We are authorised to contradict the statements
made in several papers in regard to the magnificent
Highland brooch worn by the Queen at Taymouth.
It was, as we former.ly stated, submitted for her Ma-
jesty's inspection by the Iron. Mrs. Maule, and pur-
chased from our active and intelligent townsman, Mr.
Macgregor, by the Queen's directions.—Perth Paper.

',-?/PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.-,-The official publication of the Re-
venue Accounts is looked to by men of all parties
as a faithful index to the condition of the country.
The impetuosity of partizanship too frequently
induces a disregard of facts. Declamation is
substituted for argument ; and rumours, fre.-
quently unfounded, are made to assume the
character and importance of ascertained truth.
The authenticated statement appears, and the de-
ception is detected. For this reason we abstained
from giving publicity to the reports that were in
circulation during the last week, respecting the
fearful exhibition which the quarterly statement of
the Revenue would present. With the knowledge
that an amount of duty of at least a million ster-
ling had been received in the Customs depart-
ment on the importation.of corn alone; and that
the newly-imposed Income-tax, levied on the
Midsummer dividends and on the salaries of the
public servants in all the official departments,
must realise not less than 300,0001., we could not
credit the reports which prevailed in usually well-
informed quarters, that the forthcoming official
statement would present a decrease in the re-
ceipts. The prediction was in itself so improba-
ble, and the motive which would have been hn-
puted to the publication of the error, should it so
prove, so injurious, that we chose rather to wait
the event, than to incur the responsibility of
alarming the public apprehensions by giving addi-
tional circulation to unauthenticated and impro•
bable reports. The official accounts have set
speculation at rest; and we regret to state, con-
firmed to the fullest extent the rumours of de-
falcation in the public receipts, notwithstanding
the large amount received by the Customs during
the quarter on the account of corn, and which,
under the " sliding-scale," is an accident, and
not an essential ingredient of the revenue; and
the amount received under the operation of the
iniquitous and oppressive Income-tax. • Despite
of these appliances and means of increase, the
quarter's accounts (the details .of which will be
found in another column) present a fearful dinii-
nution!

STANDARD.—The revenue returns for the
year and the quarter respectively ending yes-
terday, have been made up. The last year, as
compared with the year preceding, presents an
increase of 355,981/. ; the last quarter, as coin-
pared with the quarter ending October 10, 1841,
a decrease of 67,4731. It would be wilfully to
deceive ourselves and our readers to treat this
result as satisfactory-, considered absolutely; but
it is only right to say, that the appearance is
worse than the truth of the circumstances
warrants, and that things might have been
much worse, and, as we were proceeding up to the
summer of 1841, must have become much worse.
First, the comparison of the several quarters
ending on the 10th of October, 1841-1842, is a
very unfavourable comparison for the latter.
The October quarter of last year embraced a
general election, always an occasion of,extra-
ordinary expenditure, and, as will be seen by the
table, exceeded the preceding quarter by a
million and a half—the April quarter by nearly
two millions. The quarter ending yester-
day, on the other hand, comprised a
very extensive insurrection, which, though
formidable to nothing else, was certainly
formidable Co the Excise from the shape it took
of a cessation from labour, and, of course, from
expenditure, on the part of the insurgents, as
well as from the shock which it necessarily gave
to the credit and commerce of the districts dis-
turbed. These circumstances of difference will
go a great way in accounting for the falling off
in the last quarter, which was mainly in
the Excise, Stamps, and Taxes. There is, how-
ever, another, and a more important view
of the state of the population suggested by the
return before us. The Excise revenue, and every
other branch of revenue which . depends
upon general consumption, has been steadily
diminishing since the New Poor-law Bill came
into operation. This surely cannot be the effect
of accident; this surely must demonstrate to all
men not utterly stupified by the nonsense of the
Malthusian economists, that there is something
financially wrong iu the change—something that
affects injuriously classes which once imagined
themselves secure from the reflection of blows
administered to mere labourers—classes that
lately would feel indignant at the hypothesis
of any supposed identity between their in-
terests and the interests of the poor. There
is another important fact established by the
late returns, to which we invite the attention of
those Conservatives who have been disposed to
cavil at Sir Robert Peel's financial system, and
more particularly at the Property-tax. It is
easy to say that a Property-tax is burdensome,
inquisitorial, humiliating, though none can pre-
tend that is unjust ; but easy as it is to quarrel
with the accidents, of this, which is, in its
essence, the most just of all forms of taxa-
tion, still the plain blunt question re-
mains, what was the Minister to do? Every
man who has the use of his eyes, and
of his reason, must see from the tables be-
fore us that the limits of indirect taxation (see
the Excise returns) had been passed, and that
the limits of such quasi indirect taxation as the
Assessed Taxes had been, at least, arrived at.
What resource, then, had the Minister, if it was
not a Property-tax .' He might, no doubt have
imitated the attempt of the late Ministers, and
of the swindlers whose exploits supply the po-
lice reports, by wriggling for a few years from
scheme to scheme, " victimising," as the phrase
Is, one interest after another, but in the
end it must come to this—a Property-tax, anda
Property-tax not like the present, in aid of many
other sources of revenue, but a Property-tax
commensurate with the whole national expendi-
ture ; and such. a Property-tax we need not say
would ultimately resolve itself into a contribu-
bution from capital, and. not from income. This
the proprietary classes themselves must admit, if
they cannot show some source of indirect taxa-
tion that would supply the growing deficiency in
the public income.
