BosToN March 4, P. NJ.
The ROYAL Mail steamer Brittania arrived at
her moorings to-day, having sailed from Liver
pool on the 18th ult.
By this arrival we have the following i'm
portant intelligence.
Monetary affairs manifest an improving ten
dency. The only failure that has occurred
since those noticed in the last steamers advi-
ces, is Evans, Son & Co., who were largely en-
gagged in the iron trade.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, primate of
England, is dead.
The government of England has warned the
Austrian Government that any further interfe-
renee on their part, with the Pope of Rome,
and the affairs of Italy, will be considered as a
declaration of war.
Ireland still continues in distressing con-
dition. A large party in that unhappy coun-
try are favorable to the immediate declaration
of war against England.
Breadstuffs have steadily declined since the
sailing of the Hibernia.
The following showing the latest quotations
indicates further decline in -Four and Wheat
and in Indian Corn and Meal:
Best Western Canal 28s, New Orleans an(
Ohio 26s Cd; Canadian 27s Cd. Indian Corr
28s to 32s Cd per quarterCornmeal l2sal3s Cd
White Wheat Is Sd to IS Cd per 20 lbs; Re-
IS Sd to Is Sd per 70 lbs.
The cause of the decline in Breadstuff
throughout the kingdom is owing to the larg
home supply. Operations have been who'll
confined TO demands for immediate consumr
fI0n, and chiefly by retail trade, without tn
slightest disposition being manifested to ente
upon anything approachinga prospective IL
vestnaent or speculation. The resumption {
the sliding scale duties commenced on the /;
inst, and their prospective effect upon tn
market for Breadstuifs has already been in1G
enced.
Since the advices per the last steamer II
market for Cotton has manifested some impro'
ment, especially in the lower grades. Th
quotations are-for Orleans ordinary to miC

kingdom since the LIST of January have been s.
900 bales, against $4,000 bales during tt
same time last season, of which there was In
ported from the United States $4,000 bale

ing reduction of 1000 bales American
