MR. NOTTER'S BENEFIT.-01IF old friend Notter, to
whose civility every frequenter of the boxes of our theatres,
has on divers occasions been obliged, takes his benefit to-
morrow at Astley's. How often has Notter been thus ad-
dressed—" I have taken these places, you will remember, Mr.
Notter," and Notter always has remembered. Let all those
therefore whom he has thus remembered return the compli-
ment and remember him.
NOTlCE.—Messrs. Ferguson, of Holme Head Works
(trading under the firm of Joseph Ferguson), having a second
time obtained an injunction in the Vice-Chancellor's Court
against the use of their trade marks upon Silesias, and it
having been deposed to at the trial that other houses besides
the defendant had so used them, Messrs. Ferguson give this
public notice, in the hope that it will be a sufficient warning
to the parties in question, and obviate the necessity of fur-
ther proceedings. Holum Head Works, near Carlisle June
30,1846.
PRESENTATION OF A PRINTING MACHINE.—On
Monday last the ceremonial of presenting a steam printing-
press to Mr. J. Barker, the well-known lecturer, took place
at New Wortley, near Leeds. The press was valued at
4001., and had been raised by the subscriptions of those who
admired the principles which he advocated in the several
periodical publications which he had issued, from time to
time, from a handpress, which had been given to him by his
religious friends some years ago. The sheet for the first im•
pression of the new press was laid on by Dr. Bowring,
and was taken off by Dr. Bateman of the Excise Office,
London, in the presence of a large number of friends; after
which about two hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to
a luncheon, under the presidency of Dr. F. R. Lees, a tee-
total lecturer. In the evening of the same day, about five
hundred persons of both sexes took tea together in the saloon
of the Music Hall in Leeds, at which Dr. Bowring, M.P.,
Dr. Bateman, and other gentlemen attended. Amongst the
company were about one hundred and fifty persons from
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who arrived by train from that place
too late to witness the ceremonial at Wortley.—Leedspaper.
