IMPORTANT TO PRINTERS.--We are happy „tc.
communicate to our brethren of the press, that we have found a sit°':
and economical substitute for the ordinary ley used for washing °l's:
and which is applied by a method which does not deteriorate the let'e
so much as the brush or swing trough does, and clears away the ink t4_sa
more effectually than either receipt. Put into a close earthen 'er-0.,
two Scotch pints of rain or river water ; take one pound Of caustic e
unslaked lime, and one pound of pearl ashes, and mix them an'°", ',,, •
water ; cork the bottle and shake well for twenty minutes ; then
aside, and allow the ingredients to settle. In the course of next davit
should be carefully poured out, quite transparent, into another ye, solo,
wept:riot
where it may be kept for use, always taking care to secure it
the action of the atmosphere. Thus, an alkali of the most 1)°,`,..j0i,
kind is produced; the application of which, while it cleans off to'
and dissolves picks on the face of the letter, has not the slightest Ley
:tx,
deucy to injure the metal, as we have proven by numerous experiute
It is used for washing jobs, &c., by being poured on a small pt
sponge, which should be firmly tied on the end of a stick, like Seft. ie
otherwise it will seriously injure the fingers of the operator. A"`:„
has been once laid on, the job is cleansed from the alkali by da510"!f,.,,,
couple of pailfulls of water on it. We may add that half a fartinutio
worth of this ley will be sufficient to wash the largest form, and 01551%.,
accomplished in five minutes. After a most satisfactory trial of twea,
months, we would recommend it to the trade. Having felt its adva
taxes, we are anxious that all our brethren should participate in the v'
nefit of our discovery.—Forres Gazelle.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle.)
The cases of which we have heard are numerous and the amount
considerable, but as they all have a great similitude to each other, w i
shall only enter into the details of one of them. A respectable dealer n
Berwick, a short time since, received a business like letter from Olas.
_
gow, requesting information as to the price of his goods with the casts
and credit prices of the different sorts. Of course the expectation of
deing business with a Glasgow house induced a polite and ready reply'
In answer, the Glasgow house wrote that, as the prices of the best sort
were rather too high, only one ton of it won' ld be required, but of the in.
ferior, four tons might be sent, and at the same time the Berwick trader
was told, that as he bad never done business with his new friends 5.1_,
Glasgow, a letter of guarantee, signed by a J. P., would be sell! it
wished, but, as the transaction was to be cash on delivery of the 11,7
voice, perhaps he would not require it. This seems to have been the
case, for the goods were duly shipped for Port-Dundas and the
voices dispatched per post without further inquiry. The Berwick trader:
after waiting anxiously for a remittance for his 651. worth of goods lb.
three days after the money should have arrived, bethought himself 01
starting for Glasgow to see after his new connexions. Having arriv
he applied to Captain Jeffrey, of the Gorbals Police, stated his case.,
and showed the letters lie had received, dated from the Captain._
side of the water. The Captain, with his usual exactness ::
all cases, immediately set about the business, and traced out the
party. The Berwick trader having se en that he was likely to be 3 losers
,
got into high words with his new customer and had Win banded over cv
the police. Next morning he accompanied Captain Jeffrey to r°rt.
Dundas, to see if the goods were got on board ship but found lie w'3.too late; the whole having been removed. Following on his informai
manestion, the Captain proceeded to the Gallowgate where about a tenth, e_
the goods still remained, the rest having been sold. lint to manes
long story short, nothing could be farther made of the affair, as 11
'
could only be made out to be a debt ; and, as the Glasg°
trader was unable to pay, the ease had to be Siren 01.
Shortly after this matter had been disposed of, the "'—
fain was surprised by another visit from a Hawick merchant, vilyie
it appears, had sent goods to the same parties. The result in this ca.!
was, that nothing could be got, though the parties were known. The
next was a Jedburgh trader, who was served in a similar manner, au.
in short of all the transactions nothing whatever could be made. Th!
Glasgow house had its place of business in Gorbals, but finding 01
they were beginning to be well known, they decamped, and have
since been heard of. We believe, however, that the business has he. 7:
resumed with a new connexion, and under another name, on this sio.:
of the water. At all events, a trader in Fifeshire has been served in
exactly the same manner as his border friends were.
