" Port of Leghorn.
" Navigators are hereby informed, that on and after the
15th December, 1841, the illuminations of the lighithouse
of this port, situated in 43 deg. 32 min. 41 sec. N. lat.,
and 7 deg. 57 min. 25 sec. E. lon., will be effected through
the medium of an anticular apparatus of the second order
of eclipses, which will present an alternate succession Of
ti bite and red lights at interva's of 40 seconds. The ele-
vation of this light is 47 metres (rather more than 150
feet) from the level of the sea. In clear weather it will
be visible at a distance of seven marine leagues. The
less brilliant fixed light between the revolutions of the
lamps will be distinguishable at three and a half marine
leagues, and the eclipses will only be total beyond that
distance,"

SIR—I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to trans-
mit to you, for the information of the Committee of
Lloyd's, the copy of a despatch from her Majesty's
Consul at Stockholm, announcing that the barque
" Clarence, of Hull," has been abandoned by her crew,
and taken possession of by the British Vice-Consul, at
Wisby.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient humble
servant. (Signed) CANNING.
The Secretary to the Committee of Lloyd's.
" British Consulate, Stockholm, Oct. 3, 1841.
MY LORD—By a letter from Vice-Consul Enequist,
dated at Wisby, September 25th, 1841, I am informed
that the barque " Clarence, of Hull," in ballast, has been
found by the fishermen of Kalhatninarswick, in Goth-
land, abandoned by her crew, and in a sinking state,
but hopes were entertained of getting the vessel into the
harbour. It is probable she has run foul of another
ship, as her bowsprit is carried away and her head much
damaged. The crew appear to have left the ship with
all their clothes, as none were found on board, nor any
document excepting an open letter, addressed Captain
Brown,' from David Brown, dated February 10, 1841.
The vessel has been taken possession of by the Vice-
Consul.—l am, &c.

"JOHN IiOSS, Capt., IL N., ITer 'Majesty's Consul."

BRIGHTON, OCT. 24.—At half-past six o'clock
this morninc, a French chasse fierce was discovered,
about a mile from the coast, with a signal of distress
flying half-mast high. The coast-guard were immediately
on the alert, and Captain Manba s mortar apparatus for
communication with stranded vessels was made ready for
use, in the event of the vessel making a nearer approach
to,the shore. She shortly afterwards, however, borQ up
and made out to sea. Later in the morning a fisherman
was discovered by one of the coast-guard with a tub of
spirits in his hand, which he then stated he was in the
act of carrying to the Custom-house. The coast-guard,,
however, in obedience to his instructions, to take into
custody any person who may be seen on the coast touch-
ing contraband goods, apprehended the fisherman, who
will undergo on examination to-morrow morning before
the local Magistrates, on a charge of smuggling. The
appearance of the chasse maree is considered by some to
have a connexion with the finding of the tub.
