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Jjng granted repealed.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.

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.
