LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 2. THE BISHOPS IN CONVOCATION. TUE Convocation of the Province of Canterbury is a very amusing body. The Bishops, in their lawn sleeves and black gowns, have a somewhat pie-bald or magpie aspect in the House of Lords. They seem an anomaly and an anachronism amid the shooting-coats, the coloured neck-ties, and the lively nether garments of the Lords Temporal. If a deputation of Roman senators with flowing togas could suddenly be introduced into Congress at Wash ington or the Legislative Assembly at Melbourne, the incongruity could scarcely be greater. In their own Chamber the effect is different; they are there alone. You can forget that you aro living in the nineteenth century, as you look upon them and listen to them. THEODORE HOOK, according to an apocryphal story, informed an inoisitive stranger in the House of Lords that the gowned figures who attracted his admiration were " Dowager Peeresses in their own right." Their eloquence, it must be admitted, is somewhat of the feminine type. It has all the vehemence of Igoe:.and ,Abe ; ,license natural to an order of beings whom itwonld_notbepolite to con tradict too sharply. But the presence of lay peers in the House of Lords does occasionally remind the right reverend bench that they are living in a world not yet handed over to the sole and exclusive t . , THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1868. govt Jinni ut of Bishops. What th..y WO/LW Is• if left to titeniselves may be judged of from their language and conduct in Convocathrn. 'Phone you really 144.q1 what the episcopal mind is, when undiluted by the s diuisture of secular persons mud interests. As the air and the sea, when viewed in small qu antities, are apparently colourless, but when looked at in mass show their real hue, so the Bench of Bishops massed together in Convocation come out true-blue. The strongest argument in favour of relieving them from their duties in the House of Lords is do rived from a study of their proceedings in their own place. What element of wisdom, an impar tial person is forced to ask himself, can the authors of the speeches, the resolutions, and the votes recorded in the reports of the Upper house of the Province of Canterbury contri- Lute to the discussions of the House of Lolls? Some positive addition to the poli tics] virtue and legislative capacity of that align it its:.eiiibly is, by pretty general consent, desirable. But the Bishops do not supply it.. They are a negative quality. The sign isistot in mist le. written Li•fort , their names. If the House of L arils were Dally ViillllB tin bench of Bishops, its quality would Is' materially improved. Mr. GI. nstos E has explained that, forecasting, some years ago, the inevitable disestablishment of the Irish Chung', he was inclined to favour the continued presence of the Irish Bishops in the llouse of Lords, as the representatives of tenure by merit. No wonder that ho has since dis carded the idea. The only wonder is that he should ever have entertained it. The Bishops are to a man in different ways meritorious persons. They have all of them got on in life. They have made their way in the world—we mean in the Church. This is a good solid ground for British respect. Some of them have higher claims to admiration. Mr. GLADSTONE'S opinion pro ceeded, however, on the strange mistake of sup posing that different kinds of merit are inter changeable ; that men can be admitted to ad etoulem degrees in the various schools of ex cellence; that a good theologian, a popular preacher, a zealous missionary, needs only to be moved bodily into the House of Lords, in order to make him straightway a wise politician. Con vocation has shown the wisdom of that article of the old Radical creed which would have restricted the Bishops to their spiritual functions, and have allowed them to devote to religious and charitable purposes that portion of their revenues which is now spent upon great establish ments in Belgravia or Tyburnia. Surely, a fashion able archiepiscopal dinner party in Lambeth Palace or Grosvenor-place involves to the extent of Mr. GrxrEß's or Messrs. FORTNCH and MASON'S ac counts, a secularisation of the Church property as complete as if it were sequestered for the endow ment of a hospital or a school house. The reve nues of the Church, we are told, are the wealth of the poor. When a Bishop gives a dinner party to peers and fashionable persons, the poor profit, we suppose, in some vicarious way by the festivity. But, returning from this digression, we must re peat, that if the sceptical man of the world who called Convocation into active existence, after a suspension of its vitality for many generations, had wished to show the incapacity of Bishops for politics, and the practical difficulties which beset the working of Church Establish ments, he could not have adapted his means to his end with more consummate dexterity. Convocation is little more than a hunting-ground of heretics. That is the clerical • substitute for sport. It is the Bishops' Club for pigeon shooting. Poor Bishop COLENSO is turned out periodically, like the tame stag at Windsor, for the purpose of giving the prelates a run, and the view-halloo of the Bishop of OxFonn and the eager shouts of bishops, deans, and proctors fill the air. The Bishop of NALL', is the Aunt Sally of the clerical gatherings. His bat tered image is set up as the mark for the missiles of his brethren. When the epis copal stuff is sent with peculiar force or skill into the injured countenance of the South African prelate, the applause is unbounded. No one of his brothers wishes the Bishop of NATAL to be treated more gently. The only dispute which arises is as to the conditions of the game, and whether particular throwers have played fair. If it were not for Dr. COLENSO, Convocation would have neither work nor play. Perhaps it may raise a smile upon some right reverend face, if we treat their deli berations seriously. The topics which en gage them are of a very subtle class, re sembling those which occupied scholasticism in its dotage. How far Bishop COLENBO is, and how far he is not a Bishop, and where the Bishop in him ends and the heretic begins; how far the Church of England is a Church,,and how far it is an Establishment, and where the Church ends and the Establishment begins, are the problems on which they busy themselves with keenest relish. The Sorbonne was never occupied with nicer questions. The conclusion of the Bishops appears to be that Dr. Counts° is canonically deposed, yet that his ordinations are valid ; in other words, that, though spiritually excommunicate, he can exercise the most stupendous of episcopal gifts, that of conferring the HOLY GHOST upon candidates for the priesthood. As regards the proceedings taken against him, they were not, the Bishops think, in conformity with law, but still substantial justice has been done. In other words, Bishop CoLzuso has had Lynch law, and that is good enough for him. To turn to the other problem which we have men tioned : the Established Church is, accord ing to the Bishop of OXFORD, an Establish ment for the purpose of receiving benefits from the State, and a Church in its right to be uncon trolled by it. These satisfactory conclu sions having been arrived at, the Upper House of Convocation finished its work on Wednesday by passing an address to the QUEEN calling upon Her MAJESTY, personally, to take measures to pre vent the disestablish ment and disendowmont of the Established Church in Ireland. A hun dred and forty-five thousand Irish ladies have approached the throne with similar counsels. Do the Bishops recommend a coup d'tat ? Is Her MAJESTY to govern without a Parliament, or in spite of it ? The Bishop of OXFORD would make a decent counterpart of LAUD ; but Mr. Disa.k.zu would be a poor STRAF FORD; and the other conditions for the great his toric revival which seems to be contemplated are wholly wanting. ALEXANDRA PARK. Tux two days' racing at Alexandra-park, Mus well-hill, and the large number of local and other visitors which these races have attracted, have di rected public attention to a property that is des tined to become a not unimportant rival to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Before this week very few people knew the difference between the Alexandra Theatre at Highbury and the Alexandra Pa ace at Wood-green, and now thousands are L441141(1.5 !peCtlitalllg as to the future of an enter prise which Lea taken possession of one of the most picture que spots in the north of London. The Alexandra' Palace is the substantial result of the great Intentational Exhibition of 1862, and the building and park doubtless represent a capital of more than half a million of money. The property is divided into two aoctions —one the Alexandra Land and Building Company, whose function is either to erect semi-detached villas or to cause them to be erected, the other the Alexandra Palace Company, whose function is to open and manage a gigantic show that shall attract the ltitude without demoralising the neighbourhood Thu first company holds about three hundred acres of the Muswoll-hill estate —seine portion of which, like the `• Angel" at Islington, is, oddly enough, in the parish of Clerkenwell ; and the second eompany holals about two hundred acres of ground, which they have planted ;as a park and garden, and on which they have elected their palace and laid out their race murse. This latter portion of the land is sub jeeted to a n•ntal of tort thousand p!)1111113 a year, which the Alexandra-park Company have to pay, and this, with a fair interest on the capital invt sta d in tho park sotd grounds, would raise the weekly outlay of the company under this head to something like 7001. a week. The working expanses (it the company, when the palace is fur nished and opened as the directors intend to furnish and open it next year, may be any antount from 500/. to 1,000/. per week, according to the entertainments provided. As some guide, we may state that the average working expenses of the Crystal Palace, including everything, are about 1,5001. per week, against average re.•ceipts of 2,5001. per week. It is probable that a now " working company " will be started to lease and manage the Alexandra Palace and Park, with a capital of 50,0001., or as much more as the enterprise re quires to complete it. THE Diriteo of Flervnee mentions that a priest's breviary has just been found in • religious house, with the following Foram,: Ave color vini clari Ave sapor sine part Tua nos hodio inebriari lliveris putt atia. Primum potum bibs titian , Ad reoundum vide fundum; Tortium erit sicut primum; aemper bibs vinum. exultemns Vinum bonnie quo& habemua; Adaquantes condamnomus In acturuam tristitiam. Amon . We give a hasty translation — Hail ! colour of bright wino, Flavour beyond reach is thine! Thou'rt fit, with strength so fine, To make us drunk to-day. The first goblet, wholly gobble it; The one to follow drain it hollow ; if still athirst drink as at first; Thus always drink your wine. WO, drinker, should rejoiee of good wine to have such choice, Water-mixers, with ono vo;ca, Let tie dame for over. Amen. The jolly priest, mays the Diritto, Wag evidently spirituowdy-minded.

Tux Ihisn CHURCH.—The Manchester Church Defence Association celebrated its first anniversary in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester by a general meeting on Tuesday night, and by a bre akfast in the same b uildi ng yesterday morning. The meeting was numerously at tended. The only celebrity present out of a number of noblemen invited was Lord Oranmore, who spoke both at the meeting and the breakfast. Mr. Alderman Lamb, the Rev. Mr. Kearney Mr. H. C. Rakes (of Chester), and the Rev. 8. Cat. POtter were asnongat . the speakers. The speeches contained nothing very original or interesting, being chiefly directed against the devendownient of the Irish Church and congratulations that "we have a House of Lords." It was stated at the breakfast, that 6001. would be needed as the sinews of war to defend the Church, and papers were handed round soliciting donations, but the result evoked no enthusiasm, as the amount of promises was not stated. About 150 per sons were present. Several speakers mentioned the name of Mr. H. C. Bailees as a conservative candidate at the next election for Manchester. Mr. Raikes has unsuocess fully contested Devoaport and Chester at past elections.

CLUB LAW. TAB Times and the Daily News of this morning contain letters from a member of the Athenteum Club, complaining of the circumstances under which a dinner is to be given there to Mr. LONG FELLOW. Earl STANHOPE and other members of the Atheneum have invited the American author to dine with them next Monday, and an intimation has been posted up in the club to the effect that the ordinary " morning room" will be required for the banquet. No other public notice has been given, and the general body of the club has had no opportunity of joining in the hospitality to be offered to Mr. Lorroramow. The natural result is such dissatisfaction as is expressed by' the newspaper correspondent. A club is a republic, and no member of it, or set of members of it, have any right to usurp pri vileges over the rest. To monopolise a room for the purpose of entertaining any man, however eminent, who is not the guest of the entire club is a proceeding upon which the ordinary members should at least have an opportunity of expressing their opinion. When GAELBA.LDI was invited to breakfast at the Re form Club, a few Roman Catholic members protested against the outspoken foe of their reli gion being received there ; but these were over ruled by such an overwhelming majority of their fellow members that the Italian General was practically entertained by the club. Again, in some clubs a room or rooms are in existence in which a moderately large private party can be held. A house-dinner at one of these may mean a banquet on a sufficiently large scale to have a quasi-public character, and yet be in strict ac cordance with club rules. But if, as seems to be alleged, Earl STANHOPE and some of his friends at the Athenaeum have appropriated a common room for a private purpose, every member of their club left out has a right to feel aggrieved. The gentleman who complains this morning chances to be a friend of Mr. LONGFELLOW of thirty years' standing; but though this probably aggravates his sense of personal annoyance, it does not affect the principles of the case. Either the Atheneum Club is entertaining the American poet or it is not. If it is, the members generally should be allowed the chance of being his hosts, if not, Earl STANHOPE should have given his party to him at Chevening or in Grosvenor-place. A RIVAL OF CHLOROFORM. LAUOUrNO-OAS has lately been applied to far more useful purposes than those from which it derives its name. Until recently it has seldom been inhaled without admixture of air. The tube or tap of a bag containing the gas has been taken between the lips, and alter a few inspirations per fect control over the muscles of the month has ceased. The individual has thus breathed air as well as gas, the result being boisterous hilarity, purposeless antics, pngi Bade movements, or other abnormal performances. If, however, the gas be inhaled by aid of an appropriate mask, fitting closely over the mouth and nose, with valved openings for ingress and egress, and thus air be excluded, the patient in a few seconds becomes totally insensible, slightly livid in the face, and breathes with a snoring noise. At this moment an operation may be com menced and continued for two or three minutes without pain or unpleasantness being experienced. The chief advantage attending this use of the pure gas is that within half a minute or a minute the person operated on regains perfect consciousness without any of the disagreeable effects which fre quently follow the employment of chloroform. The main practical disadvantage is that its influence soon ceases, and recovery must be allowed before inhalation can be safely continued. Hence, at present, it :bee been almost exclusively used in dental operations. In these cases great success has attended its administration in most of the Lon don hospitals, and still more in America. So early as 1847 Drs. MORTON and JACKSON, of the United States, performed operations with the aid of laughing-gas, but discontinued its use on find ing that ether was more efficacious; ether was soon superseded by chloroform, which still holds its ground as the best agent for producing pro longed insensibility, but which now, for minor surgical operations, is fast being supplanted by the original anaesthetic. TUE tone of the Conservative papers this morn ing gives probability to the report that a consider able number of the ministerial members intend to try and defeat the Registration Bill, in order to postpone the dissolution of Parliament till next year. It is calculated that nearly one-third of the present House of Commons will not return, and these gentlemen are naturally indifferent to what takes place in the matter of the elections. Others dislike the idea of losing the recess, and of canvass ing in the autumn. There will also be an attempt in the House of Lords to reverse the decision of the House of Commons with regard to the Boundary Bill. Their lordships are said to be up in their stirrups after their division on the Irish Mural. STATE BALL. By command of the Queen a state ball was given last evening at Buckingham Palace to which a party of upwards of 1,800 was invited. The Prince and Princes of Wales, accompanied by the sombers of the royal family and the other royal visitors, conducted by the Earl of Bradford (Lord Chamberlain), and attended by their ladies and gentlemen in waiting, entered the ball-room at 20 minutes past 10 o'clock, when the dancing immediately commenced. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales wore a white tulle dress over white silk, with a tunic of white satin trimmed with Honiton lace and bouquets of lilies of the Head dress—a tiara of diamonds. Ornaments — pearls and diamonds, with a corsage of diamonds. Orders —Victoria and Albert, Catherine of Russia, and the Danish Order. - _ _ Her Royal Highness the Princess Louis of Hcoso wore a Brussels lace tunic over a blue crape petticoat, trimmed with silver. Head-dress—a diadem of diamonds. Orna ments—diamonds, with a diamond stomacher. Orders— Victoria and Albert, St. Catherine of Russia, the Order of St. Isabel, and the Prussian Order. Her Royal Highness Princess Christian wore a tulle dress over white silk trimmed with bands of rose-coloured satin and Honiton lace. Head-dress—a coronet of dia monds and opals; the back of the head ornamented with rows of diamonds, and Christine geraniums. Pearl neck lace and other ornaments to match.

Heal-dress — roses and diamonds; diamond ornaments. Orders—Vic toria and Albert and order of St. Isabel. Mr. D. Godfrey's Quadrille Band (conducted by Mr. Daniel Godfrey, bandmaster Grenadier Guards) was in attendance, and played a selection of music. A number of distinguished guests hail the honour of receiving invitations to the ball, but some were prevented by unavoidable cause from obeying her Majesty's com mand. ARRIVAL OF SIR R. NAPIER IN LONDON (THIS LAT.) The Commander-in-Chief of the Abyssinian forces arrived in London this morning at 6.30 by the mail train in connection with the London, Chatham, and Dover railway, due at the Victoria terminus at 6.15 a.m. The route Sir Robert Napier would take in proceeding to the metropolis was not even known to the members of his family, and consequently some little confusion ensued ere he reached his destination. It was expected that he would travel from Dover rid the South Eastern line, and accordingly the company had made preparations to meet him on his arrival, and a private carriage, containing Sir Robert's son, was in waiting at the Charing-cross sta tion. A telegram was, however, received by the officials to the effect that Sir Robert had left Dover by the London, Chatham, and Dover line, and on the receipt of the mes sage the carriage was at once driven to the Victoria station. In the meantime the superintendent at the latter terminus received a telegraphic communication — "Sir R. Napier in express train"—and there being no one at the station to receive him, the question arose as to the mode of couveyanoe from Pimlico. However, shortly , after the arrival of the express train, Sir Robert's carriage, containing his son, entered the station, 1 and after a brief but affectionate greeting the vehicle proceeded to Cleveland-square. Sir Robert will, it is ex pected, visit Sir Stafford Northcote in the course of the day, and will probably shortly have an interview with her Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, who arrived in London yesterday to be preeent at the State Ball, returned to Chatham this morning, travelling by the South-Eastern line from Charing Cross. Yesterday afternoon Lady John Manners had a musical party at her residence in Cumberland-terrace. The Duke and Dueling d' Aumale leave Orleans House, Twickenham, to-day to_ the Continent. Yesterday afternoon Lady Holland gave the first of a series of afternoon parties at Holland House, Kensington, on which occasion her ladyship was honoured by the presence of the Prince of Wales, Count and Countess de Paris, Prince of Teck, and a brilliant assem blage of the members of the aristocracy. The Count and Countess de Paris, attended by the Marquis and Mar chimers de Beauvoir and Count de Beauvoir, arrived just before 6 o'clock. A form of prayer and thanksgiving for the pre servation of the life of the Duke of Te.dinbur,3ll and for the success and safety of the Abyssinian expedition, printed in Hebrew and English, has been homed. It is to be used in all the synagogues of the British Empire on Sunday next. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury gave his annual dinner yesterday at Lambeth Palace to the stewards of the recent festival of the Sons of the Clergy. Mr. Ranting has given a further donation of 3001. to the Curates' Augmentation Fund. AERONAUTICAL SOCIRTY.—Last night this scien tific body met at the Society of Arta, in the Adelphi, first under the chairmanship of Mr. Alexander, engineer of the Mont Cenis Railway, and afterwards of Mr leisure, when *protracted discusiuon took place upon the practicability of aerial navigation by means of a flying machine. Mr. Thos. Moy, engineering _d r aughtsman, of Clifford's-inn, whose plan chiefly called forth the criticisms, gave a mathematical description of a machine by which he believes it possible to float through the air at pleasure, and at a speed of 160 miles an hour. The wings of his apparatus he proposes to work by steam, with one of 'Mid's or Jordon s engines. A fourteen-horse single cylinder engine to the ton would be required, and the machine itself would have two and a tail, each exerting a third of the rising and pro • power. He has no con fidence w hatever, he ' in the screw or balloon, and thinks he should be able to attain any altitude, or simply skim the surface of earth or water, just as he liked, and descend at will, for the purpose of taking in fuel, or with any other view - . In a word, he would have the same means as an or an albatross of flying to whatever spot ea t might select, and to sail and steer through the air with the same security and ease as • steam ship gets over the sea. Mr. Waltham approved ? and admitted all the data, but thought the power of flight could be tested by leas expen sive means, and suggested that the society should for the present confine its attention to demonstrating that a man could fly by a single pair ot . tr. Mr. Stringfelkm, one of the exhibitors at the Palace, enthusiastically declared that the world sho uld yet see that he could fly with his own machine, and this opinion seemed to be um vermeil held. Mr. D. J. Brown suggested that a better agent, leas expensive and easier of arriamwould be liquiffed gas obtained from carbonic acid, but this view was controverted by Mr. Amen, and so the various features of the plan continued to be canvassed until the time tor adjournment arrived, which waa sornewhat late.
