Bhknton'h Rkki\—This isa dangt r-oiisreafon the coast of’ Rhode Bland, some miles easterly from Beaver Tail Bight, and North Hast from point Judith.There is, probably, no part of the roast from Newport eastward where a Bight ship would Be of more service to navigation than at this Reef; and we arc; glad to see some of our Citizen* waking from their long lathargic sleep, with reference to the importance of the subject, and bestirring themselves in a way that must ultimately result in securing to our coast the object desired. A petition will, we understand, he presented to the next lt;'ongress, asking an appropriation for a Bight fillip at the place referred to, with two lights, and otherwise properly provi* tied to assure tin; necessary protection to navigation. YVc shall take occasion to refer to this matter again, in future numbers of our paper ; but, in the mean time, we would suggest to our Commercial friends to he sure they are not found sleeping on their oars, until they have finally succeeded in accomplishing their object.
