THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

The fuoiry
itanttahse, financial year and
quarter
Revenue
ending returns t
he 5 th
July areT of a, very
satisfactory character,
affording the most conclusive
evidence of the general welfare and prosperity. It is
true that there is a falling off in the ordinary sources
of revenue, both on the
year and quarter, but these
are immediately explained by the reductions that
have already taken place in the stamp duties and the
taxes on light and air, while the alterations in those
on sugar and timber have produced no perceptible
effect, or at least have not led to
the Customs' receipts. We may reasonably anticipate,
too that these favourable indications
will be continued
for some time. Thanks to the gold discoveries in
California and Australis, we have at
lating medium adequate to the wants and • • exigencies
of the country. The industrial machine is therefore
continued in motion. Men able and willing
to work
are tolerably certain of obtaining employment at fair
wages, and being through it enabled to provide for
themselves and families the humble comforts which
should always be within their reach. And as, after
all, the working man is the chief contributor to the
national exchequer, whenever he is well off and in
constant remunerative occupation, the effects become
speedily perceptible in the increased produce of the
national taxation.
In the Customs we find that there is an improve-
ment on the year and quarter—on the former of
296,7021., and on the latter of 183,9461., and this
notwithstanding the reductions on the sugar and tira-
ber duties, already referred to.
There has also been a smaller quantity of corn im-
ported, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last
year, which nearly supplied the home markets with
the home produce. The improvement on the other
items is, therefore, the more remarkable, and a new
illustration is afforded of the almost miraculous elas-
ticity of the national resources.
In the Excise there is a diminution on the year of
13,205/., but an increase on the quarter of 23,7061.
The former way partly be accounted for by the fact
that large arrears of hop duties were collected in the
former year which could not fairly be considered as
parts of the ordinary annual revenue. There is,
however, nothing to abate the gratification which
arises at the improvement on the quarter, of what
has been most justly termed " the index to the
Prosperity of the working classes,"—an improvement
the more remarkable when we consider that the cor-
responding quarter of last year included the two first
months of the Exhibition, and the month preceding
that event, when the greatest activity was required for
the necessary preparations. •
In Stamps there has been a decrease on the year of
y 31713891., but an increase on the quarter of 101,3341.
It must be borne in mind that after, the Stamp Act of
1850 received the Royal assent, the several distrie
butor3 suffered their stocks to run very low in order
to take full advantage of the remission. The conse-
quence was that the quarters ending the 10th October,
1 1850, and the sth ;Tannery, .1851, were exceedingly
productive. There must have been great activity in
trade and commerce to account for the very large
improvement on the last quarter.
In the Assessed Taxes there is of course a large
falling off on both periods. it was estimated that
the substitution of the house-duty for the window-
tax would occasion a loss to the revenue of two-
thirds of the receipts, or, in " round numbers, about
1,200)000/.
This estimate proved more than usually
accurate, as we find the falling off on the year to be
1,172,9791,1 while that on the quarter—which, how-
ever, in this instance,
; may be regarded as the
--half-
year—is, 541,524/. It will thus be seen that the
compensating principle is already in operation, and
we have
no doubt that when the bouses now building
are assessed to the duty, the loss will ba very consi-
siderably reduced.
In the Prothere is an improvement on
pe t -taxv
the yearof - r - ' • • h
10,4851. Ttits le t 8 wore aatigactory; as
for aocee time past we here had ‘ to notice - a steady

reduction in the proceeds of this impost, which is the
index to the prosperity of the middle classes, as the
Excise is to that of the working-men. The tide is at
length turned, slowly enough in the first instance, but
it is beginning to run more rapidly as the increase of
no less than 80,1101. a quarter will testify. Should
a more equitable apportionment be sanctioned by the
new Parliament, so as to remove the deep sense of
injustice that induces many persons to evade the
impost, we have no doubt that the flood will flow
very rapidly in the right direction.
The Post-office still flourishes, thanks to the care
and attention of ROWLAND HILL and the judicious
improvements introduced under his auspices. The
increase on the year is no less than 150,0001., and
that notwithstanding the additional facilities
that are almost daily brought into operation.
There is a falling off on the quarter of 10,0001., but
we must recollect that the preceding period was that
in which the opening of the Exhibition occurred, and
that the extraordinary correspondence thereby occa-
sioned led to a very considerable augmentation of
this branch of the revenue.

In tip Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of
70,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001., and on Miscel-
laneous of 140 6151. on the year, and 110,9481. on the
quarter. Of the extraordinary items, we find that
there is, under the head of Imprest and other Mouess,
a decrease of 60,3921., but an improvement of 72 9181.
nn the quarter; while the Repayment of Advances
were so much more punctually rendered as to exhibit
an increase of 148,640/, on theyear, and of 93,2431. on the
quarter. Oa the whole, the results are very decisive
as to the benefits of free trade, affording the greatest
encouragement to a further advance in the same
direction.

The General Election may be said to have at
length fairly commenced. This day not merely
thirty-three, but actually fifty-one, places are opened
to candidates for their nomination. Several of these
places, moreover, are of peculiar and, some of them,
of extraordinary importance. Conspicuous, of course,
amongst these constituencies are the metropolitan,
and at the bead of these is, of course, the con-
stituency of the city of London. By the proceed-
ings taking place this afternoon in the Guildhall
of the capital the majority of the Liberal
electors throughout the country will in a great
measure be influenced. Of the happy result of these
proceedings to the cause of reform there can be no
sort of doubt whatever. Nevertheless, we cannot
but fear that, with all their recent activity, the free-
trade possessors of the franchise have not sufficiently
well reflected upon the importance of the result of the
present elections to the interests of the nation at large
both in the mother country and in her vast colonial
possessions. We speak here in reference not only to
the electors of the metropolis, but to the whole
body of electors throughout the United
Kingdom. 'With a considerable proportion of the
multitude we conceive that it has not been borne
clearly enough in mind that the consequences of the
present struggle are likely to affect for good or evil
the general institutions of Great Britain, not only
for a while, but through a protracted futurity, not
merely in reference to the existing, but in regard to
many future generations. Such, no doubt, must
invariably be the case, more or less assuredly, upon
every similar occasion=but never has it been more
so than at the present moment when the question
submitted to the country is extended from the
triumph of either Whigs or Tories to the victory of
Reform or of Retrogression. That, in fact, as we
have before now intimated, is the problem remaining
to be solved by the community through the
medium of the new Parliament. Unfortunately
for the Liberal interest, the antagonists of
reform possess the advantage always accruing
to those who chance to be in office at
the period of a dissolution: Unfortunately we
say, because it would be absurd to doubt
that the circumstance of Lord DERBY being at the
head of the Government at this juncture, will mate-
rially improve the position of his supporters on pre-
senting themselves to the population. Inasmuch as
the opponents of the popular interests are in power
at this moment, it is indisputable, therefore, that they
possess an advantage over the Reformers generally,
but more especially over the adherents of the late
Administration. Yet, in spite of this, we feel not less
firmly assured of the ulterior success of her MAJESTY'S
Opposition. Whatever doubts may be entertained
upon this head will at any rate, we rejoice to think,
be by no means of long continuance. Within a com-
paratively brief interval the uncertainty of affairs
will be definitively removed. It will then be per-
ceived whether the people of these islands are prepared
to forego the blessings of the course opened to them
by the principal statesmen of England, who by their
genius and their patriotism have, during the last
quarter of a century, guided the operations of the
British Government.

. _
Foremost among these distinguished Adminis-
trators, both in genius and in patriotism,
without one moment's doubt, the Right
Honourable Baronet, who has presented himself
to the electors of Carlisle in his capacity as one Of
the most illustrious of the Liberal candidates. Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, by his many great Parliamentary
achievements during the interval above specified, has
earned for himself not merely the respect of all earnest
Reformers, but has entitled himself in a peculiar
degree also to look for their gratitude and their ad-
miration. His name has appeared conspicuously upon
all those memorable occasions where improvements
have been introduced into the machinery of the
Constitution. In 1827 he helped to repeal the Test
and Corporation Acts—thereby conducing in a re-
markable manner to the extension of freedom to the
municipalities. In 1829—as he has nobly and con-
sistently done within the last three years—be took up
a distinguished position, in defiance of very extraor-
dinary obloquy, in defence of the great principles of
civil and religious liberty. In 1831 he assisted in
carrying out those large measures of reform which
were advocated at that time in the Upper House by.
Earl GREY, and in the Lower House by Lord Joins
RUSSELL. And in 1835 be again did good service to
the country by advancing anew the cause of munici-
pal improvement. In 1842 he commenced with Sir
ROBERT PEEL those admirably graduated and corns
Prebensive changes in the tariff, which in 1846 were
Consummated by the crowning victory of the Free
Trade principles. In short, there has been scarcely
Single reform of any importance whatsoever, which
has not received during the last five-and-twenty years
the direct and energetic support of the Right Hon.
Baronet. Upon his shoulders, moreover, has fallen the
mantle of that illustrious statesman, who immeasur-
ably more than WALPOLE has entitled himself to be re-
membered
i as the Great Sir ROBERT. As the acknow-
reds•e. ti
6 chieftain of the associates of Sir ROBERT
PEEL
it is obvious that Sir JAMES GB,AHAM would
command the attention of his fellow-countrymen.
But,
added to the credit redounding to him as the
companion and political successor of the departed
statelnhan, are those honourable circumstances re-
flecting glory upon himself personally—those cir-
cti,lllB, taaces which it has afforded us such peculiar
satisfaction to enumerate. At one period it was con-
sidered that Sir JAMES GRAHAM bad acted treason-
sabilym. to the Reformers, in taking • office under
"sit; and identifying himself with the great
party of
the Conservatives. Viewing events with
the calmness of a retrospective scrutiny, it is impos-
sible at this hour to regret the course pursued on the
occasion referred to by the Right Hon. Baronet the
late Member for Ripon, and now a candidate for the
representation of Carlisle. It enabled him to aid
more effectually than at any previous time in intro- ,
ducing a series of enormous improvements in the
Constitution. Those improvements conducted him
back by a natural path to a fellowship with
his former (Liberal) associates. With them he
is now more than ever identified—and Carlisle will
do honour to itself by paying that tribute to his
services in the cause of reform which must to him be,
at this crisis, of all the most acceptable—
namely, by electing him with an overwhelm-
ing majority as their representative. To-
morrow is fixed at Carlisle, as well
as at
fifty•eight other places, as the day of new atio

reaching us early on the first day of nomi-
nation. If such, however, cannot be the
equally satisfactory result of the proceedings
to-morrow at Carli-le, at any rate the Liberal electors
there may redeem their position by returning Sir
JAMES GRAHAM o❑ the polling day by a majority
worthy of a candidate so distinguished. Ripidly as
the days speed by, wo shall now have to notify the
results of the various elections throughout the
country—elections which, with every moment's
maturer reflection, we regard as more and more likely
to turn out advantageously to the cause of the
Reformers.

"FHE FRENCH. itEPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Tee Corsaire has received a notification to the fol-
lowing effect :—" The Minister of Police, consid-ring
;bat Article 32 of the organic law on the press of
February 17, 1852, says—' After one condemnation
for contravention or offence against the laws on the
press, of the responsible editor of a journal, the Go-
vernment has the power, during the two months fol-
lowing that condemnati,n, to declare either its tem-
porary suspension or suppression'—Decrees, that the
publication of the Corsaire is suspended for two
months from the 4th instant." The Journal des De-
buts, after giving the above decree, says—" We are
r-quested to state that the Corsaire will resume its
publication as soon as the two months of suspension
nave expired."
The Corsaire is a Legitimist journal, somewhat
pungent in style. It is at present under prosecution,
at the suit of M. DE LA GUERONIERE, the editor at the
Government organ, the Pays, for libel.

The law for the definitive settlement of the budget
of 1848, lately adopted by the Legislative Body and
sanctioned by the Senate, is promulgated in the
Moniteur of yesterday morning.
Tee French fleet, which left Algiers on the 24th
ult., was on the following day off Palma. On its
passage it fell in with the English squadron under
Admiral DUNDAS, consisting of seven sail of the line
and six frigates. A smart shock of earthquake was
felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th.
Some of the journals state that the Prince DE LA
MOSHOWA has asked for permission to serve in the
army of Africa, and that his request has been ac-
ceded to. _ _

The Municipal Council at its last sitting had to
deliberate on the re-organization of the bands of the
National Guards. Although reduced to five corps,
the bands will cost 18,0001. a year more than when
there were twelve legions on foot. This increase has
been consented to in order to encourage the art and
give assistance to artistes.
The Municipal Council of Toulon has just voted
an address of thanks to the PRESIDENT of the Re-
public for the solicitude which he has displayed in
securing to that town a railway communication
with Marseilles. The Chamber of Commerce has
also voted an address of a similar character ; and, in
addition, requests the PRINCE to visit Toulon during
his approaching tour in the South of France.
When the news reached Cherbourg that the Legis-
lative Body had adopted the Bill for forming a rail-
way to that town, a great number of houses, and the
ships in the port, displayed the national flag in token
of rejoicing; and at the night there was a general il-
lumination, dancing, and the firing of guns. Toe
Municipal Council in its last sitting voted an address
of thanks to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic,
and it resolved that a bronze statue of the Emperor
NAPOLEON should be erected on the Quai Napoleon.
The Journal des Debats states that forty-six
Bishops out of the eighty-one in France have signi-
fied their approb ition of the letter written some snort
time since by the Bishop of ORLEANS, in favour of em•
ploying the Greek .and Latin classics as hand-books
in education.

" It may be remembered," says the Journal de
Rouen, that, on June 6, the agents of the Sate took
possession of the Chateau d'Eu and its dependencies,
and, in consequetce, that the sale of the furniture
which was to take place the next day was prevented.
We understand at present that the opposition then
made to the sale bas been removed, and that the fur-

The accounts from the different manufacturing
districts are pretty good. A fair amount of busi-
ness in the different branches of silk, wool, and cot-
ton is said to be doing. The•harvest promises well,
although there are rumours of injury having been
done to the wheat by the late long-continued rains,
which may be exaggerated. The vine is reported in
good condition, and there is, on the whole, promise
of an abundant year.
The Marseilles journals state that for some days
past, a vast number of funny fish, estimated at be-
tween four and five thousand, have been off that
coast. The fishermen immediately united, and
caught between 500 and 600 a day. The average
weight of each fish was found to be between 30
and 401bs.

Artiz ,n, Bushranger, Waverley and Peacock. Clinclle;
,
and Poetess are very doubtful. As Storyteller is se,
going to run, in PEACOCK and W AVERLEY, I have ID
doubt we shall see the first and second horses, wihe
Artiz4n third, Tophana and Bushranger bringing sP Liar
rear. It will be as well to remark that the field
the Chesterfield on Thursday, it is presumed, will CO,
aist of the follewing:—War- Whoop, Bridget, Fersnierot
llagebert, following:—War-
by Lanercost out of Baleitie, TharYglerr
Margaret of Aejou, North Pole, and perhaps Oa uof
mima filly and Nell Gwynne colt. Frenzy, Os'l
the absent list.
SPlit"te filly, Grapeshot, Mocassin, and Haynsu are °p
Of the sport at LANCASTER
on Wednesday and Thursday I shall say a few words
reference to the three prit.cipal stakes.
The Handicap Plate of 30 soya., one mile and I die
lance, will very probably fall to the lot of EmeryetooF
Puritan; I should have fancied Sanita for it, but I bellBbo
she will not be sent; if she does go I must award bet
preference.
The Lancaster Cup of 100 soya. in specie, added
handicap sweepstakes of 10 soya. each, 5 ft, and 00'110
if declared, two miles and a distance, will probabilo
contested by seven or eight, including Lindriok
it is rumoured, left home for Lancaster instead of vv'
00
tester), the Proctor, and Wilmont. I have no hesitatipa
in awarding the race to LINDRICIE or the PnocToit se
if Wilmont and Weatbergage are in close attendance 0A
the above two, it will realise my idea of the race. e
The Revival Handicap has got vary nearly the OP'7O
entry as that for the Lancaster Cup, and as the distself
is pretty ',early the same (two mile.) it must neceoto;,
depend materially on the running of the former, 00
€IIP-ntly comment is out of place.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. The market
closed without spirit. Prices remain without alteration,
except common Surat, which were nearly id. per pound
lower. The sales comprised 4,000 American and 100

Upon the stare of the Silk Market during the past
month Mr. H. W. Eaton reports as follows:

" The delivery of silk still shows an excess in the
average, with a considerable decrease in the stock, as
compared with the same period last year. In China
operations have been extremely limited, but in Bengal a
far better business has been done than is usual during
the week following these sales. The demand for the
finest s'zes for the continent still continues. In the
Italian market there is very little doing, and the stock
The Brutias and Persians received during June
have sold freely at rather improved rates. The un
cleared stock of Brutias consists of about 160 bales, and
of Persians equal to 600 ballots."

nished

Great temptation exists in the present plethoric state
of the money market to press on the notice of the pub-
lic, with a view to obtain subscriptions, several foreign
railway projects, which, however good in themselves,
might judiciously be placed second to other undertak-
ings of home and colonial importance. There can be
very little doubt of the necessity of improved communi-
cation in Canada, and as little of the want of capital in
the West Indies. The Australian settlements may,
perhaps, be shortly able to execute, with
the slightest possible aid, their own public
works ; but experience shows us that, able or
not, lccal capitalists do nut usually embark in doubtful
speculations; they prefer, as a general rule, to risk
their money in enterprises of a character perhaps
equally hazardous, though more remote. In this way
we must account for so many new United States
tehemes,„including canals and railways, being obtruded
upon u.; just now. Some may be good, others we feel
assured are the reverse, end since there is a difficulty in
discriminating, our advice would simply be to avoid
them all. During the present month, the

the reduction of taxation, would have raised

a sufficient reason why speculation is at pre-
