NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade
have received, through her 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 in the entry to the port of Cher-
chell 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.
