interests as may be hereafter entrusted TO their

EcLEcnc MAGAZINE FOR ,ss.-The

TICLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,53.-The
IL sphere and the utility of the EcLEcric MAeA-
ZINE have become too well defined to require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, it fills place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds Of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous TO be reprinted as well
as too costly to be imported by the general reader
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but temporary local interest
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse IT, To select
from the whole field Of journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
sions Of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents Of the magazines, il the pur-
pose Of the ECLECTIC. The best parts Of all are
thus secured without the cost or ncuInbrance Of
the local or feeble parts Of any The main portion
Of the EcLEcTIc will continue TO be composed Of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly Of Great Britain
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments OF the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art, or craftsmanship. These plates
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIS who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
TERMs.-The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers of Ia large Syo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year, with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year if paid strictly in advance-otherwise SO.

DATENT GAS REGULAToR.-The in

DATENT GAS REGULATOR.-The in-
IL vcntor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks Of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use of il will be found fully 25 per in
cry persons gas BILL 1t can be SO adjusted as 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 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 n.op-
Grafton in some of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony TO lis value. 1t has also received the
united commentators of the press
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of
Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail
themselves of the economiser, can obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber who
has fitted one Of these Regulators up in his store
and will give an illustration of it.

Our Shin Canal.
morrow.

In speaking of the opening of James's
Creek for navigation, we advocate the
construction of a Ship Canal, of the
largest class. This is the only canal that
is commensurate with the wants of the
metropolis. Our coal trade is destined to
be OF such a nature, that it should be
connected with tide water by means of a
ship canal. The capital cities of the old
world, with not half the facilities and in
ducements which this city possesses,
have shown noble spirit in the con-
struction of public works. Let Republi-
can America treat her capital city at
least as we'll as the monarchies of Europe
treat theirs.
