Masters are particularly warn ed to keep their jacks flying, although they may have taken 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 tlie night, and display a flare up every 15 minute*. “N. B.—There nre now no licensed boatmen; their licenses have been long since revoked, and the act au thorising their being grunted repealed. Masters should avoid being iuipo&d upon by any persona pre tending to have licenses. “Masters should, on no account, pny the shipping money to the boat’s crew, but in every case to the S ilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it as been decided In several cases, by the judge of the County Court in Dover and Deal, that although tlie boat's crew may have received the shipping money, or more, from tho qaptain, it iB still due to the pilot, and from him to tlie boatmen.” UNITED VITATES POSTAGE.

In cheapness us well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un rivalled. The immense cash sales of tho arti cle, have enabled tho inventor to supply it at retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty to one hundred per cent less, than the price of any other preparation for the hair now in use. Tlie scientific treatise on the hair and the skin, (embracing valuable directions for the culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicost orna ment,) in which each bottle it enclosed, is alone worth the money. The nflinity between the membranes which constituc the skin,-and the hair which draws its sustenance from this triple envelope, is veiy closo All diseases of the hair originate in the skin of the head. If the pores of tlie scalp are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do not circulate treely through the small vessels which feed tho root* with moisture, and im part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dund- tufl’, shedding of their hair, gray ness, dryness, and harshness of the ligaments, and entire baldness, as tho case may be. Stimulate tlie skin to healthful uctinn witli the Tricopherous, nnd the torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will annihilate the disease. In all affections of tlie skin, and of the substrata of muscles and integuments, tlie process und tlie effect aro the same. It is upon the skin, the museulur fibres, and the glands, that the Tricopherous has its specific action, und in nil affections nnd injuries of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

S OME months since tho undersigned pro posed to publish a series of pamphlets en titled Humble Efforts. From a variety of causes, their publication was postponed, and after a considerable delay, acting under the advice of some of her friends, she has conclud ed to change her orig}ual intention, and issued monthly journal, of rtioderate 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 tho 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. Onr object is mainly to aid tho young mind in its search after in- tfillectual and moral nutriment, as well in the paths of sober wisdom, as the more brilHnnt paterres of sparkling literature. While aid ing to find the 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. Tho Youth’sFriend willbe mode upof lit erary and scientific essays and items, moral, instructive, and pleasing tales, original and se lected: beautiful poetry, &c., as well as edi torials, usual in works of the character pro posed. We have tho promise of contribu tions from several whose efforts cannot fail ,to please ; and so far as our ability nnd exertions can makeitusefu and attractive, they will be unremittingly exerted. But we need not enlarge. It will be seen that our pages are intended principally fur tho young; still, we trust, that they will contain much wort by of the consideration of those ' more advanced in life. While we frankly admit that we should be gratified with a suitable reward for our labors, we cannot nnd mnstnot loose sight of tho grent hope of doing good. With becoming modesty and deference, wo submit our Irnii Literary Burque to tlie waves of public opinion, with un expression of the hope tliatit may meet a favor able reception. We tender our grateful acknowledgment! to the many kind friends who became patrons of our “Humble Efforts,” and trust that they mnv be pleased with tlie “Youth's Friend.” It willbe issued monthly,in quarto form of eitrht pages, at $1 per annum, in ndvunce. As the 1st number will he forthcoming about the first ot February, we would bo greatly obliged to all those who may wish to receive it, to send in their names as early as possible. W. C. TYSON.
