CONTINUED DEFEAT OF'THEi OPPONENTS TO CONVOCATION . Yobk rivals - CMiterbury ;; 1 " Ebor "; -win 8 the palm in the rape of subserviency ;; . and " Cantuar " sits cro ^ nles ^; in * tainb ^ th ^ J We thought that Drl Sunmerliact sucfjeeded ^ erably well as ^ the Louis Napoleon of : the Church ; hut Dr . Musgrave has far surpassed his cb-primate by a very simple T | yrodess ^ being ^ imsel fc :- # ; W *& John Bird , & c ., " -did dattse % he' ddc * s of fthei Jerusalem Chamber'to b ^ 'bpfeneVlV ^ hd suffer bishops and archdeaMhs'tb sit within . Kay , they were even permitted to gb th ^ ' len gth of < piking and pre- ! seating petitions . Df . Musgrave has _ not so read bis lesSPn ^ has toot so understood his duty .. True , he caused the members of the Convocation of York to be summoned ; the writs were p lain , and not to be misunderstood . But , with a display of genius which would have made the fortune of a continental Minister in the stormy timea of ' 48 ; he boldly stopped there . That was quite a sufficient homage to pay to the principles of the Constitution ; and amazing as the fact is , yet it is a fact , that when the telergy , convoked by , said writs ] appeared before thedoors of the- 'Chapter at York , they found themi loc ked , ' and no Archbishop -or Archbishop ' s Commissioner Mwithm * Bfeht . or even "within ' hearing ! Does not Drl Musgrave deserve that Order of Sfc . Andrew , " which the Emperor Nicholas did , not ' send to Louis Napoleon !
It is well remarked by the Odriimittee of the London Union on Church Matters , in their last Report , in reference * to 'thojso attempts to silence the voice of thb Church ; that " the exercise of such arbitrary prerogative in 1 the case of the Church , is tho Pnly example to be found in later times , and the only one that would now bo tolerated . " Such is the fact—a fact full of Htrango meaning . ' A Town Council Chamber locked up by all order from Downing Street ? a Vostry Eoom closed by the fiat of a Rector ; cither of these ' acts would create a Ismail
revolution . But here , is the Parliament of the Church closed tip with scant oeremony in one "iHtanco , ahd without any ceremony in another , and little is' said on the matter :, This i suggests f ? ravo reflection si as to what the Church has done in past times , to bringjon herself such ignominious troatnipnt even fromlior own sons . It suggests grav e ' doubts aa to whether shrt has Mfillod that iniBsion with wliioli sho declares herself

Ifc laya the basis ; for a eitrbng opinion , that the phufch must booomo ' Tar other , ithan she i 8 before tahe can really bo' the Church' of ^ np ; land , arid of tho People of England .. r i .

herself . This Contest for Convocation ^ and Synodical action is thctest bf Her virtue ^ fid fitness to be what she declajr ' ; herselfi Sh ^ may not choose ; either destruction as a , C ; hurc ^| or victory as . a Ghuyckl-th ^ is i » e olear alteEBM ^ yer ' But so- far as the contest has hittiertw proceededj we are- bound to cbnfess , that the advocates of Convocation and Synodical action of a Church-witH »' cbnsfciefic ^ ,. not .

In hia note to . the ditjlbmatio representatives . of England in Vienna * St . PetersKurff , iPrankfort , and Paris , declining
to expel foreign ; refugees from this country , . Lord Granville touches upon the threat that . th © acts of such persons will ^^ b & retaliated / upon "English traveilerfrj- 'hu't , instead of simply declaring that he * will see right done by his countrymen , he limits the' vindftjation to what he calls" unoffending" English travellers , and concedes an unde ^ fined light of taking .-. « . exceptional measures of precaution' ? against * suspected" English travellers . Our countrymen , therefore , will have to consider well in which category they must be classed . Here is the
phrase—« Witii reference to the intimation that exceptional measures of precaution may bo taken against British subjects travelling abroad , Her Majesty ' s Government cannot complain if , while insurrection is raging , or its flame ! is scarcely extinguished , foreign Governments should take precautions against suspected English travellers . " . . As Lord Granville has volunteered this obliging information tp the police Pf Russia and Austria , it becbtnes desirable for Englishmen toconsider whiitttiaKcMih . ena " Btisp ' ected-ior " unoffending according to the local interpretation . Mr . TVTntlihr . wn nrmme . is de facto to be considered to
a " suspected" man ; an ^ o ne would like know what he did to earn that distinction in quasi-Aiustrian ^ lbreiice . In Naples it is obvioiis that Mr . GladstPne would bfi " Buspected , and if ho ao to Italy again , hemust " look out for squalls . Clearly Lord Granville wont answer for him . We complained of Lord Palmerston ibr only protesting , but Lord Oranville declares by anticipation that he wont even " complaml iiy the way , Lord Pajmerston would ^ evidently be " euspectod ; " and if he travel in Austrian land , he is to expect no championshi p from the late Vice-President of the Board of Trade and Commi « H , nnftr of the Exnosition . On the other hand ,
it is evident that Lord Granvillo would bo reckoned among the " unoffending , with Lord Grey , Mr . MabFarlano , Lord John RusbcII , Sir Francis Head , and Lord Derby . . . Lprd Granvillo dcclirios to expel foreign refligees , and he uses a peculiar argument . An asy-Fum , ho says , has been freely given to all refugees ; arid '' it is obvious that this hospitality could not uw * r ^ rA ^ r » mAn if it . wfti-e not so widely
