u. 8. NAVY YARD, GospoRT, Va,
January 90, 1854.
To C. E. Damold, President ~ J. Zinc Co., ~ Y.
SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prePara-
lions 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 as a 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 a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paraticns, 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 10 be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedent servant,

General News summary.

A person at work in the office of the
Rochester American, was accosted on Mon
day last by a stranger who insisted on paying
him thirty-six dollars, in restoration for nine
dollars wrongfully taken from him four years
ago, the repentant extortioner maintaining that
the scripture required fourfold restoration i'll
such cases. Honest Typo accepted the ten.
der, although he was unable to call to mind
the original transaction out of which the pro-
ceeding was alleged to have grown.
The New York Weekly Tribune con-
tanned an advertisement, which cost the adj
vertiser the round sum of 1851 for single
insertion, which the editor thinks is the larg-
est sum ever paid IN this country for ono in
sertion Of an advertisement. And yet the adj
vertser may consider it the best investment he
ever made for the purpose of giving publicity
to his business
The Bangor Mercury says that the
property stolen from IL. X. Dexter & Co.'s
store, at Bangor, on Saturday night, was found
at the house of Thomas ]. Guffy, one OF the
richest men in Corinth, Me. Guffy has been
arrested for the robbery, and is bound over for
trial. What makes the affair more singular,
the firm owed Guify $1,000 at the time OF the
robbery.
A fire took place in Bridgeport, CT,
on Monday morning, originating in cham
Der stove. The first notice that the occupants
of the house had of the mischief, was the
falling of the Goals from above upon bed on
which womanand two children were sleep
ing. The bed was set on fire, and the chill
dren burnt SO that they have died since.
Another State Convention is talked of
in New York, seeding Wing convention,
composed of those who are dissatisfied with
the extreme Free Soil grounds on which the
Wing candidates have planted themselves.
As boy named Eugene Beach, son
of Mr.. Heman Beach, of Iitchfeld, Ct, was
hunting coons on the night of the goth, he
accidentally fell, and the contents of the gun
were discharged into his right breast, injuring
him SO severely that he survived the accident
but six hours.
An officer of the English army in Tur-
key, writes that during his travels there, he
has never seen house being built, except it
was to patch up those which had fallen down
from sheer dilapidation and decay.
The Washington Star says the cost of
retaining the fugitive Burns amounted to
twenty seven thousand dollars, fifteen thous-
and of which was paid from the U. S. Treas
ury Wednesday morning.
Austin Munger, Of Chicopee Falls,
caught a trout at Bondville, day or two
since, weighing about four pounds. The fish
has been skinned and stuffed.
The price of a trip in M. Godarp's
balloon is $50, and one of the editors of the
N. Y. Mirror, who has tried it, says it is cheap
at that.
Ransom Dickinson, of Sunderland,
has swarm of bees from which he has taken
so pounds of honey this season.
Among the new patents issued last
week, was one to Joseph d. Illiot, of Leices-
ter, for water meter.

HoRTIcUITURAL AMALGAMATIoN.-Afe few
days since, A. P. Rand of Westfeld, gathered
two varieties of potatoes from ore stalk, and
Theron Warner, of Southwick, gathered three
varieties from one stalk, the result having been
produced by the mixture of blossoms of differ
ent varieties. Springfield Republican.
We do not k,sop but that the Republican
may be correct as to the fact of more than one
apparent variety Of potato growing on the
same stalk; but we feel quite certain, if it is
so. that the cause assigned is not the true one.
The mixing in the blossoms would not affect
the tuber, but would the seed which is pro-
duced in the ball. The probability is, either
that there was another vine in the same hill,
which escaped the notice Of the person digging
the potatoes, or that it was mere accidental
variation in the coloring of the tubers, which
is no very uncommon occurrence. If SO, the
potatoes, on being replanted, though apparent
~ differing. will all reproduce the original va
riety from which they came.

Loss OF Four HUNDRED LIvEs.-The Brit
ish ship Lady Nugent, which was chartered
early last spring, by the local government at
Madras, to convey reinforcements to the Brit
ish forces at Rangoon, the seat of the Bur-
mese war. and which sailed from Madras on
the 10th of last May, with $50 soldiers, ac-
companied by twenty women and children,
number of officers, and thirty-seyen of the
crew, has foundered, and all on board must
have persisted. Within fortnight after her
departure, frightful hurricane swept over
the Bay Of Bengal, in which she must have
sunk, as nothing has since been heard of her,
though search has been made.

IHE question Of where Daniel Ullman, the
Anow Nothing candidate for Governor of
New York, was born, remains still unsettled,
though the last evidence in the case seems
pretty conclusive that he was born in Calcut-
"a, in the East Indies, of parents Of whom the
father was an Asiatic Jew, and the mother a
Pagan. The mother, having become widow.
emigrated to this country, bringing her two
sons, and afterwards renowned Plagiarism, and
had her children baptized in the Protestant
faith.

that we find the widest social distinctions, the

NED BUNTLINE ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING
CoLoRED Mantle Bath (Me.) Mirror
has telegraphic despatch from Bowdoinham,
containing the following account of shoot
ing outrage, in which the notorious Ned Bunt-
line is said to be the aggressor:
BowDoINHAM, Oct. 24.-Ned Buntline was
arrested this afternoon by Marshal Walker,
on a charge of shooting person or persons
near Bay Bridge. Ned says he was assaulted
by mob of Irish, who seized his horse and
that he fired upon them, upon which they
fed.
The person referred to above, as having
been shot, was a colored man named Free
man. By his account of the affair, it appears
Ned was the aggressor. AS Mr.. Judson has
been arrested the matter will probably be
thoroughly investigated when we shall be
able to give true statement of the whole
affair.
We learn that the ball entered the feshy
part of the thigh, causing serious wound,
and it is so deeply embedded that it has been
impossible to extract it.
Since writing the above Marshal Walker
has returned, with Mr.. Judson in charge.
He will be examined tomorrow morning, al
