THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

The report of the Commissioner Rollins of the in-
ternal revenue bureau is fuller and longer than
any of his previous documents, and gives the receipts
in full for the last two years. The aggregate re-
ceipts for the last fiscal year were $265,920,474, of
which, after deducting the amounts drawn back
and refunded, the Government netted $263,459,262,
or about $47,000,000 less than for the previous
year. The reduction is partially owing to the de-
crease in taxation, made last winter, and the addi-
tion of many articles to the free list. Comparative
tables show that the receipts from stamps are up-
wards of $1,000,000 greater than they were last
year ; incomes $3,500,000 less ; cotton $3,400,000
more; licenses, $lOO,OOO more; cig,rs, che-
roots, &c., $200,000 more; chewing and smok-
ing tobacco, nearly $3,000,000 more ; distilled
liquors $900,000 less. The revenue from dis-
tilled spirits was $28,296,264, and the Commis-
sioner says that 32,399,626 gallJns were reported
to revenue officers, and can be accounted for by
them during the year. A considerable proportion
of this, of course, is yet in bond, and therefore has
not paid any tax. The expenses of the revenue
bureau this year are $7,712,000, which is about
$22,000 in excess of last year. The number of
smuggling cases compromised during the year was
578, mostly where the evidence was insufficient.
The Commissioner estimates that the aggregate re-
ceipts of the bureau for the fiscal year ending next
June will be about $225,000,000, and for the year
ending June, 1869, about $240,000,000.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. -AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or
affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to
be the best medicine for immediately relieving .coughs,
confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient consumption. It fre-
quently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable,
and admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent
coughing. In approaching consumption its effects are truly be-
neficial. Persons derrived of sleep, or even lying down for fear
of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes after tak-
ing it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist,

CANDLES.—If you do not want your candles
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITIN E," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT
WAX," or their "BEST," " o. '2," " No. 3," or "BATTERSEA"
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffin° candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paraffin, "PRICE'S PARAFFINS" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffin Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house beforo the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
" Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.
"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
i ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

The report of the Commissioner Rollins of the in-
ternal revenue bureau is fuller and longer than
any of his previous documents, and gives the receipts
in full for the last two years. The aggregate re-
ceipts for the last fiscal year were $265,920,474, of
which, after deducting the amounts drawn back
and refunded, the Government netted $263,459,262,
or about $47,000,000 less than for the previous
year. The reduction is partially owing to the de
crease in taxation, made last winter, and the addi-
tion of many articles to the free list. Comparative
tables show that the receipts from stamps are up-
wards of $1,000,000 greater than .they were last
year ; incomes $3,500,000 less ; cotton $3,400,000
more; licenses, $lOO,OOO more; cig irs, che-
roots, &c., $200,000 more ; chewing and smok-
ing tobacco, nearly $3,000,000 more ; distilled
liquors $900,000 less. The revenue from dis-
tilled spirits was $28,296,264, and the Commis-
sioner says that 32,399,626 gallons were reported
to revenue officers, and can be accounted for by
them during the year. A considerable proportion
of this, of course, is yet in bond, and therefore has
not paid any tax. The expenses of the revenue
bureau this year are $7,712,000, which is about
$22,000 in excess of last year. The number of
smuggling cases compromised during the year was
578, mostly where the evidence was insufficient.
The Commissioner estimates that the aggregate re-
ceipts of the bureau for the fiscal year ending next
June will be about $225,000,000, and for the year
ending June, 1869, about $240,000,000.

states that during the late fiscal year 7,041,114 acres

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

Sir Stafford Northcote has received iutelligence
from Colonel Merewether at Senafe on the 13th of
December, up to which date all was going on well.
He had heard from the captives at Magdala, who
were well on the 11th of November, and had had
❑ews of the Expedition being on its way. Menelek,
acting with the Gallas, was moving to attack
Magdala. The King had not been able to advance
more than 30 miles from Debra Tabor, being en-
cumbered with baggage, and having great opposi-
tion to encounter.

Accounts up to October 11 had been received
from Mr. Flad. The King had carried off with
him from Debra Tabor all the Europeans, some in
chains, others frce. Among the latter was Mr.
Flad, who says also that the women and children
were all well, and that the prisoners had of late
been better treated by the King.

THE CLERKENWELL OUTRAGE

It appears an entire mistake to suppose that the
police have succeeded in arresting the miscreant
who fired the barrel of gunpowder at the wall of the
House of Detention. The statement that such was
the fact must have obtained publicity by the pri-
soner Aluilany, who was examined this morning at
Bow-street, iu company with Burke and Casey, being
mistaken for him, as he was brought to London via
the North-Western Railway, and conveyed to safe
custody, guarded by a strong body of armed
police.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day,

THAMES.

TILE CHRISTMAS DINNER.—Thomas Grant, aged
24 years, residing at Mapps-row, Stepney, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing
a sucking pig, a leg of pork, and a rump steak, the
property of Mr. Allan Bowyer.

The prosecutor is a butcher on Stepney-green, and
and he said he employed the prisoner on Christmas-
eve to carry a sucking pig, a leg of pork, and
a first rate and very large and juicy
rump steak to the house of a Mr. Whitbread.
in Stepney-causeway. The meat which was in-
tended for Mr. Whitbread's Christmas dinner never
reached him. Mr. Bowyer saw the prisoner next
day and asked him why he did not deliver the meat,
and he swore " heart and eyes" he never received
the meat. " Why, I gave it you in a basket,"
said Mr. Bowyer, and again the prisoner swore
heart and eyes" he never had any meat,
never saw any, on Christmas-eve. Mr. Bowyer
allowed him to depart, and subsequently spoke to'
Police-sergeant Briden, a clever detective, No. 4
K, who arrested the prisoner yesterday, and he
then said he was drunk when he received the suck-
ing pig, the leg of pork, and the steak. He after-
wards wanted to pay for the provisions. Briden
would not allow a settlement.

Sarah Baker, servant to Mr. Bowyer, saw her mas-
ter deliver a basket of meat for Mr. Whitbread on
Tuesday last. The prisoner was then half drunk
and half sober, but knew what he was about.
The prisoner impudently said that he never
received the meat.

Mr. Bowyer—This is not the first time be has
made away with meat I have intrusted him co
deliver.

Mr. Benson remanded the prisoner for a week.

[ADVERTISEMENT.) --Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Fistulas, piles, excoriations, and strictures are speedily re-
lieved and ultimately removed by applying this ( intment
after fomentation with warm water. Persons suffering
from these scourges of the human race should arrest their
progress at once, for it is both insidious and rapid. Fis-
tulas, if allowed to go unchecked, not only weaken the
nervous system, but destroy life. The sooner these in-
valuable remedies are used the more certain is success ;
yet none need despair, hopeless, cases have yielded, and
the sufferer has been saved a painful death. In excoria-
tions, a few applications of this healing ointment effect a
cure, while the pills, conjointly used, are especially bene-
ficial in relaxing and removing stricture; whatever their
situations or duration.

OFFICIAL GAB.—Some years since a graduate of
Yale was asked to contribute towards the support of a
society in that college whose object was to train young
men in public speaking. He refused and gave his reasons
therefor, which may be thus summed up—such societies
encourage "gab." There is too much "gab." It will be
the ruin of the American people. I won't give a cent to
your society. We wish that man, to us he is one of the
unhistoric names, could be censor of our official reports.
From the President down to the "humble individual"
wit() sends in a bureau report to Congress, every
man of them has the disease of verbose continuance.
Congress needs information. We all wisk it had more,
but it does not need the long, turgid communications
which for its sins officials are permitted to inflict upon it,
iu the shape of " reports." Have these gentlemen no
idea that we live in thoughts, deeds, feelings, and not iu
words? Do they know that this is an age of railroads
and telegraphs, that the pecuniary interest of the coinm-
nity demands compactness of thought, clearness of infor-
mation, and brevity of expression? 'These officials are
veritable antediluvians, impressed with the belief that
no more becoming contribution can be made to the
nineteenth century than long, turgid reports which
lumber the telegraph, encumber the newspaper, in-
increase the bills for Congressional printing and born the
people. Their profusion of words covers their niggardli-
ness of ideas. We ask for a dozen on the half-shell, and
we get lots of shells, but no oysters. We wish every offi-
cial whose duty it is to report to Congress was compelled
to serve an apprenticeship to a daily journal. He would
learn that brevity improves the force of communications
and secures their reading. We are victims to " Webster'e
Unabridged" and " Worcester's Dictionary." Will not
some " official " study "Pilgrim's Progress" before he
writes his next Congressional report, and give us a plain,
brief, Anglo-Saxon statement of his own.— Watchman and
Reflector.
