Aeio England Magazine. — We have already pub- 

 lished ill our adverlisMig cohmns, ihe table of con- 

 tents of Biicknighatn's New England Magazine, 

 No. 6, and we have had pleasure in giving our 

 readers a taste of iliose contents l>y several vahi- 

 ahle extracts from the work. The work was un- 

 dertaken witli a view to try the market with a sta- 

 ple article of home production — and that justice 

 tiiigiLt be done to all, it was determined to is?ne 

 the work for one year ; one half Ihe time has ex- 

 [lired, SIX numbers liave been regularly published, 

 luid each successive number has evinced a decided 

 improvement in the quality of tiie contents. The 

 cause is obvious — the work has acquired a char- 

 acter, and good writers covet the New England 

 Magazine as a medium for their productions, and 

 we tliink a discriminating public will likewise cov- 

 et the .Magazine for the same productions. — Uni-

The following' is from the Montreal Gazette on 

 the l"2th inst. 'We have used the Liquid Gas 

 and find it resembles the coal Gas so strongly as 

 to render it impossible to discover any diflereiice 

 by the eye. The Liquid Gas possesses many ad- 

 vantages over oil. It emits no smoke, causes no 

 disagreeable smell, can be increased to any de- 

 gree of intensity without causing smoke or put- 

 ling the wick out of or<ler; all of which difficul- 

 tiesare experienced in Ihe use of oil.
