Messrs. J. A. Wattie & Ao., inform us of the following estimated outputs for the month of October from the undernoted estates:—
From the " Australasian Insurance and Banking Record" we learn that the revenues of the Australian Commonwealth for its fiscal year ended June 30 last amounted to £15,540,451. This was £334,000 less than that of the—preceding year, and at the same date the expenses were greater by £1,592,000 at £17,075,498, a portion of the increase being due to a special payment made to the State of Tas mania As a result £1,535,000 was taken from the trust fund to balance the account,-as against £391, 550 transferred to that fund from the surplus of the preceding year. The expenditure was about £810,000 less than the estimate, and it is possible that the revenue may increase so as to overtake this total of expenditure,
