CON VOCATION.

(From Ilia Dal sew.)

THE truth about the story of the revival of Conya
cation is understood to be this—that, though bird
DEILBY and his colleagues have not as yet dared to
actually advise their Sovereign to issue the ltoyel
license required by the Act of Submission for Convo-
cations to proceed to what is popularly called business
the High Church and Tractarian party are under the
strong belief and persuasion that their recent comma.
ideation with the more influential members of the
Cabinet have nearly brought the government to that
determination. And it is further believed that any
general encouragement given by the public to the
scheme will induce ministers to make at least the
attempt, by giving her ISIAJF:STY that advice.
Whether, if the advice were so given, it would be
followed is, however, another question. That it
would be most distasteful is pretty notorious; and
the better mascot' the Court might desire to have some
expression ofparliamentary opinion before astounding
the country by the exercise of a prereipitive which
has long ken considered obsolete. And as part of
the theory of the Tractarian has been to make a
distinction between the Sovereign as head of the
Church and as chief of the State, they way, it is quite
possible, on this occasion, find that distinction ener.
seed in a way more agreeable to the rest of the
Quessi's subjects than to themselves. la such a
matter there arc, the public may rest assured, other
personages than Prime Ministers to gain over.
This much, however, is now apparent on the very
surface of things, that from the first formation
of the present Administration there has been
a secret understanding between some of the
leaders of the Tractariau party and several members
of tho Cabinet. Scarcely had it been settled in
power, when Mr. O. A. DEsisoN was to be seen in
intercourse with it; and the result of his intercourse
were those serious alterations in the Managememmt
Clauses of the trust deeds of the Church of lingl Ind
Schools receiving grants from the Privy Council,
that Lord JOHN letsew. brought before the House
of Commone—et measure which Mr. DENISON, how-
ever, openly declared he only took as an instalment
of what was due to the Church in respect of the
education of the people. During the summer the
' Tractarian party were to be found taking unusual
care and forethought in what before had become mere
matter of form, the election of l'roctors to Convoca-
tion ; whilst the other
.party, little dreaming of the
approaching danger of its possible revival, made no
preparations. Since then, Lord DElttiV has berg
pre-rewarded for his intended concession to 'fracta-
nen views and objects by his election as Chancellor
of the University of Oxford ; the Bishop of that See,
with perhaps renewed hopes of now reaching the
Primacy, being at once one of the most ardent Con.
vocationists and one of his warmest supporters. Oa
Ithe vacancy of an Irish Bishopric the other day one
of the most offensive of Irish High Church-men re-
ceived the appointment. And throughout the distri-
bution of its other ecclesiastical patronage that same
influence may be perceived operating on the preatlit
government.
With ell these, and a hundred other minor, indica.
tions and evidences before our eyes, it is impossible
to doubt that the Tractarian party have at last esta-
blished a practical influence in the councils of the
Crown ;—that the ecclesiastical policy of the present
government is of an ultra Iligh Church character ;
that their enormous patronage will be distributed
by them with a view to the supreetary
of that party and their principles ;—and
that part of the plans agreed on between
the Tractarians and Lord Denny (unknown to his
Royal Mistress, and, it is said, to one at least of his
principal colleagues), is the revival of Convocation.
We have long, says the il.risiny Chronicle (existing
chiefly for Tractartan purposes) been in possession of
this report. But the stymy, it adds, has been mis-
understood by the TioleA ; for it is not, it says, in-
tended to revive Couvreation in its present state:
that is, we presume, with merely the powers and
authorities which it pos‘essed when silenced, but to
call it together to devise and recommend a scheme for
self-reform and reconstruction,according to the altered
condition of the Church and society." No doubt this is
the design. Convocation, as silenced in 1717, would
not answer the ends of its present revivers; they
want a council which shall have power at once over
the temporalities, and authority over the doctrines
and formularies of the Church ; and it is with a view
to its re-modelment in this sense that the late elec-
tion of I'roctors was so assiduously attended to by the
Tractarian party. Lotits NAPOLEON iniOit indeed
as well restore liberty to France, by summoning to-
gether the Etnts-Generaux of the last century, as the
Tractarians try to work out their schemes of eccle
sisstical license by the old former Convocation. TIMI
they have repeatedly declared and avowed. Hear
on this point Mr. SEWELL, who in the fantasies of
PLATO finds the true theory of Church government:
" Convocation is a civil creation ; a clerical parlia-
ment instituted for purposes of finance ; not a Synod
of Clotia ministers for proclaiming His Creed."
What he wants is to turn Convocation into a Synod
to frame canons to be enforced by anathema.
" What form of Synod, under which niodifleation,
and with what precise jurisdiction, would be most
suited to our wants, will be a question for the pro-
foundest research." _

And that questiornord DERBY now contemplates
stirring. Where it will lead poor Mr. SEwuL to
we already know, for he has expressed a prefen, as
for being guided in the matter by" the precedents
of tbo early centuries!" So the chances we, Con-
vection will become a sort of Council of Constance,
and sacrifice its martyrs.
The audacious Mr. BENNETT, writing on the G.it-
MN came, has spoken out even plainer thin Mr.
SEWELL :-" We must have liberty—not the chains
and entanglements of a State Protection; which
while it embraces kills'; while it flatters pieces—
the freedom of the children of God."

To plain, practical, rational Englishmen, then a
a sort of semi-lunacy about such nonsense as tb..;
and a year ago, when we had in power a niii,i..ty
who treated it as nonsense, we might dis;
such ravings. Bat when, now-a-days, it is
such etch:missal:al revolutionists as Mr. SEW ELL,
Mr. Ih.Nserr, and Mr. G. A. De.siisos,
that have access to the QUEEN'S Cabinet when they
have almost persuaded it to restore Convocation. and
when their avowed purpose is to remodel it on them
principles and for these objects, there is danger, and
great danger too, in the movement.
Instead, therefore, of restoring an old institution,
their object is to create a new ecclesiastical power in
England; a power which shall make the episcopacy
of the Church not its rulers but its executive chars;
a power Which in all matters ecclesiastical, be they
temporal or spiritual, shall supersede Parliament; a
power which shall unite theurisdiction of Convoca-
tion to the authority of Synod; and possess an 3;10-
late jurisdiction in doctrinal matters, as well as jin
right to remodel cathedral chapters. It is a nov7lty
of the most extensive description, not the restoneien
of worn-out Assembly, which is, aimed at. And it 1
against this that we have to prepare resistance.
Such a scheme cannot, we know, be carried out ;
—it may, however, be attempted. The good ecru. of
the couutry will put it down ; but the bad sow of
tho government may essay it. What, then, we have
at present to protect ourselves against is being 616.
turbed and annoyed by the attempt. For oily
imagine Convocation assembled in the Jerusalem
Chamber, to devise a scheme of self-reform. Then
would meet a body of men unused to cot together ;
unaccustomed to submit to order and decision ; untried
in speech; always leaning on external aid for
support in every movement ; cut off from pi.% tradi-
tions and ignorant of present wants; but stimulated
nevertheless into a morbid activity. Why the very
thought of such an assembly is madness; and the
Minister who permitted it to enter his mind must
either be a maniac,—or something worse. Not even
Mr. GLADSTONE, in his highest flights of pious
Platonism, ever proposed a Synod which should
exclude the Laity.

In the petition it is stated tat the site selected is unfit

istentionsof the leeislature, and the grounds stated for its
attunes are that it is nut detached from the metropolis ;
but at is obvious that a market fur the supply of rued fur

that pipe:item, and not, as proposed, in en uninhabited

the opponents of Smithfield. The principal tildeaSsete
rinsed by the memorialists againet erecting the market in
Copenhagen-S(lde were four, namely, the site itself, the i
limited space, its imperfect drainage, and want of water.
If d could be found, however, from the evident+, of object-
Mg minim, that they (the members of the Market Improve-
Immt Committee) had, in selecting the new site, carefully
vnl,nued to these expressed opinions on the part of the
olvetors, he thought they shou.d at once sake out their

More, Mr. Dunhill had, on the 31st of May, 1847, before
tie select committee of the House of Common Smithfield
Market, replied to Mr. Kemble that he (Mr. Dunhill) bed a
plee for a merkee, which would be about fifteen acres
in extent, snit that the spot of ground he named
for it waa northwest of London, where there was
plenty of ground to be bad, and that highly eligi-
ble for the purpose. In the plan he had pre-
paml he had provided for &bandit's, and the &insatiate he
would 'benefit should be in the neighbourhood of King's
rn..l, adjacent to the Greet Northern Railway terminus.
The spice he proposed to take for the abattoirs would Involve
he'dy or 5 acres more than the 15 for the market.4r. Galloway, a eon of one of the late members of that
Min, had easel at the seas costunittee lii kiluffs W ft. Al-

dermas Copeland, that he was engaged with a company
who intended to establish a market somewhere near to what
was called Maiderelane, Battlebridgr. These was no diffi-
culty at all in procuring ground there, and so far as he then
knew be imegised it to be worth about 8001. an sere. The
' earpentirm might have a half-mile of it ; and it was quite
clear that it permed pecitEar local advantages, inasmuch
r all the railways as the northern side of London would
oarentrate in that direction, consequently the cattle
brought by the London and Birmitigham, the Norther and
Enders, the Neater Counties, the Great Western, and the
foreign cattle brought to the West India Docks could all be
delivered on that sits by rail. With reference to Islington'
market he thlr. Galloway) did not think that place to be
sufficiently spacious. It might be sufficiently large to hold
the cattle tot sale in the market, but his opinion was that
thee should also have room for rest ; end if that accommo-
dation was allowed to the animals they must have more
room than they had in the market at Islington. (Hear,
hear.) Mr. Christopher, a most influential member of
the House in Commons, and one of the present govern-
ment, alter the inquiry in 1837, had proposed the fol-
lowiag resolutiou-, namely :—" First, that notwithstand-
ing the arrangements of the City authorities, and
the vigilance of the police, the existence of a market at
Smithfield for the sale of live stork is, from its confined area
and crowded locality, a great puhlic ieconvenience, annually
increasing in its extent and effect, and that it ought to be
removed from the centre of the metropolis to some
more appropriate site, containing an area of not less
than 13 acres. Stcoud—That a site fur the market should
be selected is the northern suburbs of the metropolis, at a
convenient distance from the termini of the principal rail-
ways." Sir Charles Douglas also proposed—" That the
area of Smithfield muket being less than seven acres, a
site fur • market should be selected near the nictropoli.,
convenient to the termini of the principal railways, con.
taming not less than 11 ACIMI, and rescuing further ream-
niodation to the extent of about 36 acres." The Hen.
Frederic Byng had expressed similar opinions, as also bed
Mr. 11. 11. Fulton, civil engineer, who in giving evidence'
on the Smithfield Market Removal Bill in May, 1651, said
"that be believed the best place for the new market would'
he in the vicinity of Copenhagen field., the western side of
the Camden road, or a situ he had seen in tho pariah of
Horsey. These were all of them on the north side
of London, and there would be in his (Mr. Ful-
ton's) opinion, no difficulty in obtaining excellent drain-
age, and an abundant supply of water for all the
purposes of the market." Now he (NU. Tsylor) would
ask the court whether, after hearing tho evidence
he had briefly recapitulated they did not think that • suffi-
cient ease had, been made out to justify the reports he had
that day brought up. (Cheers, and signs of impatience.)
lie would not go quite so much at length as he purposed to
do, as he saw that the court had made up their min' upon
the subject. (Cries of 't Move.") Ile was about to do so,
but before he did, he would remind the members that the
ground they had purchased for the purposes of the market
embraced an area not of 15 nor of Si, but of from 70 to a
acres. (Hear.) He thought be had said sufficient to she
that the committee had done their duty, and that enough
had been shown from the evidence he bad adduced to jus-
tify the committee and the Homo Secretary as to the deci-
sion they had come to with reference to the propoposcd site.
(Hear.) Ile moved, therefore, with much pleasure, that
the court " do agree with the committee In their report."
Deputy HARILISON seconded the motion. He f,lt grati-
fied in doing so, and expressed his pleasure at the circum-
stance that the trade was in Savour of the site they lad de-
termineil to select. (Hear.)
Mr. Bstsroca said that he believed the committee had
acted wisely, as they had provided sufficient space for the
purposes of a market for the nest 500 years at least. As to
the question of drainage and the supply of water, there
could be no doubt both would be accomplished without
difficulties of much magnitude. Still, he was of opinion
that it would have been better not to have had the market
so closely contiguous to the metropolis as Copenhagen-
fields, more especially when they remembered that In these
doys of rapid transit by railways • mile or two made but •
trilling difference. (Hear? hear.) As to the "trade" has.
lug expressed their acquiescence in the proposal, he (Mr.
Besinoch) did not think much of that, as he had not much
opinion of their wisdom as • body; still, without disrespect
to the butchers of the metropolis, he admitted that it was
only right to consider such • fact as their expression of
feeling upon a subject in which, of course, they were
deeply, if nit chiefly, interested. With these obeervations,
he would consequently support the motion.
Deputy LOTT remarked that he could net agree with the
report, The pink., promoting the removal of the market

biting • pee‘sesing to be minimise-ea, but without

COLLISION AT THE MILES PLATTLNO

STATION.

On Monday night a collision took place at tho
Miles Platting Station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company, between a mail and a goods train,
which did not, however, result In serious injury to any of
ate passengers or &Iseult* of the company. The following
amount is from a paseenger, who sustained some severe
►raises by the collision :

The mail train, which leaves Leeds for Manchester at
8.30 p.m., and is due at Rochdale at 10.40, did not leave the
latter station till 11.5, just 25 minutes after time, and the
exact time at which, by the company's time-tables, it is due
at the Miles Platting Station, Menai star. It proceeded as
usual from Rochdale to Miles Platting, without stopping,
but when approaching that station, and 300 or 400 yard.
short ells, lbe eagle* having began to sleeken speed for stop-
per/slime, whom it is ttwafMeeMst the passengers' tickets,
the 111001111 embisaly same into collision with the rear
of • *WV train before it; and the force of the col-
Sidon wee as great as to elevate the hinder end of tho
break-wiggen which was the last portion of the luggage
train, and the fore part of the neat waggon to it, till the
two elevated ends became as it were locked or propped he
their buffers, like the gable of a house, or like that humid
by sloping two cards to each othe-, in the child's game of
hosmobuilding with playing eardr. The engine of the
mail train was sl) much damaged that it could not pro-1
coed; one of its springs our informant saw lying on the
ground, and between it and the break-van of the luggage
train a pair of wheels which had been forced from their
place by the violence of the shack. The engine retaiued
its proper position, but the dead lock of the two forced up
waggons prevented any up traffic on that line. The officers
of the company offered to send the affrighted passengers
forward to Manchester, but many of them would no longer
risk their live., and they preferred walking Melt two
miles to the town. Our informant was one of these, and as
he left as soon as be could, he could not tell whether any
one was seriously hurt. He had not heard of any when he
quitted the place. In his carriage, • woad class, all the
passengers were thrown against each other, and down upon
the floor, receiving bruises and contusions; and one com-
plained of some femme injury to his chest, with difficulty
of breathing. One man had in his arms an infant, of nine
months, but when the lights were brought (for the collision
broke the lamp of the carriage to pieces, and pat out the
light), he was found seated on the door of the carriage with
the child in his arms. The form of the collision hail also fast-
ened the carriage door, so that the passengers had to be
taken out through the window. The alarm that prevailed
lest in the darkness and the fog, which was then very dense,
the mail train should in turn be run into from behind,
may be readily imagined. After the shock, with the
exception of the two waggons, stacked against each
other as described, the remainder of the luggage train,
which bad either been previously disconnected from
them, or had broken the coupling.chaics, was found
nearly 100 yards further along the line, se if it had been
thus driven forward by the collision. Our informant states
that the night was very foggy, and that before they started
from Roebdale, • trial was made whether the driver could
see a light a little distance down the line, sad he said he
could just see it. When the collision took place it would
be about half-pest eleven o'clock—the mail train had, there-
fore, been due at the Miles Platting station 26 minutes ;
and yet a luggage train was left directly in its way, when
500 yards more would have placed it in suety. Our in-
I format says the engine-driver of the mail train alleged
that the night was so foggy that he could not sea the signal-
light of the station if it were shown.
Another passenger, who gave his name on the spot, and
said ho lived in Liverpool-road, Manchester, declared that
the guard was not at his station, and could not therefore
apply the break. We are informed that under such circum-
stances, and approaching the stoppage station so nearly, the
driver of the mail train, on so foggy a night, did not sound
his whistle—the best signal he could have used—to warn
all concerned oa the approach of the train.
How far theirs statements are true we cannot pretend to
say, but we think it right to mention them, that they may
Ibe investigated, and the truth made known. Though no
one may be seriously hurt, the collision is one clearly due to
culpable negligence or carelessness somewhere, and the
directors will, doubtless, feel it their duty to ascertain who
is the delinquent, and to punish him accordingly
The particulars obtained by inquiry at the Victoria sta
lion were to the following effect :—The mail train was
twenty minutes behind time at Miles Platting. When it
came up, the goods train was standing half-waybetween the
signal and the station ; the signal was en but the fog was
so dense that the driver could not me a light more than
two or three carriage lengths off; and he did not see the
tail light of the seeds train until after the mail engine had
struck the goods van. The mail train was going between
four and flee miles an hour at the time (faster than was
proper, we believe)—and the collision was but a slight one ;
some of the passengers were not aware that an accident had
happened, until the carriage dosn were opened, and they
were desired to alight. Most of the carriages were shaken,
but very little damage was done. The buffer plank of the
mail engine was broken, and the goods van and one of the ,
waggons were somewhat fractured. The goods traits was
an " extra" from Yorkshire. We were further told that
the officials had not beard of any passenger being at all
seriously hurt.—Mancitesfer Guardian.
