LONDON
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1842.

' e stated yesterday that the increase in the miscel-
1;e1:005 items of revenue was derived from what might
40 ailed accidental sources, and accordingly we learn
kv tal Sir R. PEEL'S answer to a question last night put
.4°rd J. RUSSELL, that no less than 340,000/. has
open derived from the ransom of Canton. The revenue
th.,ng.land is swelled by prize-money. It is partly
"
tt trim of booty. We hare made the Chinese pay some
ri the expenses of the war, In whatever light this cu-
lls ls' and, perhaps, unprecedented fact, may be regard
a 40,000/. is purely an accidental sum, and cannot
' tip,unted on in any future returns. But for that sum the
laarY revenue would have shovvn:a decrease in the
qd I.ter of about 288,0001., and, taking that as an
to the year, we may assume a falling off in the re-
Sir%
of 1,196,0001. per annum. We do not wonder at
* 7* PEEL'S alarm, tr at the emphatic manner in
Il i
he, knowing these things, spoke on March 11th ,

'nighty evil that had entered into our finances.

e Pointed out yesterday that the great source of the
kcrease
of revenue in the year was the increase in the
trZattr duties, as compared to the year before. That in-
tgl se is nearly equal to the whole increase for the year,
14,'°001. Deducting from this sum the Canton prize-
*OP (340,0000, the increase in the revenue for the
;:e Year was only 327,0001., or very little more than
alf of the increase of the sugar duties. Instead of
teZevenue indicating, therefore, as some of our Con-
retrtaries assert, an increase of trade, it indicates the
fo;r80. The sole increase is in the importation of sugar.
to ZerY pound of which the public pays about 2d.
Ith the
Planters over and above its price, and over
above the duty, which goes to the state. The
tr „
°'''lt of sugar imported is no index to a healthy
ktioe' requiring for its purchase a corresponding expor-
of he of English produce. A large portion of the price
e sugar is never sent to the West Indies to reward
pw,hcultivators of the commodity ; it is pocketed by the
(1 rs and mortgagees of the soil, who live in England.
8 a mere addition to their income.
q %it while the revenue is falling off, and the expenses
tre,kae Government are increasing, the public debt is in-
ng also. It appears, by a paper just published by
• I)ithb the House of Commons, that the capital of the
of g debt was increased in the year 1841 by the sum
ii•1e);449,_,6001., bearing an annual interest of 210,0001.
K4t has
beginning of the year 1834 the capital of thei
terest"as been augmented by 35,000,000/., bearing an n-
:ef 1'900,0001. Sir R. PEEL'S income tax is toprevent,
hltt`je3nine, this continual accumulation of debt ; and
l.cle,i"Or inconvenience it might cause to individuals, pro-
keth' it Were likely to effect that object, and no better
he eon of accomplishing it could be found, we should
dry-estrained to approve of it. But we fear that it will
mop the sources of future revenue, while we know that
kttioh-e certain and efficacious means of improving the
1)e, opfel resources may be found in doing Justice co the
• %lie' At present they despair, we believe ; and we
that ' without much surprise, though with some regret,
itWayterer'Y persons in Lancashire are preparing to run
from fiscal burdens they can no longer bear.
