IIAGL7F6, Deo. 4. From the Papers hill before tie
Second Chamber by his Excellency the Minister et
' Finance, it appears that the excess of the expendisan
above the receipt on the Ist January, 1821, amounted to
the SUM of 3,553,434/. During the course of the yea
($2O, the Import and Export Duties and the Excise
(levied according to the existing regulations) fell short
of the estimate by 2,987,3218. The revenue stitieg
from the duties of Registration and Domains, as they
are called, for the same year, fell short of the estimate
by I, 266,2810. On comparing the produce of the first
seven months of 1821, with that of the first seven maths
of I S2O, there appears in the Import and Export Deities
and Excise a deficiency of 519,.8 11. in this year enmpsred
with 1829. There is also a deficiency in the Registrs-
tints and Domains for the same period.
The arrangements and reductions contemplated by
Ministers in the various departments of tiorernatest,
to take effect (according to a minute of the Treasim)
from the sth of next month, are daily expected to lie
announced. We understand the Dockyard at Sheer.
ness is to be reduced in its establishment, and the
Commissioner, the Honourable Courtesy Boyle, is to
he a Commissioner of a new Hoard, which is to be es-
tablished fir the conducting of the Pieventive ferrite:
Vice Admiral Sir Henry Hotham and Captain T. C.
Shortlanil (the present chief director of that depart.
went) to be the two other Commissioners of the Board.
The Preventive Service is to be extended to parts of the
coasts not yet under its control, and more perfectly on
in others. Three new stations have been jtbt
appointed in this neighbourhood—at Sontlisea-restlel
Hell head, and in the Isle of Wight. We are continnally
informed, that, notwithrtand log all the means adopted,
and vigilance kept up, more contraband spirits are
successfully run than can find a market. It appears
to be the opinion of the well-informed on thistahect,
that the only effectual preventive to smuggling would
be, by lessening the duties on the articles which are
in common use. It is said that Sir Josh's Rowley is
likely to succeed Sir Henry Hotham, as one of the
Lords • 1 the Admiralty.—(Hanspahise Tdegrepi.)
The Board of Admiralty have been employed all
the last week in inspecting the D..;:k-yards at Cha-
tham and Sheerness, for the purpose of making lath
further reductions among the persons employed, as
may he deemed practicable. The Doelt-yards op fo•
reign stations are also to be reduced in their several
establishments.

The plan of retrenchment which has been commenced
in other departments, will, it is stated, also be earitsl
into effect, at the end of the present year, in all the
offices connected with the Navy. A great number of
clerks will retire on various stipends, and it is said that
the reductions are not to be confined to inferior persons,
but that some of the Commissioners are likewise to give
np their situations, both at the Navy and Victualling
Boards.
Three battalions of Veterans are, it is said, to be im-
mediately raised in Ireland. His Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief was expected to arrive in town
yesterday, for the purpose of arranging tke plan of or.
ganization upon which they are to be farmed. .
The Gazette of Saturday offers a reward of 100
guineas to any person (except the principal) who shall
discover the individual or individuals who shot at Mr.
Anthony Rouse on the evening of the 93th of Novene
her last, as he was returning from Truro, and wounded
him dangerously.
The same Gazette also notifies that the Speaker has
issued his warrant for the election of a Member far the
County of Antrim, in the room of the Ltte Hugh Henry
