FOREIGN ARTISTES AND THE
INCOME TAX.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—ln the event of the income tax once more becoming
the law of the land, how will the foreign Artistes, Singers and
Dance• s, engaged at her Majesty's Theatre and the French
plays, be able to make their return, so as to be called upon to
pay the tax ? My reason for calling, I hope, the attention of
some Member of the Legislature to this is, that they,
Vie Foreigners, seldom or ever remain six months at
a time in this country ; although during the time they
are in it, it is well known, they manage to make their
income amount to many thousands ! Now, Sir, as the English
actors will have to pay the tax, at least these whose income may
exceed 1501. per year, which I grieve to say are but few,
while all the foreigners obtain more, by many hundreds, will
it not be an act of double injustice, if the foreigners alluded to,
are permitted to escape scot free, while our native " Poor
Players " will be compelled to subscribe to the tax ?
Yours, obediently, T. R. H.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.-LIGHTS
IN THE CATTEGAT.

Conformably to the announcement made by this Board en
the 22d of February; last, the light vessel therein mentioned
will be placed in the Cattew, at the end of Anholes Eastern
Reef, early in April, andthe lightexhibited as sown as the follow-
ing alteration has been made in Anholt's chief fixed light, which
will be completed by the middle of the month of Apt il.The above-
mentioned vessels having two masts with the peculiar rigging ef
a schooner, and whose sides are painted red with a white cross,
will be E. half S. from the lighthouse on the island of Anholt,
about one quarter mile from the end of the reef, in 18 fathoms
water. The light apparatus consists of nine lamps, with ro-
tary gear, which surround the aftermast, and will be elevated
25 feet above the level ef the sea. This, like the other Danish
lights, will in future be kept burning between Michaelmas and
Easter from half an hour after sun set till sun rise ; and be-
tween Easter and Michaelmas from one hour after sun set. In
thick rain and fog the ship's bells will be rung continually for
five minutes, after a pause of some duration. During the day
a red flag will be hoisted on the foretop, and in stormy weather
a red jack. The light vessel is appointed to remain on the
station until the 21st of December, and to resume it as early
as possible in the month of March in each year. The crew
are not allowed to have sommunieation with any passing
vessel, except in cases of distress requiring immediate as-
sistance, which will be rendered as far as possible. At the
same time that the floating light is exhibited the axed light en
the Island of Anholt will be altered to a flash light, comprising
eight lamps, with rotary apparatus revolving in three minutes
and one-third ; so that every 25th second a strong flash is shown
which continues about six seconds, and then disappears for
nineteen seconds. The light is in future to be exhibited every
night throughout the year, according to the regulation for
lighting and extingushing Danish lights; on the contrary, the
additional fixed light on the eastern side of the lighthouse will
be kept burning only so long as the light vessel is in her station.
