seaward, in clear weather, at a distance of fifteen miles,
the light being of the first order, and at an elevation of
84 feet above the level of high-water spring tides.
There is also seen from the same tower at night,
underneath the principal light, from half flood to half
ebb, a tidal light of a red colour, which is visible to the
eye within the limits of four miles, but beyond that dis •
tance it blends with the main light, rendering it indis-
tinct. During the day, at half flood, a red ball is hoisted
to the top of the mast on the tower, where it remains
until half ebb.
The stationary red light on the pier head of the old
harbour is shown as heretofore and there are two red
lights on the quay wall of the inner harbour, which are
seen in one from the bar, for the guidance of vessels
entering.
The fixed green light on the north pier head of the
west harbour is exhibited from sunset to sunrise, and the
two red lights seen in one, bearing N.W.
course into the harbour.
SAILING DIRECTIONS.--Vessels bound to the port in
gales of wind from N. or N.E., when pilots cannot be
obtained, should attend strictly to the following:—
A large buoy is situated off the southern extremity of
the Heugh, known as the " Buoy of the Stone," moored
in twenty-two feet low water of spring tides, and which
-41- N., direct the
has an iron wicker ball and staff. The Ileugh light
bearing therefrom by compass N. one-third E., distant
one-third of a mile; the red light on the pier head of the
old harbour, N.W. W.,
four-tenths of a mile; and the
green light on the north pier head of the west harbour,
W. by N. N., eight-tenths of a mile.
Before bearing away, let the tide be flowed to about
last quarter flood, carrying a small canvass on the vessel,
particularly (if possible) her after sails. Pass close to the
buoy above described, leaving it on the starboard hand;
if bound for the old harbour, the course will be N.W. by
W. i W., with the pier light about one point open on the
starboard bow, when the beacon, coloured black, with a
wicker ball and vane, is visible on the seine hand—nearly
right ahead is another black buoy, with,ball and staff, for
which steer till the pier light just opens to the westward
of the beacon—a mid-channel course between this and
the black buoy with the ball, will lead to where a pilot
can board the vessel. At this time the two red lights on
the quay wall will be seen in one, N. by W., which leads
A moveable staff, carrying

a flag, is attached to the
light-houso on the pier, which,
in cases when found
necessary, will be inclined at either hand to which it is
requisite for the vessel to be steered, and will be kept
i
perpendicular when the courses right. In cases of
danger a black ball (only) will be exhibited at the top oP
the staff.

For ships bound to the West Harbour, the course from
the buoy of the Stone to the Fairway red buoy is west, a
little more than half a mile, leaving a chequered red and
white buoy on the starboard hand, then from the Fair-
way buoy, N.W. N., with the two red lights in one,
leaving the black buoys on the starboard, and the white
buoys on the port hand.
A moveable flagstaff is placed on the south pier, for
exhibiting similar signals as at the Old Harbour.
If at any time the buoy at the Stone should have gone
adrift, or is not able to be made out when rounding the
Heugh, the tall chimney of the foundry at Middleton,
bearing N.W. in a line with the pier light of the Old
Harbour, will clear the danger; and no vessel, if pos-
-1 sible, with the wind N. or N.E., ought to pass further to
the southward than these marks describe.
On entering the bay from the southward and eastward,
the Longsear Ridge is to be avoided by noticing off the
eastern extremity a largo plain black buoy, moored in
22 feet low water of spring tides, the Heugh light bear-
ing therefrom by compass N. E., distant a little more
than one mile.
Seaton High or Tees Upper Light bears W. I S., open
to the north of Carr House, the pier light at the Old
Harbour N. by W. i W., and the West Harbour pier
light N.W. N.; the buoy having been cleared, either
harbour may be taken by the instructions that have been
given.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of English Grain, as well as
Flour, for our market, last week, coastwise, as well as
by land carriage and sample, were on a very limited
scale. Those from Ireland and Scotland were trifling
in the extreme. The imports from abroad consisted of
4,705 quarters of Wheat ; 5,773 quarters of Barley ;
4,872 quarters of Oats ; 660 quarters of Beans ; 164
quarters of Peas ; 210 quarters of Tares ; 644 quarters
of Linseed ; 198 quarters of Rapeseed ; 125 quarters of
sundry Seeds; and 300 barrels of Flour. Fresh up, to
day, from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, as well as from
all other quarters, the receipts of English Wheat were
unusually small, but of excellent quality. As the show of
samples was trifling in the extreme, and the atb.ndanco of
Town and country buyers (most of whom were short of
stock) was good, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce was steady, at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this day
se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected.
There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for the
best parcels of fine Foreign Wheat, at very full prices.
In the middling and inferior kinds—the supply of which
was tolerably
extensive— a moderate business was
doing at late rates. The quantity of Barley brought
forward was very limited; hence all descriptions moved
off steadily, and late currencies were well supported.
Scarcely any Malt was on show. Parcels on the spot,
as well as for forward delivery, were firm, but without
any improvement in value. From all parts the fresh
arrival of Oats was small. Most kinds were held at 1 s
per quarter more money, but the firmness of the holders
somewhat checked sales, as it is generally expected the
blockade of the Elbe will be raised in a few days, and
that, consequently, the grain vessels will be cleared for
England. Dealers purchased cautiously, at, in some in-
stances, 6d per quarter more money. The sale for Beans
was somewhat firm, but we can notice no alteration in
the currencies. Peas, especially grey and maple, were
very firm, and the turn higher. The show of samples
was trifling. Indian Corn and Meal without animation.
In Flour exceedingly little was doing, at last Monday's
prices.
