" Elsinore, May 14, 1836.
" Sta,—With reference to my despatc•h. No. 16, dated the 2d
Mardi, relative to the navioation of the Agga Channel, I have
the honour of further communicating the tollowiug particulats
on the subject._

"With a view of facilitating the navigation through that
channel, the Danish Admiralty, by an outer dated the 7th of
April,.have sanctioned the erection of a pilot establishment at
its entrance from the north sea: In consequence, to the .south
of that entrance, on a sandy eminence, and near a temporary
watchouse, has been placed a signal-post, the flags of which,
hoisted at the top, signifies that the vessel has been observed,
and that the assistance or a pilot is offered. The said flag being
lowered once, it denotes I foot of water; twice, 2 feet; thrice,
3 feet; and so forth. After this the pilots go out towards the
vessel to make the custornatv signals. The rate of pilotage,
bayable according to the tarift exhibited in• the pilot-office, has
een fixed for the present at two fix bank dobars, silver, equal
to four shillings and sixpence sterling per foot of the ship's
draught of water; and in the winter season at one-third more,
which rate will eventually be reduced, should the navigation of
the channel increase. Ships entering horn the north sea may
obtain pilots for the several ports and places interested in the
Sinefiord.

"According to the soundings which have been taken at differ-
ent periods the depth of the western entrance varies from five
to seven feet, and at the eastern entrance from five and a half
to six feet. In the channel itself, which affords good anchor-
age. the depth, both from the frith and the sea, dect eases to
eighteen feet, which depth, however, is subject to continual
changes. he mouth of the channel, towards the sea, is about
half a Danish mile wider, but further up, towards the friths, it
declines from 25(1 to 50 fathoms; its length from the sea, to the
commencement of the frith, is supposed to he three .fourths of a
'Danish mile.

" Any alterations in the course or depth of this channel, as
well as the names of the vessels frequenting it, will, from time
to time, be communicated in the Danish payers.

Da. JOHN ROG ERSON'S LECTURES ON CH EMIST RY.-The
second of a course of lectures on chemistry, now being given at
the Royal Institution by Dr. J. Rogerson, Was delivered on the
evening of the 23d instant. After adverting to the general
utility of chemistry, the lecturer proceeded.to trace the history
of the science from its origin to its condition during the labonrs'
of the visionaries in search of the " philosopher's stone." The
relations of this science to the philosophy of Mechanics—the
meanings severally of the terms gravitation, cohesion, repulsion,
"chemical affinity," &c —were then pointed -out; and other
subjects of interest were illustrated by well selected experiments..
l'he second lecture was devoted :o a review of the literature of
the laws of combinati-n. The lecturer particularized a hat be

,ively due to the nriainators of the theoretical opinions enter-
ained from Wenzel and Richter, respecting the laws rf.combi—
