REVENUE IN SCOTLAND.

We are happy to state, that the last six weeks' eo's-1
kction of revenue for this quarter has turned out eery`'
productive, and that in most of the excisrable artielea
of consumption, such as beer, spirits, soap, end candles,
there has been a considerable increase of duzy, and the
revenue is evidently improving. The total number of
regular officers of excise stationed in Scotland i. 500,
and from 150 to 200 expeztaiits, who, from the incieaw
of duty, ate generally all employed. The country is
divided in 75 districts, and there are thirteen Collector:.
S vetal new diitilleties have commenced a orking in
this vicinity since the 10th of October, which, with the
oakum: led activity that pervaJes those in opera;
tion, w ill gteatly augment the productiveness g f
this important branch of excise. In the year end-
ing the 10th ultimo, the distill:Nies in this /ratter pro-
duced 1.470,000 gallons, of which r 575,000 were charged
duty for the home market. From one soap w.irk alone
upwards of 4.000/. has been paid tor duty in six week-.
The making of candles has also considerably incomes',
(torn the coolness of the weather for tlys operation, and
the increased consumption that occurs Li the winter
lmonth . The piintfields have hero uncommonly brisk
all year ; at some of them imq pieces a day have b?en
charged di.ty. From one work 40(X)1. has been paid,
which is at the rate of 30,01,01 a year. The duty, how-
-1 ever Cp. a square yarii), is all returned on t :porta-
tion. The six districts into which Glasgow and its vici-
nity are divide t, over each of which are plsced a sure,-
visor, and in which 100 regular excise officers ate sta.
tioned, assi-ted by a number t f expectants, have done
well in all the disisinos. In the eastern district, hum
Stockwell. along the north banks of the Clyde, but in-
cluding Rutherglen. the duty for six weeks has been
15 00 1. l'he assimilation of the Scottish and Irish li-
censing acts to the English acts is likely to add to the
revenue. By these acts a wholesale dealer must, in addi-
to his retail license, take a laliceose for liberty to per-
mit two gallons and upwards from his stocks; and as
400 c'ealers have obtained this additional license in this
city since the 10th ult. this v ill make an increase of
4 0001. his calculated the 'into tounilmr of wli-lesa e
oealers in Leith And Edinburgh will have outaii.rd this
license ; and that the rest of Scotland will require a•
many licenses, which will make an increase from the
operation of the new Acts of 12,000/. Most of the
spirit dealers in the city have now received their li-
censes. About eit,fit new applicants and six o:d ones, have
been refused licenses; and filly of tl:e new appli-
cants have received them. On Friday 1(X) who had
been guilty of selling liquor at improperh. ors, keepier
disorderly houses, appeared at the 11,rrough
Their offences were read in rotation to them, and alter

When Miss PATON was t-k-n ill on Thursday at the
Musical Festival, and search was made for a Medical Gentleman
to render her assistance—not one was to be tumid in the Church.
This, considering that the Festival was fur the benefit of an hoepi-

We understand that his Grace the Duke of Goa DON
has made such arrangements with one of our Scottish banks as will
enable him to pay on' the money his venerated father had in loan
from a number of Gentleriten itt the north. We are further in-
formed, that the ensuing term of Martinmas is the time appointed
for the payment of these monies; and that his Grace, by his new
arrangements, will be able to effect a saving of several thousand
pounds per annum. The sum which will thus be thrown into cir-
culation in the country will be about 400.0031.-I:4k Courier.
