A statement of the Revenu...
The Times, 1824-07-06T00:00:00

A statement of the Revenue for ilte Mtidsummer quar- ter ending yesterday is circulated, from which we are left to infer an incresse in the total produce of the taxes, though a diminished balance on the foot of the general ac- count. It would appear that the Customs for the quarter just closed have fallen somethihg short of two millions sterling, while those of the correspopding quarter last year were %090,000o.; furtlier, that the same branch of reve- nue for thc last half year produced 4,192,0001.; and for the first half year of 1823, 42~15,0001. Thus upon the face of the account it looks as if the decline of the Customs had becn accelerated during the last quarter. But it is to be considered on the otlher side, that the remission of certain duties, and the large repaymemt by the Treasury of those already paid upon the stock in hand, camp only into recent operation. These two circumstances taken together, ac- count, we are told, for no less a sum than 650,0001., which ought to be credited to the quarter just expired, if we would institute a fair comparison betwveen it and the anl- swering quarter of 1823. Drawback dutis ,?500,o00 Sik aqdtlpa, dutles repealed . . 160,000 ?650,000 Deduct excess of Customs in Mlidsummer quar- ter of 1823 over Midsumnier quarter 1824 . 96,000 Real Increase of Customs in last quarter .?554,000 We wait to see the official accounts before we can de- termine any thing in regard to the Excise and other sources of the public revenue. An evening paper asserts, that there is an improvement in alimost" every branch of taxation during the last quarter. Although taught by experience how to appreciate such predictions, we shall merely reply, that we hope so.

Mr. Baran GIrow's charge to the Jury in the case of "Porter v. Jones," at Wells, has been the subject of geraeral con. versatioi and admiration at the bar on the Wefstern Circuit. His condensed set luminous view of the evidcnce differing eo esscially from the dull, dogged reoapitulation of evidence which is sometineas heard from the Rench, and the strain of eloquent indignation in which he animnadverted on the ext-aordinary scenes of deoravitv- which the trial developed, are calculated to make that charge long I rernembereda at a judicial chef d'ouvre. At the close of the trial, fMr. Adam was heard to observe to Mr. Baron Garrow-."

The C5aristrAx said, that he had, since the trial, caused inquiry to be-made respecting the robbe;ies alleged to have been committed by the prisoner's son, and the result had proved the correctness of the statetnent made by the prisoner.,Still, however, no robbery. nor any other crime the boy might have committed,could justitfv the dreadful punishment that the prisoner hiad inflicted on him. The motives of the prisoner in correcting the lad might be good, and so far had its weight with the CWurt, as. to,;lcgsen the punishiment the prisolor would receivc. But for the result of thc inquiry since made by t'e Court, the prisoner would have received the utmost punishment thc law allowed.

Francis Workiutaz was opposed by Mr. HEATH for AI r. Whlit- iore, the brewer. It appeared that the insolvent had been Alr. Whitmore's collecting-clerk, and became a defaulter to the amount of 381. 7.., in consequence, as the insolvent stated, of having lost the s.m of 43!. whilst in a state of intoxication. He paid Mf. Whi!- more 81. 7s. in cash, and gave him his promissory note for the re- maining 301., out of which he afterwards paid 51. more ; but he was ultimately arrested for the balance. When questioned as to tlhe time he received certain payments on behalf'of his employer. the insolvent pulled out a pocket.book to refresh lis memory. Mr.HZATsr asked to see it ; tie insolvent with some reluctance gave it to hinm open at the place lie was reading, but protested against counsel's exatnining itbeyointd that. MIr.

Cochranie, arrivel from Mlexico and the Havannah, after a short passage, bringing despatches from Mr.Lionel Harveyi his Majesty's Commnissioner at lexico. Sir Thomas Cochrane left that city on the 21st of July, Tampicn, 80i of August, and the Hlavannah 21st clt. The most important fact wve learn by tthe Fortc bs, a cronfirimation of the failure of the ex-Emperor Iturbide's revolutionary intentions. and of iis being shot in a few days after he lhad lanu(ed. It appears that Iturbide. though he had nuaiiy larthaons ai.d well-wishers in that country, had maJe nio arrangements of hig plan, nor iniiciaa- tion to his presurned frields, on the part of the coast where he landed, of his being there. Ilis appearance on chat coast was so un- expected, and his reCOgnlitiOn and deaLh sO cetisin antlpvrompt, that the ciricrrstance dlid nor excite theleait einotion in the country; but, it is considered, will tend nmuch to its tranquillity, and the stability of the present Governiient.

It appears ttiat lile English mining specuoalists w ece proceedli4lg hut lowlv; uiley have nliicli to do, and must expend large sums of money ere Ithey can ce. alize any advantages; indeeti, it is probable, tht the 'tirst adveiiriu- rers will tie, and those that may 6ucc.ed to their entleavours will reap the greates: share of protit8. It is nec expected that one ounce of silver will be raised by English c:witalists ior two years; as it is necessary to erect inore iinallenee macHinery, to clear tile miies, idrive new adiits, and maite new drains, to avc id the a!ccwimiat ion of water.
