A table is annexed exhibiting an estimate of the gross
revenues on the one aide, and the entire Indian charges an
the other, with the estimated Menem or decrease under each
heed in 1869-60, as compared with 1858-59.
The aggregate receipt& from land revenue in 1859.60 are
estimated at 18,27.29,600 rupees, being an improvement to
the extent of 72,67,080 rupees, as compared with 1858-59,
for which year the land revues ha been estimated at
17,54,62,420 rupees. The increase of 67,60,060 rupees
in Oa& ha been estimated on the suppoeition that
peace will be tally mimed in that province. The
in-
oreate of 19,60,000 rupees in the north-west provinces it
attributable partly to the expected reelisstion of a large
amount of arrears, and pertly to the collection of 10 lace of
additional revenue from oonflaceted estates. The demean
of 1,41,000 rupees in the Punjab is looked for in the Delhi
territory, consequent on the great of lands rent free, as
rewards for faithful or loyal services.
Under the head of Customs, exclusive of ialt,whichwill be
noticed separately, there is an expected improvement in the
receipts for the whole of India in 1859-60, es compared with
1858-59, of 1,06,06,100 re.
The revenue to be derived from salt sales and duties, after
deducting advances and charges, to estimated at 3,13,56,000
ratites, being 14,72,000 moms in MVOS of the ascent esti-
mated for 1858-69. la Beegal a diminution of 3,06,230
rupees in the amount realised from the male aril Is expected
to be more than met by an increase of 5,00,000 rupees in the
duty upon importatioam
7 he osmium from opium are estimated at 6,28,84,000 mem
being 41,73,660 rupees In eacesa of the receipts estimated foe
the anneal year. The ordinary and extraordinary receipts
from the public works have been assumed at 60,66,100 rupees,
being 2,51,101 rupees in excess of the estimate of 1868-69.
Toe misrelhmsona receipts, deducting the receipts apper-
taining to the mints, show a probable improvement is
1859.60 of 9,52,966 rupees.
The aggregate anticipated improvement under the prin-
cipal heads of revenue Is 2,42,96,832 rupees. It is chiefly
contingent on peace being maintained, and on the delive-
ries of opium at Bombay, and the exports and imports by
sea at the several Presidencies not being diminished in
conwpienos of the additional duties Imposed upon them; bin
the prospect is on the whole encouraging, and it is probable
that the general results will be much more favourable should
it be determined in the course of the year to introduce the
measures now under comiderstion' of a tax on tobacco, a
stamp duty on checks and receipts, and an enhancement ci
the salt duties at Madras and Bombay.
With regard to the charges, it is observed the total charges
expected to be incurred in India in 1859-60 amount to
89,13,38,073 rupees, being 1,91,95,981 rupees less than the
charges estimated for 1858-69. Of them charges 1.34,71,100
rupee' appertain to the brawls@ of Nagpoor,Pegs and
Manate, Temeserim and Oade.
Tee ordinary civil charges are estimated to exceed those of
185859 by 181e,960 rupee, airily in consequence of an in-
crease in the exposes on amount of deputy magistrates and
the criminal marts, police eatabliehments, and revenue
surveys in Bengal, and the charges of the Pasant Commission,
police establishments, revenue survey', and wicovenanta
deputy-collectors in Madras.
The civil charges extraordinary (general, judieial, revenue,
Sze.), show a &cream compared with 1858-69 of 18,32,850
rupees. In the departments under the immediate control of
the government of luta, the decree's is estimated at
9,31,600 rupees.
The military chi ad and extraordinary, exhibit
an estimated decrease of 2,32,01,N0r5.
Under the head of " Intertat," there is an estimated in-
cre am of 48,86,200ra., the bulk of which is under India.
The expenditure for public works during the year is
mama at 4,38,20,997 re.
After giving a tabular statement with regard to the debt as
well, besides recapitulating the receipts and disbursements,
the document, in Its concluding paragraph, says .•—" From
them results it will be seen that a cash balance 011,39.66,539
rupees le looked for on the 30th April, 1860. This cash
balance is dimly 60,33,481 rupees below the amount
(12,00,00,000) which it is thought desirable, nadir exulting
circumstances, to have at command in the treasuries
throughout India at that period of the year,
