National Observatory, l Washington. February 19,1850. 5 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.

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are now no licensed boatmeq; ;heir licenses hove been long since revoked, and the act au thorising their being granted repealed.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® from the bench.

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.
