and Estimate / N° 2 of 1860) = amounting to £258 · 18-6, a sum for which provision has been made in the Estimates for the year under the head of Miscellaneous Works.

The city harbor of Victoria being entirely shut out from seaward, the intelligence to be thus conveyed of shipping approaching the Island from various quarters will be most acceptable to the community, and in the case of vessels disabled, pilots wanted, or other circumstances of emergency, will prove of great and undoubted service.

I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's, most obedient Servant,
