THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.

Yesterday some Parliamentary returns were
issued relating to the public expenditure.
The expenditure for 1860-1, exclusive of the ex-
pense of fortifications, but including the vote in
1861-2 of £17,984 for excess of expenditure for re-
venue departments, was £72,810,043, from which
£288,218 can be deducted as drawback on wine,
charged on account of expenditure instead of being
deducted from revenue, leaving the expenditure at
£72,521,825.

The expenditure for 1861-2 (exclusive of fortifi-
cations) was £71,116,485, from which £278,044 is
deducted for votes for excesses of former years in
the army, Russian war, and revenue departments,
leaving the actual expenditure for the last year's
expenses at £70,838,441.

The estimated expenditure for 1862.3 (exclusive
of fortifications) is £70,000,000, which is re-
duced to £69,000,293 by the following deduc-
tions :—Amount included in the army esti-
mates, for the first time, on account of sums re-
payable out of the revenues of India, £730,000; also,
on account of increased number of cadets at
Sandhurst College, to be balanced by a correspond-
ing payment to the exchequer for contributions to
be received from students, £12,700; amount ad-
vanced out of the Customs revenue in 1861-2, for
excess of differential dues paid beyond the vote for
the year, to be repaid to revenue out of a vote to be
taken in the Miscellaneous Civil Estimatesfor 1862-3,
£66,304; additional provision included, for the first
time, in the estimated expenditure for 1862-3, per
Act 24 Viet., c. 3, for payment to the Bank of Eng-
land of the gross charge for the management of the
public debt, balanced by a corresponding amount
to be paid by the bank to the credit of revenue,
making the total of the deductions
x£919990:37700,
7and leaving the estimated expenditure for
the coming year, as we have said, £69,000,293.
In 1860-1, £.50,000 was expended on fortifica-
tions, and £3,190 of annuity created. In 1861-2,
£970,000 was expended for the same purpose, and
£61,559 annuity created. Thus the fortifications
hitherto have cost £1,020,000, with £64,748 of
annuity created. _

Tables of the receipts and expenditure for army
and militia services for the year ended March 31,
1861, were issued this morning, with "explanations"
of the causes of the excess of nearly £1,000,000 in
the expenditure on the ordinary items.
