QUARTERLY REVENUE ACCOUNTS.

An official intimation has been issued, stating that the
revenue accounts for the present and future quarters will
be published in the new and improved form, and Will
give the public more complete information than that
which has been contained in the statements hitherto
published.

" 1. The account of the revenue has been hitherto con-
fined to Great Britain ; the revenue received in Ireland
has never formed part of the accounts hitherto published ;
the accounts have therefore been deficient by upwards
Of four millions of net annual revenue. The account to
be published on the 11th October for the quarter ending
the 10th will be a complete account of the net revenue
of the United Kingdom. The results of fiscal legislation
will be better shown by a complete than by a partial
statement of revenue collected.
"2. The results of the comparison with the corres-
ponding quarter and year ending on the 10th October,
1853, will be shown as heretofore ; but as the financial
year, commencing in April, is the year of the budget,
the year for which the public expenditure is voted, and
the year of account, there will be added to this com-
parison, one showing the increase or decrease in the por-
tion of the financial year which shall have expired at the
termination of each quarterly account.
" 3. The account of the income and charge of the
Consolidated Fund has hitherto been a very partial
and imperfect one ; instead of showing the applica-
tion of the quarter's receipts from all sources, it
has been limited to the receipts and charges of
the Consolidated Fund in Great Britain, omitting
the income and charges fur Ireland, and suppress-
ing altogether those receipts which may have been ap-
propriated by Parliament ter the payment of other pub-
lic services than those charged permanently on the Con-
solidated Fund, The account to be published on the
11th October, and in future quarters, will shaw not only
the receipts derived from the ordinary revenue, from ira-
prest moneys, and from repayments, but will embrace
all extraordinary receipts, whether derived from tem-
porary or permanent loans, Exchequer Bills, or any
other moneys, applicable to the payment of public ser-
vices ; it will be a complete debtor and creditor state-
ment of all public moneys received in the quarter, and
of the appropriation of the same."
