Air:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 22d of-August Insb being then
hound from Manilla to Boston, he discovered und
beat through a passage among the Thousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits of Bunds, end, therefore in one oi the
great thoroughfares of the ocean, there Is no accurate
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtful accuracy.
Cnntain Parsons determined tjie attitude of the
middle of the passage by a meridian altitude of the
sun, and its longitude by bearings from the Soutli-
Watcher. They are 5 deg. 2G min. 8., 10b deg. .37
nrin. E.
For farther information concerning this important
discovery, I make tlio following extract ol Captain
Parson’s letter to'me, with the remark that Capt
P. Is represented to mo as n riavigntor 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 tho Thousand
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide passage through
them, stood for .ib At 11 do. entered tile passage
with a boat ahead, with the second officer in it. At
Meridian, wind cutne ahead, whieli caused us to beat
through the passage, which was about 1} miles wide.
Latitudo observed at noon, being then in the middlo
of the pussage, 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.
"Tajksday. August 23—Light aira from the S. W.
and pleasant weather; beating through the passage
to tlie westward, boat ahoud of the ship from one
side to the other, and had nothing less tliun 11 fu-
tiioms, and mostly from 16 to 18. Kept in a line
with the Islands in heating through on both sides.
This passage, from the eastward, runs about 3 miles,
cast and west, and 8. W. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. The reefs 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, white sand, from 18
fathoms, 2 bout's length ahead, had a cast of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found the cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about 1}
mile per hour; but after getting in the southwestern
pnrt found the current setting 8W by \V}W. 2
miles per hour. Left 9 islands to the northward of
the ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level of the sea, with three remarkable trees upon ib
two of which arc 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, suw the
S assage inentioued by Lieutenant Harding of the
ritish Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands whieli the some gen
tleman said he left to the northward of him; the pas
sage wus about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
bearings of several islands.
West island bore NW by W } W.
One next “ .NW IN.

“The remainder of islands to tlie northward bore

Thousnnd Island, bore about 8. by E}E.
“At 9 P. M. came to anchor in 15 fathoms, ooze and
mud, current setting SW. by W. 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,

person, l feel perfectly secure in offeilng it to
the public as a safe and certain cure for Rheumat-

Mr. W. G. Fnlligant—Sir : This is to certify
that l was severely attacked with Rheumatism

my business. Having been recommended to try
your Rheumatic Liniment, or Pain Killer, I did
so, and was freed from all pain in a shorttime. 1
ant now perfectly well and huve not felt any pain
since, and yvould cheerfully recommend it to my

OOPHEROUS, or MEDICATED COM
POUND-—Infallible liirrenewing,invigorating,
mid beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf,
Dandrutir and ull utlections of the Sculp, and
curing eruptions on the Skin, Diseuses -of the
Glands, Muscles and Integuments, and reliev
ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &c. i&c.—
V^ith this Preparation, “there is no such word
as fail.” The first journal in America, medi
cal men of the highest eminence, prominent citi
zens of all professions, and ladies who have used
it for years, in, their dressing rooms and nur
series, admit with one accord, thut, for impart
ing vigor, gloss, luxuriance nnd curl to the hair
eradicating scurf mid dundruff, healing wounds
curing coulitsions, sprains, stings, &c., and re
lieving diseases of the skin, the glands, and the
muscles, it bus no equul among the multitude
of compounds advertised in the public prints,
or used in private practice. In cheapness as
well ns efficacy, Barry's Tricoplierous is un
rivalled. The immense cash sules of tho arti
cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it ut
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty
to one hundred per cent less, thnn the price of
nny other preparation for the lmir now in use.
The scientific treaJso on the lmir and the skin,
(embracing valuable directions for the culture
and preservation ol Nature’s choicest orna
ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is
alone worth the money.
Tho affinity between the membranes which
constitue the skin,-and the hair which draws its
sustenance from this triple envelope, is very
close All diseases of tho hair originate in the
skin of the head. If the pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do
not circulate lrocly through the small vessels
which feed tho roots with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dunij-
<uff, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
nnd harshness of the liguments, and entire
baldness, ns the cose may be. Stimulate the
skin to healthful action with the Tricoplierous,
and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disense. In all utlections of
the skin, and of the substrata of muscles and
integuments, the process and the effect are the
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and the glands, that the Trieopherous lias its
specific action, and in all affections and injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

THE YOUTH’S FRIEND.
S OME months since the undorsigned pro
posed to publish a series of pamphlets en
titled Humble Efforts. From a variety of
cutises, their publication was postponed, and
after a considerable delay, acting under the
advice of some of her friends, she lias conclud
ed to change her original intention, and issued
monthly journal, of moderate size, quarto form,
entitled the Youth’s Friend. It will be what
its name indicates. We are not proposing to
publish a journal of large pretensions, either
as to tile size of its pages, or the ability of its
contents. Having long been engaged in teach
ing the young of the gentle sex, we flatter our
self that we know something of their moral
and intellectual wants. Our object is mainly
to aid the young mind in its search after in
tellectual and moral nutriment, as well in the
paths of sober wisdom, as the more brilliant
paterres of spurkling literature. While aid
ing to find tho gems of the latter, we would
from the Book of Nature and Revelation,
draw lessons to charm and decorate it with
the inspiration which alone can give it immortal
bloom.
The Y’outh’s Friend will be made up of lit
erary and scientific essays and items, moral,
instructive, and pleasing talcs, original and s&
lected; beautiful poetry, &c., as well as ed"
torials, usual in works of the character pro
posed. We have the promise of contribu
tions from several whose efforts cannot fail to
please ; and so for as our ability and exertions
can make it usefu' and attractive, they will be
unremittingly exerted. 4
But we need not enlarge. It will be seen that,
our pages are intended principally forthe young;
still, we trust thut they will contain much worthy
of tho consideration of those more advanced in
life. While we frankfy admit that we should be
gratified with a- suitable reward for our labors,
we cannot and mustnot loose sight of the greut
hope of doing good.- With becoming modesty
and deference, we submit our frail Literary
Barque to the waves of public opinion, with un
expression of the hope that it may meet a favor
able reception.
We tender our grateful acknowledgments
to the many kind friend's who became patrons of
our “Humble Efforts," nnd trust that they tnuv
be pleased with the “Youth’s Friend."
It will be issued monthly r in quarto form of eight
pages, at $1 per annum, in ndvance. As the 1st
number will be forthcoming ubout the first of
February, we would be greatly obliged to nil
those who may wish to receive it, to send in their
names os early us possible. W. C. TYSON.
