Dyott & Kent, No. 64 South Second street, Philadelphia—who would invite the attention of those interested, to examine Dyott’s Patent Improved Pine Oil Lamps. Their construction is superior, their arrangement more simple, and embrace improvements possessed by no other Lamps. The cost of burning will not exceed one half the expense of any other light; whilst they produce a more brilliant and steady light than gas. Their construction is Such that the wick is supplied with Oil by a feeder, when it is short; so that they can be burnt dry,and thus keep the Oil always pure and the lamp clean. Their management is so easy that a child can take care oi them. They are perfectly safe, and free from any unpleasant odor. The above Lamps, together with Dyolt’s Newly Improved Solar Lard and Oil Lamps , are made in every desirable form, and suit able for Churches, Stores, Halls, Factories, Lodge Rdoms, Hotels, and Billiard Saloons, and Lamps with shades, designed for reading, and for every purpose where light is required. A handsome and varied assortment of Candelabras and Girandoles, together with Gaa Fixtures of every pattern, style, and finish, that are made by any other manufactur ers. Having every facility for manufacturing, we are prepared to sell wholesale and retail, as cheap as other dealers; and the articles are warranted equal in appearance, and superior in construction, to any that can.be procured elsewhere.

The advantages to be derived from having'a large ptock to select from, ought certainly to be apparent to every one; only two need be mentioned: Ist. The variety to please the taste; 2d. The advantage of purchasing at the lowest prices; for it is certainly evident to every thinking mind, that the larger the business done, the small er the profit required. It is so in every branch ot trade. The manufacturer sells to the wholesale package dealer; the wholesale package dealer sells to the jobber, and the jobber to the retail country dealer; so that the farmer or the consumer of the article pays at least four profits !

One-fourth part of all the articles required must be delivered on or before the first ot July, one-fourth on or before the Ist Sept., one fourth on or before the first of November, and the balance on or before the 30th of December, 1849 except the spruce spars required at Pensacola, all of which must be delivered on or before the first of November, 1848. A”nd in case of failure to deliver the articles within the times and in the proportions above specified, the bureau shall have the right to supply any deficiency, and the contractor shall- be responsible for any excess of cost over the contract price. All the timber, lumber, and other articles must be of the very "best quality , subject to the inspec tion and customary measurement of the yard where they are deliverable, and be in all respects to the entire satisfaction of the commandants thereof. 'The white oak timber must be rough squared, ac cording to the. growth of the tree; to have no wane exceeding one-fourth the width of the face of the side as squared, rAll the yellow pine timber must bo of the very best quality of “ long leaf, fine grain, southern yellow pineto be hewed to a fair edge, and to have no~more sap than one-eighth of the breadth of the face from each corner; and the contents of all sap to be excluded in the measure ment of the timber. The oak and pine must be lolled between the Ist of October and Ist of March, and must have grown within sixty miles of the sea coast ; must be stripped of the hark, or hewed within twenty days after it is felled, and placed clear of the ground, of which satisfactory evidence must be given by the contractor, by the production of certificates signed by two respectable witnesses, with their deposition, on oath, before some judge of the court, or magistrate, within the township or county where the timber was felled. Separate offers must be made for each navy-yard, keeping each class of articles, 4f embracing more than one, distinct; the cost of each item must be carried out, and the aggregate correctly footed up. Bidders are cautioned against offering for more than they can furnish, as no extension of time will, under any circumstances, be granted, and forfei tures in all cases will be rigidly enforced ; but no offer not embracing the whole of any one class will be considered. The offers of persons who have heretofore failed ►to enter into contract after being notified of the acceptance of thefr offer, or, having contracted and failed to perform, will be considered only at the option of the bureau. Every offer must be accompanied by a written guaranty, signed by one or more responsible per sons, whose responsibility must be certified to by the navy agent, or some person known to the bu reau, that if the offer be accepted, the bidder will, within five days after being notified, enter into contract with good and sufficient sureties to furnish the articles proposed, agreeably to the terms of this advertisement. Bidders are particularly cautioned to endorse their'bids as above required, to prevent their being opened previous to the time specified ; and all bids not conforming to the terms of this advertisement, particularly in correctly staling the amount of each item, and the final aggregate of each class, will be rejected as informal. The price of all manufactured or sawed lumber will be estimated and determined by “hoard mea surethe square and round timber, unless other wise specified, by the cubic foot , according to the rule of measurement adopted at the yards, which is as follows: for round or eight square timber, take the mean diameter of thelog, clearof bark ; deduct frpin this diameter one-fourth, the remainder will be the reputed square of the log ; multiply this re puted square in inches, by itself, that product by the length in feet, and divide by 144, will give the contents in cubic feet. For rough square timber, take the mean diameter of the breadth and depth in inches, and the length in feet; multiply the mean depth and breadth together, and this product by the length, and divide by 144, will givethe con tents in cubic teet. Bonds with two approved sureties will be requir ed in half the amount of the contract, and ten per cent, in addition will he* deducted from all bills, to be withheld as collateral security, until the contract is fully completed; the balance, or ninety per cent,* will be paid on each delivery, by the navy agent named in the contract, within thirty days after the presentation of approved bills.
