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. ■ Respectfully, &c. M. F. MAURY. Hon. WM. BALLABD'PhESTON, Secretary ot the Navy. 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. ternillos.—Cbr. of the Herald.

Campbell at Havana, please insert, as it will be usetul for ship’ masters. ’ Neuvitas, on St. Maternillos hit 21 39 30 N Ion 77* 11 from Greenwich. The light is 191 feet above the level oi the sea.
