SEEDS.

Our agricultural seed trade, as might be especial,
is now so inactive that it affonls scarcely any subject
for remark. Occasional export onlers for clover seed
drop in. but at present there is no speculation in the
article. It does not seem pmbable that much trifolium
will be saved in this country for seed ; the offers of
trifulium which now come to hand from France are
made at a considerable advance on those of a few
weeks since. For spring tares there is still some
inquiry, but the supply is almost nil. Mustard and
rape seed are without quotable variation. Canary
seed having apparently seen its highest, and the &-
mawl having sensibly diminished, is now drooping in
value. Hemp seed is firm, and white millet being
scarce, is chwer---John Shaw & Sons.

PALEKSTONE.

DURING the thunderstorm which raged here on Wed-
nesday, the electric fluid, followed by a terrific peal of
thunder, struck the thatched residence attached to the
Grasshopper Inn in the occupation of Mr. Joshua Crocker.
on the Bournemouth-road, wetting it on fire, and such was
the rapid nature of the conflagration that it was very
soon reduced to a heap of ruins. The mother id the pro-
prietor and her two daughters, who were in the boum at.
the time. were rendered almost senseless by the electric
shock, and three horses standing outside the hostelry were
stricken to the earth ; they however subsequently
recovered. The tire engine fmni Poole, in charge of Mr.
Supt. Hunt, was promptly on the spot, but arrived too
late to render any material amistance, ant we regret to
add that • considerable portion of the furniture was des-
troyed including some 4... My jewelry, the latter we hope
I will he found amongst the debris.

BIRTH la A RAILIF‘Y MAIN.—On Friday morning, a few
minutes after the 7.25 train left the Bournemouth (West)
Station, a young woman, a passenger with others in a third
claAs carriage, for Poole, gave birth to a male child.
When the train arrived at Poole about eight minutes sub.
sequently. the station-master (Mr. Potter) received infor-
mation of what ha.) occurred, and the woman was
removed to the ladies' waiting room. Mr. H. Ellis,
surgeon to the railway company, and a nurse were sent for,
and the mother and child received every attention The
girl had been in domestic service at Bournemouth and
was on her way to her mother's home at Poole. She and
her infant were conveyed there as soon as the medical
gentleman permitted their removal, awl we understand
they are both doing well. The- shall we call it happy?—
event was the cause of delaying by a quarter of an hour
the departure of the train from the Poole station

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, THURSDAY,—We had a moderate
supply of beef on our market to-day, but trade was
very quiet indeed, and at the close of the market a
good many were left in the pens unsold. Best samples
fetched from SCK to Ras per cwt., and middling sorts.
which were very difficult to dispose of, changed hands
at from yos to 755. Mutton was also in full supply.
but the demand was extremely slow, and a good deal
was left unsold. Best wethers fetched from MN to 9rl
per lb., and heavy cwcy from 741 to 841. Lamb was
again plentiful, and there was a good inquiry for prime
samples, at from 9d to tid per lb. We had a good
supply or store sheep, but trade was dull at late rates.
There were about 1,500 store mule on ofier, hut the
demand was slow, and although holders submitted to
A further reduction in price, a good many were left
unsold. The mulch cow trade was again very quiet.
There were about 1,203 pigs on offer, and choice
light samples of bacon were in good request at ,12s
per score; heavier samples changed hands at Its 9d,
and porkers at I2S.
METROPOLITAN, Titt'usl4.tv.—The number
of beasts is much larger than on last Thursday. Trade
is very dull, prices arc lower, and a clearance cannot
be effected. We have also more sheep and lambs,'
and a considerable number remain unsold. Calves
arc not so plentiful ; they are disposed at fully late
quotatiOft ; some choice ones make rather more money.
There arc 40 English and Go foreign milch cows on
offer; there is scarcely any trade for them. Our foreign
supply consists of 170 beasts, 5,640 sheep, and 310
calves.

AMATEUR CONCERT.

.t party of ladies and gentlemen give a concert at the
Royal Hotel Assembly-room on Friday afternoon last.
The concert was in all of the Os ' gton Church Organ
Fund, and Mr. Luce had very kindly lent the room for the
purpose. The arrangements were niaile by Mr. 11.
Wheeler, and a large and fashionable audience assembled.
The weather being tine, thee pony had the opportunity
of seeing throu.:ll the open WilidOWS the water of the bay
just roughened by the sea-horses, as these white waves
came tumbling in.
The programme commenced with Auler's overture
" Maumiellis" by Mr. Rods:eft, Mrs. Barnard, Mr. Boyton
Smith, anil Mr. A. 7.. Palmer. It went exceedingly well,
:mil at once gave the audience to understand that they
had secured a pleasure of high order. Rev. E. B. Bracken-
bury followeil with Stuart's song "The Lady o' the Lea."
the singer has a full rich voice, and he gave the song with
sufficient archness and general expression, as that he was
lunch applauded. Mrs. Burnard gave an Italian song,
" lieu, nilieolo" (Randegger), in a very tasteful manner
Anil with good voice. Ml's Blackstone Williams Bang
Stallivan's " Will he come 1" with pathos and care, and
some of the lady's lower notes were rich and sweet. The
next was • trio, most harmoniously sung by Mrs. James,
Mrs. BurnanL and Mr. Brackenbury—" 0 sing, Itweet
bird" (Nlatzinghi). It was most charmingly rendered,
the soprano of Mrs. James, the contralto of Mrs. BurnanL
an.! Mr. Brackenbury's manly voice being alike good :they
were all so evenly halancesl, and blended so beautifully
that the trio was a decided surresa The first encore of
the afternoon was won by Mrs. James for the most artistic
tendering of Bevignani's " La }lonia ; the lady sang it
mint gracefully, trilling the grace-notes with well-sus-
tained power and ease Iler repetition was also
heartily applauded. Mrs. Ilawkshaw then, im the con-
certina, areionPanied by her sister on the pianoforte,
played a fantasia on " Macomb,- and rendered it inset
agreeably, showing remarkable proficiency in the manage-
ment of the little instrument. Se much skill dbi the Lady
display that it is clear the concertina is worthy the study
of young ladies, an! if 111,111. id them were to devote their
attention to it there would be an agreeable variety in-
of ladies being almost tied to the inevitable piano-
forte, There seems a little oddity in • lady performing on
and the harp requires fingers scarcely

TEN REASONS FOR OPPOSING RITUALISM.

At a recent meeting of the Manchester Protestant
Parishioners Committee, the following resolutions were
unanimously passed :—This committee, in demanding the
abolition of Ritualistic practice*, in places of worship
belonging to the Reformed Church of England, base their
request* upon the following reasons :- -1. Because Ritual-
istic dresses and ceremonies are most dangerous, having ,
• sure tendency to Romanism and thereby producing gross
superstition in the land. 2. Because considerable numbers ,
of persons have been led by Ritualism to Imre the Church
of England for that of the apostate Church of Rouse. 3. I
Because no advantage to either Church or Nation is de-
derived from the superstitious doctrines, vestments, and
and ceremonies of Ritualism. 4. Because the Ritualistic
imivoationa have produced most bitter heartburning*,
disturbances, and offences to large numbers of godly,
r=sMy disposed, and loyal members of the Church, ,
by driving the same into dissenting communities, at
the same time tilling some of the churches with sightseers
lamed of devout worshippers. 5. Because Ritualism is
a serious drawback to the spiritual vitality and usefulness
of the true Protestant Church of this land. 6. Because
the revenues of this Church are en iously imperilled by
Ritualism, and the real influence of the clergy destroyed
by Ritualistic doctrine, and novelties. 7. Bemuse the
Tait progress of the empire during the last 306 years
justified the policy of the Reformers in sweeping out of
the Church the damnable doctrines and ceremonies
practised at the time of the Reformation. 6. Because
the entire freedom enjoyed by the English laity and clergy
from the continual revolutions and bloodshed in foreign
lands affords • powerful argument for the continuance of
Protestant truth and doctrine in our own beloved
country. 9. Because there is nothing in Ritualism which
can poomibly satisfy the spiritual and intellectual
demands of a God-fearing people, all such pi notices being
vain, useless, cumbersome, expensive, and unscriptural.
10. Bemuse Ritualistic doctrines are entirely repugnant
to God's Word, and ought therefore to be excluded from •
Church professing to teach Holy Scriptures as necessary
to salvation.
