FRIDAY EvESING.-The Express, in its city arti-
Gle, says: "The signal defeat of the Ministers has
not prejudiced the funds, which arelirm, and even
now 16 per cent. better than they closed yester-
day. Very little business is going forward in any
generally prevails" The report of the Erening
Herald is that "Consols were selling at the open
ing price. For brief period tendency to i'm
provement was apparent, but the movement was
not maintained, though on the whole the general
tone of business most satisfactory" 1t is report
ed in the city that the Ministry do not intend to
sign.
The revenue returns for the quarter ending yes-
terday show decrease on the quarter of fs20,000,
largely attributable, of course to the falling off in
the income tax. Customs as compared with the
corresponding quarter of 1858, show net increase
of about f32 600, chiefly on wine, tea and tobacco
there being on sugar decrease. There is de-
crease on excise of about f65 000 Stamps give an
increase of about IS 000 Taxes exhibit an increase
of about "a 00O The Post office continues to enjoy
a prosperous revenue-yieldng increase of
about fl25, 0OO This may in part probably be at
tributed to stamps affixed to unstamped newspa
pers. In the items Of crown lands and miscellane-
Gus, the difference is slight. With regard to the
account for the year, the customs will be increased
to the extent of fully fl,oO0,0O0, there being in
creases on sugar, tobacco and corn, but losses on
tea, coffee, &c. The excise duties for the year are
increased by f76,000, less sum, however, than
was anticipated from the alteration in the duties on
British spirits On stamps the years increase will
be over half million. On taxes the years in
will be but triAing-probably only f10,0 600.
The falling off in the income tax, owing to the re-
duced rate, reaches nearly $4,000, 00O The Post
Office revenue has increased in the year by $780,
900. Crown lands, as usual, are stationary; the
miscellaneous receipts are in excess by more than
half million. The result on the financial year is a
net decrease of e. 900. But for the falling off
in the income tax, there would, however, have
been positive increase of about e. 500 900.
The statement made by Lord Derby that an addi-
tiona loan of e., 900 900, or possibly $4,000 900,
will be required for India, together with the i'm
pending Russian loan of f1l,OOO,OO0, has had a
hardening effect on the money market; and the uni
versal expectation is that though the supplies ay
be good, the requirements will before long produce
an advance in the rates. At present the rates are
fully ~ per cent, and there is a good demand,
particularly in Lombard street. Large amounts of

the East. Two remittances amounting to three
quarters of million, have already been made to
