NAVIGATION ACT.

An eastern print very properly reminds
those copseraed of-the spprochin opefstaen
of the Navigation act, passed at the last ses-
sion OF Congress. Il will be remembered,
,ha, this Lave takes effect on the 6rst Of Osto-
bsr. Amongst other provisions, II enscts,
tina, coasting vessel. passing from one state,
to another unless !, be an adjoining state, or
of navigsbie lake or river, or from Long
Island to Rhode Island,) shall each pay duty
of ffy cents ner ton, uoless az ifa" three
fourfhs of her eres are American citizens IN
which case the duty will be reduced TO 'fr
cenfs tey ton. II also enacts, that every a.
merican vessel entering from foreign port
shall pay du,y offifty cents per ton, soless
her officers and ar ieasf rvo -Iatrda II her rres9
are American citizens; but this provision
does not extend TO vessels which departed
from home prior TO the FIRST Of May last,
until afler they return TO some port OF the
United States. -
We understand ,ha. the Navy Court.Mar-
,iai, which was convened 10 this city, for the
trial Of Lieut.. Col Wharton, OF the Mstise
Corps, on certain charges exhibited against
him by Major Henderson, OF that corps, has
determined tha, it has not the proper Juiis-
