Ir is well that before the session closed, the at tention of Parliament has been called to the recent proceedings of Convocation, so scandalous to English liberty and the English Church, in reviving its claim to condemn books which may be displeasing to a majority of its members. The assertion of an authority which is more congenial to the Romish than to any Protes tant Church is an act of incredible folly, but the arbitrary and irregular manner in which it has been exercised has disgusted all right-minded English men. Lord Hocotrrow, in a speech full of the results of learning and research, brought the subject under the notice of the House of Lords, and inquired of the Government whether its attention had been given to the acts of Convocation. The Lotto Cautcsir.oa's reply will dispel a crowd of doubts that have gathered about the whole subject. First of all, the pretended "synodical judgment," prepared with infinite precaution, introduced with solemn for mality, and passed by only a email majority, is no judgment at all. It is directed against " a vo " lume," and does not strike at the writings of one of the Essayists, each of whom is entitled to say that the condemnation does not apply to him. The Loan CRANCIILLOR told the House that "what was denominated a synodical judg " ment was a set of what he might call well lnbri " cated words, but it was a sentence so oily, so " absurd, and so saponsceous, that no one could " grasp it, but, like an eel, it slipped through bis " fingers. It must mean something, or nothing, " and he was glad to be able to tell his noble friend " that it had literally no signification at all." No doubt it was intended to affect somebody, but ' in fact the attempt was abortive ; nobody could declare that he was injured by it, and, having re gard to the impotence of the form of words, her Msreerr's Government heel no intention to inte- fere in the matter. The Loan CeAsestroa, how ever, gave his most reverend and right reverend hearers fair warning. Although this time Convo cation has been saved by its own timidity from doing what its leaders wanted the public to think it was doing, it has been on dangerous ground. Convocation of itself has no legal jurisdic tion, and the " synodical judgments" it pre tends to issue are no more judgments than a Birmingham token is a Queries penny. The ecclesiastical constitution of this country is very intelligible, and it is dominated everywhere by the supremacy of the Crown, the only security of the laity against the pretensions of an established clergy. The final exercise of all ecclesiastic?! jurisdiction is in the Crown, by way of appeal. But from Convocation there is no appeal: there fore Convocation has no jurisdiction. Let Bishops or any others really distress the Quaan'n subjects by usurping an authority which they have Doty and the law is amply sufficient to reach them. LORD RORKRT Curl. will not reckon the Report of the Select Committee appointed chiefly through his zeal and industry, to inquire into the dealings of the Committee of Council with the Inspectors of Schools, among the trophies of his Parliamen tary campaign. It will be remembered that last April the noble lord opened an elaborate attack on the Council-office by charging it with mutilating the reports of the Inspectors, for the purpose of excluding from them statements and opinions adverse to its own views, thus violating its obligations to Parliament, and destroying the value of the reports. It was, he said, a question involving the truth and purity of information upon which the House legislated in regard to large sums of money derived from the taxes of the people. Referring specifically to Mr. Lows, the Vice-President of the Committee of Council, he said,—"The right loi. gent's " man was a formidable man for his subordinates " to deal with, and he could not therefore venture "to quote the authority for the information he " had received, for fear of bringing down upon " some unfortunate persons the vengeance 43! their " chief. But he asked the house to believe him " when be told them that the sort of things cut " out were such as he had stated." Warming with his subject, he proceeded to demand, " Could the House trust to reports which the " Minister who presented them had submitted to " an expurgating process by which he excluded all " that was hostile to himself, and admitted all " that was in his favour f What would the owner "of a distant estate think if his land steward " kept back the reports of the bailiff because they " contained opinions with which he did not agree? " He asked any gentleman who was the possessor " of property to say how long a man acting in " such a manner would retain his position. The " remedy was in the hands of the House." The House, most rashly, as it was convinced too late, accepted Lord ROBERT CECIL', assurances, and passed a resolution in accordance with his speech. But Mr. Lowe very properly refused to sit down n ider this intolerable imputation, and persisted, in the face of a strong the charge as personal Chafer 'lowing ts the firmness of Lord Pazirissrow, he obtained a Select Committee to inquire into the practices of the department. The Committee was compered of Mr. Howls, who acted as Chairman, Lord Hornam, Mr. HOWARD, Mr. Doneorr ' and Sir P. ROIRTON, the Loan ADVOCATI, and Lord ROBRRT CICIL himself also serving on it to examine witnesses but without the power of voting. The witnesses examined were Mr. LINOMN, the Rev. F. WAT/LINR, the Rev. H. LONOUBVILLZ Mr. TILLTARD, Mr. J. R. Moans, Mr. M. Amoral, Mr. Thmuro, Earl Gaarrvu.r.s, and Mr. Lows. The Committee made a searching investi gation, and have presented • very fall report, of which the following is the ea/curial passage : The principle Involved la the subject of this *airy and In the resolution is important. Your committee have cors full, considered the action of the department, and bars cocas to the condole° that the sepervieion exercised in objecting to the insertion of irrelevant matter, of mere dissertation, and of controversial argument, is consistent with the powers of the Committee of Council, and has, on the whole, been exercised fairly, and without evasive strictness. If pas sages occur in the reports, as printed, consisting of infer ior* or arguments which may tend to support tie edger tional views of the department, other nemeses may be found which have a contrary tendeacry. No abjection is made to statements of facts observed by the impactors within the circle of their official experience, whatever may be their bearing on the policy of the Committal of Council. The knowledge, or even a reseoeable suspicion, that the Inspectors' reports are subject to alteration, either directly or indirectly, at the instance of the department, luta, without doubt, a tendency to lower their value, if they are to be regarded as iodependent sources of testis:Gay is matters of opinion or controversy touching the educational views or policy of the Committee of Council. It appears, however, to your committee that, whatever may have been the nederstaoding node, which the appointment of Inspectors was originally sanctioned, parliament canact be presumed to be ignorant (since the year 1858 at latest), that the heads of the office have exercised a authorship over the inspectors' reports as to the insertion of argumentative or irrelevant matter ; sad your committee are of opinion that some such power is essential to the effectual working ! of the department so long as it retains its present coestitu• tics and functions. The Council-office may thank Lord ROPIRT CIVIL for having elicited this impartial and thorough vindication of its practice. As for the noble lord, we do not know whether it is too much to hope that this exposure will teach him to restrain in future that fatal facility of imputation which has in tl4s instance carried him away and led him to make a personal charge which is proved to have no heals of fact. ebe (Noun. 08B01111$ JOLT 15.

(nom ors OWN PARIS, FRIDAY Eva. The Pays, in an article signed by the secretary of the redaction, makes the declaration which I consider highly important as expressive of the deliberate views of the French government, that Europe cannot for a moment " admit the pos sibility" of Denmark becoming a member of the Germanic Confederation. Such a project, it says, might suit the personal interests of the King, but it would be contrary to the national sentiment and the national interest. It refuses to consider as serious " a combination so impracticable that it resembles a utopia, and may therefore be put aside without discussion." Peace, it says, can only be made "in the order of ideas" sub mitted to the Conference, and by it rejected. The belligerents, now treating with each other, must ne cessarily negotiate on the same bases. In short, the only question is what is to be the extent of the concessions required by the conquerors I France will watch the settlement with "great anxiety" and an "ardent sympathy" for the brave Danish people, whose heroism and patriotism has shown itself worthy of its old renown. It is a matter of profound indifference to France whether the terri tory of which Denmark is to be shorn shall be given to an Oldenburg or an Angnstenburg. But France does consider it important that Denmark should continue to exist in such conditions of in dependence and vitality as will maintain its rank as • European power. The most legitimate pre tender, in the eyes of the Pays, will be the one whose ambition is the most moderate, and who asks for the least. The Patrie states that Lord Cowley yesterday called upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the express purpose of congratulating him on the recent successes of French arms in Algeria., and the prompt pacification of that country. I should have passed over this paragraph as being the chronicle of a matter of course piece of diplomatic civility devoid of interest were it not suggested to me that England has never before in any direct way re cognised French dominion in Africa. If tkat hew, Lord Cowley's viait is significant, and may be con strued as a step towards the entente cordials which France seems now to be seeking. An election for a councillor-general at Servian, in the Herault, has been gnashed by the council of the prefecture, on the ground that the majority was made up by fraudulent votes of non-electors.

Her news ban been anticipated. THE TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN CANADA. The Canadian pewees received by the North American, which arrived in Liverpool yesterday, give very long account& of the terrible railway sod dent in Canada. We extract the following partial calor' from the Montreal Herald of Thursday, June 30 : The accident occurred apparently through the negligence of the engine driver, who, as we shall hare occasion to notice presently, has been plac ed under arrest. The Neckar, a large packet, similar to those which bring the migraine to New York, left Hamburg about the Irlth of May, and arrived at Quebec on Monday last, bringing ont 538 emigrants. These consisted of Germans, Nor wegian, and Poles, whose destination was principally Western Canada, a few being bound foe the western B{BW. All had oossidereble mesas with them. Oa Tuesday night they were forwarded, with the exception if about thirty of the poorer class, by special trait from Quebec. There must therefore have been fully five hundred, if not more, oo the cars, which proceeded without accident to Belted Mountain. Here the Richelieu is spanned by ea iron bridge, on the top of which the oars pass. A drawbridge forms the eosinxios between the hat pier and Om abutment on the Moaned aide. The bridge is about 1,100 feet in length to the opens( of the drawbridge, and about 45 feet shove the water, which is some tee feet deep in the canal under the drawbridge. It a that the rule of the company is that this draw should always be supposed to be ono. and that the two should therefore come to a died stand ou coming to the bridge, and not attempt to proceed until the proper signal has been given. But at fifteen minutes wit one on Wednesday morning, the special Irani approached ; the drawbridge was open to permit the pawn of • steamer which bad some barges loaded with grain I. tow, and, as we are informed, the train did not pull up at all, notwithstanding the estab- lished role, and the display of the dings( signal—the red light—which should immediately have warned the con ductors of the train to stop it, and sot go oa any further until the light was changed into a white as.. The position of the bridge gives a view of the signal from a distance of 1,625 feet. Hence the mystery of the conduct of the engine driver, Boroey, who, it is *tined, could have stopped the train in from five to six hupdred feet. Barney, it is said, admits heeler seen the danger signal, bat alleges that he found it impossible to stop the train is time. Particulars as to this point, however, will probably be elicited at the coroner's inquest. All we know at prenest is, that the train was not stopped, but came dashing on at a considerable Ispeed--the drawbridge was swung round, and the cars crashed headlong one after the other, into the yawning abyss, bringing death and destruction' epos the unfortunate occupants. The locomotive and tender, with the first five cats (baggage), went in first of course, the six passenger oars piling down on top of them with terrific violence, being precipitated a distance of some 70 feet. At this very moment, as we already mentioned, a steamer was passing through with six barges in tow, and the accident would undoubtedly have beep of a doubly mournful character had it not so happened that the cars fell on one of the bargee, sinking it of course, but preveoting the wreck from being submerged to such an extent as it would otherwise have bees had the canal bees clear. The last three passenger ears, falling on the accumulated debris of the others, shunted slightly to one side, and over to the opposite embankment, is ea the Montreal side. From these the living were chiefly takes, the other care metal: dog few who had escaped a watery grave, or mortal missy is the horrible crash. A large number of the employes of the ooropany had been sent out at an early hour, and on oar arrival at on °Week, we foetid that every exertion had been made to rescue the living, and recover the bodies of the deed. No one was taken out alive, we believe, after 12 o'clock, when a little child was found, singular to say, altogether uninjured, lying in its dead mother's arms. We are told that the man in charge of the barge sink, had a narrow serape along with his family. He beard the train thundering along, looked up sad saw the draw opal, and, being thee immediately underneath, had just time Wasatch his wife and little childree away before the cars de needed oe his vessel. Forty-five deed bodies were recovered early in the day, may eighteen of these being duke. The remains were conveyed to a shed by the river side, where they prevented a most sad spectacle. Many of the dead were terribly disfigured tied isjured, and some of the children were only a year or two of age—families, io f ac t, having apparently perished together. Many poor creatures were wandering about scalding relatives or friends, bemoaning their sad fate, and the to•lascholy ending of their hitherto prosperous voyage, 004 dissipation of their hopes and anticipations formed oe coming to try their fortunes in a new country. It was now that the Germans and other haterpretem who went out proved useful in realties known the want. and inquiries of the poor people. lining this time, farther exertion • were beteg made to get khan burled is the we submerged in the No sae who lei leaked into one of abate which =kit be reached Nom above, would ever desire to see seek another *it.

The camp amusements of last night call for a word or two of comment. The band of musical amateurs (some twenty in number) whose efforts met with such unqualified success, have a wide reputation in art circles, and have exercised a not inconsiderable influence over several phases of metropolitan life. The 38th (Artist's) Corps of Volunteers includes most of the Moray minstrels in its ranks ; the "At Homes " of Mr. Arthur J. Lewi., whereat they sing, and where many celebrities in the world of letters or the arts are constant visitors, are spoken of as amongst the pleasantest gatherings of the season—their change of name from "Jermyn Band" to their present title, and their migration, and that of their admirer', to Campden. hill at the commencement of this year, was cele brated in a humorous cartoon ; a flourishing London club-house (The A r t s ) d a t e its origin from their concerts ; and their assistance and co-opera tion is among the list of attractions counted on for the wicked the club last-named. Last night a large tent—in size and shape resembling that of a travelling circus, lit up by ship's lanthorns being suspended in festoons from its roof—was set aside for the concert, which these gentlemen had kindly consented to pre. Ranged round a grand piano, in a sort of ring, roped off from the rest of the tent, these Moray minstrels delighted several hundreds of volunteers sad their friends, including many ladies, by their exquisite singing, and the cheerful readiness with which they from time to time complied with numerous wishes for an encore. Not only was the tent full, but the sides of one half of it were removed, and the crowds who were unable to gain admission were thus enabled to share the enjoyment of their more fortunate fellows within. The following was the programme of the night, and, with one or two exceptions, it was rigidly adhered to : Art song, " Take thy banner," Coward. Part song, " Slumber dearest," Madrigal, "Come let us join," Beak. Part song, " Where erasing twilight," ..... Put son, " The Tar's Song," Madrigal, " This pleasant of May; Part son, The GoagAbses serenada," Schubert. Chorus, tiger crouches in the wood," Chorus, March (Faust) The camp clock chimed out 11 before " God Save the Queen" brought the concert to a close, after which Lord Elam called for three cheers for Captain Lewis and his friends, and announced, to the loudly expressed satisfaction of everybody present, that the Moray minstrels had consented to favour the camp with another musical treat next Wednesday evening. Criticism upon the per formance of these gentlemen would be superfluous and unnecessary. Their singing throughout was of marked excellence, and it is seldom indeed that the public hears so much good music at a professional concert as was last night freely given to the volunteers and their friends for love.

Malet having spoken strongly in favour of an offer of mediation on the pa, -f England, - - Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that Iwo (Acts were abundantly Dyer—viz, that the war was cruelly destructive to the America= themselves, and the inerevenience 1111 , 1 Adi by it to ether mikes wee excessive. The question rt. rosined, whether the government had say rational grouiid for suppoumg that the Federal governmest would listen to nay pcopossls of mediation at the present moment. Thtre was an old couplet— "They who in quarrels interpose, Will often wipe a bloody sow" (Laughter.) He was not afraid of a bloody nose, but he feared that premature efforts would only have the effect of exasperating the North, and making it more difficult, when the perigee were a little calmed, to effect the object ►'l moat have ie view. The governmeet was led to think, from all accounts that reached them, that this was not the moment at which any mediatory proposal' could be usefully made. Each party was equally confident of ultimate saucer:, and the North especially jealous of interference. If, how. ever, at say future tints reasonable ground could be shown for supposes" that friendly suggestions would be listened to, her Majesty's government would be happy to use their efforts to arrive at each a desirable result as that of termi. natieg this unhappy war. The Morning Herald says: -" We understand that the Hoc. J. IL Mason had an unofficial interview with Lord Palmerston on Thursday at Cambridge House, at the intro duction of Mr. Lindsay, and that the meeting was satis factory to all mires. The withdrawal of Mr. Liu:what's motion was, it is said, the result of that interview, the Premier having given a sort of implied promise to support it ►t a more opportune moment ; that is to ear, when Grant and Sherman have been defeated, and the coo federa.y stand in no Deed of recognition." A CHURCH SCANDAL IN YORKSHIRE. A case was commenced in the Chancery Court, York, on Thursday, sad concluded yesterday, involving a serious charge against a clergyman of the ober& of Ragland.

The proceedings bad been com menced is this court by virtue of letters of request from the Archbishop, presented tinder the authority of the Church Discipline Act. On the 16th of September last the defen dant had been cited to answer certain articles charring him with barium, within two years past, sated towards a female known by the same of Jimmy Wardell with an no becoming familiarity and in an indecent manner, thereby make great scandal to the church, and also with having committed adultery with the maid Jenny Wardell, who is between twenty and thirty years of age. In Huth, 1858, the defendant was isstitnted to the vicarage of the perish ohm& of Pickering, and Jenny Wardell had resided is the market-onm of that tows. The artiales, twenty in number, alleged that ova the 19th of Jose, 1562. the de fendant was for some time alone with Jenny Wardell in the kitchen of the bones, and pat big arms round her waist and repeatedly kissed her.

The 20th metalloid • prayer that the defendant be canesically and daily cor rected and punished, haring rapid t• the bet that the living of Pickering is under sequestention, and rim be cos damned in costs.

Had the charge of adultery been brought home to him, he should have felt it his duty to have alto gether deprived the defendant, whole modoct he mold only sey wee suggestive of ialatnation He then spoke of the fair manner in which the ors bad bees conducted, and briefly reviewed some of the streogest features of the evidence which had been tendered, and particularly that where it bad been shown that the interview after the arch deacon's warning took place in the rector's garden. There was not the slightest pretence of busbies or official deity, he observed, proved to have been promotive of the Mimeos/vs which took place. As to the lady he hoped she bad sot gives way to the defendant's alimonies* and be bed no macro to say that which would Impeach her vitt_ ; but there were the greatest reams* to impute in discretion. He trusted she would isms nothing scone at Paris than she had leaned at Piekerlog. Coder all the eirenmetaeoes, ad looking at hie respoosi bailie*, he had been led to hesitate whether, under any circumstances, he should be justified in allowing the Wooden) to resume his ministerial functions.
