THE REVENUE.

The revenue accounts for the current quarter, which
will be made up on Tuesday next, will be published in a
new form, and will include, for the first time, a publica-
tion of the revenue received from Ireland, in a table si-
multaneously with the rest of the United Kingdom.
This plan will give more complete information than has
hitherto been the case. The quarterly returns will be
made up to Tuesday night next, the 10th inst., as usual.
The time is sufficiently near to enable the result to be
anticipated with some approach to accuracy.
We are able to state that the return, both for the year
and the quarter, compared with the 10th October, 1853,
will be most satisfactory. This will be more especially
the case with the quarter, in which the total increase
will amount to something like 700,0001. to 800,0001,
sterling. In the Customs' returns for the quarter there
will be a decrease, as might naturally have been ex-
pected, from many causes, amongst the most obvious of
which are the still•continued reductions in so many items
of Customs revenue, and the almost total absence of the
duty upon the importation of grain, which, although
placed at the nominal amount of ls. a quarter, had in
1853 realised a considerable sum.

The Excise for the quarter will show an increase of
more than 300,0001., a great portion of which, no doubt,
is to be set down to tho increase in the malt tax, which
will be still more apparent in the q'uarter upon which we
are about to enter, which is the great malting period of
the year.
Both in Stamps and Taxes it is probable that there
will be a decrease; but if so it will be to a very small
extent. _ _

In the Property Tax the additions rendered necessary
by the requirements of the war ara now beginning to be
felt. The increase will be very considerable.

But a result perhaps more satisfactory—because it is
produced by the lowering instead of raising of imposts—
will be found in the Post-office return, which will reach a
considerable sum, comparatively, for the quarter, and
for the year will fall little short of 300,000/.
Although not to so large an extent as.on the quarter,
the returns for the year will leave no ground for despon-
dency.
In the Customs for the year there will be a decrease,
as well as for the quarter, and for the same reasons as
stated above. But it will be for a smaller amount, and
not so severely felt.
The Excise will be better for the year, as well as for
the Trofter ; though not perhaps to so palpable an
extent.
In Stamps and Taxes there will be a small decrease.
In the case of the Stamps, the reductions and alterations
of last session are no doubt felt.
In the Property Tax there will be an increase in the
year, as well as in the quarter, although perhaps not to
so large an amount.
Upon the whole, there is every reason for congratula-
tion that the exactions of a most expensive struggle
have neither diminished our resources, increased our
national obligations, nor given us the smallest reason to
distrust or doubt the buoyancy of our sound and honest
financial system. —Observer.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Mining Journal of Saturday. )

MINES.—The improved tone of the mining market,
which we noticed a week or two since, still continues
and a fair average amount of business has been transacted
since our last. One or two discoveries and improvements
have also thrown more life into the market ; and we an-
ticipated, ere long, still greater reaction from the state of
depression which has so long weighed upon the market.
Sortridge Consols have been largely dealt in, and the
price has advanced from 45s to 655. In addition to the
winze the lode is now becoming very rich in the bottom
of the eastern shaft. The near proximity of this great
course of ore to North Wheal Robert has caused a
demand for shares ; the advance from 101. to 131., and
141; and few shares are to be met with even at advanced
rates. At the Trevelyan meeting it was resolved to
work the mine more vigorously ; and a call of lOs per
share was made. In North Crofty, a good business has
been doing, at 71 10s ; Rosewarne, 501 to 601. Mary
Anns in demand 351 to 361; North Basset, 181 lOs to
191 ; South Tamar, 81 15s to 91 5s ; West Caradon,
1871 lOs to 1921 lOs ; South Caradon, 2851; Cwm Dar-
ren 7s 6d to 10s; Devon Great Consols, 3201 ; Buller,
7251 to 750/ ; Basset, 5801 to 5901; Alfred Consols, 191
10s to 201. 10s ; West Alfred Consols, 241.
