SHIP NEWS.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,

Whitehall, March 18, 1852.
Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, for the in-
formation of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of
Lloyd's, the accompanying copies of two notices that
have been received from her Majesty's Consul at Rot-
terdam, and whia. we... Dubfished in the Netherlands
Staats Courant, No. 56, of the sth inst., respecting the

Texel, and alteration about to
place in ~1,0 pviBtiu6
(Signed) U. B. PORTER.
Capt. Geo. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary to Lloyd's, &c.

Marine Department, the Hague, Feb. 16.
'the Minister of Marine having taken :into con-
sideration the numerous atrandings and shipwrecks
which occur on the coast of the island of Texel,
hereb7 informs and cautions mariners that tho coast
of th© island of Texel is, for the purpose of
avoiding the shallows extending from the said
coast, known under the appellation of the Eyerland
Shallows, and also designated by fishermen as the Gardens
or Orchards, not to be approached within a distance of
two to three German miles,l or a depth of 16 to 18
fathoms, as has of old been intimated and published.
The shallows to the north of the eastern part of Texel
are very dry, and extend about one mile from the shore,
and the ebb stream coming at this part of the coast from
the north-east and east-north-east, by variations of com-
pass is apt greatly to mislead. Ships coming west about
in thick weather and at night are therefore especially
recommended to make timely and careful use of the
sounding line, in order not to approach the coast of
Texel within the aforesaid 16 to 18 fathoms; the result
shown by the sounding line being the safest guide to
keep out at sea, in order to avoid the aforesaid
coast and shallows. As the charts of the North Sea are
in this respect less extensive, and as no special chart of
the Eyerland Shallows is in existence, it is intended
shortly to cause accurate soundings to be made of the
aforesaid Eyerland Shallows, which will then be included
in the Charts of the Mouths of the Sea. The Minister
aforesaid, (Signed) T. ENSUE.

The Hague, March 20, 1852.
The Minister of Marine hereby informs mariners
that the existing coast light at West Capelle, composed
of argand lamps, with parabolic reflectors, will, in all
probability, have to be temporarily extinguished at the
commencement of the ensuing month of May, to be re-
placed by a powerful cstadioptrio light of the first class.
From the time when the present light will be ex.
tinguished up to the lighting of the improved light (cal-
culated to embrace a period of about six weeks) an
auxiliary light will be exhibited from the aforesaid
beacon, consisting of a eatadioptric lighting apparatus
of the fourth class (small size). The time of lighting
the aforesaid auxiliary light, as also the horizon thereby
to be lighted, and the distance at which it will be visible
will be published later. The Minister aforesaid,
(Signed) T. ENSUE.

Light-house on the Ponta da Atalita, province of Para.
Brazilian Consulate-General, Liverpool, March 17.
Sir,—l am direoted by the Brazilian Government to
make public, for the information of all parties whom it
may concern, that a light-house, of which I beg to hand
you the particulars, has recently been erected on the
Ponta da Atalaia, in the Salinas, province of Para, in
the empire of Brazil, and that the said light-house was
intended to be in operation on and after the 15th of
February last.
(Signed) J. M. BRAGA, Vice-Consul,
Acting-Consul-General.
Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's.
Particulars of the light-house recently erected on the
Ponta da Atalaia, in the Salinas, province of Para,
empire of Brazil, lat. 34 S., long. 33 32 of the meridian
of the Ilha do Ferro :—The light is visible at 17 miles
distance, is varied, and presents the following phases:—
Bright white light during 70 seconds—Eclipse of ob-
scurity during 16 ditto—lncreasing and brilliant light
gradually diminishing until it disappears, 12 ditto—
Another eclipse, 22 ditto: total, 120. The phases suc-
ceed each other at intervals of two minutes.

" MUDDLE." Any real endeavour to defeat
" muddle" (expressive and distressing dissyllable) has onr
heartiest good wishes. Against muddle—the muddle of
ignorance, the muddle of idleness, the muddle of want of
order, the love-destroying and comfort-killing " muddle o
inexorable cleanliness," against muddle in the drawing-
f
room, the studio, or the workshop—we wage war eternal
and unsparing. Unhappy victims of muddle, who shall re-
count your miseries or obtain you redress? Muddle cannot
get for five pounds what Order, Judgment, and Energy can
get for one: muddle makes fortune of little avail, and takes
the shine out of a life which might otherwise be all bright-
ness. "Lucky Jones has married a wife with 3001. a year;
but then she is a sad muddle." Miserable Jones! do you
know what you have done? Muddle would Ise dear at
double the money. Muddle will provide for you no home to
rest in—no sympathising comforter to advise. In the temple
where muddle reigns there will be found no peace, no beauty,
no good. Against muddle the dower weighs not. An ob-
serving eye, a calculating head, a ready hand, a gentle step,
a loving heart, external neatness, internal purity, are more
to
inette considered than hundreds a year, trashy accomplish-
;
e' lofty
connexions, and unhealthy apings of the class
above, Mothers be wise • make your daughters able women,
