NOTICE TO MARINERS.

ADDITIONAL BEACON BUOY ON THE SCAW

REEF.

Admiralty, Sept. 24, 1844.
Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to transmit to you herewith, for the
information of the Committee for Managing the Affairs
of Lloyd's, a copy of a dispatch from the British Consul
at Elsinore, reporting the establishment of an additional
Beacon Buoy on the Scaw Reef.—l am, Sir, &e.,

Elsinore, Sept. 12, 1844.
My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit to your
Lordship herewith inclosed, a translation of a notice
issued by the General Board of Customs and Trade at
Copenhagen, dated the 10th instant, making known that
an additional Beacon Buoy has been laid down at the
S. E. extremity of the Scaw Reef, which will be out du-
ring the winter, and in case it should be carried away by
the ice, it will be replaced by another as soon as circum-
, stances shall permit.—l have, &c.

(TRANSLATION.)
In order to mark the reef which projects from the
point of the Scaw, a Bacon Buoy was some time
bank laid down at its N.E. extremity, which lies in
four and a half fathoms water, in the direction W. by
S. of the Lighthouse and the Old Church Steeple,
both in one line, and was furnished with three brooms.
In addition to the foregoing, another Beacon Buoy has
now been laid down at the S.E. extremity of the reef, in
four fathoms water, the Lighthouse bearing W.N.s,y., and
the old Skrugen Church Steeple W. This Beacon Buoy
is provided with only two brooms, and will, in the same
manner as the first-mentioned buoy, lie out during the
winter ; and should it be carried away by the ice, it will
be replaced by another as soon as circumstances may
permit.

LIGHT ON BRUSTERORT, BETWEEN PILLAU
AND MEMEL.

Royal Prussian General Consulate, London,
September 25, 1844.
Sir,—l am directed by his Prussian Majesty's De-
partment for Foreign Affairs to acquant you that it is
intended to erect on 13rusterort, a projecting point of
land between Pellau and Memel, a revolving light of the
second class, upon Fresnel's plan ; but as the building
cannot be finished for some considerable time, it has been
deemed necessary to renew the North Beacon at Bras-
terort, which was burned down in September, 1842, and
to give the Sea Light there an improved construction.
I beg to inclose you a translation of a notice to mari-
ners, which has been published in the Continental pa-
pers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient
servant (Signed) B. HEBETER,
Prussian Consul-General.
Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secr( tart', Lloyd's.

The Sea Light exhibited on Bristerort has been im-
proved so as to show two fixed lights, the position and
elevation being the same as the former, and visible in
clear weather at a distance of about 24 German miles,
within 101 degrees of the horizon, namely, from W. to
N. by N.N.E. (query, if from W. to N. by E. round by
North.) Both lights will be exhibited for the first time
on the evening of the Ist of October, 1844, and kept
burning from sunset to sunrise through the year.

NEW LIFE-BOAT.—A new and extraordinary life- bo.
is being built upon the diagonal principle, by the Patent
Kamptulicon and Flooring Company, near Waterloo -
bridge, the planks of which are composed of India rubber
and ground cork. Its specific gravity is stated to be
two-thirds lighter than oak, and from which it is believed
the boat is incapable of being bilged or sunk. Her
length 34 feet, and breadth 11 feet, is copper fastened,
and pulls twelve oars; has two lugg sails, and steers with
either a rudder or oar. The Belgian Government has
directed three to be built for that coast.

PAISLEY.—STATE or TRADE.-Trade still con-
tinues brisk, and all hand are employed. This remark
applies to the whole of the different branches of our
manufacture. The neighbouring villages also participate
in this agreeable state of things. In the neighbourinc,
town of Johnstone, cotton-spinning has not been so 6
brisk for a good many years. The old mills are all
utinoun. No
busy, and some new ones are in
provisions

circumstances must be considerably improved.—Glasgow

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Morning ... 31 minutes after 1 I Evening ... 48 minutes after I

In addition to the lamp-posts of the great metro-
polis serving as direction posts to the receiving houses of
the General and Twopenny Posts, the truly excellent
plan of using them to point out the streets has been
adopted by the parish of St. AI ary-le-Strand, by fixing
a square of ground glass instead of plain in the side of
the lamp facing the Strand, and the name of the street
or court at the end of which the lamp is placed, painted
on it in large black letters, thus obviating the difficulty
hitherto experienced, at night in particular, of finding
the street wanted. To foreigners and those unacquainted
with London, the plan, when adopted throughout the
metropolis, must prove most beneficial.
