a,s &c., January 20, 1854.
To C. E. Demold, President ". j. Zine Co., ~ Y.
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
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnaces, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
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.
You are at liberty to give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are Of too much impor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
riin 8p JAMES JARVIS,
Inspector U. S. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va.

This immense expenditure for the Collins and

why the P. o. Department does not pay its
expenses.
p. NJ General Campbell has exerted himself
TO get rid of the expenditure by opening TO free
competition the conveyance of the mails. OH

his suggestions, the Congress which has just
adjourned, Instructed the Secretary Of the Ma.
