A great meetingwas "held at Dorchester , on Monday last , of the Bath and West of England Society for the encouragement of agriculture , arts , manufactures , and commerce . Cobpokation REVENtTE . — -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 . Of d . of this the 4 tf . Coal JDue produced £ 675 , 001 14 $ . 6 d . ; the Corn Metage , £ 120 , 790 8 . s . 10 fd . ; and the Fruit Mebge , £ 10 , 806 Is . Id . ; the 4 d . Coal Duty averages £ 70 , 000 a-year ; the Com Metage , £ 12 , 000 ; and the Fruit , £ 1 , 000 . Next in 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 s . 10 \ d . ' , of this sum , Leadenhall has contributed £ 27 , 700 Newgate , £ 43 , 000 ; Fjirringdon , £ 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 ; 1851 , £ 5 , 810 ; 1852 , £ 5 , 810 ; 1853 , £ 5 , 810 ; 1854 , £ 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 rf . 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 , £ 17 , 000 ; Casual Receipts , including income-tax deducted , surplus pi'ofits of the Chamberlain ' s Office , 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 afc Teddingtoh , £ 1 , 112 ; and Sale of " Maria Wood , " £ 630 15 s ., are entered as " ordinary , " though ifc would be hard to class the latter with any ordinary event of the City Exchequer , for '" Maritt Wood" cannot be sold " once a year , " and such a commercial divorcement should be extraordinary , if anything is . —City .
