whose influence in several comitats, even OF the
west, is enormous. In consequence Of the Count
Esterhazy's discontent, the comstat of Gras has

From the China Mail, Dec. al
We have been favored with the substance of the
jebt little understeod--the revenue Of China-
A fundamental principle Of the Chinese system
Of revenue is to make each department pay itself.
Ii there is any surplus, the money Is put out at
terest, to te1n reserve fund IN time OF need. Sc
veral institutions, especially those belonging TO
the court, have funded property, independent of
the income from the State, out of which all the
expenditure is paid, and fair surplus always re.
mains In the exchequer.
The Imperial treasury is quite distinct from the
National one. No accounts of lts receipts die
sovereign Of China reserves to himself the power
to appropriate any amount Of money for his own
use; and the twelve millions mentioned In tho
subjoined list, may be taken as the average mini
mum. On this point, however, no &C rtalp data
| exist.
| The list contains solely the disbursements and
income OF the supreme government, and Of the
provincial authorities, In 60 tar as they stand
tratien. Of the strictly local and MUNICIPAL fnan-
ceR, does not appear that any accounts have yet
been laid before the public. 1t is a standing rule,
that the national granaries throughout the empire
should always contain 81 1856 on shin Of paddy,
and II, 022 458 sinh Of rice, to be used in time Of
| famlne.* Whenever the new harvest is brought
| IN, the old stock is sold at a reduced price.
The receipts OF the present year. compared with
those ten years ago, show great falling off, and
1t is to be feared that the decrease of revenue will
be more considerable. The government having
lost much of Its vlgor and energy, the COLLECTION
OF taxes is frequently resisted, whilst series of
tamines and other calamltles in some districts
have rendered unavallng all efforts to realize the
ordinary revenue.
Whenever public works are to be undertaken,
any extraordinary expenditure is to be incurred,
government collects patriotic contributions Their
amount is now and then published In detail, and
nors are frequently rewarded with office and emo
lume nts Tor their munlficence.
Many small items which are expended in main
tanning the numerous dependents Of the Mantchoo
dynasty do not appear amongst the receipts. II Is,
on the whole, very difficult to come at certain re.
| suits but the following statements, which have
been extracted from Chinese state papers, COM
| pared with other documents, may be regarded as
an approximation. II will be borne In mind, how
ever that it is not the gross revenue which Is here
stated, but the estimated surplus, after meeting
local charges; principle followed, though not to
the same extent, In our own revenue returns which
exhibit not the sums collected on account Of each
department, but what is actually paid into the Ex-
chequer. Thus, IN the case of the post. Office the
ESQ, 600 gwen as Its revenue, Is not above half
