Wellington, 19th August, 1870.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from
the Government of Queensland, is published for
general information.
JULIUS VOGEL.

PORT OF REFUGE, TORRES STRAITS.

NOTWITHSTANDING that the Admiralty Australian
Directory of 1864, page 208, mentions that a settle-
ment was then being formed at Port Albany, Masters
of vessels which have since been wrecked on the
Barrier Reef seem to have been unaware of the
existence of any such settlement in Torres Straits.

Notice is therefore hereby given, that Wrecked
Crews can obtain shelter and assistance at Somerset,
on the south side of Albany Pass, and that they will
be forwarded thence to the most convenient port by
the first opportunity.

Masters of vessels not proposing to communicate
with the settlement, are urgently requested, when
passing, to make their number by the Commercial
Code, and also to signal the port from which they
have sailed and that to which they are bound,
G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,
Portmaster.

the Province of Auckland, Civil Engineers, did, on
the second day of August, one thousand eight and
seventy, deposit with John Boyle Bennett, Esquire,
Registrar-General, the person appointed by the
Governor to receive petitions from persons desirous
of obtaining Letters Patent under "The Patents Act,
1860," a Petition addressed to His Excellency the
Governor, accompanied with plans and specifications,
praying for the grant to them of Letters Patent
under "The Patents Act, 1860," for the exclusive
use within the Colony of New Zealand of an Inven-
tion in the means of using fixed wire or other ropes,
chains, bars, or other materials for carrying loads
from one point to another by gravitation or any
known motive power; and also in the method of
causing such loads to pass the point of support with-
out hindrance: for an Invention of the employment
of clips for fastening the ropes or bars to the pendants,
and the employment of end-brackets for preventing
the rope being injured by sag at the points of support,
as described in the plans and specifications deposited
at the office of the said John Boyle Bennett afore-
said: for an Invention of the employment of India-
rubber or brass or other material in the tread at
the pulley, so that the rope may be prevented from
wearing; and also the employment of one wire rope
with brass loops, to enable the boxes or carriages to
pass each other, as described in the plans and specifi-
cations deposited as aforesaid. Any person wishing
to prefer any objection to the grant of such Letters
Patent, is required to send, within four months of the
publication of this notice, to the office or address of
the said John Boyle Bennett, a statement in writing
setting forth the points of such objection, subscribed
with his proper name and address.
