'WERE is a CHAIR, for the Invention of J. which a PATENT was granted to ROBERT DAWS, of 17, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, four years ago. It is highly patronised by the Nobility sad G entr y, and the First Houses in the Trade, even his late Majesty honoured R. Dews with repeated comasends, and used them till the last hour of his ltib ; and theconstant ,:commendation of them by Ladies and Gentlemen (witty have bad them in use) to their Friends, and the host of Tebtimonialc R. DAM'S possesses is highly gratifying to feelings. It is not one of those things merely puffed off to catch the unwary, and make money change pockets, but is found to answer the purpose designed—gives general satisfaction, and is a fair exchange for money.— Its advantage consists in its numerous gradations of incli nation cf the back and arms, from the perpendicular near to the horizontal, each position is easily obtained and firmly fixable. The leading features of all are alike, but vary in ' , sutra, price ; and numerous appendages—they are gene rally usetul and ornamental to the library or drawing-room— have no unusual appearance—and in the event of fatigue, accident, or sickness, its comforts are unprecedented. Some ate admirably postale. Gentlemen in the army and navy sill find them worth notice for the great convenience as a chair or couch in little mom. They are with a little extra preparation admirable in spinal cases. " The great satisfaction it has given, and the recom mendation of it in many scientific works have induced man unprincipled upholsterers to sell an imitation of it, which we find, by , not admitting the nice alteration of the back and arms, does not eillord the extent of comfort as the ori ginal ; we advise the obtaining of it of Mr. Daws."—Dr. Reece's Medical Annual, for 1831.

CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MORI SON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY.— The President and the Board of the British College of Health, New.road, King's Cross, London, on referring the British Public to their former statement of the undoubted success of the Universal Medicines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Morbus in the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gardner, their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public another letter, received this day from the same gentleman, contain-' I ing a still more corroborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastating scourge : " To Messrs . Morison, bloat, and Co. " Gentlemen,—Having received a letter from Capt. Lang ley, of the Wading vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately arrived at Hull from Riga, I transmit you a copy, which. you will feelto be your duty to publish to all the world. •" Dear Friend,— Respecting the Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, which you so fortunately provided me with at Sunderland, I have every. reason to be- 1 here, and, indeed, I am convinced that that wirctise mesas of preserving my own life as well as some hundreds more at Riga, a great many of which I was an eye witness to. ' On my first arrival at Riga, I commenced taking the Pills as a preventive, or preparation for the attack, to stay its violence if assailed ; by which means a free passage through the body prevented the infectious air from producing that fatal cramp in the stomach and limbs which has caused the death of thousands. On the 28th of May, however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful disorder, and for the first four hours was in a deplorable state, but, thank God, trout the precautions I had used, the noxious air passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and a few strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to health. All my men (except one who was too timid to take the Pills with sufficient strength, from the fear of being too violently purged, who died in a few hours), took the Pills night and morning, and were saved. " • To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him some medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he ceased to exist soon after, first becoming cold as a lump of ice and of a dark blue colour. I cannot think the Cholera infectious of contagious from the touch, as none of us were „fleeted from handling the corpse. " • I left Riga on the Bth of June, and got down to Bauldra the same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate tu:.l a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful disease, an!, for six days, were in a distressing state, but with • close and powerfid application of the Pills, were restored to full health. " ' I am happy to say I have every reason to believe that this Medicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of this dread evil, but that its powers are best applied at an early stage, of as a preparative. The value of the Medicine was in the highest estima non at Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty nt?ply that could be obtained front me and the rest of the ‘es.els who had 'applies from you. Had I had 4100 worth more I could have sold them all, even to the French doctors that were there.' The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland from those vessels which had supplies of the Medicines out, speak with the same raptures of their efficacy. " I remain, Gentlemen, " Your humble servant, "MICHAEL GARDNER." lli,hop Wearmow•h, Aug. I, 1831." A'(THIR UNDOUBTED CURE OF THE CHOLERA IX ENGLAND. To Mr. Morison the Higeist.

But as neither of the combatants coin succeed in mak ing away with his opponent, ond consequently neither could put in his claim to the reward, they settled the dispute by agreeing to disencumber tnemselves or we, and were, mint, on the point of effecting their horrible purpose, when a beat of drums called them off.

THE PLAGUE AT BAGDAD. Extracts from a journal kept by a gentleman at Bagdad during the dreadful pestilence which de vastated that city in the months of April and May last:— SIR RICHARD ARKIVRIGHT. A person of the name of John liayse (said to be an acquaintance of Hargrave, inventor of spinning jennies), a resident of Preston, Lancashire, and a turner by trade, conceived the idea of spinning by machinery, and, as was natural to him, of draw log the thread and spinning it by the means of rollers. He had made some little progress, and had framed a model of his plan, when, in the im mediate neighbourhood lived a barber, of the name of Arkwright (after wards the celebrated Sir Richard Arewrightk who, having scraped an acquain•ance *hip with Hayse, wormed out of him the secret of, h inventban, and seditiously employed himself, in his many vacant hours, to imitate the production of his unsuspecting friend.—He was frequently so over sedulous in his occupation, that he neglected the more profitable employment of shaving and dressing his customers, to the great detriment of his finances' and the inconvenience of Mrs. Ark wright, who, like female inhabitants of Lancaohire, was not very friendly to spinning by machinery, and made continual and not very mild remon strances against his new occupation. In vain Arkwright represented to her the golden har lot he had in view that he was sure he &sold accomplish his undertaking, and ride in kiesarriage, a favourite expression of Arkwright's, slot treated ail his views as the most Visionary de lusions, and did not hesitate to term them building castles in the air. Customer after customer left the shop unshaved, and so intent was Arkwright,. that he frequently refused to obey the mandate to attenctto his waiting customers, till at length the patience of Mrs. Arkwright was quite exhausted.. 1 Shy morning, our projector being absent filer tbi popes, of pumping his friend Hayse, his shop being full of long-bearded 'customers, and eirier a shaver, she, in an evil hour f.r herself, took the fatal resolution to burn what she thought was the source of all her disquientdes. This was scarcely done, when Arkwright entered, and saw the wreck of all his studies in the destruction of his model. His rage for a moment was ungovernable, but, at length, be became calm, and, addressing his wife. he solemnly declared, " That she had committed a crime which he would never for give ; that, though he was positive he should yet ride in his carriage, she should never ben by ,his invention." This vote, it is confidently said, he tigidly kept. Tradition says that he, in the highest of his prosperity, only allowed her four shillings weekly, and that upon compulsion. Ark wright instantly took the resolution to quit Preston, an his wife end family ; and, following the track of Penland Hargraves, , came to Nottingham. Thus, drove by female domestic autho ity, and the more solid fear of the rude females of Lancashire, from his home, not having a model of Ws machinery for inspection, he commenced his business of a barber, and took a small shop in Bridlesmith-gate. Many ludicrous tales are rela ed of his conduct while framing his second model ; such as leaving his customers half shaved, when a sudden thought struck him, and attending to his model sap stairs. After much difficulty, he obtained a patron in Mr. Need, a very distinguished hosier, who was induced, by his representations " that he should ride in his carriage," to enable him to obtain a .patent, which was dated the 3d of July, 1769, and to build him a factory or mill, in Hockley, Nottiigham. Though Need had thus far pa tronised him, and Arkwright had begun to spin yarn somewhat extensively, it was of a wretched quality. Hargraves bad first improved the card ing of wool by the stock-card, instead of knee carding, and At kwright had introduced carding by rollers; but still he found himself completely baf fled to make a line of thread equal is size and free from burs or thick places, which the workmen had to stop to take out, in using it on the frame. The sanguine spirit of Arkwright bore up against these difficulties for five years. His partner, Need, bad expended 1111,000, and had realised no profit ; when he at length became impatient, and nearly resolved to abandon the concern as hope less. The mental sufferings of Arkwright were intense in the extreme, but still, in the midst of his dispair, he clung to his favourite idea; that be should yet " ride in his carriage." Need, dispirited at his loss, and finding all Arkwright's schemes to remedy the defects of his yarn abortive, used to taunt him in the bitterest manner.; holding up - the skein of yarn to the light, be had the unfeel ingness to exclaim, in the midst of his workpeople, .while Arkwright has stood by in anguish, " Pretty 'trthis. to make a man ride in Wilt aerrias• 1 ay stuff this, all bumps and burs ! Yes, yes ; pretty stuff this, to make a man ride in his car riage ! " The mental sufferings of poor Arkwright, it is said, were so great, that he, At times, resolved to abandon the concern altogether, and 1 are N. ed, the mill, and cotton spinning to their fate. For tunately for Britain, he resolved to make another effort, and to alter his usual plan of proceeding, which was, to intrust " no one " with his method of working and making his models. He had em ployed a turner, of the name of Coniab Wood, whom he found a man of some genius, and, what was of infinite value to him, he could execute what ho had planned in a ma .t rly manner. Arkwright took what seemed to him his last and desperate resolution, of incrusting his workmen and making him his confidant, by ex plaining to him the principles of his machinery. It happened with Arkwright, the same as with meet other ingenious men, that a second person 'of genius saw at once all his errors; and the lug.. Ili stious of Wood fla.lied like ligh , uitt,,, ,, upon the comprehensive mind of Ark . right. Hither to his rollers had been only turned with a plain surface ; practical experience of Wood suggested t the idea of Baiting them, that is, ma 4ing curved lines or indentations on their surface, and to aptly a Belies of rollers where he had only used erre pair, thus effect rig a complete revolution in his niacin wright, now certain of success,- in partner's opposition and taunts, insi rayed the whole of his machinety, assistance of his able coadjutor, rep: modelled, and, in part, rebuilt it. so intent, tvere these two ingeniom labours were to affect the whole horn they scarcer• desisted night or day.

CAUSE OF THE CHOLERA.—They write from Stettin that, " during the past summer. and par ticularly in the month of July, an interesting fact had been noticed in reference to the water of the Baltic—viz. that it had acquired an eztraordinary degree of heat which frequently exceeded that of the air. From this phenomenon, and from many others, naturalists have drswn the conclu s ion that there is a general internal derancement of the earth, which may have produced the minima which has manifested itself in as many qtt irters."— Prussian State Gazette.

FESTIVAL.—WhiIe here, we had an opportunity of attending a great Hind-•o festival. called Gangamma Tirnal, or the great goddess Gangamma, held in the village called Cocotta petta, distant In na Cuddapah about five milts. This was a most novel and effecting sight. About fifty thousand people were assembled in a sort of grove, around the filthy pagoda, in which was the object of attraction and adoration. Before the door of this swamp house the people were tacrificing s cep and g This to the idol all the day, and streams of blood flowed in all directions. Around this place is a wide road, on which multi tudes of bullock basket cart. were driven, from which grain of various kinds was thrown to all such as chose to receive it, in fulfilment of vows. Between twelve o'clock at noon it'd six in ' the evening, we saw 30 men and two women un dergo the ceremony of swinging upon hooks put through the skin of their backs. The machine which was used for this purpose was a bullock cart. Over the axle-tree a post was erected, over • the top of which a beam, about 35 feet in length, passed, and moved upon a pin. The longer end of this beam extendrd over the bullocks: at the and vf it Mae a equate fidelle at ached, adorned with young plaintain trees, in which two persons could stand. When the hooks were inserted into the skin, the ropes attached to the ho As were lashed firmly to the top bar of the frame, so as to allow the people to stand upon the lower bar. This being done, and we saw the operation per formed in several instances, the beam was raised upon its fulcrum, and the persons on its frame were elevated about twenty-five or thirty feet above the ground. Each person was furni bed with a dagger in one hand and a pocket handkerchief in the other. The machines, to which were joked six, eight, (en, or twelve bullocks, were now driven ar full speed round the pagoda three times, while the deluded wretches were brandishing the dagger, and waving the bsndkerch efs, occasionally resting their weight on the hooks. Sometimes six or eight of these machines wire driven round at the same time. On enquiring why the deluded kings sub mitted to this punishment, some told us it as in fulfilment of vows made to the goddess ; others, that they were hired by persons standing by, and received one or two rupees fur their trouble. Among the trees were stalls rind booths, in which were sold sweetmeats, victuals triAtets, &c. Here were jugglers, beggars, and pas ties of pleasure ; but eel v fewasek any nolico-of those loesid 'scenes wnicir -wider WM:tad our attetrixo.--ullassumsury Voyages . ~. . li. . ~~ jr .. m 4 l 1 112 . it : . ... 11 , 1 . ; ce,.. + p -- 0 , 4 r . • '. , 44 (.. atto• iinery.) tt nut- st at tr,atto of 1.. , I . nstritly-alvar- j anti, with' C.- • mrtangel, ri— Sn aeduLErt, , is men, wince . ii in race, that i The new-mo- I omit, in which, 3 1.,t/14, for se- ' 'l th it if, in Oa? o , thadifici. „ w.q.e to aw:e.;,• , e n.,+ .canons t,, I. in foil! fire, I ! to:s was con, •
