MORNING NEWS. [From tho Beaufort, S. C., Poet.] A. largo and respectable meeting of the cit- izons of the Parish of St. Helena, was conven ed at the Town Hall in Beaufort, on Saturday tho 6th iust; for the purpose of testifying in a Huitablo manner, their sense of tho severe be reavement which they have suffered,in the death of tho lute lamented John Caldwell Calhoun; On motion, Edmund Rhett Esq., was called to the chair, and John M. Baker, Esq., by re quest acted os Secretary Tho Chairman then invited the attention of those prosout to the consideration of the sub ject which lmd called them together; and in eo doing paid a just tribute to tho character of tho deceased. B. J. Johnson, Esq., then moved that aoom nrtttca of five be appointed to prepare and ubmit-a suitable Preamble and Resolutions for tho consideration of the meeting ; and on the adoption of the motion, tho chair appoint ed on the committee tho following gentlemen. B. J. Johnson, Capt. John Fripp, Henry M, Stuart, Dr, John A. Scott and Joseph D. Pope, Esq. After an absence of a few moments, the committee submttcd tho following Preamble and Resolutions: t Whilst the Nation has lost, yi John Calwell Calhoun, a Statesman of unsurpassed ability and integrity. South Carolina Mourns for him « a bereaved parent, for her noblest and most J^.f> uythe beloved child. In the whole of his exalted career, she sympathised with approval and ad miration ; but it wus in her hour of peril, when her fortunes, and her honor, were at their ■extremost hazard, that she learned to know, to esteem, and to love him, with a zeal and fidel ity unequalcd iu tho history of any people. He never failed her, and she never failed him ! Their hearts and minds moving in entire uni son, his glory became her glory. This peculiar identification of the State with tho man, as it constituted the most striking characteristic of their past connexion, now adds tho deoper wain to their forced separation. South Carolina counts it her highest pride— not that she gave hirth to, nor oven that she nurtured John C. Calhoun; but that she ap preciated, elevated, and sustained him. In the consciousness of possessing many sons wor thy of honor, she suffered neither jealousy nor obloquy to restrain her from pouring out the full measure of her approbation with unwaver ing adherence upon him, who, in tho noble employment of powerful intellect in develop ing the fundamental principles of political truth, surpassed them all.. She thought it glo rious to follow hard upon him, who followed hard upon truth. For as the vehement desire to discover and elucidate those elementary principles in whicli truth iies hid, was the most marked feature of the intellectual character of him whom we mourn; so that intellect with him took the place of passion, and whilst others were swayed by impulse, the conceptions of the understanding alone goyerned his will But whilst Suudi Carolina mourns his death sha,fiwls high consolation in the remembrance Nautical Information. Dover, Eng., Jan. 16.—“Tho musters 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 Dutigcncss, and keep it displayed until the ship has passed the South Buoy of tho Brake, unless in the meantimo 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 onboard, and engaged his boat ana crew to procure a pilot from the shore. 1 he pilot cutters snow a large gTccn light during tho night, ana display a flare up every 16 minutes. , "N.B.—There arc now no licensed boatmen; their licenses have been long since revoked, and the act a - thorislng their being granted repealed. Maste should ovoid being imposed upon by any persons pre tending to have licenses. .. “Masters should, on no account, pny the shipping money to the boat’s crew, but in every cuse to t te pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. 1 has been decided In several caMjroy the judge of County Court In Dover and Deal, that although tlu 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.” . , Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8—Not having observed any notice of a new Lighthouse recently’ erecoted near tho entrance of this bay, I take the libel ty of calling your attention to the tact, as it will be of great importance to vessels sailing on the North side ot 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 off and on ior .lb hours, and that in the vicinity of one oi the most dangerous reefs on the whole coast The Lighthouse is built oh point Matemillos—long. 77 14, and lat. 21 40—of white limestone, and can easily be seen at twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted tor the first time, on the first of May. I believe it is the highest in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 Eng.) in iieight, costing Eearly $200,000 when finished. The lamp and machinery to be used are French, and were exhibited at the late Fair in Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Lom- lazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps oi Engineers. It is to be 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. The lighthouse will be of great utility to in saving life and property. The reef ] tn own le name of‘Ileal de los Catalanes’ , oun .. fatal spot. It runs nearly North a o has twelve miles, extending out in some places a i ea Bue from tlife beach. In December, 1846, the New Q r . leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for mer place, was lost here. The captain and more than f or . i;y passengers perished. The same Winter the Sp. brig Zedora, Hr. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where the Creole struck. Point Matemillos is the starting -lointfor veseels running down the channel. The _angerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Keys on tho hank, and Key Confines on the Ouhu Coast, will not be feared any more, for as soon as this is finished the Government commences another on Key Confines, (o be similar in all respects to ting, on Mat- temillos.—Cor. of the Herald. Notice to Mariners.—The following list of lights erected, or being erected on the Island of Cuba, for whidb I am indebted to our Consul, Gen. Campbell, at Havana, please insert, os it will bo useful for ship masters. Neuvitas, on St Matemillos lat 21 39 30 N. Ion 77 11 from Greenwich. The light is 191 feet above the level of the sen.
