In conformity to the Act of the Congress of the United States, intitu- led, " An A,ct for the Encouragement of Learning, by securing the Co- pies of Maps, Charts and Books, to the Authors and Proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned ;" — And also to the Act, en- titled. " An Act supplementary to an Act, entitled, "An Act for the Enc uragement of Learning, by securing the copies of Maps, Charts and Book-., to the Authors and Proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned," and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of de- signing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints." D. CALDWELL, Clerk of the Eastern District ef Pennsylvania. wmmwM®: Congress during their last sitting having passed an act, by which the Duties on certain articles therein named are mate- rially changed, — and the President of the United States under date of 22d May, 1824, having approved the same, I have con- sidered a General Compilation of the several Duties imposed on Imports under the late and former acts, as a publication at this time highly interesting, and in fact necessary, to all who are en- gaged in commercial pursuits. I hazard nothing in asserting that the business of my office has been invariably conducted with that zeal and devotion to the true interest of individuals, and duty towards the govern- ment, that have entitled it to the patronage of the former, and confidence of the latter. In the different branches of my esta- blishment, where the particular blanks required were not pre- scribed by law, such forms were devised, as conciseness and utility rendered adviseable; and on subjects unconnected with the Revenue Department, I composed such Blanks as the na- ture of my business as an Insurance Broker and Adjuster of Averages seemed to require to facilitate the dispatch of busi- ness. I could not have expected that an attempt would be made to wrest from me the credit and benefits naturally anticipated from my unwearied application; and that manuscript blanks appertaining to my particular branch of business, and originating solely in my office, would have beeu pirated, published, and [ iv ] sold in a mean and ungenerous manner. But such is the fact, and to guard against similar depredations and trespasses on com- mon propriety, I have secured a Copy Right of my present work, of which all those disposed to reap the harvest from seed they have never sown, mitt please to take notice. With the Tariff will be found numerous important Notes and References, and I have added thereto an Appendix of Com- mercial Laws, Tables of Custom-House Fees, Weights, Tares, Guages, Sec. ; Credits on Importations, Foreign Exchanges, and other valuable information, which 1 consider extensively useful to Merchants. Owners, Supercargoes, and Masters of Vessels engaged in both the Foreign and Coasting Trade, and compris- ed within as moderate a compass as the subject matter would admit — all information herein stated involving legal points on the subject either of Commerce or Insurance may be relied on as correct. I have inserted at full length a copy of the act approved the 22d instant, to enable the reader to form a comparative and more comprehensive view of its effects than he could otherwise do from its being embodied into the general Tariff. Importations will, as heretofore, be subject to the addition established by law of 20 per cent, from the Cape of Good Hope or any place beyond it ; 10 per cent, from any other place, and an addition of 10 per cent, to the several rates of duties impos- ed on all articles (teas excepted, on which a specific discrimi- nation is made, vide article Teas in the Tariff of Duties,) im- ported in ships or vessels not of the United States, except such as are entitled to the benefits of the convention with Great Britain and other Powers, a list whereof will be found herein.

" Treasury Department, Comptrollers' Office, "> January 22d, 1812. i " I have given to this case a careful consideration ; and have felt every disposition to make the decision here accord with what seems to be your expectations, and that of the concerned. But, on consulting the precedents established on analogous cases, and reflecting upon those provisions of the law which have relation to the subject, 1 am con- strained to declare it is my opinion that the Teas in question were, in the sense contemplated by law, brought from Europe, and that they are chargeable with duty accordingly."

Wines and distilled spirits to retain the right of drawback must, on arrival, be declared in a special entry for exportation, and be deposited in the public stores until exported. Twenty days is allowed from the clearance of the vessel for signing the export bond, to produce the certificate of the goods, having been landed in a foreign port, in default of which the drawback is inevitably lost. The amount of duties on each exportation must amount to at least 50 dollars on the same importation and distinctly on the articles of salt, teas, wines, spirits and other goods, and the packages must not be broken, but precisely the same in quan- tity, quality, package and contents as when imported, unavoid- able leakage or wastage excepted. Any goods, wares, or merchandise of the growth or manufac- ture of the United States which may have been exported to a foreign port or place, and brought back to the said States, and upon which no drawback, bounty, or allowance has been paid, no duty shall be demanded : Provided, that the regulations pre- scribed for ascertaining the identity of such goods, wares, and merchandise, be observed and complied with. n 86 IT will be seen that goods, ware and merchandise, imported in foreign vessels, which have not been placed by treaty or special acts of congress on an equality with vessels of the Unit- ed States, are subject to an addition of ten per cent, to the du- ties imposed on goods, wares and merchandise, if imported in vessels of the United States, or in vessels entitled by treaty, Sfc. to equal benefits. But by this is not to be understood French vessels, when importing articles of the growth, pro- duce or manufacture of France, the dufies on which are to be regulated by the treaty with that country, signed the 24th June, 1822; according to which, such articles, thus imported, are at present liable to an additional duty not exceeding $ 3 -ffa per ton of merchandise, over and above the rates paid on sim- ilar articles when imported in vessels of the United States, but importations in French vessels, of articles not the growth, pro- duce or manufacture of France, are liable to the usual discrimi- nating duty of ten per cent, between importations in foreign, and importations in American vessels. ON THE "Importation oi ^leuehan&ise. On each importation of articles subject to either specific o r ad valorem duties, and whereon the duty does not amount to fifty dollars, must be paid in cash. On each importation, the duties whereon amount to fifty dol- lars or upwards, the following credits are allowed on giving bonds with security to the satisfaction of the collector of the Revenue. Or the importer may pay the duties at the time of entry and be entitled to a discount on the amount thereof at the rate of four per cent, per annum. No bonds can be received unless the principal is a resident of the United States and the sureties, citizens thereof. 87 On Brandy and other spirits, if entered for home consump- tion, the same credit is allowed as on other goods (except salt and wines.) If entered for (he benefit of debenture a credit in equal payments of 8, 10, &. 12 months is allowed from the*Hay of taking the same from the public stores, provided in no case the term of credit shall exceed 12 months from the date of entry of the vessel. On Wines 12 months from the entry of vessel. On fcSalt 9 months from the entry of vessel. On Teas from any other place than direct from China, the same credit as on other goods (salt and wines excepted) If direct from China and not entered for long credit one-half in 6 mouths, one-fourth in 9 months, one fourth in 12 months. If entered for benefit of long credit they may be stored (at the importers risk and expence) for two years when the whole duties thereon will be due and pa_) able, but if previously taken out in whole or in part, the following credits are allowed from the time of their being withdrawn. On duties amounting to 100 dollars or less, 4 months. On duties exceeding 100 dollars and not more than 500, 8 months. On duties exceeding 500 dollars. 12 months. But the term of payment in no case to exceed two years from the entry of the vessel. On goods other than Spirits, Wines, Salt or Teas, if from Europe, one third in 8 months, one-third in 10 months, one- third in 12 months. If from the West Indies or any other place on the eastern shores of America north of the Equator or in its adjacent seas, bays and gidfs, one-half in 6 months, one-half in 9 months. If from any other place than Europe and the West Indies, one- third in 8 mouths, one-third in 10 months, one-third in 18 months. 88 WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE VALUES, AS ESTIMATED AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA.

"''■ * 'opjI-Right secured according lo Law. *■ ADVERTISEMENT. IN comprising in a small compass, a Digest of the most im - portant Revenue, Commercial and Maritime Laws of the United States, and adding thereto such information as I considered in- teresting to Merchants, Supercargoes, and Masters of Vessels, I did not contemplate inserting all the practical forms incident to the operation of those Laws, but had solely in view the object of affording to Foreign Merchants and persons at a distance, such correct information as might guide them in the outset of their enterprises, and in the event of difficulty in their prosecu- tion; enable them to adopt such precautionary steps, and fur- nish themselves with such documents as to avert the penalty of the Revenue Laws; and in cases of Maritime casualty, to pro- ceed with a due and impartial observance to the just rights of all parties concerned. I must here advert to a too common idea prevailing in cases of shipwreck, that when owners or shippers are insured, a course of proceeding is to be adopted different from that to be ob- served in cases of non-insurance — such erroneous impressions ought certainly to be removed, and a conduct reprobated that could act on an opinion, that underwriters axe fair game. Should this publication meet with a favourable reception, I purpose, at some future time, devoting a few leisure hours to enlarge on that part of the subject that relates to Averages and Partial losses. - , .

Every vessel of seventy-five tons, and upwards, arriving from, or bound to, any port within the United States, and the master of all such vessels are bound as above. The pilot of every vessel is required to inform the master of his having to report at the warden's office. All vessels obliged to receive a pilot are required to pay ten dollars in addition, as winter pilotage, from the 20th day of November to the 10th day of March, both days inclusive. Foreign vessels, i e. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Neapoli- tan, Danish, Russian. South American and Haytien, to pay two dollars sixty-seven cents in addition to other pilotage. Every pilot, detained more than twenty -four hours, by any master owner, or consignee, is entitled to two dollars per day, for every day he is so detained. ' • Every pilot, detained more than forty-eight hours, by the ice t after he has conducted his vessel to a place of safety, is en- titled to two dollars per day, for every day he is so detained. Every pilot compelled to perform quarantine, is entitled to two dollars per day for every day he is so detained, and cannot be discharged in less than six days, without his consent. Every pilot obliged by the ice, or stress of weather to pro- ceed to another port, is, when there, entitled to his pilotage ; and if there discharged, to eight cents a mile for every mile he has to travel home. Every pilot, is required, under a penalty of twelve dollars, to make report within forty-eight hours, at the warden's office, of every vessel he conducts to the city. If any master, or captain of any ship or vessel, or other per- son, shall refuse or neglect to comply with the directions of the harbour master, in matters within the jurisdiction of his office, such person, shall, for each and every such offence, severally forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding one hundred dollars. And the said harbour master, shall, in full compensation for his services, be entitled to have, recover, and receive, from the master, captain, owner, or consignee, of each, and every ship or vessel, arriving at the port of Philadelphia, coasting vessels not exceeding the burthen of 75 tons excepted, the sum of one dollar, for each and every voyage, by such ship or vessel per- formed and no more. lii Appendix. Every ship or vessel that may arrive in this harbour, and that shall come to anchor in the stream, any where between Almond and Vine streets, having previously caused her gun- ponder, if any she had on board, to be landed, as the law di- rects, may remain in that situation twenty-four hours and no longer, taking care to lay as near to the island, or sand bar, as ma\ be consistent with their safety. But, if from the circum- stance of a vessel having servants on board, or from any other cause, it may be thought necessary or convenient, to lay a longer time in the stream, then, and in every such case, the owner, master, pilot, or other person, having the charge or di- rection of such vessel, shall remove her from opposite the city, and shall moor her, or cause her to be moored to the northward of Vine street, with one anchor and cable up, and one anchor and cable down the stream ; and in both the above mentioned situations, the regulation contained in the next succeeding arti- cle to be duly attended to. If any ves-el, properly moored in the stream, shall have her am iior or cable overlaid by another vessel, in anchoring or mo ing, the master or person having the care ar direction of such iasi mentioned vessel, shall immediately, or as soou as may be, after application made to him by the party aggrieved, cause the said anchor or cable, so overlaying to be takeu up and cleared. Whtn any ship or vessel shall be hauled in to any wharf or dock, or alongside of another vessel that may be lying at such wharf or uuck, tiie owner, master, pilot, or whoever may have the command, care or direction of her, shall have her securely made last ; and if outside of another vessel, shall get one good fast from each end of the vessel to the shore, with sufficient fenders between them and the inside vessel, and shall cause the flews of their anchors to be taken in board, and within twenty- four hour; thereafter cause her jib-boom, spritsail yard, main boom, spanker and ring-tail booms, if any they have, to be rigged in, and their lower yards topped up, in such a manner as least to inteifere with vessels passing. If the fasts of vessels when moored at a wharf, shall extend across a dock, so as to obstruct the passing and repassing of shallops, lighter or other craft or vessel, the master, or other person having the command of such ship or vessel, shall, upon the first application, immediately cause such fast or fasts, to be cast off, or slacked down. No outward-bound vessel, putting off from a wharf, shall lay loafer in the stream between Vine street and Almond, in the district of iouthwark, above mentioned, than twenty-four hours. Appendix. liii And if vessels lying at the end of wharves so much interlock with each other, as to prevent vessels hauling; in and out of docks, the master, owner, pilot, or other person having the charge of the same, shall, immediately on application from any person so wanting to haul his vessel in or out of the dock afore- said, have the vessel or vessels, so interfering, moved in such a manner as to accommodate the one applied for; in which case, the vessel making room for another to haul in or out, shall have liberty to make her warps fast to the most convenient place adjacent, for a reasonable time, and that all sea vessels, when transporting or wanting to haul into a wharf or dock, or to make sail in order to proceed to sea, shall have the same privilege. When any ship or vessel may be lying alongside any wharf, and not actually taking in or discharging, she shall make way for, and permit any vessel, that wants to unload or load, to come inside next the wharf, until she discharges or loads her cargo ; and the said vessel when so discharged, or loaded, shall haul outside and give way to the vessel that first occupied the wharf; provided, that from the 10th day of December to the 1st of March, no vessel shall be compelled to move, from her birth, (only those at Gloucester Point piers,) excepting to let vessels in and out of docks. No ship or vessel loading or discharging hemp at any wharf, or within any dock, shall be allowed to have any fire on board; neither shall any vessel laying outside or near her. be permitted to have fire on board, while it may be considered dangerous. And no tar, turpentine, rosin, or pitch, shall be heated on the wharf, or on board any vessel lying at any wharf within the lim- its of the city. COMPUTATION OF TONNAGE. That when vessels are freighted by the ton, and no special agreement is made between the owner of the vessel and the freighted of the goods respecting the proportion of tonnage which each particular article shall be computed at, the following regu- lation will be found to be the standard of Compulation.

OWNERS OF VESSELS. It may be well that persons about becoming purchasers of vessels, should be informed that the register or enrolment con- taining the names of the owners, is no absolute evidence of their title to the property ; and therefore that some caution is necessary in investigating the right of the parties from whom the purchase is made. It is generally concluded that a register or licence and enrolment containing the names of the owners, are in themselves documents guaranteeing the title. But the Custom House is merely an office of record to register the change of ownership, and establish the national character of the vessel ; and it is therefore as essential for the purchaser to ascertain that no liens exist against the vessel, as it is in cases of real estate, to examine the records of a court for judgments against the property. On building a vessel, all that is requisite to obtain a register or enrolment, is a certificate from under the hand of the princi- pal master or carpenter by whom, or under whose direction the ship or vessel was built ; testifying that she was built by him, or under his direction, aud specifying the place where, the time when, and the person or persons for whom ; and describing her built, number of decks and masts, length, breadth, depth, ton- nage, and such other circumstances as are usually descriptive of the identity of a vessel; which certificate shall be suffi- cient to. authorise the removal of a new vessel IrGm the dis- trict where she may be built, to another district in the same, or an adjoining state, where the owner or owners actually reside, Provided, it be with ballast only. Wages of the seamen for services daring a voyage is a lien as also those earned in rigging and fitting out a vessel for a voyage in which they have engaged to proceed, if the owners do not afterwards think proper to send the vessel as intended. A master of a vessel cannot libel a vessel for wages, be- cause he is presumed to trust to the personal credit of the owners, whereas the seamen make their contract on the credit of the ship. Every officer, except the master, may institute admiralty proceedings for wages due, on the same principle as the seamen. By the laws of Pennsylvania, aud other states, ships and vessels of all kinds, built, repaired, and fitted within this state, are declared liable for all debts contracted by the masters or owners thereof, for work or materials done or furnished by any Appendix. lis carpenter, blacksmith, mast maker, boat builder, block maker, rope maker, sail maker, rigger, joiner, carver, plumber, painter, or ship chandler ; and the liens bear preference to any, and before any other debts due and owing from the owners thereof: Provided always, No ship or vessel shall contiuue to be liable and chargeable for such debts to the tradesmen aforesaid longer than the time which shall intervene between the contracting of such debts and the time of her proceeding to sea, next after the work shall be done, or the materials and articles furnished and provided. Heavy losses having been sustained by persons who have furnished the copper for the fastenings and bottoms of vessels, and by the preamble to the bill the legislature having evidently contemplated affording security to all tradesmen furnishing labour ami materials, vessels have been libelled for supplies of that article, but so far, I believe, no termination of the suits have taken place, and the point remains doubtful. But the right of lien for the mechanical operation of puttiug on the cop- per is undisputed. The master of a vessel, being appointed by owners, is there- by held forth to the public as a person worthy of trust and con- fidence, and he not being generally of ability to make good losses which may arise under his management to any conside- rable amount — the law therefore considers the master in the light of a servant to the owners, and from the confidential situ- ation in which they place him, if they were not held under the greatest responsibility for his acts, a door might be opened for fraud and collnsion — the law, therefore, holds the owners res- ponsible for all charges of repairs, stores and provisions, or monies advanced for those objects to an amount reasonably fit, proper, and wanting for the occasion — For all embezzlements of goods and merchandise, of every description, so far as the value of the vessel, appurtenances, and her freight growing due during the voyage, but n<> further. Owners are required to furni-li vessels of the burthen of 150 tons, or upwards, navigated by ten or more persons in the whole, and bound on a voyage without the limits of the United States, with a chest of medicines put up by some apothecary of known reputation, and accompanied by directions for ad ministering the same, and the said medicines shall be examined by the same or some other apothecary, once at least in every year, and supplied with fresh medicines in the place of such as shall have been used or spoiled, and in default thereof the mas- ter or commander of such ship or vessel shall provide and pay for all such advice, medicine, or attendance of physicians as lx Appendix. any of the crew shall stand in need of in case of sickness at every port or place where the ship or vessel may touch or trade at during the voyage without any deduction from the wages of such sick seaman or mariner. And every vessel bound on a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, shall, at the time of leaving the last port from whence she sails, have on board, well secured under deck, at. least sixty gallons of water, one hundred pounds of salted flesh meat, and one hundred pounds of wholesome ship bread, for every person on board such ship or vessel over and above such other provisions, stores, and live stock as shall by the master or passengers, be put on board, and in like pro- portion for shorter or longer voyages. And in case the crew of any vessel which shall not have been so provided, shall be put upon short allowance in water, flesh, or bread, during the voy- age, the master or owner of such vessel shall pay to each of the crew one day's wages beyond the wages agreed on for every day they shall be so put to short allowance. It shall be the duty of every owner, resident within the Uni- ted States, of any ship or vessel, to which a certificate of regis- try may be granted, (in case there be more than one such owner,) to transmit to the collector, who may have granted the same, a like oath or affirmation with that taken and subscribed by the owner, on whose application such certificate shall have been granted, and within ninety days after the same may have been so granted ; which oath or affirmation may, at the option of the party, be taken and subscribed, either before the said collector or before the collector of some other district, or a judge of a district court of the United States, or of a superior court of original jurisdiction of some one of the states. And if such oath or affirmation shall not be taken, subscribed, and transmitted as is herein required, the certificate of registry, granted to such ship or vessel, shall be forfeited and void. Appendix. lxi MASTERS OF VESSELS. Having obtaiued the necessary clearance from the custom house, reported your pilot as required by law at the wardens office, a neglect of which subjects you to a penalty of 10 dol- lars ; and received instructions to proceed from your owners, the voyage is to be commenced without delay as soon as the weather is favourable, hut on no account sail out during tem- pestuous weather. By the ancient marine ordinance, the Mas- ter is required before he hoists sail, to consult his mate, pilot, and others of the crew as to the wind aud weather : but such consultation is not deemed necessary by the law of the United States; according lo which the entire management of the ship is entrusted to the master. Should it unfortunately occur after the voyage is begun and before the ship or vessel shall have left the land, bound on a voyage to any foreign port, that .the mate or first officer under the master, and a majority of the crew should discover that the said ship or vessel is too leaky, or is otherwise unfit in her crew, body, tackle, apparel, furniture, provisions or stores, to proceed on the intended voyage, and shall require such unfit- ness to be enquired into, the master or commander shall upou the request of the said mate (or other officer) and such majority forthwith proceed to or stop at the nearest or most convenient port or place where such enquiry can be made, and shall there apply to the judge of the district court, if he shall there reside, or if not, to some justice of the peace of the city, town or place taking with him two or more of the said crew who shall have made such request: and thereupon such judge or justice is here- by authorized and required to issue his precept directed to three persons in the neighbourhood, the most skilful in maritime af- fairs that can be procured, requiring them to repair on board such ship or vessel, and to examine the same in respect to the defects and insufficiencies complained of, and to make report to him the said judge or justice, in writing under their hands, or the hands of two of them, whether in any or in what respect the said ship or vessel is unfit to proceed on the intended voy- age, and what addition of men, provisions or stores, or what repairs or alterations in the body, tackle or apparel will be ne- cessary ; and upon such report the said judge or justice shall adjudge and determine, and shall endorse on the said report his judgment, whether the said ship or vessel is fit to proceed on the intended voyage : and if not, whether such repairs can be made or deficiencies supplied where the ship or vessel then lays, lxii Appendix. or whether it he necessary for the said ship or vessel to return to the port from whence she first sailed, to be there refitted, and the master and crew shall in all things conform to the said judg- ment : and the master or commander shall, in the first instance, pay all the costs of such View, report and judgment, to be tax- ed and allowed on a fair copy thereof, certified by die said judge or jus;ice. But if the complaint of the said crew shall appear upon the said report and judgment, to have been without foun- dation, then the said master, or the owner or consignee of such ship or vessel, shall deduct the amount thereof, and of reason- able damages for the detention (to be ascertained by the said judge or justice) out of the wages growing due to the complain', ing seamen or mariners. And if after such judgment such ship or vessel is fit to proceed on her intended voyage, or after pro- curing such men, provisions, stores, repairs or alterations as may be directed, the said seamen or mariners, or either of them, shall refuse to proceed on the voyage, it shall and may be lawful for any justice of the peace to commit by warrant under his hand and seal, every such seaman or mariner (who shall so refuse) to the common goal of the county, there to remain with- out bail or mainprize, until he shall have paid double the sum advanced to him at the time of subscribing the contract for the voyage, together with such reasonable costs as shall be allowed by the said justice, and inserted in the said warrant, and the surety or sureties of such seamen or mariner (in case he or they shall have given any) shall remain liable for such payment ; nor shall any such seaman or mariner be discharged upon any writ of habeas corpus or otherwise, until such sum be paid by him or them, or his or their surety or sureties, for want of any form of commitment, or other previous proceedings . Provided, That sufficient matter shall be made appear, upon the return of such habeas corpus, and an examination then to be had, to detain him for the causes herein before assigned. You will have no doubt conformed to the well known law re- quiring the Master or commander of any ship or vessel bound from a port in the United States to any foreign port, or of any ship or vessel of the burthen of fifty tons or upwards, bound from a port in one state, to a port in any other than an adjoin- ing state, before he proceed on such voyage to make an agreement in writing or in print, with every seaman or mariner on board such ship or vessel (except such as shall be appren- tice or servant to himself or owners) declaring the voyage or voyages, term or terms of times, for which such seamen or mariner shall be shipped.- And if any master or. commander of such ship or vessel shall carry out any seaman or mariner Appendix. Ixiii (except apprentices or servants as aforesaid) without such con- tract or agreement being first made and signed by the seamen and mariners, such master or commander shall pay to every such seaman or mariner the highest price or wages which shall have been given at the port or place where such seaman or mariner shall have been shipped, for a similar voyage, witbio three months next before the time of such shipping: Provided, such seaman or mariner shall perform such voyage: or if not, then for such time as he shall continue to do duty on board such ship or vessel: and shall moreover forfeit twenty dollars for every such seaman or mariner, one half to the use of the person prosecuting for the same, the other half to the use of the United States, and Mich seaman or mariner, not having signed such contract, shall not he bound by the regulations, nor subject to the penalties and forfeitures contained in this act. And at the foot of every such contract, there shall be a mem- orandum in writing, of the day and the hour on which such sea man or mariner, who shall so ship and subscribe, shall reuder themselves on board, to begin the voyage agreed upon. In the event of any disaster, such as loss of masts or sails, the vessel springing a leak, or becoming, from any cause, un- manageable, you are justified, after a consultation with your officers and crew, to make the nearest port, to refit, the wind and weather will admit of. If you are not far on your voyage and you can return with propriety to the port of your depar- ture, it is advisable so to do, as affording you the best resources as to materials and means to repair the damages sustained. — In all cases do not omit to note your protest immediately on landing, and extend it in due season. If driven by necessity into a port wherein you are a perfect stranger, you will natu- rally seek the assistance of persons with whom you have rea- son to belivc there is an acquaintance or correspondence with your owners or principal shippers, and follow their advice in all matters not at variance with the principles of law and usage as herein stated. If obliged to resort to strangers you will seek those of the first respectability, and obtain their services on the most moderate terms, and let their advances be repaid by their orvn drafts on your owners, or by executing a bottomree bond, as may be required. But I advise you not to become the drawer or endorser of any note or draft ; because, in case of' dishonour you will be held personally liable, and for which you will not be entitled to an adequate consideration. If you cannot succeed in raising money on the terms above mention- ed, you are justified in disposing of such part of the cargo as, from information corroborated by your own judgment, you may lxiv Appendix. be induced to conclude best adapted to the market. You will not omit calling a survey without loss of lime, and, if a consul of the United States resides at the place of your arrival or near thereto, it will he well to have immediate recourse to him to supply the necessary official documents. If compelled to land your cargo for the purpose of refitting, and any part there- of should be found in a perishable state, you will cause a spe- cial survey to be held thereon, and then have such damaged v part sold by public outcry, for the benefit of whom it may con- cern — (on goods obliged, from their perishable stale, to be sold or to defray disbursements, you are entitled to full freight, pro- vided the vessel proceeds the voyage.) Be careful to observe the utmost precision in procuring regular and official docu- ments, in original and duplicate, of the protest, surveys, and all papers and accounts whatever, incident to your proceedings. If after regular surveys it is decided the vessel cannot proceed the voyage, and is condemned on the grounds of either total unseaworthiness, impossibility of procuring materials to repair, or, that the cost of repairing would exceed her value when re- paired ; you can then tranship your cargo by any good vessel for the original port of your destination; or if of a perishable nature, and no immediate opportunity presents for so doing, it will be advisable to effect immediate sales at public auction — should you succeed in procuring a conveyance, you may ob- tain the freight on the best terms possible, and if at a lower rate than that specified in your original bills of lading, you are nevertheless entitled to freight in conformity to the original contract ; if at a higher rate the consignees of the goods are bound therefor. In the latter ease all expenses of unlading, labour, storage, commissions, re-shipping, &c. are chargeable on the goods alone, according to their nelt value at the port of delivery. But in the former case, if the owners are to benefit by the freight, it is but reasonable that all the charges above enu- merated should be apportioned, and borne by goods and freight according to their respective interests. Should the vessel be condemned from either of the causes before enumerated, any wages due to the officers and crew must be paid out of the proceeds of the vessel, as in cases of shipwreck. If the vessel cannot proceed the voyage, and no other ves- sel can be procured on board which the cargo can be tranship- ped, as before specified, no freight pro rata is earned, and in this case you will collect all your funds, documents and ac- counts, and return home by the first opportunity, and for your agency you will be entitled to full wages, and all reasonable ex- * Appendix, L\> pence, to the day of your arrival. Be careful to bring with you your register anil crew list, (unless previously delivered to a consul of the United States,) and deliver the same to the collector of the port where you belong, within eight days after your arrival. We will however imagine the vessel to have received such injuries only as in the opinion of the surveyors, can be readily repaired, and that being accomplished, you will of course use every possible exertion to prosecute your voyage, not doubt- ing your attention having been strictly directed, in every de- partment of disbursements to the utmost economy. In the ac- counts of the mechanics be careful to discriminate between re- pairs which may have been required from the perils of the pending voyage, and those which may have been incurred from previous defects or wear and tear. And should any of the ma- terials be intended to answer temporary purposes only, the survey and bills should be designated in conformity. Having arrived with your vessel and uargo at your port of destination, and your repairs being only temporary, you will immediately hold another survey to direct what materials and workmanship are necessary to constitute your vessel being every way staunch and strong, to proceed on another voyage, which it is your bounden duty to observe. All repairs, arising from a voluntary and deliberate sacrifice, such as masts and appendages cut away to lighten the vessel when in imminent danger of foundering. Cables cut, when the vessel is dragging her anchors, and apprehensions exist of her going ashore or running foul of another vessel; and in fact whatever sacrifices are made for general benefit, are to be re- paid by general contribution, say by vessel, freight and cargo, in proportion to their respective nett values, at the port of de- livery. These observations apjdy also to any part of the car- go jettisoned, (except goods on deck which are not paid for, but nevertheless contribute) to relieve the vessel when in dis- tress. It is a sound principle of maritime law, that the collateral is to follow the principal. Hence if in a storm the masts are carried away, and you are obliged to cut away the sails, rig- ging, &c. to clear the wreck, the whole of the loss falls on the vessel alone, and this doctriue is applicable to every description of casualty. In adjusting a case of general average it may be useful to you to state that the following are fair charges, i. e. i Ixvi Appendix. The officers' and seamens' wages, according to Ihe shipping articles, from the day the vessel bears away to seek a port of safety, until the day she is again refitted, reladen, and ready to proceed (he voyage ; this is uudisputed according to the laws of the United States. Port pay for the captain atone dollar per diem. Provisions for mates and crew at thirty-three and one-third cents per diem. Expenses of pilotage, landing, wharfage, transporting, stor- age, relading, commissions, and loss of exchange. Loss on goods sold to defray charges, to be computed at the value of what the same would have netted the shipper or con- signee at the port of destination. Charge for protests and surveys previous to discharging. Custom House fees. Co^t of stating the general average. To define all the causes from which a subject of general ave- rage might arise, or to recapitulate all the minute charges inci- dent thereto, would occupy more space lhan has been stated to be the object of my present undertaking ; but I trust I have sufficiently enlarged on the several points thereof to constitute a ground-work on which to regulate, by simple reasoning, a de- cision in almost all cases which may occur. New materials replaced, and workmanship necessary thereto, are subject to a deduction of one-third of the cost, except anchors and chain cables, on which no deduction is to be made ; whether the loss be in the nature of partial or general average. I have laid down these several points of law, because in cases of general average an adjustment must take place at the port of delivery, as there, and there only, can you have controul over the cargo, which you are not bound to deliver until you have received satisfactory security by bond or otherwise. In cases of partial loss or repairs to be borne by the vessel alone, it is advisable to transmit all the documents to your owners to be arranged and settled as they may judge proper. Finally — the master of a ship who has contracted debts on account of the ship, has a lien upon the goods and freight to the amount of such debts ; and the consignees of the cargo, after notice to this effect, cannot pay the freight to the owner without the consent of the master, and if they do, they will be liable to refund so much as the extent of the debts. Jlppendix. Lxyii SUPERCARGOES. Recommending to your attentive perusal the principles of maritime law as briefly laid down in the preceding pages ; and assuring you, that you may rely with confidence they are derived from the best legal authorities and decisions. I think it requisite merely to add a list of such documents as are neces- sary for you to procure and transmit to your shippers in the event of the cargo receiving damage on the voyage, and simply adding that all coods in a deteriorated state should be sold at public auction as soon after landing as may be consistent with due notice of the sale.
