REVENUE OF IRELAND

It Is not generally koown in what degree Ireland
is at present a burden to Great Britain. At this mo-
sent all should know it I it is a part of the persici-

The whole account bas now bees published of t►e
last quarter's, sad of the last year's revenue, up to the
Sth hutant, with that of the corresponding quarter and
the preceding year. Before any part of it was made
knows to the pnblic, it was announced. accoeding to
the language usual ea the like occasions, as an eel-
dense of the Ihrurishiag state of the National Finances
and while a slight acknowledgement was made. by the
Ministerial writers, of the distresses of the Agricul-
tarel classes. which. wilh their dependants, by the
way. constitute almost a moiety of the active part of
the community, it was impudently wealetained that the
amount of the tales was a satisfactory proof that the
country. was, with this exception, in a very prosperous
condition. It must occur to all oar readers that this
language. which is nothing more tbs. the cant of
office, has bees so often repeated and as often exposed,
that it fails to produce the least effect on those whom
it is designed to delude. It is an easy matter, how-
ever. to gloss over an account, and the trick may re-1
main undetected till the statement comes to be exam-
luta. The boast of Monday (with the advocates of
Meadow) was. that there bad been an increase in the
last quarter of more than four busdred thousand
pagoda above the corresponding quarter of last year,
the amount of the whole year estemetied that

°Ake last. by almost six hundred thousand pundit.
This &mount. to those who live on taxes, was extremely
cheering I but. like many a preceding statemeat
was wilted up with guile. The amount of the cue-
wins of last quarter. above that of the corresponding
quarter of the preceding year, was more than three
hundred thousand pounds ! This statement looked
exceedingly well, till the amount of the preceding
year was compared with that of the year immediately
before. and then it was found that the customs of that
year, with which those of the last were compared,
were more than seven hundred thousand pounds less
than these of the year that had preceded it. Com-
pared, then, with the year ending J y. 1820,
which we have no reason to believe was a year re-
markably flonrisblog, the customs of the last year
will exhibit a defalcation of more than two hundred
thousand pomade. That the customs of last year
should bows **creased above those of the preceding
we are not all surprised. The independence of Spanish
Ametica has opened markets new and vast to the en-
terprise of our merchants; and shackled as our ma-
nufacturers are with &cal duties, compared with those
of other sakes, thuimdaatry and skill of our artisans
have tornished their proportion of supplies for the
encreasell 4•414.4. The factories of Manchester. Hi,.
