INCHOR- SMITHS, MANUFACTURERS S DOCK, IifiERPOOL LIVERPOOL rriip Commit SHIPOWIN :ee of this A that after the foil, the important subj extension had been laid I ASSOCIATION iy a recent vote plans for Dock- information of the Trade and of the Public Giverpo Committee, it GEORGE KENDALL Chairman `Liverpool Shipowners' Association, 201/4 D e cember, 1813. " This Association lately addressed you upon the pres sing and extreme necessity of further Dock room, and urging the propriety of the Dock Trustees possessing themselves, with that object, of all the land north and south of the Town applicable to Dock purposes, limits which we defined as comprising the whole of the land, at the south, from Knott's Hole rocks to the present boun dary of the Dock Estate—and at the north, the large tract of land lately purchased by the Corporation from the Earl of Derby. —_ " Since that time we have observed, from the published reports of the discussions in your Committee, that an opinion prevails on the part of some of the members, that your present proposed purchase at the south end may be abandoned, or at least delayed, advantageously as respects its cost to the Dock Estate, and without detri- meiit to the commercial interest of such opinion, that 1 a vote of t Association this day, I have you. tee of the een again desired to address We have as a body no partiality in favour of one end _ town over the other. We earnestly and equally desire Dock-extension to the utmost amount which can be afforded us both north and south ; but if we are asked t which end the first improven lesirahle and useful, we should would be the _ly reply at the because that end of the Town has of late years appeared to us to en somewhat neglected i and particularl3 mproveme son of giving greater fad south than your pres t Estate are aware that an objection h south of the Brunswick Doc shipping inter -- Dock further post and Cam las 'been urged that the land k would not afford a suffici- but we are not borne out arrangement of the ent width of quay space for a Timber Dock decidedly of opinion that the objection by the facts, and that by a proper space and business on the w, quay would be obtained on the e est side of such a Doc he discharge of timbe st side quite adequate to " We also feel bound to express to you, in the very strongest terms, our opinion that in any plans which may be adopted for the improvements at the south end, the retention there of the present Graving Docks, and in construction, if possible. their present situat of further Graving removal of Docks would b south end of thl absolutely ruinous to the trad de at the. Town, for real very_one acquainted with shipping ,ly obvious to '• We cannot avoid drawing your attention to new (to us) and very alarming evidence of the necessity of further Dock room ;—we mean the recent testimony of your nishing fact that he has Surveyor to the as )een for a of them have been in that dangerous position for many years. Now though this operation of cleansing the Docks is a very irksome and inconvenient one to shipowners, and ought only to be resorted to when absolutely necessary, and at the proper season, we really are apprehensive (using, we believe, your Surveyor's own words) that some of these Docks will one day or other run dry themselves, and it seems to us to be our bounden duty thus to add our warning to his of the fearful consequences of such a dis aster to the shipping interest, and of the responsibility for the same which must attach to the Dock Trust. " In conclusion, we beg leave to state, as seems neces sary, that none of the opinions expressed in this or our former communication are in any degree affected by the plan lately brought forward for constructing Docks on the Cheshire side of the river. We wish all possible success to that design but are of opinion that it cannot be ex pected, for many years, to come, to be of any very mate rial utility to this Port. And even if the fact could be proved to be otherwise, we should still submit that it would afford no just ground for any relaxation of the efforts to increase Dock accommodation on the Liverpool side, but rather the contrary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. ) SKERRYVORE LIGHTHOUE THE COMMISSIONERS of the ORTHERN LIGHTHOUSES HEREBY GI E NOTICE that a LIGHTHOUSE has been erecte pon the SKER RYVORE ROCK, which lies off the I LAND of TYREE, in the County of Argyle, the Light of which will be Exhi bited on the night of the Ist FEBRUARY, 1844, and every Night thereafter, from Sun-set to Sun-rise. The following is a Specification of the Position of the Lighthouse, and the Appearance of the Light, by Mr. ALAN STEVENSON, Engineer to the Commis sioners : The SKERRYVORE ROCK lies of the Island of Tyree, in lat. 56 deg. 19 min. 22 sec., N ; long. 7 deg. 6 min. 32 sec. W. By Compass the Lighthouse bears from Barrahead Lighthouse, 5.4- E., distant 33 nautic miles ; from Ifynish Point, in Tyree, W.S.W. 1 W., distant IN miles ; from lona Island, W.N.W. 1 N., distant 20 miles; from Rhinns of Islay Lighthouso, N. 4- E., distant 44 miles; and from Innistrahull Lighthouse in Ireland, N.E. by N., distant 53 miles. Owing to the distance to which the foul ground extends on every side of the Rock on which the Lighthouse is placed, and the weight of sea which breaks on the shallow ground all round it, it is necessary to give the LIGHT A WIDE BERTH. The better to enable seamen to judge of this, their attention is called to a Chart, prefixed to a se parately printed notice, which exhibits the relative posi tion of the Skerryvore Rock, and the various dangers around it. In particular, it is necessary to notice the po sition of those Rocks which lie seaward of the Lighthouse, viz., MACKENZIE'S Rock, about 3 miles W. by S. } S. from the Lighthouse; STEVENSON'S, 21 miles W., 1 N ; and FRESNEL'S, which lies between these two Rocks. Copies of the notice, with the Chart prefixed, will be es- tensively circulated to all the Customhouses of the United Kingdom, and will be seen by any mariner on application. The SKERRYVORE LIGHT will be known to Mariners as a REVOLVING LIGHT, producing a BRIGHT FLASH once every minute. The Lantern, which is open all round, is elevated 150 feet above the level of the sea. In clear wea ther the flashes of the Light will be seen at the distance of six leagues, and at lesser distances according to the state of the atmosphere ; and to a near observer, in fa vourable circumstances, the Light will not wholly disap pear between the flashes. And the Commissioners HEREBY FURTLIE II GIVE NOTICE, that by virtue of a Warrant from the queen in Council, of date the 13th Dec., 1843, the following Tolls will be levied for voyages in respect of which benefit will be derived from this light, viz., from every British Vessel (the same not belonging to Her Majesty, or being navigated wholly in Ballast,) and for every Foreign Vessel which by any Act of Parliament, Order in Council, Con vention, or Treaty, shall be privileged to enter the Ports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, upon paying the same Duties of Tonnage as are paid by tu's I Ballast) tl Toll of ONE PENNY per Ton of 11le burden Vessel; and for every Foreign Vessel not ALEX.
