A REMARKABLE "PROPHECY." The public journals having lately announced the reli gious exactness with which the Emperor of the French, Napoleon 111., is dispensing the bequests of Napoleon I. to his old soldiers, and other legatees, this seems a suit able occasion for recording a passage which I met with lately, containing a prophecy which, standing above All suspicion of havim.T been made for the occasion, appears to me to be perhaps as singular a coincidence of anticipation with event as history furnishes. The London Magazine for January, 1823, in the "Ab stract of Foreign and Domestic Occurrences," records the death of Letitia Bonaparte, commonly called " Ma dame Mere," with the remark that—" Her last words were singular, and, asit is not impossible that they may one day turn out prophetic, we give them a place in our record fur more purposes than mere amusement. The narrative then goes on to state that the evening before her death she called together her household, and one after another gave them her hand to 'kiss ; and among the rest—" To Martha Belgrade, her waiting maid, she said—' Go to Jerome, he will take care of thee ; when my grandson is Emperor of France, he will make thee a great woman.' " She then called Colonel Darley to her bedside. He had attended her in all her fortunes, and, in Napoleon's will was assigned to have a donation of 14,0001. "`You,' said she, have been a good friend to me and my family. I have left you what will make you happy. Never for get my grand-son. And what he and you may arrive at is beyond my discerning—but 3ou will, both be great.' " When she had dismissed her servants, sbe then de clared that she had done with this world, and demanded some water, in which she washed her hands : " Her attendants found her dead, with her hand under her head, and a prayer-book on her breast." So far a narrative to which events have given a cha racter of mysterious significance. It would be desirable to ascertain if any of the parties indicated in it, besides Napoleon 111., still survive ; and one would like to know if their faith in the prediction stood the shocks of the last 30 years : for Losis Napoleon himself, it is well known that, through all the improbabilities of the case—through the ludicrous failure at Boulogne— the desperate attempt at Strasburg—and the' dreary captivity of Ham—he always held, and avowed his own belief, that he had a yet unfulfilled mission to ac complish.—From "Notes arid Queries." PRICE or GoLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mule discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of Si. 17s. 101 d per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.091 ; and, the exchange at Paris. on London at short being 25 081, it follows that gold is about 0.04 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg, the price of gold is 4241 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.48 ; and, the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13.41. it follows that gold is 0.06 p i leer cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of E xc h ange b e t w e e n England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nomi nally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allow ance f or c h arges of transport and difference ofinterest, the present rate leaves a profit on the impor tation of gold from the United States.

From the Daily News. We are now in possession of the Revenue Returns for the quarter and the year ending yesterday, the 10th of October. The document itself is given in another column, and fully confirms the anticipatory statement we made on the 27th ult. The details, in fact, show even more vigorous life in the national resources than we had reason to hope for. The Revenue for the quarter shows a net increase of 550,188/. ; and for the year, 16,5801. The increase in the Quarter is made up of Excise, 354,9121. ; Stamps, 12,0961. ; Property tax, 569,6861. ; Post-office, 109,000 ; Crown lands, 11,5721. ; total, 1,056,2661. Against this we have to set off a decrease in the Customs of 140,1071. ; in the Taxes, of 12,5391. ; in Miscellane ous, of 20,7411. ; of Imprest and other Moneys, 15,5431. ; of Repayments of Advances, 307,1481. ; total, 506,078/. ; leaving a net increase of 550,1881. in the quarter. In the Year the increase in the Excise is 128,1631. in the Property-tax, 1.351,2411. ; in the Post-office, 999,0001. ; in the Imprest and other monies, 25,423/. ; total, 1,803,8271. Against this we must set oft the decrease, in the Customs, 839,255/. ; in the Stamps, 68,1481. ; in the Taxes, 16,4451. ; in Crown Lauds, 131,3161. ; Miscellaneous, 36,143/. ; Re-payments of Advance, 695.9401. ; total, 1,787,247/. ; leaving a net increase of 16,5801. in the year. Both .on the quarter and on the year it will be noticed that there is a great decrease in the repay ments of advances, deducting which, and deducting the imprest monies, the total increase of the ordi nary revenue was in the quarter 872,8791., and in the year, •687,097/. It will also be seen that the principal increase in the quarter and in the year is in the Excise, in the Property Tax, and the Post-office, and the principal decrease is in the Customs. Our readers will recollect thrt in 1853 the Property Tax was ex tended ; in 1854 the rate was raised, but none of the produce of the increased rate, which only begins to be due now, comes into the present returns, and the great sum of 1,351,2411., the increase in the year, is wholly the result of the extension of the tax in 1853 and of the Succession Tax then imposed, It was estimated to yield 750,0001., and the produce therefore exceeds ex pectation As to the increase in the excise, the new spirit duties were in full operation in the quarters both of 1553 and 1854, and all other duties were in both alike. The in crease in the year and the quarter of the cise revenue is a gratifying proof of the increasing power of consump• tion on the part of the people. The Post-office, ofwbich the service has been continually extended, and which has become more expensive, and of which the servants have been better paid, bears the same testimony. There is no part of the revenue the increase of which is a surer sign of the activity and of the enjoyments of the people. `The only diminution of income is—as we have seen— in the Customs. The reduction of 4d. per lb. on tea opera ting for half a year, on a consumption of 60,000,0001b5. will account for 500,0001. in the revenue of the year, and for 250,0001. in the revenue of the quarter. Then there has been abolished in the present year a number of small cu-torus duties, all of which gave something to the revenue. A disease in the grapes and currants has led to a diminution in the consumption of wine, spirits, and dried fruits. The war lia4 enhanced the price of tallow, and led to a diminished consumption, its place being supplied by oils, which pay no duty. Last year also the condition of our own harvests led to very large imports of grain in the quarter, while an excellent harvest this year has checked the import— these circumstances making in the quarter a difference in the duties collected on grain of nearly 90,0001. We anticipated a greater reduction in the Customs revenue from the disturbance of war, but the increased consump tion of cocoa, sugar, tea, timber, tobacco--all speaking of the well-being of the people—have kept up this branch of the revenue. The difference in the yield of the stamp duties and of the taxes, both in the quarter and the year, is too small to merit attention ; but the diminution in the former may. he in part dne to the agitation which the subject has lately - undergone, which has checked per sons from buying stamps in advance to the customary extent. The Expenditure of the quarter, it will be seen, amounts to 20,906,9951. This includes a sum of 3,148,0911. of deficiency bills for the preceding quarter, part of which went to supply revenue that had been ap plied to pay off debts, and the amount to be issued in the ensuing quarter is 2,460,5821., or 687,5121. less than the quarter just expired. The Income of the quarter, including 2,324,762/. as instalments from Exchequer Bonds, is actually 18,446,4134, ' If in future quarters the expense of our military armaments does not exceed the present expense, the increasing revenue we may expectfrom the increased rate of the property tax, and the increasing sum which will be yielded by the succession tax, will go far to pay all our increased expenses. We must say a few words about the very much improved form of the accounts. The old form was not merely incomplete, it was perplexed and mis leading. Referring to the last return for the illus tration, it will be seen that the revenue for the Cus toms in the quarter ending July 5, 1854, is stated twice over and differently—in the first table as 4,575,8431.. and in the second as 4,597,8021. So with the Excise ; in one it is 3,624,0081., in the other 3,633,7991. Thus in the second table the amount of the revenue of the Customs and Excise for every quarter was stated differently from the amount in the first table ; and this was the more perplexing, inasmuch as the other item of the two accounts were the same, except that in the one the imprest and other monies were mingled with the produce of old store, and separated in the other. In every quarter's return there were these manifest con tradictions, occasioned by some payments made from the revenue in the course of collection being excluded from the first table and included in the second. This is now remedied, and the Customs and Excise revenue for the quarter is put down at the same SUMS in both the Srst and the third tables, and constitutes an essential im provement. Then the present returns are made more complete by including Ireland. The late form must have .been adopted when the two countries had different Ex chequers, and till we had rails and telegraphs there might have been a plalisible justification for not pub lishing in London on the 10th of October the revenue which had accrued in Ireland to that day. Now there can be no pretext for any delay ; and only the slowness of the Civil Service to recognise and adopt the improvements made by practical men of business, can explain the facts that the accounts of the national revenue have been published every quarter to the last sth July, and have excluded the revenue of Ireland. Henceforth this, to the amount of about 4,000,000/ , will b o i n clud , !ti in th' rinarterty retnrhs. and then public will Not 100 nuzLicti to cobjectu:a- wily the national in come shouid appear, as published on July 5, as 51,185,073/,, and as published in the balance-sheet, a fortnight later, as 54,439,2511. This is another example of old slovenliness, or old mystification, now happily got lid of. The present returns are also made more complete by exhibiting in the third table all the heads of ex pense. Till now the sums appropriated by Parlia ment to the payment of other public services than those charged permanently on the Consolidated Fund were omitted. No account was rendered in the quarterly returns of the money applied to sup ply services, and after stating the permanent charges on the consolidated fund, there appeared an item called "surplus," no less than 6,164,5311., and might make the the public fairly fancy that a huge sum was annually misappropriated. The balance-sheet published generally a fortnight after the revenue returns, explained the circumstance, but only by one public account flatly contradicting qhe other. The present accounts, includ ing the total revenue, also include the total expense, and, so far as we know, nothing is kept in reserve; a complete debtor and creditor statement of all public monies received in the quarter, and of the appropriation of the same." We are not inclined to Compliment pub. lie men for their zeal in introducing improvements. It cannot, in fact, be too continually impressed on the multitude, not being public men, that almost all improvements originate outside the sphere of the Government, which, being Conservative, or at tached by nature to the past, is always in hos tility to change, and always slow to adopt, in its administration of affairs, the improvements made by society at large. We have no doubt, therefore, that the authors of the present change have not been educatedi in the Government offices, and that they have met with great opposition even in procuring the adoption of the obvious and just improvements now made. Knowing what they had to contend against, we look with much satisfaction, and some admiration, on the zeal and cou rage of those who have overcome the via inertia of the subalterns of the Exchequer. It is a great improvement, too, that the returns are now printe I, and-the Govern ment has considerately sent two printed copies to each journal, in place of the old pen-and-ink statement, the blunders of which we had occasion more than once to expose. lII.—Au Account showing the Net Revenue and other Receipt s o f th e Quarter ended 10th October, 1851; the Application of the earns, and the Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the said Quarter, together with the Surplus or Deficiency upon such Charge.

If we are amonu the fore most to proclaim the remission of a tax, a welcome boon to the country, we cannot in consistency pretend that the imposition or increase of a tax is an indifferent affair. No. It must be admitted that we have lately taken bold steps in ..:113 taxation of the higher and middle classes, fir that which, in the shape of indirect taxation, used to fall on the people at large. But, whatever drawbacks there may be in the method, it is, at all events, very clear that we are able to keep up the re venue, and probably to pay out of it the expenses of the war, without retracing our steps in that course of cam• mercial emancipation which has brought us to our present pitch of prosperity. To that prosperity we owe our revenue, and to that revenue we owe that we can carry on a war unparalleled in the distance and magnitude of its operations, without adding to the debt or even to the general taxation of the country. The table before us is the record of a financial victory not less formidable to the enemies of this country than that recently won by the valour of our soldiers and the skill of their chiefs. We have before us the assurance that in the industry of this country, and its great natu ral resources, there will ever be found the means of maintaining our fleets and our army in any cause we may think proper to embrace ; and the history of this nation leaves uo reason to doubt that when we are once compelled to undertake a cause we shall not be in a hurry to lay it down. THE ADMIRALTY KISSING. THE TOE THAT KICKS THEM. ( _Prom the Daily News. ) Yesterday evening two despatches from Lord Raglan were, by order of the War Minister, the Duke of New castle, published in the London Gazette. Yesterday fore noon two despatches from Admiral Dundas, and one from Vice-Admiral Boxer, were, by order of the Admi ralty, published in a third edition of a daily paper. By thus giving the journal in question a priority in the an nouncement of public news—news about public affairs obtained at the public cost—the Admit alty have jobbed away what has been procured by the expenditure of the people's money. Perhaps we shall be told that it was intended to communicate the despatches to all the morn ing papers, and that to this end the journal in question Was instructed to impart the news to the rest. But the Admiralty must know—and, does know, for the subject has been mentioned more than once—that such commu nication of the despatches to all papers alike could only be effected by first putting the documents in type, and then sending " slips" of them to the other newspapers. In this case the despatches got into type and into circu lation—as it was known they would do. In fact, the third edition of the journal in question was sent to the City, and the " slips" of the despatches to the other office.: at the same time. The cause of this favouritism is obvious: it has its origin not in love, but in unmanly cowardice. On Saturday the journal we refer te at tacked the Foreign and War-offices, for publishing Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's despatch in a Gazette, instead of seeding it to a newspaper. On Monday this blow was followed up by an onslaught on all the Ministers who are out of town, and by a superadded hypocritical; calumnious inuendo, again' t her Majesty herself. This bullying has had its effect upon the de prtilient confided to Sir J. Graham, which seeks to buy off the wrath of this journalist by supplying him with early intelligence at the public expense ! It is neither inure nor less than bribery out of the public money for libelling the Queen. Nor perhaps is this the meanest feature in the case. In the paper thus propitiated, Ad miral Dundas was yesterday directly accused of sloth, cowardice, and incapacity. Was the favour shown by Sir James Graham's department meant to repay this service—this libel on Admiral females I The Knight of Netherby has ere mow dealt backhanded blows to forme) friends, and it may be worth while—when space permits —to call some of these traits to light again as illustra tions of the spirit and way in which Sir J. Graham's department seem now prepared to use the public de spatchea entrusted to them. The Duke of Newcastle, greatly to his honour, has placed the news of the war at the earliest possible mo ment before the whole public, through the London Cia zette, br by rapid communications to all journals alike ; just as an upright Minister ought to do. The Admiralty has followed the old corrupt plan of sending public news through one channel—" for reasons best known" to those guilty of this gross abuse of their public position.. The plan of the Duke of Newcastle ought to be followed by all public departments, and if the Cabinet are wise they will take this matter into their special consideration with a view to the correction of the abuse we point out. Prom the Morning Chronicle. We regret to have to complain that the Admiralty have yet to learn that simple rule of justice and fair dealing, in its communication of important documents to the public press, which has been so honourably adopted by the War Department. While the Minister of War —acting on the broad and plain principle that public despatches belong to the nation, and not to a particular nerivspaper—gives copies of all such docu ments simultaneously to all the metropolitan daily journals, the Admiralty systematically selects one of our contemporaries as the sole recipient of its com munications. All despatches given to the public by that department are sent exclusively to. one journal ; and though it is understood that, as soon as they are in type, slips shall be transmitted by the journal so favoured to its contemporaries, it will readily be perceived that the time necessarily occupied in printing the documents gives a most unfair advantage to the newspaper thus singled out for the private whim of a Government officer. Some recent Arctic despatches were, in this manner, made, during an entire day, the private pro-. perty of one journal ; and the important despatches from Admiral Dundas, which we published yesterday in a Third Edition, were, as usual, given exclusively, in the first instance, to the same journal, to be communicated, at its leisure, to ourselves and our other contempora ries. We shall never cease to denounce this pitiful sys tem of favouritism or unfairness ; and should it be con tinued,. the Parliamentary representatives of the Admi ralty may find themselves called upon to explain to the House of Commons by what right they employ the ma chinery of a Government department in promoting the private interests of particular newspapers.

DEPARTURE OF THE BEAGLE FOR SEBASTOPOL Yesterday advices were received that her Majesty's steam despatch gun-boat Beagle, armed with Lancaster's oval guns, having a range of 4,000 yards, had arrived at Constantinople on the 29th of September, and immedi ately proceeded to join the fleet off Sebastopol.

Yesterday notice was given on the Royal Exchange that the Russian vessel Dwina, prizo to the Miranda, the Nierrdhal, prize to her Majesty's steamers Conflict and Cruizer, and also the prizo Reinhard, would, within 20 days, be condemned by the Court of Admiralty, and they and their cargoes sold for the benefit of their captors. • MILITARY. The colonelcy of tho Bth king's Regiment has become vacant by tho death of General Sir Gordon Drummond, which took place yesterday. Thirty men are to be added to each cavalry regiment serving at home. We regret to announce the death of Lientenat-Colonel Cox, Grenadier GUMMI!. Captain Younghussand, who company of the Bth bat talion Royal Artillery is stationed at Gibraltar, with Lieu tenant Tucker and 103 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery, marched at seven o'clock a.m. on Monday, from the garrison to the Royal Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway, and proceeded by it to London, en route by railway to Portsmouth. where they aro to em bark for the seat of war in the East. Captait} Young husband returns to Gibraltar to take the command of his company at that station, and Lieutenant Tucker remains with the Royal Artillery in the Crimea, the company to which ho is attached being stationed at Malta. Letters have been received at Woolwich from several officers, non-commissioned officers, and men engaged in the battle of Alma. Colonel Lake, of the Royal Horse Artil lery, had a fine horse, which he greatly valued, shot dead under him. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm and courage of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery under the most trying circumstances, owing to the nature of the approaches to the strongly fortified position where the Russians were - posted on the Alma. As an instance, it may be mentioned that one of the first of the Artillery guns that attempted to cross the river Alma had one of the wheels of the gin carriage completely destroyed by the shot from the. Russian guns, while the officers and men wore np to their middles in water. Nothing daunted by their posi tion, and the heavy fire kept up on them, they promptly set to work, and in an incredibly short space of time at tached another wheel to the gun carriage, and marched forward to the scene of action almost as soon as the others, and as if nothing had occurred to interrupt their progress. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and men knew no dis- Unction on the occasion, overy one lending a helping-hand ; and it is stated as a fact that one of tho officers of the Royal Artillery killed in action was serving the gun as No. 3 gunner at the time he was killed. Captain Gibbon's company, 12th battalion, have been placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness to pro ceed to Norwich with their 9-pounder field battery guns, and Captain Smyth's company, Gth battalion, to Ipswich, with their 9-pounder field battery guns, to make room for I large number of horses from the country, and two bat teries of artillery, daily expected, with their horses, from Canada. Captain Broughton's company, 2d battalion, and Captain Graydon's company, let battalion, are now the two companies first on the roster for foreign service with siege guns. The greatest activity exists in the garrison at Woolwich, in the Royal Engineer department, and a messenger was sent express to Chatham, on Monday morning, with orders to the commanding officer of the engineer establishment at Chatham to forward all non-commissioned officers or privates of the Royal Sappers and Minors who aro practi cal divers for the purpose of their being sent to the army under the command of Lord Raglan in the Crimea, to .assist in bringing up the guns and removing the vessels sunk at the entrance of the harbour of Sebastopol. Tho 2(1 company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, that }eft Chatham for the Baltic, are daily expected to return to head-quarters hero at Woolwich. The whole of the Royal Sappers and Miners recently sta tioned at Hong Kong have left in the freight ship Blen heim, and aro now on their way to Ragland, to join head• (porters at Woolwich. A reinforcement of medical officers being required for the seat of war, the following gentlemen are selected from the medical staff at Chatham, to proceed forthwith for service in the Crimea and at Constantinople :—J. Newton, J. Summer, and Rutter, being 2 , 1 class staffsurgeons at the invalid depot, Fort Pitt Hospital ; those gentlemen proceed to eonstantinople, and Assistant-Surgeon John stone, 68th Foot, proceeds from Chatham garrison to Ports mouth, there to embark with artillery for the Crimea. It is expected that another draft of medical gentlemen will be required from the hospital, for the seat of war. The Ipswich cavalry barracks are about to be occupied immediately by a body of Horse Artillery. Orders were received on Saturday for the barracks to be ready by Wed nesday, and it is anticipated that the men and horses are to take their winter quarters at Ipswich, preparatory to embarking at Harwieh next spring for the shores of the Baltic.—lpswich Express. Cons, Oct. 10.—At five o'clock on Friday evening the baggage of the draft of the 13th Regiment, stationed here for the past month, accompanied by 6 privates and 1 ser geant, sailed from Merchants'-quay, in one of the river steamers for Queenstown, to be embarked in the Poictiers transport, for conveyance to Malta. Four women went with the baggage. On the following morning at eight o'clock 200 of the same regiment, and 70 of the 92d High landers, under the command of Lieutenant Leith, left in the Royal Alice for the same destination. The band of the 91st accompanied them down the river, playing, as they proceeded, suitable and lively airs.—Cork Examiner.

The Revenue accounts f or th e q uar ter ending yester day have b een p u bli s h e d i n a comp l eter an d more sensi ble form than th ose we h ave hi t h erto h a d t o deal with. To the Submarine Telegraph, which will enable the Treasury to know the state of the Irish revenue to as late a date as that for this island, and also, we must add, to the light of common sense now admitted into these matters, we are indebted for the novelty that the return of the Revenue, which has hitherto been confined to Great Britain, is to-day a complete account of the net revenue of the United Kingdom. The partial cha racter of the return has always been felt to be a great imperfection, and even discreditable to a Government which professes to keep the nation thoroughly and con stantly acquainted with the public accounts. This de fect is now removed. Another novelty is introduced, which, though only a matter of form, is very conve nient. The only comparison hitherto made has been that of quarter with quarter, and year with year. A fairer and more important period of comparison is ;,dried in the return before us--viz., the six months of the financial year from its cammencement up to the date of the return. The third and last alteration relates to that mysterious document, which but few of our readers, we are well assured, have hitherto possessed the confidence or the hardihood to approach—viz., the table hitherto appended to the revenue return, and purporting to tell us " the income and char g e of the C on solidated Fund," as compared with t h at of the p revious c orresponding quarter. A new sty l e and title has been adopted, or, rather, a new form of return altogether has been intro duced, under the title, "An Account showing tile Net Revenue and other Receipts of the Quarter ended Octo ber 10, 1854 ; the application of the same, and the Charge of the Consolidated Pure.' for the said quarter, together with the surplus or deficiency upon " ch charge." In fact, it is a " complete debtor and creditor statement of all public moneys received in the quarter, and of the appropriation of the same." There is a net i ncrease of 550,188/. on the quarter, 16,5801. on the ye ar , and 77,8971. on the last six months, as compar e d w i th the previous corresponding periods. In all the se cases the increase would be much more but for the very great decrease in the repayments of advances. Th e C ustoms of the qua rter are less by 150,1071. than i n th e corresponding quarter last year. There has been so great a falling off in the importation of corn, owing chiefly to our own excellent harvest that in the very moderate duties still levied on it there is a decrease of 95,000/. The diminished duty on tea is answerable for 190,0001., while there is a fall of 10,0001. in the duty on tobacco, and 55,0001. in the duty on wine. These losses are counterbalanced to some ,extent by an increase of 18 4,0001. in the receipts from sugar, and 50,000/, from brandy and rum. On the whole six months of the financial year there has been a decrease in the r ece i p t s from corn, currants, and raisins, rum, tea, and win e ; and an increase from sugar and tobacco. The result is a decrease of about half a million in the Customs for the half-year. In the Excise the quirter shows an increase amount. ing to 344,9121. - This is chiefly owing to greater re ceipts in malt, counterbalanced. by a falling off in the spirit duties. On the whole year an increase of 600,0001. on malt, and greater receipts from licenses, paper, post horse duties, and spirits, have been largely counterba lanced by the duty on soap. It will be observed that there is no variation worth notice in the revenue from Stamps. On the whole year there has been a decrease of 160,0001, from advertisements, 20,0001. from newspaper supplements, and 40,0001. from attorneys' certificates, while from fire insurances, legacy duties, and receipt stamps there is an increase amounting to 155,000/. The slight variation in the item of "Taxes" is ascribed to the redemption of the land tax, the proceeds of which are paid over to the National Debt Commissioners. But, perhaps, the most interesting figures of the return are those of the property-tax, on the one hand as the main sinew of war, on the other as the particular impost en which the bulk of our readers are probably most sensitive. Those figures represent an increase of 569,6861. on the quarter, 1,351,241/. on the year, and 854,7901. on the first six months of the financial year. We have been favoured with an explanation of these figures, giving the following results :—The additional duty of 5.1. has produced about 140,0001. in the quarter, and 280,0001. in the year. The extension of the duty to Ireland has produced about 126.0001. in the quarter, 496,0001. in the year, and 370,0001. in the half-year. The double duty, as yet paid only on dividends and pub lic salaries, has produced 267,0001. The rest of the in crease in the Property -tax is referred to improved assess ments. The only other increase that calls for - remark is certainly remarkable. The Post-office exhibits an im provement of 108,0001. in the quarter, and still more in proportion for the first six months of the financial year. ave will no' ,rev--, the ptll.'ic -a 41: fresh collo-o'ola tiwis 00 tioe tiilatiei,il 000110,i00,t10s tabitt ta:closts.

The following Austrian Note is in reply to the Prussian Circular of the 14th. This document is addressed by Count Buol• to Count - G. Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, and bears date Vienna,, Sept. 30, 1854 : " Count Arnim has communicated to me a despatch, of which the annexed is acopy,containing the reP!y of his Court to our declarations of the 14th. I havaxiot delayed to submit the same to -the Emperor, our most gracious master, and I obey the commands of ! his Majesty in ad dressing the following observations to you. First of all, we must take 'the liherty of correcting, in soma points, the c onstruction which has been put upon our de c larations of the 14th instant by the Prussian Cabinet. The more sin cerely desirous -we are of a union with Prussia and the other Governments of Germany, the greater worth we must attach to the securing of our declarations against every misunderstanding. " We have neither stated, nor could we state, that the danger of a conflict between the two empireslAustria and Russia) has been removed by the retreat of the Russian troops from the Danubian Principalities. We have said this only in speaking of such an immediate danger. "Jf we have tak , -if occasion to remind you that the oe cupation of the Principalities by Russia was the cause of the war and that the German Courts had declared its continuance as irreconcilable with the interests of Austria and Germany—if we have acknowledged the naturally consequent importance of the feet of the evacuation—we were nevertheless far from recognising therein the security of those important interests. On the contrary, we consi dered them gravely prejudiced, as long as Russia (lees not give guarantees for the restoration of a sure and lasting peace. " We made mention of the restriction of the scene of war, 55 an immediate consequence of the evacuation of the Prin cipalities. In doing so, we bore in mind that Russia had wi th,trawn her army from Wallachia and Moldavia, and that. Austria was called upon to protect these countries against a second invasion. But we never ascribed to ourselves e. right to separate, the principalities from the territory which is accessible for warlike operations, nor are we in a poai don to claim such a right. " Just as little had the suggestion been made by us that Austria and Prussi s should refrain from making a positive proposition at the Germanic Diet for the adoption of the guarantees which were agreed to by the exchange of the notes of the &ith August. As or ourse l ves , we cons id er that Viis prepositi on has been already executed by the communication of the note of the Imperial Cabinet, of that date, and weishall only then consider the resolutions which the committee wilt have to subunit to the Federal Assembly after the examination of the documents that have been placed before them, as quite /satisfactory, if, in the ques tion of the guarantees, they assign to the Bund the same .position which we already hold. Only for the sake of not unnecessarily permitting that the difference in the attitude of Austria anti Prussia should become prominent, have we declared ourselves inclined, prec'nely as we did on the oc casion of the exchange of the notes being communicated to the Bund, so also now, in communicating the answer of Russia, to abstain from a formal motion to the effect that the adoption of the four points be decided upon, and only to await the fitting resolution from the initiative of the Rued. " If, lastly, it has been declared by us that we have not taken upon ourselves any responsibility to enforce the four points by active hostilities against Rnssia, the same decla rations manifest, nevertheless, in the most positive man ner, that his Majesty th e E m p eror h as re served to himself fulliberty of action in respect of his ulterior resolutions. "Starting from the views which aro here once more pointed out, we proposed to the Berlin Cabinet to submit the answer of Russia conjointly to the Bund, from whom the knowledge of and consultation upon the same cannot well be withheld without prejudice to its dignity, and to combine there with the proposition (motion)—the declaration that an ittack on the part of Russia against Austria in conse qu.nce of our occupation of the principalities would cause the entire Confederation to take up arms for our defence (zur abinedir)—a declaration which Prussia for herself has already given us. It can therefore only call forth our sin cere regret that the royal Cabinet now raises difficulties against this proposition. • " On the part of Prussia, new explanations to our note of the 14th of September are being claimed. The Royal Government will consent to consider the interests of Ger many on the Lower Danube secured only if the entry of the Imperial t roo p s i n t o th e principalities prevents the establishment of other elements there. It demands expla nations as to whetter the principalities shall be closed against warlike operations generally by the Austrian occu pation ; that Russia consequently shall from thence not be sxposed Wan attack from any other than Austrian troops; and the Prussian Cabinet intimates that, it Russia should have to repulse such an attack, and by so doing her forces should come into contact with our troops, Germany would then have to we i g h i n t h e balance i:s local intere sts against the general interest which pertains t) the question of par ticipation in a European war. " Prussia has already assure:lam of her support, provided we do not take up the offensive against Russia. Wo can not therefore assume that she will now subject this assu rance to a limitation. Independently hereof, we can only remark that the Government of Prussia is perfectly ac qttainted with the nature of the engagements entered int o by all the powers c oncerne d, as well as with the manner in which we have declared ourselves concerning our advance into the principalities. It knows that the treaty of the Porte with the maritime powers cedes to the latter the choice of any point of the Ottoman territory for the ope rations of the allied troops ; that consequently the Porte, even if she should have wished to close the entry to the principalities to her own Danubian army, was not at all in a position to cede to us a right of exclusive cccupation ; and that we, on the other hand, have also laid no claim thereto. We may in realiect . hereof bring to bear both military and political expediences. We can make it the object of our peculiar care that these countries, already so sorely visited, shall be spared a new infliction of the cala mities of war, and from being too heavily taxed. We can also make it our aim that lve.may not be driven memly by hostile events to a deci s io n w hi c h m i g ht nnt oppeot to us to be justified by a voluntary resolution. Here, however, our right in the principalities has its limits. "As, however the Berlin Cabinet has returned to this point, subsequently to the expositiOn of oar views in oar communications of the 14th inst., we cannot therefore but express the conviction, with the candour which we ewe to the allied Court, that Prussia is not in a position to de clare the security of the interests of Germany in the Danu bian principalities to be dependent upon an exclusive oc cupation by Austria. We are far from wishing to evoke discussions upon past events ; but if the Berlin Cabinet consults its remembrances, its must confess to itself that in the question of our advance into the principalities it has observed an attitude which fairly excludes it from any title to make the objection that the principalities are not occupied by us exclusively. " If the foregoing offers no opportunity to more precise explanations of our former communications, on the other. band we do not find in the declaration of Baron von Man teuffel any guarantee for an adequate result to a negotia tion of both Powers in common at Frankfort. To the European Powers the Prussian Cabinet expresses itself ac cording to its declarations of the Gth inst., and continually engages to give its moral support to the four points, and is willing to use its influence in the Bond, that the com mittee of the Bund may declare itself willing to contribute its moral support in favour of these points immediately that any opportunity should offer to open negotiations upon the basis of the same. The Prussian Cabinet, however, at the same time repeats the assertion that it has some scruples in respect to these points, and besides advances the doubt whether at this period a negotiation hereon promises any practical result to the Bund. The Prussian Court will cer tainly, however, find it only just if, on our side, we can re solve to bring forward at Frankrort only such propositions as are adapted to accord the situation of the Bend with our own, and if we in any case regard the promise of the moral support of the fur points not to be accordant with objec tions to the same. " In such a position of things we can only, though with sorrow, share the doubt of Pi nisi.% of tl.e possibility of the establ'sh.nett of a common preposition of both Powers. We will therefore take counsel whether it is advisable that we should brio;, our propositions before the council at Frankfort separately, by the imperial presidia' ambassador, and evoke a decision of the Band, when we shall bo in tho position to act accordingly ; or whether it be better to wait till the Governments of the German Confederation had it in their interest to resume the negotiations upon a question which so deeply affects Europe. " All the proceedings of the Emper w bear witness to his Majesty's deep impression how incalculably important it is that in the present crisis Austria should remain united with Prussia and the German . l3und. The labours of Aus tria, however, do not insure the attainment o f thi s en d. It requires the co-operation of the Governments of Ger many, and, above all, of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in whose exhaulted charac.tcr (personal disposition— geMighe), and highly-enlightaned sense (sinne), repose the best guarantee for salutary resolutions. You will acquaint Baron Man teuff,l with the present note. We shall make a confidential communication of the same to the German Courts.—Receive, &c., " BuoL."
