Vpon the l.land of Watitleroog, situated at the extrorn
ivestern mouth of the River Wcser,_the nature of tie na-
vigable waters of the Weser as respects the drifting ice, so
far as the information can be obtained, will Le signalised
to the mariners in the folloWing manner:-
Ist. A ball of about four and a half feet in diameter,
projecting from a pole placed in the west side of the great

125 feet above the level of the sea, indicate that there is
still floating ice in the Weser, the navigatiol in the same
must only be undertaken with the greatest circumspec-
tion ;- still, however, with a good wind, and otherwise on.
der- favourable circumstances, it may be possible to reach'
Bremerhaven or Fedderwarden, if. for the first
case, the wind blows briskly from the East to the N. E.,
and for the latter, between the N. W. and W. S W.

2d,• Two balls, 'on the contrary, hangi•ag out perpendi-
cularly one under the other, with an interval of six feet be-
tsvcrn them, in'imating that the Weser is considerably
blocked up by floating ice, the beacon ships have left
their stations, Bremerhaven will not he attainable, and,
therefore. navigation down the Weser must not be at.
tempted.

The above-named signals will be 'vest perceived from
the vessels from the points in the compass S. S. E. and

LIEUTENANT WILLIAM M. LYNCH, INDIAN
NAM—lntelligence has been received of the decease of
this distinguished young.officer. A short time previously
to his decease he had descended the Tigris and Euphrates
in the Nimrod steamer, for the purpose of conveying from
Bussorah the officers and men of the expedition. They
had suffered severely from the climate; many were dead,
the survivors incapable of active service. He had the
,atisfaction of rescuing them from their dreadful position;
but his own health was sacrificed in his exertions. On
his return to B.igdad he was oidere.d home for the benefit
of his health. He was son of the late Major H. Blosse
Lynch, of Pastry, county Mayo, and nephew of Colonel
T. 13. Lynch, of Plymouth.—Dublil Evening Past
SOCIETY IN INDIA.—A good deal of th!..
peblic attention has been recently directed towards " In-
dian Officers." What they arc in the field, the history of
our:wars in the East proclaims, very much o their credit,
and we are, now to discover vrh t r they are not
equally capable .o caablisliin as bio hammer ;nthe
profession of r• re; f v.e ob ve that an officer of
high rank in :di; is and forth ns the aullor of

so well, that its publication seems likely effectually to
pat a stop to any such calumnies on the gallant and inter.
ligent class to which the author belongs, which certain
recent events have made public.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 24.—The Governor of Bra-
bant has just communicated to the Magistrates of the Corn

reigners, who have no valid pipers, and are not authorised
to reside in the kingdom, certificates of morality and good,
conduct, by means of which those foreigners are able to
travel in the interior of the kingdom.
