POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY. '
The Revenue-tables will be made up this evening, but an anticipatory- account of them has already found its way into the Times. Upon the whole the revenue seems to be nearly stationary, but tending to a rise. On the quarter there will be a decrease in the Customs of 40,0001., imputed: to the abolition of the corn-duties, and the increased imports of Colonial and Indian sugar at the expense of Foreign sugar : for some weeks the Customs have been rising with unusual elasticity. On the - Excise there will be an increase of 36,0001. ; Stamps, 40,0001. ; Income-tax, 30,000/. •;. Post-office, a small sum ; on the Taxes, a decrease of about 20,0001. The year will show a decrease in the Excise, of 89,0001. ; Taxes, 9,0001. ; in Stamps, an increase of 257,0001. ; Income-tax, 65,0001. [Customs not stated]. The balance in the Exchequer will be above 10,000,0001.
The Globe adds some particulars, averring that upon some points "our contemporary must have been greatly misled." The Globe expects a net increase upon the quarter of 400,0001., and says that upon the year there will be a small increase in Customs, and one in the Excise of 400,0001.
