" W. A. B. HAMILTON.
" Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's."
" Extract from a letter from her Majesty's Consul a
Elsinore.

" Elsinore, Nov. 23, 1848.
" I have the honour to inform your Lordship that, ac-
cording to a decision recently come to by the Danish
Government, the lightship in the Grounds (Drogheden)
will remain at her station until the 31st (instead of the
21st) of December in each year, whenever the state of
the ice shall not render it necessary fur her to seek a
harbour of safety at an earlier period.
" The same concession, however, has not been granted
with reference to the other Danish floating lights, which
it is expressly ordained shall be removed as heretofore on
the 21st of l )ecember."
NEW LIGHTHOUSE AT DARSZER-ORT.
Royal Prussian General Consulate,
106, Fenchurch-street, London, Dec. 15.
" Sir,—l beg leave to transmit you my translation of a
notice issued by his Prussian Majesty's Government at
Stralsund, concerning a new lighthouse at Darszer-Ort,
on the promontory of Darz, and I shall feel obliged by
your giving publicity thereto for the benefit of mariners
frequenting that part of the Baltic.
" B. HEBELER, Prussian Consul-General.
" Capt. G. A. Halsted, RN., Secretary, Lloyd's."
" At Darszer-Ort, in the Peninsula of Darsz, a light-
house, with two lights, has been erected, which will
burn throughout the whole year, to begin on the Ist of
January, 1849. Both lights will be lighted every day at
sunset and extinguished at sunrise.

" The first light is 105 Prussian feet above the level
of the sea, and consists in Fresnel's apparatus of lenses
of the second order of rotatory light, with darkness per
minute. The upper and lower part of the star remain
i❑ sight during the darkness, in order that navigators
may not lose their direction while it prevails. It is,
therefore, only the centre of that star which is subjected
to the darkness. The light illumines the entire horizon,
and serves the navigators who lose sight of the light of
Arcona in the east, on approaching the shore, clearly to
mark the promontory point of Darezer-Ort.
" The second is a fixed light, 40 Prussian feet above
the level of the sea, and is formed by three argand
lamps, with reverberatory reflectors. This light, in
connexion with the Gyedser light on the Danish coast of
Falster, marks the passage between the sandbanks near
Darszer Ort and the rocky reef Trendelen, and lights
an angle of 40 deg. from W. N. to N.W. by compass.
"Darszer-Ort, where the lighthouse is erected, is
situate in lat. 54 29 N., long. 12 31 E., from Greenwich.
" This lighthouse is situated at a distance of 57 rods,
or 114 fathoms, from the sea, the tower being 100 feet
high, built of red brick and not plastered, on which the
lantern is placed, and serves also for a landmark.
" Stralsund, Nov. 16, 1848."
QUARANTINE NOTICES.
" Cagliari, Dec. 8.
"Sir,—ln consequence of the existence of cholera
morbus in England and Scotland, departures from Lon-
don and Hull since the Ist of October are to be subjected
to a quarantine of 15 days for the vessel, and 21 days for
the cargo in the lazaretto; all other places in Great
Britain and Ireland, up to the 9th of October, to eight
days of observation, after which to be subjected to the
same quarantine as London and Hull.

" W. S. CRAIG, LL yd's Agent.
" Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's."
" Lloyd's Agency, Terceira, Dec. 8,1848.
"Sir,—Referring to my letter of the 22d inst., I have
to report that I have on this date been officially inti-
mated by the Health Department that, in pursuance of
instructions received from the Government at Lisbon, no
vessels proceeding from the ports of England, Scotland,
Ireland, and the Channel Islands, will be admitted to
pratique unless they shall have performed quarantine,
and be properly fumigated at either of the accredited
lazarettos of Brest, Vigo, Genoa, Marseilles, Port Ma-
hon, and Malta ; end further, that this measure extends
to all vessels coming by the way of the islands of this
archipelago, so that a vessel from England, calling at St.
Michael's and performing quarantine there, and after-
wards provided with a clean bill of health, even so will
not be admitted to pratique at this port, as the instruc-
tions state that the ports of Sunderland, Newhaven,
Leith, and London are declared as infected with Asiatic
cholera, and all the others of England, Scotland, Ire-
land, and the Channel Islands as suspected ones.

greater attention ; 150 bags Honduras at public sale
were all sold—ordinary and middling silvers 3s 10d to
4s, good and fine 4s id to 4s 6d, black, fine, and good,
5s ld to 5s 6d ; and 48 bags Mexican—good silvers
3s 9d to 3s 10d per lb. These rates are id to 2d per lb.
above those current on this day week for low and
middling silversall other kinds realising fully former
prices.

SPICES.—There is 'a better supply of Nutmegs.at a
decline of 2d per lb. At public sale 32 cases found
buyers; fine went at 3s 3d to 346 d, good 2s 10d to.3s 2d,
middling 2s 5d to 2s 9d, small 2s 3d to 2s 4d, mouldy

of 28 packages was disposed of ; fine bold at 2s Bd,
good 2s 5d to 2s 6d; 6 bags in the shell went at is 3d.
For Mace full rates are obtained, and there is a good
demand. At auction 38 cases were nearly all sold,
ord at is 10d, mid is lld to 2s ld, good 2s 6d, blood
red slightly mouldy 1s lld to 2s, mouldy is Bd.
Of Pimento the supply is getting larger, and as there
is not much demand prices have suffered a further
depression of 0 per lb. At auction a part only of 384
bags found buyers; good quality at 4d to 4jd,
and damaged 3d per lb. There is much dulness in the
market for Ginger. Jamaica is quoted at from 21 to 61
10s, fine 71 to 101, African 28s to 30s, Barbadoes 28s to
295, East India home trade kind 80s to 905, and shipping
sort 23s to 255. For Cinnamon there are few buyers,
and prices are looking down for most sorts. For Cassia
Lignea prices are still uncertain, as there is none
here, but a large parcel is near at hand. 125 bags
of Bourbon Cloves sold at 6d to 7d for middling
and good, and ordinary 6d; 1,524 bags Malabar Ginger
255, damaged 17s to 20s 6d. Black Pepper has met with

OlLs.—Although Palm can be obtained at a further
reduction still buyers do business with caution, and fine
is nut more than 31s per cwt. At public sale 99 casks
%ere sold at from 25s 6d to 28s 9d for low to mid.

Cocoa Nut is yet little wanted, and further parcels have
c, me to hand. Rapeseed is in good demand, and at
firm rates; pale selling at 36s to 36s 6d, brown 35a 6d
to 365, and pale Foreign at 37s to 38s. Linseed is held
with firmness, and home buyers have made purchases
to a fair extent. Olive finds a more ready sale, still
better rates are not to be obtained, as further arrivals
are near at hand. Lard Oil is in fair demand at 46s
to 48s for exportation, and American 42s to 445.
Ground Nut is worth 325, and there are few buyers.
There is no improvement to record in the position of
business in Common Fish Oils, although imports have
been light for several days past, and home trade deli-
veries upon a fair scale. For Sperm the market has still
a firm aspect, and a good demand exists. Fine Colonial
realises 841 to 851 per tun.
TALLOW.—A further decline is visible in the value
of Russian on the spot, and the amount of business con-
cluded has been small for all purposes. The
rates accepted are 43s 61 to 43s 9d for fine P.Y.
Candle. For the early part of next year few buyers
are met with, and sellers are willing to accept
43s 3d. noire made is cheaper, and is offered at
44s net cash, yet little business has been concluded, and
the.• supply is plentiful. Other sorts of Tallow met with

ttla attention, and are depressed in value. At auction
012 packages of South American were sold at 39s 3d

to 425; better sort 42s 6d to 43s 6d; 294 ditto of Ne

cwt. Ft.r public sale the quantity declared is 800 pkgs.
Rough Fat is readily offered at 2,, 61 per cwt.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

IPSWICH, DEC. 19.

Our wheat market was in a very heavy state to-day.
Millers not inclined to purchase without a reduction of
2s per quarter. Malting barley scarcely so good in
value as the past week; other qualities cheaper. Oats
steady. Beans and peas is to 23 lower. Late prices for
malt are barely maintained. Flour looking downward in
price.

HULL, EC. 19.
Messrs. Taylor and Brights' circular states that the bu-
siness in every article of the trade has been most limited
during the past week, and in every respect unsatisfac-
tory. To-day's market was met by a large supply of
home grown wheat, the bulk in bad condition; farmers
were rather anxious sellers, and this, added to a previous
disinclination to buy on the part of millers, made the
trade very heavy, and 2sjto 3s less had to be submitted to
where sales were effected for the damp wheats—good
wheat was barely lower. More inquiry for good foreign
wheat, bet at low prices; the bulk of our stock being
chambered, is virtually withdrawn for the present. In-
ferior wheats are almost unsaleable, though offered on
very low terms. Barley remains very dull, and low
prices are taken for both malting and grinding qualities;
a good deal of Saal is going to granary. Beans, though
offered low, are a drug unless quite hard and dry.
The bulk of our supply is new foreign, generally soft in
quality. Nothing doing in either oats or any kind of
peas. Linseed and linseed cakes unaltered in value.
Rapeseed more inquired for, but cakes difficult to sell.
Good bones are fair sale.

duties this week. The arriva!s from Ireland and coast-
wise during the past we;•lc, were very limited; from
Canada there wile good suprlies of pc as and flour; and

per 701 b, and flour 6d per barrel and Is per sack. Oats,
being scarce, supported previous rates; but oatmeal was
