This island is seen before enter ing tho passage from tho eastwnrd, and is to be left on the starboard hand. After getting through, saw the passago mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19, 1830; also suw 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 6 P.

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 largo green light during the night, and display a flare up every 15 minutes. “N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen ; their licenses have been long siDce revoked, and the act au thorising their being granted repealed. Masters should avoid being imposed upon by uny persons pre tending to have licenses. "Masters should, on no account, pay the shipping money to the boat’s crew, but in every cose to the 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 the boat’s crew may have received the shipping money, or more, from the captain, it is still due,to the pilot, and from him to the boatmen.” Neuvita9, (Cuba) Feb. 8,—Not having observed any notice of a new Lighthouse recently erecetecl near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of calling your attention to the fact, as it will be of great importance to vossels sailing on the North side of tlie island. A couple of English vesHels lately arriv ed here, having no knowledge of such a work, were much confused, one of them lying otf and on for 36 hours, and that in tlie vicinity ot one of the most dangerous reefs on tho whole coast The Lighthouse is Amilt on point Maternillos—long. 77 14, and lat. 21 40—of white limestone, and can easily be seen nt twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first time, on the first of May. I believe it is the highest in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 Eng.) in height, costing nearly $200,000 when finished. The lamp and machinery to be used are French, nnd were exhibited at the lute Fair in Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer.. The whole struc ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com- pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the ltoynl Corps of Engineers. It is to lie' called ‘Colon,’ the nnme being pluced in large bronze letters, facing the sea, about nnlf-way up the tower, so as to be seen some distance. The lighthouse will bo of great utility to mariners in eavingllfe anil property. The reef known here by the name of ‘Real do los Catalanes’ has been a fatal spot It runs nearly Norlh a ‘ m twelve miles, extending out in some places a Icag,2. from the beach. In December, 1846, the New Qr _ leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for mpr place, was lost here. The captain and more than f or ty passengers peri died. The same Winter the g„ brig Zedora, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where the Creole struck. Point Maternillos is the starting S ointfor veeecls running down the channel, q*he angerous pnssage between Ginger and Wolf Revs on tho bnqk, and Key Confines on the Cuba Coast, will not be feared any more, for as soon as this is finished the Government commences another on Key Confines, to be similur in ali respects to this on Mot- ternillos.—Cor. of tho Herald. united stapes Postage.

The 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 per cent less, than the price of any other preparation for the hair now in use The scientific treatise on the hair and the skin, (embracing valuable directions for the culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna. ment,) in which ench bottle is enclosed, is alone worth the rqoney The affinity between the membranes wjiich constitue the skill,-and the hair which draws its sustenance’from this triple cnvoliipe, is very close All diseases of the hair originate in the skin of the head. If tho pores of the scalp are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do notcirculate freely through the small vessels which feed the roots with moisture, and im part life to tho fibres, the result is scurf, dund iuff, shedding of their hair, grayneas, dryness, and harshness of tho liguments, and entire baldffess, as tho case may be. Stimulate the skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous, and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will annihilate the disease. I11 all affections 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, nnd the glands, that the Trio.ophfrous has its specific action, and in all affections ami injuries of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.
