BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AUG 3.

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, the en-
closed. copy (translation) of a Proclamation respecting an
alteration in the Lighthouse at Koster, on the coast of
Sweden.

(Copy.) (Translation.)
PROCLAIIATION.—The Royal Administration of Marine
announces, for the information and guidance of mariners,
that a lens apparatus of the 4th degree, with a fixed light,
and giving out sharp flashes at short intervals (fl, feu fixe,
varie par des eclats et par courtes eclipses), was put on the
Northern Lighthouse at Koster, instead of the blue light
which was there before, and that the lighting of the same
began on the evening of the 23rd of June last. According
to the trial ordered to be made to obtain information
respecting the extent and power of the light of this light-
house, compared with the lens-light of the 3rd degree, with
a fixed light, which is placed beside it, the flashing light
was visible at a distance of 3 geographical miles, and the
flashes, which only lasted 7 seconds, gave oat as much
power as the light of the fixed lighthouse.
