SHOALS, ROCKS, ISLANDS AND DANGERS.
The following communication is from one of our
most intelligent and experienced shipmasters. Sa
lem Gazette, 12th Inst.
Enclosed is the memorandum of the situation of
the several shoals, rocks islands, and dangers, not laid
down in any chart or hooks within my knowledge.
The principal part of them I have collected from
newspapers, others have been communicated to me
by my friends, and some of them are from my own
observation. Thinking it* would be for the greater
safety of navigatorii to have them published togeth
er in a coluthn 'of your valuable paper, I hand them
to you for that purpose, knowing how cheerfully
you publish any thing that will promote the good of
commerce, and the safety of the sailor.

Washington. Fepruary 19,1850. 5
Sir;—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 22d of August last, being then
hound, from Manilla to BoBton, lie discovered and
beat through a passage among tho Thousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits of Sunda, and, therefore In one of the
great thoroughfares of the ocean, there is noneeurato
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtful accuracy.
Captain Parsons determined' I lie lattitudo ol me
middle of the passage by a moridinn altitude of the
sun, and its longitude by beariugs from the South-
YVatcher. They ore 5 deg. 26 min. S., 10b deg. 37
min. E. ...
For farther information concerning this important
discovery, I make the following extract ot Captain
Parson’s letter to me, with the remark that Copt.
P. is represented to mu as a navigator ot skill fna
intelligence, whose statements are, in every respect
entitled to confidence.
August 22—Sea Account.
“At 6 A. M„ wind heading, stood lor the Thousand
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide passage through
them, stood for it. At 11 do. entered the passage
with a hoot ahead, witli the second officer in it. At
Meridian, wind came ahead) which caused us to beat
through the passage, which was about miles wm 0 -
Latitude observed at noon, being then in the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. 26 min south; allowing
the ship to be 6 miles west of the South-Watcher, the
longitude, at the time of observation, would be 106
deg. 37 min. East. ,
“Tuesday. August 23—Light airs from the 9. YV.
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 il 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 nbout 3 miles,
cast and west, and S.-YV. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. The reel's which extend from these isl
ands generally run east and west, and can be ap
proached within a quarter of a mile. Soundings will
then be from 16 to 18 fathoms, wldte sand, from 18
fathoms, 2 boat’s length ahead, lind a cast of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. YV. nbout 1}
mile per hour; but after getting in the southwestern
part found the current setting SYV by YVJYV. 2
miles per hour/ Left 9islandsto the northward of
the ship, also one small island, nbout 4 feet above the
level ot the sea, with three remarkable trees upon it,
two of which are upon the ends, the other in the
centre of the island. This island is seen before enter
ing the passage from the eastward, and is to be left
on the starboard hand. After getting through, saw the
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands which the same gen
tleman sgid he left to the northward of him; the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
bearings of several islands.
YVest island bore NYV by YV J YV.
One next “ NYV j N.
One next “ N by YV.

“The remainder of islands to the northward bore

“At 9 P. M. fame to anchor in 15 fathoms, oozennd
mud, current setting SYV. by YV. 2 miles per hour.
At 6 A. M. got under weigh with a light breeze from
Southwest island. At 8 A. M. bore due north 7 mile,
’distant, most werstern of Thousand Islands in sight to
the southward SEjE: at meridian St. Nicholas

Secretary ol 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
Duageness, and keep it displayed until the ship hus
passed tlie 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 liave
takon a boatman on board, and engaged his 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 are 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 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 pay it twice. And it
has been deciijed in several cases, by the judge of the
County Court in Dover and Deal, that although the
boat's crew may have received tho shipping money,
or more, from the captain, it is Btill due. to the pilot*
and from him to the boatmen.”
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently eroceteij
near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
culling your attention to the fact, as it will be of great
importanoe to vessels ending on the North side of
tho island. A couple of English vessels lutely arriv
ed here, having n* knowledge of'such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying oil and on tor 36
hours, and that in the vicinity of one of the most
dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse
is built on point Maternillos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 49—of white limestone, and 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 icct (or 171 Eng.) in
height, costing nearly #200,000 when finished.
The lamp and machinery to be used are French, and
were exhibited at the late Fair in Fpris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under tlie superintendence of Don Juan Com-
‘pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to lie called ‘Colon,’ the name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about half-way up the tower, so as to be seen some
distance. Tlie lighthouse will be of great utility to
mariners in saving life and property'. The reef kn 0 " 11
here by the name of ‘Real de los G'ntahmes’ , r ‘‘ u
a fatal spot. It runs nearly North a o “as “m
twelve miles, extending out in some places a lc H g u q,
from the bench. In December, 1846, tlie New
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for nier
.place, was lost here. The captain and more than
ty passengers perished. The Same YVinter tlie gp
brig Zedora, Br. brigs Maid ot Mona, Terpsichore
and Achiever, worn all lost wi-liin a mile of where
tlie Creole struck. Point Maternillos is the startin''
point for veseela running down tlie channel, q’hc
dangerous passage between Ginger and YVolf Keys
on tlia bank, and Key Confines on the Culm Coast,
will not lie feared nuv more, for as soon us this is
finished the Government commences another on Key
Confines, to be similar in all respects to this on Mut-
texuillos.—Cor. ot tho Herald.
Notice to Mariners.—The following list of lights
