WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, MI.

Amidst all the enthusiasm and anaiety excited
in the country by the late anconatitutiotiel prosecu-
tion instituted against the Qintex—amidst all the
charges and recriminations Vreferred mutually by
the great body of the people and the Mirni►ters of
the Crown. there is still an important and minter.
"us class of society who look with no divided in.
serest to the state of public credit. and to the ap-
pearances now offered to our view by the financial state
of the country: It has often heeu remarked, that'
about the commencement of every Ses►ion of Perlis.

ascot the funds a►e perceived to put on an appearance
of improvement. as if the public credit, that depends
for its existence altogether upon the faith of the
House of Commons, looked brightly on the :netting
of its legal guardians and protectors. We ear-
nestly hope that its legal guardians and protectors
will, in the ensuing Session. look with more anxiety
and care to the future prospects of their ward thou
they seen► to have hitherto evinced. that they will re-
pose its security upon the natural and ostensible
resources of the "country. and terminate the de-
structive system of contracting loans for its tempo•
rary support and ultimate ruin, which the Minis-
ters have unfortunately pursued for so many years
since the return of peace.

In the course of the discuseioas on the subject of
the Ways and Means, during the two last Sessions
of Parliament, au intimation was thrown oat by
Lord LIVERPOOL and Mr. VANIITTAET, that the
lost; contracted in the last year should close the
borrowing system, unless the unexpected recur.

nis estimate of the probable receipts and expendi-
ture of the present year is founded, stith some
slight 'modifications, upon the estimates fur the
year just closed, as they were sanctioned by Far-
hat:near, and upon an average of the receipt of the
Mtelle during the year ending the 10th of Octo-
bet 18120. From our statement it is evident to the
plainest understanding. that, unless the House of
Commons in the ensuing Session shall resolve to
reduce the public expenditure below the estimates
of the lost year, it will be necessary to borrow
money to the amount of nearly 13,000,0001. sod

that even with this assistance there will remain
no Sinking Fund to the mount promise d by the
Lords of the Treasury ! Our present Moister.
have repeatedly declared that any diminution in oar
existing expenditure would materially endanger the
security of the country and the dignity of our
Monarch's sceptre : we cannot, therefore. look to
their concurrence in any motion for enforcing
•to any salutary extent a principle of economy.
On the other hand, experience hew fatally pre red
that no increase of income can be reasonably ex-
pected to any considerable amount from the people
in their present exhausted state. Indeed, if It were
ereu possible. no wise or prudent Statesmiti should
desire to divert a larger amount of the profitable
capital of the country from the employment of pro-
ductive industry than is now annually paid into
the Treasury. It must not be forgotten that the
sum of 54,680,000/. which we here exhibited as the
income of the 1111i1013, is only the net prodoce of the
incoinic as applicable to national purposes, and that
the gross rem actually paid by the country sill
in the year amount probably to a sum of at
least 1,000,0001. more thou the aft receipt.—an
amazing revenue, superior to soy that wet evir
yet derived from one country. and dityl.tylog i!I
