Trim is one use of Convocation which even its opponents will not call in question. The claims made in its name as a representative body, am aright fal ecclesiastical legislature, as a synod exercising spiritual authority, are futile and absurd ; bat at lout it reveals the clerical mind : not the best order of that mind, which Tether avoids than seeks meetings and conventions, but the mind of the average beneficed clergyman, who, in his own town or rural village, is a centre of influence and authority. An assembly of eminent divines or successful workers of large town and city parishes would make a better figure before the public than Convocation as it is now composed; but then it would leave us ignorant of the quality and tendency of im portant moral and social forces which are constantly at work all over the country. Convocation brings to the front, and encourages to speak out, a class of clergy simpler of purpose and plainer of speech than those whose habits are formed under the restraints of the mixed social life of cities. They exhibit the clerical character in the robust vigour of its natural state, and it is no small advantage to learn by observing them what England would be if it were in the hands of the clergy. This is what Convocation does for us, and if it did less it would be a useless body even if it had revenues as large, buildings as handsome, and furniture as gorgeous, as President M•BONY in his Fenian palace. From this point of view it appears that although Convocation is by no means qualified to legislate for a country in which opinions are marked by all the variety of freedom, it may nevertheless usefully contribute to the preparatory work of legislation, and instruct those who must make our laws. The House of Commons, know ing what Convocation approves, has got a good way towards knowing what it should itself avoid. Conversely it has become accustomed to think there must be something good in what the same hod/ dislikes and fears. The discussion of the Conscierce Clause in the Lower House on Wednesday is a cue in point. The Conscience Clause, as the pub lic is aware, is • condition which the Education Committee of the Privy Council urges in certain circu instances upon the managers of the schools which accept grants of money from the Treasury. In a very large number of cases, especially in villages, there is and can be only one school in the pariah in a condition to accept aid from the State, and it WWI to the Committee of Council only fair that that school shall be open to all the inhabitants of the pariah without distinction of religions belief. These schools are under the direction of the clergyman of the parish, and the Church Catechism is accordingly taught. But if instruction in that Catechism be insisted on, the child of the Dissenter will be shut out of a school supported in part by the money of Dissenters, and the existence of which makes the maintenance of another school precarious or impossible. The Committee of Council think that it would not be fair to take money from taxes paid alike by Churchmen and Dissenters and use it to produce such a remit:. Aocordingly, it has devised an arrangement which, while it leaves the system of religious teaching in the school intact, and does not deprive one Church- I man's child of the religious education which its parents value, permits the child of the Dimmer ter to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic at the school, and to receive its religions training elsewhere. It seems as it nothing could be fairer than such an arrangement. But it is one that encounters the most intense hostility among the clergy. They say, " these are Church schools, and it is tyranny " not to permit us to manage them entirely in our "own way." Of course, if they were Church schools, and nothing more, it would be tyranny even thus to interfere with them. But they are also State schools, and while the Church is enoonraged to maintain its own system in them, the State, which represents people of all religions opinions, must . . demand guarantees in the interest of all. The Conscience Clause secures the liberty of the Dis senter without impairing in any respect the value o: the schools to the Churchman. Such is the case between the school managers and the State. But the Conscience Clause is so offensive to the ob- jecting clergy because it proceeds on a principle which strikes at one of their most cherished pre tensions. Who is to be responsible for the re ligious training of a child? That is a question which has agitated or is agitating every country in ' Europe. The Romish priesthood allege th►t they have a Divine right to educate all baptised chil dren, and in this Protestant country a large portion of our own clergy show themselves well disposed to assert a like pretension. On the ' other hand, in all countries this claim has been resisted in the name of the indefeasible right of the parent. It may be that in four awes out of Oavemdishes will do, 005g4ris pones, he is sure to be selected first. If be is not, he has cousins enough and seats enough to make the slight very dangerous, not to speak 111 the sympathies of caste. Lord Harlington will do undoubtedly es Secretary at War, may do, for aught outsider' can tell, when on Earl Russell's re►ire ment the viceroyalty of the whip falls, sa it in all human probability will, to him. On the whole, all dream stoooes considered, the ohanges now announced are beneficial, introdooe romper blood into the cabinet, said enable it to mod an exalted and vigorous opposition with lees exclusive reliance on the abilities and popularity of a d.e. man. Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Goebert Lord Harting too, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Staeafeld, Mr. Forster, and Sir Beeadell Palmer, ought to be, and if well handled will be, a most dangeaeus phalanx to meet in parliamentary strife. By the aide of Earl do Grey, the Saturday Review says, Sir Charles Wood towers into the eminence of a statesman. Though weak in parliament Sir Charles was strong in office, and derisg his long tonsure of power made no con spinout, mistake, on many meadow, Indeed, proving bim• self wiser than the load authorities. But Lord de Grey has net one qualilastioe for his office except that be is a whig noblemaa—that his sotecierlsnts encourage an expecta tion that he will emus down regularly to his office, and that when be gets there be will be *amid to his subor dinates. He may, however pews useful in acting as the social head of Indian society is England, offering them civilities to Indians on coming to Ragland which were never vouchsafed by Sir Charles Wood. Lord Hartintoe's appointment is ornamental ; Mr. Stassfeld's useful. The latter bon. gentleman is mom than an able official. He brings to the discharge of public duties strong, char views, sod an admirable power of framing the essential point among a multitude of detail,. He has now a port of con siderable importance, and one where be will be able to show his powers. Hereafter the position now offered to , him will mark out Mr. Stanafeld for the cabinet, and there is no reason, if he shows himself competent, why he should I not make India a field belonging to himself in ministerial arrangements. It is to be observed that all the members of the House of Commons who, without the advantages of whig oonnexioe, have lately been offered office, belong to that section which has strong and decided opinions —men of a new type, very different both from the ordinary whig official and from the unattached liberals who seek a reputation by being as dangerous to the ministry as to its opponents. As far as a judgment can be formed at the beginning of the session the Saturclayßeview thinks there will be little opening for party contests until the Reform Bill is intro duced. The cattle plague seemly admits of factious treat ment, as there can be few members who prefer the interesta of any political party to the m►terial welfare of the com munity. As the budget will not be brought forward before Easter, the malt-tax agitation must necessarily be sus pended, and there is no other suffering interest which calls for immediate relief. If Lord Russell keeps his promise, a delay of three weeks will not be regarded se excessive. In the meantime there will be no difficulty in ascertaining whether a liberal secession can be organised with sufficient forte towable the dissentients to hold the balance (Agorae'. The Economist says there are some ind'eations —though perhaps only probable and dubious lediostions--of the ap proach of somewhat greater ease in the money market. The Indian and Brazilian demand, arising from the cotton payments, have slackened ; new business, there is reason to believe, has been checked by the high rates of diacount, and the foreign mosey in London is augmenting. All these movements help the market. There have daring the week been several failures of contractor; and others are still rumoured. The finance and discount companies which bold the bills of such contraotots are necessarily affected. The wonder of all sensible persons has hem that many of these contractors could go on so long. They made railway. (mainly cis their own account) in poidtions where they could not pay, and they obtained the capital wanted to make them at great interest in Lom bard-street. That a Mate of things so anomalous should continue was the marvel ; we cannot wonder that it has now ceased. There is a great cry just now against the finance companies, sod as it has spoken evil of them when they were in prosperity, the Economist ventures to speak a tittle well of them now they are in adversity. There is a sort of security not immediately available, which these companies can rightfully advance upon, and which a banker cannot advance upon. They save better people from temptation. If soy one is to be ruined by bad best nese, it is better that it should boa new finance company which has little of other people's money, than an old back which has mush of other people's moray. It is even more important that these companies give means to great firms in difficulties to get out of them, without a collapse that frightens the world. The "shell" of a great house ones had to stand as long as it could ; there was nothing else for it to do. But now it can tarn itself into a company, and whether the company answer or not, the public benefits. The prestige of the great house is diminished easily ; it does not fall with a ersah. Even if four or five years afterwards the limited company gets into difficulties, no one cares ; it affects no one but the company itself; and their credit is too meat to affect by its cessation the general public, to c►use dif fused fear. the Court.

Reviewing last night's debate on the Address, the Daly News remarks that though the mental connexion be tween the insurrection in Jamaica and the impending reform bill which led Sir John Pakington to touch on them in suc cession may not be very obvious, nevertheless it Livery real. Usenasoieusly, the feeling which makes men oppose the extension of popular liberties at home induces them to apologise for the violation and denial of justice abroad. Men who were ready enough to level upwards from their OWII, position are by no means so well inclined to level downwards from it. Mr. Marsh and Sir H. Hoare present two stages in the tory metamorphosis. The former bases his opposition to the extension of the suffrage upon an experience gained is a aat;on taken out of Newgate, end it might be safer to withhold the franchise altogether from the artisans than t 6 offer it on the patrooiaing terms which Sir Hwy would make as the condition. With Mr. Bouvene's arguments against the nomination boroughs and the in equality of the representation of the counties, the Daily News agrees; but has he ever said so before? Would he say es now, if a redistribution of coats were proposed by the government! Her Majesty's ministers will take the course which in their view is most likely to secure the end at which he and they alike aim, and if Mr. Marsh and Mr. Bouverie unite in opposing their measure, the conclusion will be general that under dissimilar pretexts they have the Ilan purpose. It cannot be too plainly stated for the information of the constituencies of the United Kingdom that those members of the liberal party who, cur the reform gusatioe, sot with the tones. ue consciously or tan oorieciouly oiling for the toriel. The Herald believes that as Bad Russell has been trad ing upon reform for the last 15 years, so he evidently Imeans to trade upon it for the remainder of his political career, and he has this time, as before, taken care that he will bring forward a bill which will have very little Ghana) of moeptance, and whioh, if tarried, would leave I the general question unsettled and the liberal party its reform cry. But the Herald will not affect to suppose that there is any danger of s mere franchise reform bill paring the Legislators, for both conservative and all the more thoughtful and moderate liberals will oppose it. Formed liberals, the Telegraph contends, will leave it to the cabinet to asciertain how much of that upon which we all spec ciao be now carried. If Lord Russell sees that he can carry the 61. franchise, but that to seek also the aboli tion of rotten and nomination boroughs would at this juncture imperil a bill which, in the foolish hope of finality, some of the tories might otherwise mooed, even Mr. Heaved,' might be content to avail himself of the sub. stantial reform within his reach, leaving the questions of the future to the state-manitip of the future. The Star cannot acquit the government of blame. Their bill ought to have been ready, sad members ought to have been told that they were expected to speak for or against It, net to cavil at it—to pass or reject it, not to clamour for something quite different and quite impracticable. Government would have made all sure long ago if any pressing party question of confidence had imperilled their existence as an administration ; why should they be lees alert and active in a matter incalculably more serious as affecting the national welfare, and not a whit less critical as affecting their tenure of power? While they sleep, the tory enemy is sowing tares among the wheat. Liberal members are enjoying the dangerous and depraving luxury of conservative cheers, and the house is becoming demo. Wised. LNOISLATION AND TER CATTLI PLAGE% The Times sees in the arguments yesterday before Sir G. Grey of the speakers representing forty counties of Great Britain, an illustration of the strength and decision of the opinions entertained. According to the view of the agri cultural clauses the prohibition of the traffic in live cattle must be unqualified in its rigour, without one stogie exception in favour of place or bout, and for this the immediate action of government MI superseding that of loos' authorities is requisite. Oar choice, it is now plain, ban been but • choice of time from the very first. The only method of staying the plague was by isolation. That isolation would have been easy at first, and euier even • month ago than now ; bat it will be easier now than • month hence, and n - sthing but the experiment stands between us and the total ruin of the national stock. Better late than never is is much as we can say ; but it is something to be still able to say that. _ . Seeing that Earl Russell and his colleagues have always been two months behind the plague the Herald is not sur prised that Mr. Gladstone cannot see his way to any mea sure that will help the land from ita many difficulties, but is full of fancy devices for effsstiog small elide. The Herald goes on to sesame that if the government completely prohibits the removal of cattle from district to district or from the places of import to the markets, and makes the destruc tion of dimmed cattle imperative, it mast adopt some scheme, such as that of national amurance, which will save the agriculturists from ruin aad set aside the chalices of eonoesemeat or avarice,. The Telegraph does not oppose reimbursement of every flaeoriptioo. The actual ravages of the disease must be borne by the sufferers themselves ; but when ever the government steps in and sap, " You dull not remove this beast for sale," or " You yeast kill that one oat of the way," then the owner may rightly answer, " Very well. but in return I lee you for interfering with trade, or for inflicting upon me • certain loss by taking away what chance there is of my hoset'a recovery." Oa what system the scale of composes. tics should be graduated, and from what source it should some, are questioes that preseet great difficulty ; but still they ere matters of detail, and would present no permanent obstacle to • laridature quickened by themes of a calamity which, already great, threatens to attain yet mightier dimensions. The Star is of opinion that the farmers by getting higher prices for their cattle have recouped their losase by the murrain. Those who ought moat to complain are the people who are not engaged in the feeding of stock, but who have to pay heavily for the shortcomings mad want of energy of the farmers and country magistrates. The government, bad it done more than it has done, would have interfered mot as justifiably with local authority and with the trade of the country. Its greatest opponents, so long es the danger did not seem great, were the farmers themselves. Every pre. stationary measure proposed had a de 4 pet made spinet It. Now the tendency is all the other way. There are some among those who uttered their complaints on This. day and on Thursday who would fain stop the importation of foreign cattle. It is earnestly to be hoped that their ad vies will not be listened to. THE WEEKLY PRESS.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (riox owl owl! PARIS, FRIDAY Emily°. The Court of Caseation decided to-day, contrary to the " conclusions" of M. Delangle (M. Dupin's successor in the Procureur-General's chair), that the mutineers of the Fcederis Area must be tried by a civil and not a military court. It has quashed the judgment of the Imperial Court of Rennes, which sent the prisoners before a court martial. The news, which has gone the round of the papers, that Savfet Pacha, the Turkish ambassador, had brought his wife to the last ball at the Tuileries, turns out to have been a canard. The lady pre sented by him, and mistaken by the Evenement (which now acknowledges its error) for his wife, was an Armenian catholic, the wife of Abro Effendi, now on • special mission in Paris on behalf of the Ottoman go vernment. Thus are swept away a number of edifying reflections about the march of intellect in Turkey and the reform of Turkish manners. Savfet Pacha has a harem in Constantinople, and keeps his wives very strictly veiled and locked up according to old custom. A play by M. Glais-Bizoin, the opposition deputy, is interdicted by the censure. It will be brought out at Geneva. The title is, U, orai Courage; ou, un Duel en Trois Parties. A protestant in the department of the Gironde has been tried by a police tribunal for working on a fate day (the feaat of All Saints), and fined lfr. He has appealed to the Court of Caseation.

I have requested your attendance here to-day in an ex traordieary WASiOn, and I am afraid at some amount of is oonvenience to yourselves, for the purpose of submitting to you a bill to provide osetain statutory powers which will enable the royal commissioners to compel the mitten duos of witnesses, sod to examine them on oath under a royal commission about to be issued by be; Majesty the Queen fcr an inquiry into the origin, nature, and circumstances of the late disturbance in this island, and with respeot to the measures adopted for the suppression of the same. The bill will be placed before you without delay, and I confidently trust in your wisdom and prudence to give the royal oommissioners such powers as will facilitate the inquiry ordered by her Majesty.
