The accounts of the quarter's revenue will be made up
on Tuesday evening next, the sth of July, the usual
quarterly period. In the absence of the tabular state-
ment, which cannot be made before that time, and as
there are always some changes, more or less, at the last
moment, it is impossible to speak by the book. But we
believe we may safely say, that the revenue for the
quarter ending the sth July, 1853, will show a large
increase, as compared with the corresponding quarter in
1852.

The Customs, it is expected, will exhibit a considerable
increase—indicating progressive activity in the commerce
of the country.
In the Excise the increase will be to so large an
amount as to show the continuous and steady advance
in general prosperity of the middle and lower classes of
the community.
Under the head of Stamps, no very large increase can
be looked for during the passing of the new Stamp Act.
The diminution of Receipts for Taxes and Property
Tax, if any, will probably be very slight.
A satisfactory increase may be expected in the Post_
office revenue.

The revenue for the year ending sth July, 1853, as
compared with the similar period in 1852, will show an
increase to a considerable amount in all the leading
items ; and the results altogether, as regards both the
quarter and the year, are expected to be most favourable.
These results are all the more gratifying when they
are found to accrue in the face of large reductions pro-
posed and carried out from year to year to the benefit
of the public, and giving to consumers a vast amount of
comfort and relief in almost every important item of ex-
penditure. The Customs increase in spite of the many
reductions, for which several entries at the Customs are
, held back, in order to avail of the reduced—or the re-
pealed—duty. The Excise, too, must have suffered by
the announcement of the repeal of the soap duty, which,
although not having taken place till the end of this
quarter, still, as being expected, must have tended to
wear out stocks, and to lessen the receipts payable to
the account of the inland revenue. The Customs, no
doubt, benefitted largely this quarter from the tea duties,
which, were held back for the 4d. reduction, and were
more than sufficient to counterbalance the casualties in
other articles held back for the last reduction of the
tariff. The buoyancy in the department of stamps shows
a most satisfactory amount of activity, particularly in
the current trade and commerce of the country—an ob-
servation that will apply to the continued and steady
increase of the Post-office receipts.
Everything indicates general prosperity, and confirms
the stability and the elasticity of our improved commer-
cial and financial system.—Observer.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

The fourth and last concert this season of the Royr..
Academy of Music, took place on Saturday last, at th. 2
Hanover-square Rooms. It was the best attended am;
the most successful of the season, and we were glad .t.,)
notice that the programme displayed a larger selection o
the compositions of students and ex-students than bas
been the case for some time. The most prominent o.
these, among the MS. works, were—a very clever over-
ture, entitled the Student's Dream, by Mr. Brinley
Richards ; a chorus, by Miss Charlotte Rowe ; a song,
with clarinet obligato, by Miss Ann Baird Spratt ;
a trio and chorus, of remarkable merit, by Mr. W.
Lovell Phillips ; an overture, by Mr. Cusins ;
_ _

song, by Mr. R. Thomase ; a part-song, by Mr.
B. Gilbert ; and a song, by Miss Jane Finel
The instrumentalists Mr. Cheshire, on the Karr;
in two movements from a well written concerto of ti -
late Parish Alvars ; Miss Fox, in the first movement
one by Hummel ; and Mr. M. Clementi in a violin col,
certino of Kalliwoda, were all, the last especially, entith
to praise. Mr. Arthur O'Leary performed on the pint
forte the first movement of a concertino by Sebastian Bad
in which he introduced a cadenza no less spirited thr
ingenious. The singers—Misses Jackson, Murie, BE
th a Stleet, Freeman, Amy Dolby, Bucklaud, and Hugh,
Messrs. Blake and Bolton—must be credited rather f
the pains they took generally than for the excellen,
they displayed individually.

PRUSSIA.

The war which threatens just now to break out
between Russia and the Western Powers who support
Turkey is represented by most as a struggle for political
and territorial aggrandisement on the part of the
former ; by others as the struggle between two rival
Christian Churches, each seeking increased influence in
the East ; it may also be represented as a struggle be-
tween restriction and freedom in commerce, between
prohibitive and free-trade duties. The commercial re-
sources of Turkey and the Danubian Principalities are
the prize which Russia longs to carry off from those
who have hitherto nearly excluded her.
As regards the statistics of Turkish commerce the
data are not readily to be found in any accessible or
authentic form ; but Otho Hubner, the editor of a sta-
tistical periodical here, has lately been at the trouble of
extracting from the Customs' entries of almost all other
States, in the year 1850, the amount of their imports
from, and exports to, Turkey and its dependencies, the
results of which are as follows :
Imports from Exports to
Turkey. Turkey.
England... 29,903,772 26,895,160
Austria 22,058,666 22,515,333
France 17,027,420 11,256,000
Russia ' 5,434,418 7,479,484
Belgium 293,330 1,036,533
Netherlands 571,360 458,000
Greece 1,312,500 333,000
United States 1,351,854 341,599
Hamburg 694,940 57,105
Bremen 70,601 5,636
Portugall 9,946
Prussian thalers 78,728,807 70,377,849 1

The Customs' accounts of other countries do not afford
anything like exact information, but as the port of Leg-
horn alone imports from Turkey to the amount of the
about 4,000,000 thalers, it may be assumed that, with
the addition of the trade to Spain, Italy, the Barbary
States, and to the coast of the Red Sea, the total im-
ports of TUrkey and the Danubian Principalities must
amount to 90,000,000 Prussian thalers (13,500,000/.),
and the exports to 100,000,000 of thalers (15,000,0001.)
The considerable amount which here figures under the
bead of Austria is due in a great measure to her being
the carrier and forwarding agent for the rest of Germany
as well as to herself. The amount which stands under
the head of Bremen and Hamburg is probably a very
small portion of the amount of business done by the
Zollverein with Turkey. Of the great Powers we see
that England's share in the Turkish trade is 37.5 per
cent. ; Austria's 29.5 ; France's 18.7 ; and Russia's 8.5.
In the struggle of commercial interests it is clear, thus,
that Russia has the most to win and the least to lose ;
for, whenever she possesses Constantinople, or even her
influence is preponderant there, there will be 40 time
lost in reversing the above proportions.

LATER FROM THE BRAZILS.

By the clipper-ship Oberon, Capt. Williams, which
arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have received later
news from the Brazils.
The Oberon sailed from Pernambuco on the 3d of
June, and has consequently made the run in 27 days
On the 4th spoke a large ship, supposed to be the Earl
of Egremont, with passengers, for Sydney, in lat. 5 38,
long. 24 29. On the 18th spoke the brig James, from
Bahia to Liverpool, in lat. 21 11 N, long. 41 W. On
the 30th spoke the brig William Nicholson, for London,
in lat. 49 48, long. 13 28. On the 31st ult., off Cork,
passed the brig William Punton, from Harbour Grace to
Liverpool, with loss of bowsprit and other damage,
having been in contact with a steamer.
The weather at Pernambuco was fine, and although
fever had made its appearance, it had not made much
progress.
Te arrivals of sugar were slow, and prices were very
stiff.

Cotton was also advancing in value, the last price
quoted being $5 800 per arroba.
Hides were quoted at 140 rs. per lb.
In freights the last rate done for the Channel, for
orders, was 455. to 475. 6d. Cotton 'to Liverpool, id.

life assurance and guarantee are combined.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

Life assurance, annuities, and endowments. Payments taken

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER a new writ was ordered
to be issued for the western division of Cornwall, in the
room of Mr. Pendarves.
PETITIONS.
Mr. E. BALL presented a petition from Manchester,
Complaining of the infringement of the Factory Act, and
praying for a new act.

Mr. MOODY presented several petitions from Bristol
against the Crystal Palace being opened on Sunday.
Mr. MIALL presented petitions from Liverpool,
Birkenhead, Salford, and other places against the Go-
vernment scheme of education.
Mr. WICKHAM presented a petition from Bradford
in favour of a Ten Hours Factory Bill.
Several petitions were presented to the same effect.
Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from York-
shire is favour of what is called " the People's Charter."
Mr. B. DENISON presented a petition from the
West Riding of Yorkshire against the opening of beer-
houses on Sunday.

Mr. R. PALMER presented a petition from Ply-
mouth against the inspection of Nunneries Bill.
PILOTAGE BILL.

Mr. TOLLEMACHE said the Pilotage Bill stood
first on the paper for to-morrow ; and as certain ship-
owners at Liverpool entertained considerable objection
to some part of it, he wished to know if it could
not be postponed for a few days, in order that
the hon. member for the borough might be present? At
this moment Liverpool was without any representative,
but a writ had hem issued, and in the course of a few
days the new members would be elected.
Mr. CARDWELL objected to postpone the bill on
the ground that the house had already decided by a
majority of three in favour of that part of it to which the
hon. member alluded.

Mr. TOLLEMACHE then gave notice that he would
move the postponement of the bill, when the order of
the day was read to-morrow for going into committee
upon it.

WOOL.

The next series of colonial wool sales is appointed to
commence on the 19th inst. At present 23,000 bales of
Australian, and 5,000 of Cape are advertised ; but the
quantity is expected to be increased by some 5,000 or
6,000 bales. By private contract, only a limited business
is doing, yet prices are well supported. Last week's
imports were 2,627 bales from Port Philip, 75 from Ant-
werp, 42 from Gibraltar, 17 from Ilamburgh, 8 from
Ostend, 1,800 from Sydney, 70 from Dunkirk, 32 from
Alexandria, and 9 from Boulogne.
SEEDS.

The arrivals of linseed continue good, whilst the demand

FRENCH PLAYS.

The re-appearance of M. Regnier, at the St. James's
Theatre has infused new life into the establishment, and
he has signalized the commencement of his present en-
gagement by a chef d'oeuvre of his art. Le Bonhomie
Jadis, a one act piece by M. Henri Murger, who has
lately gained much celebrity by his literary illustrations
of French student-life, is in itself an elegant trifle—
nothing more. When the piece was brought out at the
Theatre Francais, in April, 1852, the bonhomie was
played, not by M. Regnier, by M. Provost, to whom it
was dedicated ; but still, though without the means of
comparison, we are perfectly satisfied that M. Regnier's
version is an original creation ; just as we can often tell
by certain attributes in a portrait that must be a good
likeness, though R e have not seen the original. That
verve, that full flow of animation could not be obtained
by a mere imitative process. The strength of M.
Regnier is also proved by the life which he is able to give
even to that narcotic pleasantry, Les Jeun de l'Amour
et du Hasard. Although this and one or two other plays
from the pen of Mariva,ux are considered almost classics
on the French stage, are still used as tests of the merits
of new " legitimate" performers, and though deemed
rather worn out at Paris, are still eagerly run after in
the provinces, they produce no great effect on an Eng-
lish audience. However. with all the deficiences of the
antiquated comedy, the character of the valet Pasquin
is rendered with much vivacity by M. Regnier, that while
he is on the stage the merriment of the audience is con-
stantly sustained.

MONET ORDERS-THE COLONIES.

The Postmaster-General is taking measures for estab-
lishing a money-order system between this country and
the colonies. So far as relates to the receipt and pay-
ment of money in the Colonies, and,to its transmission
to and from the United Kingdom, his Lordship intends
to avail himself of the agency of ordinary banks ; except
in any case where the colonial postal arrangements are
not under his direction, and where the authorities of the
colony may prefer to undertake this business themselves.
The receipt and payment of money in the mother country
will form a branch of the money-order system already
existing. Advertisements will shortly appear, inviting
tenders from bankers for the performance of the duties
referred to.

It is deeply to be regretted that so many of our
distinguished artists, still living, have abstained
this year from contributing the aid of their genius
to the present collection of the Royal Academy,
that of the season of 1853, being the eighty-fifth

anniversary of its foundation. Latterly death had
accustomed us, it is true, to the absence of several
important names from the catalogue. Recently,
for example, we had come at last to be habituated
to the non-appearance among the annual exhibitors
of such illustrious masters as Etty and Turner.
But we were not prepared for that reason to find
so considerable a body of their survivors remaining,
in the full vigour and maturity of their powers,
indifferent to the incitements of competition.
Mulready, no doubt, had long disappointed his
admirers by his indolence : but, until now, Maclise
had always delighted us by his activity. Besides
Maclise, we have to regret as absent this season
from the " storied walls" in Trafalgar-square, men
no less important than A. Leopold Egg, and W.
Powell Frith, and W. Edward Frost, and P.
Falconer Poole. Not one of them has added to the
treasures of the Gallery even a single contribution.
Happily, with a few minor exceptions, the rest of
the Associates and Academicians have proved, on the
contrary, both industrious and ambitious. The
President himself has afforded them, in the latter
respect at least, the benefit of an example at all
times influential. Although he has produced this
yeai only two pictures, those pictures are in many
ways worthy of Sir Charles Eastlake's high reputa-
tion. The larger work of the two (No. 124), a
Scriptural subject, is conceived in an elevated style,
and executed with consummate ability, although the
exquisite finish degenerates almost into the effemi-
nate softness of enamel. It represents " Ruth
Sleeping at the Feet of Boaz," and perhaps the
only portion of the " design" that could reasonably
be cavilled at is the attitude of Ruth, which is cer-
tainly anything but calculated to dispose ' the
daughter-in-law of Naomi to somnolency. The
other production of the same master (No. 186) is,
this time, not Scriptural, but Shaksperian. It
portrays Violante, the gentle and beautiful. There
is something most lovely to us in the delicate
