Tea has suffer-d a great declension ; nearly one b

tobacco imported. Wines have come in freely, the quilti;

sheep and lambs' wool, of which 5,668,8081b5. were is

The exports of the country upon the whole are 00.,(1;
but not equal to last year. We turn to the food of 13,1;
and find that the exports of every article is on a dim

nishin.:. scale. Thus in 1846 we exported 12,989 clua'
ters of wneat, barley, oats, but in 1847 only 1,523 cir,„
-
i;
of flour. The exports in 1846 were 8,889 cwt. ; 0
1847, 3,331 cwt. Of rice, we export 25,504 cert. lt.
1846, and only 647 cwt. in 1847. The value of Briiii
and Irish produce exported in 1846 was 6,810,1594
sterling, and in 1847 6,524,217/. A difference easily re
gained.
In shipping 2.492 vessels of 505,579 tons entered
i 0
wards in 1846. against 2.744 Vessels of 584,468 tons 7
1847. Outwards, in 1846, there were 2,728 shiPe
548,447 tons, and in 1847, 2,442 ships of 553,561 volls'

The principal increase being in English and Am
vessels. There is also a great increase in the number
and tonnage of vessels engaged in the coasting trade.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. William Irwin, late sOr:
geon in the royal navy, met with an accident on Nicriclial„
last, which proved fatal. Mr. Irwin was obliged to keep
a gun constantly loaded in the house for some time back'
in consequence of having been attacked by robbers s°ll3e
months ago. The do ceased, who was an invalid for e
number of years, went as usual to sit at the kitchen fir°
after breakfast. The loaded gun was resting against thee
wall behind him, and the servant-boy, while in the sc;
of pulling down his coat, which was hanging up over
the gun, threw it down, and, falling suddeny, cock ull'
dermost, it struck against the lower rail of the chetr'
and an explosion was the result. The entire content?'
after passing through the bottom of the chair, lodged I°
the lower part of deceased's body. Medical assistance
was promptly procured, but, we regret to say, Mr. Irvirlur
