the amount of nearly 12000 in the Land Revenue, countervailed by
a little increase
in love of the other branches of revenue.
Sir John Bowring does not say how he proposes to meet the deficiency. We must hope that it can be defrayed, Mr. Blackwood suggests, from an existing balance. I do not know what language
may
have been held to Sir John Bowring
whilst he was increasing
his
expenditure,
but I
quite agree
with Mr. Blackwood's
remarks and think that the present would be a very fitting opportunity to administer him on the necessity of economy.

P.S. See a subsequent despatch from
Sir J. Bowring (2545) which reports probable increase of £2400 in the receipts
of the present year, and adds an assurance that, but for the war, the accounts would have been balanced. But he had
previously exhibited a deficiency of £17,000 quite irrespective of
the recent hostilities,
and
it is not
easy
to perceive how £2400
could supply the place of £17,000. This
Assurance
therefore must, I fear, go
for nothing. 7. F9 21/3

do not see anything in these
despatches
to Explain it.
