ARRIVAL OF THE DEE, IN ''.ST INDIA STEAMER.

West India steamer, at Southamridton, at an early hour this
morning.
UNIVERSAL CODE OF SIG ri\TALS ON THE COAST
FOR THE GUIDANCE OF \ rIESSELS IN DISTRESS.
A resident at Boscastle has at lc tressed a, letter to Lloyd's
i.e.,. LI o.Aux,, f t},. •mu u""""11 code of Signals
on the coast of England for LI te guidance of vessels in
distress, and refers to the loss >f the William and Ann, of
North Shields, at Mellook, ix Bu .d e Bay, on the 20th ult., as
one instance out of many that , k ad come under his notice,
where the want of a recognised 33 e item had misled the vessel
to destruction and severe loss n life. Mr. Langford, the
writer referred to, inquires " wb a .ther some uniform signal
could not be devised whereby v, st sels in distress and dis-
abled on a lee shore might and a rstand whether the place
where such signal is exhibited-, is a place where lives
could be saved, or a placer to be avoided." In
the instance of the William and 414 in, she was running for
Crackington Haven, but upon a . fire being lighted on the
beach, she hauled her wind ; anoil er fire, made a few miles
to the eastward, with the same rams ult; the crew, consider-
ing the fires a signal to keep off, nd she, in consequence,
went on shore soon after; mas 4 er and six of the crew
drowned, two only saved. The an ite stated, that in the
North of England, a fire is understoi id as a beacon to keep
off, but a flag, or colour of some sort,, as a place to run for.
The loss of the vessel, therefore, is , ascribable to the mis-
interpetration of the signals used ta I the occasion, and the
directly opposite meaning of the semi signals upon two parts
of the English coast. It is remarksi ble, however, that a tire
should have been lighted in the day time, when the vessel
was in a direct course for a safe harps Jur.
The want of an efficient and uf 33 form code of signals in
cases of a similar kind has long b; .!en felt, and the danger
attending the present variety of pla n s calls for reform.
The Committee of Lloyd's, so f. a r back as 1821, had the
subject under their notice, so far as r. espects vessels, and they
recommended, by public notice, t, h. at all vessels should be
supplied with rockets and blue lights). ; and, in case of distress,
to fire a rocket in the first instant and then burn blue
lights until relieved. The Committ ex of the Shipowners' So-
ciety, in concurrence with Lloyd's, its tried a notice, recom-
mending, in the strongest manner, that vessels should be
provided with a dozen rockets and t 132 ee dozenblue lights, to
be used in the manner before noticed,.
The establishment of an universal a de of distress sign al
for the coast appears to rest with theA ~oast Guard Service.
PORTUGUESE QUARANTINI REGULATIONS.
Portuguese ' Consulate-General,
5, Jeffery's-vie are, Jan. 19th, 1846.
Sir,—l beg to acquaint you, fin the information and
guidance of merchants, captains, I Cc., in general, that I
have this day received a communica ti on from her Most Faith-
ful Majesty's Government, dated V., 'sbon, 9th ins' ant, ad-
vising me that a malignant and ego ntagious disorder had
made its appearance at " Buona Via ta" and " St. Nicolas,"
two of the Cape de Verd Islands, and that the most effica-
cious measures and precautions were ' being taken to prevent
the spreading of the contagion, of . a typhoid nature, and
supposed to be the yellow fever; anti that the'whole of the
Forts of Portugal, together with the "Acores," or Western
and Madeira Islands, were closed against all vessels arriving
from, or having in any way communcu ation with the Cape de
Verd Islands, with the exception of 'A e port of Lisbon, as the
only place with an appropriate laza •etto, and where such
vessels were to be sent and admitteet to perform quarantine.
—I have the honour to be, Sir, your it lost obedient servant,

DUTIES ON IRON AND ST_ El IN MOROCCO.
Extract of a letter received at Llo yc l's, from Gibraltar :
‘, I beg to inform you that the ro, vs monopoly in respect
to the importation of iron and steel to the dominions of the
Emperor of Morocco, has lately bet .n rescinded, but an
enormous duty is now levied, say 5 (Jo liars per cwt. on iron,
and 7 dollars per cwt. on steel, being; equivalent to 200 per
cent. (ad valorem) on the former, and 100 per cent. on the
latter article. Previous to the late nz onopoly the duty on
both was only 10 per cent., so that the present rates are
almost equal to a prohibition ; still td te present measure is
considered better to mercantile inter et ts at large than the ex.
elusive monopoly of the Sultan."
