(Note a.)-The receipts from this source during the fiscal year ending on the 30th day of September 1850, were $622,085 76; being $55,038 08 less than the receipts of the fiscal year 1850-51. This difference was caused chiefly by the increase of the rate of taxation on licenses and of the subjects of the license tax. (Note b.)-The excess of the receipts of 1850-51 over the receipts of 1849-50 from this source, is $1,435 43; this excess includes the tax on the seals of courts aflixed to copies of registers of free negroes. (Note c.)-The receipts of this year, i. e. 1850-51, from this source, are less than those of the last from the same source by the sum of $2,622 18. (Note d.)-The sales of waste and unappropriated land have diminished to the extent of $3,235 51, almost 33 per cent. It is true that they amounted to an unusually large sum during the year 1849-50, but I think a permanent and continued reduction of the revenue derived from these sales will take place. (Note e.)-The dividends received from the banks of the state, to the stock of which the commonwealth has subscribed, were last year, i. e. 1850-51, greater in amount than have ever been received from these institutions; in 1848-9, the amount was $164,291; 1849-50, $180.116 75, and in 1850-51, $185,954. (Note f.)-The payments into the treasury during the year 1850-51, of the proceeds of the sales of articles manufactured at the penitentiary, have fallen short of those made in 1849-50, $5,000.
