CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY.—(THIS DAY.)—
This morning having been appointed for the assembling of
both houses of the convocation, for the purpose of
prorogation, his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, accom-
panied by F. Hart Dyke, Esq., her Majesty's Proctor and
principal Registrar of the province of Canterbury, arrived at
the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster Abbey, at half-past
ten o'clock. The convocation ordinarily assembles and pro-
rogues with Parliament, but this year the prorogation oc-
curs some time after the close of the Parliamentary session.
Particular interest was attached to to-day's proceedings, in-
asmuch as it was anticipated that petitions emanating from
the Church Union, relating to the Gorham case, might be
thbeatGtrha fully
ec e

Archbishop having taken his seat on the throne in the f

House, Mr. F. Hart Dyke, by command of his Grace, read
her Majesty's writ for the prorogation, and the Lower
House haying been formally summoned, and on appearing
his Grace ordered the convocation to stand prorogued. The
customary writs and forms were then read, and the Arch-
bisht p declared the proceedirgs at an end.
Tub WEST HIGHLANDS.—A letter, dated :Oban,
Friday night, says :—" I am sorry to say that at Ardrishaig.
and all that way to Oban, the potato crop is more than one-
third diseased. Indeed, at Oban, it is more then one-half;
i went over several fields, and had too clear a proot of the
rapid failure of this esculent. The corn crops are excellent,
and in many places getting ripe."— Glasgow Daily Mail.

bad of forming a corps of observation on the Lover

A letter from Frankfort of the 15th says—" The
Prussian Government, fearing that the Customs
Union between Belgium and France which is spoken
of may be effected, has resolved to make some con-
cession to Belgium, and to renew its treaty of com-
merce with that country,"
A letter from Berlin, of the 17th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says—" Yesterday our Government received
the invitation of the Cabinet of Vienna to send a
Minister to the restricted Federal Council. It is
unnecessary to say that Prussia refuses to accept the
invitation. In yesterday's sitting of the provisional
College of the Princes the question of a war between
Prussia and Austria was discussed. Yet, notwith-
standing all this, it is believed that all will terminate
amicably.".

The German Gazette of Vienna, of the 18th, says
that the corps d'arn 6,3 of Vorarlberg has received
orders to leave for Holsteir, under the command of
the Archduke Albert.

ITALY.

The Concordia of Turin of the 16th relates a
curious anecdote of Monsignor Franzoni, Archbishop
of Turin. When the Carabineers came to arrest
him on the late occasion, he said to the officer—"l
suppose you found a letter, which must have given
you great pleasure, among the papers you seized
yesterday." " Which ?" asked the officer. " Why
that which informed me that I was to be arrested,
and my papers seized." The officer immediately re-
ported the circumstance, but the letter in question
was not to be found among the papers which had been
seized.

The Risorgimento of Turin quotes a letter from
Naples of the 7th, stating that the King of the Two
Sicilies has been divlaying groat uneasiness of
late, having learnt that General Narvaez has
trusty spies at the Neapolitan Court. The
facts of the case are stated as follows :—Prince
Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador at the Court
of Madrid, having solemnly protested to General
Narvaez that the marriage of Count de Montemolino
with a Neapolitan Princess was prompted by no po
litical motives, General Narvaez suddenly produced a
copy of the marriage contract, the terms of which had
been kept a secret by the Court of Naples, and which
therefore could only have been procured from some
person intimately connected with it. In this contract,
the Count de Montemolino is styled Charles VI.,
King of Spain and of the Indies. Prince Carini ap-
peared thunderstruck, and immediately wrote to his
Court, stating the circumstance, which caused great
astonishment and displeasure.
Letters from Bologna of the 13th state that the
country continaes to be infested by robbers.

THE HYGEIAN SYSTEM, as propounded by
Mr. MOUISON, was submitted to the world upwards of 28
years alo. The extensive sale which the medicine (MORISON'S
PILLS) commands in all civilized communities, notwithganding
all the interested opposition of the doctors, is undoubtedly the serest
guarantee to the public of Its beneficial effects, and the truth of the
Hygeian system.
No Chemist or Druggist is authorised to sell Morison's Medicines.
An Agent is to be found in every town throughout the kingdom, and
most parts of the world.

FRANCE.

The Debats says :—The heavy rains which have
lately fallen in various parts of the territory have
given birth to some apprehensions for the corn har-
vest. Although, undoubtedly, certain partial damage
has been cauaed we are happy to be able to say that,
according to the information which we have received,
the injury as yet done has been inconsiderable, and
that the harvest, though perhaps inferior to the last
one, which was unusually abundant, gives every pro-
mise of being above the average. Besides, the crops
bad been in part got in, and but few hail-storms
have taken place, a cause of injury which is far more
disastrous to the husbandman than a heavy fall of
rain."

ALLEGED HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY.—Yesterday
Harriet Simons and Ellen Cooper were finally
examined before Mr. Combe, charged by Mr. E. P.
Sa were, a merchant residing at Cambridge, with
having been concerned in hocussing and robbing him
of 31. 103.

The prisoners denied the charge, but they were fully
committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A Nmw TRICK.—Lord Gardiner came into court
to state that, during his absence from town, two well-
dressed persons had called at his house, No. 46,
Dover-street, Piccadilly, for the purpose, as they said,
of measuring one of the reception rooms, by his
orders, for a new carpet. His servants, though
strongly pressed, refused to admit the men into the
house, and they went away. Now, as he had never
given any orders to Messrs. Jackson and Graham, of
Oxford-street, from whose house the men said they
had been sent, and as Messrs. Jackson and Co., upon ap-
plication, had declared that they had sent no one from
their house for the purpose described, he could not
help thinking that a robbery had been contemplated.
lie was the more disposed to believe that felony was
intended, from the minute description of the room
which the persons who called said they had been sent
to measure.

Mr. HARDWICK thought the matter one which
ought to be communicated to the police.

CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT AND FORGERY.—
Mr. John Bates, a man who up to the present trans-
action had supported the character of a respectable
and honest man, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Elliutt for final examination on the double charge of
forgery and embezzlement. _ _

The prisoner, it appeared, had been secretary to a
branch of the Travellers' Rest Society of Odd Fel-
lows, held at the Angel public-house, in Lambeth-
walk, up to July last, when he absconded, and kept
out of the way to the time of his apprehension. Upon
an examination of the books, it was found that the
prisoner had appropriated to his own use between 701.
and 801. of the society's funds ; and further, that he
had forged the name of the chairman of the society
to a post-office order to enable him to receive the
money for it. This last fact was proved by evidence,
and it was also satisfactorily proved that in June last
the treasurer handed the prisoner 101. to forward to
the widow of a member at Southampton, but that he
had never done so, and that the society, in the August
following, had again to pay the money.
The prisoner was fully committed on both charges.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Ist instant have arrived.
The Spanish Chamber of Deputies held a sitting on
the Ist. Several Bills of local interest were presented
by the Government. The Chamber then elected a
provisional bureau—M. LOT'S MAYENS was chosen
President by 148 votes, M. GONZALEZ ROMERO,
Count DE VISTAHERMOS.A, M. VAHEY, and 111. ZARA-
GOZA, Vice-Presidents. The Chamber afterwards no-
minated committees to examine the electoral returns.
All these committees consist of Ministerialists. The
Chamber, it was believed, would be definitively con-
stituted in less than a fortnight. The Epoca notices
that no mention is made in the speech from the
Throne of the tariff question, and assumes that the
Cabinet does not intend to present any measure of
importance on the matter this session. The Monte-
molinist journal, the _Esperanza, was seized on the
31st ult. by order of the political chief. It was
rumoured that the Portuguese Government bad
solicited the good offices of Spain in the questions
pending between it and England ; several conferences
on the subject had taken place between the Minister
of Foreign Affairs and the English Ambassador.
The Princess CLEMENTINE, daughter of Louis
PHILIPPE, was expected at Seville on the 4th or sth,
on a visit to the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER.
In consequence of the Ist being All Saints' Day,
the Bolsa was closed.

plication, and wait the result of any orders the Com-
missioners might make, and to deposit the article at
the Exhibition if the application was granted. The
receipt which I gave to her was open. Other people
have come to the office to make applications, and I
sent a ktter to the Rev. Edward Rudge, honorary
secretary to the local committee at Chelsea, request-
ing a space fur Airs. Richardson. I was present
during the whole time Mrs. Richardson was in the
office.

Cross-examined—When Mrs. Richardson first
came I had been about three weeks in Mr. Young's
service. lie received her ten shillings himself and
signed the receipt. I was in his confidence, and ne-
gotiated his business with parties. When the lady
left the office there were not, to the best of my recol-
lection, other persons applying. She was not hurried
away out of the office decidedly. Mr. Young has an
understanding with the landlord as to stowing away
artichs in the warehouses behind, which are capable
of holding vast quantities. I never heard Mr. Young
say that he SN'i3 in direct communication with the
Commissioners. I'll swear that he did not say so
whilst you (addressing the solicitor for the complain-
ant) was there.

Upon his rn-examinltion the witness said he knew
that Mr. Young had ken in communication with the
Home-office on the subject of procuring boarding-
houyrs for 500 artisans.

Mr. Adam Young, sen., father of the defendant,
said—l am in the defendant's office occasionally, and
I was there when Mrs. Richardson came. She seemed
to me to come for a counter for the exhibition of
goods. I did not hear my son say that he could get
space. She said she came upon Mr. Powell's recom-
mendation, and that she understood my son would
forward her views in obtaining space. The nature of
his answer was, that he would endeavour to obtain a
space. Igo to his place to look over his books, and
see that all is right. I swear positively that he never
represented to anybody that he could sell a space.
She paid the money. The reason my son wanted her
to take less space than she asked for was, because the
smaller the space required the greater the chance of
allotment. She left a handkerchief behind her, and I
sent it to her in a day or two.
Cross-examined—My son is not of age. The im-
pression upon my mind was, that she paid the money
for Mr. Young,
.jun., to make the application for her.
My son has agents in different districts.
Alderman Gll3llB—l have considered the case with
great attention, and I believe the witness, Mrs.
Richardson, is the witness of the truth. I shall take
bail to the amount of 401., that the defendant appear
at the sessions to answer any charge that may be
brought against him, and I shall send the depositions
to the court.

'rite Llewelyn Quarry !s a part of a Sett of Thirty Acres, in the
Parish of Llanilechid, Carnarvonshire, at the base of the Llewelyn
Mountain, six miles from the Port of Bangor, a Lease of which, ter
TWenty-nine Years, bas been secured at the usual Royalty.
The Sett comprises 12 Acres of Slate and about 20 Acres for the
deposit of waste, and adjoins the Estate of Colonel the Honourable
Edward Douglas Gordon Pennant, M.P. The slate Bed or Lode
being a continuation of the great Roofing Slate formation worked by
him at the celebrated Penrhyn Quarry, from which the Llewelyn
Quarry is distant about half-a-mile.
It will be a matter of sunrise to the public to find that a Quarry
immediately adjoining the Penrhyn Quarry, which for the last
twenty years or more has yielded a profit of upwards of 80,0001. per
annum, should now he in the market the circumstance is, how-
ever, thus accounted for.

In the Valley at the foot of the Penrhyn Quarry, close to the
Elver Ogwen and the Turnpike-road, the course of the Slate has
been diverted from a straight line by the uprising of a huge mass
of Green Stone, throwing- a portion of the Slate Bed or Lode
which is here about 500 yards wide to the north-west; this western
branch pa.ses under the village of Bethesda, close to which are tl4
Pandraineog and Coytrnor Quarries, now in full operation; the
other portion of the Bed keeps its original bourse, about north-east,
and dips under a lofty ridge of Killas or Clay Slate, and has hitherto
been lost to the miner and geologist. It has, however, lately been
d scovered, that on the north side of th:s Killas ridge the Bootleg
Slate lies only about four fathoms below the surface.

The discovery was made a few weeks since by sinking a shaft
about two-thirds down the slope of the ridge. or mountain, below
which point there is sufficient fall for the deposit of waste, and every
facility for working a Qua:ry oa an extensive scale. The Slate is of
the finest quality and colour.
In three months sufficient Slate Rock may be cleared of the over-
lying Mlles to supply frum fifty to 100 Quarrymen and Dressers,
and a lurther extent of ground progressively opened. The Slate
raised at the Llanberis and Penrhyn Quarries leaves a profit of at
least 100 per cent. on the Labour Cost ; and this Quarry when
opened, if worked with skill and energy, cannot fail to be equally
profitab:e.
This important discovery it is now proposed to work out
by a Company in 5,000 Shares of 41. each, Deposit 1/. per Share
(a pertion of which has already been taken). It is' estimated
that 20,000/. may ultimately be required to develops the re-
sources of this extensive and valuable Sett; but, in accordance with
the cost-book principle, no call can be made without the sanction of
a majority of the shareholders.
For the remaining shares and prospectus, application to be made
to Mr. T. Uzielli, broker, 75, Old Broad-street, and to the office of
the Company, 7, Lothbury.

THE GENTLEMAN'S.

Sylvanus Urban takes the Edinburgh reviewer to
task for his recent defence of M. Panizzi's method of
cataloguing the British Museum Library, and, after
having read both articles, we cannot but admit that
Sylvanus hath the best of the argument, and has put
both M. Panizzi and his defender completely hors
de combat. The interesting diary of the Earl of
Egmont is continued, and in the present instalment
we have a report of the debate in the House of Com-
mons, on the 31st January, 1728.9, on the motion for
continuing the same number of land forces as the pre-
vious year, and which soon became a debate on the
whole of the Ministerial policy, foreign and domestic,
in which the Pulteneys (Daniel and William), the
Walpoles (Sir Robert and Horace), " down-right
Shippen," as Pope calls him, and all the Parliamentary
celebrities of the day, took part. We rise from the
perusal of this debate with a much higher
opinion of the abilities of Sir Robert Walpole
as a debater, a logician, and a statesman than
we had previously entertained. We have
also in this number some original letters of
Bishop Bedell, an interesting Biography of Andre
Chenier, and several communications on antiquarian
matters. The number is illustrated by a portrait of
the late Mr. Thomas Dod, the most learned print
collector that ever lived, of whom we have a copious
biography, and by views of Clare Castle, St. Julian's,
Norwich, and other examples of Gothic architecture.

adoption of a new process of preAration, by which the
slow, injurious, and unhealthr operation of steeping
would be entirely done sway with. The answer of the

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.

The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2dol.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year. •
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Juno last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9301. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leavin,, the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 1
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. 1 ls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Stead Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish6p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderah:e amount of business, not only in Lifo Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.
