Last night, the Cffasscettolt of the EXCHEQUER
`brought forward what is called the Budget; and we con-
gratulate not merely the Right Hon. Gentleman, but
the country at large, on the gratifying view of the state
dour finances, his round but " unvarnished tale" prey
bents. The length at which we have given the speech
of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, while it leaves
little room for observation, almost renders it unneces-
sary: a more satisfactory esposi of the state of revenue
was never. considering the circumstances, made in Par•

liament; and so ,it was acknowledged to be by mard
Gentlemen who are not in the habit of voting with Mt
nisters, particularly on financial subjects.
Oa referring to the debate, it will be seen that twenty-
seven millions of Taxes have been repealed since the
peace; yet such bas been the increased consumption of
tax.ible articles, that the actual revenue has decreased
but nine m;llions—the remaining eighteen millions
having arisen from the. improved condition of the
Iwo& A better proof of the increased comforts of
the great bodp of the people at large could not be
adduced.

It will (muter be seen that notwithstanding the re- .
cent commercial difficulties have fallen heavy on the
Revenue,and will still affect it, yet there is every prospect
that the income for the current year will exceed the
expenditure by upwards of seven hundred thousand
pounds. This calculation is founded on the fairest
estimate, and as Mr. ROBINSON has for three sue.
cessive Tears under sated the probable income, there is
eve, y reasPn to rely on the correctness of hisealculations.
This surplus will more than cover the deficiency in the
tobacco duty, which was omitted to be renewed last
year, and is now to be permanently reduced Is. per lb.
which is equivalent to a repeal of taxes to that amount..
Tor the remaining details we musr refer to the able
and manly speech of the CUANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
which is not more remarkable for the explicitness of the
statements it contains, than for the firmness of character,
honout.ible independence, and acuteness of observation
it displays. In the House, as we have stated, it wail'
hailed with rapturous enthusiasm—in the C ty kis tli
.:übject if universal praise, and in the country it wil
we feel confir4", .otOductive of the happiest Mot
