Sec pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted Sy the English and cgmbsian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. TR the former of 101. 75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, Would lie the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. 13s 4(1., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., i et. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndiy. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. Brdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year lie can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in cale of necessity, the same as Ira bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to ay to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his' more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused.

CONVOCATION. The two Houses of Convocation for the provinc6 of Canterbury assembled in full session at Westminster yes terday forenoon, at half-past ten o'clock, to which period they had been prorogued from, the 17th of November last, the members of the Upper House, with his Grace the Pre sident Archbishop at their head, sitting in the Bounty Office, and tho members of the Lower House, presided over by the Prolocutor, Dr. Peacock, Dean of Ely, sitting at the Jerusalem Chamber. to answer the petition by telling the Bishop of Cape Town that the Upper House of Convocation declined to decide upon a question involving so many difficulties, and •ho would then be at liberty to seek redress elsewhere. He did not think that the president had power to decide the matter sine consensu frcitrum. The Bishop of WORCESTER moved that the petition do lie on the table, but, after some conversation, the motion fell to the ground. The Bishop of OXFORD announced that after the return of the house from the presentation of the address to her Majesty, he should move a resolution, informing the Bishop of Capo Town that his petition involved se many original and novel questions, that the house would wish him to test his right of summons by an appeal to a court of law before their lordships proceeded to take the matter into further consideration; The Bishop of LONDON said he should not be able to Support the resolution. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from the clergy of the deanery of Powder, in the archdcacom7 of Cornwall, praying for the revival of the active powers of Convocation. The Archbishop then summoned the Prolocutor and certain members of the Lower House, and they proceeded to Buckingham Palace, and presented to her Majesty the address agreed to at the list session of Convocation, and a copy of which appeared in these columns. .On the return of their lordships from Buckingham Palace, his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury read the Royal reply to the address of the Houses of Convocation, and which was in the following terms "I receive with cordial satisfaction the assurances of your loyal and affectionate attachment to my throne and person. "It is my earnest desire to promote the welfartand happiness of all clasSes of mrsabjects, by continuing to them peace abroad, and by assisting to extend at home the holy influence of religion, which; is the only sure founda tion on which national prosperity can permanently rest. I thank you for the sympathy which you have ex p resse d i n and a of God my sorrow for the recent loss of the most distin gu i s h e d o f my subjects; and I appreciate the value which y ou a tt ac h to that high sense of duty by which he was inva r i a bl y i n - I spired. I rely with confidence on the assurance s o f your desire to preserve harmony in the Church, and to my itspinsearearsee mitsaeeyfficuinenimcyp,abiryedlaainntdainlinpgraythat doctrinesat theblessing may attend your endeavours to extend throughout all classes of my people the inestimable benefit of pure and deeply-felt religion." The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented several petitions in favour of allowing curates to vote in the election of proctors. Ordered to lie on the table. The Bishop of OXFORD proceeded to draw the attention of the house to the matter of the Bishop of Cape Town, and concluded by moving the following resolution : " That this house having taken into consideration the prayers of Robert, Lord Bishop of Cape Town, involving qUestions of law, is of opinion that he should establish the lawfulness of his claim to a writ of summons before this house proceeds.to a further consideration of the subjeCt." After some observations from the Bishop of LONDON and the Bishop of CHICHESTER, a long discussion ensued, and it was ultimately agreed "That a resolution should be agreed to without opposition, to the effect that the house did not feel itself competent to entertain the Bishop of Cape Town's prayer." The Bishop of EXETER having brought before the house the case of the licensed curates in his diocese who claimed to vote for the election of proctors, moved that a com mittee be appointed to take the matter into consideration. The Bishop of WINCHESTER moved as an amendment— " That this house does not deem it expedient to enter at this time into the consideration of the prayer of the peti tion, but remits it to the vicar-general for a further report on the question at issue." The Bishop of ROCHESTER protested against the appoint ment of the committee, which he had been told on very good authority would be illegal. The Bishop of LONDON thought there could bo no doubt about the legality of the committee if appointed. After further remarks on the same subject from right reverend prelates, The Bishop of WINCHESTER expressed his intention of pressing his amendment to a division , wh en the re ap peared five for the amendment (the Archbishop of Canter bury, the Bishops of Winchester, Rochester, Peterborough, and Worcester), and six against the amendment (the Bishops of Exeter, London, Llandaff, Chichester, Salisbury, and Oxford). The Bishop of Exeter's resolution was declared carried. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said no committee could be appointed without the sanction of the president, and this was a case in which he should refuse his sanction to the appointment of the committee. It was then suggested that the Archbishop should be re quested to inform the Prolocutor of the adoption of the resolution, in order that a committee of the Lower House should be appointed to act in conjunction with the com mittee of the Upper House, but his grace at once refused to comply. The colonial bishops' petition was then brought before - fre - hong% - and it -was- admitted on -all hands that their prayer could not by granted. It wa*.-intimated, by the- Archbishop that ho would invito the "Colonial:bishops to a conference at Lambeth, or take any other steps that might be deemed necessary for ascertaining their wishes, and removing any impediments that might be in their way. The Bishop of Exeter presented a petition from the Rev. George Madan, the recently appointed incumbent of St. Mary Radcliffe, Bristol, complaining of the present con dition of the marriage laws. It was ordered to lie on the table.. Tho Bishop of OXFORD suggested several modes by which the necessity of k protest against the archbishop's arbitrary prorogation of Convocation sine consensu fratrum, might be avoided. Having been unsuccessful in inducing the Archbishop to deviate from the course he had pursued on former occasions, his lordship handed in the following pro test : " We, the undersigned, pray your grace to cause your reporter to enter upon the records of the Convocation our humble protest and declaration, that whilst we willingly assent to your grace's prorogation of this session of Convo cation, we do not assent to any claim on behalf of the arch bishop to resolve on proroguing this synod sine consensu fratrum (Signd) "H. EXETER. E. SARUM. C. T. CHICHESTER. S. OXON." Mr. F. H. DYKE, tho registrar, then read the schedule, virtue of which a prorogation took placo until Thursday, ,he 18th of August next. Tho Archbishop pronounced the benediction, and the )rocoedings of the Upper House terminated. THE LOWER HOUSE. Tho list of members having been called over, and the minutes of the last session read, and confirmed, the Appa- ritor.General (Mr. F. Knyvett) appeared, and summoned the Prolocutor to the Upper House. On his return, The PROLOCUTOR said that in obedience to the summons of his Grace the President, he had attended the Upper House, and received from his grace the report of the joint committee of the two houses, appointed in the last session to consider the subject of the correction of clerks, and which report he had been instructed to submit to the mem bers of the Lower House. The very rev, gentleman then read the document referred to, which will be found in our account of the proceedings of the Upper House. The report was received with very general applause, and on the motion of the Rev. Dr. SPRY, seconded by the Rev. Dr. RU SSELL, it was ordered by a unanimous vote to be laid upon the table for future consideration. In reply to Archdeacon DENISON, The PROLOCUTOR said it was highly desirable that the report should be printed and circulated amongst the mem bers of Convocation ; but unfortunately the difficulty at present experienced was the want of the means necessary for defraying the charges. Archdeacon PadyElNisco"n—Surely every member of Convo caantdi,onin would g urance that they would d o so, he b egged to The Dean of BRISTOL doubted if this house c ou ld d ea l the copy of the report which had boon s en t d own t o e th b at ers the . report be printed and c i rcu l ated amongst by the Archbishop as if they had full authority move with ah m e m ' over it. ____ ..... . Dr. SPRY—The Upper House were anxious that the re port should be well considered by the members of this house, and it certainly could not be considered unless printed and circulated amongst the members. Ultimately, on the'suggestion of Chancellor MARTIN—It was agreed that a request should be made to the Upper House that the report be printed and circulated for the use of the members of Convocation. The PROLOCUTOR then informed the house of the steps taken since the last meeting with respect to the committee appointed for considering certain gravamina that were then presented to Convocation. It would be in their recollection Place between but before that he was at that time requested, at the earliest practi cable opportunity after the answer of his Grace the President t:orms of the appointment of to the application to be made to him had been received, and in case that answer should be favourable to the application so to be made to him, to adopt measures for assembling the members of the committee. He would, therefore, read t h o ini th ee er f i a t n h d e c t o h r:e a s r p o o h n b d ie e h n o c p e w u hi po c n h bad taken • d re o e i o n l g ut s i o o , n he ad w o o p ul te d d firs by t thi re that committee. The resolution, moved by Archdeacon f Harrison, and seconded by Dr. Spry, was in these words this i h n o d u house e f m o r t e l e the a p -" The Lower House of Convocation begs leave respect fully to state to your grace and your right rev, brethren, that an important representation on matters at present affecting the welfare of the Church has, in conformity with former precedents, been introduced into this house, and been referred to a committee, and this house humbly pray your grace and your rig ht rev. brethren so t o order the prorogations and continuation of the session of this present Convocation as to allow this house to receive and consider in due time the report of such committee!' After the members of the committee had been nominated, a ques tion arose as to its right to sit by tho sole authority of this house, the opinion of some of the members of tho commit tee being, that it could, not sit without the sanction of the Archbishop. He (th e Prolocutor) then delivered the lution to his grace, who said ho would take time to consi der it, and return an answer, but, up to the close of the last sitting of Convocation, no answer had been returned. Under these circumstances, he felt it to be hi s duty to ad ' dress the following letter to his grace " Nov. 23, 1852. ti My Lord Archbish o p ,— l was requested by the Lower House of Convocation to take measures for assembling the members of the committee appointed by them, as soon as I had received an intimation of your grace's concurrence ' in the resolution which I had the honour to place in your gra ce's hands. I trust, therefore, that your grace will par ; - don me if I venture to ask, in conformity with the duty thus imposed upon me, whether your grace will object to my summoning the committee.—l am, &c., On the 28th of November he received the following noto from the Archhishop "Nov. 27. "Dear Mr. Dean,—No answer was returned to the reso lution of the Lower House, concerning the appointment of the committee, because the novelty of the case made it necessary to take counsel upon the subject, for which there was no sufficient time before the prorogation. lam not now competent to give my consent to the summoning of the committee, as proposed in your letter, because I am unable to . do any presidential act during the recess of the Convocation. " I remain, &e." Copies of this correspondence he (the Prolocutor) had for warded to the several membei.s of the committee ; and, of course, it was not competent for him to take any further steps upon the subject until ho had the honour of again meeting Convocation. From the statements which were made when the matter was discussed there, he found that considerable misapprension existed with respect to the law and practice of Convocation. There seemed to be a pretty general •impression that the law and practice of Convoca tion were similar to that of the House of Parliament. With them it was not-the practice for committees to meet, and transact business during the recess,—and it was con cluded, and not unnaturally concluded, that the same law which governed the practice of Parliament governed the practice of Convocation. In one sense the law was the same ; but it was accompanied by circumstances which make a fundamental distinction between them. A session of Parliament lasted from its first assembling until it was prorogued by the Queen, and their meetings in the inter val were continued by adjournments. But in Convocation, properly speaking, there was no such thing as an " ad journmeiat Every meeting of Convocation was s distinct and complete " session" of itself ; and it would be found, upon reference to the records of the acts of Convocation, that every meeting was thus recorded as a distinct session, and in passing from one session to another there was always the same formal act of " prorogation." That appeared to be tho practice from the earliest times ; and so_completely was the principle adhered to that on referring to the re cords it would be seen that in many cases where a sitting took place in the morning and another in the afternoon of the same day, the two sittings were counted as two distinct "sessions." The appointment of Committees had been an every-day practice of Convocation. Sometimes the Lower House had appointed committees by the order of the Upper House. At other times committees had been ap pointed by the Lower House itself, simply for the prepa ration of their own business, having no power of enact ment, but merely that of preparing the business to be brought under the notice of the house in such a form as i might be most convenient for the house to consider and determine upon. Then, if their representations were ap proved of, and it was considered necessary by the house that such representations, or the reports or conclusions founded upon them, were proper to be submitted to the consideration of the Upper. House, they became the articuli deri to be presented to that house. The difficulty which had been started was, that during the recess of Con vocatien no business could be transacted ; but the uniform practice was the reverse. The Upper House had so timed the prorogations as to give the committee of the Lower House the opportunity of meeting for the transaction of business ; and that very day they had an example of the sort in the report of the joint committee which had been sent down to them by the Archbishop, the committee which made that report, having, in fact, assembled and prepared it in . the recess; and unless their committees could so meet, he believed no business would ever be done by Convoca tion. Ho would only add that the matter now rested in their own hands, and that ho had received no further com munication from the Archbishop than that which he had read. The Dean of BRISTOL—It was quite true that where there was business before Convocation, time had been given, and never refused, to the Lower House, to meet in committee and prepare that business. But here the Pro locutor's statement 'required some explanation. The Pro locutor said " business," so he (the Dean of Bristol) said " business." But what " business ?" Why, no other "business" was formally recognised as before Convocation than such as the Crown put before them. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) When the Crown had placed business before Convocation, he granted that the Lower House ought to have time to consider it; but where there was none, he did not think they had the power of sitting on whatever ques tion they might choose to introduce. . _ _ Dr. SPRY - contended that there was an undoubted right in this house to present gravamina to the Upper House, and that their right was equally undoubted to appoint a committee to prepare such gravamina if they thought fit. Having, therefore, appointed a committee to consider cer tain gravamina, his own opinion was that that committee ought to meet whenever it was most convenient to them during the recess, in order to prepare their report, and afterwards to present that report to the Lower House on the reassembling of Convocation. The PROLOCUTOR granted that there was a material dis tinction between business sent before them from the Upper House and business which originated with themselves. But business, such as gravamina et reformand4, originat ing in this house, required consideration by a committee before it could be submitted to the Upper House, not by virtue of any authority in the Lower House, but simply as a statement emanating, from them in the shape of recom mendations for the consideration of the Upper House. At this stage of the discussion a messenger appeared, and summoned th Prolocutor to the Upper House. On his return, the Very Rev. Gentleman stated that his Grace the President had prorogued the Convocation until the .afternoon, to enable them to proceed, to Buckingham Pal4ce with the address to her Majesty adopted_ at. their last sitting, - in November. _ _ About two o'clock the house resumed, and tho Prolocu tor read the reply of her - Majesty to the address, which will bo found in our report of the proceedings of the Upper House, and was then ordered to bo entered on the minutes. Archdeacon THORPE presented a paper of gravamina re lating to the necessity under which clergymen found them selves placed by the existing law of performing the mar riage ceremony between parties who repudiated the faith of the Church, and lived in open and undisguiged sin. He himself had known cases where persons had come with a degree of wantonness to bo married in the church ; and in one instance, whore a, party was asked what induced him to require the blessing of the Church on his marriage, the reply was, " Oh ! a mere whim." The Dean of BRISTOL contended that the Prolocutor had no intrinsic authority of his own to present a schedule of gravamina to the Upper House, being nothing more than the representative of the Lower House. The Prolocutor could only go to the Upper House when he was sent by this, or when he was summoned by the other house ; a n d could not leave his seat without their leave. It would be a most dangerous precedent, therefore, if they allowed any individual member to place a paper of gravamina in the hands of the Prolocutor and call upon him to pre sent it to the Upper House. No paper was given into the hands of the Prolocutor except to be laid upon the table, to be afterwards considered by this house. To bring the matter to an issue he would move that the paper of Archdeacon Thorpe be referred to the committee of gra vamina. Canon WORDSWORTII—The Prolocutor was not their officer, but the officer of his Grace tho President, and he apprehended it was not an act of presumption on the part of any member to request the Prolocutor to take his schedule of grievances to the Upper House, to be dealt with as they might think proper. That was an inherent right of every individual proctor there. At the same time he agreed with the Dean of Bristol that, provided they had actually existing, in the discharge of its duties, a commit tee of gravamina, such schedules ought to be submitted to' it in the first instance. Archdeacon THORPE himself then seconded the Dean of Bristol's motion, which, after some further discussion, was adopted. . _ . Canon WORDSWORTH said it was of importance that they should not separate without knowing what course they were to pursue with regard to the committee of gra vamina. In considering the various papers brought before them, it was necessary that they should clearly ascertain what ground they were standing upon, and whether or not they were to be summoned to deliberate upon those papers which had been refused by this house to that committee. He was satisfied that committees of that house, being pro perly appointed, might sit during the recess, and present the result of their deliberations to this house, to be after wards communicated by it, through the President, to the other house. In the present instance a committee had been appointed, and his grace's sanction and concurrence had been asked to tho proceeding, but in doing this ho thought they had taken a false step, which it was their duty now to retrace. He contended they had a full, ancient, and prescribed right vesting in primitive practice to appoint those committees, and that it was an unnecessary and informal act to communicate with the Upper House upon the subject. TMs, however, they had done ; and to meet the difficulty ho would suggest whether they might not request the Prolocutor to intimate to his Grace the President, that this Lower House appointed at its session on the 17th of Nov. last a committee - of gravamina et re. formanda t and apprised his grace and the Upper House of such appointment, but that on subsequently making inquiry into former precedents, ithey found that this last step was un necessary and informal, and they begged leave, therefore, to withdraw the application and to intimate their purpose to proceed in the regular manner, according to ancient practice, and that the committee so appointed would pro ceed to consider the business submitted to it without re quiring his grace's concurrence. Archdeacon GRANT supported this proposition. Archdeacon DENISON said no one was more anxious than himself that the committee should proceed to action ; but the house should bear in mind that the paper referred to the committee included almost every subject that could be brought under the notice of Convocation, and he believed there was no precedent to be found in the history of Par liament or of Convocation, of the existence of a committee of the kind. Let them, therefore, consider well before they sanctioned the continued action of that committee. The paper of gravamina had been referred to the commit tee when they did not know exactly what they were doing —(a laugh)—and he thought it better that the paper should remain as it had been put forth to the Church of England and the world at large—as a statement of the reasons for which certain persons thought it desirable that Convoca tion should be allowed to meet, and that they should now proceed to consider great practical questions, one by one, in detail. It was with that view that he himself had given notice of certain resolutions which he desired to bring un der their notice that day. His belief was, that the com mittee of gravamina would be found an absolute unreality; that it could not work, and that if its members did assem ble together, they would never report. Consequently, no bUsiness whatever would be brought before the house, be cause it would always be said, when a subject was intro duced for their consideration— " Oh, we cannot deal with that • it is one of tho questions which have be en referred to the committee." (Hear, hear.) Archdeacon GRANT considered the proposal of Canon Wordsworth to be worthy of support on the ground of its practical character ; for the question no w was, how they best extricate themselves from the f alse position in which they had, unfortunately, placed themselves, the Prolocutor, and above all his Grace the Archbishop. His friend Archdeacon Denison advised them to let things re main as they were ; in short, that they should go before the world with this blot upon them, that having acted hastily, and found themselves in a difficulty, they never- Itook no measures with the view of retracing their OWN. FcT himself he thought that would be an improper THE UPPER HOUSE. In tho Upper House there were present the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops of London, Winchester, Oxford, Exeter, Salisbury, Llandaff, Worcester, Chiches ter, and Peterborough. After some preliminaries, The Bishop of London stated that at the last meeting of Convocation a commitce was appointed to consider a ques tion relative to a measure for the better correction of clerks. The committee had drawn up a report, which was to the following effect : • • • - " The committee appointed by Convocation to consider of an address to her Majesty, as to a measure for the better enforcing of discipline among the clergy, report— " That they have had various meetings, and, in obe dience to the commands of the house, have taken into their serious consideration the matter referred to them. " That .they are unanimously of opinion that the pre sent state of the law touching the discipline of the clergy is unsatisfactory, and that it needs amendment. " That the great expenses and delays attending such proceedings, which amount frequently to a denial of jus tice, have not been removed by the recent acts ttpon this subject. . " That the provisions of the last act, which govern the *sent administration of-the law, are inadequate for their purpose. " That the preliminary inquiry under the act savours too much of an actual trial, without its safeguards or con clusion, whilst it has been doubted whether those provi sions which were intended to govern the actual trial could safely be used for its conduct. " That the 'present provision for hearing and deciding final appeals is not such as to give general satisfaction. " That it is highly important that those evils should be corrected. " That, in the judgment of the committee, it is desirable that all causes against clerks, involving questions of heresy or false doctrine, blasphemy or schism, should be heard as they, might have been before the passing of the act 2d and 3d William IV., c. 92, saving as regards the compo si t io n of the court of nal appeal. " That the Court of Arches should be empowered to re ceive viva voce evidence, and to hear and examine wit- nesses. " That provision should be made for the bishop to hear certain cases in private, if he shall think fit, and the ac cused party shall consent, and to pronounce sentence thereon. "That the machinery for conducting the preliminary in quiry by commission should be made less cumbious. " That provision should be made for the trial of clergy men before the bishop, or his official or commissary, as sisted by a council of not less than four members, who shall decide all questions of fact ; the said persons not to be named by the bishop himself, but taken by lot, or other wise as shall seem most expedient, either from the canons residentiary, non-residentiary, and honorary, and the rural deans of the diocese, or from a• panel of beneficed clergymen elected in every archdeaconry for this purpose. "That the greatest difficulty besets the due adjustment of the course of final appeals. " That. it appears to your committee of the greatest mo ment, whilst we maintain the just supremacy of the Crown, as the ultimate source of justice and redress to every subject complaining of wrong, whether in matters ecclesiastical or 'civil, to combine therewith security, that ecclesiastical questions shall be decided by persons quali fied by office and acquaintance with law ecclesiastical to decide thereon. " That it appears to your committee that the acknow ledged difficulties which attach to this subject have been much increased by recent legislation, which almost acci dentally transferred the hearing of those causes from the Queen in Chancery to the Queen in Council. " They would suggest the expediency of considering whether the best solution of this question would not be to restore this jurisdiction to the Queen in Chancery, and to enable her Majesty, when any appeal shall be presented from the court of the province in matters ecclesiastical, in which any clerk in holy orders shall be a party, ex cept in causes matrimonial or testamentary, to remit the cause for ye-hearing in the court of the archbishop, providing that there shall sit, under the authority of the Great Seal, with the judge of that court, other ecclesi astical and common-law judges to hear and decide finally in the cause. " Finally your committee report that they have felt it their duty to lay these conclusions before the Convocation as what would form the fitting heads of an address to her Majesty, should one now be resolved upon by the Convoca tion ; but they beg further to report their own conviction that no such address should be adopted without a full and patient examination of the whole subject : and they would therefore respectfullyj suggest' to' the Convocation their opinion that their report should be laid upon the table as .4natterfor future consideration rather than for immediate, action. - C.-.1.,:-LaNnozir, Chmiaainam...- "Feb. 11, 1853." Tho Archbishop of CANTERBURY ordered. the Lower House to be summoned to receive this report. The Prolocutor attended accordingly accompanied by the Dean of Norwich, the Archdeacon of Maidstone, the Arch deacon of Winchester, Dr. Spry, and Canon Wordsworth, and the report having been presented to the prolocutor, the deputation retired. A petition was then road from the Bishops of New foundland, Quebec, Antigua, and Cape Town, praying the Archbishop to appoint a committee of the Upper House (saving their own rights) to consult with them touching the interests of the colonial branch of the English Church. A memorial was also presented from the Bishops of Quebec, Antigua, and Newfoundland, praying to have their right allowed to sit in the Upper House of Convocation. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that at the last meeting of Convocation, a petition had been read from the Bishop of Cape Town, which he had referred to his vicar general, who would now give his opinion upon the subject. Dr. TRAVERS Twiss, having first read the petition of the Bishop of Cape Town, presented at the last session by the Bishop of Oxford, then read a lengthened opinion against the right of the colonial bishops to sit, concluding with the following sentence : "Upon the most careful consideration which I have been able to bestow upon the facts above submitted to your grace's attention, I beg leave to report to your grace that the see and diocese of Cape Town are not within and of the province of Canterbury, so as to found any autho rity in your grace to direct the Lord Bishop of Cape Town to be cited to appear at the Convocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Canterbury now assembled, pursuant to her Majesty's writ ; and that, as the exercise of your grace's authority as primate and metropolitan, in assembling the said C o nvocation, is strictly controlled by statute of the realm, your grace may not lawfully accede to the prayer of the petition o f the said Lord Bishop of Cape Town, 'that you will be pleased to direct a proper citation to be forthwith issued to him, or that he may be allowed without such citation to take his rightful place as a suffragan bishop in the present Convocation." Tho Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that in conse quence of this opinion, he decided against the right of the Bishop of Cape Town to sit. The Bishop of SALISBURY begged to ask the most rev. president in what manner the learned and elaborate report of the vicar-general came before that house. He under stood that the manner in which the matter stood before them, was that the petition had been addressed not per sonally to his grace, but to the Upper House of Convoca tion, which body he considered was to judge entirely whe ther the Bishop of Cape Town's claim was well founded. The Bishop of LONDON said an opinion had been given that the Bishop of Cape Town was not entitled to sit. It rested with the Archbishop to carry out the Queen's man date, and if that duty was neglected the Bishop of Cape Town had his remedy elsewhere. The Bishop of OXFORD thought the law of the case was entirely different, and that it rested entirely with the Upper House to discuss and decide upon the matter. If it rested entirely with the Archbishop, any suffragan might be excluded by his citation being withheld, and he would be unable to obtain his rights without having re course to most annoying litigation. The Bishop of WINCHESTER thought the Bishop of Cape Town had app ealed to Convocation too early. He ought to hav heoeu gone ga another He ought to his case appli coed ul to d have to have the Court of Q ueen's Bench for a mandamus to show why he had not been cited. ie first nto settled. The Bishop of OXFORD said an application to that effect had been made to the Court of Queen's Bench, who re fused to entertain it, upon the ground that the Bishop of and that he had not done all he could to obtain his just Cape Town had not be en refused his seat in Convocation, rights. The bishop had, therefore, no other course but to persist in his appeal to the Upper House, which was the judge of its own privileges. The ARCHBISHOP had always understood that it was a case which belonged to the president, and that it was one on which ho was called upon to give an official opinion. He had referred the matter to the Vicar-General, and ho held that the opinion which he had given was binding, having been officially given by the president. Tho Bishop of SALISBURY inquired whether the Arch bishop considered that a judicial sentence. Tho ARCHBISHOP replied that incidentally it might be so considered. Tho Bishop of EXETER remarked that in a matter so new their ntootadbj w ue adg granted, u T t that the ?h buteßishoptbeArchbishop c petition o f os c iadpe Cape considered was T to o t w h tu a h, t ee hetr prayerphp l r ' H a right shouldo i u g s l t , it was not surprising that they should not very clearly see and it seemed but reasonable that the Upper House should have the power of deciding upon it. If the Archbishop's claim to decide judicially upon the subject were well founded, the Bishop of Cape Town must seek redress by an appeal to the Queen in Cou nc il ; an d no t b y a mandamus from the Court of Queen's Bench ; or ho might proceed in the Court of Queen's Bench against the dean of the pro 'Vince (the Bishop of London) for not having cited him. Ho was disposed to think that the wisest' course to pursue was 0 , 0 r ✓_ [PRICE SD. ) course of proceeding, and that they should take the de corous modo of action suggested by Dr. Wordsworth. Archdeacon DENISON said his proposition was merely to appoint a committee to draw up a representation to be pre sented to the other house, inviting it to concur in the ap pointment of a joint committee. Chancellor MARTIN, considering that they had applied to his Grace the Primate, and that his grace had answered that he was about to " take counsel upon the subject," he thought it would be premature and hardly courteous to step forward in tho interim, before they know what that counsel was, in the manner pointed out by Dr. Words worth. He would move as an amendment, therefore, that the application to his Grace the Primate be respectfully rereated. The Rev. HATwARD Cox seconded the amendment of Chancellor Martin, on the ground that many members of Convocation who voted for the appointment of the com mittee had done so upon the express understanding that the committee would not be allowed to sit without the previous consent of the Archbishop. The Rev. Mr. RANDOLPH agreed with Mr. Denison's view of the case, but it had nothing to do with Dr. Words worth motion ; and ho thought they should now consider if they had not taken a false stop, and whether they could not retrace it. Archdeacon HARRISON-If they had already put the pre sident in a false position, he conceived it would be doubliN the offence to pr;ss his grace' for an answer. It appeared to him that their best course was to take no step in the matter until they had received an answer ; but if none came, then they might consider that his grace felt that he could not express an opinion, and that he left them to take their own course. Dr. RussELL--If the Archbishop had stated thathe would " take counsel," of course he would send them an answer. To anticipate that answer ought to be no part of the duty -of Convocation. The Dean of BRISTOL opposed the motion of Canon Wordsworth. The PRoLocuTOß—Unquestionably it was true that, by he proceedings which had taken place, they had in some respects compromised the rights of this house, in& also compromised the archbishop himself, by placing him in a false position ; still he was of opinion that it would not be desirable to proceed with the meetings of the committee. It was of the utmost importance that they should stand well with the Archbishop and the other house, and that they should take no steps which would appear in the slightest degree to be wanting in the most entire respect to his grace and the Upper House. It would not be expedient, therefore, to urge the assembling of the committee without the sanction of his grace. He thought, however, that, for the purpose of repairing the mischief, there could be no ob jection to a declaration on the part of this house of their opinion with respect to the law on this particular question; and whilst they were prepared, if necessary, to abandon the committee appointed in November, and not to require it to meet, that there was no reason why they should not appoint another Committee to consider the subject, and which committee might assemble and deliberate without applying to the Archbishop and the Upper House. Dr. WCAuL—Many gentlemen present were of opinion that it would be better to wait for the answer of the Pri mate, especially as they did not repent what they had done, or conceive they had taken a false step. They accepted membership on the committee conditionally. One gentle man said that, as a good subject, and also as a true son of the Church, he would require to know whether sitting on the committee was a legal act—if they could do it without the consent of the Crown or the sanction of the Archbishop. Now he (Dr. M'Cattl) felt that, were the Archbishop to ex press an opinion to the contrary, he for one could not act on that or any other committee they might choose to ap point. Many gentlemen remained with their opinions un changed as to the inexpediency of Convocation acting at all; and therefore to hurry on anything of the kind would be most unwise. They adhered to the original terms upon which they accepted membership on the committee, and they thought that even on the part of those who desired to see Convocation in full operation, it would be unwise to commence their proceedings be coming into collision with the Primate. On every ground, then, it would be better to wait ; and he concurred in the suggestion that both re solution and amendment should be withdrawn. Archdeacon SI/imam, as a member of the committee of gravamina, said when that committee was appointed, he felt extreme repugnance to entering on the many and deli cate questions which were included in the schedule of grava inina referred to it ; another repugnance had been greatly increased by a further examination of the schedule, and by inquiry and reflection on the subject. He still considered himself bound, if the Archbishop gave his concurrence to the meetings of the committee, to serve upon it ; but in case his grace saw fit to withhold his sanction and concur rence, he must consider himself relieved from the obliga tion. (Hear.) . _ _ The Rev. Mr. SEYMOUR acquiesced in tho suggestion of she Prolocutor, that a committee should be appointed to consider the laW affecting the appointment of Committees of the Lower House. Dr. WORDSWORTH—But even to the appointment of such a committee as that, they must, to be consistent, ask the sanction of the Archbishop. Chancellor MARTIN then moved an amendment to the effect, that a committee be appointed to search for prece dents on the subject of the sittings of committees of this house, without previous references to his Grace the Presi dent and the Upper House of Convocation. Dr. SPRY said it would be a most extraordinary proceed ing to appoint a committee to inquire whether they had a right to appoint a committee. (Hear, hear.) Chancellor MARTIN—Then he would suggest that the Prolocutor be requested, with the assistance of any mem bers of the house he might choose, during the approaching recess, to search for precedents on the subject of the sit tings id-committees. Archdo - gc - Oif HATA{ would be sorry to see any decision como to at the present meeting as to whether khe commit tee of gravamina should or should not meet in the in terval of their sessions. If it were the fact that, so long as Convocation existed, whether it were sitting iu formal session or not, from month to month or from year to year, there was a power in its committees to sit and deliberate and prepare matters against the period their formal session came round, he owned it would be a very formidable truth ; and the strongest argument in confirmation of the Prolocutor's opinion, that the committee of grava mina might sit in the interval of their sessions, was that the joint committee of both houses had sat in the last re cess, and he must say he could not see any difference as to the powers of a committee of this house—whether it was a joint committee or a committee of each house separately. If one had power to sit between sessions, surely the other had equal power to do so. This being conceded, he would leave things exactly where they were, and do nothing fur ther to entangle the question. Ho concurred in the pro position that a committee should be appointed to ascertain whether a committee of gravamina, as well as other com mittees, had the power of meeting in the interval of the sessions of Convocation. . _ The Rev. Mr. BROWN then proceeded to address the house; but was cut short in tho midst of his speech by the entrance of the Apparitor-general, who summoned the Pro locutor to the Upper House. On his return, The PROLOCUTOR said, ho had been to the Upper House and received the orders of the Archbishop immediately to prorogue the Convocation until the 18th of August next. Under other circumstances, perhaps, it would have been competent in him (the Prolocutor) to allow the sitting to continue until the business before the house was concluded, but the intimation received from his grace being that the prorogation was to be " immediate," he felt it to be his duty at once to declare that they stood prorogued to the 18th of August next. The Assembly then broke up. LETTERS FOR PORT PHILIP.—The Post-office autho rities advertised Yesterday that ship letter-bags will be made up on the 26th instant for Port Philip, to be des patched by the screw steamer Hellespont. A MODEL COCK FIGHT.—Mr. Leonard, an engineer on one of the Lake steamers, was a whole team for a cock fight. He kept a well-trained rooster, and fought him in every port between Buffalo and Chicago. Hear ing of a crack bird of the pit at Windsor, over went John, with a half dozen friends, to see and rejoice with him over the anticipated sudden demise of John Crapau's celebrated game stock ; the birds were let loose, and at the first blow of the little Frenchman's bantam, John's bird was numbered with the things that had been—he was dead. Greatly mortified and astonished was John ; he left the field crest fallen, amid the laughter of his compeers. " Egad," said the engineer, " I'll try him again." On his first trip to Buffalo, John bought a full-grown eagle, cut his feathers into shape, twisted up his tail rooster fashion, fastened a cock's comb on his crown, and otherwise meta morphosed him into a game-cock ; brought him up to the city, again rallied his friends, put his bird into a bag, and over he went for another fight. Parlez vouz brought out his bird again, certain of success, and placed him ready for action. The engineer took his out of the bag—they slowly approached each other—the bantam stooping and picking, as he advanced to the assault, while the engineer's walked boldly on, with his head erect, beak open, and an eye of fire that never blanched in the mid-day sun ; the bird of Jove seized the gallant bantam, and, with beak and claws, tore him to pieces, and eat him up, to the utter astonishment of the crowd. The little Frenchman danced all sorts of figures, and cried out—"So,cre vent - re bleu, me nevaire see one roostaire like dat ; he eat him up mon bon chicken. Vat one crooked nose your sacre dam Yankee roostaire's got ; I fight no more wid de Yankee ' roostaire." Ever since that, John has considered the Santa Anna of the cock-pit in the West.—Peabody'B Chronicle. MEMOIRS OF THE COURT AND CABINETS OF GEORGE THE THIRD.—From Original Family Documents.

The number of officers seen on one day will, as usual, be limited to 30. Lieutenant West, commanding her Majesty's steam• sloop Pluto, on the coast of Africa station, has been invalided ; and Lieut. Norman Bedingfield, lately in command of the Jackal, tender to ber Majesty's steam frigate Penelope, has been appointed to the vacant command. The death of retired Commander George Fox (1847) has been reported. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 16. The Barracouta, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander G. Parker, left Spithea.d yesterday morning, after dis charging the seamen and marines belonging to this port paid off from the Castor, with others for the Plymouth station from the same ship. The Banshee steam-packet, Lieutenant J. Hosken, commanding, hauled out of dock to the steain baSin, to complete her refit, yesterday morning. The Medea, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Bailey, only awaits the embarcation of Mr. Backhouse, the Judge of the Mixed Commission for the Havannah, to leave Spit head for that destination. The Rhadamanthus, 4, steam-transport, Mr. Belam, master commanding, arrived in this harbour yesterday from Plymouth, to discharge supernumeraries and stores; afterwards she proceeds to Deptford. .The freight-ships Joseph Somes and Fatima arrived at Spithead to-day from the Thames, and will come into harbour to embark from the dockyard the 48th Regiment for Corfu. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., has received her boilers, four in number, each weighing 25 tons.

Seamin riggers employed on board the Brisk have got up lower yards, topmasts, and topgallantmasts, and commenced rattling the topmast rigging. Extra hands were sent on board the Algiers on Mon. day, to get her ready for launching by May. At 10.30 on Monday night two steam-vessels-of-war were observed going down Channel, inside the Eddy stone, under full steam and all canvas ; the headmost bark-rigged, all black ; the other, a mile astern, ship• rigged. The Falmouth and Goodwill lighters, which sailed from this port for the eastward, have been obliged to put back, in consequence of the strong easterly wind. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw line-of-battle ship, will be launched on the 21st March next.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday. ) MANCHESTER, FEB. 15.—The receipts of cotton at the American ports were 125,000 bales in the last week, against 85,000 in the corresponding week of 185`h ; and the total receipts 1,820,000 bales, against 1,349,000. The excess in the week's receipts are 40,000 bales, and the total excess 471,000 bales, which will receive a further addition next week. The fact of the excess, which had declined, leing again considerably on the increase, appears to have caused a giving way of 4c. per lb. in the speculative market of New York, and to have rendered the southern markets dull, with a bias in prices against the sellers ; but the arrival of the Africa with rather more favourable accounts to the 16th January led to some increase of business, and also of firmness, to the 29th January, at New Orleans, where the freight to Liverpool was #d. an d the exchange on London B a .- The price for middling, telegraphed from New Orleans on 29th, %Ras 9ke. ;sad a postscript to a letter from 'New York, which we' have seen, says :—"I have just received a dispatch, by tele graph, from a reliable friend in these words :—' Mobile, January, 31.—Middling, 94; large sales, prices tending up.' On the 29th that market had been telegraphed as " heavy, with middling at 81c." This alleged rise of must have been occasioned by the Africa's advice& We have, ourselves, again seen private letters speaking in the strongest terms of the means which had been re sorted to in order to keep cotton back, and cocker up prices ; repeating also their previous statements, and with increased confidence, that the supply would be at least three million and a quarter bales. The quantity now upon the Atlantic is very large—not less than 250,000 bales, we are assured by a gentleman who pays a close attention to these imports. ROCHDALE, FEB. 14.—We have had a rather still market, and little or no change in prices. Wool con tinues much the same as it was on the previous Monday, both in price and demand. Hitherto the London sales have fetched considerably better prices, as compared with the last wool sale. MACCLESFIELD, FEB. Is.—Our manufacturers con tinue actively engaged for the spring trade. Many houses are working to orders, and the stocks of goods on hand are quite insignificant. The weavers, for the season, have fuller employment than has been known for several years past. 'The silk dyers are also busy, which is a good indication that preparation is general. Thrown silks are considerably more in demand for the home trade ; the expoit orders are also a little more free, which causes a great scarcity of the finer and medium qualities of trams and organzines. Raw Silks : The market is quiet, the public sales announced to be held in London on the 23d instant causing a paucity of op ,erations pending their result. The overland nail, _ st to hand from China, reports no further shipmOnts, but purchases had been made to the extent of 1,500 bales, in some instances at an advance upon previous rates. HUDDERSFIELD, FEB. 15.—Fully as much business has been done to-day as last week, chiefly in the same class of goods, mostly of low qualities. The cloth hall presents quite a deserted appearance from the want of stocks, most of the manufacturers working to order, who deliver their goods direct to the warehouses, without passing through the hall ; many of the manufacturers not even attending the hall, being at present so fully employed. Checks of small patterns, chiefly in browns, are being brought into the market, and are beginning to have a run. Business in the warehouses is very brisk, merchants being able to complete orders on hand only with time. HALIFAX, FRB. 12.—Very few worsted goods of any kind have changed hands in our piece hall to-day ; and there is, we believe, but a limited amount of business doing in the warehouses. Yarns and wools both remain firm ; but the markets are far from active. BIRMINGHAM, FEB. 14.—The rapid attainment of high figures, established at the last preliminary meeting of the iron trade, after so lengthened a period of severe de pression, appeared to leave little roo m f or anticipating any further advance. No want of demand has yet been experienced, and prices are maintained with the greatest firmness ; but whether they have been pushed a little too far, or whether still enhanced rates will have to be given, is a question yet to be determined. No intima tion of any retrogressive movement is apparent, while every reason that urged to the adoption of the present position continues even in increased force. Wages are high, materials are dear, labour is exceedingly scarce, the demand continues good, markets are active both at home and abroad, and iron is everywhere in re quest, with a probability of increased facilities for distributing it among our neighbours. In the. meantime, the little lots that might have been in the hands of 'speculators are nearly used up, and every available resource of old stocks, scraps, and broken metal has been largely drawn upon. Contracts in hand are said to be sufficient at the larger works to engage them them most of the ensuing quarter, and others ar fiy employed, so that it is with difficulty that sma l lorders can be placed, particularly for plates and shee ts. ivefor m these and for rails the inquiry is most ac tive " the hands of the latter several orders are said to . b h e are detained of the merchants for export, in procuring conveyance to their de demand a very heavy esdoiffitheualtiyt Under these consider . fr is om evi c d o e m a in t g h i a n t to in th a e m sh a o r r k t et tlm on e acco s w t i i i h t :n e a t t 4th s, h that no reduc but that the present rates tion of price will be neede d, d in both for manufactured will be cheerfully acquiesce must again unavoidably set in. consider ations confidence is daily gaining and pig iron. strength ELECTIONEERING I N FLUENCE. — Amon gst the cases o f election corruption by i nt i m i dation , it i s said that Par liament will be speedily applied to against on e o f th e Scotch Procur ators Fisc a l.
