Febuuahy 19,1850. ) Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston, reports that on the 22d of August last, being then bound, from Manilla to Boston, he discovered and beat through n passage among the Thousand Islands. Although these islands are at the eastern entrance to the Straits of Sunda, and, therefore in one of the great thoroughfares of the oaean, there is no accurate Biirvey of them, and the position assigned them on tlie charts is of doubtful accuracy. Captain Parsons determined the lattltude of the middle of the passage by a meridian altitude of tlio sun, and its longitude by bearings from the Soutli- Wntchcr. They are 5 deg. 26 min. S., 106 deg. 37 min. E. For farther information concerning this important discovery, 1 make tlie following extract of Captain Parson’s letter to me, with the remark that Cnpt. P. is represented to mo ns a navigator of skill and intelligence, whose statements urc, in every respect entitled to confidence. Auoust 22—Sea Account. “At 6 A. M., wind beading, stood for the Thousand Islands; nt 10 do. perceived a wide passage through them, stood for ,it. At 11 do. entered the passage with a boat ahead, with tho second officer in it. At Meridian, wind came ahead, which caused us to heat through the pnssnge, which was about 1 j miles wide. Lntitudo observed at noon, being then in tlio middle of the passage, was 5 deg. 20 min south; allowing tlie ship to lie 6 miles west of tlie South-Watcher, tlie longitude, at thr time of observation, would he 106 deg. 37 min.

The reefs which extend from these isl ands generally run east and west, mid can lie np- proacncd within u quarter of a mile.

Left 9 islands to the northward of the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the level of the sea, with three remarkable trees upon it, two of which are upon tlie ends, tlie other in tlie centro'of the island. This island is seen before enter ing the phssngc from the eastward, nnd is to he lett on the starboard hand. After getting through, saw the inssngo mentioned by (nontenant Harding of the Iritish Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19, 1830; also saw the four islands which the same gen tleman said lie left to the northward of him; the pas sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P.

Dover, Eng., Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels coming irom the westward, and bound to the Thames and Medway, are subject to heavy penalties if they do not hoist the usual signal for a pilot on arriving off Dungeness, and keep it displayed until the ship has passed the South Buoy of tho Brake, unless in the meantime n duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should have 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 lynd crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot cutters snow a large green light during the night, and display a flare up every 15 minutes. 4»N. B.—There are now no licensed bontmen ; their licenses have been loiigrfnce 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 cuse to the pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it has been decided in several cases, by the judge oi the County Court in Dover und Deal, that although the boat’s crew may have received tlio shipping money, or more, from the captain, it is still due to the pilot, and from him to the boatmen.” Nkuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted near the entrance of this bay, I take thewiberty of calling your attention to the fact, as.it will be oi great importance to vessels sailing on the North side of It will be noted that despatches going farther north than Washington, D.

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 tho vicinity of one of the most dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse is built on point Maternillos—long. 77 14, and lat. 40—of white limestone, nnd con easily be seen at twenty mile distance. It is to bo 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 $200,000 when finished. The lamp and machinery to be used are French, and were exhibited at the lute Fair in Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc ture is under the superintendence of Don J.uan Com- pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps oi Engineers. It is to he called ‘Colon,’ the name being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sen, about half-way up tlie tower, so ns to be seen some distance. The lighthouse will be of great utility , t to mariners in saving life and property.
