SALE OF PATENT-MIGHTS FOR THE use of Seely's Patent Lime and Cement Kiln.?The practicability and utility of the above invention, for the speedy and economical manu facture of the best and purest lime and cement, having been fully demonstrated by the working of the kiln, erected by the undersigned, upon his patent, in the city of Washington, he now offers to the public generally an opportunity to purchase the patent-rights for the several State* of tho Union. Righto for counties will be sold separate ly if desired. The kiln is capable of burning more lime than any three kilns in the country combined. The average product ol the one built in Washing ton is one hundred and ninety barrels of lime per day, with a consumption of only live cords of wood as fuel. A Cement kilu. built upon this principle, will burn between two hundred and fifty and two hundred and ninety burrels of cement per day. For the manufacture of lime it is capable of cal cining either of tho various kinds of Limestone or oyster shells. Persons desiring to purchese rights may confer with Mr. Samuel L. Harris, Washington, D. C., or address him to box 650 of the post office in said city, he being fully authorized, by me. to act as my agent in said mailer. SAMUEL J. SEELY. Washington, D.

Being the productions of distinguished jurist* and civilians, fully authorized to dceide the vari ous questions ot civil, common, international, ( constitutional, commercial, and municipal law, ; which linve arisen in the course of the adminis i Iration ot' the govtrnment, nnd licnting, ?* limy : do, upon nearly every subject of civil polity and jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are scarcely inferior in importance to the Constitution which they defend, and the laws which they ex plaiu. They not only set forth the political econo ! my and fundamental principles of the lederal gov ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced in its administration, but they also define the 1 powers and duties, and, in many instances, the ' compensation of its civil and military officers.
