Information to llfaskrs of Vessels trading to Philadelph. a
(Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Philadelp.As,
dated March 20.)
" The risk of coming into our pert would be much lessened
If Captains of vessels would show a signal for a pilot as soon a;
they see the light-house. The Chamber of Commerce and In-
surance Offices have established repeating signals at the Light-
house, upon seeirg the pilots could always meet the
vessels at the L'ght..house; whereas, at present they frequently
only show their signal when abreast of the Light-house, and
then must lie to, always with delay, and sometimes with danger,
Our pilots are generally cruising, but when they are not, this
caution is of importance. Our Surveyor of the Port his re-
ceived his orders to contract for a Light-house at Cape May."
