AUSTRALIAN.
Sydney, January 25.
: The Treasurer's Financial Statement, delivered 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 an anticipated decline in the receipts from land sales. It is intended to propose to increase the duty on tobacco, and remit the duty on salt, rope, cordage, and other small articles, but to. retain the duty on vinegar and oilmen's stores. It is intended to introduce a scheme to consolidate the public debt.
. About., 500 Chinese are aboard the Torres Straits mail steamer, for Brisbane. All the passengers were subjected to a rigid examination by the Health Officer.
