•
The Royal Administration of Marine announces, for the
information and guidance of Mariners, that according to
his Majesty's gracious command, a great flagmark has been
setjn p on the east side of each of the two Fningrunds, and on
Grundkallegrund, situated in the South Qrarken, east of
" Grason," viz.:—

EAST FIJINGUIIND,
the shallowest portion of which is hardly 2 fathoms deep,
with an extent 'of about 700 fathoms in length, from
W.S. W. to E.N.E., in an average of 4 fathoms of water.
East of the shallowest spot. at a distance of about 500
fathoms, 5i fathoms deep, a large mark is moored, the iron
cone of which bears an iron pole 12 feet long, painted
white, and furnished at the top with a large red ball, which
is visible at a distance of geographical mile. This shoal
can be sounded up to from the north.

WEST FIIINGRII ND
has its shallowest spot only from sto 7 feet water. The
shoal, which is of a triangular form, has its longest sides
4 and 703 fathoms in length in the respective directions of
N.W. and S.E. About 330 fathoms from the shallowest
point, and east of the same, in 6i fathoms water, a mark
is set up of similar size and form to that on the east shoal,
but its pole is painted red and its ball white ' • it also is
visible at a distance of geographical mile. This shoal
cannot be sounded up to from the north side with any
security.

GRUNDICALLEGRUND.
At this extensive shoal, the limits of which are not fixed,
are found alternately, deep water np to 10 fathoms and
more, great pieces of rock, and isolated stones, one of
which is visible above the water. East of one of these
shallow points, which has however no stone above the
water, a large mark is moored, which has a pole 15 feet
long, the upper end of which furnished with a red streamer.
The mark stands in a depth of 9 fathoms, and about 3.30
fathoms from the Shallows itself. This mark is visible
about a geographical mile off in favourable weather. So
far as is known, this shoal, the extent of which from N. to
S. is about a geographical mile, cannot be sounded up to.
To avoid it, one must keep eastward till Understen, or
some other known spot comes in sight, by which the
course can be shaped. All the directions here given are
reckoned by well-regulated compasses.

&JAM OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 5.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at
Christiania, modifying the regulations respecting quaran-
tine for cholera on the south coast of Norway, of which
the following is a copy.
(Copy.) (Translation.)
By the, highest authority it has been graciously re-
solved :

First—That along the whole coast from the Swedish
frontiers to Bergen, that town and harbour, with channels
loading to it, all restrictions with respect to cholera on
vessels arriving from an infected or uninfected port in the
country or abroad, are annulled, unless during the voyage
they have had, or on arrival they have, any one on board
sick of, or dead from, malignant cholera ; in which case
qurrantine will have to be observed in conformity with the
1 T, of the Royal Resolution of the 25th June, 1849.
Second—That with respect to the quarantine in the
ports of the kingdom, the same rule is to be observed as
regards vessels arriving from a national port, but conform
able to the existing regulations for vessels arriving from
foreign ports.
Third—That all quarantine against cholera in infected
places is abrogated.

BOARD OF TRADE, WMTEIIALL, OCT. 5.

The Right Hon, the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de-
spatch from her Majesty's Consular • Agent, at Ditavia,
transmitting, a proclamation of the 23d June, 1854, by
which the Government of Netherlands India have declared
the ports of Aurboyna' Bands, Tematte, and Rajahs free
ports ; and in the closed or smaller ports of the Moluccas,
gouda shipped by native crafts from the above ports,
and vice verso, are to be exempt from import and export
dales.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 6.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received.
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam,
inclosing a Notice to Mariners, issued by the Netherlands.
Minister of Marine (a translation of which is subjoined),
relative to the lighting of the Coast Lights on the Island
of Schiermonnikoog.
(Copy.)

(Translation)
NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Minister of Marine gives further notice that the
lights on the two newly-erected lighthouses on the Island
of Schiermonnikoog have been lighted on the evening of
Ist of September for the first time, and since that day
burn every night from sunset to sunrise ; that the two
fixed lenticular lamp lights aforesaid, being of the third
size, are each placed on a round tower of stone, on the
sandhills, standing N.W. by N. and. S.E. by S., at. a dis-
tance of 1008 Netherland ells (3211 Rhineland feet) from
each other. . . . .

The most southerly and highest light stands 44.9 ells
(143 Rhineland feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 dog.
23 m. 56 s. northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 m. 49 e. longi-
tude east of Greenwich ; illumines a bow of the horizon of
245 deg., namely, from E.N.E. through the north and
west, to the south.
The most northerly light stands 42.30 ells (135 Rhine-
land feet) above ordinary high water, in 53 deg. 29:n. 14 s.
northern latitude, and 6 deg. 9 m. 3 s. longitude east of
Greenwich ; a bow of the horizon of 135 deg.,
and likewise from E.N.E. through the north, to W.N.W.
According to observations taken from the deck of a pilot
boat, with the eye 31 Netherland ells (11 Rhineland feet)
above the surface of the water, it appears--
That the Lights of Schierwonnikoog, bearing W
(rather west), and at the same time the Light of Borkum,
bearing S.E. 4 S. at the depth of fully 7 a 8 fathoms, are
lost sight of or declined (and the most northerly first) at a
distance of fully 3l German sea miles (14 English miles).
These lights, bearing S.E. by S. to S.E., with the eye at
the same elevation above the surface of the water, then at
14 fathoms depth, with fine greyish sand bottom and with
the lights level with the ho. izon to the eye, steering S.W.
by S. and S.S.W. towards the coast, the most northerly
light disappears in the E.S.E. (rather east), being there at
54 and nearly 6 fathoms' depth, close against the Auieland
shore, the steeple of Nes on ekeneland bearing S.W., which
cross-bearing accordingly gives a distance there of fully 34
miles (13 English miles) from the most northerly light of
Schierrnonnikoog.
It has likewise been found that coming round the east
from sea, and getting both these lights iu view in W.S.W
and steering for them, one runs along and free of the west
point of the Borkum Reef and the Geldzak Shoal, at 4j
5 fathoms' depth.
By keeping these lights together in one and the same
liue, bearing S.E. by So this direction is very useful for
observation above the Friesland Sea Gat.
Inside, towards the west and south side, the most south-
eely light remains visible to between Oostmahorn and the
Zeutkaalip, in the passage the Slenk, somewhat S.E. of
the buoy called the Babbelaar, near the Vlakken or Schel-
Phoek, where the light then diminishes and disappears in
the N. .1 W.
It has also been observed that the Lights of Schiermon-
nikoog, at ordinary view
andwith the eye, 4 ellistas(ln2cie
Rhineland feet) above
more or lees, according
quite visible at a d
of fully 4 miles (16 English miles),
to the state of the atmosphere, and in proportion as the eye
is raised above the surface of the water
These lights retain a bright
_brillianty. until they are ex-
tinguished; they likewise rise brightly above the horizon,
and only there, where according to the above-described lines
of compass, illumination commences
or
neither increase nor decrease suddenly, but gradually ; at
terminates ; they
two miles' distance from these Lighthouses, both Lights
are visible at equal heights above the horizon.'
The above bearings are according to non-adjusted com-
pass, the non-adjustment calculated at 21 deg. 42 m. " NV
and the depth as at ordinary low water.• "
