NOTICE TO MARINERS.

NEW RIVER HARBOUR, FOVEAUX STRAIT.

“Invercargill, 30th October, 1858.
“SIR,—The New River pilot having
communicated to me the following infor-
mation, 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 sixteen 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.
