Convocation standing prorogued to Thursday last, the lith, and the parliamentary session having been unex pectedly prolonged o►-er that day, there was a meeting of the members in the Jerusalem Chamber, and •h anxiety evinced to proceed to synodical business By some contretemps, however, the hour of asse►nbling seems to have been misunderstood. The Lower House mustered in considerable force at two o'clock, but were kept waiting until past three before the arrival of the Archbishop of ('a►►terbury gave its formal constitution to the assembly. A remonstrance was offered to his gra. touching this apparent failure in courtesy and deference to the Lower House, to which he replied with atu apology, and the re gister at once read the schedule of further prorogation, and thus terminated the session. The assembly now stand adjourned to September 10, but will, it is understood, b.• pmrogued by the Queen's will before that date. The Rev.
