HARBOR REGULATIONS OF PORT NATAL.

The London Journal of Commerce, (one of the most valuable journals on our foreign exchange list,) extracts from the Zuid Afrikaan of August 7, such of the instructions for the harbor-master at Port Natal, issued 6th of February, 1840, as are important to captains of vessels. Every vessel entering the harbor shall have to pay the sum of forty rixds. for pilotage and anchorage. That the harbor-master shall act as pilot, and conduct vessels to a good anchorage, also render all possible assistance to them at their departure, taking care that one vessel do not obstruct the anchorage of another, and that no stones or filth be thrown on the beach opposite the anchorage. That the captain or his agent shall, as soon as possible, produce to the superintendent of customs all ships' papers, in order to report and enter the vessel; and the ship's papers are to be returned to the captain, who, or his agent, is to bind himself in the sum of three hundred rixdollars for the due observance of the port regulation. No goods, except passengers' baggage, to be allowed to be landed before the vessel's entry at the customhouse, which is to be done as soon as possible, or within twenty-four hours after arrival; and no papers shall be kept back, if demanded by the chief officer. That a permit is to be taken out by every consignee or shipper, for landing or shipping goods, and by the captain for taking in ship's stores, and for which permit one rix-dollar shall be paid. That a duty of ten per cent. shall be levied on wine, beer, and spirituous liquors; and on every other importation, three per cent. on the amount of the invoice, freight and charges not included, and the duties to be paid before the landing of the goods. That ammunition or utensils of war, wheat, and other grain, garden seeds, breeding cattle, salt, and flour, shall be permitted to be imported duty free. That no captain shall have the right to leave behind any of his crew, without the permission of the landdrost, nor take any one with him without the knowledge of the harbor-master. That all weights and measures shall be Dutch, the liquid measure old English, and all solid measures Rhynland. That a building shall be provided as a government store,-one rix-dollar per week to be paid for each ton; and persons storing more than five tons for a .ong time, or for more than one month, shall pay one rix-dollar per month for each ton. The captain or agent shall have to hand to the harbor-master, on his demanding the same, all private letters, who shall have to transmit them in his capacity as postmaster. Any vessels entering the harbor, and having slaves on board, shall, together with the cargo, be confiscated, the slaves immediately be considered as free persons, and the captain and crew placed under arrest, until such time as an opportunity shall offer to send them back to their place of residence.
