We must not omit to mention the Bath for Clot Air or Va pour made by Mr. Rippon, of Castle -street Fast ; it goes into an extremely small compass, is equally efficient, and much cheaper than any of the others we have seen." The Bath alluded to by the Editor of the "Medical Ga zette " HAS BEEN MUCH IMPROVED, and is strongly recommended for the cure of Cholera, Colds, Rheumatism, Ike. It is so extremely portable and simple, that it may be applied in one minute by the most inexpe rienced person, without removing the patient or clothes from the bed, at the expense of threepence. Price of the Machine, with Spirit Lamp, &c., 10s. : Portable Frame for Bed, 10a. Packed for the country, 2s. 6d. extra. Letters (post paid) inclosing a remittance, immediately attended to.

JCOCKS and SONS, the Prop r i e t ors o f • the celebrated READING SAUCE, beg most respectfully to caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against the daily frauds and impositions practised by many London and Country Oilmen, who are offering for sale their own spurious compositions as Reading Sauce. None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed With the impression, "J. Cocks, Reading." And also, these words, on orange-coloured labels, " Reading Sauce, for Fish, enriching Gravies, &c., prepared and sold, whole sale and retail, by J. Cocks, Reading." It is presumed that no Sauce ever met with such gene• ral approbation and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended by most families in the kingdom, and re tailed in London by 250 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders ; also by one or more in every City, Market -town, and Watering-place in the kingdom; most of whom sell J. COCKS and SONS' GENUINE and SUPERIOR ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES, Made with prime Gorgona Fish, rich as possible. The above Sauces are particularly recommended to Sea faring Gentlemen, as they are warranted to retain their superior qualitiesltwenty years in any climate. THE IMPETUOSITY of PASSION, and the coincidence of general gaiety must involve a considerable portion of the community in the sufferance of those disorders which are destined to be the punishment of illicit indulgence. And since the time of Monkish superstition, no blame has been imputed to medical Practi tioners for the exertions of their skill in the removal of these complaints. As medical ability cannot therefore be more usefully or more respectably employed, it is only necessary to inquire where it can be most decisively depended upon, certainly not among those who rush without education into the practice of Esculapian slaughter ; but among those who, after regular initiation, confine their exertions to one point , and concentrate their skill in the study and treatment o One Brand. f Dr. Courtenay, from the University of Edinburgh, is entitled by his qualification to make this selection, and after unprecedented success for upwards ofThirty-five Years, be may now without presumption, offer restoration in eases, where the most eminent Practitioners have failed. An Insidious Disorder may be contracted in an unguarded moment of intoxication. By this plan of cure, pain is prevented, the possibility of danger precluded, and the constitution is left, not merely unimpaired, bet absolutely improved by the process. The sufferings of this complaint are however titling compared with the consequences of that destruCtive prac tice for which Onan suffered death. To those IWhose feelings are susceptible of the misery which this pernicious habit has occasioned, it may be some consolation to know, that, by proper perseverance, the most deplorable debility may be removed. When estates are dependant on the progeny of married people, the removal of those impedi- ' ments is to many the restoration of life's best enjoyment, nor is it unreasonable to expect success from the connection of that peculiar state of the constitution, by which con ; ception is prevented, or the embryotic prisoner constantly destroyed. It is the result of Dr. Courtenay's experieln, to offer a safe and certain removal of these impediments, and by correcting the morbid state of the uterine functions the female soon becomes in that state " which Ladies wish to be who love their Lords." Dr. Courtenay may be con sulted personally, or by letter, with the greatest secrecy and honour, at his house, No. 21, Leicester-square. Patients in the country describing the particulars of their complaints, age, mode of living, &c. &c., inclosing a remittance for advice and Medicines will have the same given or sent to any psrt of the world.—Letters are ex petted to he post-paid. Dr. Csurtenay has removed from No. 6, Robert-street, Adelphi, to No. 21, Leicester-square, where he continues o practice, and is consulted as heretofore. Dr. Courtenay has no connection whatever with the young man now practising at his late residence, and he thinks it is due to those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have hitherto so liberally honoured him with their confidence, to make this public declaration in consequence of that individual presum ing to state verbally and in writing to several of Dr. Cour tenay's patients, that he had retired altogether from practice, ond assigned it to him, ...pr. C. has done no such thing. (No. 12,310.) ~` TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, AT A REDUCED VALUATION, 1 11 1 HE STOCK in TRADE, and GOOD A.

AMERICAN CLIMATE.—Some idea of the variations in the Northern State may be formed from the circumstance of the thermometer standing at 80 degrees above zero in the street, in Albany, on the 19th of January. The ice in the Hudson had been broken up, and was drift ing in huge masses, and with dangerous rapidity. A great many accidents had occurred. A UD ÜBO distinguished ornithologist is prosecuting his tour of observation and discovery through the Floridas. In a letter to one of his Philadelphia friends he says, " although it freezes during the night, the alli gators and butterflies are frequently seen during the day. The woods are all green, and yet it freezes; a pheno menon in nature of which I lied no previous knowledge." Judging from the general character of the dramas now performing in the metropolis, it would appear as if old Nic had completely got possession of the stage, • l_ I t 1' 7.

THE DRAMA-PUBLIC MEETING. A very numerous meeting of the friends, patrons, and professors of the drama, and dramatic acting, ' was held yesterday, at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to consider the propriety of pe titioning Parliament to repeal all such Acts as pre vent the free performance of the drama at the small theatres. On the motion of Mr. SWIFT, EDWARD LYTTON BULWER, Esq., M.P., was unanimously requested to take the chair. Mr. LITTON BULWER, on taking the chair, said that the object of the meeting was to take into con sideration the final arrangements for presenting a petition to Parliament for the repeal of all Acts tend ing to restrain the free performance of the drama. Feeling, as he did, a deep interest in the success of their proceedings, it gave him great pleasure to see so numerous and respectable a meeting. The ques tion for consideration is not one of yesterday ; it was one which the public had long had before them, and in which it took a deep interest ; it was a question which depended for success on their proceedings that day. This age was particularly characterised by monopolies. There were monopolies in corn, monopolies in trade, monopolies in the elective fran chise, monopolies in knowledge, and, what was still more extraordinary, a monopoly in the drama. It was extraordinary, indeed, that the mighty genius of Shakspeare, who had gathered his b eau ti es f rom a ll ages, and all nations, should be monopolized by the two patent theatres. It might be considered a great hardship by monopolists to have their monopolies taken out of their hands; but when a monopoly was not only doing an injury to the public, but to the monopolists themselves, he thought some deference ought to be paid to public opinion. The monopoly of the drama differed from all others in some im portant respects. In all others the monopolists have', some advantage, with the exception of drama mono poly alone. He was surprised that the managers should wish to continue to keep up the monopolies, when he believed that at the end of every year, in stead of a yearly profit, there was a yearly deficit, and suffered the legitimate drama, for the perform ance of which they had their monopoly, to give way to the Lions of Mysore, and other such entertain ments. Whilst the major theatres thus sunk the legitimate drama, were the proprietors of the minor theatres to have a clog put on their exertions—to have such a wide field shut out from them, except at the hazard of litigation and expense ? What, he would ask, could be the policy of the two great houses in pursuing a system which was ruinous to themselves ? Their only policy seemed to be ex pense. He had looked at a memorandum presented by the managers of the two patent theatres to the Lord Chamberlain, requesting the protection of their rights against the infringement of the minor theatres. A statement so vague, so inconclusive, and so unsatisfactory, he had never read. They rested their claims upon two grounds :—the first was, that they had expended already a million of money on the monopoly. Was it not sufficient that one million of money should be expended ? They then spoke of the necessity of upholding the dignity of the national drama. Was, he would ask, the dignity of the national drama upheld by introduing on the stage the whole of Mr. Martyn's menagerie ? They seemed to think that the national drama, like the national coat of arms, ought to be supported by brutes. They should not resort to such projects for success; they should give up their monopoly, and place themselves on a fair and equal level. They might rely for success on the convenience of their situation, on the old recollections attached to them. Who would desert those scenes where ap peared a Garrick, a Siddons, and a Kemble—scenes which they had consecrate d? They might rely on their splendour of display, and their command of capital, instead of trusting to scenic pomp and paste board cavalcade. It was their duty to encourage the best actors and authors, and to hold out prizes for their ambition. He had heard it stated that the present age was indifferent to the drama. The institution of the Garrick Club was a sufficient refutation of this undeserved censure. The cant of indifference had been raised, but the drama had always advanced in proportion as a people became more civilized, and he would ask where they less civilized now than when Queen Elizabeth laughed at the wit of the fat Knight, or when Charles the Second bestowed the pipe of good Canary as an encouragement on the drama ? If the drama triumphed in those times, in spite of all the obstacles raised against it, surely it ought to triumph now in the midst of advantages, and when all obstacles were removed. Though those times gave Congreve to comedy and Shakspeare to the world, yet, if the restraints on the stage were removed, he had no doubt but some genius would arise in the present age who would be an ornament and an honour to the country. Do but reform the stage, and ,literature will reform itself. He felt the most sincere thanks for the kind attention the meeting had given him, and he hoped they would bestow the like attention on any gentleman who should address them. He hoped that, if they made any distinction, they would pay more attention to those who might come there to oppoie them. They should recollect that nothing tended more to forward a just cause than free discussion. The petition they were about to present that day, when presented to Par liament, he would, for his part, be at his place ready and happy to support it. His friend, Colonel de Lacy Evans, who was by his side, and who was always ready to support any measure of Reform which was for the public good, would move the first resolution. He hoped the time would return when the Green-room would be the scene of wit, and the boards would be frequented by those anxious to enjoy the pleasures of the drama; and future, poets, in recollecting their effort that day for the cause of literature and the drama, would record their gratitude to posterity.—(Loud cheers.) Colonel EVANS, M.P., said it would be unneces sary for him to take up the time of the meeting, after the excellent speech they had just heard; he would, therefore, merely propose the resolution. The resolution would speak for itself, and would render any preface unnecessary. The resolution was to the effect, " that any restrictions on the performance of the drama, except what regarded morality, were opposed to the spirit of the age, and injurious to arts, sciences, and literature." The resolution was seconded by Mr. HARRIsON, and carried unanimously. Mr. SWIFT rose to move the next resolution, and said it was a great honour to him to be called on to follow such leaders. He would make a feW obser vations respecting the question in a legal point of view. It was an admitted principle that, where it was impossible to execute the law, the law ought to be changed ; and he would ask could airy thing be more absurd or impossible than the present law re lating to the drama? It had been framed for times that no longer existed, when London was a village compared to its present state, and two theatres were quite enough for its playgoers. But now, with a population of a million and a half, it required nothing more. Circumstances had changed, and the law ought to be changed to suit them. They could not be compressed to the meaning and intention of the law, and the law ought, therefore, to be enlarge them. He would not take up the time of the m ing long, as be felt that to speak after the able speech they had just heard, would be " to gild re fined gold --to paint the lily." The morality of the times depended, in a great mature, on the stage. :. ,~f: • • .45 .;. q.; "Z if 'lO He remembered, in some lines addressed :4:6 arcick '1 awl following :-- ' • llPArsio a n n v i s o t s depends sure ti o ): , 7u ; Mr. Swift spoke:a(great:length, and, in conclusion, moved— " That it would be for the interest of the drama that all Acts relating to it sh ould lie repealed." The resolution was seconded by Mr. MaeirENztE, and carried unanimously. Mr. WOOLER said that the Committee had placed in his hands a resolution, which he begged leave to propose to the meeting. The resolution was that a petition should be presented to the House of Com mons for the repeal of the laws respecting the drama. This was not a question of faction or party; it was the common interest of all connected with the drama, and anxious to forward its interests. He would ask if the whole British empire were to be deprived of an innocent and useful amusement by a patent obtained from one man t Those patents had been granted to certain favourites, for certain pur poses, and, like all other patents, ought to expire n otthe m g a r g o i ti e n ti d a s t . e s I 20 t was a miles from the first p ossessor. A patent in perpetuity' had never been h ear d o f b e f ore, nor could it be de fendedridfricou- luso on aly any that a m reasonablel London could grant patents for the performanc e of the drama, and that this power should be denied to the Magistrates in and near London.. Mr. SEARLE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimusly. A Mr. Eomosns said that in Amerka the free exercise of the drama was allowed. It was danger ous to monarchies to be obliged to refer to republics for free institutions.—(Cheers.) Mr. MACARTIIY did not present himself before the meeting as a member of the theatrical profes sion ; on the contrary, he understood that he had no connection with the major or the minor theatres; and with respect to the managers of both he could say that be neither courted their favour nor feared their hate. In the few observations he was about to make he would confine himself to the rights of the people. It had been asserted that the subject of dramatic amusement was not of sufficient im portance to excite the attention of the citizens of London. When he beheld the present assembly, so numerous and respectable, he flung back with indig nation the unfounded insinuation. He was happy to find that the enemies of the drama were to be found amongst those only who oppose every step to improvement; but they could not check the feel ings of improvement now abroad. The present pe riod, therefore, was the worst that could be chosen to revive those obsolete and oppressive laws re specting the drama. The managers of the minor theatres were threatened with a fate similar to Chap man, who was now in prison at the prosecution of the managers of Drury-lane and Covent-garden, and which fate could only be avoided by the united energies of the people. He hoped that the proceed ings of that day would prove that there was an im pulse in the hearts of Englishmen which caused them to swell with hatred to every species of op pression. It had been asserted on the Continent that we have not a true taste for the drama, which is attributed to our commercial pursuits; and it is added that when trade flourishes the arts decay. We can exhibit, in answer, our galaxy of genius, from Newton to Davy, from Shakspeare to Byron. A German writer has named Homer, Milton, and Shakspeare, as the greatest epic poets; and shall it be said that the art which obtained such illustrious fame should be restricted by the revival of obsolete laws ? The spirit of the age forbids such an un worthy act, and the meeting of this day will decide the triumph of the petition to be presented to the House of Commons for the abolition of those laws. The sentiment of the metropolis can be best ascer tained by the number of signatures to the petition. The character of a theatre depends on the character of its manager, as is evident from the state of the Surrey theatre under Mr. Elliston. The change in that theatre was entirely owing to the superior ta lent of the man, who, with all the attributes of a venius, had many of the failings too often attached to it; Lot _ " Hard is his fate on whom the public gaze— 'Tis fixed for ever to detract or raise;p Repose denies her requiem to his name, And folly loves the martyrdom of fame." One of our greatest poets has said that " the greatest study of mankind is man," and where can man be better studied than on the stage ? Mr. Macarthy spoke at great length, and concluded with moving " That the legitimate drama ought to be fostered, and all Acts restraining it repealed." Mr. RAYNER seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. S. C. HALL found himself unexpectedly called upon to move the next resolution, to the effect that the minor theatres in this metropolis were of great public importance, as the vehicles of amusement and instruction, and that every one resi dent therein was deeply interested in their prospe rity and success. Although, at the moment he rose to address them, it was his intention to have con fined himself to a mere reading of the resolution, for it was one respecting which he did not apprehend there could be a single dissentient voice, yet having risen, he would just so far trespass upon their atten tion, as to observe that he did not believe there was an impartial man in England who did not feel in dignant at the prosecutions to which the in nor theatres had been exposed—minor, be called them, in compliance with custom, for they were only minor in the sense of being smaller than the patent theatres. The great theatres complained that their lesser brethren had been guilty of the offence of trenching upon the provence of the patentees; but the simple answer to that was, that the persons bringing the accusation were themselves the originators of the grievance.—(Hear.) He regretted to find himself thus occupying so much of their time—(Hear)---but he could not sit down without adverting to one cir cumstance, which he thought of rather a remarkable character. The novel lately published, written by the gentleman near him, " Eugene Aram," would have been produced as a tragedy had the stage been in a condition in which genius of a higher order could and its proper place. He had but one word at parting to say—he hoped they would not imitate the example of the Garrick Club, by omitting to do honour to the name of Shakspeare ; he hoped they would not part without a cheer in honour of the immortal bard.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN had one observation to make. Mr. George Lamb had undertaken to conduct i►► Parliament an Act for the relief of the drama, but on his accepting office he had given over the con ' ducting of the Act to Lord Mahon. He (the Chairman) bad asked Lord Mahon when he would introduce the Act, and he was told that it would be introduced after the Reform Bill should be carried. He thought if the petition was included in that Act. it would a great advantage. The proposition was referred to the Committee. Many other gentlemen spoke —among others, Mr. Sloman, Mr. Dowton, Mr. Moncrieff, and Mr. Davidge; and, after a vote of thanks to the Chair man, the meeting separated at about a quarter to five o'clock. It was agreed that the petition should remain for signatures at the City of London Tavern until Wed nesday next. On Thursday last an inquest was held at Friskney, before Mr. MasTitr, on the body of Jon STEER, aged three years, who was accidentally drowned in a ditch near the house in the absence of his mother, who bad gone to call the father to dinner.

The Court having met, pursuant to adjournment on Friday, the 3d day of February, 1832, proceeded further to deliberate on the evidence produced on the trial of Captain Warrington. OPINION AND SENTENCE. The Court having maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence which has been adduced in support of the charges which have been preferred against Captain William Henry War rington, of the 3d regiment of Dragoon Guards (the prisoner before the Court), as well as what the said prisoner has offered in his defence, came to the fol lowing decision:— With respect to the first charge—namely, " For that he, Captain Warrington, being on the night of Sunday, the 30th of October, 1831, in th e personal command of a troop of the 3d regiment of Dragoon Guards, in the city of Bristol, a a time when that city was the scene of most outrageous and alarming riots, insomuch that the said troop had been repeatedly called out by order of the Magis trates to quell the rioters, and at a time when several public and other buildings in the city had been fired by the rioters,—some whereof were al ready consumed, and others were still in flames.— and at a time when, by reason of the circumstances aforesaid, it was peculiarly necessary that the said troop, being then the only military force in Bristol,' should act in the most prompt and effectual manner for the protection of the city, and that he, Captain Warrington, as the commander of the same, should use every exertion for that purpose, subject to the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, who than held the chief military command in the city, and when it therefore behoved the said Captain War rington to forward instantly and without delay to the said Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton every requisition that might be made, or intelligence that might be conveyed to him, Captain Warrington, or to the quarters of the said troop, calling for the services of the said troop in the city, or showing the same to be necessary; nevertheless, he Captain Warrington, being between eleven and twelve o'clock on the said Sunday night applied to, at the said quar ters, where he was then in command, by Mr. Thomas Kington, a merchant in Bristol, and in formed by him, (as the fact was), that the rioters were about to fire the Custom-house of Bristol, and that the presence arid services of the troop were urgently and immediately required in Queen-square, where the Custom-house then stood, in order to save that building, or to that effect, did not only refuse to order out the said troop or any part thereof, or to take any step for the purpose so stated, but used no means of carrying the information so received by him, or the purport thereof, to the said Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, or of obtaining from the said Lieutenant- Colonel Brereton any orders applicable to the occa sion; the said Captain Warrington thereby (as far as in him lay) leaving the said Custom-house at the mercy of the rioters, by whom, in fact, the same was shortly afterwards set on fire and totally destroyed." That he is Guilty thereof. With respect to the second charge --namely, " For that afterwards, that is, on Monday morn ing, the 31st October, 1831, he, Captain Warring ton, being (as before) in the personal command of the said troop of the 3d Dragoon Guards, then the only military force in Bristol, and when the riots were raging in that city with increased and destructive violence, a letter being about half-past three o'clock on the same morning delivered to, and left with, the said Captain Warrington, at the quarters of the said troop, where he was then in command, which letter was from Charles Pinney, Esq., the Mayor of Bristol, and was addressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, or to the officer commanding his Majesty's troops,' and was to the following effect : " Bristol, Three o'clock, Monday morning, Oct. 31, 1831. _ SIA,—I direct you u commanding officer of his Alajesty's troops to take the most vigorous, effective, and decisive measures in your power to quell the existing riot, and prevent further destruction of property. I am, &e. " CHARLES PINNEY.' " And he, Captain Warrington, having then read the said letter, and it being thereupon his bounden duty either to act on the said letter without delay, or if his order did not allow of his so doing, then and in that case immediately to transmit the said letter, or to communicate the contents or purport thereof, to the said Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton; nevertheless he, Captain Warrington, neither acted on the said letter as aforesaid, nor transmitted or communicated the same, or the contents or the pur port thereof, to Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton: but on the contrary retained such letter in his possession without taking any step whatever in reference to, or in consequence of the same, until some time after wards, when he was applied to by a magistrate in person; by reason of which conduct on the part of Captain Warrington, the said troop remained inac tive in its quarters for upwards of an hour after his receiving the said letter, during which interval of time the rioters, being left without opposition or controul, sacked and fired several houses, and des troyed a great amount of other property." That he is Guilty thereof. With respect to the third charge—namely, " For that during the said 30th and 31st of Oc tober, 1831, while the said rioters were perpetrating acts of gross and increasing outrage in the city of Bristol, so that the said city, for many successive hours, appeared in imminent danger of destruction at periods when it was peculiarly important that the said troop of the 3d Dragoon Guards, being then the only military force in th e dry, should be comm,* led and directed in the most efficient manner for the protection of the city under every emergency that might arise; and when for that purpose it was necessary that the said Capt. Warrington, he being the only commissioned officer then in Bristol with the said troop, excepting a young Cornet of not more than sixteen months' service in the army, should constantly remain at or within immediate call of the quarters of the said troop, while the troop continued there, in order to superintend and direct any move ment required of it ; and, in case of the troop, or any detachment thereof, being ordered out to meet and put down the rioters, he (Captain Warrington) should himself accompany and command the same; and that he (Capt. Warrington) should at every mo ment be ready and on the alert for the performance of the said services, nevertheless he (Captain War rington) greatly neglected or violated his duty in the said several respects, and especially in the fol lowing instances:— " 1. In that the said Captain Warrington, at or about four o'clock in the afternoon of the said 30th of October, when a detachment of the said troop, consisting of two-thirds, or thereabouts, of the dis posable part thereof, was ordered out to the city gaol, which was then attacked and threatened with destruction by the rioters, permitted such detach ment to march to that service under the sole com mand of the said Cornet, he, the said Captain War rington, meanwhile remaining inactive in quarters. " 2. In that the said Captain Warrington did afterwards, in the course of the said 30th October, the troop being then in its quarters, altogether ab sent himself from the said quarters, and from the neighbourhood thereof, and remained absent from the same for a very considerable time ; during which time, namely, at or about eight o'clock in the evening, a detachment of the troop, consisting of nearly the whole of the disposable part thereof, being called out to protect the Palace of the Bishop X 14,170 1 25 10,674 2 (0 21,844 3 26 Quantities charged with Duty for Home Con. sumption in the United Kingdom in the Month ended Feb. 1, 1832.
