LONDON!
WEDNESDAT EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1821.

STOCK EXCILINUE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Yesterday 50,0001. Consols were at one period
offered in the market at 73 fur money, and Consols
were done as low as 79} for the November Account,
and money was worth 5 per cent. The latter part of
the day one French broker sold largely. The fall
was attributed to a large Bull Account, and it is cal-
culated that from 18 to 20 millions 3 per cents are
held on continuation by the monied men for the spe-
culators for a rise. Ministers still continue to issue
Exchequer Bills to any amount that the public may
require. The market opened this morning at 7$ for
Money, and 7,91 for the Account, and the market
looks heavy.

On ushering in the statement of the Irish Revenue
for the year ended the 10th of October last, the
Treasury scribes renew the exultation they expressed
on the returns of the English It. venue. According
to this statement there is an increase in the Irish Re-
venue in the year ended on the 10th of October, 1841,
of 216.3251. 16s. 21d., and in the quarter ended on
the Ilth of October last, there is an excess of 147,0001.,
beyond the corresponding quarter last year. In
looking into the account we find an excess in the Cus-
tom Duties of the last quarter of more than 96,0001.,
ar.d in the Excise of above 51,0001., which, taken to-
gether, is greater than the amount of the whole ex-
cess of the late quarter beyond the corresponding
qn 'tier of last year, and constitutes above two-thirds
of the increase of the Revenue of the last year above
that of the preceding. Now, let it be remembered
that the Kino's visit to Ireland took place in the Oc-
tober quarter. Let the unprecedented influx of other
visitors of high distinction into Dublin, the extra ex•
penditure they would incur and occasion, the costly
preparations made for their reception, the lavish use
lef every article of consumption, and the duties payable
on foreign importations and domestic productions to
meet that extraordinary demand, let all the particulars
of that splendid and convivial season be considered, and
the wonder only is, that the excess is so little. Afeer all
the advantalte, however, which the Revenue derived
from the extraordinary circumstaners of the October
quarter, we timl that in the Excise there is a decrease
in the whole of the year of almost 69.000/. In the year
ended Oct. 10, Its 20, the amount of the Excise was more
than 1,650,000/., and in the year ended Oct. 10, 1t421,
little more than 1,550,000/. What reason the
Treasury scribes have in such circumstances, to boast
of the produce or the prospects of the Revenue of Ire-
land we know not ; nor since we were able to develops
their artifices, can we find they have better grounds
for exultation in the Revenue of England. To-mor-
row we shall chew that the friends of truth have
neither been idle nor unsuccessful in the detection of
dirir fallacious accompts.

We still hear of conflicting rumours as to the sitna- '
tion of General San Martin. Should it however
prove true that the Patriots have been successful, and
we are very much disposed to think that they have,
notwithstanding the fiat contradiction of this news in a
paper of this morning►, there is every probability that
the whole coast of the Pacific by this time is in the
hands of the Independents This, together n ith

Spain sufficient leisure to occupy itself in dividing and

brethren, and of a bad bargain make the must. The
Liberals of Spain would have long since effected that
desired object, were it not fur the old Ultras and
their beloved Rusbroiderer, who are 'the curse of

render their loss of power of the first consequence to
