'THE NATIONAL REGISTER • ~~. 1~: A' ;i3of.)/tc;crivt. LONDON, :40NDAY, JANUARY 8. lu•ee o'Llack, p.m. There has been a filling oft in the Quarter's :Revenue• just ended, compared with the correspond lag quarter, of 820.0001. it is true that the quarter ending on the.sth of January, 1820, was unusually productive, on account of a siaplus of sugar duties paid in by anticipation, yet the present inferiority, inasmuch as.the new taxes have since come into full operation, must excite in many unpleasant doubts respecting the continuance of the existing tote of public income.. The Stamps, on the comparative view of the two years. have fallen off 30,0001 not withstanding the unprecedented number of News papers published during her Majesty's trial. The revenue of the Post Office has again diminished, the deficiency being 80,0001. and upon the Land Tax there is a falling off to the amount of 40,0001. There is also a diminution in the Miscellaneous Services of 100,0001. and there has been an increase in the Aseessed Taxes of 1:30,0001.; but this includes the new duties, which, with the increase on the Malt Duty, amounting to 200,0001. it is stated, has occa sioned an excess of Revenue in the year just ended, above that of the year preceding it, of 2,300,0001. —There is, however, in this extended view of the Revenue which the Report referred to exhibits, a virtual deficiency of 80,0001. since the now taxes, which have been solely effective in that period, should have produced 3,139,0001. according to the original estimate. It must be also recollected that the produce of the plan fin allowing a composition fur the As awed Taxes for three years is included in the Report to which we have alluded, which is an anticipation of the surplus tax, and how the deficiency to be made up at the expiration of' that period ? We have also reason to believe, that the new survey relative to the Assessed Taxes throughout the country has been, together with the printing, prodigious ex.. pensive, and thet this new plan has &nen exceed- ingly short of the exrectation entertainca by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of its productiveness. We hope we arc mistaken in our view of the subject, for it would he It fintonate circumstance if the taxes wer. doubly productive, as then we should of course he reli:•vetl from a large portion of our heavy hur. thens; but it is much better to look the afliiirs of the country full in the thee, than to shun inquiry, and ftel the effects of a CAM delusion. • Sir Charles Bainpfyldo, Bart. High Sheriff for ; Sentersctshire, with a noble spirit deserving the highest praise, has destroyed, for the present, the petty yet cruel orders of the mag.i:•trates ageinst Mr. Hunt, of which that.gentleman lately complained in • the Court of Kit's Bench. Sir Charles, as soon as he was informed Z'f the real state of the ells:, went to Ilchester gaol, and there said, " I am High Sheriff for the county; this is my gaol, anti Hunt is iu my CWitAlay j and recollect the ollicers of this gaol are to take their orders from me, Mark me well. Let none of Hr. Hunt's friends be obstrt.cted; but let all male, and particularly his female, friends have free access to him. If vett obstruct any lady, unit particularly the ladies of Mr. Hunt's family, It shall be at your peril. It is quite enough for Mr. Hunt to suffer inlnisoutneut, without.any other puuish went it was cruelty itself to exclude him from his female friends. I did not wish to be placed iu the office of High Sheriff'; but us long as I hold that ofil•x, no wan or set of men shall interfere with my power.' Last week an explosion of gas took place in the Bride-6 , ate of Glasgow. The floor of a shop was a little damaged, anti the glass broke in the window. The explosion oveurred in consequence of a bay pul ling out the plug front the service pipe, and hiller:l. lug the piss with a candle. The City of Chichester has lately remitted to the Queen's Plata Committee 141. 9s. ; and the town of l'itiworth 71. 13s 6d.

Thursday, at on o'clock, the . match fbr 100 gni guineas to skate.a mile in three minutes, was decided. - Previously to the match being performed, the man was the fiwourite, and was backed at odds at Tat tersall's and other places. The person selected to preform •the match appeara to be a countryman in the neighbourhood of the fens. He started a few seconds before time, and came . up in speed to the scratch at the moment appointed, and performed the distance in seven seconds tinder the three minutes. At first it was reported in town that a dispute had arisen as to the correctness of the time-keepers. The report is, however, unfounded, The spot selected for the performance was on the fens, near to Isichana !bur miles from Lip, and 11 miler from Newmarket. Considerable bets were depending on the match, and the 'result has surprised most persons, though without reason : we have no doubt a steady skater might perferm a mile in two minutes. On Friday evening, at six o'clock, the Western part of Sussex were in great anxiety, front a large ,body of fire which illuminated the horison to a great extent; various conjectures were fbrmeal as to its source, which, tiil known, from the strong N. E. wind, and the prohabilityof water being inaccessible in consequence of the froA, were sufficient to excite appalling fears in the minds of every one. It ap pears that some of the gypscy tribe had kindled a fire at the northern ex!remity. of Slindon Common, and not having properly extinguished the same, the embers re-kindled, and was the cause of alarm.— Soine fences belonging to Mr. H. Hobbs, were burnt, and a shrubbery scorched so much, as to leave little probability of re-vivitications. On Wednesday evening last, about nine o'clock, Mr. William Pyonan, youngest sun of Mr. Pyclim, briei.:ayer, of Abingdon, was discovered lying un the Abingdon road, neur li.ennington-gate, about a mile from Oxfords by a young taoman on her road to Kennington. She mentioned the circumstance to two men whom she met; whether they wont to the spot does not appear, but they certainly hail not the humanity to convey him to a place of shelter. The driver of the NVantuge mail cowing into Oxford abaut nine o'clock, saw him lying on the road, and imagined that ho was a person in a state of intoxi cation. In the morning a labourer going to his work discovered Mr. ryeauta, and immediately ca n e d . t o his assistance Mr. /)rat‘ vt.t, of the paper mill, near the place, to whose house they conveyed him, and every attention in their power was paid to lie was quite insensible; after washing his head with warm water, a severe wuuml was discovered in'the buck part of the heath His father was sent for; and came to Mr, Drewett's with all possible expedition. Qa searching his son's pockets, he dis covered that his pocket-book was missing, which ituaginetl ceatnintal about 121. in notes, and cheequu fur a considerable sum Tho pocket-book was afterwanis found in a field, with its contents taken out. How Mr. l'yetuan came in this dreadful situaion has not yet been ascertained. It appears that he lest the New Inn, in Oxford, about eight o'clock on the Wetl.iesday manna., after taking two glasses of brandy anti water and some oysters, It is probable that he might have been thrown from his bora; and drag a ;ed on the ground, m the horse was found at no great distance, and the patent stirrup was open; m which case some villain ur villains, finding him unable to resist, must have taken away his pact book. It is reported that sumo silver remained in his breeches-pocket. We are sorry to learn that Mr. ryentan ea/Minuet, in a state which leaves little hope of a recovery.
