THE QUARTER'S REVENUE Another quarter's day hes passed, and the Revenue returns—A hich will be found in another part of cur impression—contliian to afford the most conclusive evidence of the satisfactory results of the fiscal policy entered into under the auspices of the late t-ir RonenT PEEL. It is true that policy has not been fully de veloped, that the country is still far from enjoying the blessings of free and unrestricted trade ; but every fact and circumstance combine to prove that we hart , been proceeding in the right direction, and to encourage us to increase our speed in order to arrive at the goal. Many important reductions have been made in imposts that materially affected the comforts and prosperity of the people, but there has been no corresponding loss to the Exchequer. The almost miraculous elasticity of our national resources is thus established, and likewise the accuracy of the asser tion, that in fiscal ntattero, as two and two will not always make four, so two deducted from four will leave a greater balance than two. Relief may thus be given to the subjeet, without any serious deficiency being thereby occasioned to the public purse. During thri past year the iniquitous tax on light and air was abolished, and although a house tax wax was substituted in its place, the latter was only estimated to produce one-third of the former i n n Est, so that under that head alone a loss of 1,200,C00/. might have been anticipated, and this in addition to the reductions of duty on coffee, sugar, timber, &c., wllich came into operation during the past year, and :fet the entire deficiency for the year amounts to only 437,399/., or little more than one fourth of the amount of actual loss under these heads. But this is not all. It must be borne in mind that the comparison is instituted with no ordinary p er i o d . The financial year ending the 10th October, 1851, obtained all the benefit of the increased consumption derived from the concourse of strangers drawn to gether by the varied attractions of the Crystal Palace, and the desire to witness the extraordinary competi tion of the world's industry. Without any diminu tion of our burdens, we might, have anticipated a more formidable deficiency than that above referred to ; but when we consider that practically there has been an augmentaticn rather than a deficiency, we have indeed cause to congratulate ourselves on the result. So much for the annual comparison, that for the quarter is even more surprising and gratifying.. There is actually an improvement of 2 8,9291.,a1theugh the corresponding period conbtituted the three months immediately preceding the 113 eloS. g of the Crystal Palace. L oo ki n g now to the separate items, we find that in the Customs thereis a d e fi c i ency on the year a n d quarter, OD the former of 84,7521., on the latter of 298,2641. I t is, howcver, unckr this head that the e ff ec ts produced by our numerous visitors last year wou ld be most perceptible. The reducti ons on sugar, coffee, and timber also carne into operati on , so that on the wbola we msy be well contented that it ha s been no worse. The only other item of the ordinary revenue, i n w hi c h t h ere i s a &crease for the year, is that of " Taxes ;" one v'h' y be remarked is less in temporary circurnatannE9. iluencelf 'arm nuy ,; .Le: by Oa that the tatlinz cif for the yen,. is 1,157 ; 2017. — for the quarter oaly 5,8101. We have, however, already o-xplained that it was estimated that the sub stitution of the hons 9 tax for the window tax would lead to a decrease in the receipts of 1,200,0001. There is, therefore, no reason for regret at this defi ciency. We now turn tc. the bright side of the picture. The Excise has always bee, considered as the best index of the comfort and prosperity of the working climes. When it proves more than ordinarily pro i dactive we may be well assured that there is content and happiness in the cottages and apartments of la bouring men—that those dependent on their daily toil for their daily bread are in the enjoyment of those humble luxuries which may almost be regarded in the light of necessaries, and which should ever be within the reach of every person able and willing to work. Under that head we find an improvement of 114,1851. on the year, and 163,9011. on the quarter. Under " Stamps," again, which in some degree affords an indication of commercial activity, there is an improvement of 133,9321. on the year, and of 96,8571. on the quarter. The " Property tax," as it is facetiously termed, where casual income is charged as heavily as accumulated and realised wealth, likewise exhibits auspicious prospects. The increase on the year is 53,658/., that on the quarter 45,4451. As this tax is:to the middle classes what the Excise is to the less wealthy—the index to their condition—this amelioration may be regarded with peculiar pleasure. Tbanki to the judicious management of ROWLAND }TILL, the " Post Office" exhibits en increase of 26,0001 on the year, and that although the extraor dinary correspondence occasioned by the Great Ex hibition swelled the receipts of 1851. There is a falling off on the quarter of 45,0001., which may rea sonably be ascribed to a desire to increase the postal facilities and expedite the communications throughout the entire kingdom. In " Crown Lands" there is an im provement on the year of 50,0001., while the quarter is exactly the same. The receipts for the last year amount in the whole to 220,0001. A few years since before Lord DUNCAN instituted his searching inquiries into the gross mismanagement of that important de partment, the average was not more than 100,000/, Muck more may, however, be accomplished. The zealous and indefatigable Member for Glasgow esti mates that under judicious control this department would produce a clear revenue of half a million of pounds sterling. When we consider the hosts of locusts battening on the public funds, and the stoppages in transitu before the money received in the department finds its way to the Exchequer, for perpetual pensions, annual stipends, parks, 6-c., amount to no less than 286,6461. 155., we may be thankful that so much has been rescued from the greedy herd. In " Miscellaneous" there is an improvement 01 130,237/. on the year, but a falling off of 10,6531. on the quarter. Under the head of Imprest and Other Moneys the decrease is on the year 49,4411., while the increase on the quarter is 13,6661. The Repayments of Advances shows greater punctuality on tila part of public debtors, the increase on the year being 345,9851, an improvement of more than 60 per cent. The increase on the quarter is 68,7871. It will thus be seen that our assertions as to the gratify ing character of the financial returns have been fully sustained, and that the greatest encouragement is afforded to more rapid progress in the eligible path on which we have entered. Another " Commissioner" has given us his repor on Ireland. We have had the report of a costly Go. vernment Commission ; we have had the letters of newspaper commissioners ; and even of able German Berichter also ; this year Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, Member of the British House of Commons and of the Society of Friends, has given us the results of his voluntary mission to the land of perplexity ;—the statesman's puzzle and the philanthropist's lamentation. Await ing the meeting of Parliament, Mr. DISRAELI shuts himself up in his country mansion, to study problems of finance ; my Lord of DERBY gives becoming per sonal attendance to her MAJESTY, and JOHN BRIGHT, M.P., spends his time in verifying for himself what he has heard and read of Ireland. Well, a better, an honester commissioner we could not have had. Half the public, or more, who are interested in Ireland, would have gladly chosen him. A man of his well known energy, business habits, im partiality, and powers bath of observation and of telling so well what he observes (and all these exercised to increased advantage, by the peculiar non-antagooiam of his sect to the con tending sects of the country), is just the man whose recort we should be glad to listen to. He might be able to tell us little new ; indeed, that were scarcely possible. He might be able to propound no addi- remedies which the factions in Ireland or in England would allow to be adopted. Yet we feel the more assured in believing what a witness so diverse from preceding cri2s tills us, and that the remedies he points tc, if o . zly by implication, are amongst the most likely to succeed. M. BRIGHT is entertained by a large and highly respectable meeting at Belfast, the emporium of Irish manufacturing industry; and, like all other Irish visitors, he can dwell in terms of the highest eulogy on the busy to 7C n itself; and the well cultivated dis trict en each side of it and, like all others, he sees Chet " the great bulk of Ireland is in a condition which offers a mournful contrast" to that of Belfast, the personal appearance of the inhabitants being al most unworthy of human beings, and their hovels, as in the time of the Devon Commission, " a scandal to find human beings living in." He finds throughout the country an almost total absence of any stimulus to industry, a monotonous squalid idleness. Yet Mr. BRIGHT has ample evidence that these ragged idlers are not willingly idle; he meets with men who rdurned from harvest in England, and walked home across Ireland, and who rejoiced in having earned from 4/. to 8/. each. He learned from Mr. DARGAN, the great Irish railway contractor, who systematically employed the men living in the districts where his works were situated, " that the people of Ireland want only the discipline of steady industry, and they will give as good a return in labour for the wages paid them as any people in the world." The experience of the Board or Works was the same, that "Irish workmen unable at first to earn more than 3d. or 4d. a day, at piece work, were soon able to earn two shillings a day or more. We have all wit nessed the industry of Irishmen in England —we may not have adequately realised to ourselves the fact that they can be as industrious at home, when the inducement is regular and adequate. But why then are such a people found in such a state ? Why are they clothed in rags and perishing on potatoes, when there is abundance of land to be cultivated, and an ample market for their produce close at hand ? Mr. BRIGHT answers, that, chiefly he seems to think, on account of repeated confiscations in times past, the land is not in the possession of the people. We understand him as meaning that it is deeply mort gaged; for the land of England is but little of it in the possession of the middle classes. Mr. BRIGHT, indeed, substantiates his view by the fact that so many of the estates through which ho passed were either in the Encumbered Estates Court or soon to be there. Mr. BRIGHT anticipates more good to Ireland from the appointment of this court than from any modern enactment, and certainly not without reason. The Bishop of OXFORD told the English landed magnates, in his speech on the corn-laws, that many of them had the name only of landlords, and ought to surrender their estates to their real proprietors ; and that he bad every where observed that the estates of the nominal landlords were half cultivated and unimproved. But in Ireland incumbrance is the rule, and a clear estate the exception. The larger part of the land is pos sessed, or farmed by those who have no sufficient in terest in its improvement, by landlords who care not to make a fence, hang a gate, build a house and farm ing premises, much less to attempt efficient drainage, or indeed any drainage at all. This must have been hitherto one main cause why Ireland allows us to bring over from the Mississippi the grain with which she could so largely supply us. ' Mr. BRIGHT appears W be not disinclined to sup- Port a T enant Ri g ht Bill, one which should give the outgoing tenant a claim for improvements. Now we must confess that it would be only in consideration of the pupil•state of Irish fa: ruing tit present, that we could stiPPort such a Bill. Possibly iOr such a state sornqhing artificial nay he needed, nod possibly such a Bill might be the proper remedy. We think, however, that such compensations are properly sub jects of argreoment between landlord and tenant only. The law ought of course to protect the agreement, ' but not to prescribe of what kind it shall be. Four teen or twenty-one year leases are the proper reme dies for tenant-right dem an d s. It appears to us easy to show that with short leases and legalised tenant right there must be endless disputes as to what im provements were really needed, and landlords might b e moss grievously annoyed. Real landlords) and I long leases will, as in the better di s tri c t s o f E ng l an d and Scotland, be quite sufficient. The larger portion of Mr. BRIGHT'S long speech was occupied with the ecclesiastical evils of the country. Here, cf course, he found a fertile field ; yet no one will deny that the member of the Society of Friends spoke in a tone of friendship of all the de nominations, especially the largest one, which all save Exeter-hall bigots must admire. " I have attended,' says he, " several congregations, some of the Estab lished Church, some of the Catholic Church, and I must say that the Catholic chapels, as far as I have seen them, are well filled, that the people are re markably attentive, that a devout and serious expression of countenance is to be seen among them, and judging from the conduct of the Irish— putting aside for a moment the question of the agra• rian outrages—l say that in all points of obedience to moral law, as far as I can observe, and as regards the absence of crime or immorality, they will bear com parison, at least, with any portion of the population of the United Kingdom." Intemperate bigots of sects which certainly approximate much more closely to Rome than that of the honest Quaker will do well to ponder whose spirit and language are most likely to conciliate the regard of the Catholics, indeed most likely to convert them to Protestantism. From his independent stand point, Mr. BRIGHT tells his audience plainly that he finds more religious bitterness in Ireland than he has been accustomed to meet elsewhere, and that the ec.• clesiastical endowments present every objectionable feature. First, that one church is a church vainly endeavoured to be imposed upon the people by con- quest, and most disproportionately endowed. The established minority enjoys an endowment of at least 500,0001. a-year, worth, if capitalised, 10,000,0001. sterling; the Presbyterians an annual grant of 40,000/., worth about 1,000,0001. sterling ; the Catho• lies 26,0001. a-year, worth about 600,0001. in round number. ! Yet the latter are an overwhelming majority compared even with both the other denominations. Then the absurdity of the arrangement ! 500,0001. a-year is given to uphold the Irish Church as " the bulwark of Pro testantism," and the agency " for converting Ireland to the Protestant faith ;" and 26,0001. a year to send forth 100 priests annually to reclaim them back again to Catholicism ! What with the conquering origin, and the disproportionate emoluments of the English Church in Ireland, it is not to be wondered at that Ireland should be the head-quarters of religious bit terness and strife. Mr. BRIGHT'S real opinion as to what ought to be done in this case is not the less weighty for his silence. Aware that on this point uncandid hearers might attribute his views as a legis lator to denominational bias, he leaves the facts to speak for themselves. Mr. BRIGHT'S testimony to the general consistency of the Irish Members ought to be very consolatory to Mr. HUM E. Mr. BRIGHT bad not found them quite so shifty a set as the Hon. Member for Montrose deems them. On Catholic questions, no doubt, the position of their Church has made seal for its inte rests a patriotism as well as a religious duty. But on all questions affecting the people, whether of Great Britain or Ireland, Mr. BRIGHT " had never found the Catholic and Liberal Members _of Ireland adverse to liberty and to progress. Upon the Reform Bill, Slave Emancipation, the Municipal Corporations Bill, and Free Trade, we always had a majority of the Irish representatives of Ireland upon our side ; and be, in my opinion, is an enemy to both countries who endeavours to make it appear that there are no ob jects which we and Irish Liberals can work in com mon." He is assured of their co-operation on Free trade questions ; assured that they will join the Ecglish Liberals on the Ballot ; he regards it, we are glad to see, as impossible that any Liberal Go vernment can come into office, or remain in office, unless prepared to bring forward a Bill for the esta blishment of the Ballot. The signs of the times assure us that Mr. BRIGHT is not far from the truth here. The sneers of those who have no better argu ment, and the selfishness of those who would retain tyrannical influence over their dependents, must yield to the stern necessity of official banishment or of concession. Mr. BRIGHT'S visit to Ireland will, we are persuaded, have one happy effect—an effect most appropriate to the respected sect to which he belongs. It will enable him to be a peacemaker speaking with authority. He will silence, by the testimony of personal knowledge, many a false witness against misrepresented Ireland. Ile will conciliate her Members, and dissuade the more excitable of them from crotchetty isolations by his sincere good will, even to their reprobated Church. The oratorical declaimers will lock very small under the pracival rebukes of Mr. BRIGHT'S straightfor ward, but often pungent, eloquence. On Irish clues 'ions, in future sessions of Parliament, the Hon. Member fur Manchester will be not only one of the most instructive, but one of the most useful men of the House. He will aid towards rendering such sub jects manageable at all. Is it not true that Poverty crawls the streets in its most abject forms, offering for sale the snowdrops and the first violets of spring ? Is it not sad that the most mournful should face you with sunken face and , hrivelled hands, with the most beautiful emblems of innocence ? In passing through the country, the hard lot and trials of the poorer classes may be seen to perfection. In the town it is with us ; we have grown so familiar to its face that we are quite inured, and elect guardians, and have commissions, to manage this sorrowful, sad goddess—Poverty. Still we ought to be right thankful that pauperism is most materially diminished under a happier state of things, and that meat and drink for bodily exist ence is placed more within the reach of the care worn, toiling thousands. But the population of Lon don alone is weekly increasing on an average four hundred over the number of deaths, and although trade and commerce is being more and more deve loped, yet our labour market, in consequence of this weekly increase, will become more than sufficiently supplied. An outlet must be found, and to us it seems that emigration of the poorer classes, on a noble, human-hearted foundation, is what is abso• lutely necessary ; not a system, as at present, of red tapery and highly-pjd aristocratic officials, but one of sympathy and manly assistance. It is matter for rejoicing and hope that a few noble, sincere men are labouring hard in this cause, on behalf of the hard working, struggling classes, and we trust ere long to see many more of our public men join i❑ a move ment which will tend to the ultimate happiness of thousands, and the prosperity of Old England and her colonial possessions. If our Poor-law Board, that sits in statistical state at Somerset House, endeavouring to manage and re gulate this Hydra, were at all alive to the deep inte rests of the nation, pauperism would almost entirely disappear. Let the several parishes in this metropolis pay down the cost of six months' or even a year's support of a pauper, and the human being whose energies are being wasted, whose character and manly indepen dence is being annihilated under a system injurious both to the poor themselves and the ratepayers, would gladly go to our colonies, where the labourer is at a premium, and where men may make even a compe tency. Our Government, instead of keeping up a vast pauper-hatching machine, under expensive ma nagement, should be made to turn its attention to the annihilation, not the regulation, of this social disease. We believe that more money is spent on aristocratic secretaries, commissions, &c., and more money is squandered on parochial dinners and squabbles, than would relieve the country of one of its greatest bur dens, and that burden b 3 made to be a blessing for future ages. thisT s ll ea E son C h .t a ß s t i t;t e E en T.— a j o h in e ted firs fo t r } C ,r a id b a i y net C next u , u t reo m f th r inst.

DEPARTURE OF THE EUROPA.—On Saturday after noon, at four o'clock, the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Ryrie, left Liverpool for New York direct, with upwards of eighty passengers, a fair cargo, and the usual mails for the - United States and British America.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Governimnt has received the following telegraphic dispatches:— " Bordeaux, 9th, Bh. 50m. A.M. " The review was very brilliant. A crowd eager to behold the Prince pressed on his passage and saluted him with the warmest acclamations. In the afternoon his Highness visited different manufacturing establish ments. The magnificence of the ball at the Grand Theatre exceeded all expectation. On his entrance, at every pause in a cantata composed in honour of him, and on his leaving his Highness was hailed with the loudest enthusiasm. The sojourn of the Prince at Bordeaux is an uninterrupted suite of ovations. One cry alone is heard—' Vive l'Empereur.'" " Twenty-five minutes to Seven P.M. " The weather has been dreadful since the morning. His Highness was obligrd to remain in the palace the whole morning, and did not go out until one o'clock to visit the great hospital of St. Andre. At half•past two the Prince proceeded to the building-yard of M. Armand, to be present at the launch of a merchant vessel, the Louis Napoleon, of 2.200 tons, built by M. Monter ship-owner, end deputy for the Gironde. The Car dlnal Archbishop gave his blessing to the ship, and she was lsunched with perfect success. The Prince returned to the palace at a quarter to four. In spite of constantly heavy rai❑ the crowd was immense, and the Prince along hi, passage was saluted with the cry of Vivo l'Empo reur !' Every face expressed satisfaction and joy." Prince JERO➢ME BONAPARTE, president of the Se nate, arrived at Bordeaux on the 6tb, from Paris. M. DE PERSIGNY, Minister of the Interior, has also ar rived there. General DE LAWCESTINE has published an order of the day, announcing that the National Guards of the Seine are to be called out to receive the PRINCE PRESIDENT, on his return to the capital. The Journal du Havre states that the Minister of the Oriental Itvpublic at Paris, is about to conclude a loan of thirty million francs with a company of French, English, and other capitalists. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles publishes a second list of pardons or commutations of punishments granted by the PRINCE PRESIDENT to thirty-two political prisoners belonging to the department of the Basses Alpes, who had been condemned by the mixed commissions. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Bishop of Clonfert, Bishop of Down and Connor, Bishop of Cloyne, and Bishop of Ross, left Paris on Thursday evening, for Ireland. They have expressed their complete satisfaction at the manner in which the Irish college at Paris it directed, and have left the direc tion of it in the hinds of the Rev. Mr. MILEY. The leading pagers copy, with very becoming ex pressions of satisfiction, an article from the Belgian Independance, protesting against the accusations of the French press ;bat the Belgian papers had ex pressed satisfactior at the plans of the Marseilles con spirators, and of the symptoms revealed of designs against the life of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, of which they encouraged tie renewal. The Independance de clares, that although objectionable sentiments had been expressed by one journal, the Nation, yet that to that one print h a d th ey b een con fi ne d— a f ac t which ought to hale been stated, and the whole re spectable journals of the country not confounded in a sweeping denunciation. M. HENRI DE BIOUCKERE had nearly settled the personnel of his Cabinet; but there was some fear lest he might, ow i ng t o th e s t ren gth of the Opposi tion, obliged to acvised the KING to dissolve the Chambers. It is rumoured that the object of the King of HA NOVER'S visit to the King of WURTEMBURG was for sake of effecting a renewal of friendly negotiations with Prussia on the subject of the Zollverein. The directors of the different railway companies in Paris assembled a few days since in order to ap • point the members of the Syndical Commission which, according to the terms of the decree for the establish ment of the railway rcund Paris, will be charged with the surveillance and working of that line. The five companies interested in this connecting line appointed, the following members :—MM. Hottinguer and Seilliere for the Paris and Lyons line ; MM. Roux and Blaigneres, for the Strasburg ; MM. de Richemond and Marc, for the Orleans and the Centre ; MM. de l'Espee and Blount for the Rouen ; and MM. Delebecque and Emile Pereire, for the Northern. M. de l'Espe e has been chosen President of the Syn clinal Commission. The Duguesclin line-of-battle ship, en flute, hqs arrived at Brest from Cayenne, after a passage of 30 days. She left the colony of Guayana, as well as the Penitentiary establishment, in a very satisfactory state. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles, of the sth, gives the following details of the infernal machine:— " This machine, which has been submitted to the exa mination of the most competent men, is not composed, as described by the Moniker, of 250 gun. barrels, and 4 blunderbuss-barrels, but of two tubes in thick sheet iron about 3 inches in diameter and about 11 inches in length. To these two barrels are attached 120 cases, made of thick cardboard, of the form and length of the Roman candles used in fireworks.

The demand for Wheat in the whole of the leading country markets, held on Saturday, was tolerably active' and, in some instances, prices advanced is per quarte r ; Fine Barley realised tha same amount of improveme o :' and the value of oth er ki n d s was well supported. Me*" Oats, Beans, and Flour were quite as dear, but have ooze" mended very little attention. Our letters from most of the Continental ports state', that all grain has mov e d off somewhat steadily, at, ful l quotations. In France, Flour has been offering 0 ° lower terms. The latest advices from the United State* bring no alteration in prices. The arrivals of English Grain up to our market lel week were on the in c r ease . F rom a b roa d we rece ived 32,428 quarters of Wheat, 2,230 Barley, 7,938 ()ate' 2,345 Beans, 278 Peas, 14 : 445 Linseed, 3,734 Rapeseed' 853 sundry Seeds, 1,984 cache a n d 13,552 b arre ls 0 ' Flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals 0f Wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were but mode' rate, and in very middling condition. By land carrisg ° the receipts were tolerably good, and some of the parch were of full averago weight. Notwithstanding that the: stands exhibited an increased supply the demand for Al' kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing, chiefly, to the small stocks held by the leading millers, ruled somewha t active at an advance in the prices of Monday last of 1 0 per quarter, and a good clearance was effJeted. There was more doing for forward delivery at tbe above amount of improvement. Th e growers i n gene ral were not anxious sellers, although they hold heavy stock°. Notwithstanding that the quantity of foreign Whea t was somewhat extensive, that grain was in improved re quest, and selected samples of white were held for mOO/ money. Low and inferior parcels were unaltered. Floating cargoes of Wheat off Falmouth were in ino derate inquiry, at full prices. The arrivals from tbe . Black Sea have increased. We had a small supply of both English and foreign Barley. All kinds commanded a ready sale, at the eV treme rates of last week. No change took place in the value of Malt, which• however, was freely Supported. Scarcely any English Oats were brought forward► and the supply of foreign was small. The trade ruled steady, and the late improvement in prices was fully' supported. The inquiry for Beans was firm, at late rates. White Peas were scarce, and Is per quarter dearer; but grey and maple were is lower. A good business was doing in Flour, at extreme cur rencies. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The ar" rivals of Beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, and we observed a aligbt improve ment in their condition; nevertheless, it was isy no means prime. The attendance of both town and country buyers being large, the demand for all breeds of Beasts ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday last. A few prime Scots realized 4s, but the general top figure for Beef was 38 10d per Bibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and N orthamptonshire, we received, 2,600 short-horns ; f rom other parts of England, 450 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 20 horned and polled Scots.
