We hasten to redeem our pledge, by entering
into an examination of this account.
The first Item slims an increase of nearly
400,0001. in the Custom Duties, a conclusive
proof, if any were wanting, of the revival of, fo-
reign Trade ; the state of our docks and ware-
houses, however, the increased price of freight,
and the general activity of the mercantile inte-
rest, have for some time proved this fact to those
not determined to view everything through a
falae medium, and to add to the distresses
_of
their country by gloomy predictions.
It will be in the recollection of our Reaftrs

that the wet weather, during the harvest of last
year, so much injured the Barley that it was al-
most impossible to make it into Malt, as the natu-
ral consequence, there is a considerable deficiency

in the Duties on Malt and Beer, which necessarily
affects the general total of the Excise'Revenue,
although, we understand, the fact is, that, ex-
cluding those articles, there has been an increase.

tle Dealers in Malt and Beer have been under the

necessity of relying only on their old stocks, on
which the full Duties have been previously paid,
and have not been able to keep them up to the
usual quantity. The temporary deficiency 'of
900,0001. will soon disappear when the stocks are
replaced, and it is most gratifying to reflect that
the late excellent Harvest will afford the means

of doing so.
On the Stamp Duties there is stn increase of
200,0001.

In the Revenue of the Post-Office there is a
nominal deficiency of 90001. We call it nominal
because when we consider the expences necessa,
rily incurred on account of the New Post Office,
we must be convinced that the actual Revenue Gas
increased materially or the apparent- deficiency
would have been much more considerable.

Upon the Assessed Taxes there is an increase
of 70,000/.—Where are the carriages which ,po-
.
verty has put down ?
The Duties of Customs and Excise granted an.,
nually by Parliament have also Increased 300,000/.
and altogether, notwithstanding the bad Harvests
of the last year, and the consequent deficiency of
the Malt and Beer Ditties, there is an actual in-
crease in the Total Produce of the existing Duties
of 100,000/.

What an it`t•esistible ansiVet to, the Party ) -To
all who anticipated _beggary and rnln..--To
who have said " the Seen of England is set.!'

In pity to these disappointed and despairing
Alen, we shall not continue our remarks on this
most gratifying subject. We hope, however,, to
return to it again : and We doubt not (if we may
venture on a prediction) that each succeeding
Quarter will give us an opportunity of doing so
with our present feelings of honest pride and
heart-felt exultation.
