Although these islands arc at the eastern entrance

In proceeding tlvrough thia passage, found the cur-
n the eastern outrance to set N. VV. about lr

part found the current setting rtVV by W^VV. 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 ?en, with three remarkable treo3 upon’ it,
two of which are upon the ends, the other in the
centre of the Island. This island is seen before enter
ing the parage from the eastward, and is to bo left
on the starboard-hand. After getting through, saw the
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
firitisn Royal Navy, wiip passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands which the same gen
tleman said he left to the northward of him; the pas
sage was about ,5 miles wide.—At 8 P. M. took too

Doveu, Eng., Jan. 15—“The masters of vessels
coming from the westward, and bound to the Thames
and Medway, are subject to heavy penalties if they do
not hoist the usual pignal for «a pilot on arriving otf
Dungcneas, and keep it,displayed until the ship has
passed the South Buoy of the Brake, unless in the
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should
have come on board. Masters ure particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks (lying, although they may have
taken a boatman on board, and engaged nis boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. The pilot
cutters snow a lurgv green light during the night, and
display n flare up every 15 minutes.
”N. B.—There ure now no licensed boatmen ; their
licenses have been lojig since revoked, and the act au
thorising. their b<Jjng granted repealed. Musters
should avoid beta Supposed upon by any persons pre-»,
tending to have licenses.-
“Musters should, on no account, pay the phipping
money to the boat’s crew, but in every case to the
pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
Las been decided in several cases, by the judge of tlte
County Court in Dover and Deal, that although the
boat’s crew-may ht^ve received the shipping money,
or more, from the captain, it is still due to the pilot,
and from him to the boatmen.”
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bay, I toko the liberty of
culling your attention to the fact, as it will be of great
importance to vessels sailing on the North side of
the island. A couple of English vessels lately arriv
ed bore, having no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying otf and on for 36
hours, and that in the vicinity oi one of the- most
dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse
is built on point Mater^lilos—loug. 77 14, and^at.
21 4D—of white limestone, and can easily, be seen at
twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first
time, on the first of May. I believe it ie the highert
in America, being 186 Spanish feety (or 171 Eng.) in
height, costing nearly $200,0* when finished.
The lamp and machinery to he lieed are French, ana
were exhibited at the lute Fair in Paris. It is now
beir.g- placed by a French engineer. The whole struc-
Hire is under tne superintendence of Don Juan Com-
pazr.no, Lieutennnt-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to he called ‘Colon,’ the name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about naif-way up tne tower, so as to be seen some
distapee. The lighthouse will be of great utility to
mariners in saving life and property. The reef known
here by the name of ‘Real de los Catalanes’ has .,bceu

COPIIEUOUS, or MEDICATED COM
POUND—Inlallible for jenewing, invigorating,
and beautifying the HATH, removing Scurf,
Dandruff, and ail ulfections of the Sculp, and
curing eruptions oil the Skin, Diseases of the
Glands, Muscles nnd Integumenls, aniDreliev-
ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises,' Sprains, &c. doc.—
With this Preparation, “(hare 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, that, for impart
ing vigoi^*gloss, luxuriance and curl to the hair
eradicating scurf and dandruff, healing wounds
curing'contusions, sprains, stings, &c.', and re
lieving diseases of the skin, the glunds, nnd tho
muscles, it has no‘equal among the multitude
of compounds advertised in tho public prints,
or used in private practice. In cheapness as
well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un
rivalled. Tho immense cash sales of tho arti
cle. have enabled the inventor to supply it at
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty
to one hundred percent less, than the pricp of
uny other preparation for the hair now in use.
The scientific trearise on the hair and the skin,
(emhrnCHfg valuable directions for the culture
and preservation of.Nature’s choicest orna
ment,) in which eu«h bottle is enclosed, is
alone worth the money.
The affinity between the membranes which
eonstitue the skin, and ihe hair which draws its
sustenance from this- triple envelope, is very
close All diseases of.lho hair originate in tho
skin of the head. If’the pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do
not circulate freely through the spall vessels
which feed'the roots with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is Scurf, danrl-
iulf, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
and harshness of the ligaments, nnd entire
baldness, ns tho case may be. Stimulate tho
skin to healthful action with,the Trieop]i%ous,'
and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disease. In all affections of
the skin, and of the substrata of muscles and
integuments, (he process and the effect are tha
same. It is,upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and the*glanas, that the Trjpppherous has its
specific action, nnd in all affections and injuries
of these organs, it. is a sovereign remedy.

A word to our friends
We cannot sulfur the present opportunity
to pns3 by without saying something for the very
liberal patronage which you have extended to us.
Our success thus far, is without a parallel. For
all this, however, we are indebted to you, and for
which you have our unfeigned thanks.
We have now but one more request to make,
and it is this—sepdaljof your friends and your
friends’ fine Alls to *,ee tls—tell them that our stock
of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods,
BONNETS, RIBBONS, &c. ,
is now completed. Tel! them that we are offer
ing daily great bargain?—such as are geldom met
with at this lipnson of the year. Tell them that
our.itnck of Dry Goods is entirely new. That
onr lights are superior to any establishment of
thekihd in the city; so that they heed not fear to
buy. as tbpy cun see exactly what the goods nro.
And.lastly, tell them that we are doing business
entirely ou the Cash System—consequently we
are conipelleol to sell low.
