Under the advertisement of the Light House Board
which was for fish OIL this bid could not be accepted,
bu, the Commissioners determined make thoroughex
peripept in regard its qualities, to be enabled if
the result should be satisfactory to take advantage of
this economical substitute for sperm oil. Mr.. Redfeld,
the Collector has examined the matter some Shas and
has urged upon the Government to make full mves-
tgsop Of the applicability of this oil to Light House
purposes.
We annex the letter referred to Saturday in rea-
ton To- the fret cargo shipment Of whale oil acroes the
Istbmus Of Papama by the Railroad. The effect OF
the opening of this route for sending home the
results of rhing, whou. the expense and 'se OF time
of bringing home the whaling fleet, hardy yet be
estimated, as the present shipment is first sIpeii-
ment: but that the economies OF this system of con-
quoting the whaling business Will be found to be very
| erest, we have doubt. We refer those who are
interested in this matter to the ubjoined letter.
