NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Crunstadt, Nov. 22, 1849.

Sir,—We deem it necessary to draw the attention of
the committee to the accompanying translations of two
psragraphs that appeared in the St. Petersburgh papers,
One published in 1841, and the other on the 12:h inst.
By the former it app2art d to have been the intention
of the Russian Government to rebuild the old wooden
lighthouse on Vielsand (Filsant), and by the latter that
such has not been the case, and that there will be only
one on that island instead of two, uni that the present
one is a revolviog light.
(Signed) JOHN BOOKER and SON,
Agents to Lloyd's.
Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's.
Extract from the St. Petersburgh Papers, 1841:

. _
" The Russi in Government, finding that the wooden
lighthouse on the Island of Vielsand is in a dilapidated
state, has elteided upon building a new one on the same
Spot during 1841; and until it is finished, the fixed light
on the rtone lighthouse will be changed to a revolving
light, which will show two minutes, and be dark one
Minute. _

"This alteration will enable the masters of ships
better to distinguish this light from those on the Island
of Dago and on Svalfersort."
Extract from the Journal de St. Petersburg, of
Nov. 12,1849, No. 968 :
" NOTICE.—INPORTANT TO NAVIGATORS.—In the
month of February, 1841, an advertisement appeared in
the St. Petersburgh papers, stating that of the two Light
Houses existing on the Island of Vielsand (Filsant) in
the Baltic, the wooden olie was taken down in conse•
Suence of its being in a dilapidated state, and that
instiad of the two fixed lights formerly placed on Vit
1-
•and, there will only be one revolving light on the att ne
light-house, which will show a light two minutes and be
dark one minute.
"Whereas many of the charts with which merchant
vessels are supplied continue to indicate that there are
two light houses on the Island of Vielsand, the Hydro-
graphic Department of the Minister of Marine consider
it necessary to draw the attention of navigators to the
fact that there is only one light house on this island, and
that'is the stone one, and that the wooden one formerly
situated seventy fathoms to the north of the former, was
Pulled down in 1841, and must, therefore, be erased from
the marine charts.
