BREsLAU. June 10. 1854

Some time since member Of the Upper House
Of the Parliament placed ia my hands the esti-
mates of the Government Gf revenue aud expeadi-
tpre for the year 1862 to enable me to send Oh
for once something like q rational yi,w of the
matter. / must confess that the document
proved so formidable, that | gave up the idea OF
mskiDg an abstract of it. Bot now, having had
some leisure upon my bands, and public affairs
buvirg assumed an aspect which will render this
Information desirable TO many of your readers,
have been breaking my hesd over it sgaiu, and
hope YOU will find my abstract not quite worthless
saough TO be thrown at once " into the basket
The estimates are made upon most careful ex-
animation ard comparison OF the revenue soi
expenses Of the three preceding years, and all the
Oh ieDt pod ling industry OF the German, together
with his Extraordinary statistics, taeDts Is brought
so bear upon this annual document. The accuracy
Of these estimates is as remarkable, is tue COZ
trary in similar documents prepared at Washington.
Here they seem to use language and hgures to tell
the truth--theTe to conceal It,
The revenues are divided into niue divisions,
which will take up in order, with an occasional
remark thrown in.
