was his duty too state the Friends on which he

wished for imptory, to the end that till unnecessary
taxes should he reputed. Ile objected to the tax

was one that ought toot. If they conk! repeal a

to his rent. The Report of the Committee of the
other Howie of Parliament on this subject was the
most unsatisfactory that ever was made. He was
of opinion that they ought to have waited until ge-
neral relief was given. This was a kind of measure
Which had been always deprecated by his Majesty's
Ministers on former occasions, but the present Bill
• was countenanced by them, although not absolutely
fathered by the Noble Earl. He was of opinion,
if. taxes could he repealed, there should be a state.
•rattit of all taxes laid before Parliament, for the
purl/woe of inquiry—and this tint having been done,
he could not vote for this Bill; for next year the
commercial interest would come and say to their
Lordships, can von refuse us a bonus. when you
granted one last year to the agricultural interest by

The Emil of Livtaeoot. said, he would now

proving of time Bill. This was not a measure pro-
posed by his Majesty's Ministers, as it was brought
fotwaird by a (Wernher of the Agricultural Com-
mittee in the other House of Parliament; it was at
first oppused by the Administration. but it was af-
tewardo carried by a vote of the other House. It
was a measure certainly which he wished never had
been proposed. When the Report of the Agri-

son lie would 'Prefer the repeal of the present tett.

The accounts from Constantinople are of the

to lay an embargo upon all vessels parsing the
Straits of the airclanelles, has been a question
of some difficulty among the diplomatic body in

the Turkish colons!, but that all the Ministers,

ntit,ed this light to exist in the Government

An abstract of the net produce of the revenue
for the years ended the 5111 of July, 1820, and the
sth of July, 1821, distinguishing the quarters,
will be found in another part of our Paper. Au
account will also be seen *hewing the income and
charge on the Consolidated Fund in the quarter
which ended on the sth of this month. By the
former account it will be observed that in the Oc-
tober quarter of the year 1820, there was a very con-
siderable iocrease as compared with the correspond-
ing quarter in the preceding year, beat that in the
three successive quarters, which went to constitute
the financial year just closed, the receipt of the
revenue experienced a decline, as compared with
the corresponding quarters respectively in the pre.
ceding year. The result, however, is, that the
total receipt of the four quarters taken collectively
exceeds the aggregate receipt of the four previous
quarters by the sum of 797,8321. The abstract of
the years' accounts stands thus :
Total revenue, exclusive of Property and snap-
`propristed War Duties fur the year ended the
thelea.tely, 1820 t 48.893.205

offering any very Battering view of the present con-
dition or future proipects Or our enaiceo, iriklinre-

tile realization of those brign...-,
available Sinking Fund, which formed so marked
and prominent a feature in the picture of financial
prosperity with which the Csaticat.t.oit of the
Eictieouett lately amused the House of Contmons.
The account of the Consolidated Fund presents
an appearance of • most singular kind, and one
which cannot fail to prove as inconvenient to the
Ministers of the Crown as it is embarrassiug to the
financial operations of the c.ountry. The charge
upon the Consolidated Fund has, within the last
fire or six years, been ►utfered to accumulate so
enormously, that it has uniformly for that space of
time exceeded the income in each successive quar-
ter; and notwithstanding the relief afforded to it
by the Act for appropriating the current receipts of
each quarter to the uses of the fund, a deficiency has
actually accumulated to the amount D1'9,846,7874
The deficiency in the last quarter alone amounts to
1,328,730/. We are really surprised that the MS:

effort to relieve themselves from this inconvenience*
they seemed apprehensive of approaching the sub•

with which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
concurred in the suggestions lately made by Mr.
MAaEat.Y and Mr. GRENFELL, mid his willing-
ness dist Parliament should early in the next Ses-
sion undertake a general revision of the finance
accounts, fur the purpo.e of simplifying them,

ramming of their present situation. It is a fact.
more creditable to the Bank of England than le
the Ministers of the Crown, that the payment sit
the dividends quarterly rests to so great u degree
in the discretion of the Directors, that should their
refuse to accommodate the Government with the
necessary advances, the public credit must expe-
rience a very alarming shock. Such a state of de•
prudence is inconsistent with the dignity of the
Government, but tie high character, integrity,
and patriotism of the Directors of the Bank, leave
no ground for apprehending any danger to the
interests of the country. Such a state of affairs,
however, is stiomultius, aid we are sincerely glad
that Puiliament will turn its attention to the rub-
ject in the next Session.
