The construction of the Bean Rock lighthouse is being rapidly pushed forward. The foundation is quite completed, and is a solid, compact mass, bi aced together with bars of iron, and which no storm is ever likely to affect. The late heavy gale which committed so much damage a few days ago, passed oyer it harmlessly, and no fear need therefore be entertained of its safety in in the very fiercest of weather. The t-ower and beacon are now about to be erected, and the whole '» .will be coru-rJst-ed in a very short time. It will be a very great boon to vessels entering tL'.s harbor at night time, for they will then be able— even strangers —to come up in any weather.—Ksw Zealand He-t-ajd, April 0.
