CONVOCATION OF THE PROVINCE OF

CANTEIRB U.RY.

Yesterday morning both Houses of the Convoca•
tion of the province of Canterbury assembled al
Westminster for the despatch of business.

THE UPPER HOUSE.
The Archbishop of Canterbury presided in the
Upper House, which assembled in Queen Anne's
Bounty-office, and there were also present the
Bishops of London, Winchester, St. David's, Ox-
ford, Lincoln, Bangor, Llandaff, Lichfield, Chi-
chester, and Norwich.

Dr. Travers Twiss, the Vicar-General of the 1
Province, Mr. F. H. Dyke the registrar, and Mr.
Felix Knyvett, the Archbishop's secretary, were I
also in attendance,
The Bishop of OXFORD inured a resolution to the
effect that this house had received a report from
the joint committee of both houses, containing a
draught of certain occasional services, had read
them from A (that of the harvest), and made cer-
tain alterations, and now sent down such draught
with alterations to the Lower House, desiring the
Lower House to take them into consideration, and
to report their opinion thereon. Without commit-
ting themselves entirely to the services, he thought
it would be well to send the draught down, not
adopting it as a perfect model, but simply express-
ing an opinion that such a form of service ought to
be drawn up for use in our churches.
The Bishop of CHICHESTER seconded the motion.
After some discussion,
His Grace the PRESIDENT put the resolution to
the house, and it was carried.
The Lower House was then summoned. The
Prolocutor (the Dean of Bristol) attended, accom-
panied by the Dean of Norwich, Archdeacon Sand-
ford, Canon Wordsworth, Archdeacon Bickersteth,
the Rev. Harold Brown, and the Rev. F. Vincent.
The draught of the services as amended was handed
to them, and the representatives of the Lower
House retired.
