In calling public attention to his imp roved Peruke, J. Barr begs leave to state the superio r it y of hi s system to that of his contem poraries. The great dislike to perukes in general arises from the altered air they give the countenance, occasioned by makers paying no regard to the manner of the natural hair growing on the forehead, which, being different in every individual, requires a corresponding difference in the actl Peruke- y By Bares system, the p eru k e i s ma d e to describe ex the same angle on the forehead as the natural hair, a nd being completely carried off from the temples, defies the closest scrutiny of the most proficient connoisseur to distinguish it from a perfect natural head of hair. J. Barr begs leave to inform the Ladies, that he has discovered a process by which the usual unseemly appearance of the parting of th e h a i r i s obviated.

Bills having been placarded in various pails of this town last week, announcing that on Sunday, at one o'clock, "The Spirit of Prophecy would be revealed in these days, showing that the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth is at hank &c. by John Wroe :" at that hour a considerable number of persons had as sembled in and about the school-room occupied by the Jerusalemites as a preaching house, near Marsh lane Head. It *was nearly two o'clock, luiwever, before the preacher arrived to fulfil his engagement; and such grew the impatience for his presence, that those who had gone from motives of curiosity, began to take their departure, and several of his bearded diSciples might be observed in the - vicinity of the place, on the look out for the Prophet's appearance. At length he came; and, as the preaching house was too small to hold the multitude, the congregation in side were requested to adjourn into a stable-yarded joining. There, after singing a, hymn (which had intelligible allusioes to John Wroe's "spiritual mis sion," and the "superior light". shown to the Jeru salemites), and after a prayer had been put up by one of his disciples, the Prophet commenced his ha. rangue. He took no text; but requested that, howl ever much any disliked his doctrine, decency might be observed. After alluding to the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah because they tvould not repent, and to the obduracy of the Israelites, who refused to listen to the voice of Noah, previous to the destruc tion of the world by water, he expressed his convic tion that the people in these degenerate days would trample under foot the Scriptures, and disbelieve the warning that he was commissioned to deliver— namely, that the World would shortly be destroyed by fire ! He computed the period from the Creation to its destruction as three days, each day con taining 2,000 years ! From the time of Adam to Noah's flood was the first day ; 'from the deluge to the birth of Christ was the second day ; and the third was the present, or" the Gospel day," which was far advancing to its close. All• these things, and many others, he said, were revealed to him when he was forty years of age, in visions! Until this period of his discourse, the most profound attention had been paid by his auditory; but, as . the Prophet was going on to explain . the . difference between a vision and a dream, a young man who was within a short distance of him exclaimed, with great gra iity and an audible voice, " It. must have been the night-mare !" Upon this, many people so far forgot the decorum due to public worship as to laugh aloud; but the preacher, after severely rebuking the individual who had caused it, and informing his con gregation that he was a licensed teacher, proceeded. It would take him, he said, too long a time, even many hours, to tell all that he saw, or all that.the Lord had shown him ; but he would mention a single instance. It was one Saturday night, as he was seated in his house about two. o'clock in the morning;" (some person here called out, " A'n Irish bull," and forthwith out burst an almost universal horse-laugh ! In consequence of this, the particular vision was not fully explained.) In the course of his discourse, he affirmed that he had visited Ger many, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Scotland, 'i n a ll which places h e had " delivered his mission," not taking silver or gold, or any thing payable of any man, and that he had still much work to perform on the same terms ! He also declared that the present generation was born in fornication; and gave an ex planation of the cause of his own sect wearing their beards. Acco4cling to his account, th ere i s t o b e t h e exact number of 144,000 saved out of the twelve tribes of Israel, who are all to come into England, so that, it appeais; at no very distant period, this country will become" the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth." The flowing " beard of the prophet," ex ceeded any thing of the kind we have ever seen, and, we presume, had grown with the growth of his inspiration.—Leeds Intelligences.

A Professional Man, who has made this ex cruciating Disease his particular study, respectfully informs those labouring under it, that he has, by his mode of treatment, succeeded not only in reducing the pain, but brought it to be se moderate as seldom to confine the pa tient' 'More than a fortnight. The pain itself in the Gout is found grievous enough to endure, but the consequences of it to a man in active life are, perhaps, more intolerable; who, therefore, in their senses, would be content to undergo many sleepless nights in torture, to suffer their constitution to be debilitated and subdued, their limbs it may be dis torted, or at best rendered almost useless, and to be in a manner excluded from business and the world, when it is in their power to prevent this misery by lowerinc , their pain and shortening its duration? •It may be thought the advertiser has made professions beyond his power of per formance, but so confident does he feel of the success of his treatment, that to those arthriticks who may employ him, and find they have been misled, he will most cheerfully allow his advice and attendance to go without remunera tion.

SHOCKING DISCOVERY. Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the inhabitants of Old Round -court, Strand, and its vicinity, were thrown into the utmost horror by the following appalling circumstance :--At about the time above-mentioned, as a young woman, of the name of Windsal, residing in Old Round -court, was proceeding from her house, which adjoins the ruins where some old houses latterly stood, she per ' ceived what she supposed to be a dead dog, but thinking it had a most remarkable head, she was induced, by curiosity, to further inspect it, when to her indescribable horror, s h e f oun d i t to b e a child, apparently between two and three months old. The beadle of4St. Martin's parish was immediately sent for, who inspected the infant, and found it in a most dreadful state. It had scarcely any covering on, and what there was, which appeared to be only an old shirt, was partly eaten away by vermin; one of the hands was entirely off, with nearly one of its arms, and its toes and knees seemed, from their mutilated state, as if they had been gnawed by either what remained o f th e i n f ant pelt e most c' disgusting t and appalling s p ec t ac l e . rats res or i d d og a s ; in fn It is evident that some monster must have depo sited the child in the spot where it was found the preceding evening, or early in the morning, as the place is so open that it could not have laid long there without its being discovered. The remains were deposited in a shell, and conveyed by the beadle to St. Martin's workhouse to await the Co roner's Inquest. INQUEST ON THE BODY. Yesterday afternoon an Inque s t w as h e ld a t the sign of the Monmouth Head, Castle-street, Leices ter-square, before T. HIGGS, Esq. Mr. Gozna, surgeon, stated th a t h e had exam i ne d the body, and was of opinion, from appearances, that the child could not have lived (if at all) more' than three or four days, and that it must have been dead at least three or four weeks. CORONER-- , -DO you think the child was born aliTe ? Witness—From the appearance of the um bilical cord, I should say that the child lived some hours. Rebecca Windsal described the manner in which the child was found. • Juror—Did you observe a string round the child's neck ? Witness—l did, Sir. George Lemon, one of the officers of St. Alartiu's parish, saw the body; there was tied tightly round the neck a long piece of twine. . _ _ Verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." very general satisfaction, and th ere i s a disp os iti on t o augur The return of the quarter's revenue has given a further y • s teady Increase of th e na ti ona l resources .— Ti mes City Article. w FA I R.--The sheep fair cOM u inenced Ee on n Wednesday. The quantity penned was un usually large, mid ewes, lambs, and wethers, were bought eagerly at an advance of from 3s. to ss. per head. Horks were plent i ful and dull of sale. Ch eese was a l so very heavy. The hop fair commenced to-day. Between three and four thousand pockets of Farnham and country hops were brought in, and the planters asked.from 71. to 6/. Bs. for the best samples, and from 51. to 61. 6s. for seconds and countries. The buyers, however, refused to give these prices, and a very few pockets only have found sale. The planters state that this year's crop does not exceed on those of last year's, whilst the buyers maintain that the last year's crop is for the most part still in the hands of the brewers and publicans, the moderate price and tine quality of last year's growth having induced every man who had capital to purchase freely. The general opinion is that the best Farnham's will yield about 71. per cwt. The quality is most excellent. Nuts are selling at 6s. per bushel. L,... : .:N -.,- , _ - S t° KING, OCTOBER 13, 1827 MORE AMUSING VIIAN CREDIBLE. Two months ago, there came to Marseilles a adventurer named V . He introduce himself to the family of Mr. X , who re ceived him with entire confidence, arid for whom lie said he had had several letters of recommen dation, which he had lost on his journey. En dowcd with a ready elocution, and possessing fascinating manners, he succeeded in engaging the affections of Mr. X s youngest daughter. When'he was assured of the confidence of the rest of the members of the family, he thought proper to put his project into execution. One day when Mr. X- and his children .were at table, the , door opened, and Mr. V made hi s a ppearance in the coLtume of a savage ; white feathers waved over his head and around his body; his arms were naked, his legs - covered with rings, and a bow in his hand. He saluted his host profoundly : and in the midst of the gen e r a l astonishment, he spoke as follows :—" -You will take-me . a madman—undeceive yourselves ; I am a King, and King of Timhuctoo, a large and powerful kingdom situated in the centre of Africa. You shall learn how I came from a midshipman, whish I was, to attain' my present exalted rank. Listen. I was on board the Me dusa when she was cast away on the coast of Africa, on the banks of Arguin ; my companions were drowned: stronger than they were, I saved myself by swimming, and landed on the coast which borders on the great desert of Sahara. For several months I walked on without discovering a single habitation. Not to weary you with the recital of my sufferings, I shall 'merely say that I was met by some Moors, who captured me, carried me to Timbuctoo, and sold me to the King, who was delighted to possess me when he kneW that I understood a little of medicine. He fell ill, and my cares restored him to health. This cure obtained me very great honour. At the end of threi months he again fell ill; but whether it was Wit nature did not second my efforts, or that my skill was defective, the King died. The people, who in that country choose the sovereign, seated me on the throne of Tim buctoo. Possessor of a kingdom, where no foreigner except me had ever put his foot, I caused myself to be admired by the wisdom of my laws. Always thinking of the future, I amassed mtnense treasures, and time has shewn me tha this precaution was not useless. An ambitious man spread among the people a report, that I had not submitted to that operation which was indispensible for those who reigned ; this was to have my nose cut off. My enemies united them selves to this ambitious man, and it was resolved to cut off this prominent part of my counte nance, or make m e give up the title of King. In this situation I had no person in whom I could place confidence, and I took a desperate part. One night, when all my subjects were asleep, I carried off my treasure, and left the city of Tim buctoo without knowing on what side to direct my steps. I proceeded straight forward, and after a forced march of 40 days, I found myself on the borders of the ocean, where an English vessel, which was there to prevent the slave trade, received me on board, and carried nie to Eng land, whence I am soon to return, to place myself at the head of fifteen hundred men, who Will re store me to the throne of Timbuctoo. _But my wishes are not limited by that. I wish to become the husband of your daughter; and although she has only 100,000 francs for her portion, it will be delightful for me to select her for my Queen." Here V- was silent, and the whole family cried out, " He is a King, we should never have believed it." The father did not make me wait long for his answer; and with a voice agitated by vanity and surprise, he said—" Sirc, since you haves deigned to condescend to love my daughter, I give her to you fora wife. But h ow can you forget the little attention we have shewn towards you ? How—" " Let us speak no m ore o f that," replied V—; " permit me only to make a little present to the Queen, my future wife," and he, at the same time, drew forth a large collar of false precious stones, with which he surrounded the neck of Mademoiselle X—, and every one was in ecstacy at the generosity of the King. At the desert the health of V— was drank, and cries of "Long live the King!" made the glasses jingle. The next day V— requested of his future father-in-law ten thousand francs to procure a crown ; not that he wanted money, but he was anxious to become the debtor of Mr. X. The latter immediately counted him out the sum. He then left the house, and never appeared there again. The family was desirous of keeping the whole affair secret ; and had it not been for a mere accident, the public would not have known the history of the pseudo King of Tinibuctoo. One day last week, a poor woman, ac companied by her husband, both in a state of wretched destitution, came into Stamford, and as is usual with persons of their class, the woman walked to Burghley House, to solicit alms, either in the shape of money or broken victuals. Per haps since the tender . Sarah Noggins first adorned the splendour of Burghley by becoming its mistress, a greater surprisehas n ot been ex perienced within its precincts.

When an individdel is about to quit this world, at a certain period previous to his departure, anti always in the night-time, a phantom exactly resembling the devoted person, is thought to issue from the sick chatn ber, with a small pale taper in its hand, and to proceed through the road over which the funeral is to pass, to thi. church-yard. After entering the sacred edifice, the phan tom issues out again, the candle still burning, and proceed► to the spot where the grave is to be opened ; and there this fearful apparition of phantom and candle descends into tin and earth disappears. TANNING AND WEA VlNG.—There were tic two trades that suffered more severely during the late com mercial distress than tanning and weaving. The weaving is very brisk at present, every hand is employed, and goods are on the advance, but the wages are still so low, that very few are able to liquidate any portion of the debt they contracted during the dullness. Since the middle of April, the tanning has bees in a state of slow but progressive im provement, and at present most of the old and establishes' concerns are so throng that they find it difficult to get their orders completed in due time. The unique toast, " cheat meal and dear leather," is a favourite with this body, awl hence the intelligence of the breaking off of the treaty be. tween Buenos Ayres and Brazil was heard with pleasure. as it had the effect of raising coarse hides a penny a pound, and increasing the previous vivacity of the business. The society in Edinburgh have not been called on by a single tramp for upwards of a month—a circumstance which indi cates that the country tan-works have their share of th , prosperity of the business.—Scotsman. The annexed account of the method of print publication, the derived . great print jeoting figures on ware, is fro a m ud an d issa A y r o t : .. t ,_ he i si t ti fi . o f Earthen Ware and Porcelain, by Park, an English writer, the whole of which essay may " Bostor be found in that useful Journal of Philosophy ./Egis. Press. The use of this valuable 'machinef which adv T at h it e ag l e )ot f t r e o r rn s o t f he E i n n g tr l o a il d uct h io a n t7 of t:Ze Printing is comparatively of late date, has enabled the . ., manufacturers to produce* greater variety of pat.. terns, and of neater execution, than could pos sibly be acquired at a small expense by the pencil. As this is a curious bran c h o f t h e b us i n e ss , i t will be proper to describ e . itie little more parti cularly. It consists in first piinting the intended pattern with some metallic eolour, chiefly the oxide of. cobalt,. on what is called silver paper,_ and then in transferring the colour bout th e paper to the surface of the porcelain. This style of Colouring ea . them ware is a very successful unite don of the old' blue porcelain of China, and of . late years has been the means of extending' the consumption of British pottery. throughout Europe more than any other improvement in the manufactory ; for the potters of China are totally unacquainted with the printing press, and conse quently all their designs are produced by the pencil alone. of the l This i s earthenm o anode of w a i r m e pa o r r tl o c r l c e e s l i a g n t i i s , t a u nd the wl s i u ic r l f. i ac i e known in the trade by the appellation of " blue printing," is managed somewhat in the following manner :-- One man constantly attends the press, which is very similar to our common copper-plate print ing press ; and as soon as he has applied the colour, which is laid on the copper in the same manner as the copper-plate printers apply the ink, he lays it upon At hot iron, to thin the oil with. which .the colour *always mixed for this purpose. .The oil which is used is a peculiar preparation of boiled linseed oil. When the colour upon the copper-plate is thus reduced to a proper consistence, a sheet of silverpaper is laid over it, and the workman passes it, with the paper, through the press. For blue printing, the oxide of cobalt is the only mineral which is employed. This is largely prepared in d s h t i o t 6 h o. esStthaffe pound, ordshie a p e o c t o t r e d ri i e n s g , and to i ts s sells from in tensity and goodness. Indeed, such improve ments have been made- in the manufacture of this colour, that the. Chinese potters are now supplied from England. with all the cobalt -they consume. When the paper comes from the printing press, it is of course found to be stamped with the in tended pattern. It is theu delivered, while wet with the colour, to a girl, who cuts off' the super fluous paper with a pair of scissors, and passes it to another girl, who immediately applies it to a piece of biscuit wafer and then delivers it to a third, who fixes it more firmly by rubbing it very hard with a piece of flannel tightly rolled up in the form of a short cylinder. The design of this hard rubbing is toloree the colours into the pores of the ware.. When the papers which , have been thus applied„hare lain for about an hour, the colour is generally found to be sufficiently fixed to admit of their being detached. This is effected by putting the articles into a tub of water, where the paper soon becomes soft and pulpy enough to allow of its being', peeled off by gentle friction, leaving the full impression of the pattern upon the biscuit. The papers having been removed, the ware is suffered to stand a sufficient time to become dry, and then it is put into an oven at alow heat, for the purpose of dissipating the oil, and preparing it fer receiving the glaze. It must be obvious that it is necessary to employ a glaze which is transparent, in order to give full effect, to the brilliancy of the cobalt colour. A little of this blue oxide is also ge nerally mixed with the glaze, for the same pur pose as laundresses employ., smalt with then starch, viz. to increase the ehiteness; by subdu ing any yellow tint that might otherwise impair its lustre. Here I cannot avoid observing, that it would be an important acquisition if some suitable article, instead of oil, . could be discovered for mixing with the colours which are employed for printing on earthen ware, and which could be of . such a nature as not to re q uire to be burnt ofr previously to the application of the glaze. It appears tome to be worth while to institute a series of eiperimencs,.forthis particular object ; because, if it could be .attained, what immense quantities of printed goods, besides those which are ornamented by the pencil, might be com pletely finished with two firings instead of three, which, on the, present plan, such goods always require ! Were it on no other account than the expense of this, vehicle,. it is desirable to find a substitute. Some of the first enamel painters think it necessary to use even the best rectified oil of amber, and this of lite years has been very costly. p kr n r ce i 9 e n t thein g Lan..tw o will, war , which, dored uifffbe rte rn h teoono twt is, s e c o v ot e mlho r eeuf fanciful possibility m c a i et f u o l oerh i cot oe ni r.
