TT having been reported to the Dock Committee that
da-
mage is frequently done to the Rock Lighthouse by
Masters of Flats and other Craft attempting to pass between
it and the Fort ; that the Floating Lights have sustained con-
siderable injury, besides the risk of being driven from their
stations or sunk, by being run foul of through the careless-
ness of Masters of Vessels or other Persons having the com-
mand ; and that many of the Buoys are perforated with balls,
thereby causing them to sink, or are otherwise injured by
persons tiring at birds perched upon them ; that they are
often run foul of, sunk, or dragged away from their moorings
by Steam and other Vessels, also by Flats and other Craft
making fast thereto, thereby occasioning great damage, and
endangering the navigation into and out of the port :
Now, the Committee DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE
that they will cause all persons so offending and damaging
any of the Lighthouses, Floating Lights, Buoys, Landmarks,
or other works, belonging to them, to be PROSECUTED
to the utmost extent and rigour of the law. And they do
also hereby offer a REWARD of TEN POUNDS to any
person or persons who will give such information as shall
lead to the Conviction of the Offender or Offenders.
By order,
DANIEL MASON, Secretary.

SUBSTITUTES FOR STAYS.
AMESBURY'S PATENT BODY SUPPORTS.—These
Supports are used instead of Stays and Corsets, which are
injurious to the natural form and developement of the Body.
When the PATENT BODY SUPPORTS are used for the ordi-
nary purposes for which Stays and Corsets are employed,
they afford effectual support to the Body, and at the same
time exert a preservative influence, tending thereby to guard
the Spine and Chest against Deformity, and to prevent un-
natural fulness of the Abdomen. They are also applied so as
to produce a curative action whenever this is required, by
which they alleviate and correct many of th 6 defects and
weaknesses to which the human spine, chest, and abdomen
are liable. They are made in three varieties, to suit the
various conditions of the Body in the single and married
state.—lnvented by Josxpx AMESBURY, Surgeon, London,
