The Southern Cross says:—lt would be a great convenience to the public generally if some means existed of signalling the arrival of our steamers, should they happen to come in during the night time. So many persons are interested in them that large numbers may be seen waiting, when the mails are expected to arrive, up to a late hour, at the end of the wharf. A Bingle lantern hoisted at the flagstaff as soon as any Bteamer became visible from the signal house would be a very effective, and at the same time inexpensive, public convenience ; and would be seen by persons living in the suburbs, who at present often wait in town for fear of missing the arrival of the steamer. A single light would be sufficient for this purpose, but there is no reason why a regular code of night signals should not be introduced. It does not require many lanterns to make a very complete one, and such an arrangement might, under unforeseen circumstances, become of the last importance.
