NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Minister of Marine has communicated to this office,
through the department of Public Works, the subjoined
details, relative to the situation of a new lighthouse, which
has been built on the coasts of the Spanish Peninsula by
the corps of engineers of roads, canals, and ports, where-
with the following notice has been drawn up :

ATLANTIC OCEAN—COASTS OF GALICIA.
LIGHTHOUSE ON CAPE PRlOR.—Province of Comma—
From the Ist of March, of the present year, a new light-
house, established on the "north side of Cape Prior," will
be lighted every night, from sunset to sunrise.
This lighthouse lies in 43 deg. 33 min. 43 sec, N. lati-
tude, and 2 deg. 6 min. 52 sec. W. longitude from the Ob-
servatory of San Fernando.

Its apparatus is of the third catadioptrical order, with a
permanent light, grand model. The elevation of the lu-
minous focus above the level of the sea is of 136.5 metres
(489.87 feet), and produces a tangent of 24 miles, although
it will only be visible at a distance of about 15 miles, ac-
cording to the state of the atmosphere and the elevation of
the observer.

The above notice is hereby published, by order of the
Queen, for the guidance of mariners.
