CONFOCATION OP Till CLERGY--(THIS DAT.)

This morning the convocation of the prelates and
clergy of previa°, of Canterbury met for the dopateh o
business. The Upper House, under the presidency of the
Bishop of London, sat in Queen Ann's Bounty Mice,
Dean's-yard; and the Lower Hoe" presided over by the
Dean of Bristol, the prolocutor, in the Jerusalem Chamber,
Westminster Abbey. The Upper Howe sat bat
in a few minutes, and the only business tnnsactol was the
reception of a petition from the dkcose of Ely, against the
abolition of church-rates. The Archbishop of Canterbury
being in attendsuoe upon her Majesty at Windsor, the house
was adjourned until to-mon ow, but the meeting then will be
merely pro forma, end no bushsese will be disposed of until
Friday. The right reverend prelates present were—The
Bishops of Oxford, Lincoln, Salisbury, St. tueph, Lichfield,
and Gloucester sad Basta.

In the Lower House a debate arose on the report of a com-
mittee sad gravamen relative to the power of parliament to
make lama affecting the fundamental doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England without previously consult-
ing couvocation. Canon Selwyn moved a resolution
denying any such right and that the nso:ut'on be made an
articular eke, and c aried to the
,tipper House. The recent
law of divorce was strongly dwelt upon and it was budded
that if Parliament could establish inch a system of its own
accord it could alter the sondes end laws of the Church just
as It thought proper, end the meeting of convocation wan
• nullity. The dotate, which was warm sod animated, had
not concluded when our repeat left.
. . .

These per:olicel amemblagea of the prelates and c'ergy of
this province appear to be growing in ambition ; fora kind
of Hansard" hes been adopted. It is caged the " Chrostkie
of Conrocation," and the work contains the whole of the
debates that take place in the two houses. Copies of the lasi
eeseion's report were laid on the table to-dap.
