LioiiTHoubE on Kino's Island.-At a meet-ing ot the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce held last week, a letter «as rea! from the Adelaide Chamber.in replytooneinviting their co-operation in promoting the erection of a Lighthouse on King's Island, m which it is stated that '* The Chamber, while agreeing that a light on King's 'Island would afford considerable security to the .trader? between Victoria, Van Diemen's Land, and New South Wales, are * of opinion that the ad. ,yantages to the trade of this' colony are at present so slight in degree, and remote in anticipation,that they do not feel j jstified in recommending that any portion of funds available, or to be voted, for the , purpose of lighting the coasts, should be devoted "' to the erection of a lighthouse on King's Island."

The letter goes on to state that the chamber is of i jopinion that independent action in the erection of

lighthouses will lead to the most satisfactory results and that at all tiroes it would be most advisable for each colony to hold exclusive control of its own lighthouses." , Thp chamber are also of opinion that " lights on the coast should bo contributed to by all vessels passing'them in their course," and thal " in the collection ol these dues atrangements might be made with the Customs of the other co-lonies, or which could again be reciprocated by

South Australia." .
