The Harbor of Boston accommodates an immense shipping. The number of wharves enumerated is 118, yet there we nearly 100 docks and small wharves not mentioned. We here give the length of some of the principal wharves : India Wharf, 980 feet ; Central Wharf, 1,379 feet; Long Wharf, 1,800 feet ; Commercial Whary, 1,100 feet ; Union What', 640 feet. Lewis and Eastern Railroad wharves are also of large dimensions.
The city proper possesses superior advantages for commercial enterprise. With the accommodations afforded at East Boston, for ship building and repairing, the wharves of the Grand Junction Railroad Company, and the extensive but yet undeveloped resources of South Boston, the city possesses the natural maritime facilities for an almost unlimited commerce.

CITY LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
1 APPOINTMENT OF ASSESSORS.
There shall be chosen annually in March, by concurrent vote of the two branches of the city government, seven assessors. Four of these shall devote their whole time to the service of the city. The remaining three, who are to be elected by a separate ballot, will devote only a part of their time to the duties of their office. Their compen- sation, while going through the wards, will be $4 per day ; and for other services, $3 per day.
ASSISTANT ASSESSORS.
Twenty-four assistant assessors shall also be chosen, two from each ward, and they shall receive for their services, such compensation as the City Council may determine. The assessors and assist- ant assessors organize by the choice of a chairman and secretary.
DUTIES.
It shall be the duty of one or more of the assistant assessors, with one or more of the asses- sors, to visit the different estates in their respective wards, and to assist in taking a list of the polls, in estimating the value of personal property, and in appraising the value of real estate.
TIME OF ASSESSMENT.
On the Ist of May the assessors and assistant assessors commence visiting the residences and places of business of the citizens, for the purpose, ist, of obtaining a correct list of legal voters ; 2nd, of estimating the value of personal property ; and 3d, of appraising the real estate.
In 1846 the tax was 86 on $1,000 ; in 1849, 86.50 on $1,000. The poll tax is $1.50.
PROPERTY ASSESSED.
The assessors shall assess, upon the owners of real estate, lying within the city, the amount of tazes for which such real estate may be taxable; provided that, in any case where the assessors may deem it to be more for the public interest to assess the tenant or occupant, instead of the owner, they may so assess such tenant or occupant; and pro- vided, also, that nothing herein shall affect the rights which owners and tenants may have respect- ively, by reason of any agreement made between themselves concerning such taxes.
Transfers may be made of assessments made upon persons not owning real estate, with which they may be assessed, to the persons who owned it at the time of assessment.
twenty-one years old, have resided in the State one year, and in the city six months previous to any election ; must also have paid a tax bill as- sessed within two years, and have his name record- ed on the voters' list, at the City Clerk's office, City Hall. If his name is on the check list, with a portion of it omitted, he is disqualified for vot- ing. The information about property and the full names should in all cases be freely given to the assessors, as by so doing great inconvenience will often be prevented, both to the government and to the individuals. A foreigner cannot vote until he has taken out his naturalization papers, to do which he must have been in the country five years.
