THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

We inserted a paragraph in our paper of yesterday, to
the effect that there would be an increase in the Revenue
of the Customs for the current quarter, owing to the
large amounts paid for duties on Grain and Flour,
and which at the time we believed to be correct ;
but from more authentic information, which may
be securely trusted, notwithstanding the large amounts
paid for duties on Corn, unless the payments of
the present week should be such as to alter the result as it
appeared on Monday last, the Customs will exhibit a de-
crease. Contrary, however, to all expectation, from the pre-
vailing complaints of distress—the Excise, Stamps, and
Assessed Taxes, will all exhibit an increase. The quan-
tity of foreign grain and flour admitted for consumption
within the present quarter, will amount, of all kinds, to
nearly a million of quarters : but the duties on wheat
have varied [from 10s. Bd. to 235. Bd. per quarter,
and it was at the low rate during the first week of
July that the bulk of the duty on wheat was
paid : end as sugar—being the greatest article subject to
Customs Duty—has not been cleared for consumption to
so great an extent as last year, the Customs on the
whole, do not produce a result so large in amount as was
expected.

CITY. Twzi.vs o'CLogic.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing, and the prices are as
yesterday. The Consol Market up to the present time :is in a
stagnant state. Consols, which left oer yesterday at 89b I for
the Account, opened at the same price; at present may be quoted
a shade lower, 89b and 891 for next Account.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Consols, which declined g per cent. in the early part of the
morning, have spin resumed their former price, and may be quoted
at nug for the Account, and 871 seUers for November. The
business doing is of little importance.

Next Monday private transfers wiU be open at the Bank for the
following Stocks :—Reduced 4 per Cents. 1826 ; Se per Cents,
Reduced; Long Annuities ; and Life Annuities. The above trans-
fers, it is supposed, will give some animation to the market.
The Foreign Market has been very active this morning. Brazil
Stock has been in great demand, owing, it is said, to favourable
accounts baying been received from Rio Janeiro : it has got up e
per cent. Greek Stock and Portuguese have also improved.

Private letters from Mexico, of the Bth Aug. are
favourable to the cause of the liberty of that republic.
It appears that, since the expedition has landed, all
parties have united, and are using the greatest exertions
for the destruction of the invaders.

A rich landholder of the island of Madeira having
left, and who is arrived at Lisbon, states that island to
be on the eve of a great commotion. An insurrection
was daily expected to take place.
In addition to the horrible list of cruelties perpetrated
in Portugal, recorded in another part of this paper, we
have seen a private letter setting forth that two respecta-
ble gentlemen—Custom-House Officers—supposed to be
rich, because they dealt partially in discounts, and sus-
pected to be liberal, were seized by order of Don
MIGUEL, and cast into adu , ,n. When this letter
left Lisbon, these unhappy vi were dying, and had
just received the sacrament. At sunset, every shop and
door are shut ; and no one is suffered to appear in the
streets, except Royalists and Police.
Considerable fears having been entertained for the
safety of the Rotterdam Steam Packet, which left that
city Sunday morning last, we are happy in conveying
the intelligence that she put into Dover yesterday,
having weathered the gale.
In the Attwood, put into Ramsgate from Rotterdam,
a King's Messenger arrived, and instantly set off for
Downing-street.
We have
.reason to believe that the arrival of his
MAJESTY at Brighton will take place between the 12th
and 15th instant. A detachment of Life Guards (we
believe the Ist) is expected on the 12th ; and Sir HER..
BERT TAYLOR is undenstbod to have been at the barracks
with Colonel TnAcs; w cid., of the 15th Hussars, on
Saturday, for the quarters and duties of the
Guards and of the ing's assort. The Guards are to do
the town duty, and the 16th are to be in more immediate
attendance upon the King.—Brighton Gazette.
