Gus questions Of civil. common, international
constitutional commercial, and municipal law
which have arisen in the course Of the admins
tration OF the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil poliiy aud
jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in importance to the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they. ex.
plain They not only set forth the political econo-

SrR A series Of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years;
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
lons for the preservation of timber, have led ! me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation oi
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
ant subject 10 the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with it a complete Sc
rics OF specimens Of wood anG 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.
