Major-General Fleming, the commanding officer of the
Limerick district, succeeds to the colonelcy of the 27th

nicle) that they will shortly be made the Irish Grena-
diers.

view of the troops in garrison at the square of the new
barracks, Limerick.

Lieut.:General Sir Edward Blakeney, comm.rnder of

Pigeonhouse Fort, Dublin, Oct. 1.

A CI-ow) MARKSMAN.—On Friday last, Colour-seT-
jeant Anderson, of the 27th (Inniskilling) Infantry, in
fulfilling a bet made for a considerable :sum, with some
civilians of Armagh, shot a hen at the distance of 600
yards, with one of the new Minie rifle s. Mr. Henry,
land steward to the Rev. Mr. G. Gui Ilemard, hit the
bull's eye at the first shot, and at a similar distance,
with the same rifle. The latter had r nade a bet that he
would kill a hen at the distance in qr estion. The Minie
rifles are calculated to effect a wondr, ous change, if used
in action. An ordinary marksman v rould be sure of his
aim in conflict with an enemy. Col our-serjeant Ander-
son is a rare shot. His eye is well sustained by a hand
steady to its aim.—Newry_Te/egrap4.

SLNGLE WICKET MATCH.—SCALES v. SPILLMAN.—The
match between these gentlemen (the former a member of
the Horton Amateurs, was played on Thursday on the
ground, Islington, in which the superiority of Mr. Scales
soon became manifest. Mr. Spillman first took the bat,
but was speedily dislodged by the second ball of Scales
(a. ripper) becoming acquainted with his timber. Mr.
Scales then went to the wicket and exhibited some very
fine play, scoring very freely, in dashing style, 20, among
which was a four. Spillman again went to the wicket,
but was unable to cope with the superior play of Mr.
Scales, his wicket eventually falling for 10 rims, Scales
winning in one innings by 7 runs. Score ;-Ist innings—
Spillman, b Scales, 1 ; Scales, b Spillman, 20. 2d in-
nings—Spillman, b Scales, 10 ; wide, 1 ; no ball, 1-12.

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-
pecially—
Outside the North-east Friesche Sea Gat.

The above-named buoys, lying outside the Friesche Sea
Gat, 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 Goode-
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 Fl;eland.), 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 Eyerland Shallows in the
W.N.W. at 4 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
shallows ; even in fine weather with the wind off land,
ships as well by day and night are very apt to run aground
or out of their course with squally weather and by the mis-
guidance of the currents along the coast and at the mouth
of the river.
5. The lighting of the coast hereabouts may also be con-
sidered as very satisfactory, for :
a. The light of Flieland is, with ordinary beacon sight,
visible at fully 34 miles distance, close up to the coast of
Flieland, in the Eyerland Shallows, and even at a small
distance from the coast of Texel, near the Koog :
b. The revolving light of Treschelling is also visible from
sea at 5 miles distance to a little north of the Eyerland
Shallows ; and
c. The light of Kijkduin, which (when repaired) will
soon be visible at a distance of 5 miles, remains visible,
coming from the west, until after having reached the south
west beyond, and past the west corner of the Downs of
Texel ; especially when observed at some elevation from
the rigging when close on the Texel coast, the light of
Flieland is or soon becomes visible.
Although the above-mentioned observations will be
fouDd very useful, as well for guidanc 3 as warning, still
mariners are strongly recommended when sailing round or
along that coast (corner of Texel) to keep well off the coast,
and not to omit betimes frequently to use the sounding
lead.
The currents close in shore would greatly mislead ships,
especially in stormy weather and with spring tides, wish-
ing to work their way up close in shore, particularly for
those who are little acquainted with the locality ; and in
thick or foggy weather, or at night, if neglected, bad
charts and uncertain marks would soon cause the loss of
the ship.

the level of the sea is of 650 feet, Burgos measure, and
nreduces a tangent of 31 miles ; but it will be visible
from a greater or minor distance, according to the state of
the atmosphere and elevation of the observer.
