IMPORTANT CAUTION.
THE RECUMBENT CHAIR is the in-
genious invention of R. DAWS, 17, Margaret-
street, Cavendish-square. The recommendations of it, in
many Scientific Works, induced many unprincipled Up-
holsterers to sell an imitation of it, which, we find, does not
afford the came extent of comfort to invalids, or as an or-
dinary Resting Chair as the original. We, therefore, ad-
vise the obtaining of it of Robert Daws.”--Dr. Reece's
Medical Annual, 1831.
ROBERT DAWS respectfully states that no other prin-

INSOLVENT COURT-APRIL 2.

Edward Winnall was opposed by Mr. WooD-
ROFFE, on behalf of J. Jones. It was alleged that
he had made away with his property under the cover
of a collusive sale to his daughter.
Insolvent, who owned a porter-shop in Newport,
Monmouthshire, and kept some saddle-horses for
hire, was examined by Mr. Woodroffe, with the in-
tention of establishing the objections.
Mr. WOODROFFE.—How many horses had you at
the time of your arrest had none. What be-
came of them ?—I sold them before. When did you
sell the last horse ?—lt was not a horse, it was a
mare. (A laugh.) How many did you sell ?
Three or four; I used not to keep more. Old mar,,
how many horses had you at the rime of your
surest ?—(Peevishly,)— It was no horse, it was a
mare, and she died. (Laughter.)
The examination then proceeded, and some other
evidence was adduced.—lnsolvent remanded for
seven months.

From the notice which Eirl Bahurst had given on a
preceding evening, retative to the presentation of the Oxford
petition, a notion had been erroneously entertained that the
Chancellor of the University (Lord Grenville) in-
tended once more on entering the political arena for the
sake of presenting the petition to the House, and it was
added, of attending in his place during the second read-
ing of the Bill, and eve❑ throughout the discussions in
the Committee. It would appear this erroneous impression
had prevailed to some extent throughout the House itself,
and there was a very numerous attendance of the r
Lordships. The great age and infirmities of Lord
Grenville, wilt his declaration that he had for
ever abandoned every thing connected with po-
litical life, was not sufficient to prevent the expectation
that his Lordship would be roused by his hostility to Re-
form to appear once more in that House in the debates
of which fie had formerly borne a conspicuous part.
Earl BATHURST rose and said, that in the absence of
the Noble Chancellor of the University of Oxford, it
became his duty to present the petition which that
learned body had addressed to the House of Lords.
When he reflected on the changes which his Ma-
jesty's Ministers were about to introduce into the
Legislature, and consequently into all the institu-
tions of the country, he could have no hesitation
in saying that he fully supported the prayer of the peti •
lion. The Reform Bill, as it was called, was about
to entirely disfranchise fifty-six boroughs, and to par-
tially distranchise twenty-two more, although these places
had long possessed the pi iv lege of returning Members to the
House of Commons, and had exercised that privilege with
such signal advantage to the country. The petitioners
stated, that they objected to these changes, because they
deemed them thoroughly dangerous and fraught with
evil to all the best interests of the country. The
preamble and the body of the Bill were by no means con-
sistent ; the preamble merely stated that Parliament was
prepared to extend the elective franchise to many of his
Majesty's subjects who hitherto had not been possessed of
that privilege ; but not one word did it say of depriving any
man of the elective franchise which he had hitherto
enjoyed. It was further to be complained of that
these boroughs were to be disfranchised without assign-
ing any reason for the number that was to be disfranchised.
Ministers called on the House to determine that a precise
numb,r of places should be deprived of this privilege
without giving any one reason why this number was fixed
on. In addition to this, the petitioners stated that it
appeared to them that the changes were calculated
to create a spirit of revolt, and would be the fore-
runners of many evils. Persons hail argued, that by
making the boroughs to be disfranchised so nume-
rous ; the question of Reform would be finally set-
tled, but the petitioners thought that the alteration of
the whole representative system of a kingdom was too vast
an undertaking to come within the grasp of any man, or
set of men. The petitioners explained, that under the pro•
posed changes a great variety of principles would come into
play, beyond what Ministers anticipated or could contem-
plate, and the Bill would do any thing rather than settle the
subject. The petitioners apprehended that the Bill would
encourage a love of change without satisfying any man, and
that it would foster a wild spirit of emulation beyond what
it would be in the power of Parliament to sanction. The
Bill would have the effect of disturbing the balance of
power, which was the essence of the Consti-
tution, and how mysterious this effect would be
he need not state to their Lordships. He believed that a
House of Commons, purely deinocratical, would be en-
gaged in any thing rather than in correcting its own
abuses. He had now done his duty in stating the objec-
tions which the petitioners hail to the Bill ;
and be had accompanied that statement by obser-
vations of his own, which he thought calculated to
support the views of the petitioners. Those who had
signed it stated that they contemplated the changes intro-
duced by Ministers with sorrow and alarm. So averse were
they to theßil I, that they reluctantly came from the sanctuary
of academic life, and approached their Lordships in the
hope that they would not give their sanction to the Bill,
being convinced that their Lordships in so doing would
compromise all the important interests of the country.
Earl GREY said that be was little disposed at that
moment to prematurely occupy the attention of the House,
and still less was he disposed to throw imputations on the
motives of those persons who had so reluctantly withdrawn
themselves front the retirement of academic life in order to
present this petition to their Lordship's House. He only
thought it necessary, in answer to the statements of the peti-
tioner, and to the observations made by the Noble Earl in
presenting it, that all the matter contained in one and the
other would come under the discussion of their
Lordships, when the proper time for discussion ar-
rived, which would be at the second reading of the Bili
until that period arrived, he should refrain from entering
into the subject, but in the mean time, he should merely,
observe that it was some satisfaction to him to find that even
in a peititon like the present, there was an acknowledgment
that some sort of Reform was necessary. When the time
arrived, he trusted he should be able to show by arguments
that would be satisfactory even to the petitioners, that
there would be no danger in entertaining the considera-
tion of the Bill, and that its provisions would be consistent
with the safety of all the institutions in the kingdom.
He could assure the Noble Earl that it was as much his
intention to uphold and support those institutions as it
could be the intention of the Noble Earl himself, or of
those who had voted this petition. Until the proper period
arrived, he should postpone any further observed, ns ou
the subject, however he might be inclined to reply to some
points in the petition.
Mr. BEftsiwe and others from the Commons brought
up the Marine Mutiny Bill and two private Bills.
Petitions against Tithes were presented by Lerd Kixo
and the Earl of FINGAL.

In answer to the Duke of WELLINGTON,
Lords MELBOURNE and PLUNKETT saw no reason Why
the consideration of the Irish Juries Bill should be post►

The SPEAKER entered the House at a Quarter to Four
o'clock, when the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod ap•
peared at the Bar, and summoned the House to the House
of Lords, to hear the royal assent given by commission to
several Bills. The Speaker and several Members then
left the House, and on their return read a list of the Bills
to which the Royal Assent had been given, and for which
see the Lords' Report.
Mr. BERNAL presented a petition from Mr. Hairley,
an owner of land in the New North-road, and other per-
sons, against the Bill for malting a new road near High-
bury-place, and praying that the period of thirty-one
ye ire stated in the Bill might be altered to twelve years.
Mr. BYNG brought up the report of the amendments
on the Highbury-.road Committee. On the moticn that
they he read a second time,
'Mr. HUME objected to several parts of the Bill as in.
jurious to the property of persons in the line of road. He
moved several amendments, among which were two to
limit the period of the tolls to twelve years instead of
thirty-one years, and that the trustees be prevented from
erecting side tolls.

Mr. BYNG hoped the House would agree to the Bill as
it now stood, the Committee being unanimous, with the
exception of his Hon. Colleague (Mr. Hume).
Lord LOWTHER made a few observations, which were
quite inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. WILKS thought these parties would get much
more by the Bill than the public ought to allow them to
obtain.• He thought the House ought not to en-
courage these sort of speculation in roads.—(Hear,
hear.) He thought there was something exceedingly
suspicious in the statement of 12,0001. being expended in
the formation of a road of only a mile and a quarter in
length.
The House, after some further observations from Mr.
HUME, divided, when there appeared—
For the Original Amendments 9
Against them
Majority 47

The House again divided upon another amendment, re•
lative to the period to which the Act should extend, when
there appeared—

F.oi the Amendment 42
Against it l5
Majority -27
The Bill, with the amendments, was ordered to be en-
gi ossed.

Mr. BYNG presented three petitions against the Bir-
mingham Railway Bill.
Colonel DAVIES rose, pursuant to notice, to move for
a Select Committee, to inquire how far the glove trade of
the United Kingdom was injured by the introduction of
smuggled goods, and concerning the best means of affording
protection to the trade. He rose upon the present occasion
with extreme reluctance, when he recollected the
lengthy debate upon the subject which had al-
ready taken place ; but when he recollected what
had been done oa the motion for granting an inquiry on
the silk trade, he could not but call the attention of the
Howie to a few circumstances connected with that debate.
He had heard his Right Hon. Friend's speech on that
occasion with great satisfaction, because every word he
uttered, every argument he used, and every position he
took, furnished him (Colonel Davies) with the strongest
arguments in support of the claims he espoused, and against
the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. P. Thompson). The
Right Hon. Gentleman had used arguments to prove
what he asserted at the beginning of his speech, viz. that
there was no occasion for inquiry as to the state of the
silk trade, and yet he concluded by conceding that
inquiry, while, as to the glove trade, he rea-
dily admitted, that distress certainly existed, and
yet refused an inquire into the beat means of affording
protection to the trade. On the silk question th.
Right Heinourible Member referred to his speech in 1626
—a speech which he (Col. Davies) should never forget—
and made use of precisely the same arguments with those
made use of by Ain-Huskies:on ; but then there was this
difference,...that the Right Hon. Gentleman granted that

nquiry which Mr. Htiskisson, upon the came facts, refused.
An Hon. Member on a former occasion had stated there
.sere not a hundred dozen pairs of gloves smuggled
nto this country in the course of the year, but
said that before the importation of foreign gloves
became legal a great deal of smuggling was carried on,
Now it was evident, that if the smuggling existed be-
fare the importation became legal, the facilities of smug-
gling were much greater since. One house in this
metropolis within the last few weeks has been offered to
one lot three thousand dozen of pairs of French smug
Bled gloves, and this he (Colonel Davies) was ready to
prove before a Committee. Another fact was, that the
greater part of Gentleman's gloves came from France
packed in silver paper. The silver piper kept them
from beating, and the smuggler packed them and
silver paper, knowing that it might be a
considerable time before be was able to get his goods de-
livered. Also, there was another trick in the trade, which
was exceeding common, and that was in packing 14 OS
15 pieces together to thedoz.tn. Gentlemen's gloves were
Pressed tightly together, being very thin, were sent over as
ladies' gloves. These were all tricks which were daily
practised, and which the Gallont Officer prepared
to prove without any difficulty in delay. He had no
doubt that if this subject was investigated, the same
sort of disclosures would take place as regarded the
smuggling of gloves, which have come to light respecting
the; smuggling of spiri, It has been said by an Hon.
Member that gloves couWe made as cheap in this country
as on the Continent, but how that could be he (Colonel
Davis) was totally at a loss to understand, because
he had been assured, on what lie conceived to be the
best authority, that the very best gloves could not he
made here for less than eight shillings and sixpence
a dozen pair, whereas the best Grenoble could be made
lot 4s. 61. Therefore, without a protecting duty
it was utterly impossible that the English glove manufac-
turer could compete with the foreign glove manufacturer.
Let his Majesty's Government show, if they could, that
there were no means of remedying the distress; anti if
they showed that, be would be satisfied that no blame
ought to be attached to them. At the same time, if what
was demanded was deemed reasonable, they ought to con-
sider it. The people whose cause he represented were
most loyal, and had never joined in any of the disturd-
ances hick had prevailed in many parts of the country.—
He concluded by moving ;hat a Select Committee be ap-
pointed to inquire how far the clove trade had been in-
jured by the introduction of smuggled goods, and to recom-
mend some remedial measure.
Mr. R. GORDON secouded the motion. He could
assure the House that be was personally acquainted with
the distress which existed in the glove trade, and he sub-
mitted that it was the duty of the House to appoint a Com-
ntittee to inquire into the cause of that distress.
Mr. I'. THOMPSON trusted that it was not neces-
sary for him to urge the same objections to the
appointment of a Committee as he bad urged upon
a former occasion. He had not heard from the
Hon. and Gallant Officer one single reason, nor one
single argument why the Committee should be
granted. The Hun. and Gallant Officer had stated that
he (Mr. P. T.) had denied the existence of any distress in
the Silk Trade, and that there was, undoubtedly, one
ground for the appointment of a Committee, What
he did state was, in fact, quite the reverse. He admitted
the existence of distres., and although he did not concur
in the appointment of a Committee upon the grounds
then urged, yet he concurred in it, upon special
grounds, such as the amount of duty, and the
extensive smuggling that was t en carrying on in silk.
The present case was wholly distinct from that of
the Silk Committee. In this case there were
no special circumstances, and no advantage would be
gained by the appointment of a Committee, but, on the
contrary, it would be productive of much inconveni-
ence of the trade.—(Hear.) He admitted that the
might be considerable distress in that trade, but he be-
Hove(' it was n..t to such an extent as had been
stated—(Hear, hear)—in proof of which opinion
he know that the number of manufacturers in Yeovil
had considerably increased within these last four year-.
The Hon. and Gallant Officer hail taken considerable pains
to obtain information, and he (Mr. P. Thomson) wis ed
that he bad more thoroughly sifted the sources of that
information, and the bearings of it, which would have
enabled him to arrive at a different conclusion than
he done ; for instanee, the Honourable and Gallant
Officer hid stated that 1,100,000 skins werenow- in
wa.ebouse, and he argued from that circumstance that
there was less work, and that lees gloves had been made
to that amount during the year 1831. Now if the
Honourable and Gallant Officer had enquired what
number of skins were in warehouse in 1830 or 1829, be
would have found that it was always customary to keep a
large stock on hand in warehouse, to be used when the
glove season came on.
