New Light House
The lamps in the Lighthouse recently erected on the Sand Reef near the Eastern ballast ground, we omitted to mention, were lighted on the 1st instant, and each following night; the light is brilliant and can be seen from all points in the bay. Capt. James Clark, the oldest Queen's Pilot, at this Port, has been appointed Light Keeper, and is the right man in the right place; few however would care to exchange places with him, in his lonely and cheerless situation.
