TRE REVENUE.: In consequence of the sth of January falling this year on Sunday, the revenue returns for the past quarter will he made up this evening. We rejoice to hear that the accounts are likely to be most fa vourable, and will show a gradual increase of pros perity in every department of the State. It is, perhays, generally known that the " financial" year ends on the 6th of April, when the accounts can be accurately compared with the corresponding statement of a a previous year. And we are happy to state that it is confidently expected, when that time arrives in 1845, they will exhibit a most grati fying and pleasing aspect of increasing prosperity, in every branch of trade and commerce in this great country. With respect to the quarter's account, which will he made up this evening, we understand that it will shcw an increase, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year (as far as the returns from the different public departments have been received) of upwards of 600,0001. _ _ Thomas Innes, Esq.

Childre n 's Cough's, as well as recent ones in adults, will be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, have received the utmost benefit from the use of SI IVCO'S ESSF,NCE OF LINSEED.

HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the palish of Brent, Devon, have considers lit their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the ~ndersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas' Ro bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he wkti literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed ao improvement, and that by continuing them tor some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebratedeysicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit . . " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co rpletely cured him, and he is ntAv enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From ether cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 24. 1‘43. The bove.mentioned Themas Robins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both dqy and night, for sleets was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reducer to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, se that there wa, every probability of his speedy death.

PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The memorable State intrigue by which Pitt, in 1784, succeeded in circumventing and up setting his great rival, Fox, was effected by means of a bribe to the East India Company, which inflicted on the nation an increased window-tax to the extent of 650,000/. per annum. The window-tax had existed previously to that time, it having been first im posed as a substitute for the hearth-tax, which was abolished in the reign of William and Mary ; a relief which was described as " a lasting monument of their Majesties' goodness in every house in the kingdom." To win over the Hon. Company to his India Bill, Pitt talked largely, and bribed bountifully. He supplied the talk, and saddled the nation with taxation for the substantial part of the inducement. One part of his scheme was a reduction of the tea duty from •about one hundred and twenty per cent. to twelve and a half per cent. To make good - the evenue, thus sacrificed for the benefit of the then existing tea monopolists, he imposed the large in crease of the window-tax to which we have alluded. This happened sixty years ago ; so that for the famous job of the "heaven-born Minister," the nation has had to pay, without estimating interest, simple or com pound, a sum amounting to upwards of fifty mil lions sterling. We have alluded to the origin and increase of the window-tax, for the purpose of showing the clumsy and unequal mode of assessment by which it is imposed, and the con sequent injustice which marks its operation. The inequality of assessment is so manifest, that it is scarcely possible to acquit the Minister who proposed it, and the Parliament which adopted and sanctioned it, of imposing burdens on the poor to,lighten the pres sure upon the wealthy. Let any one, take the table of window-duties, which is to'be found hi -any almanac or pocket-book , and he will see that the'scale of win dow-duties is formed on the principle of diminished taxation in the ratio of increased means. -What a mathe ' matician would term " the point of contrary flexture” is observed ; for, on examining the scale, the larger number of windows pays the least amount of duty. The duty upon each window increases as the inability of the tenant to pay is indicated by the diminished number of windows in his dwelling, until the point reaches seven, below which number the tax is not payable. A reference to the window-duty table will show that the rate per window chargeable upon the palaces of the higher aristocracy is less than one half the rate chargeable on the houses of the middle • classes, and above twenty per cent. less than that charged on the house of the petty shopkeeper with fifteen windows. The next in stance of inequality in the operation of the win dow-tax is found in the size and quality of the windows. Except in a few peculiar circumstances, there is no difference between a large window and a small one, and none whatever according to their re spective value. A window of twelve panes, glazed with ordinary crown glass at ls. 6d. a pane, and ' worth therefore but 18s., is charged the same duty as a window with the same number of panes of plate glass, end worth thirty guineas. The duty in the first case may be as high as thirty per cent., and in the latter little more than one per cent. As the panes in the latter case will be at least double the size of those in the former, and of course afford double the light, or be as good as two windows, the tax, put in this shape, will be reduced one-half. On an average, the window-tax of the aristocracy is computed at one-fourth part of what is paid by the middle classes of society. The window-tax is not of necessity a charge on the rental, even suppos ing all windows were of the same size and of the same value. A house in Belgrave-square fetches double the rent that a house of the same num ber of windows does in Russell. square. The tax on the rental is therefore double in the one case to what it is in the other. A house with the same num ber of windows situate in the obscure purlieus of London, it is well known, will not fetch half the rent of one in Fussell-squire. The window-tax v therefore, is twice as heavy there as in Russell-square, and four times as heavy as in the fashionable locality of 13elgrave-square. nut setting the value arising from locality out of the question, the amount of duty is quite unequal upon houses of different rentals. Thus a house of 101. ,per annum, with eight windows, pays a duty equal to eight per, cent. on the rental ; a house of 1001. rental, with thirty windows, will pay above twelve per-cent. on the rental; but a house of 300/. rent, with fifty windows, will only pay five and a half per cent. on the rental ; a house of 500/., with sixty windows, will pay only four per cent. on the rental ; a house of 1,5001. a year, with 100 windows, will pay only two per cent.; a house of 3,0001 a year, with 180 windows, will pay only one and a half per Cent, ; and the palace, with - 365 windows, estimated at 6,0001. a ROMANTIC YET TRUI.E. Although years have elapsed since the fo, l bwing remarkable circumstance occurred, it by some ti:.‘ 6 " dent escaped our notice till very lately: and ever then id so indirect a shape, that it became necessary to enter into a little correspondence, before directing attention to an incident illustrating very forcibly the verity of the old adage " that truth is sometimes stranger that) fiction.' Such inquiries as we were enabled to jot have at length been answered to our own satisfaction ; and before proceeding further, we have to return our best thanks to Mr. Roderic 111`Laren, formerly of Glenluce, but now of Carlisle, and Lieut. Taylor, staff-officer, paymastei of out - pen• sioners, Stranreer. As there are two heroes connected with the tale, we begin with the first, David Kelly, a native of ‘Vigtownshire, who at present resides in the village of Portwilliam. As a horse-breaker, or trainer, he has long maintained an excellent character, and as such is well known to the gentleman of the county, by whom he is employed, and even a good way beyond its bounds. In early life he entered the army, as a private in the 2d Heavy Dragoons, or Scotch Greys. From this corps he was discharged on the 24th January, 1816, on the moderate allowance of sixpence per day, in consequence of a severe sword cut received on his left hand. He had been only three years en• listed, when it was his fortune to abide the brunt of the most tremendous battle fought in modern times ; and at this period, when in the prime of manhood, he must have been a remarkably handsome, soldier looking man. Even yet, at the age of fifty-three, he stands fully five feet eleven inches high, and is so firmly knit together, that nature must have anticipated his calling, by moulding his shoulders beautifully for the combined burdens of a fiery war-charger, heavy helmet, carahines, and sword. Of the other personage connected with a tale of real life less is known, from the circumstance that he belongs to the Emerald Isle. and had also been a soldier in his youth, in the 4th Dragoons, or Ennis killens, in which capacity it was his fate to become an actor at Waterloo. To different persons he has mentioned that, while in the service, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant, and received a temporary allowance after the great battle which was discon tinued many years ago. To all appearance he is a man about sixty, having long travelled the whole south of Scotland as an itinerant cutler ; and who, at least in one respect, cannot say with Canning's knife grinder—" Story; God bless you! I have none to tell, sir." With these preliminaries we proceed to state that on one occasion the above two characters forgathered —point of contact, parish of Mochrum, estate of Mon reith, on the public road leading to Portwilliam. The cutler, who had been either treated to a dram, or felt fatigued by a long day's journey, in pulsing for a brief space to recover his breath, had fallen fast asleep by the roadside. His barrow and wheel stood close at hand ; but, at the same time, projected rather further on the public path than men in authority, such as road trus tees, willingly permit. At this juncture the trainer appeared, mounted on a young horse he was engaged in breaking, and as the animal shyed at objects so unwonted, he essayed every art to urge his steed onward in the right direction. But, in place of moving forward, it became restive, which so annoyed the rider that he bawled out as loudly as possible, commanding the sleeper to get up instantly, and re move his nuisance apparatus to a proper distance. This injunction he repeated more than once without extracting the slightest response, and, losing ( all patience, he called the poor cutler all sorts of names, telling him, among other things, that he 'Well deserved fine or imprisonment, in thus ; en dangering the safety of valuable property by daring to obstruct the King's highway. How long the clamour continued we do not know ; but, as much was said and more threatened, the unconscious offender at length awoke, and, after rubbing his eyes and look ing up, on noticing the irregularity, put everything to rights as speedily as possible. A way thus cleared, the trainer moved onwards ; but, as his temper was still chafed, he abused the wayfarer up hill and down dale, in a long string of angry expressions, plentifully interlarded with expletives altogether unfit for ears polite. The culter in the first instance bore all pa tiently ; but, naturally enough, became a little nettled when his opponent threatened to dismount and treat him to a sound drubbing, which he would remember all the days of his life. Accordingly, looking sternly, he said, It's one thing to say and another to do; cannot two play at that game? And to be plain, I would sooner feel the weight of your fist, and you mine, than be bothered any longer with your abomi nable tongue. An' as to the sport you so brag about, I've seen more of that in two hours than you ever saw in your born days, let alone your father and grand father afore'you. ' Kelly—" You, you lubber; what did you ever see, you thief ? Your brogue I did not notice before ;• but now see that, like all your squad, you like to spin a long yarn." Cutler— Softly, my boy ; I an' the En'nerskillers did 'what we could at Waterloo, a place you never saw and never will." Kelly—" I was there mysel ; but as for you, I would like a better warrant than yours at the foot of the halberds, with the drummer at your back, ready to lay on with the cat and nine." Cutler—" Say you so, my boy ; and supposing you spake true, what regiment had the benefit of your mighty services.? " Kelly—l belonged to the Scotch Greys!' Cutler—" Indeed ! the Scotch Greys; well, I saw dile of your lubbers, as you called me, set on by three French cavalry, and, thinking three too many for one, I galloped from my own ranks and cut down one of them; and, when his com rades saw that, they made off in a twinkling." Kelly —" An' do you know what became of the Grey after ?" Cutler—" The poor fellow had got his bridle-hand cut nearly through at the. wrist, by a Frenchman's sabre, an' with that, and fighting a-while afore, he seemed quite squeamish ; so I took him to the rear, an' gave him a brandy sip out of my pocket 'pistol; but as I had to lave him to join my own ranks, I never saw him more. 1 never saw him but that once, an' he may dead or living for ought I know. But as you are an ould Grey, you should be civil to Paddy, for the sake of your com rade." " Civil," retorted the trainer eagerly, " par don, pardon, pardon ! Forget every word I said; if strangers before, we are brothers now ; there is the wrist that got so fell a stroke ; and by the blood and wounds that raged so rife at Waterloo, you are the very man that saved my life." The sequel of the story is soon told. The two men, perfectly satisfied as to their respective identity, found their way to Portwilliam, where, under the roof-tree of a kind hostess, they spent four days and nights in one another's society, as happy as princes, pledging, on parting, the most lasting friendship, and vowing to boot never, never to quarrel more under whatever circumstances they might chance to meet.—Dumfries Courier. TRADE OF . LEEDS.—The circumstance of wool having maintained its price during the dull trade of the last six weeks, and the prevailing opinion being that it cannot be lower, but .in all probability will have a ten dency upwards, has had the effect of .causing more stir in our cloth halls' this week than for some time past. There has also been pretty extensive orders given out for thin goods for the India and China markets, which will employ a portion of the manufacturers for some time to come, and prevent their, bringing an overstock to the market. On the whole the prospect is much brighter than might have been axpee.ted a few weeks ago. The merchants generally being engaged in taking stock, and this being the season when few buyers visit the market, there has consequently been little doing in sales of finished goods during the week.--Leeds Mercury.

SOTJTIIWARK QUARTER SESSIONS.—Friday fore noon, at eleven o'clock, the Southwark Quarter Sessional which are establish, , ld under a charter, held by the Cor poration of the City o 'f London, were opened by the Lord Mayor, this being the fist of his mayoralty, at the Town hall, Southwark, accompanied by the Recorder, the High Bailiff for the Borough, The names of the grand jury having been called (and ;he usual formalities being gone through), the Recorder adt;ressed them, observing that he was not aware there was al: v' business before the court, and that since the passing Of ,the Act of Parlia ment which instituted the Central Cril. minal Court,• the most of the cases which were heard at these quax w tel sessions were transferred to that court.

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE—A MAN POUND IN A. CHIMNEY.—On Wednesday week a curious discovery too k place on the premises of Mr. Parry, chemist, Christian - street. During the ; preceding night noises had bee heard in the chimney, but no alarm was excited, as the sounds were supposed to be caused by tne person who occupied the adjoining house. Om the morning of Wed nesday (Christmas-day), the errand boy went to as. upper room about ten o'clock. to grind pepper, when he• heard a knocking inside the chimney (the fire-place to which had been for some time built up), and some one cried out, "I'm burning in the chimney." A L 'sistance was then procured, and a police officer called in, when, on breaking through the wall, a man was diseo,vered standing upright in the chimney. He was immedia:'elY released ; and in reply to a question put to him as to h is business there, said, " I went in for shelter." The sup- - position is, that he intended to rob the publicgiouse'next* door to Mr. P arry's, but had mistaken his way, and had got down the wrong flue, from which he was unable to extricate himself. It appeared he had been " sheltering" since eikht o'clock on the Tuesday evening, and had, consequently, enjoyed the pleasures of Christmes in his. new domicile. His person also bore evident g:gns of having been " sooted" in the strange residence lit) had been occupying, although it appeared the desire'for liberty ultimately overcame every other consideratione--- Liverpool Mercury.

REPRESENTATION OF BRADPORD.—A vacancy ine the representation of Bradford is now confidently anti- • cipated ; and we are glad to announce that it has been unanimously resolved, its the meeting of the Liberal electors, that Colenel Thompson is to be invited to con test that borough, in the event of Mr. Hardy vacating his seat. We have long admired Colonel Thompson's poli tical conduct and opinions ' • and believe him to b• one of the honestest and ablest men in England, whether in or out of the House of Commons. That he has so long been excluded from the Le gislature, is, we think, tel the shame and disgraco of the Ten Pound Constituencies created by the Reform Bill ; and it will be greatly to the honour of Bradford if the electors of that town succeed in at length placinm Colonel Thompson in his true place, and where he cam, advocate the cause of the people with the greatest effect: —namely, in the Commons House of Parliament.—Leeds Times.

EXTRACT FROM THE TIMES OF 9th NOV., 1844. " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with remarks on the relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The Dublin Evening Packet, in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its Author :" • " Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an En. glishman of vast experience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is moreover a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding natu. rally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge, and sterling dense, whichlalls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. " With the social condition of Ireland, he has made it his busi ness, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any man in his timeto improve her resources, by encou raging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this, we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality.
