NOTICE TO MABINERS-The following is the position of Clipperton's Rock, in the North Pacific Ocean, the position of which is marked doubtful in Norie's chart:-" Sunday, June 9th, 1850, sea account. At 5h. 30m a m, discovered a rock,

bearing W.N.W., five or six miles distant, 60 or 70 feet above the surface. Its appearance was that of a ship under double-reefs, with head to the south. There is a reef off the north end, ex-tending a quarter of a mile, and another on the south end half that extent. They must be near the surface, as the day was very smooth, and the breakert could be seen very distinctly from the ship's main-top. At noon our lat. 10° 6' N., and 108° 52' W., at which time the island bore N N W by compass, seen from tho ship's mizen top, 15 miles distant. Variation of compass about half a point, which makes the lat. of the rock 10° 20' N., and Ion. 108° 56' W. As this rock is liable to be fallen in with by vesseIs from California, Peru, or Chili, the writer submits this information for tho benefit of navigators who may be bound for California.-SAMUEL C. JONES, Mate of the ship ' Harris,' Boston, October 21,

1850."
