Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Philadel-
phia, dated March 20:
"The risk •of coming into our port would be much lessened
if captains of vessels would shew a signal for a pilot as soon oi
they see the lig,hl house. The Chamber of Commerce and ir su-
ranee offices have established repeating signals at the Light-
house, upon seeing which the pilots could always meet the ves-
sels at the light-house ; whereas at present they frequently only
shew their signal when abreast of the light-house, and then
must lie to, always with delay, and sometimes with d..nger.
Our pilots are generally cruising, but when they are not, this
caution is of importance.
" Our Surveyor of the Port has received his orders to con-
tract for a light-house at• Cape May."

Saturday last, Sir WILLIAM CONOREVE exhibited
to Lord Mixt.vlLLs and other distinguished persons,
at Gillingisam, near Chatham, the effects of some
new-invented rockets, called Anchor Rockets. A small
anchor is affixed to the head of one of the largest spe-
cies of rockets, so that it can be thrown across a river,
or to a considerable distance, with a rope attached
to it, and the anchor fites itself firmly In the ground.
The experiments succeeded perfectly.
Monday night, on Chatham Lines, the use of the
parachute rockets was put to the test, by an attack
having been ordered on the ramparts, and the rockets
fired, to shew the garrison the assailing party. The
experiment gave great satisfaction, and has fully esta-
blished the. utility of this ingenious inventioa.
