Sir: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with tho 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 no other paint or preparation Of
any kind combines the same protective effect
lam now preparing full report on this impor-
ant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, al
Washington, and shall send with il a complete se-
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, 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 obedent servant,

Iperceive statement in the Key West cor
respondent of The Charleston Courier dated 10th
inst. that the brig Horatio then lately picked
cup off Sand Key had landed cargo of 40
"slaves on the Cuba coast, $40 of whom were
"taken by the British cruisers when she was
abandoned and cut adrift." Now this is to-
tally an error. The Horatio it is known landed
GOO Africans near Bahia Honda, of whom only
sixty-one were arrested on shore through the
exertions of an agent of the British Consul, as
informed YOU at the time. The error is not per-
haps of great consequence, yet il is as well that 1t
should be corrected.
The Spanish Judge of the Mixed Commission
has resigned, and consequently when his successor
shall be appointed all proceedings before that
Court will have to be begun de naero. The Fulton,
