SWEDEN.

The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the
Swedish and Norwegian General Consulate :

26, -Crosby-square, Oct. 15, 1842.
Sir,—l have it in command to communicate to you
the following translation of an ordinance, issued by
the Royal NaVal Board at Stockholm, under date of
Sept. 6 :—" The Royal Naval Board hereby makes
mown for the information and guidance of mariners,
that the revolving light at Hallon, situated about a
quarter of a mile south-east of Salo Beacon, in lat.
N. 58 deg. 20 min. 30 sec., and lon. 29 deg. 25 min.
45 sec. east of Ferro, or 11 deg. 16 min. 45 sec. east
of Greenwich, which was announced by the ordinance
of the 11th January last, will be exhibited on the Ist
of November, of the present year, and will after that
time continue to be lighted at such periods of the day
and night as are appointed by law. This light, the
flame of which is 116 feet above the level of the sea,
will revolve, and consists of nine polished reflec-
tors, so placed that during the period occu-
pied by each revolution, which is six minutes,
they will show nine flames of short duration, with
dart t intervals. This light cannot, therefore, be mis-
taken for that at Maistrand, which shows only four
lights, of longer duration during each revolution of
eight • minutes. The tower, being of stone, and
coloured white, is forty-four feet from the ground to
the light, and is built upon the south-eastern side of
Hallon, about the centre of the island, near the
principal entrance to Kongshcmn, by which means'
it will be possible for vessels which may have
entered into the dangerous north-east bay, and
during a lee wind find it difficult to keep clear of the
shore, by the assistance of the light to seek shelter
behind the beacon land. The light will be visible
from the sea in every direction, except when made
E.S.E. by the compass, when the same is concealed
for some minutes of the circle by the " Salo"
Beacon. Towards the land it is seen obscured be-
tween N.E. by E., and S.S.E.. from the light."
