The published accounts of the Revenue to the sth January,
exhibit a decrease on the year as compared with 1832, amounting to 44.2,4941.; on the quarter, of 91,5471. The falling-off is in the Customs, which have yielded less this year than the last by 612,894/. But then, the produce of the Excise has increased by 183,741/., and that of the Post-office by 63,000/. There is a decrease on the quarter in the Assessed Taxes, of 94,1'221.: thus demonstrating the incorrectness of those statements so confi- dently put forth in the Ministerial journals, that the op- position to the collection of the House and Window Taxes was trifling, and that in point of fact their arrears were less than usual, This affords a tolerably fair specimen of the value of semi- official assertions.
