ago. they being sole propretors Of all the Identical
vineyards, cellars, &c, which the founders and
originators of this celebrated brad had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwsll upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American pubic being already
identified with unsurpassed exceJA JAnce.
We beg particularly to notice saat their brand

u. =. NAVY YARD, GoSPoKT, Va,
January 20, 1854.
To c. E. Dstnlold, Prsstdent ~ j. ZInc Co., N, r.
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
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as 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 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
paints especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
iance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am respectfully, your obedent servant,

Dancing Men in Paris.
A Paris correspondent writes that :

A Paris correspondent writes that:
"There is at Joubert street, No. 1873,
an Institute where they furnish to order
young men to dance at parties and pri-
vate balls. The hard times, the war,
the exchange, the Industrial enterprise,
the rage for gain, and for prefermcnt,
everything, in fine, for the last ten years,
has chased the young men of worth from
the pleasures of the polka and quadrille,
SO that tie balls are supplied only with
female dancers, and families giving dane
ing parties ere obliged to invite school
boys, which explains why SO many are
given on Thursday, the day on which
the lyceums and colleges are closed
You can hear on all sides ladies deman-
ding with anxiety of their friends who
wish to introduce to them gentlemen:
"Does he dance 2' That is of more
impo; tance than name, rank or anything
else. When his deplorable situation
was once asccrtained, there was formed
under the direction of famous dancing
master, special institute, which furn-
ishes, by the hour or by the night, young
men from twenty to twenty y-eight years
of age, of fine shape, well dressed, and
decided dancing tendencies. They are
generally young dry-goods clerks, whose
awkwardness has been removed by in
tercourse with ladies at the counter
They simply know how to compliment
them on their toilettes-which causes
them to be considered, by the ladies
very amiable and quite witty. They
are clothed, gloved, rufied, booted and
presented, stomach empty! They cost
a louis head, and with d oxen you
can have quite an animated dance
Wednesday last, the Institute of Jouber
street furnished one hundred and twenty
six to the divers hops of the Chausse
d'Antin. AS it appears, that comprised
its whole number They are now hur-
rying up recruits, Madame Ra---
having engaged, for herself alone, thir-
ty for the Goth of this month, twelve
faxen- haired, twelve with black hair,
and six bald-headed gentlemen.
The bald-headed ones cost 25 francs
head. They are taught dignifed
air, and are expected to represent young
magistrates, lawyers and young men of
promise worn out by midnight toll
There is fne-looking old soldier, who
has been decorated with the ribbon of
the e" Legion of Honor who will not
furnish himself for less than thirty
francs, and besides, he requires second
pair of gloves of his hostess at two
o'clock in the morning.

There was a want of great proportion

There was want of great proportion
of what was required, and the common
est medicine could not be Obtained
One of the chaplains was taken i'll once
at dinner and died, because one of the
'commonest drugs which was required
was net to be had.
Upon an application from Miss NIGnT-
INeALE, purchased sponges for opera
tions, there being at the time only ttco IN
the hospital There was no discipline IN
the hospital, but he did not expect to
find it, aolten there foa, no head, and a
veJy inefficient staff. Tho Russian pris
oners were shamefully treated, both in
the hospitals, and in the passage from
Balaklava to Scutari, He had, while
in the 6arrack hospital, seen dinner
served out The meat was cut with
stick or knife, and thrown into the wards
almost raao 2e- Q
The doctors were SO few in number,
and so deficient in the aid of clerks or
secretaries, that they had mt time to elicit
from the poor fellows the nature of their
ailments, nor to take notes of their va
rious cases. They prescribed haphaz-
ard. The same state of things existed
in the hospital at Balaklava. Mr.. STAF
FORD found fourteen men in one room,
and eleven in another, lying upon the
bare floor. There was no ventilation,
save through the broken windows. The
orderlies and patients were swearing at
each other. There were but two bed
pans in the whole establishment There
aoas no aoassing.
