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-
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 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 impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
ries 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.
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 ebedient servant,

WAsHrScroN, May 10, 1854.
The imminent danger of war with Spaii
cannot be over estimated. 1t is believed
here that before thirty days we will seacl
crisis which will call for the most urgen
measures. We do not believe that Mr.
Soule set out with any intention of passing
matters 10 this extreme, but that the instruc
tions with which he was armed were baset
upon the idea that Spain would be frighten.
ed into listening to proposition for the pur.
chase of Cuba.
Private letters have Lecn received here.
stating that Mr.. Soule has lost the goot
graces of the tickle Queen Of Spain, who is
completely in the hands Of her Cabinet. As
for the Cabinet they are represented as the
supple instruments of England and France
but not only the purchase of Cuba, but alsc
the acquiescence Of Spain in the demands
so strongly put forth by the United States,
seem further off than ever. On the other
hand, Mr.. Soule has established the mos,
| friendly relations with the Queen Mother,
and she is as warmly in favor of the sale Of
Cuba. as the Queen and her ministers are
opposed to it. Thus the matter stands; and
as long as the present Spanish Cabinet hold
together, English and French interests will
beiin the ascendant.
Yet it is possible, though scarcely proba-
bic, that the affair MAJ be smicably adjust
ed. England will doubtless try to temper.
ize, but ii our government listens to any
such overtures after the stand taken, it will
be disgraced. The only hope that our
peaceable relations will not be disturbed lies
in the possibility of Spain's accedipg to QUE
demands.
There is reason TO believe that the Captain
General of Cuba has, before this instituted
