a sum of 2,300 dollars was levied upon all desctiptions of
craft, great and small; whilst the entire duties upon a
ship of 500 or 600 tons were little short of 43000 sterling.
The whole of these are now abolished, and a duty of
3s. 6d. per ton substituted for them ; and thus the total
charges upon a ship of 600 tons will be only £lO5 sterling,
or one-tenth of the charges under the old system, those
upon smaller vessels sustaining, of course, a reduction in
a still greater increased ratio.
