vance of the age. His hoose for elegance and COM

elegant boudoir, the charming drawing rooms, are
to be met with at Boydens Hotel. Then his din.
ners-and wines-cannot be surpassed. Every
traveller passing through Richmond should stop at
Boyden's Hotel, Richmond. He has introduced the
fashionable system Of having soup before dinner, and
astopished the steady old people ofthe Cd Dominion
who considered soup only fit to fill up the chinks
after eating such solid food as ham and venison and
they considered perfect revolution had taken place
when dinner was commenced with soup. a,., -oi

necessary to say that these the very best that can

"FLoArIse Day DOCK We were much grati6eda
day or two since in Observing the steamboat Albany,
27S feet raised up out OF the water ON the Float
ing Dry Dock at the foot Of Rutgers street, E. r /,
without the least etran or alteration in her shape,
much TO the satisfaction of the numerous steamboat
owners, masters and others who were present watch
ing the operation with good deal of interest This
dock is an important improvement for those con-
cerned in steamboats,, il hes heretofore been abso
lulely impossible to haul out our long river steam.
boats without straining and frequently pjurng them
seriously.
Six sections Of this dock are now in operation,
possessing sufficient capacity TO raise 700 tons
gross weight and we understand that another section
Of 300 tons lifting power, will be added in two or
three weeks, which will enable the dock to raise
any Of the Atlantic steamers or two large ships at
the same time. We learn that thisdock has been in
constant use about year without the least accident
Of any kind.
