The Commissioners of Paving have come to the
determination of lighting Dover with gas.

Some persons broke into the gas station at Swan-
sea, on blonds), se'imight, and by an interference
with the maciain'fry (*hich none but persons ac-
quainted with the premises could have tifec,ed),
caused nearly 6,000 cubic feet of gas to escape ;
the inconvenience, however, was of very short du-

ration. as the Company had a vecond gasometer in
reserve. and the lamps, which were extinguished,
were almost immediately relighted.

Esq. of Oswestry, on the gth instant, end is now
preserved by the Rev. J. BUVRILIt. who with great
judgment sod taste is selecting an assortment of
British birds. This elegant visitor possesses its ch..
rscieristic silkiness in crest end tail, its rich yellows
on the lips, its lately rose colour, and its brightue.s
of vermillion, in the eight homy excrescences on
each wing—as brilliant us so many drops of the best
sealing-was; wheuce one of its names—the Waxen
Chatterer of Bohemia: as it has been called dm-
pelis from its fondue's of grapes. The Grey Tins-

bird is a native of Europe, Asia, and America, but
has been seldom met with in the British Isles.
