EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truth-
fulness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of
glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of
cases such thins cannot be matched, and of course cannot
be mended, The latter want has been obviated by an
extraordidary 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 mar-
ble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not
be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr.
Hall's, our neighbours, and the glass that has been
;cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other.
'The article is very cheap, and no house 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, ls. each, or sent free
on receipt of xtesien postage stamps.
