VIRGINIA

The Act of the Legislature of Virginia, declaring
against the State of New York continues to be
enforced, at the very moment Virginia is getting into
horrible passion with Massachusetts, for maintaining
her own ancient laws on her soil. The Journal
of Commerce has the following:
VIRGINIA DurIEs.-The authorities of Virginia are
exacting all vessels bound to New York, which
put into their waters, a sum of money varying from
three ten dollars. This is the result of the con.
troversy with Governor Seward The Collector of the
port of Norfolk has fast sailing vessels with which he
boards all vessels passing out of the Chesapeake Bay
whether they anchor not. Vessels driven in BY
stress of weather all compelled to pay. 1t is
exceedingly wrong and vexatious business, and ought
be taken the consideration of the proper author
tiles at once, and the matter set light. 1t will breed
difficulty if persisted in.
