Nautical Information.
National ODSKRVATonv, ?
Washington. February 19,1850. 5
Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the. ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 22d of August lost, being then
bound, from Manilla to Boston, he discovered find
beat through b. pnssage among theThousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits ‘of'Bundn, and, therefore in’one of the
great thorouglifurcs of the ocean, there is no accurate
survey of them, ami the. position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtful accuracy.
Cnptai#Parsons^determined the lnttltudo of the
middle of the paMage by a meridian altitude of the
sun, and its longiuide by hearings from the South-
Wutchor. They are 5 deg. 26 min. 0., 106 deg. 37
min. E. v
For farther information concerning this important
discovery, I make the following extract ot Captain
Parson’s letter to me, with the remark that Capt.
P. is represented to me ns n navigator of skill and
intelligence, whose statements are, in every respect
entitled to confidence.
, August 22—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 the second officer in it. At
Meridian, wind came ahead, which caused us to beat
through the passage, which was about 1} miles wide.
Latitude observed at noon, being then in the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. 26 min south; allowing
the siiip to be 6 miles west of the South-Watcher, the .
longitude, at the time of observation, would be 106
deg. 37 njin. East.
“Tuesday. Ajigust23—Light airs from the 8. W.
and pleasant weather; beating through the passage
to the westward, boat ahead of Jhe ship from gne
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,
east and west, and 8. W. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. The reefs which extend ftoin these isl
ands generally run east and west, ana can be ap
proached within n quarter of a mile. Soundings will
then be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white sand, from 18
fathoms, 2 boat’s length uhead, had a cast of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about 1j
mile per hour; but after getting in the southwestern
part found the current setting SVV by YVjW. 2
miles per hour. Left 9islandsto 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 the ends, tho other in the
centre of the island. This island is seen before enter
ing the passage from' the castw s.rd, and is to be left
on the starboard linnd. After getting through, saw the
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also suw the four islands which the same gen-
tlemiin said he left to the northward of him; the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
beurings of several islands.
West island bore NW by W } W.
One next “ NW IN.
One next “ /N by YV.
One next “ North.
“The remainder of islands to the northward bore
about NE.J E. Most southern and western of the
Thousand Islnnd, bore about S. by EJE.
“At 9 P. M. came to anchor in 15 fathoms, oozeand
mud, current setting SYV. by YV. 2 miles per hour..
At 6 A. M. got under weigh with a light breeze from
SoiAliwest island. At 8 A, M: bore due north 7 mile,,
distant, most werstern of Thousand Islands in'sightto
tho southward SE}E: at meridian St. Nicholas
point SYVi-S. YVestend of Pulo bay S}W. Lati
tude observed 5 deg. 38 min. South. Longitude fOS
deg. 15 min. East.

Dover, Eng., Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels
coming from 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 the Brake, unless ip the
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should
have come on bonrd. 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 the shore. The pilot
cutters snow a large green light during the night, and
display a ilure up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen ; their
licenses have been long since revoked, and the act au
thorising their being granted repeated. Mrflsters
should avoid being imposed upon by any persons pre
tending to have licenses. ’ •
“Masters shpifld. on no account, pay the shipping
money to the boat’s crew, but in every case to the
f iilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
ias been decided m 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, froyi the 'captain, it is stil^ due to the pilot,
and from him to the boatmen." •
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to the fact, os it Will be of great
importance to vessels sailing on the NoHh side of
tlie island. A couple of English vessels lately arriv
ed here, {laving no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying off and on lor 36
hours,, and that in tho vicinity ot one of the most
dangerous reefs oil the whole const . The Lighthouse
is built on point Mntemillos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 40—of white limestone, and can easily tie seen at
twenty mile distance.- It is to be lighted for the first
time, 011 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.
Tile lamp and machinery to be used are French, and
were exhibited at the late Fair in I’uris. It is now
being placed bv a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com-
paznno, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ the name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about lialf-way up the tower, so us to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse Will be of grant utility to
mariners in saving life and property. The reef t n ow n
here by the name of ‘Real de los Catalaues’ ’ een
a fatal spot. It runs nearly North a o “ as 1 m
twelve mites, extending out ill some places a Iea g,{^
from the beach. In December, 1846, the New, q
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for mt , r
place, wus lost here. Tile captain and more than p or .
ty passengers perished. The same YVinter the g p
brig Zedora, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore
and Achiever, were all lost within a mite of where
the Creole struck. Point Muterniilos is the starting
point for veseels running down the channel. The
dangerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Revs
on til.) bank, and Key Confines on tho Cuba Coust
WJU not be feared any more, for ns soon as this is
finished theGovernment commences another on Rev
Confines, to be similar in all respects to this on Mat.
