Nuilnl Information.
NATIONALOrSKRVATORY, l
Washington. Fbjs»uary 19, 1800. >
Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston,
reports that on the 22d of August last, being then
hound, from Maujlla to Boston, llo discovered and
hoqt through a passage among the Thousand Islands.
Although these Islands are at the eastern entrance
to the Straits of Halida, and, therefore in oho of the
giieat thoroughfare!! of the ocean, there is noocourate
survey of them, Ond the position ossignedwhum ° n
the charts is of doubtful accuracy. .
Captain Parsons determined the lnttitndc ol tlie
middle of the posangc by a meridian altitude ot the
sun, and its longitude hy beatings from the Bourn-
Watcher. They arc 5 deg. 26 mill. 3., J00 dog. 37
For farther Information feoncorning this
discovery, l make the following extract of C«1
Parson’s letter to me, with the remark that IP
P. is rejircsented to me as a navigator ot
intelligence, whoso statements are, in every i p
entitled to wmlldence. ^ AccouNT .
“At 6 A. M, wind heading, stood fur the Thousand
Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide parage trough
tliem, stood for it. At 11 do. entered the passage
With a boat ahead, with the .second <nnc«r •>» it. At
Meridian, wind came ahead, which caused us' J®"®® 1
through tlie passage, which wu« about H miles wide.
Latitude observed at noun, being then in the middle
of the passage, was 5 deg. ~b nun south, allowing
the ship to be 6 miles west ol tlie South-Watcher,the
longitude, ut the time of observation, would be 10b
deg. 37 inin. East. ..... a ,,,
. "Tuesday. August 23-Light airs lrom the S. W.
and pleasant weather; beating through the pussuge
to tlie westward, bout nheud of the ship .from one
side to the other, mid had nothing less than 11 ia-
tiioms, ond mostly from 10 Jo,”18. Kept in a line
with the islands in beating through on both sides.
This passage, from tlie eastward, runs about 3 miles,
cast Iind west, and S. W. 2 miles clears the passage
altogether. Tlie reefs which extend from these isl
ands generally run east and west, and can be ap-
liroaohoil within a qunrller of a mile. Soundings will
tiien be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white sand, from 18
fathoms, 2 bout’s length ahead, hud a cust of 2 feet.
In proceeding through this passage, found tho cur
rent in the custom eutranco to set 'N. W. about 1J
mile per hour j hut after getting in tlie southwestern
part found the current setting SW by WJW. 2
milos per hour. Left 9'ishiiidsto the northward of
tlie ship, also one small island, about 4 f?ot above the
levoi of tlie sen, with three remnrkubl* trees upon .it,
two of which are upon the ends, tlie other in the
centre of tho island, This island is seen before enter
ing the passage from tlie eastwm-d, and is to be left
on tlie starboard hand. After getting through: saw the
passage mentioned hy Lieutenant Hurtling of the
British Royul Navy, who passed through it July 19,
1830; also suw the four islands which the same gen
tleman suid ho left to the northward of him: the pas
sage was about 5 miles wide.—At 6 P. M. took the
hearings of several islands.

“At 9 P. Ml came to anchor in 15 fathoms, ooze and

At 6 A. M. got under weigh with a light breeze jfrom

Neuvitas, (Cuba) .Feb. 8.r*Not having observed
any notice of a new’ Lighthouse recently ereceted
near the entrance of this bny, I take the liberty ol
calling your attention to the fact, ns it will be of great,
importances to vessels sailing on the North side of
the island; 1? A couple of English vessels lately arriv
ed here, having no knowledge of Ihch a work, were
much confused, one of them lying otf and on for 36
hours, and that in the vicinity of one of the most
dangerous reefs on tlie whole coast The Lighthouse
is built on point Materafltos—-long. 77 14, and lat
21 40—of white limestone, and can easily he seen at
twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first
time, on the first of May. I believe it ii the highest
In America, being 186 Spanish fqet (or 171 Eng.) in
hc'ght costing nearly $200,000 when finished.
Tlio lamp ana machinery to be used are French, and
were exhibited at tlio late Fair in Paris. It is now
being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc
ture is under the superinteiuleuuqof Don Juan Com
paznno, Lieutenant-Colonel of tile Royal Corps ol
Engineers. It is to be cnlled' jColon,’, the name
being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea,
nbout half-way up the tower, Ip as to be seen some
distance. The lighthouse will he of great utiUty -to
mariners in saving life nnd property. The reef Blown
here by the nnme of ‘Real de los Catalones' has v been
a fatal spot. It runs nearly North a
twelve miles, extending out in some places a leng,^
from the beach, in December, 1846, tho New Q r _>
leans ship Creole, from Bordeaux to the for me j-
place, was lost here. The fcaptaiu and more than j nr .
ty passengers perished. The same Winter tho g D
. brig, Zedora, Br. brigs Mnid of Mono, Terpsichore
and Achiever, were all lost within ii mile of where
the Creole struck. Point Maternillos is tlie starting
point for veseels running down the channel. qqjo
dangerous passage between Ginger and Wolf Kevs
on tho bank, nnd Key Coniinca : on tjie Cuba Coast,
will not be feared-wiy more, for os soon as this is
finished the Government commences another 0 n Key
Gonfines, to be similar in all respects to tins on Mat-
ternillos.—Cor. of the Herald.

P ROFESSOR BARRY’S TRI
COPI1BROUS, or MEDICATED COM
POUND—Infallible for renewing, invigorating
and beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf
Dandruff, and all affeotions of tho Scalp, and
curing eruptions on.the Skin, Diseases of the
Glands,'Musclesand Intcgumeifts, and reliev
ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &c. &c.
With this Preparation, “iheye is no such wurd
as foil.” The first journal in -America, med'
cal men of ihe highest eminence, prominent citi-
zens of all professions, and Indies who have used
it for years, in their dressing rooms and nur
series, admit with one accord, that, for impart
ing vigor, £loss, luxuriance and curl to the hair
eradicating’scurf and dandruff, healing wounds
curing contusions, sprains, stings, &c., and re
lieving diseases of tho skin, the glands-, and the
muscles, it has no equal among t$ie multitude
of compounds advertised in the qiublic. prints,
or used in private practice. In cheapness ns
well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un
rivalled. The immense'cash sales of tho arti
cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it at
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which iafrom fifty
,to ono hundred per cent less, than the price of
any other preparation for the lmir'now in use.
The scientific treatise on the huir and the skin,
(embracing valuable directions for the culture
and preservation ot Nature’s choicest, ornn-
ment,) in which' each bottle is enclosed, is
alone worth the money.
The affinity between the membranes which
constituc the skin,-and the hair which draws its
sustenance from this triple envelope, is very
close All diseases of tho hair originate in tlie
skin of the head. If tho pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do
not circulate freely through tlio small vessels
which feed the roots with moisture, and im
part life to tho fibres, the result is scurf, dand-
/uff, slredding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
and harshness of the ligaments, nnd entire
baldness, as the case may be. Stimulate tho
skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous,
und the torpid vessels, recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disease. In all nffections of
the skin, and of tho substrata of muscles artd
integuments, the process und tlie effect aro tho
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and tho glands, that the Tricopherous has its
specific action, and in all affections and injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

principal office, 137, BROADWAY, Near York.
