BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, SEPT. 22.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the C.ommittee of
of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have re-
csived a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam,
inclosing translations of various notices to Mariners issued
by the Minister of the Netherlands Marine Department,
relative to changes in sea marks, copies of which are sub-
joined. (By order) T. H. FARRER.

(Copy.)
NOTICE TO MARINERS:
The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice that on ac-
count of the change which has taken place in the Friesche
Sea Gat, the outside buoy and the outer buoys have been
placed more eastward, and the number diminished by a
black and a white buoy, so that at present the white flag
buoy is the fourth white buoy on entering v • that likewise
the painted buoy, indicating the Sea Gat, has been substi-
tuted by a red anchor-shaped buoy with a basket top.
This red anchor-shaped buoy is placed inloopalms depth,
in the following bearings :
The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. E.
The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W.
S.
The bearings in which this buoy, coming from sea can
be recognised, are : the steeple of Weiram in three, with
the lighthouses on the Englishman's Bank, (namely Wei-
ram, to the west of the small lighthouse).
The outside Ist black buoy lies in 42 palms depth, and
in these bearings :
The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. to E. E.
The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W.
to W.
The outside Ist white buoy lies in 45 palms depth, bear-
ing

The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. to E.
The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W.
i S. and on the mark, the steeple of Weiram, in the

auar►z, zne steeple of
small lighthouse on the Englishman's Bank.
The course to be followed is S.W. to W., from the red
buoy to the 4th buoy, as near as possible in the middle of
the channel.

The shallowest sounding at the entrance of the Channel
is from 33 to 35 palms, it is shallowest along the white
buoys
No change has taken place in the buoys farther inland.
It must be borne in mind that with northerly winds and
ebb tide, the navigation between the outer buoys is gene-
rally very difficult and the sea very rough. It is very diffi-
cult to enter with south-westerly winds at flood tide. The
bearings are taken by unadjusted compass, and the sound-
ings at ordinary low water.
Ere long buoys will likewise be placed in the Middle Gat,
of which further notice will be given.

The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice, in connexion
with sundry former notices, that, for better observation at
sea, large anchor-shaped beacon buoys have been placed as
outer buoys in most of the mouths of rivers in the king-
dom, furnished with a crown or top basket, and more es-

The above-named buoys, lying outside the Friesche Sea
Cat, those of Terschelling and the Flie, as also those out-
side the East Gat of the Western Schelde, are painted red,
the others are black.

For the same purpose an iron pyramidical sea buoy has
for some time been placed outside the Slijkgat of Goede-
reede.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice, that, for the
better indication of the Eyerland Shallows, a lighthouse
has now been erected on the Robbebol (west point or Horst
of Flieland), as also a screen on the Texel Downs near the
Koog.

It is considered useful for the general benefit of naviga-
tion to repeat and make known the following, as a con-
tinuation to the notices regarding those shallows, dated the
16th April and 27th October, 1852.
1. The depth at five fathoms water, at ordinary low
water, extends along that part of the coast, from opposite
the Koog on Texel, along the Eyerland Shallows, to oppo-
site Flieland, about N.E. and S.W. to N.E. by E., and
S.W. by W. (per compass) and especially :
a. In the W.S.W. from the screen near the Koog, at
the distance of half a German mile.

b. Along the west coast of the iierland Shallows in the
W.N.W. at of a mile distance from the look-out post, in
the Downs of Eyerland ;
c. In the W.N.W. at fully half a mile distance from the
lighthouse of the Robbebol ;
d. And in the N.N.E. at nearly two-thirds of a mile
distance from the above-mentioned lighthouse ;
2. The screen has been placed in the Downs of Texel,
near the Koog, for the better, surer, and quicker observa-
tion of the island Texel, and as a warning for the Eyer-
land Shallows ; the lighthouse on the Robbebol, (Horst or
west end of Flieland), has been erected for the same pur-
pose, as also to make ships keep further off the coast at
this point.
3. The screen is placed on the Down near the Koog,
bearing N.E. by E., and S.W. by W., about 30 Nether-
land ells above high water ; and in shape resembles the
roof of a house.

4. The lighthouse on the west corner of the Robbebol, is
placed 18 Netherland ells above highest water, and re-
mains
dry in ordinary spring tides. This light is furnished
with two oval screens, the one bearing N.E. and S.W.,
and the other N.W. and S.E.
This part of the coast is generally approached far too
closely, especially by small ships and ignorant parties, and
Very_ great risk is incurred by sailing near the coast and

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LLANIDLOES AND NEWTOWN.

The first general meeting of this company was held
last week at Llanidloes, Mr. G. H. Whalley in the
chair.

The report stated that the act for the incorporation of
the company received the Royal assent on the 4th of
August last. So soon as the land is clear of corn the
line will be marked out, the purchase of the land will
then be made, and the works will be contracted for. A
company is in course of formation, and surveys are in
progress, for a line from Newtown to Shrewsbury, by
way of the Rea Valley. The directors do not hesitate
to express their opinion that the Rea Valley line to
Shrewsbury would be the best line for the company,
because it would be the best for the public. As regards
the North and South Wales line from Llanidloes to Mil-
ford Haven, the directors have no hesitation in recom-
mending their shareholders to afford that company, both
individually and collectively, the utmost co-operation.
The directors are assured that the Parliamentary and
all the other preliminary expenses of obtaining the act
are not likely to exceed 2,5001. The estimated traffic
on the line amounts to 8,2501., and the working ex-
penses to 50 per cent., leaving a balance of 4,1251.,
being nearly 7 per cent. on 60,0001., the required capital.
The estimate is made solely upon calculations of the
present local traffic between the towns of Llanidloes and
Newtown. The qualifications of a director is the pos-
session in his own right of 25 shares in the company.
The report of Mr. R. Hopkins, the engineer, stated
that the estimate for the works is 48,0001., and for the
land, act, and contingencies 12,0001., the length of the
line being about 12 miles. He expresses his entire con-
fidence in the sufficiency of the estimates, provided the
works be laid out with judgment and economy, and be
let, by competition, to satisfactory contractors.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the meeting upon the success which had
attended their exertions in obtaining their aot of incor-
poration. He then entered into a description of the va-
rious schemes that had been projected in connection
with their line, some of which were rejected by Parlia-
ment in the late session. The directors were desirous
of seeing their line extended at both ends, and they were
glad to be able to state that projects were then before
the public for accomplishing those objects. There was
a project which had been suggested to the directors for
extending the line from Llanidloes to Llangwrig, a dis-
tance of five miles. It was the most practical mode of
meeting the wishes of the North and South Wales Com-
pany, and it would give the finishing stroke to the
Machynlleth line. Their line would be a trunk line,
which would throw out its branches and extensions to
Aberystwith, Rhayader, and Milford Haven.
Mr. W. LEFEAUX, deputy chairman, seconded the
adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. JONES, seconded by Mr.
REES, a resolution was passed requesting the directors
to take steps for the prosecution of an extension line
rom Llandiloes to Llangwrig in the next session of
Parliament.

Resolutions were passed electing Messrs. G. H.
Whalley, W. Lefeaux, T. E. Marsh, J. Lefeaux, E.
Cleaton, W. Cleaton, R. Holmes, T. Davis, E. Jones,
W. Lloyd, T. Prickard, E. Williams, and T. F. Ro-
berts, directors of the company ; appointing Messrs. J.
Jenkins and E. Rees auditors, with an allowance of
5/. ss. each per annum ; and fixing the salary of the
secretary at 50/. per annum.
Thanks were voted to the secretary and directors for
their services, and the meeting separated.

MULLINGAR AND CAVAN.
The works on this line has been commenced by MT.
Dargan, and it is expected they will be completed in
about 18 months from the present time. This line is to
form a junction with the proposed railway from Cavan
to Armagh, which, when made, will complete the direct
communication by railway from Belfast to Galway, and
thus open up a large district of country—on the one
hand to the Midland Great Western Railway, and on
the other to the Ulster Railway. The former line is
open to Galway, and the latter to Belfast.
