The Revenue-accounts for the year and quarter still wear the
satisfactory aspect which they have of late assumed : on the year, there is a cansiderable increase in the two chief items, Customs anti Excise ; and on the quarter, there is an increase in all items, with one immaterial exception. The details give a yet mere favourable view : on the year, the increase in the Customs is 658,3351.; Ex- cise, 474,6071.; Income-tax, 2,900,599/.; Post-office, 15,0004 Miscellaneous, 336,703!.: the decrease in the Stamps is 12499/: ; Taxes, 73,0641.: the net increase on the year is 4,318,1071. On the quarter, the increase in Customs is 384,910!.; Excise, 85,3161.; Stamps, 45,885/. • Taxes, 1,987!.; Income-tax, 107,627/. ; Post- office, 30,000!.: the decrease in Miscellaneous is 500,2644 - that item having previously been swelled by windfalls the net increase on the quarter is 325,0341. There has been a trifling decrease in the Post-office once since the very imperfect -change; and as so much was founded on that by hostile commentators, the recurrence of an increase on both year and quarter should have great weight with them. The Income-tax is still at its duty, producing 5,356,8871.; nearly a million and a half more than Sir ROBERT PEEL reckoned on ! An improved state of trade and of the circumstances of the pecple is clearly reflected in the Revenue-tables.
