the of the state of the revenue of this country during
Year 1840-1, and of the expenses of the Government
110-4ngland and in India, including Pensions, Interest on
shows Debt, Btc., for the same period. The result
"ws, that though a careful collection of revenue and the
1111424ii.te!ianee of two productive monopolies have aug-
ei;Tes h:ed the entire revenue in one year by 25 lacs, the
43ave increased to an extent to leave a deficit of
cou'°23 rupees. It appears that the total revenue of the
u
.I;_,atrY for the year 1840-1 was 21,67,51,148 rupees, the
ttanursements 19,42,57,074 rupees. The difference meets
1.12, enormous home charge (including dividends and the
have on the bond debt) of 2,684,430 L, less the sum we
.sa,ye stated above as constituting the deficiency. The
',4lef increase of expenditure has arisen in the Civil De-
,lttostrne ent, the charges in which have been. 2.2 lacs above
h.__ the previous year, while the military
.charges
in'we he those of 1839-40 by 9 lacs. The principal
neraoase
o in the receipts has arisen out of the collections

The PE OF THE CHILDE HAROLD.

so'iA is another proof of the necessity of a lighthouse, or

, ship entering the harbour in chargeight fine
clear weather, with a smooth sealin too, of a
Pilot, and yet narrowly escapes shipwreck. In the
thPinion of the Bombay Government, and its officers in

an efficient one, and no charge of incompetency for his
thoffice can be pointed out against any individual in it. If
e Government be correct in this opinion—and they
relycouldnot have arrived at such a conclusion without
It full consideration of the subject—then does the loss of
the Donna Pascoe, on this very reef, and the recent mis-
hap (which might have ended in shipwreck) of the
Childe Harold. each of these vessels being at the time in
Charge of a pilot, incontestibly prove the the necessity
of an additional lighthouse being erected without delay,
to point out the position of these dangerous rocks. If a
vessel entering the harbour in mild weather—the sea al-
most witheut a ripple—and in charge of one of the very
efficient Bombay pilot establishment, grazes the rocks,
ttnd narrowly escapes being lost, what must be the situa-
tion of vessels attempting to make the harbour in the
;'44teroll3 weather and hazy atmosphere of the south-
:an monsoon ? With a strong flood tide and
teh breeze during that season, any vessel that

Doer our before a pilot boat can possibly get out

~tillehte.ar weather he cannot steer clear of the rocks,
net be legs, likely will he then be able to do so. The chan-
"een between the Prongs and Tull Reef, which
