This balance-sheet exhibits some changes and extensions as compared with previous quarterly accounts
of revenue and expenditure. The revenue received in Ireland is for the first time included in the accounts,
which had hitherto been deficient by upwards of 4,000,0001. of net annual revenue. The account of the
income and charge of the consolidated fund has, also, heretofore been a very partial and imperfect one.
Instead of showing the application of the quarter's receipts from all sources, it has been limited to the
receipts and charges of the consolidated fund in Great Britain, omitting the income and charges for Ireland,
and suppressing altogether those receipts which may have been appropriated by Parliament to the payment
of other public services than those charged permanently on the consolidated fund. The present and future
accounts will show not only the receipts derived from the ordinary revenue. from imprest moneys, and from
repayments, but will embrace all extraordinary receipts, whether derived from temporary or permanent
loans, Exchequer Bills, or any other moneys applicable to the payment of public services. They will thus
present a complete debtor and creditor statement of all public moneys received in each quarter, and of the
appropriation of the same.

LORD J. RUSSELL being at Scarborough last week
was waited on by the Mayor of the place and a depu
tabon with an address of congratulation and compli-
ment, in which his lordship's labours in the cause of
" civil and religious liberty" formed the main topic
of eulogy. The noble President of the Council re
plied :

APSLICY nousr will be reopened to the public, by
consent of the Duke of Wellington, during the winter
months. A variety of improvements have taken
place, and a large sum of money has been expended
to render the objects worthy of remark and more
visible than they formerly were.

" I am very sensible of the kindness which has prompted
you to address me on this my first visit to your ancient
borough. The legislative measures which have contributed
so largely in our day to the extension of the civil and reli-
gious liberties of the nation, and those which have in so
great a degree promoted the material prosperity of all
classes, have received my cordial support. But the en-
lightened vole° of the country and the favour of the
Almighty gave to these measures the success for which we
have all so much reason to be grateful. So long as lam
allowed a part in the proceedinEs of Parliament my atten-
tion will be devoted to the task of domestic improvement.
Progress is conservative of institutions, such ns oar own
which are founded on the principle that the liberties of
. be kingdom are the birthright of its people."
LiA FREE LIBRARY AND MINDEUX is about to be
established in Preston.

THE OFFICE OF COMMODORE of the Prince of

of soverigns given by the Royal London Yacht Club

THE NEW BEER BILL, and the part he had
played in passing it, were referred to by Mr. Wilson
Patten at the meeting of the Fylde Agricultural
Society last week. He said, at the suggestion of a
great body of parliamentary men, he had been in-
duced to bring in the bill, which he was afraid was
not very popular in certain quarters; hut it was only
an experiment, which he hoped would turn out for
the general good of the country. He bad had great
difficulty in carrying it through the house. A
member could only bring in a bill en particular
days, of which lie had to give previous notice upon
the notice-paper of the House of Commons. He
(Mr. Patten) had to sit up night after night until
three o'clock in the morning before he could get
leave to bring in his bill, and lie was never absent
till lie did get it through the house. But what was
the way in which that labour had been represented
by certain parties ? A paper had lately been put
Into his hand wherein it was stated that Mr. Wilson
Patten introduced a bill into the house at two
o'clock on the morning of the 15th of July, which
was then read a first time, there being only tern
members present; on the 18th of July, also at two
o'clock in the morning, it passed a second reading
before twelve members ; and on the 21st of Slily it
went smoothly through a committee of some sixteen
gentlemen at three o'clock in the morning, the third
reading taking place on the 24th of July, before a
scanty gathering at a morning sitting, Now, during
the whole period that the bill was before the House
of Commons, the whole 650 members knew everyday
that the bill of which he had given notice had to
come on ; and he had in his possession correspon-
dence showing that it was in the knowledge of every
soul of them that such a bill was before the house;
but because he had lost his nights' rest he was
"shown up" as a member who had attempted to
smuggle a bill through the House of Commons. He
had taken that, the flit and earliest, opportunity of
explaining bow matters really stood in regard to
the bill in question ; and he could only say that it
had been brought in entirely for the public good, and
he hoped and trusted it would so turn out. If it did
interfere with the rational recreation and real com-
fort of the public, he could assure them that he was
not its friend, but its bitterest opponent. ("Hear,"
and cheers.) But he asked of the public to let them
have a little experience of its working before they con-
demned it. (Hear, hear.)
