B.—There are now no licensed boatmen; their licenses have been long since revoked, and the act au thorising their being granted repealed.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 shipping money to the boat’s crew, but in every case to the pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it lias been decided in several cases, by 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, ami from him to the boatmen.” Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8—Not having observed any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted ncur the entrance of tliis bay, I take the liberty of calling your attention to the fact, ns it will be oi great importance to vessels sailing nn the North side oi the island. A couple of English vessels lately arriv ed here, having no knowledge of such a work, were much confused, one of them lying oil and on lor 36 hours, and that in the vicinity ot one of the most dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse is built on point Muternillos—long. 77 14, and lat. i>l 40—ot 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. I believe it is the highest in America, being 186 ,Spanish feet (or 171 Eng.) in height, costing nearly $*300,000 when finished. The lamp and machinery to be used are French, nnd were exhibited at the late Fair iu Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com- paznno, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps ot Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ the name being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea, about naif-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 hero by the name of ‘Real de los Catalanos’ has been a total spot It runs nearly North a ™ twelve miles, extending out in some places n from the beach. In December, 1846,- the New Q r . leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the ft>r mer pluee, was lost here. The captain mid more than f or . ty passengers perished. The same Winter the gp. brig Zedera, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where the Creole struck. Point Maternillos is the starting point for veseels running down . the channel. The dangerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Keys on tho hank, anu Key Confines on the Cuba Coast, will not be feared any more, for as soon as this is finished the Government commences another on Key Confines, to be similar in all respects to this on Mut- temillos.—Cor. ot the Herald.
