RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Warden's Office, Philadelphia. For the information and government of Owners, Masters, and others, having the command, care, or charge of Ships or Vessels within the port or harbour of Philadelphia, the Wardens of the port conceive it necessary to publish the following Rules and Regulations:
1. Every ship or vessel that may arrive in this harbour, and that shall come to anchor in the stream, any where be- tween Almond street (in the district of Southwark,) and Vine street, having previousty caused her gunpowder, if she had any on board, to be landed as the law directs, may re- main in that situation 24 hours, and no longer: taking care to lay as near to the Island, or Sand-bar, as may be consis- tent with their safety. But if, from the circumstance of a vessel having servants on board, or from any other cause, it may be thoughit necessary or convenient to lie a longer time in the stream, then, and in every such case, the Owner, Mas- ter, Pilot, or other person, baving the charge or direction of such vessel, shall remove her from opposite the city, and shall moor her, or cause her to be moored to the northward of Vine street, with one anchor and cable up, and one anchor

and cable down the stream; and in both the above-mentioned situations, the regulations contained in the next succeeding article to be duly attended to.
2. When a ship or other vessel shall be hauled into any wharf or dock, or along side of another vessel that may be lying at such wharf or dock, the Owner, Master, Pilot, ot whoever may have the command, care or direction of her, shall have her securely made fast, and if outside of another vessel, shall get one good fast from each end of the vessel to the shore, and within 24 hours thereafter, cause her jib- boom, spritsail-yard, main-boom, ring-tail and driver-booms, if any they have, to be rigged in, and their lower yards top- ped up, in such a manner as least to interfere with vessels passing.
3. If any vessel, properly moored in the stream, shall have her anchor or cable overlaid by another ship or vessel, in an- choring or mooring, the Master or person having the care or direction of such last-mentioned ship or vessel, shall imme- diately, or soon as may be, after application made to him by the party aggrieved, cause the said anchor and cable so over- laying, to be taken up and cleared.
4. If the fasts of a ship or vessel, when moored at a wharf, shall extend across a dock, so as to obstruct the passing or repassing of a shallop, lighter, or other craft or vessel, the Master or other person having the charge or command of' such ship or vessel, shall, upon the first application, imme- diately cause such fast or fasts to be cast off' or slacked down.
5. No outward bound vessel putting off from a wharf, shall ne longer in the stream, between Vine street and Ahnond street (in the district of Southwark,) above-mentioned, than 24 hours. And if vessels lying at the end of wharves, so much interlock with each other, as to prevent vessels from hauling in or out of the docks, the Master, Owner, Pilot, or other person having charge of the sam'e, shall immediately on application from any person so wanting to haul his vessel in or out of the dock aforesaid, have the vessel or vessels, so in- terfering, moved in such manner as to accommodate the one applied for; in which case the vessel making room for ano- ther to haul in or out, shall have liberty to make her warps fast to the most convenient place adjacent for a reasonable time, and that all sea vessels, when transporting or wanting to haul into a wharf or dock, or to make sail in order to pro- ceed to sea, shall have the same privilege.
6. When any ship or vessel is lying along side any wharf, and not taking in or discharging, she shall make way for, and permit any vessel that wants to unload or load, to come inside next the wharf, until she discharges or loads her cargo; and the said vessel when so discharged or loaded, shall haul outside and give way to the ship or vessel that first occupied the wharf -- Provided, that from the first day of December to the first day of March, no vessel shall be compelled to move.

Letters must be left at the Post Office within the time spe- cified, to insure going in the mail of the day; and Newspa- pers, before that time.

When letters are not for a Post Town, the nearest Post Town ought to be mentioned.
The Post Office is open daily, from sun-rise to sun-set, ex- cept on Sundays, the Fourth of July, and Christmas day, when it is open from 8 to 9 A. M. and from 2 to 3 P. M.
Persons wishing to pay postage when the Office is shut, can enclose the money with the letter, directed to " The Post Office."
