SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING THE PORT OF INVERG ARGILL. From the Provincial G-ooernmont Gazette, Aug. 7 Vessels bound for New River should steer for the north end of Point Island, around which, to within a cable's length, there is not less than five fathoms water. A sirmll patch is said to exist about a quarter of a mile off in a westerly direction, but the pilots have not been able to find less than five fathoms water on it, hard sand bottom. Outside the Bar, in six fathoms, is moored a spiral-shaped black buo£ r beaiing from the north end" of the Island north half a mile. Steer for this buoy, and as yon approach it the leading beacons, painted white, will come on with each other bearing from you E. £- S. Keep the beacons in one, leaving the black buoy on your port hand, which will lead you over the bar in fifteen feet at low water, spring tides. The breadth of the bar is about a good cable's length, and insi.le of it, in four fathoms, is a spiral-shaped white buoy, marking the south side of the channel. The course from this buoy, to about two .idles' length above the Pilot Station, is E JA, and from thence, to about four cables' length farther up, Eby N. The channel then gradually bends to the northward until past the Bombay Rock. The Pilot Station is situated between the leading beacons, and, except in heavy gales, a pilot will board the vessel abreast of the station, but, should the wind and sea be too strong for him to put off, the shipmaster by attending to t!".e To'.loa iiig directions, may ue auie himself to conduct his vessel to a place of safety : — The channel is marked by white buoys on the starboard or sonlh side, and by black buoys on the port or north side. Keep midway between the black and white buoys. About three cables' length below the Bombay Rock lies a small rock called the " Guiding Star Rock," with only four feet water over it. A white luioy has been placed on the west side of this rock, in twelve feet water The Sand Spit, on the opposite side of the Channel, has been advancing into it during the Jast six months, and at present the breadth of the passage between the Spit and the rock is so narrow that it would not be prudent for a stranger to run through. It would be safer to anchor abreast of the second black buoy, above the Pilot Station, where a vessel with good ground tackle could ride in comparative safety. The leading mark to pass midway between the rock and the Spit is: — Keep the high hummock on the extreme end of Sandy Point a soil's breadth open to the eastward of the iron white beacon on Bombay Rock, bearing N E | N. When abreast of the white buoy, keep off .i little, so as not to shave the point of the Spi' j too close ; a N by E half E course will then ! lead von through between the Bombay Rock and the black buoy on the opposite side of the channel. On the west side of the Bombay Hock is placed an iron beacon, surmounted by a barrel painted white. The top of the beacon is fifteen feet above low water mark, and the rock projects from the be.icon twenty feet W N \V into the channel ; immediately beyond there is eighteen feet water. The course from abreast of this beacon to the second white buoy as you proceed upwards is N E by N, and from thence' to the third white buoy N E, but allowance must be made for the set of the tide, which runs through the blind channel and strikes across the ship channel, between the Bombay Rock and the first white buoy above it. The ilood setting east, the ebb west. T!ie best anchorage for a stranger to take is abreast of the third white buoy from the Bombay Rock, letting go the anchors nearest to the S W side, as it is pretty steep, too. The depth of water near the shore is three, and, in midchannel, five fathoms — good holding ground. It is high-water full and change at the Pilot Station at 12h. 30.n., and the rise of tide from six to eleven feet, according to the winds and state of the tides ; westerly winds setting the tides up. A flagstaff has been erected on Steep Head, on which will be hoisted, on and after the 15th August, 1863, tidal signals, nearly the same as shown at Lonsdale»Point, Port Phillip, viz. : — BETWEEN SUNRISE AND SUNSF.T. During the first quarter Hood, a blue flag halt-mast high. During the second quarter flood, a blue flag at the mast-head Dur'mgthe third quarter Hood, No 7 Marryatt's, half-mast high. During the last quarter flood, No 7 Marryatt's at the mast-head. EBB TIDE. During first quarter, a blue flag half-mast high, with a ball underneath. During second quarter, a blue flag at mast-head, with a ball underneath. During third quarter, No 7, Marryatt's, halfmast high, with a ball underneath. Last quarter, No 7, Marryatt's, at the masthead, with a ball underneath. When the sea is high on the bar, a black ball will be hoisted at the north yardarm, in addition to the tidal signals ; but, when it is unfic for a vessel to enter the harbor, the tidal signals will not be shown, but two black balls will be hoisted at the north yardarm. Communication maybe had with vessels at sea, by means of Marryatt's signals, at the south yardarm. Marryatt's signals, at the north yardarm,. will be intended for the pilots at the station. ,' : ; Masters of vessels should not" run for*the harbor during the ebb tide, unless with a good commanding breeze, smooth water, and with a vessel easily steered. The bearings and courses given are by compass, and the soundings, at low water spring tides. J. B. GREIG,
