LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1827.

QUARTER'S REVENUE.

We this day lay before our Readers the
Official Statements of the net produce of the
Revenue of Great Britain, in the years and
quarters respectively ended on the sth inst.
The general results are, that there is a decrease
of 1,709,8971. in the receipts of the year ended
the sth of April, 1827, as compared with the
receipts of the year ended the sth April, 1826 ;
and a decrease of 469,548/., in the receipts of the
last quarter, as compared with the receipts of
the quarter ended the sth April, 1826.
It will be observed that the decrease in the
year's Revenue arose from a diminished receipt
on all the permanent branches of Revenue, the
only head showing an increase being that of
Miscellaneous Receipts.

The decrease in the last _Quarter's Revenue
arose as follows :

In the Excise £409,694
stinnis
Poit Office 30,000
Miscellaneous

From which is to be abated the in-
X 579,484
crease in the Customs of £97,886 /
£109,936
Taxes 12,100

Leaving an actual decrease of £469,548
We will not, like some of our cotemporaries,
mislead the public by endeavouring to prove
that this is a most gratifying account. On the
other hand, we think it affords matter not per-
haps for alarm, but certainly for serious consi-
deration ; and it forcibly proves the correctness
of the view we have taken of the subject of
Finance, and the necessity which we have point-
ed out for facing that subject fairly and manfully.
In considering the diminution, both in the
Year's and Quarter's Revenue, we must not put
out of sight that the comparison of each is made
with a year, and a quarter, in which a large de-
crease had taken place, as compared with the
preceding year and quarter. The Revenue for
the Year ending April 5, 1826, was less by
1,231,131/. than that of 1825 ; and the Revenue
of the Quarter ending the same day was
682,799/. less than that of the, same Quarter of
1825. We are, therefore, comparing our present
receipts with those for periods which had been
affected by the change of circumstances which
had taken place, and from the effects of which it
was to be hoped we should, by this time, have
partly recovered.

If we look at the decrease which has taken
place in every Quarter since the end of 1825,
with one exception, namely, that ending sth Jan.
last (when there was an 'increase of 142,9961., as
compared with the Quarter ending Jan. 5, 1826),
we cannot but admit that the falling off of the
Revenue has been of most serious amount. The
decrease has been as follows :

Quarter ending sth of January, 1826...a£1,189,966
sth April 682,799
sth July
10th October 890,050
6th April, 1827 469,548
It will now become the duty of his MAJEsTY's
Ministers to consider the causes which have pro-
duced this progressive decrease of the public
Revenue, and to propose such measures as may
not only counteract its effects, but restore the
Revenue to a state of improvement and pros-
perity.
In the mighty d.
and although the Empire
we entertain the fullestconfidence,
temporary difficulties do cloud our financial hori-
zon, we trust that the wisdom and energy of his
MAJESTY'S Councils will speedily find means
to dispel them.
