Feb«Iua«v 19, 1850. ) 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.

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.

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.

Tell them that we are offer ing daily great bargains'—such as are seldom met with at this season of the year- Tell them that our stock of Dry Goods is entirely new.

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.
