continue it, he hopes to meet all his debts in five years. but
an immediate liquidation of his estate would yield it is

AN EXTNAORDINANYSHOT.—A few days since,
Mr. Palmer, head park-keeper to Earl Fitzwilliam, Went-
worth Park, accompanied by his son, the under-keeper, was
out for the purpose of killing a stag. In consequence of the
deer being very wild at this period of the season, the son
took a shot at a stag at full speed, the ball penetrating
behind the ear, and passing along tbe neck bone through
the stag, killing, at the same time a fine old buck (through
the head), out of a herd following the stag. What makes
the shot more remarkable is, that the buck was at leae. from
10 to 15 yards behind the stag iII rather an opposite direc-

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

1852.

which has always been esteemed the true criterion of
the prosperity of the masses, and in the Excise there
has been a manifest improvement, the increase of this
year over 1851 being no less than 114,1851. This
may not appear to be a very extravagant increase,
but when it is recollected that the population of the
country has been vastly thinned by emigration, we
may surely assume that some classes are in a thriving
position when the consumption of the comforts of
this world is increased, while the number
of consumers is diminished. The increase
under the head of stamps is also consider-
able-133,9321. This would indicate a marked
improvement in the mercantile transactions
of the empire, and should, therefore, be regarded
with satisfaction. In the Customs revenue there is a
falling-off of 84,7521.; but this is far more than
compensated without reference to the Excise, by the
increase of 53,6581. on the property and income-tax,
by the increase of 26,000/. on the Post-office, and by
the increase of 130,2371. on the miscellaneous esti-
mates. However gratifying may be this retrospect
of our financial system for the past year, there is
something still more gratifying behind. On the
last quarter of the year we find there has been an
actual increase of revenue over the same quarter of
the year 1851 of 28,9291., and this increase, be it
observed, is mainly attributable to the Excise and
Stamp duties, the increase on the former being no
less than 163,9011., and on the latter 96,8571., while
the Customs exhibit a decrease on the same quarter
of no less than 298,2641. The two former items
speak something for the comfort and prosperity of
the people, and for the activity of the internal trade
of the country. What shall we say of the decrease
on the Customs ? We perceive that a weekly co-
temporary attributes the falling off to the supposition
that the Customs were last year more than usually
remunerative in consequence of the Great Exhibition.
We cannot think this by any means a satisfactory
explanation, for everything exhibited came in duty
free; but any reason whatever, no matter bow flimsy,
is preferable to allowing it for one moment to be sup-
posed that free trade had anything to do with it.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—AII that can be expected, and all that
has been aimed at of late, in the revision of our na-
tional burden, is to reduce them just so much as to
give the public some perceptible relief without neg-
lecting the paramount duty of wiping off a respectable
instalment of our debt. In the selection of the relief
to be given, the great secret is to repeal those taxes
which happen to be most felt, but whose removal will
not produce a corresponding gap in the revenue.
That these conditions have been fulfilled by the se--
veral last sessions the Quarterly Statement of the
Revenue, published on Saturday, is sufficient proof.
The experiment has been made of reductions estimated
to amount to millions, and the result is that the re-
venue is scarcely affected, and we are paying every
year several millions of our national debt. To begin
with the comparison of the quarter just ending with
the corresponding quarter of last year; in the
first place, we are struck with a diminution in
the Customs to the extent of 298,264/. This is partly
owing to a considerable reduction in the duties upon
sugar and timber, and partly to the irregularities of
commerce, which tell greatly on the comparison of
such short periods as quarters, for an example of
which we need only refer to the previous quarter,
viz., that ending July 5, 1852, which exhibited an
increase to the extent of 183,9461. In the quarter's
Excise there is an increase of 163,9011, which tells
its own tale. In the Stamps, too, there is an increase
of 96,8571., showing the greater activity of trade. In
the assessed taxes of the quarter there is little altera-
tion ;in the receipts of the property-tax there is an
increase of 45,4451., balanced, as it happens, by a de-
crease of 45,0001. in the income of the iost-office.
The result is a net decrease of 53,5241. in the ordi-
nary revenue of the quarter. The comparison is evi-
dently disturbed by the purely accidental fluctuations
of trade, for the receipts of the ordinary revenue are
still more than 70,0001. in advance of those for the quarter
ending October 10, 1850, notwithstanding the im-
mense reductions in the iaterval. On taking into
account the extraordinary items of revenue, the result
is an increase of 28,929/. in this quarter compared
with the corresponding one last year. In the com-
parison of the whole year just ended with that end-
ing October 10, 1851, the Customs show a decrease
of 84,752/., a figure very far below the estimate of
the reductions recently come into force. In the
Excise there is an increase of 114,1851.; and in
Stamps, of 133,9321. The decrease under the taxes
gives us at least a near approximation to the loss
sustained by the substitution of the inhabited house-
duty for the window-tax. It is 1,157,2011.; about
what was anticipated. The year's property-tax ex-
hibits an increase of 53,6381.—50 me comfort to those
who read in the declining receipts of this tax the
approaching ruin of England. The year's receipts
under the Post-office, the Crown lands, and Mis-
cellaneous items, are severally 26,0001., 50,000/.,
and 130,0001. more than in the previous year. In the
year's ordinary revenue there is thus a net decrease of
733,9411., which, though a large sum, is less than half
the estimated loss by the repeal of the window duties
and the other remissions lately come into operation.
On taking into account the extraordinary items, this
decrease is reduced to 437,3971., owing to the repay-
ment of advances, a matter on which the parties as-
sisted with loans, as well as the public, cannot be too
warmly congratulated. We presume that we shall
not now have the improvement of the country denied
simply because there is a decrease at the foot of the
columns. No reasonable being can expect taxes to be
lopped off by millions at a time, and the revenue to
be wholly unaffected. If the loss to the revenue is
much less than the gain to the public, that is all the
prosperity we can possibly desire—it is at least all
that our financiers ever reckoned upon.
CHRONICLE.—The Quarterly Revenue Returns,
made up to the evening of Saturday, the 9th instant,
are of a highly satisfactory character. 'The decrease
of 298,264 on the Customs during the quarter just
ended, as compared with the corresponding quarter of
last year, is fully explained by the unusually exten-
sive importations which took place during the summer
of 1851, and by the extra consumption resulting
from the Great Exhibition. Some reductions of
duties have also come into operation since that pe-
riod; but the main cause of the diminished receipts
for the past three months is undoubtedly to be sought
in the fact to which we have alluded—viz., that, from
special circumstances, the importations during a por-
tion of 1851 were of extraordinary magnitude. The
truth of this explanation is sufficiently shown by the
Return itself, from which it will be seen that the de-
crease in the Customs for the year is only 84,7521.; and,
considering the increase which is at present taking
place in certain leading branches of our import trade,
there is every reascn to anticipate that the aggregate
Customs revenue of 1852 will be fully equal to that of
1851. But the principal feature of the present Return
is the large increase of 163,9011., or 4 per cent., no
the quarter, in the Excise revenue. It must be re-
membered that this augmentation is not owing to the
imposition of any new duties, but that it arises wholly
from the increased consumption, by the great body of
the people, of articles of comfort and luxury. And it
must further be recollected that the standard of com-
parison is that particular quarter of 1851 when the
influence of the Exhibition was most felt in the de-
mand for exciseable articles. In other words, the
country is at this moment in so prosperous and
thriving a state that the Excise revenue—which is by
common consent regarded as a peculiarly faithful
index to the condition of the people—rises four per
cent. beyond the amount which it realized, under ex-
ceptionably favourable circumstances, twelve months
ago. In the Stamps also there is an increase for
the quarter, of no less than 96,8571.—a further
proof of the activity of the commerce and industry
of the country in all its branches. We say, in
all its branches, for so important an addition to
this item of the revenue indicates, not only that
transactions are rapidly multiplying among the
trading classes, but likewise that there is a brisk
demand for land, houses, and those other objects of
investment which absorb the floating wealth of a pros-
perous community. The taxes exhibit a small de-
crease of 5,8101. on the quarter—arising, we believe
wholly, from the changes connected with the window
duties. It will, however, be seen from the Return
that only a trifling proportion of this branch of the
national income is received in the April and October
quarters—the principal collections being accounted
for in January and July. In the Property-tax we
find an increase of 45,4451.; whilst the Post-office
shows a decrease of 45,0001. on the quarter, with an
increase of 26,0001. on the year. Under the heads of
Crown Lands and Miscellaneous, we find no sub-
stantial variation, as regards the return for the past
three months, from the corresponding period of last
year. In the Repayments of Advances, however, there
is the considerable increase of 68,7871. on
measure°, the quarter
—a result which is probably due, in a
to the present low rate of interest. Striking a ba-
lance of all the items of increase and decrease, the re-
sult is, that the revenue for the three months just
ended exceeds, by 28,929/. the amount received during
the quarter ending the 10th October, 1851. Passing
from the comparison of the two quarters of which we
have spoken, to examine the results for the two years
respectively ending the 10th October, 1851 and 1852,
we find similar indications of national prosperity and
well-being. In the Customs, as we have said, there
is a small decrease on the year of 84,752/. ; but in the
Excise there is an increase of 114,1851. The Stamps
show an increase of 133,9321.; the Property-tax of
53, 658/. ; and the Post-office of 26,0001. The Crown
Lands have yielded 50,0001. more during the past
year than during the preceding one ; and under the
title Miscellaneous we find an augmentation of
130,2471. There is also an increase of 345,9851.
in Repayment of Advances. With the ex-
ception of the casual decrease in the Customs,
which we have already explained, the only de-
crease on the year is in the Taxes—under which
head, in consequence of the abolition of the window
duties, the falling off is 1,157,2011. The general
result of the Return, as regards the year, is a decrease
of 437,397/. ' • but if we leave out of view the diminu-
tion which has taken place, from specific and foreseen
causes, in the Taxes, it will be found that the net
increase in the Total Ordinary revenue for the past
twelve months has not been less than 423,2601. We
have again, therefore, to appeal to the Revenue
Returns published under Lord Derby's Administra-
tion, as furnishing a decisive refutation of that
Protectionist creed on the strength of which he was
alone enabled to form a party and a Government.
We have latterly ceased to hear of the Trade
Returns being " cooked," and it has been considered
discreet to desist from seeking signs of national
decay in facts which afford the plainest evidence of
national progress. It is certainly unfortunate for
the Ministers and their supporters that each new
Revenue Return presents precisely the same diffi-
culties to a Protectionist critic.
HERALD.—We have before us the Revenue-
tables for the year ending on Saturday evening, which
will be found in another column, and, considering the
large reductions which have been made in the taxa-
tion of the country, we connot look upon the present
return in any other light than most satisfactory to
the public. In those instances in which the accounts
exhibit a deficit, that deficit is easily explained, with-
out exciting the slightest apprehension as to the re-
sources of the country; while, on the other hand, it
is gratifying to reflect that those items which exhibit
a surplus are precisely those from which may be in-
ferred the progressive increase in the means of the
community. It is true that there is a decrease on the
h that revenue of the year, as compared wit tof 1851,
of 437,397/., but this is to be attributed to the falling-
off,
in the produce of the taxes, amounting to
remember
less a sum than 1,157,2011.
that this is the first year following thne repeal
relme ofm the
window-tax, this deficit will not appear sur-
prising, and, at all events, it presents us with no in-
dication whatever with respect to the increased or
decreased comforts of the people. Not so the Excise,'

BIRKENHEAD LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE

JUNCTION.

An extraordinary general meeting of this company
was held at Monk's Ferry Hotel, Birkenhead, on
Saturday, for the purpose of considering terms for an
agreement between this company and the London and
North-Western Railway Company.
Mr. J. BANCROFT (the chairman of the company)
presided, and before proceeding to the more imme-
diate business of the day, intimated that on the appli-
cation of Mr. Winch an injunction had been issued
by the Court of Chancery, the object of which was to
restrain the present proceedings. The injunction had
been served upon the board just before the meeting,
but he was glad to inform the proprietors that it did
not interfere with the objects and intentions of the
board ; and that it was not necessary to alter, in any
degree, what it had been determined to recommend
to the shareholders that day.
The notice having been read by Mr. B. LLOYD, the
solicitor to the company,
The CHAIRMAN went on to state the objects of the
meeting, and to remark that no agreement had been
made or signed. Verbal proposals had been made,
and, as far as the two boards were concerned, agreed
to; and in accordance with the pledge which he
made at the last meeting, those proposals were now
laid before the shareholders for their acceptance, or
otherwise. If accepted the directors would be then
instructed to carry them out without involving the
company in any litigation whatever. The terms
which the London and North-Western Company
were prepared to give this company were four per
cent., and to enter into a working arrangement in
the terms of the resolution which would shortly
be proposed to secure such an amount forthwith, until
an Act of Parliament could be obtained to secure
the rent in perpetuity. It was needless, the chair.
man further said, to enter into extended statements,
since parties present who bad interests adverse to
those of the shareholders would be very glad to take
advantage of any loose observations to bring against
the company in Chancery, or elsewhere.—(Hear,
hear.) The proposition which he had indicated was
a very simple one, one of the merits of which the
shareholders would be able to appreciate at once
without discussion. The resolution which, founded
upon the foregoing proposals, he moved was as
follows : _ . .

In addition to the testimony before adduced, Mr.
Tate, clerk at the Cranbrook branch of the London
and County Bank, deposed that the prisoner Watts,
since November last, had no funds there ; and Mr.
Charles Capon, of the London and County Bank
Lombard-street, stated that he had no effe:ts there.
Having heard the whole of the evidence at consi-
derable length, Mr. Elliot said that there could not be
the slightest doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner
Watts, and that Perry had also a guilty knowledge
from what had been told to him by Mr. Hurrell.
Grensell hnd been guilty of false representations by
stating to Mr. Gillies and Mr. Carbet, who had
changed the cheque, that he had been sent by his
father, and he should therefore send all three before 11
jury. . -

The prisoners were then fully committed to take
their trial at the Central Criminal Court, but they
were told they might be liberated on good bail.
Amongst the pipers found on Watts was the follow'
ing, in his own handwriting, and which was no doubt
intended for insertion in the newspapers, to put the
officers off the scent :

" The chairman having reported that in an interview
he has had with the directors of the London and North-
Western Railway Company, they have expressed their
willingness to take, under the authority of Parliament,
a lease of the undertaking of the Birkenhead, Lanca-
shire, and Cheshire Junction Railway, at a rent equal to
4 per cent., with the option of redeeming the rent by a
purchase of the undertaking at par; and that until an
Act of Parliament be obtained to enter into a contract
with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junc-
tion Railway Company for the division and apportion-
ment of the tolls and charges to be taken and made upon
their respective railways for the traffic passing over the
same, Resolved, That this meeting approves of such au
arrangement, and authorises the directors to effectuate it
by a formal agreement or agreements, and to affix the
company's common seal thereto."
Mr. BROWN seconded the resolution.
blr. KNOX (Great Western) remarked that this was
the first time the proprietors had been called upon to
give such extensive powers to the board. Without
speaking for or against the sufficiency of the terms
proposed by the London and North-Western, he
(Mr. Knox) thought it was of the utmost importance
to the shareholders that they should be fully assured
that such terms would be secured to them, and that
they were not going to enter into an agreement which
it would be in the power of the London and North-
Western, or any shareholder in that company, to upset
after it was sealed. The agreement, he contended,
should be prepared before the seal of the company was
fixed to it, and submitted to the proprietors ; and he
should therefore move, as an amendment, that the
meeting be adjourned to Saturday, the 23d inst., and
that in the meantime the agreement proposed to be
entered into be printed and circulated amongst the
proprietors.
Mr. ROY (Great Western) seconded the amend-
ment.

The CHAIRMAN was delighted with Mr. Knox's
observation as to the " powers which the board was
not accustomed to ask ;" because his own board had
asked and exercised such powers.—(Laughter.) Mr.
Knox did well to make such a distinction in favour
of the Birkenhead Company. The Chairman then
intimated that proxies, far greater in number than he
had anticipated, had been lodged with the board. In
his own name he held proxies representing nearly a
million, or one-half the entire property.
Mr. CATTERAL charged Mr. Knox and his sup-
porters with having interests entirely adverse to
those of the Birkenhead Company, and reprobated
strongly the conduct of gentlemen who came time
after time to those meetings to support their own and
not the company's ends.
Mr. ROY defended himself warmly from the as-
persions which he deemed Mr. Catteral had thrown
upon himself and Mr. Knox, and was proceeding to
enter into a detail of
the original position of the Bir-
kenhead Company, in order to show that the part
which he and other Great Western shareholders had
taken and were taking was justifiable, when he was
desired by
The CHAIRMAN to keep to the question absolutely
before the meeting.
Mr. ROY maintained that it was the question.
The CHAIRMAN insisted, amidst considerable cheer-
ing, that Mr. Roy's remarks had no force or applica-
tion in regard to the present position of the company.
Mr. ROY then contended that the second agreement
with the Great Western was still binding with the
Birkenhead Company.
After some further discussion,
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, for which,
however, only Messrs. Knox, Roy, and a third share-
holderori held up their hands. The original motion
was then put, and carried by a large tnajty, '
together with the following :---" That the directors
be and they are hereby authorised to apply to Par-
liament in the ensuing session, in conjunction with
the London and North-Western Railway Company,
