Niwy CoalJELulk. — The work of dismasting the large ship", which has recently arrived here to be used -us a coal hulk by the Panama Company, is being rapidly proceeded with ; many of the spars are already down,' and the remainder will shortly follow. As she -will hold about 1,200 tons of coals, the company will be enabled to keep a sufficient supply by them to last during a iong continuance of easterly winds The fact of so large a vessel being sent by the company to be used here for the purpose we have mentioned, indicates that they intend to make this port their principal coaling station in these waters. Leadikg Lights xsn Beacon foe Newcastle, N.S.W.— Leading lights for entering, and also leading lights for taking the north channel, will lie exhibited ■ou and after Tuesday, Ist Slay, 1866. The two fairway lights for entering (red and bright) will be shown from beacons 228 feet apart, in a S.W. i S. and N.E. £ N. direction, erected on the hill at the back of the town. Those for taking tlie north channel, also red bright, will be shown from beacons erected on the ■breakwater in the vicinity ol the old Bull beacons, at a -distance of 100 feet apart, in a W. by N. and E. by S. direction. When the lights are in line, the bright -will be the uppermost and the red the lowermost of the two. In the daytime, however, the order of colors vill be reversed, the upper beacons painted red and •the lower ones white. The lower of the two obelisks at present used for the leading mark in will be removed, ,as will be the remnant of ihe Cull beacons oa on the breakwater. In entering the port at night great caution will be necessary, in consequence of the strength of the tide, and due allowance will have to be made for ebb or flow, on sighting the north channel lights, and about to alter course from S.W. -J H. •with the fairway lights in one, to W. by N., the direction for a vessel to steer to keep the north channel lights in line to gain an anchorage in the north harbor.
