THIS article is merely inserted as serving to inform our readers, that the powers of demanding various dues and customs relating to the Hull River and the port of Kingston-upon-Hull, together with the building of quays, wharfs, &amp;c. for the securing the revenues of his Majesty's customs there, were legalized by an act of 14th George III. entitled, 'An Act for making and establishing public Quays or Wharfs at Kingston-upon-Hull, for the better securing his Majesty's Revenues of Customs, and for the Benefit of Commerce in the Port of Kingston-upon-Hull; for making a Basin or Dock, with Reservoirs, Sluices, Roads and other Works for the Accommodation of Vessels using the said Port; and for appropriating certain Lands belonging to his Majesty, and for applying certain Sums of Money out of his Majesty's Customs at the said Port for those Purposes, and for establishing other necessary Regulations within the Town and Port of Kingston-upon-Hull.' The other acts above-noticed relate principally to making a new dock and other regulations.

For the extent of the port we refer to the map, and for the various dues to the acts, those particulars not coming within the design of a work on inland navigation.
