The Sydney Morning Herald, "ju ite lasag of the Sath ult pays a high conipliment to the Treasurer of New South Wales for his able and lucid budget, and thus summarises the proposal to increase the revente by additional inposts: The following are the increased and addi- fioual taxes which the Treasurer proposed to the Committee. In the Customs he proposed to increase the duty on rum from 76. and 30 per cest, to 0s, and from this he estimated to rea- lise £33,000; whiskey, from 7s, and 20 per cent. to 10s, £27,000; perfumed spirits, and all other spirits, except brzudy, gin, and liqueurs, to 10s, 22,00. On wine the duty was to bo increasi from as, and 20 per cent. to 3%, £6,500.

He also proposed a scheme of annual licences upon banking and public companies and clubs, and person4 engaged in business, with certain excop- Sons, which will be found in, our Parliamentary report, and these annual licenses, le estinated, would bring in £75,000, which, together with

the Customs duties, would take a total of £243,
