was remarked by the Bishop of Oxford, that a great deal
of:the prejudice which ezisted as to -the meetings of Con-
vocation, was based upon a wrong apprehension of what
they desired to do when it was again in action. It was
feared that it would be a sort of Ecclesiastical Parliament,
sitting from day to day, through a.given session, to find
work for itself, or to receive suggestions for work from
other quarters, and so rake up all matters of difference of
opinion, until it would only become the scene of a trial of
strength between the persons entertaining different views
in the Church. Such a course could not be too strongly
deprecated; but what they desired was this—that, as there
must be, if the Church were to meet the wants of the
population, certain changes, these changes should be dis-
cussed by the clergy in a responsible body, under the
sanction and restraint of the Crown and Primacy, before
they should be proposed in the Houses of Parliament.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

FRANCE

On Wednesday the Emperor and Empress left Paris by
the Orleans Railway for the baths of Biaritz, in the Pyre-
nees.

It is announced by the Moniteur that the Emperor, on
his return from Biaritz in August, will take the com-
mand of the camp at Boulogne.
A curious_and alarming circumstance occurred on the
Strasburg railway on Tuesday, near the town of Cora-
mercy. As one of the trains was passing through a wood
several shots were fired upon it from behind the trees. The
train was stopped, and chace was given to the assailants
by the conductors and passengers, who ultimately captured
several peasants, who admitted having committed the out-
rage, and gave as their reason that the only use of rail-
ways was to propagate the cholera.
Before 6, p.m. on Friday every ship had left Calais roads
with the French troops on board. The Fire Queen
boarded the Prince at 5, a.m. All was confusion on board,
and Captain Lefebre expressed his displeasure, ordering
the Prince instantly to get under weigh. In heaving the
slack of the chain, the interior of the iron work of the cap-
stain broke, rendering it useless. The Reine Hortense,
with General Baragnay d'Hilliers on board, was under
weigh for the Baltic. Captain Lefebre followed in the
Fire Queen, and boarded the yacht, for the purpose of
consulting the General, who wished the Prince and
transports to keep together. The Prince was ordered to
the Downs for repairs. The Fire Queen was sent to the
Downs with Messrs. Maudsley and Lambert. The Reine
Hortense proceeded to the Baltic, with two brigs in tow.
At 2,30 p.m. the Herefordshire and two transports were
ordered to the Downs, to join the Prince, in tow of two
steamers. The defect being telegraphed to the Admiralty,
a new capstain and chains were sent off from the estab-
lishment of Mr. Mare, so that the delay will have been
but trifling.

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN

The insurrection has triumphed. Despatches, in rapid
succession during the week, have shown that those early
statements which were telegraphed by Government agents
were either based on erroneous information or were wil-
fully distorted.

On the 18th the municipality of San Sebastian declared
openly for the movement, and the National Guard rose in
arms. On the morning of the 19th two battalions of the
Bourbon Regiment, the Carbineers, and a detachment of
cavalry, left San Sebastian, under the command of General
Gabala. It was believed that they were going to join
those of Saragossa. Vittoria had also declared in favour
of General O'Donnell.

Telegraphic despatches from Perpignan and Bayonne,
stated that. Valladolid, Saragossa, Burgos, Grenada, and
many other places, had declared for O'Donnell, and that
Zabala, with the troops of the Basque provinces, was
marching towards Madrid. The cry of the Constitution-
alists is generally " Long live the Queen and the Constitu-
tion ; Death to the Ministers." But at Barcelona the cry
is " The Constitution and Morality." Whether the word
morality is intended to be applied to the executive Govern-
ment or the Queen remains yet to be known. A private
letter from Bayonne states an attempt is being made by
some of the Constitutionalists to effect a reconciliation
between O'Donnell and Narvaez. Every attempt at re-
publican movement appears to have failed.
General Mazzaredo, late commander of the Basque
Provinces, has arrived in France.
A telegraphic message received in Paris on Friday, is as
follows :—Madrid has declared against the Ministers.
The Cabinet is dissolved. San Luis (Sartorius,) the
Premier has fled. Espartero commands in the centre.
It was expected that Queen Christina would arrive, yester-
day, in Paris.
The following from Bayonne is dated the 20th :—" Ma-
drid made its pronunciamento on the 17th. The troops
and population accomplished this act with unanimous ac-
cordance. The Count of San Luis, PrPsidont of the.
Council, has i asbefore mad
fled. The Mridn.
i is try
Esparterois dissoll Saragossaesedd.ignated a
pronounced
the chief for forming a central army. General Zabala has
left St. Sebastian, and is marching to join him with the
troops he has assembled in the North"
Important despatches have since arrived, showing that
the insurrection has gained a firm and decided supremacy.

A later Paris telegraph, says :—" The popular insurrection
at Madrid began on the 17th inst. The populace had
arms, and raised barricades. The Ministers resigned, and
the Queen summoned General Cordova. The Progressista
Generals took the command. On the 18th the insurgents
were masters of the capital. The troops had acted with
vigour all the night through. The Gazette of the 18th
publishes a new Ministry, in which there were three 3lo-
derados and three Progressistas. Fighting was still going
on at several places."
The last places that have actually pronounced are Valla-
dolid, Tolosa, and Villareal. It is also added that Valencia
has joined the movement, and that risings in Catalonia
have begun. Espartero has gone to Saragossa, to place
himself at the head of the movement. On the 19th July
the population of Barcelona was still tranquil, but uneasy.
Armed bands of men threatened the manufactories. De-
crees, ordering the alcades to make a levy en masse to put
down the bands, had been published. The National Guard
had been armed.

A Madrid despatch of the 19th says :—The people have
sacked the palace of Christina at Sallamanda, near Grenada.
A battle has been fought between O'Donnell and Blazer.
Blazer has been defeated, wounded, and made prisoner.
A letter from Paris, dated Friday, says One of the
rumours in circulation this afternoon was that Queen
Maria Christina, having quitted Madrid in disguise, was
arrested near San Sebastian, as she was within a few
leagues from the fontier, and that she is at this moment
in custody, with her daughter, in the castle of that town.
She had taken refuge in the Royal Palace in Madrid, when
the populace attacked her own.
