1104RIZICS TOR SHIPPING LAID DOWN IA ♦ALINCIA IA T.

Extract of a Letter from Messrs. Henry O'Shea, Trenor, and
Co. dated Valencia, Bth November, 1825, to Mr. Bennett, Secre-
tary to Lloyd's:
41 We have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of
those whom it may concern, that in pursuance of a Itnyal order,
which we have obtained from his Catholic Majesty, authorizing
our establishing moorings for shipping in this open bay, that on the
sth inst. we laid down an anchor of three tons weght, in seven
fathoms Water, to which a very strong chain is attached, suspended
to a buoy of a conic form, nine feet high, and about seven in diame-
ter, which is visible from a great distance upon the superfice of the
water, and the vessels which may make use of this, have simply to
pass a cable through the t ing affixed to the buoy, and thus ride with
safety, besides avoiding the wear and tear of cables so very usual in
this port. The Spanish marine officers of this department, as well
as the Captains of the English merchant vessels, and the Foreign
Consuls, whom we have consulted upon this project are very san-
guine as to the advantages of these moorings: and it will afford us
particular pleasure. if the exertions we have made to establish
them, prove useful to our countrymen. Ina few days we hope to lay
down another anchor and chain, and shall augment them in propor-
tion as they answer our expectations of an almost certain security to
the vessels which frequent this exposed and open bay. On the Gth
inst. the English brig Nimble, Captain Warounow, made fast to the
new moorings, and the Captain speaks in the most ilatteting terms
of their utility."
