Sirt—Captain Parsons, olthe ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on tlm 22d of August last being then
bound, from Mnnilla to Boston, he discovered ana
beat through a passage among the Thousand Islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits of Hundn, and, therefore in one of the
greatithorouglifnres of tho ocenn, thero is no accurate
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
tlie charts is of doubtful accuracy. .
Captain Parsons determined tlie lattitudo ol tno
middle of the passage by u meridian altitude ol toe
sun, and its longitude by hearings from the Soutn-
Watchcr. They are 5 deg. 26 min. 3., 166 deg. .ii
mill. E. . . . .
For farther information concerning this ’f'P 01
discovery, I mako the following extract of -“!>
Pnrson's letter to me, with tlie remark that Capt.
T. is represented to mo as ii navigator of sum ana
intelligence, whose statements are, in every i 1
entitled to confidence.^^ Acc0UNT .
"At 6 A. M, wind heading, stood lor the '1'bousMid
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide piissngc through
them, stood for it. At 11 do. entered the passage
with a boat ahead, witli the second officer in it. At
Meridian, wind come abend, which caused uatolicnt
through tile passage, which was about li miles wide.
Latitude observed at noon, being then ill the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. 20 min south; allowing
tho shin to lio 6 miles west ol tho South->\ ntchu, tlit
longitude, at tho time of observation* would be 100

This passage, from tlio eastward, runs about 3 miles,

Dover, Eng., Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels
coming from the westward, and bound to the Thames
and Medv^ay, are subject to heavy penalties if they do
not hoist the usual signal for a pilot on arriving ctf
Dungenoss, and keep it displayed until tlie ship lias
passed the South Buov of the Brake, unless in tho
meantime a duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should
linve eoino onboard. Masters are particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks flying, although they may have
taken r boatman on board, and engaged his boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. Tho pilot
cutters show n largo green light during the night, and
displny a flare up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmeq; ;heir
licenses hove been long since revoked, and the act au
thorising their being granted repealed. Masters
should avoid being imposed upon by any persons pre
tending to have licenses.
“Masters should, on no account, pay the shipping
money to tlie boat’s crew, but in every case to the
jilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
las been decided in several cases, by tho judge of the
County Court in Dover and Deal, that although the
boat’s ®rew may have received the shipping money,
or more, from tho captain, it is still due to the pilot,
anil from him to the boatmen.”
Neuvitas, (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently erccetcd
near the entrance of this” bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to tlie tact, as it will be of grenf
importance to vessels sailing on tlie North side of
tlie island. A conjee of English vessels lately arriv
ed here, hnvttg no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying ott* and on for 36
hours, aud that in the vicinity ot one of the most
dangerous reefs on the whole coast. The Lighthouse
is built on point MatemlUos—long. 77 14, and lat.
21 40—of white limestone, and can easily be seen at
twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for tlie first
time, on the first of May. I believe it is tlie highest
in America, being 186 Spanish feet (or 171 Ting.) in
height, costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
The lamp and machinery to be used are French, and
were exhibited at the late Fair in Paris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under the superintendence of Don Juan Com-
puzauo, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ tlie name
being placed in large bronze tetters, facing the sea,
nbout hall-way up the tower, so ns to be seen some*
distance. The lighthouse will bo of great utility to
mariners in saving life and property. The reef known
here by the name of ‘Real de los Cntnlancs’ has been
a fatal spot It runs nearly North a m
twelve miles, extending out in some places n leog®

well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un
rivalled. Tho immense cash sales of the arti
cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it nt
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 lmir now in use.
The scientific treatise on tlie hair nnd 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 the money.
Tho uffinity between the membranes which
constitue 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 the pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood nnd other fluids do
not circulate freely through the small vessels
which feed the roots with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dund-
tuff, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
and harshness of tho ligaments, and entire
baldness, as the ense may be. Stimulate tho
skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous,
and tho torpid vessels,recovering theirnctivity,
will annihilate thediseusp. In all affections of
the skin, nnd of tho substrata of muscles nnd
integumpnts, the process nnd the effect nre '.he
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and the glands, tlmt the Tricopherous has its
specific action, and in nil affections and injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.
