Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the Danish
Government has caused a lighthouse to be erected at
Fornees, the utmost point of the headland extending from
tbc east coast of Jutland, in the Cattegat. It is built in
the form of a quadrangular tower, having a dwelling-
house, with a root of red tiles, annexed to it. The build-
ings arc covered with white plastering, so as also to
afford a good sea-mark by daytime. It is situate about
two and a half English miles N. E. half E. by compass
from the entrance of Grenae Haven, and distant shout
thirty miles W. S. W. from Anholt Lighthouse. The
light is placed at an elevation of sixty-seven feet above
the water's edge, and it is perceptible at a distance of
about thirteen miles.
It consists of six lanterns, with reverberators revolving
in three minutes, and exhibiting each half-minute a strong
light for rbout s x seconds, which disappears again for
twenty-four seconds before it again returns. It is to be
lit for the first time in the course of December, and will
continue to burn between Easter and Michaelmas from one
hour, and between Michaelmas and Easter from half an
hour, after sunset to sunrise.
I have, &c.,

Some noise is making in the fashionable world
just now by the fact of a Russ'an nobleman having be•
stowed very striking proofs of his attachment upon a
lady of high connection. Similar marks of affection
have been long in vogue in Russia, though not quite in
bon lon in Paris or London ; for our readers will recol-
lect that Catherine 11. expressed strong doubts of the
of Prince Potemkin's attachment towards her,
soirtehritegyround that he had neviir given her a beating !
