Another quarter's day has passed, and the Revenue returns—which will be found in another part of our impression—continue to afford the most conclusive evidence of the satisfactory results of the fiscal policy entered into under the auspices of the late Sir ROBERT 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 have been proceeding in Ale 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 tehe people, hut 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 matters, 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 subject, wit hout an y serious deficiency being thereby occasioned to the public purse. During the 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 impost, so that under that head alone a loss of 1,200,0001. might have been anticipated, and this in addition to the reductions of duty o n coffee, sugar, t i m ber, &c., which came into operation during the past year, and yet the entire deficiency for the year amounts to only 437,3991., 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 period. The financial year ending the lOth October, 1861 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 ;night have anticipated a more formidable deficiency than that above referred to ; but when we consider that practically there has been an augmentation rather than a deficiency, we have indeed cause to congratulate ourselves on the result. So much for the annu a l compar i son , th a t for the quarter is even more surprisin g an d gra tifying. There is ac tually an improvement of 28,9291., although the corresponding the period cons tit ute d t h e t h ree mo nths immediately precedingclo s i ng of the Crystal Palace. Looking now to the separate items, we find that in the Customs there is a deficiency on the year and quarter, on the former of 84,752/., on the latter of 298,264/. It is, however, under this head that the effects produced by our numerous visitors last year wou ld be most perceptib l e. The red uctions on sug t e a a r r t , coffee, and amber also came into operation, so that on the whole we may be well contented, that it has been no worse. The only other item of the ordinary revenue, in which there is a decrease for the year, is that of " Taxes ;" one which it may be remarked is less in fluenced than any other by temporary circumstances. On that the falling off for the year is 1,157,2011. — for the quarter only 5,8101. We have, however, already explained that it was estimated that the sub skitntion of the hous3 tax for the window tax would lead to a decrease in the receipts of 1,200,000/. There is, therefore, no just reason for regret at this defi ciency. We now turn to the bright side of the picture. The Excise has always been considered as the best index of the comfort and prosperity of the working c 146 4"• When it proves more than ordinarily pro- ductive we may be well assured that there is content 1 111 W happiness in the cottages and apartments of la boliting 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 .114,185/. on the year, and 163,901/. 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 53,6581., 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. Thanks to the judicious management of ROWLAND HILL, the " Post Office" exhibits an 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 -1 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 proveraent 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/, Much 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 that the stoppages in transitu before the money received in the department finds its way to the Exchequer, fur perpetual pensions, annual stipends, parks, 6-e.) amount to no less than 286,646/. 155., we may be thankful that so much has been rescued from the greedy herd. In " Miscellaneous" there is an improvement of 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 49,441/.1 while the increase on the quarter is 13,6661. The Repayments of Aclvances shows greater punctuality on the 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 report on Ireland. We have had the report of a costly Go. vernment Commission; we have had the letters o: 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 both of observation and of telling so well what he observes (and all these exercised to increased advantage, by the peculiar non-antagonism of his sect to the con tending sects of the country), is just the man whose report 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 tional 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 ones tells us, and that the remedies he points to, if only by implication, are amongst the most likely to succeed. Mr. 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 town itself, and the well cultivated dis trict on each side of it; and, like all others, he sees that " the great bulk of Ireland is in a condition which offers a mournful contrast" to that of Belfast, th e 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 returned from harvest in England, and walked home across Ireland, and who rejoiced in having earned from 41. to Si. 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 of I ,Vorks 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 posaession of the people. We understand him as meaning that it i 3 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 he 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, estates to their real every where observed th p a r a nto proprietors rh o iee u tre g ousr h tsea t ,t; andtaon d s surrender re n cleard e re estate t h a e t i e r landlords were half cultivat e d and es of unimproved.t t h h e a t h e nominalßhaudt in Ireland incumbrance is the 1 the exception. The larger parto v f e n th o e s l u a ffi nd cie i n s tpos sessed, or farmed by those who ha in terest in its improvement, by landlords who care not to make a fence, haag 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 to be not disinclined to sup port a Tenant Right 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 farming at present, that we could support such a Bill. Possibly for such a state something artificial may be needed, and possibly such a Bill mi g ht b e however, thatthe proper remedy. We think , such compensations are properly sub jects of argreement 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 ye ar l dies for tenant-right de man d to show that with short lea s es right there must be endless Four eases are the proper rerae s- It appears to us easy disp a u n t d es leg as al t i o se w d hteanta ntim provements were really needed, and landlords might Real landlords and be most grieYously Annoyed. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY long leases will, as in the better districts of England and Scotland, be quite sufficient. . . . The larger portion of Mr. BRIGHT'S long speech was occupied with the ecclesiastical evils of the country. Here, of 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 audierce 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 40,0001., worth about 1,000,0001. sterling ; the Catho lics 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 ! 500,000/. 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 thtt 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. HumE. Mr. BRIGHT had 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 zeal 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 he, 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 th e English 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. He 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 look very small under the practical rebukes of Mr. BRIGHT'S straightfor• ward, but often pungent, eloquence. On Irish ques tions, in future sessions of Parliament, the Hon. Member for 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 the a first bject violetsforms, of s offeringprog ? Is i i for salet not eeasa that nowd therops and most mournful should face you with sunken face and shrivelled 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-paid aristocratic officials, but one of sympathy and man l y ass i stance. I t i s ma t ter f or 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 in 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 be made to be a blessing for future ages. 011 inst.

DEPARTURE OF THE EIIROPA.—On Saturday after noon, at four o'clock, the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Eyrie, 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. Meyerbeer, the musical composer, is at Spa (Ger many), in such bad health that he cannot even make use of the baths. EVENING, OCTOBER ii, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Government has received the following telegraphic dispatches:— " Bordeaux, 9th, Bb. 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—' Vivo l'Empereur: " " Twenty-five minutes to Seven P.M. " The weather has been dreadful since the morning. His Highness was obliged 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. Montan ship-owner, and deputy for the Gironde. The Car• dinal Archbishop gave his blessing to the ship, and she was launched with perfect success. The Prince returned to the palace at a quarter to four. In spite of constantly heavy rain the crowd was immense, and the Prince along his passage was saluted with the cry of Vivo I'Empe reur I' Every face expressed satisfaction and joy." Prince JEROME BONAPARTE, president of the Se nate, arrived at Bordeaux on the 6th, from Paris. M. DE PERSIGNY, Minister of the Interior, has also ar rived there. General DE LAVOISTINE has published an order of the day, announcing that the National Guards of the Seine are to be called out to receive the PRINCE PR E SIDENT, on his return to the capital. The Journal d 4 Havre states that the Minister of the Oriental Republic 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 telonging 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 :loss, left Paris on Thursday evening, for Ireland. They have expressed their complete satisfaction at the manner in which the Irish college at Paris is directed, and have left the direc tion ofit in the hands of the Rev. Mr. MILEY. The leading papers copy, with very becoming ex pressions of satisfaction, an article from the Belgian Independance, protesting against the accusations of the French press that the Belgian papers had ex pressed satisfaction at th e pla ns o f th e M a r s eilles con spirators, and or the symptoms revealed of designs against the life of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, of which they encouraged the renewal. The Independance de clares, that although objectionable sentiments had been expressed by one journal, the Nation, yet that to that one print had they been confined — a fact which ought to have been stated, and the whole i re spectable journals of the country not confounded n a sweeping denunciation. M. HENRI DE BROUCIEERE had nearly settled the pe?s•nnel of his Cabinet ; but there was some fear lest he might, owing to the strength of the Opposi tion, be obliged to advised the KING to dissolve the Chambers. It is rumoured that the object of the King of HA NOVEn visit to the King of WURTEMBURG was for sake of effecting a renewal of frien dl y 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 round Paris, will be charged . with the surveillance and working of that The five comp an ies interested in this connecting line appointed he following members :—M and Seillicre for the Paris and Lyons ; MM. Roux and Blaigneres, for the Strasburg ; MM . de Richemond an d Marc, for the Orleans and the Centr e ; MM. de l'Espee and Blount for the Rouen ; Deleb*equeand and Emile Pereire, for the Northern. MM. M. Hottinguer M. de l'Esp e has been chosen President of the Syn dical Commis s i o n. The Duguesclin line-of-battle ship, en flute, has arrived at Brat from Cayenne, after a passage days. She left the colony of Guayana, as wel l as the Penitentituy establishment, in a very satisfactory state. The Nouvelt ste of Marseilles, of the sth, gives th e following details of the infernal machine:— of 30 " This macbin?, which has been submitted to the exa mination of the goat competent men, is not composed, as described by the Moniteur, of 250 gun-barrels, and 4 blunderbuss-barrels, but of t wo tu b es i n t hi c k s h ee t 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. Each of the large barrels was charged with headtof nails a n d pi eces of iron and lead, and each case contained a ball. A second machine, si milar to the former, was in course of construction, of these details we do not mean to l seen which the police hale also obtained possession. g o lv tLi g Pdto the homicidal idea which led to the above explanation, The Nouvelliste, after giving adds : le seen its construction., but 'because it appeared to us indispen sable to tranquillise the . public mind by showing that the demagogues, disarmed s . in . co the 2d December, by the B od y iu o m ur foresight of the . authmties, have not, thank God, at their disposal, either for the purposes of civil war or of assassination, any resources such as would h ave b e en supposed from the description given in the Ministerial article."

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY- 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 quarter' Fine Barley realised the same amount of improvemo ol : and the value of other kinds was well supported. Mai" Oats, Beans, and Flour were quite as dear, but have cum' manded very little attention. Our letters from most of the Continental pods state that all grain has mov e d off somew h at stea dil y , a t fu ll quotations. In France, Flour has been offering c ° tower terms. The latest advices from the United State o bring no alteration in prices. The arrivals of English Grain up to our market last week were on the increase. From abroad we receive' 32,428 quarters of Wheat, 2.230 Barley, 7,938 Ost il : 2,345 Beans, 278 Peas, 14,445 Linseed, 3,734 Rapesee 853 sundry Seeds, 1,984 sacks and 13,552 barrels 0` Flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals ° l' Wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were but mode" rate, and in very middling condition. By land carriage the receipts were tolerably good, and some of the parco° were of full average weight. Notwithstanding that tb?, stands exhibited an increased supply the demand for 61 ' kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing, chiefly, to the ; small stocks held by the leading millers, ruled somewhl% active at an advance in the prices of Monday last of 1 ' per quarter, and a good clearance was effected. There was more doing for forward delivery at el above amount of improvement. The growers in genets were not anxious sellers, although they hold heavy stoc1 0 ; N o t w ithstanding that the quantity o f f ore i gn Whel i was somewhat extensive, that grain was in improved re' quest, and selected samples of white were held for more money. Low and inferior parcels were unaltered. Floating cargoes of Wheat off Falmouth were in at, derate inquiry, at full prices. The arrivals from t"" Black Sea have increased. We had a small supply of both English and fore}g }l Barley. All kinds commanded a ready sale, at the eC 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 forwar A d . and the supply of forei gn was sma ll . Th e tra d e r ulv steady, and the late i m p rovement i n pr i ces was full' supported. The inquiry for Beans was firm, at late rates. White Pea: were scarce, and is per quarter dearer } but grey and maple were is lower. A good business was doing in Flour, at extreme ea' rencies.
