NOTIFICATION.

CECIL C. SMITH,

1. The attention of the Owners of Steam-launches or other Vessels is called to Section 19 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1854, which requires all Vessels exceeding Fifteen tons burden to obtain Certificates of Registry under the provisions of that Act.

4. By Article 9 of the said Ceder, boats not carrying fixed lights, are to carry "a Lantern having "a green slide on the one side and a red slide on the other side; and, on the approach of or to other "Vessels, such Lantern shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision, so that the green light' "shall not be seen in the port side, nor the red light in the starboard side.

"Boats when at anchor or stationary shall exhibit a bright white light.

NOTICE.

H. G. THOMSETT, Harbour Master, &c.

The Iron Beacon off Messrs. BURROWS' Wharf, Wanchai, has been removed and replaced by two white Conical Buoys, each one marked ROCKS.

In a direct line between these two Buoys is a pinnacle rock with only one foot of water on it at low water springs; House-boats, &c., will therefore do well habitually to avoid passing between the Buoys, and to keep either outside or well inside of both of them.

Harbour Department, Hongkong, 25th September, 1873.

NOTICE.

ALFRED LISTER,

Acting Harbour Master.

Owners of Tenements assessed to the Police, Lighting, Water, and Fire Brigade Rates, are informed that the Rates for the Fourth Quarter of the year 1873 are payable in advance, during and within the month of October next.

They are also requested to take notice that defaulters to payment after the period specified, are liable to be sued in the Court of Summary Jurisdiction.
