by the Monarchy in 1832 and 1834, when the emeute raged
in the streets. They were employed in clothing the Garde
Mobile, the Republican Guards, the City Sergeants, and to
relieve the wants of the .vorkmen, who had effected the
Revolution. The funds had been honourably and loyally
expended. The journey of the labourers, sent to Belgium
and Savoy, had been paid by the Treasury. Innumerable
foreign workmen, Germans, Belgians, Piedinontese, &c., were
left, i❑ Paris without employment, and the Gov,rnitient had
ordered them back to their countries and paid their travelling
expenses. The Government, he mentioned, had done its
duty.

Creton replied that there had been no loyalty in pro-
claiming in a manifesto that the Government of the Republic
would abstain from all propaganda, and let loose armed hordes
on the neighbouring State,.
M. Goudchaux, Minister of Finance, explained; and after
a few words from M. Gouin, the adjournment of the discus-
sion was pronounced until the Committee of Finance should,
present its report.
The streets of Paris were yesterday again occupied by
the troops. The journals Le Representant du People,
edited by M. PROUDHON, La Vraie Republique, ediced by
M. THERE, Le Lampien, and Le Pere Duchesne have
been suppressed. The editor of the latter journal has
been placed under arn.st.
Another batch of 200 insurgents were last night sent
off to Brest. _

A letter from Lyons, of the 18th instant, states that
General OUDINOT had reviewed, in that city, a portion
of the army of the Alps on the previous day. The
General announced to the troops that from that day
forth they were to receive the war pay. This announce-
ment was received with loud cries of " Long lire the
General."
The Moniteur says—

" On Saturday evening an important arrest took place : a
man, whose name has acquired of late a frightful celebrity,
had expected to escape the vigilance of the police by conceal-
ing himself in Paris. He was bidding for a paletot at a pub.
lic auction on that day, when he was recognised and imme-
diately arrested. He at first denied being the person the
police-officers supposed, but was at last obliged to confess
that he was the Reincourt, appointed Sub-Commissary to
Bolbec after the revolution of February. That man is ac-
cused of having murdered an individual he had himself
chosen, or was given to him, as a secretary, in the discharge
of the functions to which he was called by a deplorable error
The secretary was himself a liberated convict."

FRANCE.

"It is by mistake," says the Debats, " that it has
been stated that M. ANDRIAN, Vice-President of the
Assembly of Frankfort, is coming to Paris on an extra-
ordinary mission to the Republic. M. ANDRIAN is only
to pass through the capital, and proceeds to London.
It is M. FREDERICK DE RAUMER, the eminent historian,
who is charged to convey to GeneralC.tviraxAc the ex.
pression of the sympathies of the Lieut.-General of the
Empire of Germany for the Government of France. If
the mission of M. DE RAUMER should extend to other
questions, and especially to the desire of the Empire to
take part in the negotiations concerning Italy, it would
only be, we are assured, with the well-decided intention
to take a conciliating position as regards Italian liberties,
in case they should be threatened by unjust pretensions."

SWANSEA, Atm. 11.—A discourse on the metallurgical
operations of Swansea and its neighbourhood was deli-
vered by Dr. Percy last night, in the chapel in Park-
street, where the general meetings are held.
The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON, who presided, having
thanked Dr. Percy fur his discourse, called on Dr. Fara-
day and Sir llenry de la Beebe for somo remarks on
the subject, but they offered little more than their thanks
to Dr. Percy for the able manner in which he had treated
the subject.
Before the company dispersed, Professor PHILLIPS
announced that the number of persons who had taken
ti-kts at the present meeting of the Association already
amounted to 760.

At the sections this morning there was an ample
amount of papers to be read, and some of them of con-
siderable interest. In the Mathematical and Physioal
Section, a paper on " the effect on sound of the rapid
motion of the observer," by Mr. J. Scott Russell, pre-
sented some very curious facts.

In the same section Sir David Brewster brought into
notice the singular effect of colours of different refrangi-
bilitics, producing the appearance of difference of dis-
tance on the same plane.

In the Chemical Section, M. Claudet read a paper on
" the action of red, orange, and yellow rays upon iodised
and brotno-iodise(t silver plates after they have been
affected by daylight,", wherein he mentioned many curi-
ous facts connected with photography.
Mr. H. HUNT, at the conclusion of M. Claudet's paper,
stated the results of some investigations on the same sub-
ject, which had led him to the singular conclusion that
light has nothing to do with producing Daguerreotype
)ietures.
Professor GROVE observed that it seemed not impro-
oable light produced very different effects on the visual
organs of different animals, and he conceived that what
is light to the eyes of oue animal might be darkness to
the eyes of another.
The explanation and exhibition of the various appli-
cations of gutta percha occupied considerable time in

1.14- One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
:ornproshig hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
mid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice densaad that health sheald form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
.hose surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little

relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
to above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
,ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post le. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
fervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as be

in the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A sketch, by Mr. Stirling, called The Bould Soger
Boy, was produced here yesterday evening with
average success. It is taken from that part of
Lever's " Charles O'Malley," the leading incident of
which is the mystification of old Colonel Dash wood
by Harry Kildare (such is the name of the hero of
the farce), under the guise of the antiquated, but
still animated, Miss Biddy Maccan ; Mr. Redmond
Ryan, as Harry Kildare, singing a couple of songs—
" The Bould Soger Boy" and" The Widow Malone,
och-hone !"—with good effect. The theme of the
latter song appears to us somewhat too sentimental
for so jocose an affair. Miss Murray looked the part
of Miss Dashwood extremely well; she had nothing
else to do, for the piece is a mere peg on which to
hang Mr. Ryan's liveliness of tongue and toe. There
was a good house.

JAMES V. LYNN.

This case was tried before Mr. Justice Erie at the
last assizes at Liverpool, when a verdict was found for
the plaintiff. It was an issue under the Tithe Commu-
tation Act to try who was entitled to certain tithes.
Mr. KNOWLES moved for a rule, calling upon the
plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should
not be set aside, on the ground of misdirec-
tion, and because the verdict was against the
evidence. The Learned Judge, it appeared amended
some error in the issue. Now, he contended that he
could not amend an issue of this sort, and, if he had,
that that amendment was one relating to a material
matter, and therefore one which, under the statute, he
had no power to make. The misdirection consisted in
the Learned Judge not telling the jury that the issue
was not sustained by the evidence.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

OCT. 29.—CONGRESS OF GERMAN BISHOPS.—The
Congress of the German Bishops which is assembled
in our city is transformed into an actual Provincial
German Synod, both on account of the great number
of prelates and ecclesiastics who are present at it, and
the length of its duration, called for by the important
questions which are debated there. In the prepara-
tory sitting, held on the 22d, the Archbishop of
Cologne was elected president, and the Bishops of

PRUSSIA.

The following is the address to the KING unani-
mously agreed to by the Assembly in the sitting of
Ist Nov., deprecating the appointment of a Branden-
burgh Ministry:—
" Sire,—Having been informed that the Count of
Brandenburgh has been charged with the formation of a
new Ministry, the National Assembly, in its sitting of
this day, resolves to send to your Majesty a deputation
chosen from its body, to represent to your Majesty that
that step has awakened in the people the most lively in-
quietude, and menaces the country with terrible misfor-
tunes. For many weeks your Majesty's faithful people
have been alarmed with rumours of reaction, and the
nomination of the Ministry which has just retired has
not tended to weaken these rumours. A Govern-
ment under the auspices of the Count of
Brandenburgh leaves nothing to hope that it
could obtain the confidence of the majority of the
Assembly, or that of the people, but will increase the
ferment in the public mind to a point that may lead to
events in our country as melancholy as those that have
afflicted a neighbouring state. Your Majesty has not
been truly informed by your Councillors respecting the
real condition of the country if they have not pointed out
to you this danger to the throne and the people. We
address the heart of your Majesty—that heart that has
always felt for the happiness of the people, and press
upon you our respectful prayer, that you will give to
the country a popular Ministry, as a guarantee that the
views of your Majesty are in unison with those of your
people."

- A deputation, as we stated yesterday, was dis-
patched with this address to Potsdam. The KING, in
reply, refused to withdraw the commands which he
had given to Count BIIANDENBURGH to form a
Ministry, but the Count himself, convinced of the
hopelessness of the task which his Sovereign had
forced upon him, declined the mission. When the
resignation of the Count became known, public
tranquillity in Berlin was at once restored. It is
said the KING will now entrust the mission of forming
a new Ministry to M. GRABOW.

The report that General STOCIHAUSEN is to succeed
General Vox PFUEL, Minister of War, as Ministe-
rial President, is confirmed. It is not decided, how-
ever, that General Vox PFUEL will altogether quit
the Cabinet. There are various conjectures .respect-
ing his future position in it.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

WARSAW, OCT. 27.—The assembling of the troops
on the extreme boundaries, and the conscription on the
19th, must be considered as the most remarkable
events of the last week. It is known that it has been
decreed that the dreaded conscription shall take place
in Poland throughout the whole country in one night,
in consequence of which the minds of all men are
filled with horror and dismay, and thousands have
fled ; nor is it confined to one class, but extends to all,
without exception.

The official Courrier Warszawski speaks in its last
number of 6,000 fugitives from the city and environs
of 'Warsaw alone, and it may be conceived how
numerous are the persons who have been compelled to
leave their homes and families in the Russo-Polish
boundary city.

A term of military service of 25 years, the banish-
ment to the most distant part of the country, the
cruel treatment when in such service, which is a
disgrace to human nature—these are the horrors
which intimidate all from entering the Russian
military service.
The cholera has abated considerably, only indivi-
dual cases are spoken of. Two places in the kingdom
of Poland remain exempt from its attacks, namely,
the former government of Kalisch and the Woiwod -
Wielau in the Upper Provinces.
The Servio-Wallachian affairs and the disturbance
in Vienna gave rise to much disquietude and dis-
cussion. _

Very important enterprises are spoken of which
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is disposed to carry
out in its foreign political relations.
ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 24.—The lnvalide Rune
announces that the EmpEnon, by an Imperial ukase,
addressed to the Chapter of Royal and Imperial
Orders, has been pleased to confer the order of St.
George of the South Class upon Lieutenant- General
Count WRATISLAW, Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty
the Emperor of AUSTRIA; also upon Lieutenant-
General Baron D'ASPRE, commander of the second
corps; and Lieutenant-General Von HESSE, Quarter-
master-General of the Austrian army, in testimony of
these distinguished persons' valour at the battles of
Somma Campagna and Costozza.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION,

Laboratory. Royal Polytechnic Institution,
October 21, 184 S.
Sir,—After a careful examlnati,n of your New Gas Burners,
which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known, I
ma compelled to acknowledge that your recent di,covery is superior
to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced
by it.

By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners,
you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air,
both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all tines, steady
and intensely luminous; while even under suddenly increased pres-
sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off.
I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,

JOHN RYAN, M.D., LL.D.,
Professor of Chemistry.

The CORONER said he could not see what good
would arise by examining into family aff.lirs, and,
moreover, the letters had been sent to the parties to
whom they were directed.

Severalother witnesses were examined, who merely
corroborated the main features of the above evidence ;
one, however, stated that his Lordship felt most
acutely the death of Lord George Bentinck, and Said
he had himself a fit of a similar character when in
France.

There being no other witnesses to examine,
The CORONER proceeded to charge the jury. He
went over the evidence in a very careful manner, re-
marking on the most important features. He said
there were three things for the jury to consider—the
first was, did his Lordship wilfully destroy his own
life? He apprehended that there was little doubt on
that point. The next thing they had to decide was
his state of mind. The Learned Gentleman was read-
ing several law cases bearing on the point, when the
reporter was obliged to dispatch his report to catch
the last train ; we are, therefore, unable to give the
verdict until tomorrow.

Others had abstained from voting because the Consti-
tution was not to be submitted to the sanction of the
people, and six members of the Montagne, because
"in voting against the project it might have been
imagined that they rejected certain principles essen-
tially democratic inscribed in it; and that, on the
other hand, by approving it, it would have been on
their part a tacit adhesion to certain institutions they
considered antipathic to the development of demo-

their souls with delight. The Wife's Secret was repro-
duced on the occasion, and was pert;maned in the
usual style of excellence which hts distinguished
these favourite actors. Nor was the applause eon-
fined to them ; the careful portraiture of the crafty
steward found in Mr. Webster's personation of Jabez
Sneed a masterly representation ; while the pert
vivacity and sly humour of Mrs. Keeley exhibited
the equivocal character of Maud to perfection.
The old and pernicious " star" system is henceforth to
be wholly discountenanced at the Haymarket, and
Mr. and Mrs. Kean have willingly, and we think very
creditably to themselves, co-operate d with Mr. Web-
ster in abating the nuisance. The practice hitherto
neither answered the vanity nor contributed per-
manently to the avarice of the actor, while it cripp!ed
the best energies of the most liberal managers ; and in
that lix lit Mr. Webster may be truly ranked as one
of the first, if he be not the very first, who hai sup-
ported the legitimate drama for many years past.
Such disinterested devotion to the national drama
ought, and no doubt will, procure fi,r the talented
lessee of the Haymarket that public support which
his genuine English spirit so eminently merits. We
cordially wish him success. Mr. and Mrs. Kean are
now to he regular members of the company, and the
successes which they gain will give a permanent
lustre to the establishment. According to the bills
;hey will act four times a week. Sir E. B. Lytton's
Money is announced for to-morrow, and on Saturday
Mrs. Kean will play Viola in Twelfth Night for !he
first time since many years, and will also act in the
favourite drama of the Ransom. I

STANDARD THEATRE.

A new nautical drams, in which Mr. John
Douglas sustained the character of the hero most
efficiently, was produced here last night under
the title of The Son of the Wave, or the Boatswain's
Whistle. It is a stirring, bustling affair, mull of
incidents and hair-breadth escapes, and terrific com-
tats and furious storms, and the last, which repre-
sents the destruction of a pirate ship by fire, is one of
the most superb novel scenic effects ever attempted.
The whole of the stage is occupied by an immense
vessel, rolling on the billows, the deck being nearly
enveloped in flames, while the crew are seen clinging
to the rigging of the burning vessel. This secured
the success of the piece. The applause at the fall of
the curtain was enthusiastic, and the Son of the Wave
will no doubt have a long and prosperous voyage.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

WARSAW, OCT. 27.—The assembling of the troops
on the extreme boundaries, and the conscription on the
19th, must be considered as the most remarkable
events of the last week. It is known that it has been
decreed that the dreaded conscription shall take placQ
in Poland throughout the whole country in one night,
in consequence of which the minds of all men are
filled with horror and dismay, and thousands have
fled ; nor is it confined to one class, but extends to all,
without exception.

The official Courrier TVarszawski speaks in its last
number of 6,000 fugitives from the city and environs
of Warsaw alone, and it may be conceived how
numerous are the persons who have been compelled to
leave their homes and families in the Russo-Polish
boundary city.

A term of military service of 25 years, the banish-
ment to the most distant part of the country, the
cruel treatment when in such service, which is a
disgrace to human nature—these are the horrors
which intimidate all from entering the Russian
military service.

The cholera has abated considerably, only indivi-
dual cases are spoken of. Two places in the kingdom
of Poland remain exempt from its attacks, namely,
the former government of Kalisch and the Woiwod•
\Yielau in the Upper Provinces.

The Servio-Wallachian affairs and the disturbance
.n Vienna gave rise to much disquietude and dis-

cussion.

Very important enterprises are spoken of which
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is disposed to carry
out in its foreign political relations.
ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. 24.—The lnvalide Russe
announces that the EMPEROR, by an Imperial ukase,
addressed to the Chapter of Royal and Imperial
Orders, has been pleased to confer the order of St.
George of the South Class upon Lieutenant- General
Count WRATISLAW, Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty
the Emperor of AUSTRIA; also upon Lieutenant-
General Baron D'ASPRE, commander of the second
corps; and Lieutenant• General VON HESSE, Quarter-
master General of the Austrian army, in testimony of
these distinguished persons' valour at the battles of
Somma Campagna and Costozza.

STRAND THEATRE.

Last evening a petite drama called Jeannette and
Jeannot, by Stirling, was produced at this little
theatre for the first time, and was perfectly successful.
The principal incidents of this amusing trifle are taken
from the very popular ballad of the same name, and
although they are not rendered quite so effective as
they might have been, on the whole form a very
amusing entertainment. Miss R. Isaacs, as Jeannette,
gave the ballad so very prettily that it was unani-
mously re-demanded. Webb, as Jeannot, was quite
at home in the character, and acquitted himself with
his usual ability. There are many very pretty musi-
cal efforts scattered throughout the piece that tell ex-
cellently ; among them a new ballad, sung with so
much taste by Miss Isaacs, that it was honoured by
an encore. The other characters were respectably
filled, and when the prompter's office becomes more
of a sinecure, this dramatic trifle will become very
attractive. The British Legion followed, in which
Mrs. H. Webb appeared in the character of Susan to
great advantage; and Henri Quatre, in which we had
some very excellent singing by Miss R. Isaacs and Mr.
Manley, concluded the evening's entertainments.
The house was respectably filled.

LAMBETH.

WHOLESALE FRAUD.—Yesterday Wm. Griffin alias
Barker, a well dressed young fellow, was further ex-
amined before Mr. Elliott, on various charges of swind-
ling, and also on a charge of forgery.
On the former examination it appeared that the pri-
smer had obtained from an oil and colourman in Gib-
son-street, Lambeth, a cask of colouring to the amount
of 171., by giving a false reference; and, in addition to
this, Mr. Francis, a house-agent in Mile-end, deposed
that the prisoner had obtained possession of a house and
premises near Beaumont-square, by actually giving re-
ference to himself. When arranging for the premises he
gave the name of Barker, and gave a reference to Mr.
William Griffin, so that on his (Mr. Francis) writing to
a different person, as he supposed, he actually received
a letter in the prisoner's own handwriting, giving him-
self a high charact,:r.—(Laughter.) Not suspecting the
trick, he gave him possession of the house and pre-
mises, but before the quarter's rent became due he dis-
appeared, and the next thing he heard of him was a
proposition, on his part, to dispose of the key and some
fixtures on the premises (which he had sot put up or
p lid for) at a moderate sum.
Mr. Barnard, an artists' colourman, in Oxford street,
said he had let the prisoner have goods to the amount
of 71., on his representing that he was an artist by pro-
fession, and wanted them for the use of his pupils. He
person named Turner,
had also given a reference to a

PRUSSIA.

The following is the address to the KING unani-
mously agreed to by the Assembly in the sitting of
Ist Nov., deprecating the appointment of a Branden-
burgh Ministry :
" Sire,—Having been informed that the Count of
Brandenburgh has been charged with the formation of a
new Ministry, the National Assembly, in its sitting of
this day, resolves to send to your Majesty a deputation
chosen from its body, to represent to your Majesty that
that step has awakened in the people the most lively in-
quietude, and menaces the country with terrible m•sfor-
tunes. For many weeks your Majesty's le.ithful people
have been alarmed with rumours of reaction, and the
nomination of the Ministry which has just retired has
not tended to weaken these rumours. A Govern-
ment under the auspices of the Count of
Brandenburgh leaves nothing to hope that it
could obtain the confidence of the majority of the
Assembly, or that of the people, but will increase the
ferment in the public mind to a point that may lead to
events in our country as melancholy as those that have
affixted a neighbouring state. Your Majt sty has not
been truly informed by your Councillors respecting' the
real condition of the country if they have not pointed out
to you this danger to the throne and the people. We
address the heart of your Majesty—that heart that has
always felt for the happiness of the people, and press
upon you our respectful prayer, that you will give to
the country a popular Ministry, as a guarantee that the
views of your Majesty are in unison with those of your
people."

- A deputation, as we stated yesterday, was dis-
patched with this address to Potsdam. The KING, in
reply, refused to withdraw the commands which he
had given to Count BRANDENEURGH to form a
Ministry, but the Count himself, convinced of the
hopelessness of the task which his Sovereign hid
forced upon him, declined the mission. When the
resignation of the Count became known, pubflc
tranquillity in Berlin was at once restored. It is
said the KING will now entrust the mission of forming
a new Ministry to M. GRADOW.
The report that General STOCKHAUSEN is to succeed
General Von PFUEL, Minister of War, as Ministe-
rial President, is confirmed. It is not decided, how-
ever, that General VON PFUEL will altogether quit
the Cabinet. There are various conjectures respect-
ing his future position in it.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

A pleasing one act comic drama, entitled Which
is the King; was produced here last night with
complete success. Henry the Fourth of France (that
invaluable monarch for Vaudevillists) is the hero.
His Majesty, who is wandering about the country,
disguised as a minstrel, found an excellent representa-
tive in Miss Villars, whose minstrel costume became
her exceedingly. Of course the King is mistaken
by some young lady for her lover, who was to come
in a somewhat similar disguise—of course
the poor young man is hated by her
father, who desires her to marry some one
else, and of course the King interferes, and
" makes two lovers happy." These materials are
common-place enough, but they are well put toge-
ther, thanks to the really excellent acting of all
Parties concerned in its production, this amusing
trifle was quite successful. Mr. T. P. Cooke is re-
engaged at this theatre, and continues to attract
crowded houses.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION,

Laboratory. lteyal Polytechnic Institution,
October 21, 1848.

Str,—After a caroftil examlnati ‘n of your New Gas Burners,
which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known, I
am compelled to acknowledge that your recent di'covery is superior
to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced
by it.

By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners,
you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air,
both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all times, steady
and intensely luminous ; while even under suddenly increased pres-
sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off.
I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,
JOHN RYAN, M.D., LL.D.,
Professor of Chemistry.

Helsingfors, June 26.
By order of the Chancery of the Ithpector of Pilots
and Lighthouses.
Upon the largest of the islands which form the group
Of Norrskaret, lat. 63 deg. 13 min. 45 sec. N., long. 38
deg. 47 min. 15 sec. E. of Ferroe, at the entrance of the
south point of the Northern Kvarken, in the Gulf of
Bothnia, an octagonal plain brick lighthouse has been
erected with a wooden lantern, in which has been placed
an apparatus of revolving reflectors; showing flashes of
light eclipsed at intervals of a minute. Each flash will
last from five to ten seconds, but close to the lighthouse
the light will be visible for a quarter of a minute, and
in such a manner that the eclipse will not be perceived,
but only an increasing or decreasing light, while at a
greater distance the total darkness will last nearly 40
seconds. The elevation of the lighthouse from the focn•
dation to the lantern is G 4 Swedish feet, and the height
of the lantern is 107 Swedish feet above the level of the
sea at the usual height of the water during summer.
The light will be visible from a vessel's deck at the dis-
tance of four German or fifteen to sixteen English miles.
T&e lighthouse, which is principally intended for the
navigation of the Northern Kvarken, will also indicate
the course to be followed at the entrance from the sea
into the port of Brendyesk, near the town of \Vasa.
Ships, however, should not approach it within half an
English mile.

Ilelsingrors, July 3.
By order of the Chancery of the Inspector of Pilots
and Lighthouses.
In addition to the notice dated the 26th of June last,
published in the official Gazette of Finland of July 1,
respecting the erection of 'a new lighthouse with a re-
volving light upon the Norrskeret at the entrance of the
southern point of Northern Kvarken, in the Gulf of
Bothnia, mariners are informed that this light will be
exhibited for the first time on the Ist (13th) of July, and
that the lighting of the other lights erected in this coun-
try will take place on the same day during the last half
of the present year. Afterwards the Norrskaret light
will continue to be exhibited during the same periods as
the other lights.
