will give us credit for
estimating this tonnage, at 2000 tons, per annum, and which we will
suppose to be all delivered at Knaresbro'; hence the tonnage of it to
Bolton Percy, will be 2000 tons, 18 miles, at 4d. per ton, per mile 600
pounds per annum, in a descending direction.

We now come to that consideration belonging the tonnage arising from

GENERAL MERCHANDIZE,

Which will include every thing consumed for the support of the
population, and which there is no occasion to dwell upon separately under
respective heads. This tonnage is made up from entries of different
individuals, and amounts to 1035 tons, per annum, in an ascending
direction; 570 for the town of Knaresbro'; and for the district, up to
Pateley-Bridge, 465; the revenue arising from this source will be as
under:

1035 tons, 18 465 pounds 15 0
miles, at 6d.
per ton, per
mile
465 do. do. do. 139 10 0
do. do.
605 5 0

Although the distance from Knaresbro' to Pateley-Bridge is 14.75 miles,
still we have only rated it at 12 miles.

TIMBER AND IRON

Will also become articles of tonnage in an ascending direction, and
although different when considered respectively, are in their application
so liable to meet, that perhaps it may not infringe much on their
respective rights if classed together for their amount of tonnage; the
amount handed to us is composed of returns made by such individuals as
are concerned in the trade, and although it does not form a conspicuous
figure, nor produce a great sum, still perhaps it is not the less likely
to make up its full share of increase; for with these, cast metal may be
classed, and recollecting the great wear and tear in mills, machinery,
and waggons on the Railway, the quantity is more likely to be doubled, in
a short period, than that of any named before; the amount of revenue as
at present calculated, would be 1250 tons, up to Knaresbro' from Bolton
Percy, being 18 miles, at 3d. per ton, per mile, is 281 pounds 5s. 0d.
And for the district of Pateley-Bridge, the returns are 450 tons, taken
at 12 miles, at 3d. per ton, per mile, amounts to 67 pounds 10s. 0d. per
annum.

Another article of tonnage both ascending and descending may be named,
and on which some revenue may be expected to arise, although the data for
estimating it may be greatly clouded; it is that of

PASSENGERS.
