Capital 63,000!., in Shares of 1/. Is. each. Offices of the Company, No. 41, Moorgate-street. For some years before the late mischievous movement against railway interests on the part of the " Times " newspaper, it had been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part of Its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way against their interests. But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to such a journal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the " Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ; the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum. This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed the character of a General :Morning Newspaper, and the skill and talent which have been disalayed in supporting that character—a power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the " Iron Times " the lelding journal of the age. Founded on the basis of the Iron Times "as a Railway News paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good fortune of any journal to attain. To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary— circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of them singly—have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them. Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times," and infusing into it thht amount of immediately-available capital, which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con cerned. _ _ _ Asa commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of the Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &e., have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at least twenty-live per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested. _ _ , ........_. To carriinto effect the objects of the premoters of Company, it is intended to create a capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares of 11. is. each—the whole,te be paid up. None of these shares will be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per fected in the course of a few days. By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first instance, at par ; after which there will be a further issue of a similar number at 1/. prem. per share ; the remainder at such periods and at such prices as the Committee of Management shall de termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property of the Company shall demand. The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share holders—for a pre-emption In favour of original subscribers, for sub sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been matured; and the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel. Application for shares, and all commuiications respecting the un dertaking, are to be addressed to H. Edwards, the Secretary, at the office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London.

SOUTH-EASTERN AND NORTH KENT. On Monday a meeting of the rate-payers of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, was held in the church upon pario.,-44044p,_Alttp .ttesuNect as to whether the parish; through their surveyor, shodld assent, dissent, or . remain neutral, relative to the proposed lines, was brought forward. Mr. Churchwarden iIOoLE took the chair. M '. ANDERSON, the surveyor, said, that Si the subject was one of the greatest importance to the parish, taking, as the two lines would, so great a portion of it, he f e lt bound to take the opinion of the inhabitants. He had seen a great number of the inhabitants whose property would be affected by the proposed extension of the South Eastern line ; and they were unanimousty opposed to it. What did the Company propose ? why to carry an arch across from the present terminus to the other side, which would have the effect of driving all the respectable in habitants from that part of the parish. With regard to the other lines, it was alleged that the objections would he got rid of—but at what expense ? why, by carrying a viaduct in an oblique direction from Layton-buildings to Red Cross-street ; the arch or viaduct was to be 29 feet high, but from its position the inhabitants would have but a dead wall to look at. Trade was already bad in the High-street, and the proposed plan would com pletely ruin it. Mr. PICRFORD, of the Old Kent-road, said that he had considerable prcperty in the Borough, and as long as it was in his power he should offer every opposition to the North Kent line ; for he was fully satisfied that where ever a railway came it depreciated property. Mr. HOWARD thought that the best course to adopt wr uld be to appoint a committee to oppose the intended extensions, and to report as occasion required. Mr. MARTIN, of the Old Kent-road, said he had been for a considerable length of time a member of a commit tee appointed to oppose the further extension of the South-Eastern. It was said that when the terminus came to the Bricklayer's Arms, that it would increase the trade, but the reverse was the case ; as far as the inhabitants were locally concerned, they were deter mined to oppose the measure. Mr. KNIGHTON said he had heard a great deal said against the extension of railways, but no one spoke in favour of them. Now he considered they were of the utmost advantage to the public. They created trade.— (Cries of " No, no.") Was any person present who was prepared to say that, wherever there was a terminus, that trade did not exist?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") He was certain they were a benefit, and that they would beautify the parish.—(" Oh, oh.") It was agreed to, with but one dissentient, that the surveyor, on the part of the parish, should return to the application a dissent. BIRMINGHAM LINES. BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY NIGHT.—A meeting of the street commissioners was held this morning at the Pub lic office, Moor-street, for the purpose of receiving a re port from the Paving and Parliamentary Committee, respecting the plans and sections laid before them of railways proposed to enter the town, and for which ap plication will be made during the ensuing session. There were upwards of seventy commissioners present, and a report was read, of which the following is the sub stance : The Paving and Parliamentary Committee reported that, having directed their attention to the several notices given of ietended applications to Parliament in the ensuing session, as far as such projects appeared likely to affect the interests of the town of Birmingham, they found that at the commencement of the Parlia mentary campaign, on the 30th of November, being the last day for delivering plans and sections at the Board of Trade, and to the clerks of the peace, the following schemes were before the public, and likely to require their attention. On the Ist of December, therefore. their solicitor applied to most of the solicitors concerned for copies of the plans, sections, and books of reference, and since that period similar applications had been made to most of the other parties. 1. Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley. 2. Birmingham and Worcester. 3. London and Birmingham (Extension at Birming ham). 4. Birmingham and Oxford. 5. Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley. 6. Direct Birmingham and Leicester. 7. Welsh Midland, Kidderminster and Birmingham. 8. The Birmingham, West Bromwich, Wednesbury, and Walsall Junction. 9. Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction (Trent Valley Continuation). 10. Birmingham, Lichfield, and Manchester. 11. Birmingham and Manchester Direct. 12. Shrewsbury and Birmingham. Of the above list the Committee stated that the fol. lowing had either been abandoned, or might be with drawn in consequence of changes in the views of their projectors, or found not to enter the parish of Bir mingham:- 2. The Birmingham and Worcester withdrawn for the present session. 6. Direct Birmingham and Leicester does not enter the parish. 7. Welsh Midland, Kidderminster, and Birmingham. This line is rbandoned between Kidderminster and Birmingham, and will be taken up for that distance by the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour valley Company. 8 The Birmingham, West Bromwich, Wednesbury, and Walsall Junction, abandoned for this session. 9. Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead (Trent Valley Continuation) will not approach Birmingdam nearer than Wolverhampton. Birmingham, Lichfield, and Manchester will not enter the parish, but will join the Grand Junction in the parish of Aston. The promoters of the remaining seven of the original list seemed disposed to prosecute their several applica • tions to Parliament, which would require the utmost at tention on the part of the town, and in several cases the most strenuous opposition, unless the proposed measures be very materially modified. The Committee recommended that every Bill should, be strenuously opposed, unless the following require ments be complied with, namely :- 1. Where it is intended to stop up any street or road in the parish, an ample equivalent be provided by the formation of other streets or roads equally convenient to the public in general. 2. Where it is proposed to cross any street on the level thereof. 3. Where it is proposed to cross any street or road by viaduct or bridge, the height and span of the arch be of sufficient dimension to permit at least as free a pas sage for the public in carriages and on foot as that new enjoyed, and that no piers, abutments, or other encroach.. ments be permitted on the carriage or foot roads. 4. 'Where it is intended to pass under any street or road, and a bridge for such street or road b e f ormed over the railway, each side of such bridge for such street or road to be formed over the railway shall be effectually built up to the height of fifteen feet at least in every situation where the Commissioners shall deem advisable, so as to prevent the railway or the engines or carriages passing thereon from being seen from such street or road. The same rule to apply to viaducts carrying the railway over any street, which shall likewise be provided with parapets of the same height at least, or more, if needful. 5. Where the works of, or connected with, the pro posed railway shall in any way interfere with the public drains, sewers, or public water-course s of the town, proper provision be made for the prompt restoring of such sewers, drains, or water - courses, or providing in lieu thereof others to the satisfaction of th e Commis sioners ; and in ease such railway works are likely, in the opinion of the Commissioners, to prevent or inter fere with the future effectual drainage of the town, pro-. vision be made that the railway projectors shall meet such event in the manner required by the Commis sioners. 6. Where it is proposed to stop any street, with a view to the conversion of the site thereof into a station, provision be made for a road under such station in the line of that proposed to be stopped up, or in such other direction as the Commissioners shall approve, of suffi cient height and width, and to be well lighted at the expense of the railway company, so as to afford ample accommodation for passengers along the same. 7 Where it is proposed to make a station, provision be made by the proposed c o mpany for p roper approaches thereto, and especially for widening the st reets an d ot h er avenues in the immediate neighb)urhood thereof, suffi ciently to meet the increased traffic. 8. Where any part of the town is prop ose d to b e in tersected by a tunnel or deep cutting, sui c i ent provision be made to prevent the inhabitants being deprived of th , ir natural supply of water. 9. That in order to prevent the inconvenience to which the public must necessarily be subject during the pro gress of the works of any railway, an engagement, with penalties be required with the company for the com pletion of the works within a limited period to be agreed upon. The Committee then proceeded to report upon each separate project as far as they had been able to aster tain the designs of the different companies with relation Birmingham. At the suggestion of the Mayor, Mr. Henry Smith, the following was substituted for the first condition:— " Where it is intended to stop up any street or road in the parish, an ample equivalent shall be made by the company," it being thought impossible for them to pro vide a street or road which would be " equally conve nient to the public in general " as the original one. The report was received and unanimously approved of, after which the meeting broke up. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JAN. 5.

COMPENSATION TO THE LAND LORDS. (From the Sentinel.) Speculative politicians are hazarding all sorts of con jectures as to the course Sir Robert Peel will pursue on the opening of Parliament. None hesitate to affirm that he will attempt some modification of the 614*g-scale, if not a total repeal of the corn-laws ; btit whether that repeal will be immediate or deferred, unconditional or conditional, has led to a great diversity of opinion. We will not add to the list of unprofitable " guessing ;" nor do we believe that anything authentic will transpire till the Legislature is assembled. But whatever mystery may involve the intentions of the Minister, the demands of the landowners are clear enough ; if they cannot re tain their monopoly, they will insist on compensation for its surrender. The indemnity of twenty millions paid to the West India proprietors for the manumission of their slaves, is a precedent on which they rely. The subject deserves some comments. The agriculturists have contended that special bur thens are imposed on land, that is to say, burthens that do not fall on any other description of property. This has been denied, and repeated challenges have been given i❑ Parliament to adduce evidence in support of the allegation ; those challenges have been uniformly declined ; nay more, when the Liberals have brought forward specific motionF, to appoint a Committee to in vestigate the nature and extent of the special burthens, the agriculturists themselves, shrinking from the proof of their own assertions, have voted against all inquiry; from which the fair inference is, that they knew well that they had put forth an untruth. This, however, is certain, that agriculture is exempted from very many imposts to which all other property is liable, such as insurance on stock against fire, legacy and probate duty, &c. Again : the landlords have always contended, that the corn-laws were not imposed for their benefit, but for the benefit of the tenant•farmers. Be it so ; then, if a moneyed compensation were voted for the repeal of the corn. laws, it ought to be handed over to the tenant farmers. The general subject, however, must be looked at under comprehensive views. The time is passed when the common sense of the people can be juggled by sophisms. Every fallacy of the landlords has been laid barc. ; the game of deception can no longer be played. The aris tocracy should learn, that " honesty is the best policy :" and now that they can no longer find shelter in fraud, let them place their faith in truth. Their ideas of " pro tection" are as base as they are ignorant ; they are base, because they seek to be protected at the expense of their fellow citizens ; they are ignorant, beca'ise no selfish legislation can endure longer than the selfishness remains undetected. The prime error of the landlords consists in a false view of their real position, which has made them seek relief in remedies totally inadequate to their exigencies. They may yet be saved from all the dangers that menace them, and that, too, with honour ; but they will not be rescued by half-measures or class legislation. They must make common cause with all the producing classes, form an alliance with them, and work out such a reform as will effectively secure both the interests of property and labour. What is the heavy drag on industry? Obviously tax - ation. Its leaden weight presses on all of us. It has pressed on other nations, and was the real, however re mote or disguised, cause of the French Revolution. What does high taxation imperiously demand ? what does it render absolutely just ? Clearly high prices. As we desire to avoid vague expressions, we must observe, that when we use the epithet " high" as applied to prices, we specifically mean just such an addition to the natural or wholly untaxed value of commodities as will be equal to, and express the amount of, taxation levied on commodi ties. If the tax on a commodity be five per cent., five per cent. must be added to its natural value ; if fifty per cent., then fifty per cent. must be added to the natural value. This is the just, the legitimate protection that the Legislature owes to every class of producers. to the agriculturists as well as to the manufacturer. Now, how is this to be effected? for this is the problem to be solved. Let us hear Sir James Graham ; we quote from his pamphlet on " Corn and Currency :" " So far from urging the Government to bring sepa rately under the view of the Legislature the questions of Currency and Corn, it was the decided interest of the landowners to have insisted on a careful revision of both these subjects conjointly. Th e y are i n th emse l ves inti mately blended ; it is absurd to talk of price without re ference to money; and it is impossible to alter the quan tity of money without affecting prices. Disjointed discussion on these two vital points is the precise cause of the dangerous conclusions now sanctioned by Parlia ment, which threatens with ruin and degradation the whole class of existing proprietors." Be it noted that we have not cited the opinion of a Leaguer or free-trader; it is the Conservative Sir James Graham who speaks, himself a large landed proprietor, a gentleman of undoubted talents and matured expe rience. We have said, that high taxes require high prices, and Sir James Graham tells us " it is absurd to talk of price without reference to money." Now, if we have a de scription of money, purposely designed to keep . prices low, it is clear that the real protection of which we stand in need, is protection against that species of money. Our standard of money is gold and the sove reign contains just such a number of grains as comports with the natural or untaxed value of gold, and expresses ept from th e l aws i it. But this sovereign is the measure of all taxed com modities ; they therefore must necessarily conform t o that measure. Now this gold is xem of supply and demand ; its value is not allowed to r i se when it is scarce, nor to fall when . i its plentiful, whil e all other commodities, of which it the me asure, are subject to these conditions. All equivalency,therefore, between the measure and the things me asure d i s de stroyed. The consevence of this arrangement is, that the producer of taxed commodities can never add the tax to his selling price, for there is no money in this country in which such tax can be expressed, since gold, the standard measure, is not pumittel by the Legislature to express taxation, but no more than natural or untaxed value. Hence low prices must b e permanent and universal,—low corn, low ca lico, low cotton, low profits, low wages. Here is the national enemy —the enemy of all industry ; it is against that enemy, not against the foreigner, that we need protection ; and until the producing classes see this great truth, they will remain, as they now are, the doomed, blind, slaves of capital, of bankers, usurers, loan-mongers, and money-jobbers—the oligarchy of Mammon. Do the landlords, then, seek compensation ! Do they desiderata such high prices 03 will enable thorn to pay high taxes and their mortgages ? The reraedy is in their own hands. It is a physical and fiscal impossi bility for them to realise high prices in a currency studi ously designed to keep prices low ; therefore, they must change the currency, and adapt it to the exigencies of existing taxation. They have been experimenting, scheming, and devising for the last thirty years—ever haunted by their "special burthens," proceeding from blunder to blunder, from equivocation to equivocation, from compromise to compromise. Surely it is time to cease this miserable tinkering: they ought to be heartily sick of the knaves, fools, and quacks whom they have landed as "statesmen," and who have failed to make the working classes self-sustaining, and could find nn better means of preventing the paupers, offspring of their own kid government, from devouring landed estates, than in carcerating them in union workhouses.

Andrew Bell, engraver, Edinburgh, Jan. 12 and Feb. 2, at two, at Ferguson's Tavern, Edinburgh. THE QUARTER'S RE VENUE. CHRONICLE.—The official tables of the revenue, for the year and quarter ending on the sth of January, are given in another part of our paper. On the whole, they are calculated to abate the fears which the serious diminution exhibited in the previous quarter's tables excited in the public mind. But they do much more than this. The rally in the accounts for the quarter, notwithstanding the serious depression of commerce and trade during the last three months, is a significant com mentary on the merits of that system of financial reduc tion which we hope will he extended next session to every article, the great as well as the small, in our tariff: Sir Robert Peel, in his financial statement of the 14th of February last, anticipated a loss of 3,356,000/ from the reductions he then proposed: The actual decrease on the year just ended is 635,550/, the loss of 2,273,466!. on the Customs being compensated by increase in other items, the Excise, the Stamps, and the " Miscellaneous," which, of course, comprises the last receipt of China money. The increase in the Excise, both on the year, and especially on the quarter, is remarkable; the increase in the Stamps indicates a business activity, part of which may be traced to railroad speculation ; but the steady progress in the Post-office revenue is, perhape, the most gratifying feature of the whole. It is surprising that the Property -tax should exhibit a decrease both on the year and on the quarter. Increased profits and re newed assessments ought, one would think, to have increased, rather than diminished this source of income. Whatever may be the cause, the ardent advocates of direct taxation may well ask whether or not it is more applicable to a complicated state of society, i❑ which income fluctuates every day and every hour, than a judiciously-devised system of fiscal duties, levied for revenue purposes. The decrease on the Property -tax is, for the year, 165,0261., and for the quarter, 100,556/. The result is, that on the year just ended, as compared with the previous one, there is a decrease on the Cus toms of 2,273,446/, but an increase on the Excise of 17,0011., on the Stamps of no less than 540,7244 and on the Taxes of 7,354/. On the Property-tax there is a decrease of 165,0261., but on the Post-office an increase of 56,000/. The Crown Lands have been dimi nished by 35,000/., but the item of Miscellaneous is in creased by 569,611/. On the entire items there is a de crease on the year of 633,550/. HERALD.—The revenue returns for the year ended yesterday are in the highest degree satisfactory, exhibit ing a steadily progressive prosperity in the finances of the country, and, by a necessary consequence, in its in dustry. The net rev,-nue for the year just terminated amounts to 50,601,988/. The net revenue for the year ending Jan. 5., 1845, amounted to 51,235,538/. There has therefore been a decrease of 633,5501. This decrease is, however, to be accounted in a manner the most en-. couraging—namely, the reduction of taxation, viz. : Customs reduction in Sugar duties Coal . llB,OOO Sundries Cotton Wool £2,418,000 Excise, Auction duties Glass £250,000 640,000 £890,000 --- Customs and Excise £3,308,000 Jere then we have a reduction of three millions thr ee: hundred thousand pounds of taxes, and a decrease of six hundred and thirty-three thousand pounds of reve nue—equivalent, as every one must see, to an actual in crease of the difference—namely, two millions six hun dred and fifty-three thousand pounds. Thi: surely is prosperity. And if we look more closely into the items of revenue we shall find new reason to he satisfied that this prosperity rests upon a firm foundation. The great amount of decrease is necessarily under the head of Customs ; under which, as we have seen, there has been a reduction of 2,418,0001. ; and even under this. head the decrease falls considerably short of the reduc tion—though, as mu s t b e a pp arent w h ere so much re v, nue has been given tip, absolutely and totally, as it has been given up in the case of cotton wool, coals, and sundries, there can be no compensation from increased consumption. In the Excise, notwithstanding the sacrifice of the auction and glass duties to the extent of nearly 200,000/, there is an actual increase upon the year to the amount of 17,000/. ; while on the Stamps, the index to an active commerce, as the Excise is to the ease and comfort of the mass of the people, the increase upon the year greatly exceeds half a million. Upon the Post office, too, there is a considerable increase. Is not all this proof of prosperity ? Is not this an argument against hazardous changes ? What better than this is wanted ? Cannot men content themselves "to let well alone ?" There is one item, however, in the returns upon which we must offer a remark. In the Property tax there is a decrease of 165,0001., 100,0001. of it in the last quarter. How is this to be accounted for ? The millowners have again and again boasted that they have doubled their capital within the last year, and yet the aggregate property and income of the country have de clined, though in a trifling degree. Now from these two facts we must draw one of three conclusions :—First— the millowners are a small and unimportant class ; or, second—their prosperity has been accompanied by a proportionate deterioration in the property of others ; or, third—the millowners have made false returns. We leave it to Messrs. Cobden and Bright to choose among these conclusions. TIMES.—The revenue table for the past year pre sents on the whole a satisfactory result. Although it shows a decrease of more than half a million on the year as compared with that ending the sth of January, 1845, the items of the deficiency will not be found on in spection to furnish any proof of a decline in the general prosperity. With the exception of 165,000/ in the Property-tax, and 35,000/ in the Crown lands, the whole decrease is in the Customs. This is easily accounted for by the recent revision of the tariff, and the greatly di minished scale of import duties. A sufficient interval bas not yet elapsed for the usual operation of an in creased importation in making up the deficiency which must, of course, immediately ensue upon so large a reduc tion of duties. But turning to the items of increase, we see unerring signs of a greater commercial activity, and an improvement in the condition of the people. In the Ex cise there is an increase of 17,0001 ; in Stamps, of 540,000/. ; in Taxes, of 7,000/. ; the Post-office . has added 56,0001. to its net revenue ; and under the head " Miscellaneous," there is an increase of 569,000! : ' Com paring the present quarter withtheceorrefind an corresponding one ending the sth of January, 1845, w instead of a decrease, of nearly 100,0001, the quarter's ctiungecoiunntethrebaltanxceeisde,bysatammoprse, portiopnrotpomtphioeosnata-notenffiucaeiln: Comparing it deficiency in the Customs, which preserves the due pro again with the llitahsaatxneTaxes, and quarter, wearestailseedabuysead dbeyfitchieenfaciylinogfaofirolfliothne, half of which, however, Customs. In the Excise there is again an increase of 100,000/., in the Stamps of nearly 200,000/, and in the Post office of up war d s of 40,0001. The general result of the three comparisons is, an increased consumption of ex cisable articles, which denotes an improved condition of the general population ; an active commerce ; and greater cheapness in the imported articles of food. In this state of the revenue Sir Robert Peel may face his Conservative Opposition without much fear. There being a surplus in everything which can be taken as an indication of the prosperity of the country, his proposal to repeal the corn-laws cannot consistently meet with opposition from the alarmists. Even if the fluctuating and uncertain duties derived under the present system front the importation of corn be deemed a legitimate source of revenue, this is not generally of sufficient magnitude to excite any reasonable apprehension front its abandonment. The finances of the country are too flourishing to suffer inconvenience from the abolition of a tax which may yield in one year a million, in another nothing. ADVERTISER.—We publish in another part of our paper an abstact of the quarter's revenue, ending yester day. Its results are of a most gratifying nature. They show the sound and healthy state in which the com merce of the country now is. It is true that, in some of the branches of the public receipts there is a slight de falcation, as compared with time corresponding quarter of 1844.5 ; but in the few instances in which a deficit occurs, it can be most satisfactorily accounted for. The greatest decrease is in the Customs, which amounts to 547,346/. The subject of surprise is, that the defalcation here should not have been of larger amount, for it is to be remembered that last session the duties on glass, auction duties, and all export duties, were Abolished, and consequently no further aid to the finances of the country is derived from any o f th ese sou rces. l great test of the true c onditi on o f the masses isdan the Excise, and under this we are gratified to fin increase of 107,897/., as compared with the closing . quarter of 1844-5. I n the Stamps department there is also an increa se o f 190,744/. on then ,m quarter, t Miscellaneous," land o t ie K the the augmentation , importantbranchce u an e o in s h e year of 540,724/. Another there is a large increase, is that . augmentation being 3 60 2811 . on the quarter, a n d 569,611/. on the year. Under the head of Post -office is growing prosperity which all the n there is likewise an a i a n i c n r d e i st a s l e ti o ve f elqouo.al3sl. 56/ 0 ., f and of th e ex t ens i on o f mental pursuits. The total result s g i ve a decrease on the ioregroaftioryuirn gratifying as year of 760,016/., but an increase on the quarter of 95,10e1. This result would have been gratifying , under a ny circumstances, but it is especially encouraging, as well as surprising, when it is remembered that so many taxes were entirely abolished last session. It demon strably proves that never were the commerce and the finances of the country established on more satisfactot y bases than they are at present. We cordially congratu late the country on this most cheering aspect of matters, and hope it will prove to be permanent.
