: January 20, 1854.
To o. T. Detn,oh, President ~ j. Zinc Co., ~ y.
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-
tons for the preservation of timber, have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, man ufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
psny, serves ss 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 impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington and shall send with il complete Sc
RES of specimens of wood and metal plates, winch
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parauons and then exposed alike for an entire
season in sal, water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, In the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zine Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes
You are at liberty to gver full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
lance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
word. ! am respectfully, your obedIent servanti

woMAN,s ADVOCATE.

This is the name of a new paper just started
in Philadelphia. 1t is devoted to the elevation
of the female industrial classes, and produced
by the joint stock capital, energies and industry
of females. It disclaims all connection with
political parties and disavows sympathy with
any isms. 1t processes to look solely to practi-
cal, and not ideal "woman's rights" 1t is a
large and handsome paper and is filled with
well selected reading matter. The editress is
Miss Anna L. Mcdowell. The style and the
objects of the paper may be judged of by the
following short extract. The Adpocate says:
In looking abroad into the world we see a
vast field occupied by others in which women
could labor as well or even better. We see
strong, athletic men measuring silks, laces, and
ribbons, and talking knowingly Of all articles
required for female wearing apparel, while
thousands of women who could ELL the place much
better, are unemployed and driven to the verge
Of starvation, to crime, or to the almshouse, for
want Of employment. We are aware that the
custom Of employing female clerks in Philadel.
phia, has become quite common; but still they
are few in comparison to the places they are
capable OF filling. We see the strong man
often coarse and unsympathizing-atte
the sick room of delicate female where the
place should, for many reasons, be occupied by
n well-educated female physician, such as are,
happily, now becoming distributed throughout
the country"
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1855-02-02

it has recently INDUCED in. Taking all these
circumstances together, we have no reason to
believe that peaceable annexation will be &C
complished in any brief period"
The young king will be twenty-oneyears old
on the 9th Of February. He is man of good
ability, having had good English education,
and has travelled through the United States,
England and France. Hitherto he has given
himself up to pleasure TO great extent, for
want, probably Of better occupation; but it is
reported now that he is determined to give up
his billiard and card associates, and turn over
new leaf
While in this country the new king was not
allowed to sit at the supper table with the other
passengers on board one of the Sound steam
ers, on her passage between New York and
Boston, in consequence of his color. This in
cident it is said, had such effect on the mind
of the prince that he refused to join the an
nexation policy of his uncle.
The Rolynesian says that the Russian prise.
ners on board the Amphitrite, who were cap.
tured with the Sitka, will be landed at Tahiti,
on the arrival of the Amphitrite at that island.
The Polynesian adds
Among the prisoners taken on board the
schooner was lad Of eleven years, cadet,
who remains here in charge of her Britannic
Majesty's Consul General He is to be sent
back, free, by some vessel in the spring, and
will have good account to give of his treat
ment on the British vessel. Indeed, in respect
to good usage, all the prisoners are as well of
on board the British vessel as if on board one
of their own nation"

NEW JERSEY.

We extract from the Union of yesterday, the
following gratifying intelligence. The Union
says:
"A letter from distinguished democrat of
New Jersey to Senator Thomson conveys
intelligence Of scene which transpired in the
legislature of that State on the 30th of January.
A series of resolutions had been introduced
instructing the senators and requesting the rep
resentatives from New Jersey to vote for the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise. The
Legislature Of New Jersey is not democratic,
and the result is all the more significant on
that account, showing, as it does such reac-
ton rs has not been manifested in any free
State since the passage of the Nebraska bill.
The vote stood on the passage Of the resolu-
tons yeas 81, nays %. All the democrats
voted in the negative, and it is supposed they
we're aided by some of the old-line wings. New
Jersey was one of the Old Thirteen, and we
feel proud to announce now, when faction rules
the hour, that she stands fast and firm by the
true democratic doctrine-that the people shall
rule. This vote must be especially gratifying
to Senators Thomson and Wright, in the Senate,
and their Nebraska colleagues in the House"

ATTRACTIONS AT THE NATIONAL
THEATRE.

Last night and the night before the National
Theatre was the scene of unusual attraction.
The beautiful ballet of Sathaniel, which was
performed, brought out all the powers, talents,
and graces, Of the four fascinating Rousset
Sisters. The dances were exquisite, and the
actors in their happiest mood. The piece
abounded in pleasing incidents, and was effec-
lively illustrated by appropriate scenery. There
is refinement and witchery about these fair
artistes that few can resist. They know how
to walk, how to glide, how to look, and how to
dress. They play off to perfection those ex'
quisite coquetries that French women so well
understand. The stay Of these accomplished
artistes will be short, and those who admire
good dancing, good pantomime, and graceful
women, should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to see the fair sisters. The bill for to
night is highly attractive. 1t will be found in
another column.
