HE TRUSTEES'of the LIVERPOOL DOCKS and
T HARBOUR hereby
.give notice, that in accatdanc; with
the recent survey of Captain Denham, R.N., the following im-
provements in the Lighting, Beaconing, and Buoying of the ap-
proaches to the port will be in operation on and after the night
of the Ist of August next, viz.,
POINT LYNAS LIGHT.—The light hitherto so situated as to
preclude seeing it seaward, and merely shown by a single re-
flector upon the long shore aspects, will be advanced to the
pitch of the point, and exhibited from a castellated building
(with white basement) recently erected thereon, with a power-
ful steady light, of the natural colour, produced by 13 argand
lamps and reflectors, ranging.over 211 degrees 9f the northern
Hod southeastern horizon, at an elevation of 12f:i; feet above half
tide level, rendering it visible in clear weather six or seven
lea, ini_es from a ship's deck- or, within one ,Teague of taking up
the N.W. Light Ship off Liverpool. This Lightl is so masked
for local inshore effect, as to obscure itself when brought east-
ward of S.E. 4 E. which clears the MIDDLE Monsa aof a mile,"
or northward of N. by W. a W. which clears the DALLAS RDCKSI
of a mile, and indicating when you ought to' tack out of Rao
WHARF BAY.'
THE FORMhy FLOATING LIGHT will, on and after the same
night, show its natural colour with increased power, in lieu of
the red light hitherto exhibited.
THE ROCK LIGHTHoSE will exhibit a Black Ball above its
balcony, whilst twelve feet water remains in the Rock out' by
day; and a steady,light (from a lower chamber in the western
aspect) will indicate the same by night.
-A FLOATING BEACON will be moored in the place of the pre-
sent Fairway Buoy, at the IslF.w CHANNEL entrance; present-
ing a black conical figure, bearing this inscription To New
Channel E.AS.' and surmounted by a large black ball, elevated
23 feet, with a self-acting bell,
NNw CHANNEL LAND MARK.—In order to render the line
of leading objeCts into the New Channel more available in
hazy weather, or accidental absence of the Light Vessel, a dark
bulky frame work has been erected on the High-water Shore
of Formby, in line of Light-vessel and Lighthouse.
Hui( La KE.LIGHiIiOUSES.—These buildings, in order to dis-
tineuish them-more' effectually from the neighbouring houses,
will henceforth be painted white.
DOVE BEACONS.—TWO Beacons will appear on Dova point
instead of one, affording a leading murk when brought in line
.upon the bearing of S. by E. fur passing between the Dove Spit
and East Hoyle, in reference to the eastern entrance of Hoy-
lake.
THE Buoys will henceforth be distinguished by the initial of
the Channel or Batik they respectively occupy, i. e. F. Formby.
C. Crosby. N. New Channel. Hl', Ralf-tide Swatchway. H.
Horse Channel. IIE. Helbre Swatch. R. Rock Channel. L.
Lake (Hoylake). B. Beggar's Patch. K. Knowl (Newcome.)
They. will likewise be numbered. in rotation, No. 1 always de-
noting the outer or seaward Buoy of the Channel its letter in-
dicates, and the turning point or elbow of each Channel will be
distinguished by a Perch Buoy, bearing in mind that Red Buoys
lie on the starboard hand, and Black upon the larboard, when
running in.
ADDITIONAL Boors.—Eighteen additional Buoys will be laid
down by the above date (making 56 in all) and thus disposed :
one (red) and one (black) on each side of the New Channel, be-
tween the present Buoys; one (red) on the eastern edge of Jor-
dan Bank, between the present Buoys; one (black) on edge of
Formby Bank, next northward of Crosby Buoy; two (black) on
the Lowwater edge of Bootle sands; one (red) on edge of 'Rip
raps ;' one (red) on edge of Mockbeggar Wharf, between the
Dove Spit and west wharf-buoys; one (black and white) on
west end of Beggar's Patch; two (red) on the east edge of
Hoyle Bank, within the present Buoys; two (red and white) on
the west side of Helbre Swatch; two black) on east side of
ditto; one (white with black stripe) showing the fairway of
Half-tide Swatchway, 1 mile westward of Formby fairway Buoy;
one (red) on the edge of Hoyle in Hoylake, abreast of the church;
and a black (nun) Buoy (marked K. 1.) upon that part of the
shoal now called NEwcomh KNOWL, which has lately grown up
sn as to have but 14 feet water upon it at Low-water springs.
This Buoy bears from the N.W. Light Ship E. a S. 214 miles,
and from the New Channel Floating Beacon S. S W. zW. 2
miles. _ _ . .

The whole of the foregoing will he clearly shown and explain-
ed in the forthcoming completed edition ot Captain Denham's
Survey, of which the Dock Trustees published an extract chart

sioners of the Admiralty.—By order of the Liverpool Dock
Committee. _ .

N.B. The navigstion of the port will be further assisted by
an arrangement which will enable the Light Vessels to act as
Telegraphs, whereby Ships' Numbers or casualities will be more
readily transferred to the town.
