Nautical Information.
NationalOhservatory, /
Washington. Feukuahy 19, 1850. j
Sir:—Captain Parsons, of tho ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on file 22d of August last, being then
bound, lrorn Manilla to Boston, he discovered and
beat through a passage among the Thousand Islands.
Although those islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits of Suifda, and, therefore in ono of the
great thoroughfares of tho ocean, there is no accurate
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtful accuracy,
Captain Parsons determined the lnttitude of the
itddle of the passage by u meridian altitude of tho
sun, and its longitude by bearings from the South-
Watcher. They are 5 deg. 26 min. S., 106 deg. 37
min. E.
For farther information concerning this important
discovery, I make the following extract of Captain
Parson's Tetter to me, with the remark that OapL
P. is represented to me as a navigator of skill and
intelligence, whose statement" are, in every respect
entitled to confidence.
August 23—Sea Account.
“At 6 A. M„ wind heading, stood for the Thousand
Islands; at 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 ns to beat
through the passage, which was about 1 j miles wide.
Latitude observed at noon, being then in the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. 26 min south; allowing
the ship to bo 0 miles west of the South-Watcher, the
longitudo, at tho time of observation, would be 106
deg. 37 min. East.
“Tuesday. August 23—Light airs from the S. W.
and pleasant weather; beating through the passage
to the westward, boat ahead of the ship from one
side to the other, and had nothing less 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,
cast and west, and S. W. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. The reefs which extend from these isl
ands generally run oast and west, and can be ap
proached 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 of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about If
mile per hour; but after getting in tlio southwestern
part found the current setting SW by YVJYV. 2
miles per hour. Left 9 islands to tho northward of
the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level of the sea, with three remarkable trees upon it,
two ef which Rre upon tho ends, the other in the
centre of the island. This island is seen before enter
ing the passage from tho eastward, und is to lie left
on tlie starboard hand. After gettirig through, saw the
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
British Roynl Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands which the same gen
tleman said he left to the northward of him; the pus-
sago was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
beurings of several islands.

Dover, Eng,, Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels
coming from the westward, and bound to the Thames
and Medway, nre 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 the Brake, unless in the
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Porta pilot should
have come on board. Masters are particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks tlying, although they may have
taken- a hontmao, on board, and engaged nia boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot
cutters show a large green light during the night, and
display a flare up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There nre 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 persona 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
ha* been decided in several cases, by the judge of tho
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,
nnd from him to the boatmeu.”
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ercceted
near tho entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to the fact, as it Will be of great
importance to vessels sailing on the North side of
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 for 36
hours, and that In the vicinity of one of the most
dangerous reefs on tho whole coast. Tho Lighthouse
is built on point Maternillos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 40—of white limestone, nnd 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 leet (or 171 F.ug.) in
height, costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
The lamp and machinery to be used nre French, nnd
were exhibited at the late Fair in Pnris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com-
puzono, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps ot
Engineers. It is to he called ‘Colon,’ tlie name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about halt-way up tlie tower, so as lobe seen some
distance. The lighthouse will be of gloat utility to
mariners in saving life and property. 1'he reef ^ow n
here by the name of ‘Real do los (fatalanes’ een
a fatal spot. It runs nearly North a 0 lias n, n
twelve miles, extending out in some places a leag,^
from the beach. In December, 1846, the New Q r
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for raer
place, was lost here. Tlie captain and more thnn f or .
ty passengers perished. The same Winter tlie g.,.
brig Zedorn, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore
and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where
tho Creole struck. Point Maternillos is tlio startine
point for vcseels limning down the channel, (pii?
dangerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Kevs
on tno bank, and Key Confines on the Cuba Const,
will not be feared any more, for ns soon us this is
finished the Government commences another on Key
Confines, to be similar in all respects to this on Mnt-
temillos.—Cor. of the Herald.
