BERMUDA LIGHT.

On the Ist of May last, a revolving light was established
on the southern part of the island of Bermuda, in lat. 32
min. 14 deg. north, and loag. 64 min. 51 deg. west. Every
minute it brightens up in a strong glare, which continues for
six or eight seconds, and which being 365 feet above the
level of the sea, is visible at the distance of seven or eight
leagues, and from all round the horizon, except between the
bearings of N. 64 deg. E. to N. 74 deg. E., where it will be
intercepted by high land. Within the distance of seven
miles a faint but prominent light may be seen between the
brilliant flashes. At night, or in thick weather, it is not
advisable to make Bermuda to the northward of 38 deg.
8 min. north lat., until the light of the land is seen. In
coming from the westward, the light should not be ap-
proached nearer than twelve miles, unless brought to bear to
the northward of N.E. by E. A vessel making the light to
the southward should haul off immediately, as reefs extend
from it to a distance of sixteen miles to the northward.

Considerable stir has been created by the announce-
ment that the Rev. John George Wenham, 8.A., demy of
Magdalen College, Oxford, has become a Roman Catholic.
Mr. Wenham was taken out last year by Dr. Chapman, the
first Protestant Bishop of Columbo, in order to superintend
clerical education in the diocese, and to act as the Bishop's
examining chaplain. It is feared that this secession will pre-
vent the appointment of further Colonial Bishops, who for
the most part have been taken from the high-church party.

The prospects of the wheat harvests are everywhere
most promising, and reaping has commenced in somee dis-
tricts of this county. American flour is now offered in this
market at about ss. per sack below the current price of Eng-
lish, and is considered equal in quality to our own growth.—
