The Upper House of Convocation agreed yesterday week to an

Address to the Queen, asking for power to organize a more effec- tual representation of clerical opinion in the Lower House of Con- vocation ; if it had been to organize lay opinion on these subjects a little more completely, there would have been more sense in the petition. The Lower House of Convocation never greatly mis- represents the clergy, but the clergy do greatly misrepresent the Church.
