The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses hereby
give notice, that with the view to a permanent light, being
ultimately established in the same locality, a temporary
lighthouse tower has been erected off the North End of
the Island of Unst, in Shetland, and that the light will
be exhibited therefrom for the first time on the night of
Wednesday, 11th October, 1854, and every night there-
after, from the going away of daylight in the evening till
the return of daylight iu the morning.
Tho following is a specification of the Lighthouse, and

gineer to the Commissioners

The temporary lighthouse is erected on Muckle Flugga,
being one of the group of rocks called the Burra Fiord
Mims, which lie off the headland of Hermaness, being
the northern extremity of the Island of Unst. The light-
house is in N. lat. 60 deg. rd min. 20 sec., and W. long.
0 deg. 53 min. 3 sec.
The small rock called the Out Stack, which is the most
northern rock of the Shetland Isles, bears from the light-
house about E. by N. N. by compass, and is distant
about half a nautic mile.

The North Unlit Light will be known to mariners ax

fixed light, of the natural colour. It is elevated about
165 feet above the level of high-water of ordinary spring-
tides, and may be seen at the distance of about nineteen
nautic miles, and at lesser distances according to the state
of the atmosphere.

council, dated the 3rd day of July last, the following tolls
are authorised to be levied in respect of the said Light-
house ; viz. :
For every vessel belonging to the United Kingdom, the
same nut belonging to her Majesty, her heirs or successors,

Kingdom upon paying the same duties of tonnage as are
payable by British vessels which may pass or derive benefit
from the light, the toll of two-sixteenths of a penny per
ton of the burthen of every such vessel, for every time of
passing or deriving benefit therefrom, if on a coasting
