There are no charges levied on British vessels in the port of Charleston which are not levied on vessels under the American flag; nor are there any commercial, fiscal, or other advantages enjoyed by American vessels at this port from which British vessels are excluded.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.-There are neither tolls nor dues of any kind imposed by public authority on British shipping in the ports of this district, and the only fees to which they are subject are, two dollars for a square-rigged, or one dollar twenty-five cents for lesser vessels, to the harbourmaster, for mooring, securing, or removing the vessel; and the fees of the custom-house, upon entry or clearance, depending, however, principally upon the number and nature of the documents that may be required, the charge for each being regulated by Act of Congress, and precisely the same throughout the United States, viz.:—

The only vouchers given are the documents that may be required, or, if specially desired, a emorandum of the several charges incurred will be furnished; but such is not usually called for. There are no charges levied on British vessels to which those under the flag of the country are not liable; nor are there any sort of commercial, fiscal, or other advantages enjoyed by the one and not by the other, being placed upon terms of perfect reciprocity by the commercial treaty between the two countries.
