SAVING LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.—A public meeting
was held in the News Rooms, Port Madock, on Tues-
day, the sth inst., for the purpose of hearing from Mr.
Lean, the secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners' So-
ciety, a description of a new life-boat, to be stationed at
Criecieth, built by Messrs. Forrest, of Limehouse, after
the model of Mr. Peake, sent by that institution, to in-
spect the same from the Quay, and to consider the best
means of promoting subscriptions for her support. Many
influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood were present.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Solly, the honor-
ary secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society at
Port Madock, that subscriptions and donations had been
raised in the neighbourhood to the amount of 1021. 19s.
9d., and that the expenses incurred by that society
amounted to 3241., which had been spent in building a
life-boat, carriage, and boat-house, with stores and inci-
dental expenses. Mr. Lean, RN., fully stated to the
meeting the principle on which the boat was built, which
was considered highly satisfactory, and on inspection
gave every promise of being very efficient. A vote of
thanks to N. N. Solly, Esq., for his benevolent exertions,
was passed unanimously ; as well as to Francis Lean,
Esq., R.N., for his kind attendance from London in
furtherance of the objects of the meeting ; and also to
Nathaniel Mathews, Esq., for the manner in which he
had conducted the business of the day. The meeting
then separated.

[AnvsarisEmzsr.]—Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for
valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power-
ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and
Perspective Glasses(glazed with Munic German Glass), to know
the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im-
portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob- '
serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess
such extraordinary powers that some 3ti inches, with an ex-
tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's
ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
said au object from 12 to 14 miles. They aro of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex-
hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the sizeof a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power.
The valuable advantage derived front this invention is, that
vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag-
nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that' possibly could be desired,-39, Albemarle-street,
Picc4cllll7 Obaerve— opposite t4e. gptel."
