nature from any hitherto offered at Wiailbledon, and
requires considerable exertion as well as Skill on the
part of the competitor. The process is .as follows :
Having fired at the target, he retires an runs round
the post 50 yards off, carrying with him rifle, ammu-
nition, rod, and everything he makes us of in firing,
loading when he likes, but not capping till he arrives
at the firing point, from which, as soa n as he has
delivered his next shot, he sets off again in a similar
manner. Five minnutes are allowed for single
barrels, only four for double-barrelled :rifles, but in
either case the gun must be loaded fron the muzzle
with a powder flask, and the object of the compe-
tition is to make as many marks as possible in the
time, which is counted from the first shot.
It would naturally be supposed that the conse-
quences of all this running must be to render the
shooting very wild. The Earl of Aberdeen, how-
ever, in the course of his four minutes, ran 500
yards, fired 11 shots, and made 42 marks, or within
two of the utmost maximum attainable from the
same number of shots fired without changing posi-
tion or any pressure in point of time. The range
at which the accident happened to markers on the
previous day was reopened yesterday, Captain Drake
having devised a system of falling boards or flaps,
which open to allow the disc to pass, but close as
soon as this is withdrawn, thereby stopping up the
apertures through which the splashes succeeded in
making their way. No new accidents we* re-
ported yesterday ; but towards evening a police-
constable,who had been stationed at one of the out-
posts, was found to be suffering from the effects of
the exposure to the weather, and was taken to the
hospital.

MARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day, were very moderate. The trade for all qualities
ruled inactive, and prices had a downward tendency ; but,
as compared with Monday, no quotable change took place.
Selected wheats, indeed, wore tolerably firm in value.
A moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands.
The business transacted was somewhat restricted, yet
Monday's currency was supported.
Floating cargoes of graiu were in fair average request,
at about previous rates.
There was a fair supply of barley on offer. The trade
was dull, and prices had a drooping tendency.
A fair business was transacted in malt at late prices.

A large supply of oats was on offer. The demand for
most qualities was tolerably active at a decline of Gd per
qr. from Monday.
Beans and peas ruled firm at fully late rates.

The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have not
been very extensive. At the public sales of Indian
teas prices were about 2d. to 3d. per lb. lower.
Sugars, however, have maintained former rates,
while there has been a fair inquiry for rice at steady
prices. Tallow, however, has continued inactive
without much variation in value.
A BOON TO SMOKERS. —Various have been the
ideas and ingenious the contrivances to arrive at a
very simple result, viz., the nipping off the end of the
cigar. All, however, have been found either too expen-
sive or useless, and the old plan, the penknife, or the more
primitive means, the teeth, has been for some time the
universal practice. But Mr. Butcher, of the Lyceum Por-
tico, has at last discovered the very thing that was wanted,
and he has accordingly patented a " cigar nipper," both
certain and simple in its operation, which, while it serves
the very useful purpose of a ring for keys, can be made so
ornamental that it may bo worn as a charm. That the
nipper may become universally used, the price has been
fixed so ridiculously low that he who can afford even two
pence for a cigar will not find himself ruined by investing
another penny in a cigar nipper.
