Sydney, January 25th. The Treasurer's financial statement last night estimated the revenue at nearly £5,000,000, or a surplus of £726,000 over the estimated expenditure. The expected receipts would not equal last year's owing to the anticipated decline in the receipts from land sales. It is intended to propose an increase in duty on tobacco, and remit the duty on salt, rope, coidage, andother small articles, but to retain tha duty on vinegar and oilmen's '■ stores. It is intended to introduce a scheme to consolidate the public debt.
