In the midst of the excitement of the Bill and
its rejection, mat- ters are passed over which, at other times, are the subjects of days and weeks of anticipation and argument. The revenue tables, published on the 11th, seem to have fallen still-born on the press ; though the results are quite as interesting as the same document has, on former occasions, exhibited. Compared with the year ending 10th October 1830, there is, on the year ending 10th October 1831, a falling off in the Customs of 848,055/. ; Excise, 2,037,056/.; Stamps, 93,6011.; Taxes, 23,3401.; Miscel. lanies, 114,1541. The Post-office alone shows an increase of
44,003/. The decrease of the Excise is sufficiently accounted for by the repeal of the Beer and other taxes ; the Customs, similarly, have suffered from the Coal-tax.
