POSTSCRIPT.

SATURDAY.

The Revenue-tables for the year and quarter just ended are so far satis- factory that they present the critical branches of the revenue in a state of decidedly upward movement. There is a substantial increase in the Customs department-914,062l. on the year, and 570,5331. on the quarter. There is also a great increase on the year in the Excise—rather more than 1,100,0001., with a slight one, 6,000/., on the quarter. In the other branches of the ordinary revenue there is a general decrease; but it is slight, except in the instance of Stamps which shows a decrease on the year of 848,698/. Looking to the second table, the Consolidated Fund account, there appears to be a surplus revenue of 560,543/.
