EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful-
ness, 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 obviated 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 per-
fect 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, 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, is each,
or sent free on receipt of sixteen postage stamps. N.B.—

THE BARRISTER AND THE YORKSHIRE " TENANT IN
POSSESSION."-Mr. Baron Martin tells a capital after-dinner
, story anent the way in which he was once " floored" by a
witness during the course of his career at the bar. It was
on a trial of an action of ejectment, brought to recover
possession of certain property in Yorkshire, as to which
a possessory title was set up ; and one of the chief
instructions to, the learned counsel who was retained for
the plaintiff was to endeavour to shake the testimony of
an important witness on the other side, who had been
known throughout the proceedinp as the " tenant in
possession." Accordingly, when this individual, a farmer
between 70 and 80 years of age, presented himself in
the witness box, the learned baron at once bean to
talk " big," and led off after this fashion : " Ahem ! °So, sir,
I believe you are the tenant in possession, eh ? " " I da'ant'
believe't---I'm sure on't," was the reply. "Well, now, I
suppose you are looked upon as a sort of oracle in the village,
ain't you! " " A what ? asked the witness with a puzzled
air." "An oracle, a sort of great man, you know ? "
"Oh ! aye ! may be I is," quietly replied the witness.
" Well, now," pursued the learned counsel, "as you are so
clever a man, of course you can tell me who made your
coat, eh ? " " Made't coat ? why the tailor to be
sure," was the reply. " Well, but what tailor ? "
" Why., Bill Tomkins, if ye wish to knaw ; but ye are
very inquisitive, young man," remarks the witness,
amid the rising titters of the court. The learned
counsel was gradually becoming alive to the fact that
in the "tenant in possession" he had caught a Tartar; but
not feeling disposed to •be shaken off without a further
effort, he followed up his interrogatories by next ask-.
ing
_the witness who made his breeches ? The old man
hesitated a moment ; then looking his interlocutor
full in the face, a roguish twinkle meanwhile lighting up
his eye, replied, " The tenant in possession thinks it a
saucy question, and declines to tell thee ?" This was
enough. From all sides of the court, from bench, bar,
jury, and auditors, there broke one loud, uncontrollable fit
of laughter, in the midst of which the learned counsel
nervously resumed his seat, and dismissing the witness,
declined to hazard another encounter with the " tenant in ,
possession" of the land and the breeches.
