the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro-
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Ameri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support OF the American Public and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor They still believe as they said al
the commencement OF the undertaking. that "a
popular magazine must amusc, interest, and in
strnct' They have still undated " faith in the
oppuience OF our own native resources, y and they
appeal 10 the experience of the last six months TO
show with what reason. s...., ....,
The first volume is now complete and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price 81 90.

nArENT Gas RECULAToR.-The in

i ventor (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 IS per cent. in ev-
cay persons gas bill. Il 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-
age 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
