BRITAIN.—The apprehensions which, some writers
entertain, that the business and power of the British
nation are on the decline, may he well founded for
what we know. Such fears have often occurred of
England, and in England ; but hitherto they have al-
ways been ill-founded ; there may be a time when they
may be realised. The ruin of England would almost
change the world. The greatest reach of thought
cannot embrace the consequences.—Neto England
Palladium.
MuRDER..---011 Saturday night, or early on Sun-
day morning, a man of the name of Robert Long, a
native of Swords, but latterly living at Feltman, near
Malabide, murdered his wife I It is supposed he beat
her on the head with the barrel of a gun. He is a
bricklayer by trade, and has three children, the eldest
only 10 years old. He has absconded.----Dublin

MEUM, TUUM, RT SUUM, OR EVERY MAN
Iris owN.--The Archbishop of Tuam embarked at
Liverpool for Dublin, last week, in the St. George
steam packet. It is rumoured, but we do not pledge
ourselves to the fact, that there was on board the same
vessel a poor ragged Irishman, who, like malty of his
countrymen, had a smattering of Latin, which he
turned to rather knavish' account, by penning the fol-
lowing significant doggerel, addressed to the Arch-
bishop. Whether the latter replied to Pat we have not
yet ascertained.

" If each man had Suum,
You would not have Timm I'
But I should get Meow,
And sing a Te Daum."
Capt. ROCK'S Secretary.
• It ought to have been Tuam, but that would not rhyme.

THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Cut Tod of Tuesday.)

IR

Comx.—The transactions in Coffee last week were on en ex-
tensive scale, the quantity of St. Domingo by private contract and
disposed of by public sale, was nearly 3,000 bags, chiefly at 50s. •
for the good ordinal* ; Brazil sold at 475. ; Jamaica Coffee was
steady at the 'late quotations ; the Demerara and Berbice Sold •
uncommonly high, good ordinary at 56s a 58s ; sine ordinary,
62s a 665. The two public sales this forenoon, consisting of
162 casks, and 233 bags Coffee, went off steadily ; there was not
the slightest variation in the prices.
SUGAR.—The great demand for Muscovades this week, and
the consequent advance of the prices, which we then noticed, 04""
casioned the buyers to pause; the market prices were, hovieverf
fully supported, but there was a great languor in the trade, and
the purchases did not average 1,000 hhds per day, as on the pre-
vious week, The Market to-day has been without briskness, but
800 bhds have been sold at very full prices; several holders are
asking an advance. The briskness in the Refined Market 'on
Tuesday last was not supported ; towards the close of the week
the request became languid,. purchases could he made on rather
lower terms. Brown Lumps were offered freely at 775; the whole-
sale Grocers evinced no disposition to purchase fur the home can- '
sumption ; Molasses selling at 279. By public sale last week
270 chests White Havannah Sugars were taken in. Good 441
fine white 391 a 425; dingy white Bengal 83s; damp 31s. The
Market this forenoon is very quiet, but not lower ; Lumps 771-
Molasses 275.

RUM, BR ANIIY, and ROLL ANDS. prices of Rum hare
lately advanced about 6d. per gallon, chiefly on account of the
failure of the Spring Corn in this country, and the, certainty of
English Spirit advancing ; the Stock is also about 9,000 casks.

Friday had been purchased at 2s. 3d. sold at 2a. 54. ; one parcel
of Leewards 3 over, sold also at 2s. 5d.; these were the ciely
transactions, though numberless dire about the advance we *re
stated were refused, and, as the trade have no stock adequate to
the contract, it was generally believed it would go off at a high
price ; previous to this advance, tine Jamaica. had sold at Ss, tid•
and for one pitied, fine, 3s. 9d. was offered end refiteed.
Brandy Market was also agitated by the answer from Govern went
to the petition praying that all Brandies old landed should be re'
paged,. and payment of the duty only to apply to the quantity by
the new guage, it was granted for Brandies bonded one year; but
an application by parties showing that some parcels would be
within the year next week, the following one, and so on, it was
understood the privilege would be granted on all Brandies now ill
the Docks ; the former answer was official, the latter is only an
understanding; but, from what passed, the particulars of which
are before us, there is little doubt on the subject. Old Brandies,
which were selling at 2s. 9d. a 2s. 101 sold at 2s. 11d. a 3s. ;
the others in proportion. Geneva was without any variation. At
