NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, April 10th, 1858.
THE following Notice relative to two new
Light Houses recently erected at King
George's Sound, is published for general
information.
E. W. STAFFORD.

LIGHT-HOUSES AT KING GEORGE'S SOUND,
WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

For the guidance of Shipping frequenting
King George's Sound, a light-house has been
erected on the summit of Breaksea Island at
the entrance of the Sound, and another at the
entrance to Princess Royal Harbour.

A light is exhibited in both between sunset
and sunrise.
That on Breaksea Island is a good Catadi-
optric light of the 2nd order, white, fixed, and
elevated 383 feet above sea level. It may
consequently be seen in clear weather at the
distance of 9 leagues, from an elevation of 12
feet above the water.

The octagonal iron tower which carries this
light is erected near the centre of the island,
which is 1½ miles in length E. by S. and W.
by N., with an average width of nearly a
quarter of a mile. From Breaksea light the
extremity of Bald Head bears South 40 degrees
West 3 miles, Cape Vancouver at the foot of
Mount Gardiner East 15 degrees North 7
miles, and the light at the entrance of
Princess Royal Harbour West 20 degrees
North 6 miles. By a vessel from the West-
ward the light may first be seen round the
steep slope of Bald Head on the bearing of N.
E. E., just open to the South of the Eclipse
Islands. These bearings are magnetic.

The light at Princess Royal Harbour is on
Point King, the North point of its narrow
entrance. It is a fixed white light of the same
description as that on Breaksea, but smaller,
and is elevated 37 feet above high water.
From the mid channel between Breaksea and
Michaelmas Islands this light bears W. by N.
N., and from the N. E. extremity of Bald
Head N. W. ¼ W. It is carried by a wooden
square tower 17 feet in height, and 37 feet
from the water's edge. All bearings magnetic.

Surveyor General.

SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR THE
PORT OF NEWCASTLE.

The following Directions are published for the
information of Commanders of Vessels
bound to the Port of Newcastle, New South
Wales, formerly known as Port Hunter.

Commanders of Ships from Foreign Voyages,
or others, not being intimately acquainted with
the Navigation of the Port of Newcastle,
should not either day or night, attempt to enter
without having first obtained a Pilot, and in
running down for the entrance at early dawn,
they are requested to allow sufficient time to
elapse to enable their signal for a Pilot to be
seen, and the Pilot to get outside the entrance
to the Port and board before approaching too
close to the contracted channel, which they
have to navigate. Not less than one hour after
daylight should be allowed to permit these
duties being carried out. They are also
cautioned against having anything displayed
