Lighthouse on the Goodwin Sands. — This great national undertaking, a fixed Lighthouse on the Goodwin Sands, is now in progress, under the management and patent of Mr. William Bush, civil engineer. It is Mr. Bush's intention, in the erection of this light, to float and sink iron cassons of from 30 to 50 feet diameter, and to excavate the sand from the internal part of the casson by means of air-chambers, until he arrives at the chalk-rock, in order to obtain, a permanent and solid foundation. These cassons will be filled with concrete and masonry work, and upon this base a column of about 140 feet high, for "the Lighthouse, will be railed. A number of men are now at work at Deal preparing the first casson, and before the equinoctial gales come on, we understand that there is every probability of securing a solid and permanent base.— London Naval and Military Gazette, June 26.
