N.B. Besides the above, several hundreds of private houses have been covered with Vicille Montague Zinc. FRANCE. It is conjectured that in Paris alone upwards of Two Thousand private houses have Zinc roofs. The number of houses covered in the same manner on the whole extent of the French territory is unknown. We can only say that, considering the large supplies of roofing Zinc furnished during the last several years, from the Depots of the Company, to all parts of the country, it must be very considerable. Among the public buildings covered with Zinc we shall enumerate the following : — Paths All the Houses in the Rue de Rivoli ,, Great Exhibition Building ,, Admiralty Buildings „ Stamp Office ,, National Records’ Office „ Speaker’s Palace „ Old Chamber of Deputies „ Palace of the National Assembly „ Asylum for the Blind „ St. Peter’s Church ,, Palace of Quay d’Orsay „ Com des Comptes Records’ Office „ Historical Records’ Office ,, Depot of Marine Charts „ French Institute „ Palace of Fine Arts ,, De la Republique Hospital „ National Circus ,, De la Renaisance Theatre ,, De la Madeleine Market 11 Versailles and St. Germain Railway Terminus Building 11 Paris and Rouen „ „ i, Northern ,, ,, Paris and Strasburg ,, ,, ii Paris and Lyons ,, ,, !• Paris and Orleans ,, „ BELGIUM.
