The flash of the lighthouse at Cape Trafalgar has recently been altered, and probably the new flash was only operating on the night of the loss for the first or second time. It is in-!! *!, °u t that both lighthouses show flashes within 15 seconds, and that f?'™! 8 a difference only in the length of the stops, so that these stops must be v!!!! r !t-ff! y observed, a matter which is very difficult in foggy and rainy weather The possibihty of confounding the two lighthouses is especially dangerous, becfJS?

Trafalgar should be reconsidered, and, if necessary, altered. pJdI D ? L T^ SEX . AT MOTUIHI. The Lln ® steamer Middlesex arrived d£ S y afternoon i roln London.
