LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.

LIGHTHOUSE 6RTIIEISLAND OF BANGOE.
The following has been received at Lloyd's:—
"Admiralty, Aug. 15, 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, copies of the translation of two notices re-
ceived from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore; one re
specting a light in the island of Bangoe, in the Little
Belt, and the other describing two new beacons, to be
exhibited in the Lyse Sound, in the Cattegat.—l am,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " SIDNEY HERBERT.
" To Wm. Dobson; Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's."
(TRANSLATION.)
" The light on the island of Bangoe between Assens
and Aroesund, established for the guidance of the
packets crossing the Little Belt, which bad hitherto lit
up the passage only south of that island, will, within
the present summer, be raised five feet higher, in a
lantern at the top of the lighthouse ; the lighthouse
will thereby come visible from all sides, except in the
direction of about N.E. by E. in which direction it
would be concealed a short way by Bangoe town during
the progress of the works connected with this contem-
plated change, which will prevent the original light
from being shown for a time. Light will be afforded by
a large lantern with reflection, which will be fixed at
the same height, and will light in the same direction as
the red light.
" General Board of Customs and Trade, July 12, 1844."
(TRANSLATION.)
" In the course of the month of August of this year
two beacons will be laid down at the Lyse Sound, in the
Cattegut, N.E. in the island of Hesseloe, viz.—
" One beacon, with two brooms at the top, at the N.E.
end of the aforesaid ground, in 4/ fathoms water, and,
by bearings, Hesseloe lighthouse S.W. 4 S., the Koll
E.S.E. 4 E.
" One beacon, with one broom at the top, at the N.W.
end of the ground, in 4i fathoms' water, and, by bear-
ings, Hesseloe lighthouse S.W. by S , and the Roll E.
by S.
" The beacons will remain exposed throughout the year.

Bond-street, CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—An attempt was made
-----
, Payne and Smith
on Wednesday to swindle Messrs. Hunt and Rosteel,
a spurious cheque on Messrs. Smith
goldsmiths
2ooA person
L and jewellers,
th
entered New e

pretence meansne de-
sired o o ff
wishing to purchase some fashionable jewellerYsired particularly to see the diamond ring tray,. but as hise-
appearance was not altogether satisfactory, anexcuse
was made. After some conversation on business mat-
ters, the assumed customer concluded by giving a very
good order, presenting at the same time a blank cheque
on Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., which he filled up for
2001., and signed it John Russell, jun. The cheque
was presented, but the answer was the drawer bad no
account there. The address given was Russell-square
, which of course was incorrect. As good grounds '
exist
for believing this is not the first attempt of the same kind,
nor likely to be the last, tradesmen would de well to be
on their guard. The individual is about fire feet six in
height, sallow complexion, of dissipated appearance, and
was dressed in a brown cost.
REVELATIONS or RUSSIA is no country
in the world about which England Ought to know so
much, and does in reality know •:)_ little, as about the
vast empire of the Czar, the principle on which it is go-
verned, and the desires and designs of those who
govern
it. With one sole exception, the writing travellers of
the last twenty years have appeared to conspire together,
as if by common consent, to blind Europe—and Eng-
land in particular—to the real views and objects of that
vast despotism which has reached its acme in the person
of the Emperor Nicholas. At length an Englishman,
and one who appears to have had utrqualled means and
facilities for observation, ha:, to speak the truth
about Russia, her government, her
_institutions, and the
fearful results to which they tend2__fearful no leas for
Europe than for her own people. Th se " Revelations
published, startling
of Russia," just are the most dis
-
closures of the kind that have ever been put forth, and
so intense and stirring is the social and political interest
mixed up with them, that the book has all the excite-
ment of a romance, combined with all the homefelt inte-
rest of what it evidently is—a true history.
The cheap trips on railways are becoming so
common, that soon, probably, we shall cease to think any-
thing about the matter. On Thursday, the Madrigal So-
ciety, of Manchester, took a trip to AlderlY, that well-
noted rendezvous on the •Manchester and Birmingham
Railway, at which place the members enjoyed them-
selves, as well as gratified many others, by singing many
of their choicest songs. The day was spent in the ut-
most possible harmony, The fare both ways was only
ls. 6d. The railway c„rapanies no doubt find cheap
fares beneficial.—Leeds Mercury.

ANOTHER CASE OF PIRACY AND
SUPPOSED MURDER.

Within the last day or two letters have been re-
ceived from Dundee, communicating to the under-
writers information respecting the brig Hannah, be-
longing to that port, from which strong suspicions are
apprehended that the captain, Mr. Lowther, was mur-
dered by the crew, for the purpose of possessing them-
selves of the vessel and cargo, but afterwards their
plans were frustrated :by the ship becoming leaky.
The particulars, it appears, were brought over by the
Hibernia, steamer, from the Lloyd's agent at Quebec,
and are as follows :

On the morning of Monday, the Bth of last month,
when the barque Scotland, William Hamilton, bound
to Quebec, was within ten hours' sail of that port, two
boats were discovered several miles to the leeward.
The captain, suspecting they belonged to some ship-
wrecked vessel, immediately bore down and picked
them up, when he ascertained that they belonged to
the brig Hannah, of Dundee. The boats contained
seven men, and the statemelt they made to Captain
Hamilton was to this effect :

They stated that on the night of the sth the
Hannah encountered a heavy gale of wind, and on the
following day it was found she had sprung a leak,
for there was upwards of two feet of water in her
hold. They all turned to the pumps, and finding,
after twenty-four hours pumping, that the water,
instead of diminishing, had increased several feet,
they urged Captain Lowther to take to the boats,
which he refused, saying there was a chance of saving
the vessel, and that he should not leave her.
There being nine feet of water in the hold then,
they determined to leave the vessel, and launch-
ing the two boats, which was all the ship pos-
sessed, they jumped in and left her, leaving the cap-
tain, without any possible means of escape, on board.
It was then twelve o'clock at night, and at daybreak
the following morning they looked round, in the
hopes of seeing the ship, but she was nowhere to be
seen. Captain Hamilton, suspecting the truth of
these statements, resolved, the moment he reached
Quebec, to acquaint the magisterial authorities, upon
which a brief inquiry was instituted, which resulted
in the committal of the whole of the ship's crew of
the Hannah to the Penitentiary, the magistrates
having a strong belief that so;ne foul ple.y had been
perpetrated on board. A f,!‘v days after their
committal, a vessel that had put into Quebec re-
ported that the wreck of the Hannah had been dis-
covered on the banks of the Anticosti, and that it had,
he believed, been taken in tow by another vessel, to
bring her into that port. Her arrival naturally was
looked for with intense interest, and on the 28th the
Hannah was brought safely into Quebec, with very
little damage. It is needless to say that the unfor-
tunate master, Captain Lowther, was not to be found,
nor any of the ship's papers. The
,prisoners were to
undergo a second examination on the 12th inst., and
in the meanwhile every possible inquiry was to be
made. The Hannah was heavily laden, but the na-
ture of her cargo is not mentioned.

THE WEDNESBURY MURDER,-
EXECUTION OF THE CULPRIT, BEARDS, AT
STAFFORD.

Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the extreme
sentence of the law was carried into effect at the
Stafford County gaol, on William Beards, who was
found guilty at the late assizes, of the murder of Eli-
zabeth Griffiths, at the village of Wednesbury, on
Saturday, the 16th of last March.
Lite on Friday evening the doomed culprit expressed
himself as being at peace with the world, and pre-
pared to die. He retired to rest apparently much
composed, and at an early hour rose. He was imme-
diately joined by the Reverend Ordinary, who re-
mained in earnest prayer until the arrival of the
Sheriffs and other official authorities. He repeatedly
thanked them for the extreme kindness they had
shown to him, and again acknowledged the justice of
his sentence.

He was conducted to the scaffold, erected on the
summit of the front of the gaol, the open space be-
neath containing an immense multitude. The execu-
tioner having aljusted the rope, the Rev. Gentleman
commenced reading that beautiful prayer in the burial
service, " In the midst of life," at the conclusion of
which the fatal bolt was withdrawn, and, :after a few
seconds, the wretched murderer ceased to exist. His
body having hung the usual time, it was cut down,
and interred within the precincts of the prison.
