NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTHOUSE ON THE COAST OF CUBA.
The following has been received at Lloyd's :
Admiralty, Aug. 30, 1842.
SIR,—I am commanded by my
Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to acquaint you, for the information
of the Committee for managing
the affairs of Lloyd's,.
my Lords have received from the Foreign-office a
despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Santiago de Cuba,
representing that a Lighthouse had been erected on the
eastern side of the Moro Castle, at the entrance of that
harbour, with a revolving light, and that it was first
lighted on the night of the Ist June, 1842. I am, Sir, &c.,
(Signed) JOHN BARROW.

BEDE LIGHT IN TILE STRAND.—The Bude light in
the Strand, opposite Northumberland House, which has
been so long in preparation, was lit last night for
the first time. It has a brilliant and imposing effect
from the Strand, and renders the whole of Charing--ross
as light as day. Charing-cross was crowded with per-
sons during the night, to look at " the sight." The light
is supported upon six pillars of wood, joined at the top
in the shape of a Bourbon crown. The light itself is
very large,
and is so extremely powerful, that it is im-
possible to look at it fur more than a second. It will be
a great acquisition to this part of the town, which is, at
almost all hours of the night, crowded with vehicles of
different descriptions,
rendering the thoroughfare at times
dangerous to foot passengers.
THE RECENT CiacuiTs.—The summer circuits
have this year considerably.exceeded their usual dura-
tion. The Western Circuit, which terminated at Bristol
on Monday last, is said to have lasted longer than any
former Western Circuit :
and the Northern Circuit,
which, as far as the
reaular business of the circuit is
concerned, may be said to•have concluded on Tuesday
hits occupied eight w last,
eeks. The business on the
Northern, Western, and oxford Circuits was very heavy,
and the Oxford Circuit could not have hem brought to a
conclusion so early if it had' not been by the assistance
of Mr. Godson, who presided in an additional Court at
Stafford, Shrewsbury, and Gloucester, and tried in each
of those places, With great ability, a number of prisoners
whose trials under the ordinary: course of business must
have extended beyond the period allowed in the Com-
mission for those counties. In the Northern Circuit Mr.
Justice Maule, it is understood, considers himself bound
to clear the gaol, although the prisoners now under con-
finement arc those committed ou charges- arising out of
the reeeut disturbances.
