PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGTON AND BALTIMORE
RALRoAD.-The completion of this great Ma
tional Improvement formed an important epoch
in our history, being one of the main links in the
chain Of our Union. 1t is not merely road be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore; but road
betw cen Louisiana and Maine. This Company
is formed by union of three companies, neor-
Porated by the States of Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Delaware. All these charters, now
united by acts of the Legislatures Of the three
States, grant the most liberal privileges to the
Stockholders and to their successors .toreeer.-
All the charters are perpetual When we east
our eyes over the South Western States, and see
the multitude of Railroads in the progress of
construction in these States, all of which, di-
rectly or indirectly, lead to Baltimore, we anti
cipate On the revival of business, a torrent of
travel over this road. We would strongly re-
commend to the Stockholders in this Railroad
not to sacrifice their property at the present re-
duccd prices, which have been brought about
solely by the influence of stock jobbers. We
will venture to predict that the day is not far
distant, when this will become one Of the most
valuable stocks in the nation, for permanent
and profitable investment--Dei. Jour:

| -SHEATHING OF VESSELS OF wAR.--Some remark
able facts are related of the new British steam
vessel If war, the Blazer, which has only been
out four months in the Mediterranean. On her
return, she was taken into one of the dry docks
in the Woolwich Doclkyard, and ON examina-
ton was found to have her copper sheathing in
cnlsIsd with harnacles, gordian knotted cerals,
oysters, iiaGscfes, and yaTions uther shell fish,
thousands Oh them alive, and many places in
clusters several inches thick. This stateof the
sheathing must have taken place from some chem
ical action on the copper, which has not yet been
accounted for; perhaps a small portion Of zinc
may have hesn Inadvertently psel in its Gorma
ton, or in the construction OF the nails with
which it was fastened. 1t is not generally known
that very small portion of zinc, either by mix
ture or by coming in contact with copper, will
completely neutralise its quality of preventing
the adherence Of sholl-fsh in sea WaEer
