total permanent revenue for the year 1817, fell short of the 



2,2fii,9Si estimate by 1,984,546/., which being more than compen- 



^'^^ sated by a receipt of 2,261,951/., of arrears of Property Tax, 



2,330,531 and of 68,580/. of other unappropriated War Duties, making 



together 2,330,531/. ; there was upon the whole, an 

 585,8B9 Receipt in ireiaud, exccss bcyond the estimate of 345,985/.; while 

 3«,985 Do'nXi^^'moVe ^^ ^'^^^^^ there was a deficit of 585,889/., 



than Estimate. from which the abovc excess being deducted, 



239,9&i Total less than Esti- ^hc difference between the estimate of the 



mate. Committee and the actual produce of the 



revenue in the United Kingdom, is exhibited by the remainder ; 

 being only 239,904, upon a sum of 51,905,000/.

 considerable improvement had already taken place in the revenue,
