The bulk of the remaining articles of import, where the
duties were specific or high ad valorem, appear to be reduced
from the rates fixed in the act of 1833. But the clause in
that act providing for gradual reduction being omitted, the
general effect will be to impose materially higher rates than
have been payable for the last four or five years. We give
here the substance of a few of the regulating clauses,—
Section 10, enacts that on all unenurnerated articles shall
be imposed a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem.
Section 11.—An additional 10 per cent shall be levied on
all goods which shall be imported in vessels not of the United
States—when no specific discrimination are made by the bill ;
and 10 per cent additional on all goods, except those brought
from beyond the Cape of Good Hope in foreign vessels—pro-
vided no treaty stipulations be infringed thereby.
Section 12.—A1l duties shall be paid in cash, or the goods
will be sold after 60 days detention.
Section 16, provides that the value of goods, upon which
specific or ad valorem duties are payable, shall be appraised
and regulated by the price in the markets of the country of
which they are the produce or manufacture, adding to that
price all cost and charges, except insurance.

Section 25 provides, that nothing in this act contained shall
apply to goods shipped in a vessel bound to any part of the
United States, actually having left her last port of landing
eastwardly of the Cape of Good Hope or beyond Cape Horn
prior to the first day of September, eighteen hundred and
forty-two ; and all legal provisions and regulations existing
immediately before the thirtieth day of June, eighteen hundred
and forty-two, shall be applied to importations which may be
made in vecccele whieh hays left suchlastnort of boint3....
