TEL Revenue TABLEL—A quarter is so short a
period that it is almost impossible to judge the effect of
'handed changes by merely looking at the two or three
mouths that suoceed a budget, but in spite of the mea-
sures of the year the customs for the quarter coding June
30,1865. amount to 5,178,0004, against 5,446,0001. for the
sionespooding quarter of last year. The excite is almost
exactly statioaary, being 4,865,0001, or precisely 1,0301.
more than io the same gamier last yew. But it is more in-
tereithigand instructive to look at finance on a larger scale,
and the means to do so are supplied by the table for the
years ceding June 30, 1864 sod 1865. There is • decease*
on the Customs of 517,0004, saesely, frees 22,821,0004 to
22,304,0001. This is, of sour's, mainly owing to the falling
off on roger following the legislation of lest year. Bat
the circumstance that there is also • decrease cm the quarter
jest ended, compered with the corresponding quarter
hat year, of 268,0004, indicates that the recent
reduction of the ten duty plays its part in this
diminutioe. On the whole, it may be said that the
reduction of taxatios accounts for all the decrease
which the Customs exhibit, sod that the consumption of
the relieved articles, according to other returns, goes on
cos/hotly increasing. If any proof of the growth of the
popular consumption were wanted, it would be supplied
by the increased productiveness of the Eloise, which
has rises in • year from 18,666.0001. to 19,559,000/.
That this immense sum should be paid by the
people as • tax ou their indulgences may be
deplored by philanthropists, bet it is exceedingly
satisfactory to the 6sancier, and may be accepted
eves by those who regret it, as • proof that the wintry is

Post•oillee rehires are • measure of moral aid letellectual
proper, as shoe of the exase are of material wellbeing,
and it is most satisfactory to the friends of education to find
that every year the produce of this depertaseut so rapidly
increases. The sum raised during the year just concluded

MOO or 6,000 of his partisans. The Gazette ex-
a fear that the meeting will be attended by
seal umbers of the lower dames from Hamburg;
and that the assemblage may lead to dangerous
excesses. Such proceedings as calling together a
meeting of this kind, the Gazette thinks, cannot
promote the Duke of Augustenburg's interests.
