Iroa-Snerchturt vesself which will constitute the sub- 1 jest-of-this examination or controversy. There is no k‘... deficiency •of ship timber which renders the use of , y..., Iron indispensable, but it is alreertairied as far as to i.A'. boas to ships elver of the United States that the re kytt,s. pairs of a Government vessel ittsixteen,years equal the i'.-.1.,.. original coat of construction. Thus the' Delaware,74, I,.:':'• ' built in 1820, cost originally $543,368, vet the repairs "of said vessel up to 1841,amounted to $453,783.- The k - .,:. Brandywine, Frigate, built iu 1825, at an expense of 1: .: $290,218. had expended ;Tun her in repairs in the c, - coarse of thirteen years, no less than $377,665. The t , -.. Falmouth, built in 1827, cost $91,093, and the repairs in fourteen years amount to $226,120. It is compu ted that-the repairs alone of these three ships. in a pe t- rind of less than sixteen years, amounting to $1,992,- ; 248, would have built six Iron Steam Ships of War, V. r ... each.equat to any Frigate in force and efficiency.

Ina few years we may g: have a See% Qf Steam Frigates built out of the econo ?. . my of the Government in refusing to repair old Ships of the. Line and Frigates. We should not think Iron Ships . of great length exactly safe; 300 feet, the length "" of -t einew steamer Great Britain, we apprehend, is too long and may be apt to hog, but Iron Steam Ships 160.t0 200 feet in length, with the greatest attention to the thickness of the Iron plates and knees, we should consider a proper and safi.Hength. Two accidents have happened to two Iron steamers, one a Govern ment vessel near Madagascar, which nearly collapsed and was only saved by stnurgtherring pieces screwed up to the sides; the other, the Eberfolt, a. small steam 6, er.intended for river navigation which foundered at i.--. sea in an attempt to reach England. There may have i been other accidents, but generally speaking, the Iron boats have been quite successful, and it is decidedly 1--..-: the interest of Government to stop repairs on old ves- Pr sols and proceed gradually to Supply their places by : Iron Steam Ships of War. ts ' DENNING'S FIRE PROOF IRON CHESTS PITTSBURGH, Oct.

Then try this great tooth wash, The Teaberry tooth wash, And see if this tooth wash - of Thorn's is not fine. Having tried Dr. "Thorn's Tea Berry Tooth Wash," and become acquniatedwith the ingredients of its com position, I cheerfully say, I consider it oneof the safest, as it is one of the most pleasant tooth washes now in use.
