Though Mr.. Sherman's Goinm,ltee observe
the strictest BecrreY respecting the results Of
their still unfinished Investigation into the

ledge is the following:
Nasal Appropriation Ac. Of 1850 CONTAINS
a provision which reads thus:
:"'1n 1ha article of fnel for the Navy OF Nayal
Stations and Yards, the Secretary Of the S4vJ
,shasl have power TO discriminate, and purchase,
kind Of fuel which il best adapted to tho puz-
pose for which it is 10 be used"
4 coal agent has accordingly been appointed
By the Department to purchase coal Tor the use
oftle Aaty, and send it to the various yards
aud ssal:ons. Undsr Mr.. Duchsnsn's Admins

his profession as phy sician. His commsssion
Of pei. cent on the cost Of the coal purchased,
gEd on the cost OF tfe,ghung it, amounted, for
the past year, to- the snug sum of 5000.
