NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade
have received, through hor Majesty's Consul-General at
Algiers, a Notification issued by the Acting-Prefect of
Algiers, to the effect that a light which has been placed on
the extremity of the quay at the port of Cherchell, which
extends beyond the small island of Joinville to the east,
was lighted up for the first time on the 15th inst.,The light
as seen from the sea is brilliant and cannot be confounded
with the lights of the town, which are much more distant.
This light will for the future enable vessels to avoid the
large rock which shuts is the entry to the port of Cher-
cheli to the east, and to follow a better passage in entering
the basin. The port of Cherchell is situated about 50
miles to the westward of Algiers.

TxrrERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the
weather there was a strong muster this afternoon, both
inside and outside the room, and the business of settling
the accounts connected with the recent meeting at New-
market was actively resumed ; but although a very large
amount of money changed hands, a considerable sum, in
the aggregate, is still wanted.
Complaints of " tightness" were numerous. Nothing
was heard of the parties who found it convenient to
absent themselves from Newmarket on Wednesday last.
The hope of a compromise, or of some satisfactory
arrangement with their creditors, appears, however, to
be entertained.

Not a few accounts are likely to be " wintered on,"
but this is not at all an uncommon circumstance at the
close of the season,

At intervals there was some wagering on the Worcester
Handicap and the Derby ; and at the conclusion of busi-
ness our list of quotations was as follows :
