THE LIGHT OF ALL NATIONS—SUCCESSFUL
ATTEMPT TO FLOAT THE CAISSON.

After many and repeated disappointments, Mr Bush,
at half-past eleven o'clock on Thursday night,- had the
gratification to find himself and one of his men floating
with his caisson on the bring deep. The Monkey steam-
tug and the Volcano steamer, of 200 horse-power, had
at the two tides of the previous day, and at the morning
tide of Thursday, moved the ponderous machine into
such a position that by removing about ten tons of the
ballast previously taken in, as soon as the water had
flowed a little above the first chamber, it floated like a
cork, in a perfectly vertical position. It was left to float
for three hours and a half, during which time it did not
make the least water ; and as the time for taking it to
the, sands and placing it in its prOper place,• will take up
no more than about two hours and a half, it is clear that
there is every probability of a successful issue. - We
trust, that as the public have been so often disappointed,
and now that Mr. Bush can. make a certainty of the,
caisson going to the sand on any . day, provided the
weather is suitable, that he will give the public timely
notice. Such is and has been the interest manifests
for the success of the undertaking, that, notwithstanding
the repeated failures, at each renewed attempi great
numbers of people flocked to the beach, to be gratified,
as they hoped, with the sight of seeing her go olf ; and
though the attempt was made so late un Thursday ni;lit,
as soon as the " inverted iron pot," as it is huinourously
called, was afloat, Mr. Bush was greeted with hundreds
of hurrahs, each person seemingly being as much
pleased as if he had a pecuniary interest in its success.
In closing these hasty remarks, we congratulate Mr.
Bush on his success thus far, and cordially wish him un-
interrupted success in its completion.

REEF Off POVERTY BAY, NEW ZEALAND.—From the
centre of the reef, 'Table Cape bears S. S. W., Young Nick's
Head S. W. by W. half W., Tamline bears W. half S, Gable
Fixeland bears N. by W. ; extreme northern land, about three
miles south of Spring's Head, either N. quarter E., or W.
quarter W., doubtful. The brig 311:rtha struck on this reef
in . June, 1834, and lost part of her false keel. These
bearings (magnetic) were taken in a boat, and, therefore, can
only be considered as an approximation to the truth. The reef
rats north and south, and is from two to three miles in
length, but having a short elbow at the south, and turning
narrow towards Young Nick's Head. The soundings (taken
at high water) vary irregularly from three to seven fathoms,
with patches of long led!). 11Ie sea breaks in on it only in bad
weather; and more so when the wind is from the northward to
the eastward. It Las been passed with a strong wind from the
south-east, and a very high sea, without obser ving.any appear-
ance of breakers; c;)nsequently, a vessel may pass very close to
the reef a number of times, without its being seen. The
soundings along the reef, in-shore, were found to vary very re-
gularly from fifteen to twenty-five fathoms, between the dis-
tances of three-quarters of a mile and a quarter, respectively.
N.S.—High water at Poverty Bay, on full and change of
the moon, at six A.m., with a rise of six feet at spring, and of
five feet at neap tides.
