Company and Bar row Harbour Commiesious, the Fumes end Midland Rail way, and the Mid Wales Railway. THE STATE OF POLAND. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH roes, pursuant to notice, to inquire into the einemt state of the negotiations with nape= to Poland. He wished to ask the noble earl the Secretary . for Foreign Affairs whether there had been such progress m the negotiations as to afford a reasonable hope of a satisfactory settlement of the =fain of PALW. The strength of diplomacy now was the of the insurrection —it ha DO other, = s r= might depend upon it that, great as the sufferings of the Poles had been, they might have suffered for years longer, but, if they had suffered in tranquillity and silence, never would the sympathy of Europe have been extended to theca. (Cheers.) They had the sympathy of Europe because they had the courage and the spirit to rue up against their oppreeson —it wasbeaoes they showed themselves worthy of liberty that all Europe felt they ought to possess it. All he could say to the Poke was this : • Persevere. Keep your arms strike down your enemy wherever you can meet him. Yon have embarked in a career of honour, of patriotism, and of glory. Yoe may fall in the field, but it is better to fall there than to die in the ranks of your emery. (Cheers.) Persevere, then ; mid depend us. it, having adopted your cou rse, —dictated perhaps despair, but saoctioned junco and by reason—you w 'have the respect of all men ; and I trust Providence will bless your efforts." (Loud cheers.) Earl RUSSELL said it was hardly consistent with his position to ester into the details of the question put to him by the noble earl. The Rube= government had re plied to the notes of the three powers at greae length, es pecially to that of Great Britain, and eltagss that as tbe powers bad offered no euggestioa, Romig was placed in sa unsatisfactory position. Consequent upon this the English and French governments had decided upon offering a sug gestion, which they communicated to the Austrian govern ment on Saturday last, and • reply _ was expiated from Vienna on Wedges*. This being the came it was not expedient for him to enter further into the naives of the agreement which the French and English govern ments had arrived at. With regard to restoring the Meg dom of Poland, the difficulties in the way of accomplishing that object were such as in 1815 to completely belle all the efforts of Lord Castlereagb. No doubt en armistice could not be ashy carried out ; but humanity and policy alike dictated that the ruthless and terrible war now min to Poland should be speedily put an end to, for it would be impossible for diplomacy to do anything so long as the country was the scene of such • struggle. He believed, indeed, that an armistice must be the first step to any useful or satisfactory oego tiatioes. The noble earl continued :—The whole gab ject therefore is surrounded with immense difficulties —difficulties which certainly make me hesitate in giving any assurance to the noble earl that we could come to a satisfactory termination of these discussions. In a grmt matter like this our position is bound, as I conceive, by the treaty of 1815. Our present polities is that, being parties to the treaty of 1815, and that terms which tasty not being annulled, we have to propose we think are consistent with that tzeaty, which =add teed to the welfare of Poland, and to secure a durable peace iu that portion of the world. Such ia ous t ask. It not our task to propose to erect a great kingdom Poland, wending of all the ancient Polish provinces, and propose such a plaa to the acceptance of the different parties to the treaty of Vienna. But it is our endeavour, as I think nought to he. to conduct these negotiations with the different pewees of Europe in such a manner as to preserve the general peace. For my pert I can see no advantage that will arise from armed intervention on behalf of the Poles. I can see nothing but confusion and calamity from such as interruption to the peace of Europe. I cannot see what clear and definite object the . British government could pro pose to justify them in eotenng upon such a oourse. (Hear, hea I protest against entering into such a task. (Hear, hear.) I ask it with humility, because I feel bow incapable I ern of conducting affairs of snob great difficulty; but as holding a grave and responsible office in the government of the couttry, entrusted by parliament to conduct these negotiations, I do venture to ask your lordships is pause at this time, and until further COMmunbele• Lions have been h ad. (Hear, hear.) When those communications have been had, her Majesty's government will fearlessly prove= to parliament the result at which they have arrived, whatever that result may be. I should be happy to be able to say that the freedom of Poland has been obtained, but if after all our efforts we are obliged to say we have failed to obtain those concessions to which the Poles will look for freedom, whatever our coarse may be I shall be ready to submit that course to the combined judgment of the two houses of parliament. (Hear, bear.) The Duke of RUTLAND said what he would implore their lordships was, not by a maudlin sentimentality, or feeble sympathy with the Poles, or by ascertain and un meaning diplomacy, to rivet the fetters which all desired to take off. Let their lordthips not countenance this invite motion, but leave its suppreasion to the Emperor, who could then carry out the reforms which be had promised. Lord BROUGHAM trusted it would be possible to give the Poles a constitution establishing their inter. aid independence, but still leaving them subject to Russia, and that if such a constitution could be obtained for them they would listen to his noble friend's advice, sad accept it. It was now half a century since be first advocated the caused Poland, in oonjunctiou with hie lamented friend, PrinoeCiartoryski. He (Lord Brougham) was not then in par liament, but he addressed to the public an appeal for the Polish cation wbicb be trusted was Dot without some effect. He hoped, therefore, they would list= to the advice of an ancient friend and ally, and be satisfied with an independent kingdom, but still acknowledging suzerainty to Russia. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, who was almost inaudible, was understood to express his doubt that anything but the establishment of an independent Polish kingdom, each as was contemplated by the Cougrees of Vienna, would satisfy the Poles. The importance of settling this question could not be over-estimated. Lord DENMAN said a few words deprecating agitation in this country on behalf of Poland. and the subscribing of money, not in aid of the wounded, but to purchase arms for Ithe insurrectionists. The noble lord added that he did not speak with a view of having himself reported in a garbled manner in the newspapers, but in the hope that what he said would have some inflation upon their lordships. Earl GREY had heard with some alarm that negotiations on the subject of Pole= were still is progress. He believed that the more serious the contest became in that country the more doubtful would be the success of any oegotiation. His noble friend the Secretary of State bad said that this country ought not to take up arms ou behalf of the Poles, and if oar policy was to be abstentioa from any active part in the struggle, it appeared to him that diplomatic interfe rence, however well meant, was more likely to aggravate existing evil. than to diminish them. He feared that in the present =ate of parties on both ides the only effect of such interference would be to prolong the contest, and he quite agreed therefore with the noble duke in deprecating any attempt at diplomacy. Hie advice to the house was that they should not make any r attempt to induce the government to interfere in foreign affairs ; and any advice given in this instance could eer etiprecilreslaida stren a g oth op in in g ion benefic t i t th H e e y w d7d ld DOt ill ooo w teni nelus pl i a o te One of the projects for the employment of the soy ulterior proceedings, the less advice they tendered in this matter the better.
