NOTICE TO MARINERS.

That a lighthouse has been erected on Pointe des Monts (or Cape Monts Pelés), on the north side of the River St. Lawrence, nearly opposite to Cap Chat, the lantern standing 100 feet above the water.

The lighthouse lays with the outermost part of Caribou Point, north 52. east, and south 52. west by compass, and it can be seen over that point and to the eastward of it. Ships approaching the light from the eastward, as they draw towards the Caribou Point, must bring it to bear west by south, they will then be in a good fair way, and if necessary they can near the land by their lead. After passing Caribou Point, and as they draw towards the lighthouse, they must come no nearer than twelve fathoms water to avoid two ledges of rocks, one of which lays E. S. E. from the light, with only twelve feet water on it; the other lays S. W. from the light, and E.S. E. from the western extremity of Pointe des Monts, with sixteen feet water on it; but these rocks do not lay farther from the shore than half a mile at low water.

The lighthouse lays with the west extremity of Pointe des Monts, north 64. east, and south 64. west, and distant about one mile; and when ships are to the westward of the Point; the lighthouse is in one with the outermost rocks off the Point; and in the day-time it forms a bold distinct land

mark; and on this line of bearing ships are in the best possible fair way for the general purposes of navigation, whether bound up or down. For any particular purposes of navigation, ships may safely stand to the northward, until the light bears east by north, they will then be drawing near the north land, and when it bears east half north it is time to tack, for when it bears east it will be shut in with the highland, and cannot be seen to the southward of east, and then they will be only one mile from the land, and if they are off Godbut River, Pointe des Monts will bear from them east by south two leagues distant. When ships are off St. Nicholas Harbour, and the light bearing east by north, they are in a good fair way from the north land.

The S.W. spitt of Manicougan Great Shoal, the ship and the lighthouse are then all in one line of bearing.

Lighthouse on S. W. Point of Anticosti-Keeper Lt. Harvey, H.P. Royal Navy. A lighthouse having been erected on the S.W. point of the Island of Anticosti, notice is hereby given that a grand revolving light, on the Argand principle, was shewn thereon, for the first time, on the 25th of August, 1831, and that the said light will continue to be shewn every night from sun-set to sun-rise, from the 25th day of March to the last day of December in each year. When ships are to the eastward of the lighthouse, they may safely stand toward the island until it bears N. N.W. by compass, they will then be in a good fair way, and if they wish to make more free with the land they can do so by their lead. The land trends from the lighthouse S.E. by south, or nearly so..

Lighthouse on Green Island in the River St. Lawrence, keeper, Mr. Robt. Noel Lindsay.-The Lantern of the Lighthouse on Green Island shows a light every evening from sun-set to run-rise the next morning, from the 15th day of April to the 10th day of December, inclusive; and the following are the bearings of it by compass from the respective places.
