We ieaui from tue message tuat the receipts
into the Treasury for the three first quarters
OF this year were Si6,el9,iS7. Deducting
from this sum the proceeds of the loan of five
millions, and the actual revenue from all sour
ccs, thea, for the three first quarters, is
S1l,el9,197. five estimate the fourth quar-.
ter mt the same rate, it will have produced
So 33, 732-which, added TO the proceeds of
the three headquarters, will make the whole re-
venue for the year something like Si4,957, 800.
Ii we are right in this computation, the re-
venue will have fallen short of the estimate of
last year, by something like Il million of dol
lars. part of this deficiency, we suppose,
may he attributable tn the provisions made by
Congress ut the last session for the relief of
debtors for public lands, and some part of it
also to the smallness OF the dividend made
by the Bank ofthe United States. But, rs we
shall have the report itself in a day or two we
will guess no more about its contents at pre-
