COLONIAL.

TEL—There has :been very little business transacted,
and prices remain without any change of importance.
SUGAR.—OnIy a moderate decline has been experienced,
but prices rule steady. There have been few public sales,
and holders generally refrain from pushing business. In
the refined market the operations have also been on a
limited scale, without any material change in values.

COFFEE.—Thero has not been much inquiry, and, in
some instances, prices show a downward movement.
RICE.—Tho demand has been to a fair extent, and
chance descriptions have, in most instances, maintained
fully previous rates.

UAixow.—The market is more animated, and prices for
both present and forward delivery show an upward ten-
dency. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 42s 6d, and for last
three months delivery 40s 6d per cwt.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A COLLEGIATE VOLUNTEER.
—A lanientable accident occurred to a young. Scotch gen-
tleman, named George Alexander Stewart,- on Wednesday
afternoon, at Winchester. Deceased, who was being edu-
cated at the college, was a member of the cadet corps of
the Volunteer Rifles. Some of the college volunteers,
were at target practice at the rifle butts on Teg Down
on Wednesday, and towards the cleso of the firing
a young gentlemen named Sewell (also a member of
the corps) took a loaded rifle from the ground, and, not
having a cap upon the nipple, presumed it was unloaded.
Sowell placed a cap upon the rifle, pointed the weapon at
another parson's hand for the purpose of " sighting" it, is
supposed, or in some juvenile frolic, &fled the trigger, and
in an instant the fatal bullet had sped through the fingers
of the upraised hand and into the breast of poor Stewart.
He was promptly conveyed from the ground and medical
assistance procured, but all efforts were unavailing, and he
expired in a few hours.

ACCIDENT TO MR. LEVY THE CORNET PLAYER.
—We regret to state that shortly after this dis-
tinguished instrumentalist left the Prince of Wales Hotel
on his way for the Exhibition, the horse of the car on
which he was fell in Westmoreland-street, precipitating
Mr. Levy with great violence on the pavement. We are
able to add that the injury he sustained, though of a most
painful character, is not serious, but will have the effect of
preventing him appearing in public for some time.—Dublin

THE BANNS OF MARRIAGE.—The Venerable
Thomas Thorpe, 8.D., Archdeacon of Bristol,
created some consternation by a statement made in his
charge on the occasion of his visitation at Bristol on
Thursday last. The ven. archdeacon, after stating that he
had given noticein convocation of a motion for the pro-
duction of a copy of the original prayer book, said that he
had no hesitation in declaring that to publish the banns of
marriage after the second lesson, as was done in many
instances at present, was illegal, and every marriage that
took place after banns so published was void, and every
clergyman who had so published them was liable to 14
years' transportation. The propar time at which the banns
should be published was just before the offertory sen-
tences were read. He had no doubt, however, that an act
would be passed to indemnify all clergymen who had
erred in this respect, and to recognise the validity of the
marriages "which had been solemnised after' banns 'so
published.
