OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-

having just published an octave edition of the
official decisions of the Attorneys General of the
United States expounding the Constitution, sub
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes, and giving construction to the public
laws of the country, in FIVE volumes, averaging
$50 pages each, comprising all the decisions OF
that character made since the adoption Of the
federal constitution, and prior to the 4th day OF
July, 1851, and TO be continued up 10 the present
| time, with synoptica notes and copious indices,
he respectfully announces his readiness TO answer
| orders for the work, and TO forward the same by
express, or otherwise, to any part of the United
| States.
| Being the productions of distinguished jurists
and civilians, fully authorized TO decide the vari
Gus questions of civil, common, international, !,
constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the adminis-
traton of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject Of civil poty and
jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance 10 the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation Of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality
extraditon, &C., are therein thoroughly discussed,
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &C., commented upon and ex-
planned. 1t is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors Of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors of ports naval officers, receivers Of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes valuable ac-
QUESTION TO their Libraries.
The editions put up in the style Of Howard's
Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume. s.a@
Librarians Of States and public institutions are
remnded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject.

SIR: A series ofexperiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages Oft the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
am now preparing full report on this impor.

ries of specimens Of wood ant metal plates, which

of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes. a,.
