There has lately been discovered IN
England mode of warming an apartment
by placing in the midst of it portable vase,
which emits neither flame nor smoke, and
which will raise the temperature OF the air
in room of any dimensions to the degree
required.
The vase is called the Portable Warm
ing Apparatus. You may, says an Eng
lish Journal set it on table or take it in a
carriage, and it will warm public hall, or
pew in church. What the invention
consists of is not yet known; nor will 1t he
made public till patents are secured for 9TH
er parts of the world besides England. 1t
is some chemical combination producing
combustion without flame, and generating
heat that radiates with such velocity as to
warm every part of the surrounding atmos-
phere almost simultaneously, without rais-
ing the temperature of the metal contain
ing it to such degree as to scorch any
thing coming in contact. Its consumption
of the oxygen of the mir is said TO be so
small that n vase sufficient to warm a large
room does not consume more than rush
light would, and its expense is almost as

twenth-four hours. A carriage or closet
might be warmed for fifteen hours at the
rate of one penny. This discovery j, is said
was accidentally made by market gard
ener while opening hot he'd.
Such is the account which is given of
this wonderful invention. The London
Spectator falls into a pleasant speculation
on the changes which it will effect in the
world. The Enelishman's freside.' of

Fourth OF July. The anniversary of this mem
orable epoch in Countrys history will be cele-
brated at Passumpsic Village, in Barnet, in man
ner we should Judge from the of preparation,
worthy of the day. AS it should be, all sects in re-
lIgion, all parties 10 politics, all local and personal
considerations to be forgotten on the occasion;
aud should the day prove be fair, will be graf
flying TO be- present. Mr. Il. E ADAMS, of Lyndon,
we underslsnd, has accepted the invitation Of the
Committee Of Arrangements 90 pronounce the ora
lion. A Baltimore paper makes the following ju-
dioious remarks relative TO the observance Of the
day
1t is to be regretted that for years past the
Anniversary Of our Declaration oflndepondence has
lost some of its observance as National festival.
Without wishing 10 see this memorable day cele-
brated with bosterous excess and unbeeoming Ii
centiousness, wo should be blessed to sac il made
the Of rejoicing and innocent mrth. If there
be occasion worthy Of The loftiost commemorn-
ton it is that which identifies itself with the birth of
free people. The mode Of showing honor 10 such
should be dignifed and exalted that may
correspond ia all respects with the circumstances
with which it is connected.
The fourth Of July should be the jubilee Of good
feeling and patriotism, and should be hon0rsd by
wise and tho good, the young and the old, not in
SCIENCES of debaucheIy but in the exercise of intel.
lectual enioyments in which all may participate
The nation that forget the era Of its political
creation will he unmindtul Of the blessings
which the occurrence has conferred, and shall
have cause deeply to regre, the time, come when
il may, that shall sec the day which Witnessed the
Declaration of Independence pass unheeded and
unhonored.

and MANY fear the effort will be successful, while
others apprehend no danger of its passage. There
is ground for experimenting thai the bill will pass in
some shape.

~ Tho follOwingIs that part of a communication
of general interest, which we have received, upon
the subject of banking. The writer, ifhe did not
notice the article published several weeks ago,
embracing outline of the new New York bank
ing bill, will perceive that his notions nearly cor
respond with the general features of that bill And
to carry them out in this State 1t would DO only ne
cessary for the Legislature to pass general hank
ing law like that of New York, when each County
could have its bank, with real estate security
for the redemption of ito bills tho free holders
chose to cover their property with mortgages-
With proper restrictions, such system would
doubtless be the best which possibly could ba de-
vised. Mr. CIays proposition to the Senate for Il

Mn EDlToK:- Believing that permanent paper

farm worth thousand dollars should be allow.
cd to hold share of two hundred dollars, or such
sum as mgh be thought best, with sufficient secu-
