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. West island bore NW by YV J W. , One next “ NW j N. Ono next “ N by IV. One next “ North. “The remainder of islands to the northward bore about NE.j K.

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.
