luoit iiitelttaent nod experienced shipmasters. Sa
lem Goiette, 12th iust.
Enclosed is tiie- irtomorandhin of the situation of
the several shoals, WBcfes islands, trnd dangers, not laid

The principal part of them I have collected from
newspapers, others have been communicated to me
by my friends, and some of them are from my own
observation, Thinking it would be for tile greater
safety of navigators to liftvo thorn published togeth

you publish any tiling that will promote the good of
commerce, ana the safety of the sailor.

Sir:—-Captain Parsons, of theshlp Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 22d of August last being then
bound, from Manilla to Boston, he discovered ana
beat through a passage among tho Thousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the .Straits of ft undo, and, therefore in one of me
gaeat thoroughfares of tho ocean, there is no accurate
survey of them, and the position ussigued them o
tho charts is of doubtful accuracy. „
Captain Parsons determined tho latitude o
middle of the passage by a meridian altitude o H*
sun, and its longitude by, bearings from the .
Watcher. They are 5 deg. 26. min. 8., 106 deg. .17
For farther Information concerning this
discovery, 1 make the following extract oi<aptein
Parson's letter to me, with the remark.thatCopt-
P. is represented to me a* a varignMr respect

and pleasant weather; beating through the passage
to the westward, boat ahead of the ship from one
side to the other, and had nothing lesg than 11 fa
thoms, and mostly from 16 to 18. Kept in a line
with the islands in beating through on both sides.
This passage, from the eastward, runs about 3 miles,
east and west, and 8. W. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. The reefs which extend from these isl
ands generally run'east and west, and can be ap-
(iroachcd within a quarter of a mile. Soundings will
then be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white sand, from 18
fathoms, 2 boat’s length ahead, had a cast ot 2 fefft.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about 1J-
mile per hour; but after getting in the southwestern
part found the current sotting flWbyWfW. 2
miles per hour, Left 9 islands to the northward oi
the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level of the sea, with three remarkable trees upon it,
two of which ure upon the ends, the other in the
centre of the island. ’Phis island is seen before enter
ing the pussage from the eastward, and is to be lett
n the starboard hand. After getting through, saw the
lassage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
Iritisn Royal Navy, wno passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands which tne same gen
tleman said he left to the northward of him; the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took tho

Dungeness, and keep it displayed until the ship has
passed tho South Buoy of the Brake, .unless in the
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Porta pilot should
havo come on board. Masters are particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks flying, although they may have
taken a boatman on board, and engaged his boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot
cutters snow a largo green light during the night, and
display a flare up every 15 minutes.
••N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen; their
licenses hare been long since revoked, and the act au
thorising their being granted repealed. Masters
should avoid being imposed upon by any persons pre
tending to have licenses.
“Masters should, on no account, pay the shippmg
money to the bout's crew, but in every case to the
lilot only, or they w*ll have to pay ft twice. And it
tas been decided in several cases, bjr the judge of the
County'Court in Dover and Deal, that although the
boat's crew may have received the shipping money,
or more, from the captain, It is still due to the pilot,
and from him to the boatmen.’’
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
„jy notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to the tact, as it will be of great
importance to vessels Bailing on the North side of
the Island. A couple of English vessels lately arriv
od here, having no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying off and on for 36
hours, and that in the vicinity of one of the most
dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse
is built on point MaterniUos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 40—of white limestone, and can easily be seen at
twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first
time, on the first of May. 1 believe it is the highest
in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 En|.) in
’ ight, costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
_ .e lamp and machinery to be used are French, and
were exhibited at the late Fair in Paris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Cora-
pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ the name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about nall'-way up the tower, so as to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse will be of great utility to
mariners in saving life and property. The reef known
here by tho name of ‘Real de los Catalanes’ has been
a fatal spot It runs nearly North a n "
twelve miles, extending but in some places a leag Uc
from the beach, in December, 1846, the New 0r

place, was lost here. The captain and more than f 0 j..
ty passengers perished. The same Winter the g p

and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where
the Creole struck. Point MaterniUos is the St*,

And, lastly, toll them that we are doing business

are compelled to sell low.
