AN INVALID CARRIAGE COT, with BED, six
leer six inches long, for the REMOVAL of INVA LIDS,
however SEVERELY AFFLICTED, with SAFETY and
EASE. Invented by W. HARMAN and SON, who were ho-
noured by ROYAL command to complete o carriage for the re-
moval of HER late MAJESTY QUEEN CHARLOTTE.
The peculiar construction of this COT and A I'PA RA I 'S is
such. that arty INVALID may be removed from their RED into
a LANDAU adapted for Its reception. without change of position
or increase of suffering, and conveyed to any distance, together
•Ith attendants. _

Many persons of h'gh rank and professional eminence suffering
under the most severe affliction, and from long confinement despair-
ing of the possibility of ever being able to endure removal, have,
by the-benefit this BED of EASIi affords, TRAVELLD, with-
out fatigue or inconvenience, from 90 to 110 miles in one day, and
honoured the Inventors with testimonials of their high approb4tion,
to whom reference may be made.

" Demos et plazens uxor."—Hon.
Thy house. and (in the cup of life,
That honev.drop) thy pleasing wife.
HAPPINESS, " the gay to-morrow of the mind," is
insured by marriage; • the strictest tie of perpetual friend-
ship" is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
which, says Johtrion, " we approach in some degree of association
with celestite intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder,
should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the Mastic fibrebut more especially does the
premature infatuation of ycuth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from which the agonised
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then,
we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength,
felicity ; nor will our ad vances appear questionable, sanctioned es they
are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wrist!'
—for the female habit is °fin constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxa-
tion of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure
speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unreel-
ing empiric from the position so presumptuonsly taken up, we'
deviate from general principles with leas hesitation ; and confident
in our own honourable integrity as 3lembetx of the College of
Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either sex (espe-
cially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house.

for having assaulted hitt on the night of the Ring's Ball, and that
at an interview which the complainant had with Sir Richard, sir-
cumstance3 transpired which led to a suspicion that the real aggres-
sor was Mr. Lee, the High Constable of Westminster. In conse-
quence the complainant and his witnesses were yesterday morning
requested to attend at Bow-street, when Mr. Lee appeared, to de-
fend himself, mane time before the complainant arrived ; and in a
conversation which then took place between hint and the Magis-
trates, he stated, that during the ten years he had been in office, he
never but once used his staff; and that was on the occasion of the
Queen's Funeral Procession.
On the complainant, attended by his wife and niece as witnesses,
entering the office, Mr. Lee withdrew into the body of the office,
and the wife and nieeebeiag called, were asked by Mr. Halls whe-
ther they could identify the party who committed the assault?
Both answered in the affirmative, and the wife was first desired to
point him out from among the body of other officers and strangers
with whom he was mixed. •
The wife accordingly went to the body of the office; and
after surveying each of the groups attentively, pronounced Hens.

The niece was then desired to point out the party she thought
was the aggressor • sad she accordingly entered the ctowd. And
almost immediately pointed out Mr. Lee, who was then desired to
step forward.
The complainant, who spoke confidently to Mr. Lee being the
party who had assaulted bine; and on being reminded by the
Magistrate that' he had before been equally confident that It
was Sir Richard, he explained, that he had been misled by some
persons in the crowd, who assured him it was that Magistrate.
Mr. Lee asked the complainant several questions, the answers to
which went to show that he had, in the course f the day, seen
Mr. Lee repeatedly, but that lie was ignorant who he was: and
further stated, that he had worked for the party when living
in Cocksur-street, in which street it appears Mr. Lee actually
resides.
Mr. Lee declared himself innocent, and expressed himself oen-.
fident of establishing nn alibi.
31r. Altessittrxr said that the assault being positively sworn
to, he felt ft to be his duty to call on ;11r. Lee to find bail.
Bail was put in, and the patties withdrew.
Mr. I,ee says he can prove an alibi.
ROBBERY OF THE WESTMINSTER SCHOLARS.
QUEEN-SqUATlE.—Yesterday Moen Baines, the servant to
Mr. Grant, who keeps a boarding-house in Dean's yard. for the re-
ception of the young gentlemen belonging to Westminster School,
was brought up charged with felony.
Master R. D. Dunn stated that he resided at Mr. Grant's house,
43,Na:tauten. On Tuesday morning he left his inald watch mules
the pillow of his bed, when he got up about half-past seven o'clock.
Soon after eleven he went to his room again, found the bed made,
but the watch was gave, lie asked his school-fellows about it, and
told Master Freemantle. Ile also asked the prisoner, who denied
all knowledge of it. Witness had not seen the watch since; it was
a gold one, with blue riband and key.
Mr. George Preston, the usher, said, on hearing yesterday morn-
ing the loss of a gold watch with other thing., he told 31r. Grant
it would be necessary to examine all the female servants' boxes,
They accordingly searched two, but found nothing. They then
!enured to the prisoner's box, which was found locked, and she
held the key in her possession. The prisoner then opened the box
herself, took the articles out, and among them they discovered a
gold pin, three handkerchiefs—two cambric and one silk, with
some duplicates. The watch, it appeared, was rolled in a quantity,
of rags, which the prisoner was opening when it dropped on tae,
floor. Witness then asked her how the watch came in her posses-
sion ? when she denied all knowledge of it, but soon afterwards
said she supposed the devil had put it into her head to do such a
thing, fell on her knees, and begged forgiveness. Witness how-
ever sent for Oxley, one of the persons employed in the cloister'',
who took the prisoner into custody.
Master Dunn identified the gold watch as his property, it coat
eight guineas.
Master Freemantle said the pin he generally kept in his bed.
room, near the glass ; he very seldom wore it ; he, however, had
aniseed it yesterday, and had asked the Frisoner whether she knew
any thing respecting it. who answered him in the negative.
The prisoner said nothing in her defence, and was fully com-
mitted to Ne*gate ter trial.
Mr. Grant Noted that the prisoner had been but a few days in his
employ, and that she was only 9 temporary servant.

Uutorr-Ifat.r..— William Peck, a lad about sixteen years of
age, war charged on suspicion of forgery, under the following cir-
CUMInInCell

Tomas Crafter, landlord of the Bricklayers' Arms, Kent-road,
deposed, that about P o'clock on Tuesday night prisoner came to It's
house, and representing himself as the servant of a Mrs. Newsom,
residing at No. 5, in the Paragon, New Kent-road, asked him to
oblige his mistress with cash for the checque now produced. The
checque was dated July 5,182 d, and purported to be drawn by
Thomas Clint on the Borough bank of Messrs. Weston, l'imung,
and Rostock, in favour of Sir. Coxe, for the 51.111 of 101. 4, fat.
Witness told prisoner he must first return to his mistress, and get
her to write her name on time checque. The lad went out as for that
purpose, and shortly afterwards again returned to him, presenting
the checeiue with the following endorsement on the back of it—
'• Mrs. Newsum, July 12, 1825." Witness gm laim cash for the
checque, but suspecting him, requested Treby, the night-consta-
ble of St. Charge's, and who just then entered his house, to follow
him, for the purpose of ascenaining whether his story was correct.
Treby stated, that the bo•• did not go towards the Paragon, and
he therefore apprehended and took him bock to the Bricklayers'
Arms, where, on searching him, he found on his person three
other cheques upon the same bank, two sirleti " Thomas (loss,"
payable to Mr. Castleman and Mr. Benton, for the slams of el. 2s.

seaeral bills of different tradesmen, front which it has since been
ascertained that the prisoner wns recently in the service of a gentle-
man, named ['Mason. residing at Nenning,ton.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Two lads, giving the names of Morgan and O'Brier, were
charged with an assault and highway rubbery, by Francis Calling,
a butcher, residing at No. 7, Canterbury-street, Comwall-road.—
Prosecutor stated, that on crossing Waterloo-bridge between the
hours of 11 and 12 last night, accompanied by his wife, the pri.
soners frequently pushed against him, but he, supposing them in.
toxicated, merely desired they would not repeat such conduct ;
Morgan replied that he should push against him as often as he
pleased; they continued close to him until they arrived at the tail
gate of the Surrey end of the bridge, when they passed and went
through. Prosecutor's wife walked down the Waterloo-road a
little in advance of witness ; just as he arrived at the steps leading
down into the Commercial-road, the prisoners rushed out upon
him, and Morgan knocked him down ; both the prisoners then
closed upon and beat witness, who called nut to his wife, " Sarah,
1 shall be murdered ;" she came to his a-sistance, when he got up,
but was immediately struck by Morgan, when, falling against the
wall, he became senseless; and did not recollect what subsequently
occurred, until on recovering he found himself in the stets of a
I watchman.
1 Sarah Conine, the wife of the prosecutor, confirmed the testimony
of her htesband, and stated, in addition, that when she had passed
the steps leading from the Waterlbo-road to the Commercial•road
by a few yards, she heard prosecutor call out, " Oh, Sarah 1
shall be murdered." She turned round, and saw the prisoners
struggling with her husband. Running towards them, a watch
tell from one of them on.~ the pavement. Morgan then knocked
her husband down, who, wRh her assistance, got up, but was again
knocked down by Morgan, who, with O'brien, fell upon hint,
beating him violently, and repeatedly knocking his head neon the
flags. Witness picked.up the watch, which she put in her bosom,
and cried out repeatedly, ' Kelp !" Shortly afterwards a watch-
man came up, to whom she gave charge of the prisoners. stating
that they had robbed prosecutor of his watch, which site bad picked
up from the ground.
Michael Downing the watchman, Nearing the erles of the last
'witness, ran to her assistance, lie found the prosecutor senseless on
the ground and the prisoner* epee hitn, beating hint dreadfully.

ESCAPED CONVICT.
About three weeks, or a month since., a man, named Jaw&
Marsden, was charged at this office by John Gaites, NK• of the
hermitage, Woking. Surrey, with the offence called '` sharp-
chopping," at Guildford Fair. op the 4th of May last. From the
evidence then given it appeared tolerably clear that Marsden had.
in conjunction with his associate Lloyd. exchanged a glantlered
horse of the value of 305.„ for one worth 301, the property of Mr.
Gaites, through the simplicity of that gentleman's servant, who
was persuaded by Lloyd to chop with Marsden, under a promise
to give him 30/. for the 204. animal as soon us the bargain was
struck. The two men, however, disappeared suddenly holm the
fair, leaving the countryman in amaze at the falsehood told him.
and the folly of relying on the promise, when be looked at the
poor beast left in exchange for that he had brought to the market.
On that occasion, it appearing to the sitting Magistrate that the
offence was se niething short of felony, the case was allowed to be
compromised.
Alalatlen was now placed at the bar, charged with havirg
est aped from a convict ship, he being at the time under sentence of
transportation for life.
Snow, the 4-him, Stated that information had been received ty
him, in conjunction with the veteran Glannon, of the amount paid
by prisoner's gang in compromising the sharp.chopping jvb at
Guildford. The horse taken away had been valued at only 301.,
and the amount paid for settling the affair exceeded COl.
The Magistrate here made an observation, which escaped the
ear of our reporter, but the effect of which was the restraining Snow
to the simple facts of the present charge.
Snow and Glannon, pursuant to the result of their inveatigatior, ,
apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night.
Mr. Staples, chief clerk, hail an interview with Mr. Capper. v'
the Transport Office, last night, when that gentleman had given
him the paper now produced.
The document in question was an official memorandum of the
Superintendant of convicts at NVoolwich, from which it appeared
that a man, named John Marsden, was convicted at Derby Assures,
March ia22, for highway robbery, and sentenced to transportation
for life : that such prisoner had subsequently escaped from the
Caledonia, into which he had been drafted from the Juatiaa hulk :
and that the said John Meriden had two moles on his left cheek,
and a scar on the thumb of his left hand.

On examination of the prisoner, these moles and the sear were
suffcicnt identification, and the 31agistrair remanded him, in order
to procure the attendance of other than presumptive evidence pre-
vious to the committal for trial.
