MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.—The Con-
servative members of Parliament met Lord Derby to-da3
at two o'clock.
MEMBER FOR lIIINTINGDON.—We learn by the last
mail, that Mr. Thomas Baring, the member for Hunt-
ingdon, had been seriously indisposed at New York,
and was confined to his hotel. Influenza was stated to
have been his disease. He was expected to leave for
Liverpool in the next steamer (the Arctic.)
LIVERPOOL ELECTION.—The Liverpool Albion states
that there is to be a petition against the return of Mr.
Forbes Mackenzie and Mr. Turner, for that borough.
The allegations are bribery and treating.
CONVOCATION.—In Mr. Walpole's reply.to Sir J. V.
Shelley, on Saturday, it will be observed that Mr.
Walpole did not settle the question of prorogation,
which practically includes that of the right of delibera-
tion. He asserted, however, most emphatically, that
" nothing should induce him to recommend the Crown
to grant its license to Convocation to make canons...He
entertained the strongest opinion that nothing could be
more detrimental to the Church of England, and nothing
was more'calculated to cause schism in the church than
the revival of Convocation.

has been elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Sur.
