LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1836

The official account of the Revenue, for the quarter
ending the sth instant, is given in another part of
The Bun. It is a truly cheering statement. It shows
an incr°ase in the last quarter's Revenue over that of
the corresponding quarter of 1835 of no less than
1,306,6484, and in the income of the year 1836
over that of 1835 of 2,045,4561. It will be found,
too, when this, we may say, almost unprecedented
increase comes to be analyzed, that it affords a sure
test of the solid prosperity of the country, inasmuch as
it arises chiefly out of increased consumption. Thus,
under the head of Customs, there appearsan increase on
the quarter of 381,2601.--in the Excise, 713,0211.
in the Stamps, 110,0961.—Taxes, 70,7571.—and in
the Post-office,34,ooo/. Mere is here exhibited a degree
of national prosperity which, white it affords a subject
of public congratulation, naturally draws attention to
the system of Government by wc,:ich it has been pro-
duced. We are fully warranted in sa)'ing that this pros-
perity is the noblest practical triumph that could possibly
have been given to the principles upon which pub-
lic affairs have been conducted by the INIELnot:RNE Ad-
ministration, while it is equally condemnatory of the
principles of that turbulent and selfish faction who
would sacrifice every consideration to place and
plunder—who have shewn that they are will-
ing even for the chance of gratifying their dar-
ling propensities, of tyrannizing over and fleec-
ing the people, to plunge the nation into :di the hor-
rors of civil war. The refornis which have
been already made in our national institutions though
they have been is:peded by the Tories, -have given a
new stimulus to industry ; and a:: we proceed in the
same wise and noble career, we shall see the
national resources developed to a degree of which we
can at present hardly form any conception.

The Editor of the Dublin Pilot, who is as well
acquainted with the temper of his countrymen as any
man in Ireland, says, in allusion to the Lords' rejec-
tion of the Irish Municipal Bill, that " there will be
agitation of an unparallelled character throughout the
length and breadth of the sister country. We never
recollect the people so truly roused, so predisposed for

energy, and so resolved on perseverance." We are
glad to hear this, for agitation—general, unceasing
agitation, within the limits of the constitution—is
Ireland's only chance of obtaining justice from the
Lords. She has supplicated them,. and they have
turned a deaf ear to her supplications. She has
remonstrated with them, and they have laugked to
scorn her remonstrances. She has even knelt down
before them, and they have spurned her from their
gate. Nothing then is now left for her but agitation.
She must Sat —remonstrate—kneel no longer ; but
assume a bold, ,determined attitude—bearing this in
mind, that there .never yet was a people resolved to
have justice dune them, that did not gain their point.
In the present instance, Ireland has no very herculean
difficulties to contend agaitk:.". She does not stand
alotre in the battle. N.)--Englarn".l is with her, and so
is Scotland ; and the tiara united will vanquish the
Tory faction, as surely as Sir ANDREW AGNZIV will
"groan in the spirit" all next Sunday. Mr. Q'CoNNFI.L
who foresees the comi•ao skriminacte" has already
aonounced his intention d tAina, a leading part in it ;
