THE QU.dRTEK'S REVENUE.

-4. -

(Trees the &Merger.)

The quarteee revenue will not be made up until
Thursday night next, the 6th instant. There is still,
therefore, very nearly a week before the quarter's amounts
can be completed. Enough, however, is known to enable
as to congratulate our readers upon the very satisfactory
condition of the financial resources of the country. The
buoliiicy of the national still keeps up, in the face
of so wally reductions of taxation, and of some adverse

eirentantanees, such as uncertainty about pawn sad war,
defective barrette, Le.

In the year just shout to end the receipts of the ordinary re-
venue will exceed by a considerable sun the receipts of the
year ending 3th January, 1653. And what will prove Ron
satisfactory still, this iStfello will show itself is almost

the Stamps will exhibit an improvemeat of between
100,0001. and 200,0001. over the preeedieg year, in spite of
the oesaiderable reduetions that ►ave come into operation
in the latter part of the present year. Them are all the
locales items, sad those that give the soundest indications
of the permanency and advance of the national prosperity.
The increase altogether may be impacted to be little shaft
of • million en the year.
If the comparative sum on the corresponding Quarters
shall not torn out to be quite triumphant in f►vour of the
present quarter over the quarter ending Jannaty the 6th,
1863, the TOIIIOII will at ones be obvious to sll. The map
duties are entirely repealed, involving • positive loss of
12,0001. a year, bat 'which is greater in this last quarter
than in any ether, owing to the operations carried en so
much more extensively in that manufacture in the winter
months. The loin on this item alone may be set down at
belt a million in this winter quarter, when the repeal
is in full operation. The buoyancy of the Eacise receipts
will therein* be shacked by this very material Imo, and
will show a ?eduction, which it is hoped will not be very
large, on the preeeat quitter as compared with the corre-
sponding quarter of last year. The reduction of the duties
upon tea and sugar, still is prestos* and the entire repeal
of the duties en so many article of import, may probably
exhibit a alight falling off in the Cutoiss' interns for the
quarter, as sompersd wit► the quarttr ending 6th January
last. The property tax keepe up, and will probably show a
slight incr. am. The Post•oaas, too, exhibits en increase of
