LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 7, 1851.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE,

The Revenue Returns for the year and quarter end-
ing the sth inst. will be found in another part of this
day's impression. Although there will be found a
diminution in the receipts of the year and quarter
when compared with the corresponding periods of the
preceding year, we have every reason to congratulate
ourselves on the additional evidence afforded of the
almost miraculous elasticity of the national resources.
We have made very considerable reductions of taxa-
tion, and yet the Exchequer sustains little if
any loss. The duty on bricks, amounting in round
terms to no less than half a million sterling
per annum, is abolished, and yet there is an improve-
ment in the Excise. A modification of the Stamp
duties is introduced which it was calculated would
cost the country more than 300,0001. per annum ;
we have also had the progressive changes in the
sugar and timber duties, and yet, notwithstanding
these important remissions, the decrease on the year
amounts only to 210,739/., and on the quarter to
95,3541.; of which 60,937/. is on the extraordinary
branches of the revenue, so that practically
the loss on the ordinary items is but
34,4171., no very formidable diminution, even if there
hEol been no fiscal changes brought into operation
du.ring the interval, but truly satisfactory, if all the
circumstances of the case be taken into consideration,
mo re especially when we remember that the quarter
ending the sth of July, 1850, was one of extraordinary
and almost unparalleled prosperity, showing an im-
provement on the preceding year and quarter of
1,215,867/. on the former, and of 561,5041. on the
latter. The present returns must, therefore, be ex-
ceedingly favourable to bear comparison with
such rivals. There is one item, and one
only, in the national balance-sheet calculated
to cast a partial gloom over the genial sunshine. The
property and income-tax is steadily decreasing, but
of that more anon.

We shall now look to the particular features in the
present return. In the Customs there is a reduction
on the year and quarter of 25,1221. and 15,4901. re-
spectively. 'We must not, however, forget that "the
corn of the tropics" is now admitted at lower import
duties than at the corresponding period last year,
and that the anticipated reduction on the timber
duties has also bad some effect. The improvement
on the quarter ending sth July, 1850, was 204,932/.
beyond that of 1849, so that in place of a decrease of
15,4901., we may regard it as an increase of 189,4421.
on the Midsummer quarter of 1849, and that despite
the reductions to which we have already alluded.
The Excise—the index to the prosperity of, and
amount of comforts enjoyed by, the labouring popu-
lation of the country—more than maintains the
favourable position it had assumed. It shows
in the clearest light the real value of
free trade and untaxed food to the work-
ing classes, and affords unanswerable evidence
of the accuracy of the assertion that the revenue
would not suffer by almost any reductions that could
be effected. We have heard of a young American
tradesman who determined to apply his entire profits
for a certain period in advertising, but who found
that he was unable to do so, the profits increasing so
rapidly that he could not find the opportunity of ex-
pending the whole fund. Something similar may be
seen in the Excise returns, the greater the reduction
the larger the improvement. tinder this head the
increase on the year is 122,2731., and on the quar-
ter 94,585/. ; or, if we compare it with 1849, on the
year, of 1,022,6961., and on the quarter of 399,208/. ;
and this notwithstanding the abolition of the duty on
bricks, averaging more than 500,0001. per annum.
In the Stamps there has been a decrease of
285,2501. on the year, and of 65,275/. on the quarter.
This, however, is more than accounted for by the
change in the law, which it was calculated would
have occasioned a loss to the revenue of 300,0001. per
annum. There had also been an increase on the
preceding year of 222,0911., so that the actual loss on
the year compared with 1849 is but 63,1591., against
which we are to set the above-mentioned reduction of
duty.

On the Taxes the decrease on the year is 28,849/.,
of which by far, the larger; proportion, or 28,0501., is
on the quarter. The assessed taxes, generally
speaking, exhibit but little alteration. Houses
cannot be taken down on account of any
temporary embarrassments, nor are horses, car-
riages, servants, dogs, &c., relinquished ex-
cept on permanent grounds. The quarterly reduction
may, therefore, partly be accounted for by the in-
crease of 18,551/. exhibited in the quarter of last year,
and partly by the fact that the collectors have been
taking their pleasure at the Crystal Palace, and are
not quite so pressing in their attentions as they usually
have been at this period.

The Property and Income-tax is, as we have al-
ready stated, the only drawback to the general pros-
perity. The decrease on the year is 106,4181., or a
falling off in the profits of the middle classes, of
merchants, manufacturers, traders, and professional and
literary men of more than three millions and a half of
pounds sterling. These are the persons whose re-
ceipts fluctuate. The fundholder gets his dividend
to the day, or, if he sells out, some other person takes
his place and finds the property-tax duly deducted. The
landowner makes it a subject of one of his most
touching Jeremiads, that no allowance is made for
the destruction of the corn monopoly ; he still pays
the same. The only persons affected are those of the
middle classes receiving 150/ .and upwards, and their
"5 is t ruly deplorable if they do not oppose craft to open
robbery, and
feel themselves justified by the iniquity
of the
impost to return less Man their actual receipts.
We tr,ast that the recently appointed Cera-
m
ittee of investigation may take these facts
into their consideration and devise a more
equitable system than that
h,
at now in force, so that the
people might not discover
but a justification of dish
itself.
not merely it palliation,
State itself. The diminurnesty in the conduct of the
°ll on the quarter is even
ircolv ruarkible, it 1
being no leas that 49,9i411 j

and that although there hui Deell a ueereatm
on the corresponding quarter of last year of 6,40:51.1 I
It is the only item in which there is a steady and con-
tinuous depreciation.
The Post-office, under the judicious arrangement of
ROWLAND HILL, 15 still improving; the increase there
being on the year 74,0001., and on the quarter 30,0001.,
every additional facility to the public bringing ad-
ditional profit to the Exchequer. The Crown Lands,
on the contrary, show a deficieney of 10,0001. in
the year, which a closer inspection will show to have
been entirely sustained within the quarter. On the
Miscellaneous there is a decrease of 47,4111. on the
year, and an increase of 9,7671. on the quarter.
Of the extraordinary branches of revenue, it is suf-
ficient to say, that under the head of Imprest and other
Moneys there is a falling off of 27,4111. on the year,
and an improvement of 3,9421. on the quarter, while
under that of Repayment of Advances the improvement
is on the year to the extent of 123,4491., while the
decrease, no less than 64,8801., is on the quarter. On
the whole—the income-tax excepted—the public will
agree with us in thinking that, taking all the cir-
cumstances into account, the nation has every reason
to be thankful at the results of free trade, tried by
the most stringent test that could possibly be
devised.

As old Reformers, we would fain request Mr.
Huss and Mr. THOMAS Duricesins to consider
whether, should they persevere in the amendments
for which they have given notice for to-morrow on
Mr. HENRY BERKELEY'S motion for the ballot, they
will not be inflicting serious damage on the cause
which they profess to advocate ; affording its
enemies an opportunity of giving the go-bye to the
real cliiestion at issue, and, by exhibiting a show of
division among Reformers on the question of the
ballot, encouraging Lord J. RUSSELL in his opposi-
tion to this, the moat essential of Ell reforms, and one
without which an extension of the franchise would be
rather a mockery thaii a reality—a snare rather than
a boon to many on wht'm it would be conferred.
In the votes paper of the House! pf Commons we And
the following notices :
" Mr. Hume—To move as an amendmOt on Mr.
Henry Berkeley's motion for ballot, for Bill to amend
the national representation, by evencling the elective
franchise, so that every man of toll age, and not sti4)eot
to any mental or legal disability, who shall have been
the resident occupier of a house, or part of a house as a
lodger, for twelve months, and shall have been daly rated
to the poor of that parish for that time, shall be regis-
tered as an elector, and be entitled to vote for a represen-
tative in Parliament. Also, by enacting that votes shall
be taken by ballot, that the duration of Parliaments shall
not exceed three years, and that the proportion of re-
presentatives be made more consistent with the amount
of population and property.
"Mr. Thomas Duneombe—To move, as an amendment
to, either 7.'r. Henry Berkeley's or Mr. Hume's motion,
That this House will, at the earliest opportunity in the
next session of Parliament, take into its serious consi-
deration the state of the representation of the people,
with a view to its amendment.'"
We will not enter upon the question between Mr.
Hulls and Mr. DuNcomisz, or take upon ourselves to
say whether Lord Jowl RUSSELL'S assurance that he
was about to extend the franchise and equalize the
representation, might be sufficient to induce these
gentlemen to postpone their motions, or the contrary;
but the abstract question of the ballot is a widely
different affair. The question of the ballot stands on
its own merits, and can only be treated as it was by
Mr. GROTE. It is no speculative or experimental
good, introducing on the stage new dramatis persona,
but it is good thus far, that it must upset and anni-
hilate a monstrous evil affecting those already invested
with political rights. Whether we increase or de-
crease the number of electors, the ballot is the certain
cure for intimidation, and the number, whether great
or small, can, under its protection, discharge their
duty to their country without fear of consequences.
Now, if Lord JoaN RUSSELL were prepared to take
this great and necessary reform into consideration, as
he is the subject of an extension of the franchise, we
doubt whether the Hon. Member for Bristol would
deem it his duty to press the question this session, but
as Lord JoaN RUSSELL has distinctly declared, in
reply to a question put to him by Mr. HENRY
BERKELEY in the House, that the ballot will not be
included in the new Reform Bill, we hold it to be the
bounden duty of that Honourable Gentleman,
a duty made pressing by the circumstances
which have arisen, to urge the question of protec-
tion to the voter upon the consideration of the House
of Commons this session, and we furthermore consider
it to be incumbent on those Honourable Members
who have voted on the question heretofore to attend
and assist in impressing on the Minister the futility
of any electoral reform which is not based oa the

We therefore deprecate the proposal of any
amendment which shall give to the opponents of the
measure, whe are at their wit's end for colourable
arguments wherewithal to oppose the question, an
opportunity of charging those Liberal Members who
support it with difference of opinion, distraction in
their councils, and absence of unanimity—weapons
which are flashy and deluiive, if not keen and deadly.
We do hope, therefore, that Messrs. DUNCOMBE and
Hums, if they must bring forward their particular
views of Parliamentary reform, will at least take
such an opportunity as may not affect a question so
vitally important to the best interests of the Par-
liamentary elector and the cause of purity of
election.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied by
his suite, lift Paris for Beauvais yesterday morning,
to be present at the inauguration cf the statue of
JEANNE HACHETTE. The following report of the
proceedings of the Committee of revision appears in
some of the journals : _ _

" The Committee of Revision of the Constitution as-
sembled on Saturday to hear the report of M. de Melun
(du Nord) on the petitions. The total number of petitions
sent to the Assembly up to the Ist inst. was 13,524, and
the total of the signatures, crosses, and adhesions
1,123,625. Out of this total number there were for the
revision 741,011 signatures, crosses, and adhesions; for
the revision and prolongation 370,511, and for the pro-
longation alone 12,103. The signatures to unconstitu-
tional petitions demanding either an immediate revision
of the Constitution by the Assembly, or expressing other
unconstitutional wishes, or the prolongation of the
powers of the actual President, are about 42,000 in
number. Only one petition expresses itself in a manner
disrespectful to the Assembly. The Committee pro-
poses to set aside all the petitions of this nature by
the previous question. The report points out cer-
tain abuses to which the petitionist movement
had given rise, and particularly several denunciations
directed against those who oppose the petitioning.
Some passages of the report gave rise to observations
on the part of the members of the Committee. The
reporter having spoken of the illegal deliberations of the
elective councils who have often expressed wishes fa-
vourable to the Government, General Cavaignac declared
that never until the last session had the councils general
ever expressed political wishes. M. Odilon Barrot
warmly exclaimed against the restricted use which the
men who had achieved power in the name of liberty
wished to make of that same liberty as soon as it was
acquired. In his opinion the struggles and efforts of
parties were the life of free states, and he claimed the
right of petitioning as an essential condition of liberty.
You have,' he said, • established the government of
public opinion, would you, therefore place its establish-
inent on the condition that public opinion should not
manifest itself?' On the subject of another phrase in
the report which attributes the revisionist movement to
a popular sentiment, the bearing of which could not be
appreciated, General Cavaignac said petitioning did not
express the free and formal wishes of the country. M.
Odilon Barrot, on the contrary, maintained that the
movement appeared to him to be truly national, and that
he should be the defender of it from the tribune of the
Assembly. The reporter also alluded to the part which
the public authorities have taken in the petitionist move-
ment; he exonerated the central administration from
this influence, but pointed out the frequent interference
of the local authorities. The Committee decided on
hearing the explanations of the Minister of the Interior
before coming to any decision on the subject."
The Assemblie Nationale, the organ of M. GUIZOT,
says that Count NBSS/ILRODII has addressed a circular
to the Russian representatives at Naples, Florence,
and Rome, informing them that Austria, Prussia, and
Russia, had resolved upon placing at the disposal of
these Governments such aid as they might req +lire
against revolutionary movements. Thus, according
to the interpretation of this journal, the Northern
Courts have formed an anti-revolutionary league,
" rendered necessary by the audacious and hypocriti-
cal enterprises of the English Government against the
peace of the continent, which it is English policy to
keep in a constant state of revolutionary agitation."

territory and of order, and that those interests called
for the maintenance of that occupation, and conse-
quently be refused to accede to the demand made by
the Senate of Hamburgh."
A letter from Frankfort of the Ist in the indepenz
dance of Brussels says :—" It is believed Austria will
contract a loan of from 60,000,000 to 100,000,000
florins. The Austrian funds will therefore probably
advance considerably, as the consolidation of a great
part of the floating debt is expected."
