The account of the Revenue, for the year and qnarter

ending on the 10th instant, exhibits a decrease of 1,084,0001. on the former, as compared with the previous year, but an increase on the latter of 334,0001. over the corresponding quarter of 1834. The reduction of Is. a gallon on Irish Spirits, and the repeal of the House-duty, have lessened the receipts of three quarters of this year, but only operated on one quarter's revenue of 1834; and this accounts for the decrease on the year : but it is satis- factory to perceive, that on comparing the two quarters ending the 10th of October 1834 and 1835, there has been so consider- able an improvement. The principal gain is on the Customs and Excise.
