MEETING OF CONVOCATION.

At a private meeting, held yesterday, of some of the
most distinguished persons belonging to the Evangelical
party in the Church, it was unanimously resolved to
make, in ten or twelve days, a grand demonstration
against the contemplated renewal of Convocation. A
distinguished Noble Earl will preside on the occasion,
and it is expected that the gathering will be one of the
greatest which has ever taken place in this country in
connection with Church matters. Similar meetings will
be forthwith held in all parts of the kingdom, and it is
said, that Lord Derby, aware of the spirit which ho has
evoked, is already beginning to waver as to whether or
not he should persist in his intention to sanction the
restoration of Convocation.

THE FALSE REPORTS OF THE REVIVAL
OF CONVOCATION•

We are authorised to give the most unqualified con-
tradiction, for the second time, to an assertion, which has
been published by the limes, that it is the intention of
her Majesty's Ministers to sanction the revival of the
active powers of Convccation. There is not, and never
has been, the slightest foundation for such a rumour.
Her Majesty's Government have not, we most distinctly
declare, entertained the question for one moment. We
understand that it was in consequence of a foolish wager
on the Stock Exchange that our contemporary was
hoaxed into the promulgation of the absurdity in question.
