SIR,-By the enclosed note which I have
just received, it appears I have made a mistake

in the spelling of the name of the gentleman
returned as Member of the General Assembly
for Hampden.

I therefore beg to state that Frederick Wayne
was duly returned to represent the Electoral
District of Hamden in the General Assembly,
and not Frederick Waine.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) J. W. MURDOCK,
Returning Officer,
Hampden District.

HIS Excellency the Governor directs the

to Mariners, received from the Government of
the Colony of Victoria.

LIGHTNING ROCKS.

THE accompanying Notice to Mariners,
respecting temporary buoys marking the
position of the Lightning Rocks, is published
for general information.

JAS. G. FRANCIS,
Commissioner of Trade and Customs.
Department of Trade and Customs,
Melbourne, 27th August, 1863.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

TEMPORARY BUOYS ON THE LIGHTNING ROCKS.

MASTERS of vessels navigating between Port
Phillip Heads are hereby cautioned to avoid
four small temporary spar buoys, colored red,
which have been placed round and close to the
Lightning Rocks.

As these buoys are very liable to be washed
away, and are placed there for a special pur-
pose, mariners must not trust to them in any
way to mark the position of these rocks, but,
as hitherto, use the shore marks for that pur-
pose on Point Lonsdale and Shortland's Bluff,
as published in the Gazette, dated 22nd Decem-
ber, 1862.

CHARLES FERGUSON,
Chief Harbour Master.
Department of Ports and Harbors,
Williamstown, 26th August, 1863.
