the falling upon the year. The amount of Exchequer
Bills wanted for the service of the quarter is estimated
at 4,ol6,lB9l.—Morning Herald.

We have great satisfaction in referring to the official
tables of the revenue for the year and quarter which
terminated on Saturday. They will be found in an-
other column. The increase in the Customs_ duties
of the quarter compared with that of the corresponding
quarter of the last year, is upwards of 400,0001. There
is also a small increase in every other branch of the
ordinary revenue, with the exception of the assessed
taxes, in which there is a diminution, arising, we ap-
prehend, from the cessation of payments, on acconnt
of the repealed house tax, of 453,594/. The total in-
crease in the revenue of the quarter is 365,4801. Not-
withstanding this considerable improvement in the
proceeds of the last quarter, there is still a diminution
upon the re'venue of the whole year, of which this
quarter forms part, of no less a sum than 1,105,8391.
These statements, if they do not yet present that cha-
racter of progressive improfement which is the surest
indication of stable prosperity, give reason at least to
hope that the industry and enterprise of the nation
have commenced a renewed career of successful exertion.
This was to be expected after the cessation of that
fevered excitement to which organical changes in the
Constitution had given rise, and after it -had
been clearly discovered that these changes had
utterly failed to accomplish their intended pur-
pose of establishing and perpetuating in the
State the ascendancy of a disorganizing and
anti-national faction. The triumphant efforts of
the friends of order, tranquillity, and safety,
throughout the country, to resume their natural and
salutary influence, encouraged and assisted as they
have been by the firm, sedate, and indomitable con-
servatism of one branch of the Legislature, have offered
the nation a satisfactory guarantee of the stability of
its institutions ; diffused a new feeling of confidence ;
given to enterprise a more vigorous impulse, and to
enjoyment a renovated zest. We are happy to express
our confident persuasion that the present improved
condition of the public revenue is but the first fruits of
the wise, patriotic, and successful exertions of the
Conservatives of Great Britain, in their various ranks
and stations, to stein the headlong torrent of innova-
tion and destruction.—Morning Post.
There can no longer be any doubt that Lord Mul-
grave, the King's representative in Ireland, has in-
vited and entertained to dinner Daniel O'Connell, the
rancorous-mouthed ruffian, - who publicly denounced
his Majesty's brother as " a mighty great liar," and
who, moreover, after speaking of the Duke of Wel-
lington, the greatest soldier of this, or perhaps of any
other age, as owing his well-earned fame to chance,
described the illustrious victor of Napoleon as one
whom Nature had intended for a " stunted corporal."
Now, we beg once more to impress upon the reader
this fact, namely—that the circumstances we notice
here have no reference to politics, that they are wholly
beside all party considerations. We further entreat
the public to recollect that they involve 'much higher
and much more important considerations ; for no state
of pol.itics, no predominance of party, let them be
ever so much to one's taste and fancy, can render en-
durable that condition of society in which all men, from
the highest to the humblest, are subjected to the foulest
insults that the most practised blackguard can invent, and
-the most brazen bully will venture to utter in the security
of present and personal irrespon.;ibility. And yet to this
complexion must English society come, if the vast
majority of its most respectable and most influential
members do not determine to treat every man who ad-
mits O'Connell to his house and to his table precisely
as they treat O'Connell himself. The members of
the Club called Brookes's are they upon whom the
duty of taking the first step in this matter impera-
tively devolves : and we have no hesitation in saying,
that if they do not expel O'Connell, they will do more
towards degrading the character of English gentle-
men in the estimation of all civilized communities,
whether at home or abrocd, than whole centuries will
undo and repair. If a majority of Brookes's "still en-
dure so coarse a brute among them, which we cannot
anticipate, we trust, at least, that the minority will
secede, and, making way for the " tail" as well as for
the " head," communicate to the world the names of
those gentlemen who do not consider that an inveterate
habit of falsehood, the constant use of language the
grossest arid the most scurrilous, and a perpetual in-
dulgence in personalities and abuse that would disgrace
a drunken fish-fag, are sufficient to disqualify a man as
their private and personal associate. With regard to
Lord Mulgrave, his conduct is to us altogether inex-
plicable, unless we suppose him to have been ignorant
of the nature of the speech O'Connell delivered to his
kindred and sympathizing savages of the political
Trades' Union. Until we have proof to the contrary,
we prefer believing- that Lord Mulgrave was not
cognizant of the contents of that oration, for we
have no desire to assume that one of the Peers of the
United Kingdom has so humiliated and disgraced him-
self as a gentleman, and so grossly and wantonly in-
sulted his Sovereign, as to admit as a guest to his table,
and seat beside a lady of rank and character, the loathsome
and licentiousblackguard who but a few hours before had
called the King's brother " a mighty great liar," and the
Duke of Wellington " a stunted corporal." Besides,
there were present at this entertainment, Lord Mor-
peth, another of His Majesty's Ministers; one of the
King's Judges in Ireland, Mr. Justice Perrin ; and
his Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor-General for Ire-
land: It is not conceivable that any of these, any
more than the Lord-Lieutenant himself, had read the
speech in question. True it is, that if their official
duties had not wholly absorbed their time and their
attention, they might have read O'Connell's orations
at Manchester, at Newcastle, at Edinburgh, and Glas-
gow, and in them they would have found, among
other choice figures of speech, the House of Lords
likened to pigs with soaped tails, and called some-
times " two-footed pigs," sometimes " half men and
half hogs," while the Duke of Wellington, the spe-
cial object of the wretch's vituperation, because the
man who has done the State the greatest service,
was dubbed Wellington of Waterloo, the swine-
herd General." These speeches, again, could never
have met the eye of the Lord-Lieutenant, or of
the official part of his company ; but as the
amount of their knowledge, and especially of Lord
Mulgrave's, relative to the address of the " distin-
guished individual" to the Political Trades' Union
mustform the subject of Parliamentary investigation,
we are not inclined, without further information, to
pursue the subject. The accumulated outrages of the
commonest decencies of society which have been com-
mitted by this libel upon humanity—e-the curse and
shame of Ireland—are, however, sufficiently notorious
in England to provoke, to justify, and to insure the
only punishment society can inflict—namely the ex-
pulsion of himself and of all who associate with him
from every circle which has the remotest claim to be
called respectable. Light indeed, and immeasurably
less than his deserts, will even that punishment be
found by those who may chose to recapitulate the
offences of his unbridled tongue, committed in cold
blood, deliberately, wantonly, and with mischief and
malice prepense. If we refrain from putting that re-
capitulation upon record, it is from the same feeling
which induced the Roman to stop short in his enu-
meration of the crimes of an agitator of his time—
" ne in hac patria tanti facinoris immanitas aut ex-
stitesse, aut non vindicata esse, videatur."—Times.

Some of the Bristol coachmasters, it is said, hare
it in contemplation to run some of the most improved loco-
motive steam-carriages on the turnpike road, in order to
test the possibility of competing with the railway, to which,
as may be imagined, they are warmly opposed.
NEW STEAM OMNIBUS.—On Thursday Messrs.
Hancock and Co.'s steam omnibus, called the Enterprise,
performed an experimental trip from Stratford to Padding-
ton and back again. The omnibus is elegantly constructed,
and capable of containing about twenty passengers. The
boiler and machinery are in a very small compass behind,
and so contrived that no chimney or pipe for conveying
away the smoke is to be seen, which in the carriages hi-
therto constructed has a very unsightly and awkward ap-
pearance. Having arrived in Paddington at half-past ten,
and taken in a supply of water and coke, it started back
again at eleven o'clock, and proceeded along the New Road
at a rapid and steady rate, climbing the ascent at Penton-
ville with the greatest ease and facility, stopping and cross-
ing the road as occasion required with the utmost preci-
sion. After staying a few seconds at the Angel, Islington,
the vehicle pursued its route down the City-road with a
velocity exceeding twelve miles an hour.
