From the Official Returns of the Revenue for
the year and quarter ended the sth instant, it is
truly gratifying to find that the income and the
-financial condition of the country are in a state
of progressive and flourishing prosperity. Not-
withstanding the large reduction of taxes, the
Revenue of the year is only p 630,000 less than
that of the year ended sth January 1823,—
whilst on the-last quarter, ended the sth instant,
there is an increase, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of the preceding year, of
9.62,000/.—With diminished taxation, therefore,
the income of the country, during the three
-nonths last past, has been actually greater than
.that during the corresponding period of the for-
- mer year. It is, however, necessary to point
out to our Readers, that under the head "
-CELLANEOUS," in the official Abstracts, is in.
-cluded the sum of 760,000/. already received
on account of the debt due to Great Britain by
the Austrian Government ; and as this item does
not form a part of the ordinary revenue of the
State, the decrease of receipts from taxation, upon
-the whole year, strictly speaking, is 1,390,0001.;
and for the same reason there is a decrease of
receipts from taxation, upon the quarter just
ended, to the amountiof 490,0001. ill'', there
iS SO great an increase, both in the, whole year
and in the quarter, in the productiveness of the
Customs, the Staelps, and the Post-Office, as
to warrant the expectation of a further large
-reduction of taxes in the ensuing session of
Parliament. During the last, as compared with
the corresponding quarter of the preceding year,
,the Customs have increased 447,1071., the Stamps
105,8231., and the Post-Othce 37,0001. The
decrease, both in the year and the quarter, has
been solely in the Excise and the Assessed
Taxes, and has in both been occasioned, not by
any natural falling off in -these important
branches, :but by the extinction of taxes which
.hat been already effected by Parliament.
