respected treasurer of the Theatre, took his allllll3
benefit last evening, and we wore pleased to find the 110°',,
crowded in every part ; in fact, so many persons vrere
unable to obtain admission that the performances are to be
repeated this evening. The programme consisted of the
"Willow Copse," the new burlesque of "Pan," and t.4,°
screaming farce of the " Steeple-chase ;" pieces alre3d 11:
favourably known to the public. During the evening ,:,
celebrated soprano Miss Russell delighted the audience

PRINTING APPLIED TO POTTERY.--At
likewise an art was making its way in LiverPe°l'ol/1
which, as applied to the decoration of his improved ere .t;
ware, Mr. Wedgwood was soon to find the great utill
5..
This was the application to glazed earthenware of irarr,ebe
sions taken upon paper from engraved copper-Plates;
or
ware after printing being passed through the asill,eo3o
enamelling oven to fix the colours. The discovery c'
art had been made in 1752, or indeed previously, from oir
John Sadler, a master printer of Liverpool, who, froul Dad
serving some children stick waste prints, which had
given them, upon broken pieces of earthenware they
~ea
brought from the pot works near at hand, had concelyr
the idea of this new application of the printer's art. rufte,
time he occupied himself with experiments in -which, v"tian
many fruitless trialti, he succeeded. When his
in
was thus nearly perfect, he communicated it to his IL—,,is
Mr. Guy Green, who, likewise a printer, had sera 0•
apprenticeship to Mr. Sadler's father, and had noirbu„,
seeded him in his business. From this time the frieo'to
conducted their experiments together ; and entering
is
partnership, they determined to apply to the King f!fr,
patent. With this intent they procured all the neceso'
5,,;,
certificates and other papers to show their claim to the
vention, but ultimately they were dissuaded from taldfix.
this step by their friends, who not only considered thefera
pense, delay, and publicity connected therewith, hut otyl
also certain that, with ordinary prudence, their secret eiitae
be safe for a period at least, and that they had thrums in
to fear from opposition. They therefore lost no ajang
such patrons, or in loitering about law courts; hut, t,taest
heartily to their new trade, prosecuted it with the -s"
zeal.—Meteyard's Life of Wedgwood.
