how truly we cannot say, by the postpone-
ment of the payment of the hop duty, pursuant
to an order of the Tressury. to the amount of
70,000/., the reinisrion of the repeal of the agri-
cultural hone tax, and the reduction Jibe malt duty.
There is a falling off in the assessed taxes this year,
compared with last year, of about 136,000/.,
which is attributed entirely to the latter. On
the other hood, the income of the Consolidated
Fund of the present quarter, compared with its
chorge, exhibits ■n improvement ; the deficiency is
987,000/., for the corresponding quarter of last year
it was 4330,0004, making • difference in favour of
the present quarter of 343,0001. The account issu-
ed from the Vagary also states an increase in the
prodesco of th.eevenue of upwards of a million and
a half; the amount being--

Isere's* is the present year
This excess is chiefly derived, we understand, from
the Customs and Excise, and in nearly equal por-
tions from each; thus evincing, with incresseef inter-
nal consumption, an increase also ou the duties on
exportation.
This statement, when it became known, was fol-
lowed by 'depression of the" Funds on Saturday,
probably talestonsequence of the hopes of the market
having be"&-iieiaed too high by the statement of the
CHANCELLOI6Of thr Excnseu Ea ou Monday. An
increase of upwards of 600,0oqi,jueder the circum-
stances of the quarter just ended, was indeed well
calculated to excite sanguine eipectations of future
prow:sky, which it would now be idle to entertain.
A review of the Treasury statement on the expire-
lams of the preceding quarter may be necessary in
forming an estimate of the general state of the
financial year. it oared_

Spanish Papers to the 15th ult. arrived last night.
..The following are extracts :
MADRID, JUNE 20.
We have accounts from the banks of the
Bidassoa, informing us that the order given on the'
Ilth to the Spanish ftigeives at Bayonne to retire
into the interior had not began to be put into exe-
cution on the 17th. The rime delay is observed
in rentoviwg to the interior the soldiers of the faith
who ere on the frontiers. If we compare this in-
attention. Which we give as certain, with the at-•'
tirmpts, that hive lately been made in Navarre,l
• though without success, to collect people, and in-'
dace the inhabitants to join in the insurrection, it
may be suspected that the Piench Governmeets
with all its promisee and arguments, endeavour. to
gain time.
