Light on Cape Bordo.
With reference to Notices to Mariners, Nos. 40 and 66 of
1858, information has been received at the Admiralty that
the light on Cape Bordo, the noth-west point of Kangaroo
Island, off St. Vincent Gulf, South Australia, has been ex-
hibited since the 13th of July, 1858, and is designated the
Flinders Light.
The light, which revolves showing alternately red and
white every half minute, is visible between N.E. by E I E.
round by the north and west to S.W. by S. The white
light may be seen in clear weather from a distance of 30
miles, but the red light not more than about half that dis-
tance, and when the red light is not distinguishable the
white light will appear at intervals of one minute.
The illuminating apparatus is catoptric, or by reflectors,
and of the first order.
The lighthouse is a square tower of stone, and stands
about 500 yards from the edge of the cliff in lat. 35 deg. 45i•
min. S., long. 136 deg. 34 min. East of Greenwich.
Directions.--Vessels approaching Cape Bordo from the
south-west should keep the light well open off the high land
to the southward of the cape to avoid the reef off Cape
Bedout, the western earemity of the island, and if bound up
Investigator Strait, idler having rounded Cape Bordo, they
should keep the light quite clear of the high land to the
eastward of it on a S.W. by W. bearing until Cape Forbia
is passed, when it may be shut in.
In proceeding down Investigator Strait the light should
not be brought to bear to the westward of S.W. by W.
The bearings are magnetic. Variation 41 deg. E. in
1858.1

SUNDAY TRADING.—In consequence of proceed-
ings having recently been adopted by the local authorities
of Bury, to put down Sunday trading, by inflicting penal-
ties upon oyster sellers and apple dealers, a counter move-
ment has sprung up, and a notice has been issued intimating
that a committee of gentlemen has been formed to enforce
the provisions of the Act of Parliament against all classes
who may be found guilty of violating it ; and as it was be-
lieved that the act is openly and systematically violated by
magistrates, manufacturers, and others, the committee offer
a reward to any person who will come forward and give
such evidence as will lead to the conviction of the persona
so offending.—Manchcster Guardian.

MORE LOSSES OF COLLIER VESSELS AND SEA-

reached this town from Bremen that four collier vessels,
supposed to have been bound to Hamburg, have gone ashore
near Keppens, and that two were lost with all hands.
Another report says thatthreehave been seen at anchor, and
that one is only totally lost. The master and survivors of
the brig Australia, of Shields, which vessel was laden with
coals from Newcastle, have arrived in an open beat at Hams-
tide, in Holland, the vessel having been lost on thahestoord eastt.

SUICIDE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—One of
the most deliberate acts of suicide which has ever happened
on a line of railway was perpetrated on Wednesday morn-
ing on the Midland, about midway between Cheltenham
and Gloucester, near the Chosen-bridge. It occurred
during the transit of the Parliamentary train between Bir-
mingham and Bristol, which leaves the former station at
five minutes past 7 in the morning, and is due at Glocester
at five past 10. The train had arrived within four miles of
man standing

nearer, he deliberately walked upon the down line of rails,
and placing himself in a stooping position in front of the
engine appeared to await with coolness certain and instan-
taneous death. No time was afforded to avert the calamity
by a stoppage of the train, and the poor fellow was literally
dashed to pieces, fragments of his body being strewed about
the line, while considerable portions of flesh and of his wear-
ing apparel were found still adhering to the engine and car-
riages upon the train reaching Glocester. The deceased was
very respectably attired. Measures were immediately_ taken
to secure the remains, which were removed to the Tillage of
Chosen, there to await a coroner's inquest. At present they
have not been identified.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.—The highly interesting
lecture now in course of delivery at the Polytechnic Insti-
tution, by Mr. E. V. Gardner, the professor of chemistry
attached to the establishment, bids fair to eclipse in woes'
and popularity all its predecessors. The lecture abounds
with much valuable information which is placed before the
audienet in a form so lucid and entertaining that, for the
hour devoted to its delivery, the talented lecturer completely
rivets the attention of his auditory. His description of
colour is highly interesting, and as for his axpenments,
they rival in beauty and magnificence anything heretofoto
produced at this celebrated institution. We have very fre-
quently been delighted with the lectures delivered at the
Polytechnic, but beyond all question Mr. Gardner's new
discourse upon artificial light is the best we ever heard.
A NEW DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPTIY.—The
problem of the possibility of taking photographic pictures
and portraits by artificial light has just been satisfactorily
solved by a gentleman named Motile, residing at Hackney,
who has discovered a light by the aid of which pictures can
