IMPORTANT INVENTION.- A person of the name of Roberts, who is at present in Bolton, has constructed an apparatus, which will prove useful and valuable, in the highest degree. Its object is the safety of life and property, in cases of fire, or where any suffocating or noxious vapour exists. It consists of a hood and mouth-piece, so contrived, as to render the wearer enabled to breathe, with perfect ease and safety, in the midst of the densest smoke. In case of dwelling-houses, warehouses, factories. ships at sea, &c. being on fire, its advantages are incalculable. Roberts exhibited the efficacy of the above extraordinary discovery at the mines of the Earl of Balearras, a few weeks since. to the complete satisfaction of those who witnessed it. On Wednesday last he went into a stove-room, in which sulphur, hay, &c. were burning at the same time. He was shut in for the space of twenty minutes; and came out at the expiration of that time, perfectly uninjured. Had any one without the apparatus remained in the room longer than a minute, it would have been attended with certain death.- Bolton Express
There is at present in Newtownards, a barber, who wears every day, shoes, stockings, breeches, and coat, all of which he has wrought by the knitting needle alone! The coat is all of a piece, close before and behind, something after the form of a flannel waistcoat. His night-cap is also of his own manufacture; so that from head to foot his clothing is all of his own handwork, and wrought solely by the knitting needle. He has just finished by the instrument a large quilt of cotton, in which his name, place of residence, &c. are wrought in capital letters; and he has another quilt in hand, which will be ornamented with a variety of freemason's enigmatical figures together with his name, &c. and the number of that lodge at which he is a member.- Belfast Chronicle.
Old Age- If we would live long and well, (says Sir John Hill,) let us observe what kind of men they were who have in all times live longest, healthiest and happiest. We shall find them to be the wise and good, almost without exception. Temperate men have been long-lived at all times. Cheerfulness promotes long life; virtue is the source of cheerfulness; for what is so cheerful as innocence? Temperance is in the power of all, and virtue. These will give that calmness and tranquillity to the disposition, which will preserve life by keeping up its fire, and are the exact contraries of riotous mirth, and violent passion., which give a blaze, indeed, but which consume much more than they enlighten. Anger wastes, and even tears the frame; it is not worth the old man's while to give himself this discomposure; to live at ease, is what he has to wish; to live at ease is the sure method to live long.
Painful Operation.- Captain Bird, of the 5th Foot, who had two ribs fractured at the Battle of Albuera in 1811, was last week obliged to have one of them removed by a surgeon of Abergavenny. This gallant officer has occasionally suffered excruciating pain from the fracture, but we are happy to say, he is now likely to do well. Captain Bird lost the sight of his right eye at the battle of Vittoria, and had his left arm broken in two places at the battle of the Pyrenees. It is worthy of record, that H.R.H. the Duke of York, had an interview with him after his return from France, and ordered an ample provision for life for his services.

A destructive fire broke out on Sunday evening last in a stable belonging to the Pelican public-house, in New-street, Andover, which, together with the dwelling-house and three other tenements, were entirely consumed; and had it not been for the prompt arrival of the engines belonging to the Royal Exchange and Sun Fire Offices, aided by the exertions of the inhabitants, the whole of the buildings on that side of the street, which are mostly covered with thatch, would inevitably have been destroyed. The greater part of the persons assembled on the occasion appeared anxious to do their utmost to check the progress of the flames; but some thieves were very expert on the occasion, and several houses were robbed during the absence of their inmates: one family had just sat down to supper, which they incautiously left upon the table, and it was carried off before their return.
On Tuesday last Mr.J.L. Maud, Bailiff of Andover, at the request of several gentlemen, convened a meeting of the inhabitants at the Upper Angel Inn, on the subject of the late fire, when it was recommended to open a subscription for rewarding such individuals as particularly distinguished themselves, and for the relief of the sufferers. Upwards of �30. were subscribed in the room, and other sums have been since collected by gentlemen at the houses of the inhabitants.

Colnut v. Harvey, for an assault.- It appeared from the statement of Mr.Cossins, who attended for the plaintiff, that his client was a farmer, residing at Berrill, in the parish of Godshill, and that the defendant was also a farmer, living at Marston, in the parish of Arreton : that on the night of Saturday the 1st inst.Colenut, somewhat intoxicated, went into a public-house called the Plough, in the parish of Carisbrooke, where he met with the defendant, who appeared quite sober; that Colenut had no sooner seated himself, than Harvey upbraided him with having in his capacity of overseer, obtained pecuniary relief for a poor person, and defrauded him of part of it, which Colenut denied, and thereupon a bet of a sovereign was proposed and accepted; that whilst standing up to complete the bet, which originated with Harvey, he proposed an additional �5., when Colenut remarked that before any further bets were made, he thought it would be best for them to pay their debts, upon which Harvey, who is a powerful man, instantly knocked him down, and then took a stout stick, with a large club at the
end of it, belonging to Colenut, which was standing by the fire-side, with which he beat Colenut about the head and body as he lay on the ground insensible, and without a hat, and eventually knocked out one of his eyes. This statement was fully confirmed by Colenut and his witnesses, and thereupon Harvey was ordered to find sureties for his appearance at the next county sessions.
Died, the Widow Locke, aged 65 years; also Mr.Harvey, aged 88.
Melancholy Accident.- The son of Mr.Williams, of the Sloop Inn, at Wootton Bridge, was playing in the yard near the house, and the parents missed him for a few minutes, went in search of him, and found that he had fallen in a tub used for the purpose of putting hog wash in, and on taking him out, life was extinct.

Public Meeting at Dorchester.- At a meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Dorset, held on Saturday the 22d inst. at Dorchester, a Committee was appointed to receive applications for relief and to distribute the sums of money subscribed towards the relief of the sufferers by the late storms: W.M. Pitt, Esq. M.P., in the chair. The committee having been nominated, a meeting was appointed for Wednesday, at the town-hall, Dorchester. A subscription of �25 was presented by Col. Bower, from the Duke of Gloucester, enclosed in a complimentary letter to that gentleman. The venerable the Archdeacon presented �20. from Lady Caroline Damer, and contributed �5. himself, which, with �5. from the Rev. Harry Yeatman, and small sums amounting to �5. more, made up �60. The Chairman reported that the entire amount of contributions exceeded �300. which included �50. from Lord Digby, and about �70. besides from other inhabitants of Sherborne.
The Rev.Harry Farr Yeatman said that the meeting having been held for the laudable purpose of appointing a committee to appropriate the money raised to relieve the sufferers by the late storms, it could not be deemed improper to introduce to its notice a plan for the preservation of lives from the perils of shipwreck. The merit of this suggestion belonged to a gentleman who was on this and every occasion in which the best interests of mankind were involved, the strenuous advocate of the cause of humanity; he alluded to Mr.Harker. To the zeal and attention of that gentleman the merit of introducing the plan exclusively belonged.
The Rev. gentleman then called the attention of the meeting to the apparatus invented by Capt.Manby, and read a minute description of it from the Edinburgh Review; he then observed, that many lives might have been saved on the rocks off Portland if the means now proposed had been at hand. On the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, in particular, Captain Manby's plan had been applied with great success, no less than 220 persons having been saved by it from destruction, whilst only 19 persons had been rescued in the same time along the western coast; this result being known, a great moral responsibility would be incurred by those who rejected the plan, or refused to lend a hand to its general establishment. From the able report of Capt.Nicholls on the proposed Ship Canal, it would appear that several thousand lives had been lost on the coasts of Somerset, Devon, and Dorset, within the last thirty years, without any one effectual effort having been made to introduce the means of prevention; with these facts before their eyes, could any humane or considerate men hesitate as to the propriety of instituting the proposed society. The expense of the apparatus was exceedingly small - for about �100. per annum protection might be afforded to an extensive line of coast. It was impossible then to doubt that this excellent plan would be supported by the gentlemen of the county of Dorset. He would propose at once the appointment of a committee, who should procure information from Lyme, Bridport, Poole, and other places on the coast, as to the inclination of the inhabitants to concur in the meeting.
The Rev.Mr.Murray said, that he cordially approved of the measure and that he could speak with confidence as to Lord Ilchester's concurrence and support.
Mr.Pitt felt assured that Mr.Portman would be most happy to concur in the measure proposed - and he thought, therefore, that he should he nominated chairman of the committee.
It was finally resolved that a committee should be appointed consisting of the following gentlemen: the Members for the county, and for the towns of Dorchester, Poole, Bridport, and Lyme; Rev.E.Murray, Rev.W.A. Barker, Rev.J.Venables, Rev.H.F.Yeatman, Rev.G.Meech, Rev.J.M. Colton, Col.Bower, and Morgan Yeatman, Esq. who should meet on the 2d of March, for the purpose of reporting on the expediency of establishing the Society to a Meeting to be holden at the Assizes.
Great Western Rail Road.-A Gentleman of this city, having made some enquiries relative to the proposed Western Rail Road (of which on account appeared in the 4th page of our last Journal), has received, from good authority, information to the following effect:- It is intended that the Western Rail Road, or a branch of it, shall pass through Salisbury, and that arrangements will be made as soon as possible. It has been suggested also that a branch should pass from Salisbury to Bath, instead of Wincanton to Bath.

We are requested to state that the account in our Iast Journal, of Mr John Barnes, Agent to the London Sun Fire Office at Warminster, having been thrown from his horse and killed, is altogether a fabrication, no accident of the kind having happened.

PIMPERNE, Jan. 28.- Notwithstanding the mildness of the season, wild ducks are exceedingly plentiful in this neighbourhood, and the decoy here has afforded much sport of late; great quantities of wild fowl have been netted and strange to say, amongst them, on Thursday night last, a very fine young flapper.
