Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, June 24th, 1857.

THE following Despatch from Her Ma-
jesty's Principal Secretary of State for
the Colonies, respecting the erection of Light-
houses in the Colonies, is published for general
information.

E. W. STAFFORD.

Downing-street,
8th January, 1857.

SIR, —You have already been apprized that
the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council
for Trade have undertaken the duty, as far as
the Home Government is concerned, of super-
intending the erection of Colonial Light-
houses.

In cases where Funds are to be found for
the purpose of erecting or maintaining any
such Light, by levying tolls under the Mer-
chant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1855,
or by means of a Grant from the Imperial
Parliament, applications will of course be made
to the Board of Trade, and they will then have
an opportunity of considering the character
and position of the Light in question, with re-
ference to other Lights in the neighbourhood.
But when a Light is erected in a Colony
without application to the Lords of the Com-
mittee, it may happen that their Lordships
receive no notice of the Light until the com-
pletion is notified to the public in the usual
way.
