The recommendations of it, in many scientific works, have induced many unprincipled Upholsterers to sell an imitation of it, which, we find, does not afford the same extent of comfort to invalids, or as an ordinary Resting Chair as the original. We, therefore, advise the obtaining of it of Mr. Daws."—Dr. Reece's Medical Annual, 1831. " Among the conveniences which married ladies should be provided with, we must particularise that excellent invention of !Sir. Daws, from which it is found that ladies are enabled to en joy that rep ,, se which is so essential to their health. The ad vantage consists in allowing the back and arms to be adjusted by the person sitting in it, with the most perfect security,so as to be upright or inclining; and by being furnished with peculiar wheels (which can be instantly detached,) ladies can move them selves in rooms even crowned with furniture, and with so slight a motion of the hand, that the ax iom of mechanics (motion with out friction) would at tirst appear accomplished."—Found in a Manuscript of the late Dr. Reece. ROBERT DAWS respectfully states that no other prin ciple does, or can, admit of half its variations or numb( r of steady positions, comfort, simplicity, strength, and elegance; and he will present one to any respectable person showing the contrary. The same Chair may be had portable, also with wheels, by which persons can move themselves in a room, garden, or lawn —May be bad on hire. ADVICE. —When Alen of Education and ' professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe- ' rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cute of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too eften unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constitution beanie enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mistiken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it hut justice to themselves to state, that they havelseen properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cates of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials from the most eminent Professors, they hive to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general practitioner ; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. -The result of a long and extensive practice his enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Corn plaints however inveterate cr complicated, without sub jecting th e P at i ent to t h e l east restra i n t in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which has never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and inju rious methods had been pursued by other practitionets without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention. —Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, en losing a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for warded to any part of the world.

EXETER, MAY 26.—Our county meeting took place yesterday in tLe Castle-yard. During du' whole morning Exeter was crowded by groups yeomen and others, attracted by the great Reform ,neeting. Bands of music, accompanied by detach ments of freeholders from various parts of the , ounty, paraded the streets, carrying divers insignia: of triumph, banners, &c., the whole of which were decorated with the Ebringtonian laurel. Matters or !Ins kind served to while away the time till the hour of the meeting drew near, when the extensive area of the Castle-yard began gradually to fill. Shortly before twelve o'clock, " Lord Clifford's men," from the neighbourhood of Chudleigh, arrived with their band and banners, &c. Soon after twelve, The HIGH SHERIFF (T. M. Woollcomhe, Esq ) celled on the requisitionists to proceed with the bu siness of the day. The Hon. NEWTON FELLOWS ROW stood for ward, and was received with three regular Devon :hire cheers—ear-splitters. He said, his Majesty had tho,ight fit to recall his Ministers, and by that act given the country assurance that the Reform Bill would soon pass into a law.—(Reiterated cheers.) It would grow up and be a giant guardian of their iberty, even to the latest posterity.—(Craters.) The Hon. Gentleman then read an Address to his Nlajestv. C. P. HAMLYN, Esq. seconded the address. He and his hon. Friend, who had just sat down, were Reformers when it was considered criminal even to mention the name of Reform in Devon, They had followed the banner of Reform when it was trading in the dust—they loved and cherished it then, and they were not going to desert it now.—(Cheers.) He then adverted to the conservatives. He would leave them not to the stings of their own conscience —for that was a forlorn hope indeed—but to the comfortable reflection that all their specious cobweb reasoning had been rent over and over again as fast as they had woven it—and industrious indeed had they been in this respect—that they had been most gloriously defeated by the people—(Reiterated cheers)—and with the still more consoling reflection that there was an end to all jobs, sinecures, patro nage, and that . , ere long, perjury and corruption would not be articles worth bringing to market. — (Cheers.) He did not anticirte tltat Reform would yield them all its b: fits at once—C' We do not expect it" i—but with extended education for the people, all its anticipated blessings would in their own season arrive.—(Cheers.) The HIGH SHERIFF now put the address, which was carried by acclamation. JASPER PARROTT, Esq. proposed a petition to the House of Commons, which was put and carried by acclamation. STANLEY CAREY, Esq. proposed the following resolution : " That this meeting offer his Majesty's Ministers its most cordial thanks, for their introduction and persevering support of the Reform Bill, and tender them its strongest assurance of coop-ration." R. WATSON, Esq. of Dayley, seconded the motion. S. RUNDLE, Esq. of Tavistock, said, as his head was not very well thatched, he begged to be allowed to keep on his hat.—(A laugh.) He would read the resolution he had to propose, because he felt . - that that alone would secure him a favourable re ception. It was, " That the warmest thanks of this meeting be given to Lord Viscount Ebrington and Lord John Rus-ell, for their long, consistent, invariable, and powerful advocacy of the great cause of Reform."—(Cheers.) He would now add something that was not quite so palatable to them. He had heard the conservatives attacked. He was a conservative—(A laugh)—only the body that used that word differed slightly' from him in their appli cation of it. They wished to keep what did not belong to them—(A laugh)—he wished to keep his own ; and also to get back what had been stolen from him.—(Cheers.) He thought the magnificent meeting at Birmingham, preceded by a solemn prayer, one of the most sublime events on record. These were the things that made the Noble Duke shrink from the task he had undertaken. Capt. TRUSCOTT, R.N. seconded the motion. The resolution %vas carried with three cheers. JOHN COLLIER, Esq., of Plymouth, proposed that the address to the Crown be signed on behalf of the meeting, and presented by the Lord-lieutenant of the county. The Hon. Gentleman then entered into some particulars of the great Plymouth Reform meeting, at which 30,000 persons were assembled to bear testimony to the untruth of a reaction. J. DAVEY, Esq. of Creditor), seconded the motion. Colonel PELL moved, and S. WREFORD, Esq. seconded a motion requesting the Sheriffs to sign the petition to the Crown. On the motion of W. WREFORD, Esq., thanks were unanimously voted to the High Sheriff, and the meeting shortly afterwards broke up. The number of persons present was about 7,000 : a very large number for a county meeting in Devon, as the great extent of the county necessarily deters a vast number of the freeholders from attending. NOTTINGHAM COUNTY MEETING. On Friday last this meeting took place, pursuant to advertisement, at Mansfield. From 2,500 to 3,000 persons were assembled, a number of flags displayed, bearing mottoes indicative of the people's wishes, and bands of music paraded the streets. — The High Sheriff (H. Machin, E•q.) was called to the Chair, and commenced the proceedings of the day by requesting the Under Sheriff to read the re quisition, which was signed by upwards of 100 names; atter which the Chairman requested a pa tient hearing for every one who might deliver his sentiments, and read letters from the county Mem bers, apologising for their non-attendance. G. H. VERNON, Esq., then moved the first reso lution. The main object for which they had assem bled had, he was happy to say, been attained; and it must be a source of gratification to every one present to witness the triumph of the cause they had so much at heart. The battle had been fought, the people were victorious, and the Reform Bill must be carried. lie would now call their attention to the conduct of the Government to whom the reso lution he held in his hand proposed a vote of thanks. It was rare to see such examples in S!atesmen; Earl Grey had proved himself indifferent to place when his character and independence were at stake, and he never saw a stronger disinclination in any man to do any thing than in Lord Althorp to re sume office. One grand and noble feature in Earl Grey and his colleagues was, their determining to . g ive their undeviating support to any Government that undertook to carry into effect unmutilated and unimpaired the great principles of the Bill. — (Cheers.) Their opponents were willing to come into place with the Reform Bill, which they had declared was not wanted ; but could you have trusted them ?—(" No, no !") Could they have turned out a skilful work who had riot served an apprenticeship to the manufacture ? No ; it would have been a despicable piece of work. Sir R. SUTTON seconded the resolution. G. S. FOLJAMBE, Esq. moved the second reso lution, expressive of the indignation and contempt of the meeting to the factious opposition the mea sure had received. WM. BENNETT MARTIN, Esq. said it was through rotten boroughs that they now laboured under 800 nillins of debt. He believed the King had ever been an honest Reformer, but great influence had been used to warp his mind. Colonel 'WILDMAN—Friends and men of Notting hamshire, I mac forward 11195; cordially to join In , Jie universal acclamation of triumph for the victor\ .ve have achieved. What would have been 6, consequences if Eal Grey had been entrapped 1) the wiles of the Anti-Reformers to proceed with tht !till after Lord Lyndhurst's motion ? A more paltry and dkaraceful trick is not on record in the annul, party manoeuvring. Among the French there a society whose moto is—" Aide toi, le Ceil t'aidera" —" Be quick to aid yonr , elves, and Heaven wil ' , sip your cauFe." Under this motto we hay , icted, and secured the Bill by the voice of OR :;ation. The gallant Colonel moved the third reso lution, expresing their determination to use every constitutional means to uhimately secure the Bili, and calling upon the House of Commons so to do. W. P. CLAY seconded the resolution. JonN COKE, E-q., moved the fourth. THOMAS WAKEFIELD, Esq., declared that, had the Dike of Weilingt-n token the Reform Bill in hand, he would only have made " cut up work (f it." The other resolutions were moved and seconded by R. Hopper, L.A., and W. P. Clay, Esq. ; and a congratulatory address voted to Earl Grey, and ordered to be presented by the county Members. Three cheers were given for the Earl, and the thanks of the meeting voted to the Sheriff, when the meeting separated. A TRIO.-7VIR. IRVING, MR. OWEN, AND Miss MACA ULEV. —The gentleman of the " unknown t:A,gues" has concluded an arranwernent with Mr. Owing for the use of the Institution in Gray's Inn-lane, at, it is said, seven guineas per week. Mr. Invisia is to have rinession of the premises in the morning, and Mr. OWEN in the evening. O❑ Sunday week, as early as six o'clock, Mr. IRVING was in attendance, and after enrolling several members, he gave a lecture. Miss 11inc.% ULM', who pos sesses undoubted dramatic talent, has become a convert to Mr. OWEN'S cooperative system, and holds forth to the edification of the moral philanthropists. Extract of a letter from Frankfort, May 18.— " Alas! what will now be the fate of poor England ? I ge t my English paper daily, and it seems as necessary to roe as my dinner. This is Thursday, and we have already news down to Saturday night. The fate of the Reform Bill is looked fortt•ard to with as much interest in Ger many as any where, for its decision will naturally influ ence the whole Continent—l may say the whole civiliz.d world. lam anxious now for to•morrow's paper, to see if WELLINGTON can form a cabinet : may England be pre served from a revolution ! we are living in awful times!" A novel and highly enterprising speculation has been entered into by a Company of this city. A lease, of nineteen years' duration, of Ailsa Craig, has been pro cured from the proprietor, Lord CASSIUS, by this CUM. pany, for the purpose of shooting and fishing.._ A range or houses, 120 feet in length is about to be erected below the old Castle, which is 400 feet above the level of the sea; and these buildings are for purposes connected with the business of the Company The Orion yacht, well known in the annals of the Northern Yacht Club races, has been purchased, and is to be employed in the deep sea fishing of the Company. Mr. GRANT and twelve masons have gone to erect the buildings, which are to be com posed of stones quarried from the rock. By this specula tion the fish and fowl markets of Glasgow and Liverpool will he supplied with fish of every description, and among other fowls, with the Solon Goose, by the steamers daily passing.— Glasgow Chronicle. The Police, it is said, are about to be ex tended to Bromley, Bow, Stratford, and other parts adja cent. There will be only nne Inspector at each station house, who is to reside near or on the spot, and who will be relieved by a sergeant, as acting-inspector. THE REFORM BILL.—It is said that as soon as the Reform Bill shall have received the Royal Assent, the victory achieved by the people is to he celebrated on the same day in every county throughout England, Scot land, and Ireland. The festival will comprise a general feast, processions, illuminations, &c. When the Bill shall be announced for the third reading, Committees will be formed in London, and in different provincial towns, to arrange the details of a grand national jubilee.—Chester Chronicle. This town was last week visited by extraor dinary swarms of large black flies, similar to those which may in the summer be seen o❑ putrescent substances in the meadows. On the Marine Parade, great injury was done to the fronts of several newly-painted houses, by the flies settling and sticking by thousands on the work. The heavy hail storm of yesterday se'nnight had the salutary effect of dispersing these noxious visitors. On the appear ance of the flies the gossips prophesied sickness ; but not withstanding, the town remains healthy.—Brighton Her. ST. AIARYLEBONE.—The Tory interest, or anti-Reform party, has just met with the most signal de feat in the wealthy parish of Marylebone, and which ex hibits an additional proof, were it wanting, of the firm de termination of all ranks of society to support the cause of Reform, whether national or local. The result of the severe contest for the election of vestrymen and auditors, just ended, (Saturday), under the New Vestries Act, which, in principle, is the same as the Reform Bill, giving every householder the right of franchise, is evidence of the fallen greatness of the once-powerful Tory interest in the vestry of the parish, which, only two years ago, domineered over this mighty parish, and, in spite of the protest of a great part of its 120,000 inhabitants, wrung an enormous revenue of nearly 200,0001. p. •r annum. The reformers have at length prevailed, and returned 45 men of their choice to represent them in vestry, by one of the most triumphant majorities that the history of elections pre sents, and who are pledged to the reform of every abuse in the expenditure of their immense funds. At the final close of the poll the numbers were— For the candidates of the reform interest 2,851! !! For the old vestry or Tory interest -15!! ! Split votes 325 Thus leaving a clear majority of upwards of 2,000 ! ! ! householders, who came from their houses and personally voted for the avowed friends and advocates of Reform. Among the gentlemen returned is Mr. HUMS, Member for Middlesex. THE MATRICIDE AT PUTNEY.-SOME time since, it will be recollected, one of the two daughters of Mr. CLARKE, residing at Putney, was tried for admi nistering poison to her mother, which caused her death. After trial, however, the Judge made some strong observa tions upon the conduct of the husband of the woman, and implied that he ought to have taken the place of his daugh ter, who was acquitted. After the girl's liberation, so great was the feeling against the family, that Mr. CLARKE placed her in a convent in France, under a fictitious name, and secluded himself and remaining daughter at his cot tage, in Putney. He shortly after became ill, and was at tended by several medical gentlemen till recently, when he died. It was expected that he would have left some statement behind him, explaining the real facts of the hor rible affair, but such was not the case. His mind appeared greatly disturbed; and notwithstanding very strong mech• cine was administered to him to promote sleep, he scarcely obta'ne i an hour's repose. On one of the gentlemen visiting him n the morning, and finding that his medicine bad failed to allay the extreme restlessness of his patient, he took t he liberty o f o b serv i ng th a t hi s (Mr. CLARKE'S) conscience would never let him sleep. Mr. CLARKE de sired him to leave the house, and nit to come again. He expired shortly after. His age was about 50. The re maining daughter has taken up her residence with some relations at Brixton.

Within the last fort night alone have appeared three books, which are com manding att en ti on i n a v e ry unusual degree. We should perhaps g i ve t h e fi rst place to Mr. Invista's (Geoffrey former seri es a n d r e pl e te with similar beauties ; next comes the piquant new story of Lord MULORAVE, called " The Contrast," which is no doubt already in every body's h an d ; an d t h e t hi r d i s a no v e l from the pen of Mr. LISTER, th e we ll•k nown a uthor of , 6 G r anby," entitled "Arlingto n ," w hi c h, i n d epen d en tly of its superior attractions as a work o f fi ct i on, must b e cons idered a most pleasant and sarcastic b oo k on soc i ety , ev i nc ing a deep knowledge of •• ni my-coloured life," unusual sagacity in unfolding the aims aid purposes of men, and not a little of that ever wel -1 come mu, called the dramatic. The debates in Parliament during the pas• week, particularly in the House of Lords on , Thursday and Friday last, contain materials fot one of the most interesting pages in the history of this country. In an especial manner, the speech of the Duke of NS ellington calls for par ticular attention ; for although assuming hi:- statement to be all true, it does not amount to an acknowledgement that he consented to aid in the formation of a Ministry to pass the whole Reform Bill as it stands, yet it contains an une quivocal admission that he was willing to assist in passing a large measure of Reform (a very vague phrase certainly) ; and this, we maintain, involves as completeu dereliction of his no-Re form principles as if he had consented to the whole Bill—it imports a practical abandonment of his principles, and necessarily infers all that is characteristic of personal and political apostasy. But let us take his own words. Having been called on by Lord Lyndhurst to ascertain if there were any means for forming a Ministry " on the principle of carrying an extensive Reform in the representation of the people"—and having found that a number of his friends were not unwilling to form an administration founded on such a principle, and with the positive view of resist ance to the advice given by Earl Grey to create Peers, his advice, he says, " was not to re-ap point his late Ministry, nor was it to appoint myself." " I advised him to seek the assistance ' of other persons to fill the high situations in the state—expressing myself willing to give his Ma jesty all assistance, whether in office or out of office, to enable his Majesty to form an adminis tration to resist the advice which had been given to him ; and I stated Ow I was ready to serve his Majesty in any or in no capacity, so as best to assist him in carrying oti a government to re sist the advice which had been git , en him by his • late Ministers ;" which was, " to create a suffi cient number of Peers to enable them to carry their measure through the House—to force it through the House." Let us next advert to some other statements essential to the case. His Grace informs us that his Majesty " insisted that some extensive measure of reform should be carried;" and that he himself " always was of opinion, and is of opinion, that this measure of Reform is un necessary, and will prove most injurious to the country ;" and yet, because forsooth the King was left alone"—because a creation of Peers would (in his fancy) lead to the immediate overthrow of one branch of the Legislature, and involve the destruction of the Constitution by the destruction of the independence of the House of Lords, his Grace was willing to take any office or no office, in order to prevent a creation of Peers for carrying it through that House ! Here, then, we have in the most authentic form the elements of a question in political ethics which is well deserving of serious considera:on. The Duke of Wellington avows his undimi nished abhorrence of Reform as ruinous to the country ; nevertheless, he consented to lend him self to such a measure, in order to resist the other, and, in his opinion, the greater evil. Now we put it fairly to any man whether this fur nishes any apology for the Duke. By his own hypothesis, Reform—a large measure or a small measure—will ruin the country and subvert the Constitution, and this is just the same result which he anticipates from the creation ; so that, supposing his asser tions on the latter topic to be well founded, as they are the very reverse, he places himself in this dilemma, that whether the Reform Bill pass, or the Peers be created, the same ruinous conse quences will follow ; for with all his perspicacity he has not shown what difference there is be twixt that ruin of the Constitution which is to be the effect of Reform, and that which will flow from a creation. According to his Grace, ruin to the Constitution is to be the result of both or of either—so that, by consenting to Reform in any measure or degree, he consents to that ruin just as effectually as if he consented to the creation too. This pretext is therefore a great deal too shallow and sophistical to furnish any defence against the charge of inconsistency, if apostasy be too harsh a term ; and the only way in which his Grace could be acquitted from the imputation of irreconcilable inconsistency of principle and conduct, would have been to say, that being conscientiously of opinion that Reform in the representation of the Commons would subvert the Constitution, he could riot participate in any measures by which, directly or indirectly, such a Reform might be effected. To accede to ably such scheme in order to defeat another and collateral and imaginary evil, does not mend the matter one whit—for by hypothesis both measures tend to the same result, and terminate in the same catastrophies. But a subsidiary and most romantic nostrum is superadded to this fine-spun vindication. His loyalty to Majesty was so devoted and chivalrous, that if he had not agreed to sacrifice all his own convictions as to right and wrong, if he had said " I cannot assist you in this affair," he would have been ashamed to show his face on the street. This trumpery is applauded to the echo by divers noble Lords as exceedingly heroical.— But to us, and we are sure to the great bulk of the nation, it appears as a hollow humbug, cal culated to serve as a dirty veil thrown over the real feelings which have laid all the principles of our high Tories prostrate in the dust. This abject and avowed Toryism, in all its ancient and unrectified grossness, is utterly repugnant to the principless of British honour and British liberty. It is the ruling passion in the court of the Czar, or the Grand Turk, or at Vienna, and the court of Don Miguel ; but it is incompatible with the genius of public and personal morality, and it is here now blasted for ever. We do not thus scrutinize the Duke of Wel lington's explanation without feelings of a pain ful kind ; for we cannot banish from our memory and heart the sentiments which we cherished to wards him up to the hour when, on a similar oc casion, he adopted the doctrine of expediency ng as thereabtil the s i srwuhliisomethingch Prprinciple unconsciously h i o s fls military b sc u rpolicy.esh is Perhaps education percep tionsandh of sound moral and political truth, which leads him to consider obedience to kings, and generals, and prime ministers, as the first duty and the most heroical of virtues ; and we wit , tingly advert to this as a palliation of his error : but a mere unsatWactery and inconclusive ex d. the question to ana ly se a ll planation than that whi c h he h a s n ow g i ven , wellbe ou im t ofag in ean l n t o i t s quite the ravings of Lord Mansfield, Lord Car,arvon, ! and the rest of the set ; but there is one per vading error running through the whole of them, which cannot fail to strike every discerning reader. They are .perpetually talking of the independence of the House of Lords—of that independence being invaded, were any addition !o be made to the Peerage—and of the whole British Constitution being subverted were such a creation to take place. Now, this is all sheer nonsense. The House of Peers is not an inde pendent branch of the legislature. It is not a self-created and self-existent bor - 31, deriving its powers and priNileges from DHile ri L4 ,l:t, or any other fantastical origin. It is an emanation of the Royal prerogative, from whence alone it de rives its jurisdiction and its vitality ; and if it were to assume a power of controlling that prero rogative, so as to prevent the constitutional ex ercise of it at present and in future, as it has been exercised in times past, it would then be in the strictest sense an usurping oligarchy ; and such a doctrine as we now hear preached about the independence of the House of Lords is nei ther more nor less than an assertion that the whole power of the state is vested in the House of Lords. It is just as constitutional for the King to add to the Peerage when it mounts the high horse and puts on airs of absolute independence, as it is for him to dissolve the House of Commons when its acts are of such a nature as completely to obstruct the movements of the whole political machinery of our govern ment ; and though any large addition to the Peerage to carry a ParliPmentary measure is to be deprecated, yet if no other constitutional means exist for putting an end to existing collision betwixt the te..o Houses of Parliament on a Bill which is calculated to restrain the usurpations of the Peerage, and to confirm the just rights of the people, there cannot be a doubt that such an addition as may he requkle for this purpose is equally constitutional and wise.
