Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 10th December, 1858.
THE Honourable the Colonial Secretary
directs the following notice respecting
the New River Harbour, Foveaux Straits,
to be published for general information.
W. GISBORNE,
Under Secretary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
NEW RIVER HARBOUR, FOVEAUX STRAITS.

"Invercargill, 30th October, 1858.
"SIR, The New River pilot having com-
municated to me the following information I
lose no time in forwarding the same to your
Honor.

"1st, The pilot states that the channel at
the entrance of the New River (in which at low
water springs, Mr. Thomson, chief surveyor,
found from sixten to eighteen feet two years
ago) is gradually filling up, so that two
months ago the pilot could only find nine feet,
and about a fortnight ago only six feet.

" 2nd, That a new channel (at present the
only one) has opened up about two cables length
to the north-west of the former one, in which
the pilot found, when he last sounded, fifteen
feet at low water: where this channel now exists
there were formerly only a few feet.

" I have taken steps to apprise the com-
manders of the whalers which frequent the River
of the change; which I trust may prevent them
making an attempt to enter the River by the

old channel, which attempt would certainly be
attended with serious consequences to vessels of
their draught.
"Strangers will not likely attempt to enter
without a pilot; but as a recent instance
occurred in which a stranger did so enter, I
would respectfully suggest that, to prevent
accident, all publicity should be given to the
above report.

" I indulge a hope that this new channel
which has so suddenly made its appearance, and
is much wider than the old one, will continue
to increase in depth, and thus make the Port
of New River much more easy of access than
it has hitherto been.

"I have the honour to be, &c.,
"A. J. ELLES,
"Resident Magistrate and Harbour Master.
"His Honor the Superintendent of Otago."
