By comparing the above tables u..it!). our statement of
yesterday, the correctness of the latter will at once be
perceived. The total amount of the Revenue for the
Year ending the sth January, 1824, was £19,478,401 ;
that of the Year ending yesterday was £50,546,092,
exhibiting an increase in the year 1824, over that of
1823, of £4570,958. It is true that there is a set off
of a decrease of £1,503,267, occasioned by the repeal of
duties, but even when this sum is deducted, there is a
net balance of the year of £1,067,691.
The produce of the Revenue for the Quarter ending

Quarter ending yesterday, 13,571,055/. being an in-
crease on the Quarter of 146,0001. and this too in de-
spite of remitted duties and repealed taxes to so large
an amount. The increase in the Excise for the Quar-
ter just ended, is 793,4311. (or at the rate of more
than three millions a year). On the Stamps (notwith-
standing the repeal of duties on law-stamps) there
is an increase of 79,2221. the Post-office has produced
5,0001. more ; the Taxes 41,961.1. and the Miscellaneous

toms of 38,5041. occasioned by Ore remission of Silk
Duties, and the repeal of taxes on Wood, Silk,

Coal, Bcc.-to the am' nnnt, within the year, of 1,150,0(
We have already stated the amount of increase on

the total increase being r 879,5182, and, the decrease

only £85,851, leaving a net increase on the Quarter of

We have no room for comment, nor is it necessr,r,
since nothing can be more gratifying than the si:inrica
this country presents at the present moment, in
to its finances, and to every branch of commerce. Tile
Revenue,. it will be seen, not only covers a deficit cc.
casioned by the repeal and 'emission of duties to the
amount of about 1,150 010/. in the year, but also )iehli
a surplus on the year of 1,067,691. It is true there
is the produce of the mou...y repaid by Austria,
but deductiq this, there is still an immense sorpks,
—The increase, it will be seen, is almost entirety
on articles which chew, net only the growing
prosperity of the country, but prove the impi,,,ing
condition of the humbler classes cu society. A re.
clueing taxation, and a rapidly improving Ite.emie_
peace at home and abread —an extensive comii
manufactures which outstrip ll the world ext:mt
and valueand a thrising Agriculture arethe distinguish.
ing feature... of this period, and will mark the reign of
his present MAJESTY, as much for its prosperity in
peace, as its success in war. To the Administration, the
highest praise is certainly due, and we trust it will 1 aig
continue .to receive the gratitude and blessings of the
public. .

All the Morning Papers of to-day copy the account
of the Revenue given exclusively in the STAR of last
evening, but not one of them has the candour to state
the source to which they were indebted. Three of the
Papers, however, state that they copy it fr m an
" Evening Paper; but all the other Morning Pape's
either give it without any acknowledgment, or muti-
late it, in order, we presume, to prevent detection. One
Journalist, who is extremely sensitive on plagiarism,
gravely prefaces our account by saying, " We alluded
some time ago to the improvement that had taken
place in the Revenue, for the Qua' ter ending yester-
day." It would have been but fair had this Jour,saliat
stated that all his formei allusions, as to the Revenue,
were founded on the statements, which, from time to
time, had previously appeared in the STAR.
