:11IPORTANT TO TAILORS AN!) CUTTERS OF

GARMENTS.
OLIVER, Reporter of Fashions, and
• Teacher of Cutting Garments, from New York,
most respectfully informs the Tailors of London, that he has
visited this country with the view of publishing a Report of
Fashions for the United States ; and, at the same time, OF-
FERS for SALE a SYSTEM of CUTTING, the most sim-
ple, correct, and better adapted for the use of the Trade, than
has been invented in this or any other country.
T. 0. intends THIS EVENING, Sept. 12, at Eight o'clock,
to give a LECTURE on MEASURING and DRAFTING of
GARMENTS, at the LOWTHER ROOMS, King William-
street, Strand, when he will expose the folly of tlse breast mea-
sure system, as used in this country, and prove his system to
be more correct. He will, at the same time, answet the fol-
lowing letter, signed " Q. in the Corner ":
" TO MR. THOMAS OLIVER.
" Sir,-1 have been informed, that on the night that you
delivered a Lecture on the System of Cutting, at the King's
Head in Bear-street, you offered your system as one superior
to any yet published in this or any other country ; and that
you were willing to test it as such with the author of any other
system now published or taught. As you did not state any
amount you were willing to venture upon its superiority, I
should be glad if you would mention the sum in the Lecture
you propose to give at the same place this evening ; and as you
wish your work to be subject to general criticism, I beg to sub-
mit to you the following questions :
" First, having examined your draft, I contend that they
will not self-vary to the shape of the customer as you have re-
presented. You have given a draft in your circular, wherein
you represent three coats for three different shapes of the same
breast measure ; those variations as laid down are correct; but
1 contend your rule will not give them correct, withoUt the
cutter exercising his judgment. For instance, it gives the
crooked man too great a length from the front of the sem, to
the shoulder point, and the straight man not sufficient. It does
not lengthen the back part of the shoulder for the crooked man,
or shorten it for the straight man. These are very essential
points ; and until your system remedies those evils, it will not
self-vary at the points you mention. I shall be glad if you
will draft a coat for each of those shapes to-night.
There are other points wherein your system does not appear
to self-vary, as you set forth, and for which I wish you to draft
two coats—one a short thick man, with a very low neck, and
one the reverse. I also wish you to inform me by your sys-
tem, how you would find the back part of the shoulder point
for a very high shouldered person„ and one who droops very
much. From the appearance of your drafts, I should say that
your coat is too straight, and too long from the front of the sue
to the top of the shoulder point ; will you show me how you
establish that point as regards being teo forward or too far
back. You state that your method of bringing a coat in at the
waist is always correct • will you explain to-night wherein it is
more correct than the Old method of balancing acoat.

" I am, Sir, respectfully,
" Q IN THE CORNER."

When I made the assertion alluded to, I did not, as I am
opposed to betting, wish to bet money ; but if " Q " will call
on me before Thursday evening, I will make arrangements
with him to test the merits of the system ; the same to be de-
cided before the meeting on Thursday evening next. On the
former night of meeting he made no charge, but as the ex-
pense of the room is considerable, he must on this night charge
One Shilling Admittance each person.
The System of Cutting may be had at Horne% library, 19,
Leicester- square.
All letters addressed, T. Oliver, 19, Leicester-square.

cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment
thty pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and
successful practice in London, and will not subject any patient

treme nature they eradicate in eight er ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-

rhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily se prevalent,
are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured
to Messrs. Sloan and Ce. so large a share of public patronage,
and which it will be their future exertion to maintain.

by return, and country patients corresponded with until re-
covery.

Pane taciturn dolorem continebant."—Lrv.
As manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character,
undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating'
images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob-
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health,
that being only
palliated which should have been eflectuallfcured. Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore
to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy,
unfeeling empy_
whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of maid-laid
shallriehave

ignorance; e(i ual l y contemning

proud selfishness increases the embarrassment of the afflicted. All
classes of society, not excepting the Anglo-Ini an, but-more espe-
cially such as are about to enter into matrimon al life, are included
in the limits of this address, and to all we confidentiy offer the
result of many years' successful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal censltat:on ; and immediate
answers are returned to country letters ,whic ' must minutely de-
scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant
No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will jbe securely pack el, and

A MAN AND HIS WIFi-A few nights since, at
a very late hour, a violent knocking was heard at the
door of a house in one of the obscure streets of that
filthy part of Paris, called " tha City." Some minutes
afterwards the noise of a pair of wooden shoes was
heard descending from the seventh floor ; and shortly
after, the noise of the lame pair of wooden shoes, with
that of a strong pair of boots tipped with iron, was
heard ascending to the same seventh story. Scarcely
was the house restored to its usual silence, when an
infernal uproar was heard proceeding from the
chamber where the aforesaid pair of shoes
and boots had found shelter for the night.
The sound of blows, the breaking of windows,
the crashing of crockery, the curses of a man, and
the cries of a woman were mingled together in dire con-
fus'oa. The other lodgers of the seventh story were in
dismay ; they ran in shift or petticoat, as the case
might be, to the spot from whence the noise proceeded.
They burst open the door, and there they saw on the
ground a man about 40 years of age, beaten, his hair
torn, his clothes in tatters, and by his side the handle of
a broom, by which all this execution had been done. A
few paces from him a little woman, half fainting, so that
it seemed impossible to know whether she had beaten
her husband, or whether the husband had thwacked her
first, and then fallen foul of himself to make up the
family party.
The neighbours threw open the window and called
for the police. A corporal of the guard and six men
chanced to be passing at the moment, and they hastened

Dieppe is now very gay, a large assemblage of
Parisian fashionables occupying the principal hotels and
lodging houses, for the advantage of the Rains de Mir,
attached to the warm-bath establishment. Near tho
theatre is a large ball and concert room, where balls are
given twice a week, which, with the performance at the
theatre twice a week, fill up the evenings. The Duchess
of Leuchtenburg and her daughter proceed from Dieppe
to Paris, where an hotel has been taken for them in th t
Place Vendome. Kalkbrenner, the celebrated musical
composer, is among the arrivals at Dieppe. •
