The revenue returns are published to-day. The revenue
of the financial yes: which closed yesterday amounted to
f 19,600,2191. Yr. MaasWs estimate on the 4th April,
196/, was 69,340,0001. ; to which 840,0001. must be added
on account of the additional ld. inmate tax (according to
Mr. Hunt's Nahuatl in November), and from which
210,0001. must be subtracted on mootuat of the repealed
marine insurance stamps. The result should have been a
receipt of 69,970,0001. ; so that the revenue has been
actually deficient by 370,0001. Supposing the expen-
diture to oorrespcmd with the estimate—a very
favourable supposition—this sum would represent the
deficit for which the Chanaeller of the Exchequer will
have to provide in his forthcoming budget. For the bet
time for many years we roust expect, remarks the Tina,
au adverse balanee-sheet, and the British taxpayer will be
fortunate indeed if there should be a prospect of meeting
the need without a continuance of the present increased
taxation.

The Pad considers that the returns disclose a most
serious state of our public finance. It calculates that the
total expenditure has been 73,152,67 W., against an biome
of 69,100,2191., giving a deficiency of 3,552,4601.—ab0ve
three millions and a half. But this is not aIL On the 16th
March the Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated that the
Abyssinian expedition had probably own, up to that day,
the amount which had been estimated as sufficient to the
30th of April next, or 3,300,0001. But of this only
2,000,0001. barn bees voted, and the difference must have
been advanced by the Indian government. The deficiency
on the year is, therefore, in all probability, about five
millions.

The Daily hew has an article on the statements which
were made yesterday at the inquest respecting the death
of a resent inmate of Coldbativiields Prilloll4 and 3011191 to
the combines that the evidence calls foe further inquiry.

primmer, the governor, who administers the discipline of
