GEARY'S NEW INVENTED STAY.

fly SPECIAL APPOINTMENT,
STAYAND CORSET MAKER TO HER,MOST GRA-
CIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN VI ORIA.
TO
Her MAJESTY ADELAIDE, the QU N DOWAGER,
Her Imperial Highness the PRINC Sof ORANGE,
and to her Daughter the PRIM' • SS SOPHIE.
ulls. NICHOLAS GEARY, CET STAYMAKEE, 61,
,1 ST. JAMES'S-STREET, LONDON, solicits attention to
her new invented STAY, of the most exquisite shape, exter-
minating all that injurious pressure which prevails in all
other Stays, and producing a figure of unequalled symmetry.
In the work entitled Female Beauty, Mrs. A. Walker thus
remarks, " In Mrs. N. Geary's Stay the formation of the
bosom and of all the parts adapted to prominences is a matter
of great ingenuity and EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY." The
adoption of this invention is of the most vital importance to
he rising generation, as may be seen in Mr. Coulson's work
on " Deformities of the Chest and Seine," (2d edition,)
where, after enumerating no fewer than ninety-seven diseases
arising from the malformation of Stays in ordinary use, he
remarks that Mrs. Geary's newly invented Stay is truly use-
ful, having in its general structure an advantage over every
other. Mrs. Geary also holds Certificates from the following
Medical Gentlemen, recommending this invention :
Sir Jas. E. Anderson, M. D. Sir James Eyre, M.D.
Dr. Aldis Dr. G. F. D. Evans
Sir Benjamin Brodie, Dart. Dr. Ferguson
Dr. Birkbeck Dr. Holland
Dr. Bright Dr. James Johnson
1)r. Burn R. Keate, Esq.
Dr. Badeley Dr. Locock
Dr. G. F. Babington Dr. Lichfield

Dr. Copland Dr. Hamilton Roe
Dr. Curie Dr. Sigmond
Dr. G. F. Collier Sir M. J. Tierney, Bart.
Dr. Henry Davies Donald Walker, Esq.
Dr. Thomas Davies

Mrs. N. GEARY begs to inform the Ladies, that she has
appointed Mrs. CUTTER, Milliner, &c., No. 11, Clarence-
street, Rodney-street, her SOLE AGENT for Liverpool,
where every description of Stay is kept for inspection.

RETREAT NEAR LEEDS
FOR TILE

ALTERATIONS.

RECEPTION AND RECOVERY OF PERSONS AFFLICTED WITH

DISORDERS OF THE MIND.
Af R. HARE begs to announce to the Profession and the
11 Public, that the above Establishment is under his
particular Superintendence, and that the most strict attention
is paid to the Medical, as well as Moral Treatment of the
Individuals who are committed to his care.
The Retreat is delightfully situated on Rising Ground at
the opening of Aire-Dale, little more than a wile from the
town of Leeds; the situation is healthy, cheerful, and also
sufficiently retired ; the Gardens and Plantations are exten-
sive ; the Premises combine proper accommodations for the
Exercise and Amusement. of the Patients ' • and the Apart-
ments are spacious, lofty, well ventilated, and fitted up in the
most commodious manner.

The Establishment is to be considered more in the light of
a temporary Residence in the Country, where the Patient is
placed while he undergoes such a plan of treatment as may
be necessary to restore the functions of the brain, than as an
Asylum, in the common acceptation of the term; hence it is
well suited for persons of weak mind, or who may be subject
to fits of temporary insanity—for whom confinement is ne-
cessary.* In recent cases, a perfect and speedy recovery
may generally be expected.

- .
Applications, either personal, or by letter, postage free,
addressed 26, East Parade, Leeds, will meet with immediate
attention, and have the most satisfactory references, if re-
quired, to Patients already discharged, or their Friends ;
also to Physicians resident in London, Dublin, Leamington,
Leeds, Sheffield, Scarborough, Wakefield, Bradford, &c.,
who have.had occasion to visit Patients at tue Retreat.

MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING

Ly horse for the Derby that has been noticed with
, since our, quotations of Tuesday, is one of Lord
strong team, viz., the colt by Sultan, out of Velvet ;
is been very freely pencilled down. Prince Albert
the same price. There does not appear to be any
move in the leading favourites, so as to give us an oppor-
tunity of altering the last prices ; consequently we must refer
the reader to them.

TATTERSALL' S—THURSDAY.
The dullness consequent on the approach of Christmas
prevails at Hyde Park Corner, as well as other places in the
metropolis ; business is excessively flat and not of much
importance. The few bets and offers made this afternoon led
to no other results than what might have been expected from
Monday's transactions. The Angelica colt rose to 16 to 1, a
point more than which would have been taken readily. 'We
question, indeed, if he was not as good a favourite as either
Muley Ishmael or Brother to Euclid, against whom no }rives
were named. Wardan dropped to 20 to 1 ;,,„Ottoman and the
Velvet colt advanced to 33 to 1 against with takers of 40 to 1 ;
8 to I was laid against Angelica and Muley Ishmael ; and 500
even between Mayboy and Gambia.
