Fr.iinuAav IB, 1850. ) Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston, reports that on the 22d of August last, being then hound, from Manilla to Boston, he discovered and beat through a passage among the Thousand Islands. Although these islands arc at the eastern entrance to tho Straits of Hunda, and, therefore in one ot the great thoroughfares of the ocean, there is no accurate survey of them, and the position assigned them oil the charts is of doubtful accuracy. , Captain Parsons determined the lattitude ot n - middle of tile passage by a meridian altitude ot sun, and its longitude by bearings from the Mou - Watcher. They are 5 deg. 26 tnin. 8., 10b deg. For farther information concerning this important discovery, I make the following extract o L Parson’s letter to me, With the remark P - P. is represented to me as a navigator of^ skill and ....—IK ...... ,h,t,.n,nn 1 K nr,'.

DovEn, Eno., Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels coming from the westward, nnd bound to the Thames and Medway, are subject to heavy penalties if they do not hoist tlie usual signal for a pilot on arriving off Dungenesa, and kcop it displayed until the ship has passed the South Buoy of the Brake, unless in the meantime a 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 and crew to procure a pilot from th6 shore. 1 In) pilot cutters show a large green light during the night, and display a flare up every 15 minutes. . i»N. B.—Thero are now no licensed bontmfcn; then* licenses huve been long since revoked, and the act au thorising their being granted repealed.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 has 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, and from him to the boatmen.” . - m , Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Ndt having observed any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted near the entrance of this bay, i take the liberty o calling your attention to the fact, as it will be of great importance to vessel j sailing on the North elao 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 oh and on lor Jo hours, and that iu the vicinity of one oi the most dangerous reel's on the whole coast. The Lighthouse is built on point MaterniUos—long. 77 14, unci lut. 21 40—of white limestone, nnd can easily be seen at twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted lor the hrst time, on the tirst of May. I believe it is the highest in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 height, cot ling nearly $200,000 when finished. The lump and machinery to be used are trench, atu were exhibited at the late Fair in Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer. The whole stnic- turels under the superintendence of Don Jumi bom- pazuno, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps ol Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ the name being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea, P IPORTED LIQUORS.—o l>ipe» s 'f® 4 half pipes and 10 quarter casks Otard and Cus till ian Brandies, entitled to debenture.
