Ad van ”0 copies of I lie rules of the moasaremeut of vessels for the i'anami Canal have been recently Lined by the President of tic United Slates. By the:c rules all merchant vessels applying for passage through the canal will bo required to j r.sent a duly anthenticat:d certificate in the pieicrih; d Bum, setr ng out the gross and net tonnage as determined by the rules. Bailing the piodnotion of such certificate, the vrssi 1 will 1c measured hv the car,a! officials, a j roceeding which will involve her in some delay. British or other national c>rtificates will not be accc Led. "Idle p r-oas who may U-n? cerlideates are those officials who, in several countries, are

authorised to measure vessels for purposes of national resi-dry. These are, in (he British dominions, obe i-eg'strars of shipping at the various ports at which v-so Is may he registered as British shins. The rules differ considerably Iroin those rmW which shins aro measured for Ilia ish registry, but resemble fairly closely the Suez Canal measurement rules, which .are based on the system of m n asnrem f nt recommended by the International Committee which met in Constantinpole in 1873- The general cli'e -t of (he new rules appears to be that them the gross tonnage of a vessel will he greater than if measured under the Suez Canal rules, but with the more liberal deductions allowed the net tonnage (upon which the tolls or dues will he collected) will appear as somewhat le-s.
