A great meeting was held at Dorchesier , on Monday last , of the Bath and West of England Society for the encouragement of agriculture , arts , manufactures , and commerce . ¦ CoBFOBATiON Revkntte .- —The section which stands , next to rents as to the magnitude of its totals , is duties ; which gives a general total during ten years' of £ 817 , 001 4 s : 0 % d . ; of this the 4 < Z . Coal Due produced £ -675 , 001 14 * . 6 d . ' , ; the Corn Metage , £ 120 , 790 8 * . . 10 } d . ; and the Fruit Metiage , £ 10 , 806 1 * . Id . ; the 4 c ? Coal Duty averages £ 70 , 000 a-year ; the Corn Metage , £ 12 , 000 ; and the Fruit , £ 1 , 000 . Next hi order of importance is the income from markets—an income which is not all profit , but doomed to be reduced by heavy annual outgoings . The total of the markets
during ten years is £ 203 , 175 4 * . lO § c ? . ; of this sum , Leadenhall has contributed £ 27 , 700 Newgate , £ 43 , 000 ; Fnrringdon , £ 10 , 800 ; Smithfield , £ 48 , 000 ; the New" Metropolitan , £ 28 , 192 ; and Billingsgate , £ 42 , 973 . Street tolls have yielded nothing since 1854 , but in the four years of their continuance which come into this decade , their produce was as follows : —1850 , £ 5 , 710 ; 1 S 51 , £ 5 , 81 O ; 1852 , £ 5 , 810 ; 1853 , £ 5 , 810 ; 1851 ., £ 5 , 810 .. Thus the City relinquished an income of nearly £ 6 , 000 a-year , equal to the whole produce of Billingsgate Market , or one twelfth of the 4 , d . coal tax . Perhaps the great brewers and distillers and proprietors of mills round London save the whole of their proportion of the coal tax in their entire immunity
from tolls in the City . Justiciary Fees produced in ten years , £ 12 , 219 ; Interest on Investments , £ 24 , 000 ; Sheriff's Fines , £ 2 ^ , 400 ; Brokers' Rents , £ 47 , 000 ; Casual Receipts , including income-tax deducted , surplus profits of the Chamberlain ' s OinVe , and the office of Comptroller , £ 30 , 711 ; the Sale of Old Materials of Giltspur Street Compter is entered as " extraordinary" income , £ 2 , 893 15 s . but the sale of Old Stores at Teddhigton , £ 1 , 112 ; and Sale of " Maria Wood , " £ 630 15 s ., are entered as " ordinary , " though it would be hard to class the latter with any ordinary event of the City Exchequer , for " Maria Wood" cannot be sold " once a year , " and such a commercial divorcement should be extraordinary , if
anything is . ' —Oitj / Press .
