DATENT GAS REGULAToR.-The In

Il yentor Or. Kidder of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks Of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use Of it will be found fully rs per cent in
cry persons gas bill. 1t can be SO adjusted to
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that of the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue to supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly, without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fuctua-
tons Of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light of a more
agreeable quality, in place of the blush white
color OF the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. AS
an evidence of its practical utility, il is now in OPP
Grafton in some of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. II has also received the
united concentrations Of the press
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city OF

themselves Of the economiser, can obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who

MAGAzINE.-1his number

W opens the second volume of Graham's Mag
azne for 1853, and we cannot refrain from thank
ing most heartily both the press and eur sub.
scribers for the encouragement afforded us to
persevere in eievating the literary and pictorial
character OF the work. The last volume embraced
every variety of Magazine illustration, and has
furnished TO our readers papers of ability upon oil
the topics OF interest which absorb the times and
also series OF articles Of purely literary char
acter Of higher order than have heretofore been
found in the monthly Magazines. II shall be our
aim 10 improve Graham still further in these
respects and BY careful attention and ENTERPRISE
10 command the pubic appreciation and support.
The Nsic Poinsnt-commenciIs with this num-
ber-will claim especial attention for the beauty
Of its pictorial illustrations. Ample arrangements
have been entered into with competent artists 10
secure proper variety Of the very best OF all
kinds of engraving-steel mezzotint, and wood
TO meet the expectations of our readers; and the
literary department shall be still further improved
