THE NEW NAVIGATION ACT.—Although the
Act (12 and 18 Victoria, cap. 29) will not come into
force until the Ist of January next, yet as ships laden
with the produce of foreign countries are on their seal
to our ports, it is necessary to make known some of its ,
principal features. Recent instructions have been issued
by the Customs, and it seems that all prohibitions on
the importation of goods will be removed by virtue of
this Act on the day named. The Act is entitled "An
Act to amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement
of British Shipping and Navigation." It contains 22
sections, repealing nearly a dozen statutes and parts of
statutes t n the subject, especially with reference to
foreign produce. No goods or passengers are to be car"
ied coastwise, nor to or from the Channel Islands, nor
from British possessions, except in British ships. The
Queen in Council may regulate the coasting trade of the
colonies on application, and the coasting trade of the
Btitish possessions in India is to be regulated by the
Governor-General in India. There are provisions will:
respect to British ships being registered, and the on"
ploymcnt of British seamen. As to " reciprocity," her
Majesty may restrict the privileges of foreign ships
She may prohibit or restrict the ships of foreigY
countries, either as to the voyages in which they LO,
engage or as to the articles vthich they may ienrr.
into or export from any part of the United Kingtlo
or of any Blit6h possession in any part of the world, 11
Per Majesty may think fir, so as to place the ships °
such countries as nearly as possible on the same fool
in British ports as that on which British ships are pls°,,e.
in the ports of such countries, and may impose ad"1:1
tional duties. All goods imported, exported, or carried
c nistwise contrary to the Act are to be forfeited, s°ll
100/. penalty levied. A new form of registry for British
ships is provided by the Act, and also a form of declare'
tion to be made by owners of such vessels. There is as
exception with regard to vessels under 30 tons inanee
employed in inland navigation, and under 50 tons for th:
Newfoundland fishery; they are to be admitted to Old
British boats, although not registered, as long as thei
seall be so employed. So much of the Corn Law -s'S•e,
(5 and 6 Victoria, cap. 14, section 8) is repealed flO
enabled her Majesty, under certain circumstances, '0
prohibit the importation of corn, &c., from foreito
countries. The Acts repealed in part or whole are the
8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 88 and 89; 8 and 9 Victoria, CI;
93; 8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 86; 7 and 8 Victoria, cap. i 4
37 George 111., cap. 117; 4 George IV., cap. 80,„
George W., cap. 77; 5 George IV., cap. 1; 8 and 9 V
toria, cap. 90; and the 5 and 6 Victoria, cap. 14. The'
are given as set forth in this new Act.
BYZANTINE ORNAMENT IN AICHITECTIJOrd
