SINGLE WICKET MATAIL—SCALER V. SPILL MAN.—The
match between these gentlemen (the former a member of
the Hoxton 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 rnns, Soako
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.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, SEPT. 22.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have re-
ceived 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 enterinc, ; 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-
rain, 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.
6 S. and on the mark, the steeple of Weiram, in the
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.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

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.
„ „ North-east Sea Gat of Terschelling.
„ „ Thomas Smith Gat.
~ „ Stortemelksche Sea Gat (the Flie).
„ „ Westgat
of Texel.
„ „ Schulpengat
„ „ Brouwershaven Sea Gat.
„ „ Roompot Sea Gat (East Schelde).
„ „ East Gat
}Western Schelde.
„ „ Wielingen
The above-named buoys, lying outside the Friesohe 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 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.

Itris considered useful for the general benefit of naviga-
tion to repeat and make known the following, as a con-
tinuation to the rintie.es .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.N.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 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
found very useful, as well for guidance 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.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTHOUSES ON THE COAST OF SPAIN.

The Minister of Marine has communicated to this office,
through the Ministry of Public Works, the following de-
tailed information respecting tho situation of two new
light-houses erected on the coasts of the Spanish Peninsula
by the Corps of Engineers of Roads, Canals, and Ports :

ATLANTIC OCEAN.

LIGHTHOUSE ON THE CIES ISLANDS.

Province of Pontevedra.—From the 19th of November
next a new lighthouse, established on the top of Mount
Faro, which is the foremost point of the southern ex-
tremity of the Isla del Centre, will be lighted every night,
from sunset to sunTise,

This lighthouse lies in-
-42° 12' 23" N. latitude, and
2° 41 50" W. longitude from the Observatory of
San Fernando.

Its apparatus is of the second catadioptrical order, with
eclipses every other minute. The light's elevation above
the level of the sea is of 650 feet, Burgos measure, and
produces 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.
