are relative; so to save one is to say. the other. We save
both time, and economise patience, and present good tempers,

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION. —There is nothing
that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want
has been obiiated by an extraordinary and effective invention,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery', near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our
neighbour's, an the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no louse can be long without it. • Mr: Hall is the
agent' for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
themselves by looking in at his establishment. Agent for
Liverpool, E.: T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles;

The strike at the Wharncliffe Silksfone
colliery which, when in full operation, employs between.
400 and 500 hands, and in which a capital of £70,000
has been sunk—still continues, with no likelihood of its
being brought to a close. It has already been protracted
to a period of nearly six months, during which time a
loss to a considerable amount has been entailed upon the
proprietors, Messrs. Jeffcock, Baxter and Co: In fact,
the strike now seems to have resolved itself into a battle
of principle, both parties being apparently determined
not to give way.
A DESPERATE HOUSEBREAKER.—At Wakefield, on
Monday, William Scabright was charged with breaking
into the premises of B. Hunter, cowkeeper, Talbot and
Falcon Yard, Wakefield, on Sunday morning last.
About six o'clock on that morning, while the prosecutor
and his wife had gone to milk,. the prisoner was seen by
a neighbour to effect an entry into the-premises through
one of the windows. lie at once gave information to
the police, and the constables hastening to the place, dis-
covered the prisoner ensconced under one of the beds.
£1 12s. 6d. was found beside him; but it was found
£3 15s. had been taken from a box. From the fact
that Dr. Walker (called in at the request of the pri-
soner himself) found half-a-crown sticking. in his
throat, it is supposed that he had swallowed the rest of
the money. The surgeon being unable to extract the
coin, forced it down into the prisoner's 'stomach. The
case was remanded till Monday next.
CLtVEIt CAPTURE OF - A HORSE STEA LER.-011
Sunday morning, about half-past one o'clock, Police
constable Thorpe was on duty at the top of St.
Peter's-street, Derby, when he met a man on horseback
gOing in the direction of Melbourne. Thorp went
up to him, and asked him where he had been Efo
early on horseback, and he replied that he had been to
the Wheel Inn, Friargate, Derby, car an errand for Mr.
Mayers, horse dealer. The constdble said he thought Mr.
Mayers would not send him out at Half-past one o'clock
on Sunday morning. The man said it was " all right,"
and then attempted to put the horse on, but the constable
.had a scuffle with him, and another constable coming up,
he was taken into custody. The constables then conveyed
the man and horse to Mr. Mayers, horse dealer, Siddels-
road, Derby, and it was found that the prisoner had
broken open the gates of the yard and stable of Mr.
Mayers, and had taken the animal away. Prisoner gave
the name of William Walkerdine, and it appears that he
was formerly in the_employ of Mr. Mayers, but had been
turned away for misconduct. He said to the police,
"You can give me three months for it."
ACTION ion SEDUCTION.—At the Kilmainbarn petty
sessions, on Saturday, the case of Bartlett v. Kelly was
tried. The facts of the case were these :—The real
plaintiff was Sarah Webber, the sister-in-law of Bart-
lett, and an interesting looking young woman. About
four years ago, while residing near Bray, she became
acquainted with the defendant, who is a carpenter and
builder. He paid constant attention to her, promised
sitaation being discovered, she was
herd finally seduced her. Having become
sister, Mrs. Barlett,-to .Liverpool -where

she was confined, and her child;died shortly after. In
some time after the departure-of the plaintiff for Liver-
pool, the defendant followed her; again promised to
marry her,' and obtained from her £2 10s. to purchase
the licence. But the marriage was broken off in con-
sequence.-of- the plaintiff?* confinement; -and-about--sr-
year since he married another person, with whom, it is
alleged, he got a fortune. Such was the evidence of
the plaintiff, which was corroborated by that of- Mrs.
Bartlett, who, moreover, stated in her cross-examina-
tion, that the defendant was a young man when the
cause of action_ arose; that she believed it was his inten-
tion to marry the plaintiff before her- confinement, and
that.the latter remained in _Liverpool two..years and' a
half afterwards, earning her. bread. His lordship
charged t'h'e jury strongly in favour of the plaintiff, and
stated' Viat the lapse of time was no answer whatever
to the action.—The jui y returned a verdict for £25
