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 tude observed 5 deg. 38 min. South. Longitude 106 deg. 15 min. East. 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.

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.
