turn of the British revenue for 1881. From this,
ii appears that thcr, is net decrease in the last
quarter Of S6,0li ,j4S, and in the var 1861 of no
less than Sl6,Sl7G2O. The failing oil is mainly in
the property tax (nearIy $t6OOoOOO in the year
and in the excise to the amount of nearly 10000
900, IN Customs, Stamps ami Post Office there is
an increase. The annual revenue for 1860 was
within fraction Of seventy two million pounds
$3.50, 400 ,OOO) but the receipts for 1881 amount to
less than sixty-rne million pounds actually to
$3t3,0i9,9SS. The main falling OH is in two arti-
ccS, which show the prosperity or decline of the
middle and working classes, viz Property tax and
excise; arl Il would be amusing, We're il not alSc

VA, of thc victory at Fort Henry, the aanks of the

movement ON each wing ami in front at the same
