SHIP SIGNALS.-Mr. MARK COSNAIL4N
has invented a new kind of signals for intimating, the arrival
of ships off this port. Ali the signals may be.exiiressedin
a space of from twelve to twenty yards square, and any
number of ships, up to a hundred sail, may be signalized at
once. This 'would undonhtedly be an. improvement on
pro-
cess of signalizing the ships 'off the port would he much

whole

the present system, hut it

might be immediately posted in some place on the shore,
if thought desirable. This plan :would be far less liable to
