HERALD-Lii;e believe that many years have passed
since a newspaper has had to congratulats its rea&rs
upon such a financial return as that which it is our
gratification to present in this day's Heratd. The
return was made up yesterday, one day before the
regular day; but against this we must set off the'
leap year, so that the periods to be compared are
equal; each consisting of 365 days; and-what is the
result of the comparison ? An increase upon the last
year of no less than four millions three hundred and
eighteen thousand one hundred and sixty-seven pounds
sterling. This increase pervades nearly all the sources
of revenue ; absolutely all the important ones—viz.:—
Customs
Excise . . 474,607
• -Property
Post-office
Crown Lands ....
Miscellaneous -
The heads of decrease are:—
Stamps 4.,"11y„,„.„0w,,,„.....1.24.099... •
Tax 4 - •
It is right to remark that under the head of pro-
perty-tax, four quarters are counted in the last year
against three.quarters in the year preceding ; and we
must, therefore, in order to approximate to aperfectly
just. comparison, deduct the property-tax of this
y pars quarter, corresponding to the omitted quarter
of last year—namely, of the July quarter. This we
find to amount to 861,7091. After this deduction,
however, the year's increase will be found to amount
to nearly three millions and one half sterling. We
cannot, by any use of language, improve upon this
fact ; and here we present it to our readers, accom-
panied by our sincere congratulations.
CHRONICLE.—The quarterly revenue tables,
which are usually made up on the sth of April, were
Completed yesterday, on account of this day being a
CloSe holiday. They will be fund 'in another
column, and it gives us pleasure to learn from them
that the productive energies of the community are
not impaired. The increase in the quarter is—Cus-
toms, 384,9101; Excise, 85,316/. ; Stamps, 45,8851. ;
Taxes, 1,987/. ; Property-tax, 107,627/. ; Post-
office, 30,000/.; Crown Lands, 30,0001.; making a
total increase in the ordinary revenue for the quarter
of 685,7251. There is a decrease under the head
Miscellaneous of 500,264/., which, though balanced
against them in the account, scarcely affects the
sources of revenue derived from the industry
of the people. The total increase in the
quarter, both of ordinary and extraordinary
revenue, is 825,2981., from which, deduct-
ing the decrease, there is a sum of 325,034/. more
than in the corresponding quarter of 1843, to be apt.
plied to the services of the State. In the year there
is a decrease in the amount of stamps of 12,6991., and
in the amount of taxes of 73,0641., but on all the
other branches of the ordinary revenue there is a con-
siderable increase. The total increase, deducting the
decrease of the revenue for the year, is 4,318,1671.,
which is, however, less than the amount of the Pr:-
perty-tax, -5,356,887/, by 1,038,720/. This turns
out, therefore, a much more productive tax than Sir
Robert Peel anticipated ; and the sum it yields shows
that the whole of the incomes of 150/. and upwards,
the limit of the tax, amount to soinething more than
200,000,0001. a year. What a prodigious mass of
wealth! On the whole, these tables are satisfactory
as an index to the still increasing trade, consumption,
and wealth of the community.

ADVERTISER.—The usual abstract of the
yearly and quarterly revenue, issued last evening,
appears, like everything emanating from the present
Government, far more gratifying to a casual view
than to a close examination. There i, on the year's
income, a Mal increase of 4,318,1671., of which
325,0341. appears on the quarter just closed. This
total increase has been chiefly effected in the follow-
ing items :

Increase on Increase on
the Year. the Quarter.
Customs £658,335
Excise.
Property- tax 2,900,599
Post-office
At first sight it would appear that this-increase in
the Customs and Excise has arisen from an increased
consumption of articles subject to those duties ; but
the real fact is, that this increase has arisen from the
more vigilant management of the Custom-house, since
the recent exposure of the enormous frauds of which
it had previously connived at the perpetration, as
well as from the more stringent enforcement of
the Excise laws generally. The supposition of any
material improvement in the condition of the people
is a sheer fallacy. So much for one portion of this
vaunted increase ; and with respect to another, that
presenting "the largest item—the income-tax—the in-
dustrial classes, the chief sufferers from this iniquit-
ous impost, can find but little cause of congratulation
in recognising the vast amount which is wrung from
their hard-wrought earnings to fill the general coffers
which misrule has exhausted, and which the authors
of that misrule would leave in a state of bankruptcy
rather than forego a single item of their own super-
fluities, or in any way reduce-their extravagance and
profligacy. The total amount of the income-tax for
the year is upwards of five millions three hundred
thousand pounds, an excess of nearly one million and
a hay over the Premier's calculation. What are the
reductions to be made in consequence of this excess ?
Or are we to have, as Sir Robert Peel recently in-
timated, this most unjust impost continued beyond
the three years which was at first fixed as the period
of its duration ? These are questions to which the
country ought emphatically to require a distinct and
specific answer from those intrusted with its govern-
ment.
