foe Revenue Tables for the quarter will 'be
<ld in another place. We regret to say that
viS' Present on the whole a considerable falling
quaff The deficiency on the Customs for the
ter, `l', as compared to the correspondinr; guar-
atir;jflast year, is 54,1151.; of the Excise, 44,5261.;
tv*,,;_q the Post-office, 27,0001.; making in all,
41 the Miscellaneous and Crown Lands reve-
4a~es,a total falling off on these articles of
33,141/. on the quarter.
In the Stamps there is an increase of 19,2161.,
and in Taxes of 42,9871., and, deducting these
.0111 the decrease, the deficiency on the quarter
;
70,574/.
/a.e decrease in the year as compared to last
e',l' is 309,2801., which, cusidering the increase
110,
eh was last year ',Jade in the Duties and
ztsles, and considering the great increase which
tilas taken place in our expenditure, is by no
ieans a pleasing circumstance. The falling off

evr life,
that falling off points out one reason why
reduction of the postage duties has not fully
it4swered the most sanguine expectations. Since
Was carried into effect, the trade of the country
ling not advanced; there has been comparatively
irttle stir or enterprise in the land, and that
4.ease of correspondence has not taken place
t Leh Would have accrued had the prosperity of
heenontty gone forward with its former velocity The e-Ipenditure last year exceeded the reve-
e lye know also that it will be considerably
veel'::ess this yet's; and it is the duty of the Go-
ttlihArnent and tiae Parliament to meet this diffi-
-tY at once, rnd provide for the equalization of
F. revenue 'And the expenditure.
