yard for which the offer is intended,! will be received
by this Bureau until three o'clock, P. M.,of
the fifteenth of August next, for furnishing and delivering,
under contract, at the several nuvy yards
hereinafter named, the umber, lumber, and other articles
embraced in this advertisement. One-fourth
of the whole quantity required ut each navy yard,
must be delivered on or before the 1st July ; onefourth
on or before the 1st September ; one-fourth
on or before the 1st November; and one-fourth on
or before the 30th December, 1850. In case of failure
to deliver the articles within the times and in
the proportions si>ecihed, the Bureau or the several
I commandants to liuve the right to supply deficiencies
by purchase, and the contractor ami his sureties
to lie responsible in twice the contract price.
All the umber, lumber, ami other articles must be
of the very best quality, and subject to the inspection
and measurement established for the government of
the several navy yards, printed rules of which may
be obtained on application to the different commandants
or navy agems. All said Umber, lumt>er,
and other articles must be enurely satisfactory to
the respective commandants.
The white oak umber must be rough squared,
according to the growth of the tree, to have no
wane exceeding one-fourth the width of the face
of the side as squared. All the yellow pine timber
must be of the very best quality of long leaf,
fine grain, Southern yellow pine, to be hewed to a
lair edge, and to have no more sap than one-eighth
of the breadth of the face from each comer; the
contents of all sap to be excluded in the measurement
of the timber. The oak must be felled between
the 1st of October and the 1st of March, and must
have grown within sixty miles of the sea coast;
must be stripped of the bark 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 umber was felled.
Persons offering for more than one yard, mint
make separate and distinct proposals for the supply of
each, keeping the classes of articles separate, and embracing
the whole quantity of all the articles in the
class. The cost of each item must be distinctly
earned out, and the aggregate of each class correctly
fooled up, which is material to a fair comparison
of bids. An erroneous extension or an erroneous
aggregate will constitute an informality, and the bid
wdi not be considered.
No extension of time for deliveries under any
contract will be granted, and penalties for non-fulfilment
will in all cases be rigidly enforced; bidders
are, therefore, requested to offer for no more than
they are sure they can furnish within the time specified.
The price of all manufactured or sawed lumber
will be estimated and determined by " board measure,the
square and round timber, unless otherwise
specified, by the " cubic foot."

will tie required, and ten }>er centum, in addition,
will be withheld from the amount of each payment

the contract. Ninety per centum of each delivery
will be paid by the navy agent within thirty days
afierthe presentation of approved bills, in triplicate,
by the commandant of the yard at which the deliveries

A report having been extensively rirenlated that

Inapeetor of Steamboat Holla for the port of Washington,
the annexed certificates are publiahed in
refutation thereof;
Having been railed upon by you to examine the
hull of the ateamer Columbia, whilst on the railway
in Baltimore, on the 23d ultimo, and having performed
that duty, I feel no hesitancy in saying that
the hull of that float is in gasl condition, and trustworthy
for the carriage of freight and passenger*
between this place and Baltimore. The injury (Tone
to the stempost having now been repaired, I con
aider her to lie aa good aa many stcamlxml* of five
