SEEDS.

Increased activity is now visible in the seed trade.
For new trifolium, both French and English, there is
now a good inquiry at advanced prices. New English
winter tares are now beginning to appear in our
market ; for yearling parcels more money is asked.
A few samples of new home-grown trefoil seed have
been shown, but prices have not yet settled down.
White mustard continues very firm. Of rape seed
the crop is said to be good, and quotations have
opened at a reasonable figure. Hemp and linseed
meet with no attention. Should the present drought
continue much longer, there will undoubtedly be a
heavy demand for seeds during thc autumn.—John

DEATH OF THE REV. H. JENOUR.

We regret to announce the death of the Rev. a
Jenour, vicar of St. John's, Portland, on Sunday last.
The rev. gentleman was in his 81st year, and had been
in possession of the benefice since 1840. The gross
value of the living, which is in the gift of Hyndman's
Trustees, is only £6O a year. Mr. Jenour was greatly
respected by Ms parishioners. The smallness of his
living rendered him almost as poor as was his Master
when on

earth.

SEEDS.

Less activity, as might be expected, is now shown
in our market. In clover seeds very few transactions
are taking place, the trade having apparently resolved
before making their purchases, to await fuller informa-
tion concerning the new crops. A few samples of
new American red seed have just come to hand. New
English trefoils are held for long prices. For trifolium
the demand is, of course, daily decreasing. Winter
tares have been in greatly improved request, and the
supply proving short, an advance of 35 to gs per qr.
has been readily obtained. But few vetches appear to
be now left in the hands of growers. English linseed
meets with more attention. in mustard and rape seed
there is very little doing. Winter Barley and rye sell
at recent currencies. Canary seed is easier.—John
Shaw and Sons.

CHRISTCHURCH.

FREE AND OPEN Citt:it-c-ii-.1-A-Tery stoner mooting
took place at the National Schoolroom on Monday even-
ing last, (the Rev. .1. Nash in tip. chair). the object of
which was to consider the advisability of NOW: arranges
moult different to the existing one beim: onate to with
regard to the sittimm in the Priory Church. It appears
that several persons have faculty pews, and many others
claim to have inch, and refuse to admit wor-hippers to
their sent* even supposing the s..ats lina not Bit OCCUpiell.
The Priory Church resembles more • cathedral than a
church and the congregation find themselves scattered
all over the spacious nave, the result to many being
that hearing what corneal from the pulpit is out
of the question. The aggrieved parishioners-and
their name is kgiou-auggested as the remedi that
all seats should be free :m1 open, loft them who
are already within e fortable hearing distance of
the pulpit, maintain: that vested rights cannot be over-
ridden in this way. Itetween the.: tao factions the
debate waxed warm on Monday evening last. In the result
a re-olution was pa-set That in the opinion of this
meeting all seats sholibf Is: free and open, but respecting
all legal vested rights." It was also determined to appoint
a committee to en sire into the faculties, who shall
report the result of these investigations to an adjourned
meeting.

Tim Bestial, SERVICE-- Touching the alleged omission
of a part of the Hu: ial Service at the interment of Thontaa
Parsons, an exemplary Wesleyan for SO yews, w bleb was
reported in the Sa Joetrar.l, the Rev. E. (ledge,
assistant citrate of Cramlorne, writes that the remains of
Thomas Parsons, so far front being buried as if there was
no hope tor bins beyond the grave, were committed to the
ground " in er foie /tope of the Ileserreclion to derma
life." He goes on—" We do not think it our duty to
pronounce judgment upon the departed, and least of all
upon those whose only sin arises from ignorance and want
of better tdaching—for Ylesivas Parsons, as you truly
said, was much respected by every one here, having teen
a most exemplary character. It is true that by an
unfortunate mistake, occasioned by the wind blowing the
leaves of the book about, the words 'sure and' were
omitted ; hut since 'certain ' and 'sute • are synonymous
teraue, the omission made no alteration in the sense"
The Rev. 11. C. Rogers writes saying '' I ant assured by
inure than one of those present at the funeral that the
only word omitted was 'sore. Hail, however, the whole
sentence been left out the sentence which comes soon
after' a. or hope (his our brother thlth. wou'd surely
have been left out too, if any omission at all had been
intended lveforeband. There ciedd, therefore, have been
no need at all to any charitably-minded person to have
received an assurance from the I.ttiriating minister that
the otniasion warn accidental. Yet lam sorry to say that
