CITY OF LONDONDERRY. 
Tonnage, fyc. —The tonnage for every foreign ship, 5^d. per ton, British currency; for every 
ship belonging to Great Britain or Ireland, or the Plantations, trading from Foreign or British 
Plantations, 2\d. per ton; and those of thirty tons and under, ^d. per ton British currency; if 
in ballast from a port in Ireland, free, as heretofore. Steam-boats pay the same rates as other 
vessels, according to trade and property. 
Quayage. —In the old plan of Derry, dated 1625, the only semblance of a quay is a short 
mole, built nearly on the site of the present ship quay. 
Previously to 1832 the corporation alone possessed the right of having quays. They then 
lost their monopoly, and private ones were built. In November 1831 the corporation sold 
the interest of their quays to Mr. John A. Smyth, in whom their powers became consequently 
vested. Mr. Smyth adopted the former rates of quayage and port dues, and his quays are re¬ 
gulated as private property, with these provisions—that they are open to the public, and that all 
ships paying the stated charges, have a right to demand a berth. In default of payment the 
proprietor has recourse to the mayor. These quays are styled the Merchants’ or Custom-House 
Quays. There are 21 sufferance, or private wharfs, or quays, including 2 at the Waterside, in 
Clondermot. At those of the Liverpool steam-boat yards none but the steamers have berths, 
and no quayage is charged—in consequence of an agreement made between the steam-boat 
company, and their agent, to whom these quays belong, and who receives remuneration for 
them. At the Scotch steam-boat yards the same quayage is charged as at Mr. Smyth’s quays.
