PIGEON SHOOTING.
On Tuesday last the match that has excited such considerable
interest took place at the Enclosure, Battersea, between Mr.
Swayne and Mr. Wise, at twenty-one pigeons each, for 201.
aside. At the counnencement of the match, the odds had
changed in favour of Mr. Wise ; at the fourth shot a dispute
arose, in consequence of a bird having got under one of the
marquess, which Mr. S.'s umpire gave up his consent. Mr.
W. kept one a head till the twelfth shot, when Mr. S. pasted
him, and beat him by one bird. Five crowns to one were laid,
that four of Mr. W.'s birds would go out of bounds, which were
lost by their falling close to the palings. Mr. 8. killed 14, and
Mr. W. 13. Mr. V. immediately after the match, challenged
tor. S. to shoot at twenty.one birds for 201., on Wednesday, the
12th of April, which Mr. S. immediately excepted.

Lord Kelburn had subscribed 100 guineas. r. W.Carlile said,
that the present distress was greater than ariy thing similar he
ever saw in the town of Paisley. lle knew of no place in the
United Kingdom where the distress was so great, unleee it

cause of distributing about I,IOW. within the above period.
CURIOUS CARRlAGE.—Yeslerday, was seen at
the West End of the town, a carriage of extraordinary dimen.
Mons the inside of the vehicle appeared to contain twelve or
fourteen persona conveniently, and six more riding at oft or. the fore and hind dickeys. It differed little in form front
an ordinary posting-coach, though somewhat elongated, and a.
though Wording such extent of accommodation, thur horses
appeared to draw it without any extra exertion. We under-
stand the carriage was built by his Majesty's coach-makets, in
Liquorporal.street, expressly for a Peer of France, and that the
triul was made by the builders, to ascertain its motion; previous
to its departure for Paris.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.
DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Paper s,April 7, 1826.

, OWE TIMES,]
The return of the day on which the accounts
of the quarter's revenue are usually made up,
and exhibited--whether in a garbled form, or,
as less frequently happens, in their true and na-
tural colours—to the nation, is in feverish times
expected with a good deal of uneasy curiosity.
he accounts which were yesterday furnished by
Government, present on the face of them, a con-
siderahle reduction of income, and at the same
time deserve to be looked at with no small sus-
picion and distrust. There are three points of
view in which a prudent individual, not enjoying
the comfort of a fixed income, would consider his
receipts for any given period of the year. Ist,
in comparison with an equal portion of a former
year; 2d, in comparison with his own estimates
of what his income would be ; 3d, and this is the
most important of all—in comparison with his
regular expenses. So far as concerns the first of
these standards, in reference to the income of the
public, it is obvious how little cause there exists
for congratulation, when there appears on the
filte main sources of our permanent revenue a de-
ficiency, as follows, viz.:—
Customs and Excise, together •
Stamps . •

Taxis

Post office .

£554,228
127,887'
138,508
4,000

1:021,623
Here, then, is a falling off upon the staple articles
of. revenue—those, moreover, which have more
than once been exultingly-, and not unjustly, re-
ferred to as tests of the comforts enjoyed by the'
people—a falling off at the rate of 3,300,000/.
per annum. It is, indeed, declared, that in an
item termed " Nliscellaneons," ass increase upon
the last quarter has been apparent of 111,8241.
What, then, (10 the articles composing this finals-
cial miscellany Consist of ? Are they such as can
be -relied on for their permanency ? Are they in •
come, or are they mere incidents ? God-sends,
which visit us once in our lives, such as the Aus-
trian compOsitiowof 3s. its the pound, to disap-
pear for ever amidst the gilding and ornamental
upholstery of a palace! We fear there may' be
some such evanescent additions among, the "
mis-
cellaneous"- of the past quarter ; for, in truth, we
find a distinct item described as

Money on account of a treaty with the King of the
Netherlands, which ought to have been paid in

the yens preceding
Money received on account of Irish tokeLs

£lOO,OOO
76,166

176,30
So that between this minor Dutch God-send, and
the other—which, by the way, is of a species of
GOd-sond that very rarely comes from Ireland,
and neither of which will ever he seen again—
there an accidental addition of 176,0001.t0 the
expired quarter, which s‘vallons up the alleged
increase, and relives an actual deficit of:nearly.
'35,0001. to bout. Let it he observed, likewise,
that the whole of the Dutch God-send has been
thrown into the last tirctrter, artificially to swell
its amount., When we take the second. aspect
under which we set out with stating, that the
revenue of a man, er a Government, ought to be
looked tit—namelY, the comparison of what is
realized with what was promised--it is fair to
iturn over the printed speech of the Chancellor" of
tithe Exchequer, When he opened his, budget a few
weeks ago.. The Right honourable Gentleman
told the country, that he would' estimate the
total falling off upon the Excise and Customs, for'
the year 1826, at 1 `.150,0001., for the kiss by
taxes reduced in 1825 ;: and at, 2.d1y,1,300,0001.
for diminished consumption ; one-fourth of which
gross decreasel,ellowing the whole toss for re•
duced taxes to fall on the first quarter, would
he 675,0001., while the , actual decrease on the
quarter is. foiled, to. 4.e or about
121,0001. less than the &cline which Mr. Robin-
son expected. Rut in;iitamps the estimated de•
ficit for the year was 476001., while the real de!
fiat for the quarter is 0.7,000/. Again, the
assessed taxes were estimated by Mr. Robinson to
fat! off, during' the year by 191,0001.„ whereas
the real falling 'off Ibr a single quarter has (teen
138,000/. The .only single article of revenue in'
which Mr. Robinson duos not appear, from the
evidepCe of the quarter,. to have entertained and
held out false boxes to the country, was the
Post-office; and though the sum is Of little mo-
ment, we held
,it but fair to state the fact. lie
said the falling off in the receipts of the Post.
4,ce would be'45,000/., which would affix a loss
upon each quarter of '1,2501., whereas the actual
decleine,, in put -revenue hag: been but 4,000/
IfOwever,, under .the head of Customs and Ek•
case, , there lur*lts ti, circunistatice deserving mtire
grave, consideration~ thati any 'which we yet have
-nentioned. In Mr',Rebinson's budgeGspeech,
it is said that.for the two months of hest Janiiury
and Fektroaryi, the total falling off in the de.
;Ailment, of Excise revenue upon certain
articles, in -which the
,taxation had -not been
reduced, was 2,3891., and on articles of
the taxation had been rediitt.d,lo2,6oo/.7-total,
1041391. ; but the total deficit for the quarter
under tint head of Custmns and Excise together,
„4,54109.01. ; from which, if there' be deducted
the, off of the above: two nioeths—viz.
104',3f301,—leaves a deficit for the month of March
of not less than 4419,1i391,, being in the
proporileu of snore than five t»illions sterling
pertilinum. Now ineening, as indeed we call
haliejt.o otlu r 114010011, to ,state this last cal-
culation with all ,the fairness due both to this
Minister and
.the public, we must admit that
the eomparison between the Cinitiiiii-house
turns for .the,t,wo first mouths of 105. 'and 1826
respectively, is wanting to verify the state.
