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. One next “ NW AN. One next “ N ..by \V, One next “ North. "The remainder of islands to tho northward bore about NE.) E. Most southern and western of the 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 the southward SE}E: at meridian Bt.

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.
