the *onset, to simertain the time. She knocked, but
there we. no reply; she opened the door, whit* was
only on the latch, and there, in front of the Ample/to,
ley the tarps* of the old man In 0 pool of blood, with
his heed nearly out in two. She ran out and alarmed
the police. Swat wee made, and it wag discovered
that the murderer's weapon wee • bill-book, which,

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, THURSDAY. There was a large
supply of fat beef, and a good demand for prime sorts
at Bos to 84s ; middling selling badly at 68s to yas.
Mutton was plentiful, and trade was quiet at yd to 8d
per lb. Very little lamb on offer; best samples
fetched 8%. About 1,600 store cattle were on offer,
less prices were taken, and all were not sold. Short
supply of pigs; bacon, its 6d, porkers, rzs.
-METROPOLITAN, Trt URSDAY.—The number of
beasts is shorter than on last Thursday, and the de-
mand is good, consequently prices have somewhat
recovered from Monday's depression. The supply of
sheep is also shorter, and choicest qualities are readily
disposed of at a small advance. Trade is likewise
better for calves and milch cows; of the latter there
are so English and yo Dutch. Our foreign supply
consists Of 520 beasts, 4,400 sheep. and 4co calves.

SEEDS.

Our seed trade shows but little change since our
last. In clover and trefoil seeds very few transactions
are reported; the occasional sales that are taking
place are almost entirely for export. For trifolium
small orders continue to drop in. White mustard
seed is very firm, fine qualities being rather scarce.
Rape seed is now unusually cheap. In winter tares
we have had a good business doing; as the supply is
now proving short, prices since this day week show a
further advance of as. to 3s. per qr. Winter bosky
and rye move off slowly at last week's currencies.

A very large business has been done during the last

nothing occur to check the improvement in trade,

SALISBURY 1110CLICAN NYNOD.—Papers respecting the
election of a new synod have just been sent out to all the
clergy and churchwardens in the diocese. The elections of
fa you. n are two-fold. First, each parish is miked to elect
Is) representatives before October 20. The number to be
elected is not the same for every parish, as was the case in
iso ; but the numbers are to be adjusted according to the
following schema iecommend.l by the synod at its last
session : —For populations under 910, one; Xi and under
I" two; lOW and under 2001, three ; Wee and upwards,
four. This arrangement will give about the seine total as
if every parish elected two : and it will obviate the objec-
tion that hiss been felt to giving only the same represeuta-
tion to • large town parish as to adjoining small kmulett.
These piuvehb•l bly representative must he nsidents in
the diocese, and most lie communicant Churchiuen. The
leectors in the parish.: must be adult resident churchmen.
After Huse first elections, the rural deans are .40.1 Li
suniinen those elected to a deaCanal meeting not later
than November 11, to elect lay synodsmen. The lay
synodstuen thus elected must also be communicant
Churchmen resident in the diocese, but then: is no other
qualification ; the Lay representatives' in any deanery are
not bound to elect only from their own number, although,
probably, they will generally do so. Each deanery will
elect six or nine according to its size. The parochial
reprwientativiu; and syneibincen remain in office for three
year, ; Use former, besides having to elect the lay
syuodstnen are asked by the rural deans to attend at least
oman ,j,,,:ao:d ',meting each year for the discussion of
various matters of interest to all Churchmen. Tlw rural
