J Sirs—Captain Pnrsous, of the ship Amity, ol Boston, reports that on the 22d of August last, being then bound, from Manilla to Boston, lie discovered ana bei\t through a passage among the Thousand Islands. Although these islands are at tho eastern entrance to tho Straits of Sunda, and, therefore in one of the great thoroughfares of the ocean, there is no accurate survey of them, and tho position usslgned them oi tho charts is of doubtful accuracy. , , , | es s Captain Parsons determined tho lattitude ot n middle of tlie passage by a meriiliun nlntuuo o sun, and its longitude by bearings from the > • Watcher.

ClovER, Eng., Jan. 15,—"The Piasters of vessels coining from the westward, nnd bound to the Thames and Medway, are subject to heavy penalties if they do not hoist the usual signul for a pilot, on arriving oil' Dungeness, nnd keep it displayed until tlie ship lias passed the South Buoy of the Brake, unless in the meantime a duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should have come on hoard. Masters uro particularly warn ed to keep their jacks flying, although they may have taken a boatman on hoard, and engaged his boat and crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot cutters show a large groen light during the night, and display a flare up every 15 munites. “N.

Masters should avoid being imposed upon by any peraons pre tending to have licenses. “Masters should, on no occount, pay the shipping money to the boot’s crew, but iu every case to the pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice.

In cheapness ns well as efficacy, Barry’s Tfriconherous is un rivalled. The immense cosh sales of tho urti- cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it at retnil^at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty to one hundred per cent less, than the price of any other preparation lor the hair now in use. The scientific trca.ise on tlie hair and the skin, (embracing valuable directions for the culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is alone worth tho money. The affinity between the membranes which constitute the skin,-and the hair which draws its sustenance from this triple envelope, is very close All diseases of the hair originate in the skin of the head. If tha pores of the scalp are clogged, or if the blood anil other fluids do not circulate freely through the small, vessels which feed thc^ roots with moisture, and im part life t<®the fibres, the result is scurf, duud- (ufT, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness, and harshness of the ligaments, and entire baldness, us the case may be. Stimulnto the skin to healthful action, with the Tricopherous, and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will annihilate the disease. In all affections of the skin, nnd of the substratu of muscles and integumcntlf, the process und the effect are -.he same. It is upon the skin, tliemusculur fibres, and the glands, that the Tricopherous lias its specific action, nnd in all Attentions nnd injuries of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

'' HE YOUTH’S FRIEND. S OME months since the undersigned pro posed to publish a series of pamphlets en titled Humble Efforts. From a variety of causes, their publication wns postponed, and alteva considerable delay, acting under the advice of some of her friends, she has conclud ed to change her origii al 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 the size of its pages, or the ability of its contents. Having long been engaged in teach ing tlie young of the gentle sex, we flatter our self that we know something of their moral and intellectual wants. Our object is mainly to aitl the young mind in its search after in tellectual and moral nutriment, as well in the paths of sober wisdom, as tho more brilliant paterres of sparkling literature. While aid ing to find the gems of the latter, wo would from the Book of Nature and Revelation, draw lqsaons to charm and decorate it with the inspiration which alone enn give it immortal bloom. The Youth's Friend will be made up of lit erary and scientific essays and items, moral, instructive, und 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 scveralvfliose efforts cannot fail to please ; and sA far as our ability and exiytions can muke it u*efu nnd attractive, they will he unremittingly exerted;'- But we need not enlarge.
