SIR, The Light Pilot and Navigation Board having, in attention to the Treasury Minute, dated the 5th instant, taken into con- sideration the subject of the best time for the first exhibition of the Light from the New Lighthouse at Newcastle, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the Honourable the Finance Minister, that they would advise that the Light should be first exhibited on the 1st January 1858, and that notice to this effect, in the accompanying Form, be published in the Government Gazette, and transmitted to the proper authorities in England, India, and other quarters, by the next mail Steamer.
2. The Board also think it desirable that a notice should be transmitted, at the same time, of the intention of the Government to erect a New Lighthouse at the Inner South Head, and they are of opinion, that until the time for the first exhibition of the Light from it be determined, the accompanying notice will be sufficient to give publicity to the intention of the Government.—I have, &c.,
