Tariff of the Peninsula and Balearic Islands-Continued.

The parties interested must present to the customs a certificate of the captain of the port showing that the certificate of measurement has been approved by the inspector, in accordance with articles 29 and 32 of said regulations; and it is to be understood that the customs will not consider the clearance and payment of the corresponding duties as finally settled until this formality has been complied with; this will be stated in the respective declaration or document. National ships which have been lengthened (or whose tonnage has been increased) in foreign dock-yards must, on their return, pay duty on the increased tonnage. Ships repaired abroad must, on their return to a port in Spain, pay duty on the materials employed for the purpose.

CUSTOMS DUTIES OF SPAIN.

REPORT BY CONSUL MARSTON, OF MALAGA.

As there seems to be a general movement being made by European Governments against the excessive duties upon imports into Spanish ports, I have the honor to report to the Department of State upon the subject of duties collected at Malaga upon articles imported into Spain from the United States, as well as upon some articles upon which heavy duties are exacted, but which are almost wholly supplied by England and other European markets.
