U. s. NAVY YARD, GosPoRT, VA,
January 20, 1854.
To C. E. Damold President ~ J. Ztne Co, ~ +.
SIR series of 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 as a perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
| am now preparing full report on this mpor-
,ant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks al
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anL 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
yonr 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 lmpor,
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your ebedient servant

Mr. Olson has also published, in b.auli-
ful style, Belin,'s great Opera, La Sonnam-

celebrated lyric drama may rather be term
ed an clegy than Il dramatic work; and
from the peculiar bias and tendencies of
Bciiini's genius, this clegy, expressing those
paricu ar tendencies in SO eminent a de-
gree, may. perhaps, of all his oih,r works,
find the most general acceptance with the
musical public. In lh. sweet pastoral ev-

bright offspring of the Swan OF Catania.-
The opening song of morning welcome !;
