NOTICE TO MARINERS.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The Lighthouse Board of the United States has issued
the following notices :

Red fight at the Narrows, Boston Harbour.
A fixed reel light was exhibited on the night of the lst
August, 1850 (in conformity to previous notice), from the
screw pile lighthouse erected on the Spit abreast the Nod..
rows, Boston Harbour.

The house is a hexagonal building, painted a dark brown
colour ; is elevated on seven iron piles, and surmounted
with an iron lantern.

The light is designed as a guide for clearing the Spit, by
vessels passing through the main ship channel, and is illu-
minated by a lens apparatus of the 6th order, elevated 35
feet above high water mark.

This light in range with Long Island Head Light will
take a vessel clear of the Harding's.
From Point Alderton Buoy this light is in range with
Long Island Mead Light, and they bear W.N.W. W.
This course will take a vessel, by the buoy, in 19 feet
water at low tide. Large vessels, in entering, should bring
Long Island Head Light open to the northward of the
Spit Light.

'The following magnetic bearings are given from this
light :—•False Spit Buoy, E.S.E. # E. ; Point Alderton
13uoy, E.S.E. 4 E. ; North Centurion Buoy, S.E. 4 S. ;
Long Island Head Light, W.N.W. 4 W. ; Mix's Mate
Beacon, N.W. j W.

Fog Bells on Mount Desert and Matinicus Rocks, Coast of

- Maine.
A fog bell, weighing 1,500 pounds, has been placed on
Mount Desert Rock, near the lighthouse. The bell is
placed on an open frame structure, painted white and
brown, and is about 50 feet above the level of the sea. It
is worked by machinery, and strikes about seven times
in one minute.

A. bell of the same weight has been placed on Matini-
cus Rock, on a frame precisely like that of the Mount De•
sort Rock Bell. This bell strikes teu times in one minute.
Both of these bells will be sounded hereafter in thick
weather.

By command of their lordships.
