TEA.—The market has been very quiet, without any
material alteration in prices. Advices from China state
the exports for the season amount to 10,000,000 lbs.
SuGAn.—Thero has been a fair demand for West India
qualities, and full rates have been obtained for the better
descriptions.
COFFEE.—Superior qualities of Plantation Ceylon were
in fair request at late quotations; other descriptions, how-
ever, were a shade cheaper.
RICE.—The market remains inactive ; prices, however,
are firm for Fast India qualities.
Fitniz.—There has been a pressure of sales, and prices
of currents have given way to some extent. Valentia
raisins and Turkey figs were also at rather easier rates.
SALTPETRE.—The dealings have been limited, and prices
are unaltered.
TALLOW.—A very quiet market has been experienced.
P.Y.C. on the shot at 535; and spring delivery, 53s Gd to

FATAL ACCIDENT IN TESTING A RIFLE.—A
very painful accident occurred in the vicinity of Edinburgh
on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Henry, gunnialter, who enjoys
a high reputation in the shooting ground, and who was the
winner of one of the 20 Whitworth rifles at Wimbledon,
had gone out to a field near the Easter-road along with his
son, a fine boy of between 12 and 13, and a friend, for the
purpose of regulating the sights of a rifle. The lad was
usually employed by his father to point at the target, and
while his father fired he hid behind the shelter of a wall.
Unhappily, after Mr. Henry had fired several shots the lad
started up from a hollow part of the ground in front of the
target just as ho had again presented, and be the poor
death
father was aware his son was shot through the head,
being instantaneous. The well known surety of the father's
aim had evidently made the lad lees circumspect than he
ought to have been in the discharge of his dangerous duty.
The case has created a painful sensation in Edinburgh,
where Mr. Henry is much respected, and where he was
one of the earliest and most active promoters of the Volun-
teer movement in 14io own professional department,

THE LATE REIG7Y OF TERROR IN THE
TAPAI STATES,
The Opinione of the 21th publishes the following
despatches of General Lamoriciere. They are, it
says, a most significant justification of the resolu-
tion taken by the King's Government to occupy
Umbria and the Marches, and of the care it has
taken to insure a triumphant success.
" Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to the
delegate of Macerata.
" At Ilacerata, Sept. 5, 1660.
" Wheu the revolution shows the tip of its ear or nose, it
must be knocked on the head like a mad dog; if you do
not act in this way, it takes your urbanity for fear, and its
strength increases in proportion as its confidence in your
courage diminishes.
" If you must change your police-agents and get rid of a
few traitors who intimidate your population, mention it to
me, 1 will consider of it, and taking care to have the law
on our side we shall not shrink from the necessity of let-
ting blood. Do you know how they treat the Sicilians who
do not wish to be Piedmontese ? They shoot them with-
out trial. We will have the parties tried before shooting
them, but, if necessary, we shall use the strong hand.
" The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE."
" Telegraphic despatch from the General-in-Chief to Cap-
tain Count de Quatrebarbes, at Ancona.
" Sept. 7, ISGO.
" Tell Colonel Gady to arrest Pasquale Tomasini imme-
diately.
" As for the suspected publichouses, one single person
arrested there by the commanding-officer of the subdivision
Colonel de Gady, will be sufficient warrant for closing them.
" The Piceno, the journal of Ancona, is entirely under
your direction from and after Sunday morning.
"Captain Esera, who leaves here to-night, is the bearer
to you of a document, which I hope will calm the desires for
manifestations in future. If they make one to-morrow
evening after the procession, disperse them at the point of
the bayonet or with musketry fire, so as to take from them
the desire of doing it again.
" The General-in-Chief, DE LAMORICIERE."

de Gady, at Ancona.

" Send word immediately by a special messenger to Ca-
merano, that the auxiliary Gaetano Pisi, who used his arms
to suppross seditious cries, is promoted to be a sergeant,
placed at the order of the legion of the Marches, and is to
receive a reward of six crowns.
