In the STAR of Saturday we exclusively announced
the flourishing state of the Quattees Revenue, and gave
RS correct, an account of the amount of the two most
important branches of it—the Customs and Excise, as
could then he ascertained. We'now subjoin the Official

Returns : and from the following Tables, it will be
seen 't11:11 we were perfectly correct in announcing to the

Public ons. Saturday, that the Returns for the Quarter's

Revenue were " highly favourable, and strikingly ex-
. hibited the growing prosperity of this great country."
On refetiiiig to the tables, it will be seen that, not-
withstanding the reduction of taxes, and the remission•
of the 45,0001. duties on silk, that the increase of the
revenue for the year just ended, is 1,181,040/. the pro-
duce of the Revenue for the Year ending the 10th of
October, 1823, being 49,216,0521. and that for the Year

ending the 10th of October, 1824, being 50,400,0921.

The decrease on the Quarter just .ended, compared

with the 'corresponding Quarter of last Year, is only
notwithstanding, es we stated on Saturday, du.
ties have. beeti repealed sipce July to the amount of
.Z 20,000 a.weelc.
The increase on the. Year is, in the Customs, £318,920;
&amps, £417,077 ; and Post Office, £89,000. The in-
,crease in the Post Office is a sure sign of the commer.
prosperity pf the country. The decrease on the
• Year is in the Excise and in the Taxes, on .account of
•their being remitted and repealed.
lit the Quarter just ended, the increase is as follows :,

_

Excise 278,8991. %nips 147011.P0ti Office 12,15001
The decreaie is the Customs (which we stated on Sa-
turday to be about 105,0001.) is 107,9851.; the;decrease ln
the Taxes is 267,6461. and in the Nlifeellatieous, 75,5031.
The total produce of the Qtratter endiiig 'the 10th of
October, 1823, is 13,061,5501. and that of the Quarter
ending the 10th of October, 1824, is 19,019,0501. leav-
ing, as we have already stated, it decrease of 12,500/. :
how different the result would have been butt for thet
duties remitted, and the taxes repealed, we stated on.
Saturday. It is, however, much• more gratifying 40
find the Revenue sustained by the increasing resources
of the country, when the taxes are reduced, than
by its being kept up by their retention. The in-
crease on all the articles, where there is an in-
crease, is the manifest result of an improving commerce,
and a flourishing state of the country in all its-branches—
the decrease is only where Taxes have been repealed to
a much larger extent than the Revenge has fallen off; in-
deed the augmented productiveness of those branches
has, to a considerable extent covered the'reduction. We
have not time to-day to dwell on the particular items in
which the consumption has iecreased, but we sincerely
congratulate the country, on its. gi owing prosperity, un-
disturbed tranquillity, and genet at happiness. The
following are the Official Returns :
