fete HAMILTON & SYMONS.
, National Obsbrvatobt, J
Washington. February 19,1850. )
Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 32d of August last, being then
bound from Manilla to Boston, he discovered end
beat through a passage among the Thousand islands.
Although these islands are at the eastern eHt ™"5 e
to the Straits of SuDdo, and, therefore in one ot tne
great thoroughfares Of the ocean, there is no accurate
survey of them, and the position assigned them on
the charts is of doubtfal accuracy. , , ,
Captain Parsons determined the latitude of tli
middle of the passage by a meridian altitude ol t
sun, and ita longitude by bearings from the South-
Watcher. They are 5 deg. 26 min. 8., 166 dtg.
For farther information concerning this lrn P" r l“'’*
discovery, 1 make the following oxtract ol Cnpwm
Parson', letter to me, with the remark that oapt
P. Is represented to me as a navigator of
intelligence, whose statements are, in eve y 1
entitled to confidence 22 _g EA Account.
“At 6 A. M„ wind heading, stood for the
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide passage through
tiiem, stood for .it At 11 do. entered “b
wirh a boat nhead, with the second officer in it. A
Meridian, wind came ahead, which caiuot^s to
through the passage, which was about U « '
Latitude observed at noon, being then in
toe sblptoT’e mis welof the South; Watcher, Urn
longitude, at the time of observation, would be 10b
d ^i-0 7 ESOAV. August 23—Light airs frorri the 8, W.
and'pleasant weather; beating through the passagp
to toe westward, boat ahead of the ship from one
side to the other, and had nothing less than 11 fa
thoms, and mostly from lb to 18. heps in n line
with the islands in beating through on both sides.
This nssenge, from the enstwurd, runs about d miles,
cast and west, and 8. W. 2 miles cleurs the pnesnge
altogether. The reefs Which extend from these isl
ands generally run cast and west, and can be ap
proached within a quarter of a mile. Soundings will
then be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white sond, from 18
fathoms, 2 boat’s length ahead, had a cost of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found toe cur
rent in the eastern entrance to set N. W. about II
mile per hour; but after getting in the southwestern
part found tho curreht setting SW by WJW. 2
miles per hour. Left 9 islands to toe northwurd ot
tlie ship, also one small island, about 4 feet above the
level of the sea, with three remarkable trees upon it,
two of which are ujwm the ends, toe other in toe
centre of too island. This island is seen before enter
ing the passage from the eastward, and is to he left
on toe starboard hand. After getting through, saw toe
passage mentioned by Lieutenant Harding of the
British Royal Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also saw the four islands which the some gen
tleman said he left to toe northward of him; the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took toe
bearings of several islands.
West island bore NW by W I W.
One next “ NW ,4 N.
One next « N, by W.
One next “ North.
The remainder of islands to the northward bore
about NE.I E. Most southern and western of toe
Thousand Island, bore about S. by EJE.
“At 9 P. M. came to anchor in 15 fathoms, ooze and
mud, current setting SW. by W. 2 miles per hour.
At 6 A. M. got under weigh with a light breeze from
Southwest island. At 8 A. M. bore due north 7 mile,
distant, most werstern of Thousand Islands in sightto
the southward SEjE: at meridian St. Nicholas
point swts. West end ef l’ulo buv SiW. Lati

Respectfully, &c. M. F. MAURY.
Hon. Wm. Ballard Preston,
Secretary ot the Navy.
Doves, En(j., Jan. 15.—“The masters of vessels
coming from the westward, and bound to toe Thames
and Medway, are subject to heavy penalties if they do
not hoist toe usual signal for a pilot on arriving otf
Dungeness,. and keep it displayed until the ship has
passed too Spqth Buoy of the Brnke, unless hi the
meantime a ‘duly qualified Cinque Ports pilot should
have come on board. Masters are particularly warn
ed to keep their jacks flying, nlthough they may have
taken a boatman on beard, and engaged his boat and
crew to procure a pilot from the shore. Tile pilot
cutters snow a large green light during toe night, and
display a flaro up every 15 minutes.
“N. B.—There are now no licensed boatmen; their
licenses have been long Bince revoked, and toe act au
thorising their being granted repealed. Masters
should avoid being imposed upon by imy persons pre
tending to have licensos.
“Masters should, on no nccount, pay the shipping
money to toe boat’s crew, but in every case to the
pilot only, or they will have to pay it twice. And it
has been decided in several cases, by toe judge of toe
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 toe boatmen.”
NkCvitaSi (Cuba) Feb. 8.—Not having observed
any notice of a new Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bay, I take the liberty of
calling your attention to toe fact, as it will be of great
importance to-vessels sailing on toe Novell side of
the island. ' A couple of English vessels lutely arriv
ed here, having no knowledge of such a work, were
much confused, one of them lying otf and op for 36
hours, and tlint in the vicinity ot one of the most
dangerous reefs on tho whole const. The Lighthouse
is built on point MnternilfOs—long. 77 14, and lat.
>1 4(1—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. 1 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, and
were oxliibited 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 Jilan Coin-
pazano, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Corps of
Engineers. It is to be called ‘Colon,’ toe name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
about half-way up toe tower, so as to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse will be of great utility to
mariners in saving life and property. The reef known
here by too name of ‘Real de los Catalanos’ has bean
a fatal spot It runs nearly North a m
twelve miles, extending out in some places a leftcq”.
from toe beach. In December, 1846, too New Q r .
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to tho for nler
place, was lost here. The captain and more than f or .
ty passengers-periihed. The some Winter toe g p
brig Zedora, Br. brigs Maid of Mona, Terpsichore
and Achiever, were all lost within a mile of where
the Creole struck. Point Matemillos is the starting
point for veseels running down the channel. The
dangerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Keys
on toa bank, and Key Confines on toe Cuba Coast,
will not be feared any more, for as soon as this is
finished the Government commences another on Key
Confines, to be similar in all respects to this on Mat-
ternillos.—Cor. of the Herald.

A WORD TO OUR FRIENDS
We cannot suffer the present opportunity
to pass by without SBying 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 youhave our unfeigned thanks.
We have now hut one more request to make,
and it is this—send all of your friends and your
friends’ friends to see us—tell them that our stock
of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods,
BONNETS, RIBBONS, &c.
is now completed. Tell them that* we are offer
ing daily great bargains—such as are seldom met
With at this season of the year. Tell them that
our stock of Dry Goods is entirely new. That
our lights are superior to any establishment of
the kind in the city; so tlint they need not feartu
buy, as they can see exactly what the goods are.
And, lastly, tell them that we are doing business
entirely on the Cash System—consequently we
are compelled to sell low.

P ROFESSOR BARRY’S TRI-
OOPHEKOUS, or MEDICATED COM
POUND—Infallible for renewing, invigorating,
and beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf,
Dandruff, and all affections of the Bcalp, and
curing eruptions on tho Skin, Diseases of the
Glands, Muscles and Integuments, nnd rcliev-
ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &c. <fcc.—
With this Preparation, “there is no such word
a© 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 nui
series, admit with one nccord, that, fur impart
ing vigor, gloss, luxuriance and curl to tl|0 hair
eradicating scurf nnd dandruff, healing wounds
curing contusions, sprains, stings, &c., aud re
lieving diseases of the skin, the glands, and the
muscles', it has no equal itmong the multitude
of compounds advertised in the public prints
or used in private practice. In cheapness as
well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un
rivalled. The immense‘cash sales ofthourti
cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it u.
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty
to one hundred per dent less, than the price of
any other preparation for tho hair now in use
The scientific freatise on the huir and the skin
(embracing valuable directions for the culture
and preservation ot Nature’s choicest oma-
ment,) in which’’each bottle is enclosed, is
alone worth the money.
The affinity 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 and other fluids do
not circulate iroely through the small vessels
which feed the roots with moisture, and inr
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dand-
/ tiff, shedtjing of their hair, grayness, dryness
nnd harshness of the ligaments, and entire
baldness, 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. In all affections
the skin, nnd of the substrata of muscles and
integuments, the process and the effect ore the
same. It is upon the skin, the imtsculnr fibres
and the glands, that the Tricopherous has its
specific action, and in all affections and injures
of those organs, i£ is a sovereign remedy.
