THE HARVEST.—The weather continued fine and
OLT up to Tuesday in the eastern district. Harvest has

seriously on all the Essex soils, but especially upon the
light and gravelly lands; much of the late sown barley is
expected to prove a failure, and considerable portions of
the wheat will present but poor samples. The hay crop,
which is a short one, has been secured. Peas promise to be
a pretty good crop.

cessor, and two gentlemen presented themselves for the
honour—the Rev. Edward Garbett, ALA., incumbent of
Christchurch, Surbiton, and. the Rev. Robert Gregory;
M.A., incumbent of St. Mary-the-Less, Lambeth. The

gentleman. Mr. Gregory was educated at Christ Church,
