WASHINGTON. FEBftUARY 19, 1854 5
Sit:—Captain Parsons, of tbeship Amity,bfBoston,
report* that on tho 22d o}' August last being then
bound, from Manilla to Boston, he discovered and
beat through « passage among tho Thousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Strain of Suiida, miff,-therefore in or.o of the
great thoroughfares of the oetnn, there is no accurate
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtful accuracy.
Captain Parsons determined the lattitude of the
middle of tho passage by • meridian altitude of tue
suu, and its longitude by bearings from the South-
Watcher. They are 5 dog. 26 min. 8., 106 deg. 37
min. E.
For farther information concerning this important
discovery, I make the following extract ol Captain
Parson's letter to me, with the remark that Capti
P. is represented to me as a navigator of skill anu
intelligence, whose statements are, in every reaped
entitled to contidence.
August 22—Sea Account.
"At 8 A M„ wind heading, stood for the Thousand
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide passage Urougli
them, stbod for it. At 11 do. entered the passage
with a boat ahead, with the second officer in it. At
Meridian, wind came ahead, which cuused us to peat
through the pussoge, which was ubout 1} miles wide.
Latitude observed at noon, being then m the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. 26 min south; allowing
the ship to bo 6 miles west oi die riuilth-Watcher, the
longitude, at the time of observation! would be 10b
deg. 37 min. East. ... . . „
“Tuesday, August 23—Light airs irom the S. W.
and pleasant weutiier; beating through the passage
to tho westward, boat ahead oi the ship irom one
side to the other, and had nothing less than 11 iu-
tfioms, 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 np-
prouened within a quarter of a mile. Soundings will
then be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white snrtd,' from 18
fathoms, 2 boat’s length ahead,'had a cast of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about Jj
mile per hour; but ufter getting in the southwestern
part found the current setting SYV by W}W. 2
miles per hour. Left 9 islandsto the nortiiwurd of
the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level ol'the seu, with three remurkuble trees upon it,
two of which ure upon the ends, the other in the
centre of the island. This island is seep before enter
ing the passage from the eastward, and is to be left
on tile starboard hand. After getting through, saw the
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of (he
British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four isliuids which the same gen
tleman said he left fo the northward of him; the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
beurings of several islands.
West island boro NW..»..by W l \V.

"The remainder of islands to tho northward bore

Thousand Island, bore about 8. by E}E.
"At 9 P. M. came to anchor in 15 fathoms, oozennd
mud, current setting SW. by W. 2 miles per hour.
At 6 A. M. got under weigh with a light breeze from
Southwest island. At 8 A. M. bore due north 7 mile,
distunt, most weratem of Thousand Islands in siglitto

deg. 15 min. East.
Respectfully, Ac. M. F. MAURY.
Hon. Wm. Ballabd Preston,
Secretary of the Navy.
Dover, Eno., Jan. 15.—"The masters of vessels
coming from the westward, and bound to the Thames
and Medway, are subject to heavy pehalties if thdy do
not hoist the usual signal for a pilot on arriving otf
Dungeness, and keep it displayed until the ship lias
passed the South Buoy of the Brake, unless in the
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Porta pilot should
have coinoon board. Masters ure particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks flying, although they may have
taken a bontmau on hoard, and engaged his bout and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. Tho pilot
cutters show a large green light during the night, and
display a tiure up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen; their
licenses have been long since revoked, and the apt au
thorising their being granted repealed. Masters
should avoid being imposed upon by any persons pre
tending to have licenses.
“Masters should, oil no account, pay the shipping
money to the lioat’s crew, but in every case to the
pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
has been decided in several cases, by the judge of the
County Court iu 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
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bay, I tuke the liberty of
calling your attention to the fact, bb it will be of great
importance to vessels sailing on the North side of
the island. A couple cif English vessels lately arriv
ed here, having no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying off and on for 36
hours, und tlmt iu the vicinity of one of the most
dangerous reefs on the whole coast The Lightlioifse
is built on point Matemillos—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 Eugf) in
height, costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
Tho lamp aud machinery to he list'll are French, and
were exhibited at the?late Fair in Paris. It is now
being placed by a- French engineer. Tho whole stnic
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com-
pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ the name
being placed in lurge bronze letters, facing the sea,
about half-way up tile tower, so as to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse will be of great utility to
mariners in eavinglife and property. The reef known
here by the muiie of‘Real do ios C a Cal Hues’ has been
n fatal spot. It runs nearly North a m
twelve miles, extending out in some places a leRg ®
from the bench. In December. 1840, the New
leans ship Creole, from Bordcuux to the for mp '
phase, was lost here. The captain nnd more than j or
