dock ; frr which purpose her stern will be cut away,

BELL Rocit LIGHT.HODSE.—This magnificent
structure, which will afford so much security to the
navigation of the east coast of Scotland, we are happy
to learn, is now nearly finished. It was founded about
three years and a half ago, when the contractors did
not expect to finish it in less than six years. The
mason work is now completed, the capital of thb co-
lumn, which was hewn and put together in Edinburgh,
having been removed to the rock about six weeks since.
The lantern, which was also constructed in Edinburgh,
will very soon be put up, and it is expected the light
will be displayed some time next month. The light-
house is the finest structure of the kind upon the
Scotch coast. It is built on the plan invented by
Smeaton, and adopted on the construction of the
Edystone. The Bell Rock being larger, its base is
of a greater diameter, and its height is more consider-
able, from the top of the mason work to the base it
is 108 feet. _ _

A young Naval Lieutenant lately wrote a letter to
Mr. YORKE, first Lord of the Admiralty, offering
him £lOOO to get him made Commander. It is need-
less- to say, that the latter was much exasperated at
this insulting proposition. In consideration of the in-
experience of the applicant, he did not strike his name
off the list altogether, but dispatched a letter to Sir
EDWARD PELLEW, desiring him to summon the
youngster before him ; and, after a severe reprimand,
to place him at the bottom of the list.
