nPINIoNs OF ATTORNEYS GENER-

~
having Just published an octave edition of the
official decisions Of the Attorneys General of the
United States expounding the Constitution, SUBJ
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the ln-
dian tribes, and giving construction to the public
laws of the country, in FIVE volumes, averaging
$50 pages each, comprising all the decisions OF
that character made since the adoption of the
federal constitution, and prior to the 4th day OF
July 1851, and to be continued up to the present
time, with synoptical notes and copious indices
he respectfully announces his readiness to answer
orders for the work, and to forward the same by
express, or otherwise, to any part of the United
States.
Being the productions of distinguished jurists
and civilians, fully authorized to decide the vari-
Gus questions of civil, common, international,
constitutional commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
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-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles Of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and in many instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality.
extradition, &c, therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws,
pension laws &c, commented upon and ex-
planned. 1t is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors of ports naval officers, receivers Of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes a valuable ac-
QUESTION to their libraries.
The editions put up in the style of Howard's
Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject.

rT7HE NEW YORK Musical Review and

Choral Advocate is the cheapest and best
musical paper in the world. This journal (Which
has heretofore been published monthly COM
menced its fifth year in January, 1854, and hence

Root, Vim. B. Bradbury, Thomas Hastings, and
Lowell Mason and its circle of correspondence.

also be regular medium for the announcement OF
new musical publications by all the leading pub
lishing houses IN the Union. The subscription
list of this paper is now larger than that of any
similar journal in the world and the new ar
rangements, rendering 1.-THE cheapest, well as iii
is hoped) the most valuable musical paper ever
published, must largely increase its already un.
paraleled circulation.
FERNS: One dollar per annum or six copies
for five dollars always In advance
The music alone in the volume would cost over
FIVE dollars in the,usual form. Besides this, there
will be an immense amount of musical news,
essays, criticism, instruction, &c. &C., all for only
one dolart Every one feeling particle Of inter-
est in the cause OF music will surely subscribe.

RECOMMENDATIONS


January 90, 1854.
To C. E. Dtzmold President NJ j. Zinc Co., ~. y.
SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington and shall send with il complete Sc
ries OF specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water opposite this navy yard; all
Of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds OF
paints, especially for marine purposes
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which of too much impor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world / am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

call the attention of the public to the subjoined

The Messrs Heids1eck 81 Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim to be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidseck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards cellars, &c, which the founders and
orginators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly TO notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co., in
full, by which it first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.
