W pagne.-Ihe subscribers having been APP
upoited by Messrs. Heidseck & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subJoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidseck 81 Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim to be alone enabled TO send 10 this
country the genuine Heidsieck ~ Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as 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
originators 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 Heldsieck & Co.. IN
full, by which it first became so favorably known
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi
lar marks which have since appeared.

CARD.-Upon the dissolution Of the old
firm, Hedsieck & Co., in 1884, the senior partner
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults &c, which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this well-known brand.
In order to distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar TO our own, which have ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name of our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

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, manulacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no 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 a 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

above stated facts, which are of too much lmpor;
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial

SATURDAY, March 4. 1854.

The House proceeded with the business on the
table and with bills from the Senate with great
zeal. The patrons and members interested in va
rous bills being anxious to get them up and ma
king strenuous efforts for that purpose,of course
but few could be chosen when so many called up
ON MIR Speaker" great many House and
Senate bills were passed. We notice the follow
ing more generally interesting of the business
transacted.
The committee of Conference on the bill in
creasing the salary of the Clerk of the House of
Delegates and of the Senate, reported in favor of
increasing the pay of the Clerk of the Senate to
$50 per week, the same weekly pay allowed the
Clerk Of the House, and that the Senate recede
from its agreement to the amendment of the
House.
The report of the committee rejected by
the House after debate in which it was sus-
tained by Mr.. White, and approved by Messrs.
VERIFY and Tomin, and the Senate was informed
OF the same.
The general appropriation bill, reported from
the Senate was taken up, carried to its engross-
ment and passed
On motion Of Mr.. Garnett the House took up
the bill providing for taking census and other
statistics, and the rules being suspended it was
read a second and third time and passed.
On motion of Mr.. Tomin a bill making GER
tam provisions for the organization of the Gen
eral Assembly. and for other purposes was also
read first and second time and passed. 1t pro-
vided the swearing in of the members by the
Speaker and required that before a member could
receive his return mileage he must wait until the
close of the session or obtain leave of ABSENCE
The object of this provision was to keep quo
rum in the Legislature until the close of the ses-
sion.
During the days session the House, on motion
passed by the unfinished business which was
the resolution concerning the Coyington and O.

At near three O'clock motion, the Hous,
resolved that the chair be vacated to enable til,

BREADsTuFFs AT THE WEsT.-The whole
West appears to be teeming with corn, wheat and
flour; We quote the Peoria Press of the 10Th
In Peoria not only every warehouse and store
room is fall OF grain and -four, but every cellar
in which it is safe To put grain is also occupied.
Several large warehouses; now being erected
for that purpose one of which is over 300 feet
long, and 81 feet wide We know of one dealer
who has over two hundred thousand bushels of
grain now in store and three that have over one
hundred thousand byshels each. There is at PIE
sent in Peoria near-one million bushels of grain
awaiting the opening of the river and canal for
the Eastern market.
The Chicago Tribune Of Odd also says
The warehouses along our river are full of
grain, and several operators have been compelled
to Withdraw from the market in consequence of
failing to obtain storage room. 1t is hardly pro-
babe that any of the fleet now in port will leave
for the lower lakes for six weeks hence, and it
may he matter of interest to know what num-
Der of vessels are in port, and what amount of
grain they can take, we find the whole number of
vessels, briggs, barques, propellers and schooners
10 be sixty four. Fifty-seven of which may load
with grain, and can carry FROM $500 to 10000
bushels, or the total of 6l69O0 bushels. The
seven propellers in port may pr badly load with
provisions.
