VICINITY.
CLARENCE HOUSE,

1/IRS. CUTTER has the honour to inform the Ladies of
1.1.1 Liverpool that she is appointed to the AGENCY of
Mrs. GEARY'S celebrated ANATOMICAL STAYS,
patronised by her Most Gracious _Majesty Queen Victoria,
her Majesty the Dowager Queen Adelaide, and the Royal
Family, and begs leave to lay before the Public the following
high Testimonials of the superiority of 'Mrs. Geary's newly-
invented Stays :

TESTIMONIALS.
" I have much pleasure in stating that the stays invented
by Mrs. Geary will obviate all the inconveniences of those
commonly employed."—C. J. B. Aldis, M.D., Old Bur-
lington-street, March 6th, 1837.
" It appears to me that Mrs. Geary's Stays are infinitely
superior to those in ordinary use."—B. C. Brodie.
I have examined the Stays invented by Mrs. Geary, and
think them admirably adapted to give salutary support to the
body, without that injurious pressure which renders ordinary
Stays so extremely prejudicial."—J. T. Conquest, M.D.
' It is in the complete Corset that the genius of Mrs.
Geary has had full swing. The problem to he solved was
to support the figure, yet not to diminish freedom of
Motion, and to conceal the size of the abdomen when too
large."—Extracted from Dr. James Johnson's " Medico-
Chirurgical Review" for January, 1837.
" I have examined Mrs. Geary's improved Stays, and I
have no hesitation in saying, I think them infinitely superior
for the purpose of support to any in use. I consider the
Belt also, invented by the same lady, for pregnant females,
devised upon an exceedingly good principle."—Francis H.
Ramsbotham, M.D., New Broad-street, March 2, 1837.
" In Mrs. Geary's Corset for grown girls, the pressure on
every part of the chest is light, and by exerting no pressure
on the edges of the hip, it does not (by forcing those edges to
grow inward), diminish, during youth, the cavity of the
pelvis, or hazard the suffering which must attend that mal-
formation in mothers."—Extracted from Mr. Coulson's
work on " Deformities of the Chest and Spine," 2nd Edition.
" Mrs. Geary's Stays, of all kinds, present a new and ra-
tional principle in the construction of the inr,s, important por-
tions of dress. The formation of the bosom..:,id of all parts
adapted to prominences, is a matter of great ingenuity, and of
extraordinary beauty."—Extracted from " Female Beauty,"
by Mrs. A. Walker. " The Exercise Corset, invented by
Mrs. Geary, is absolutely nesessary in all exercises of the
arms, and especially in the Indian exercises, for which they
were constructed."—Extracted from " Exercises for Ladies,"
by Donald Walker, 2d Edition.

"I am satisfied of the superiority of Mrs. Geary's Stays
and Belt for pregnant Ladies, and I shall make a point of
recommending them whenever I have an opportunity."—
James Eyre, M.D. 15, Lower Brook-street, March, 22, 1837.
" The Stays invented by Mrs. N. Geary, from the ingenu-
ity with which they are constructed, are eminently adapted
to allow of that ease and freedom of motion so essential to
elegance and health. They appear, therefore, likely to prove
far superior to the stays in common use, which contribute to
`le production of much deformity and many serious diseases,'

-a. F. D. Evans, M.D. 21, Hill-street Berkley-square.
The following Medical Gentlemen are Of opinion, that Mrs.
Geary's Stays, in consequence of the great improvements
they present—their capability of adaptation to every variety
of form—their removal of all unequal pressure by the re-
jection of gores and gussets—and the proper employment of
elastic materials, are deserving of the strongest recommen,
dation :

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 14, 1339.

We have received the Graham's Town Journal to the
14th of March. Great complaints are still made in
the colony of the frequent depredations of the Kafirs.
The commerce of the colony appears to be in a pros-
perous condition.

Since our last, intelligence has been received from
ma, corroborating the news brought by the Liver-

prol respecting the defeat of the confederated Bolivian
and Peruvian troops under Santa Cruz. A private
letter brought by the Hudson, which arrived here on
Tuesday, states that the hostile armies were encamped
close together, in the neighbourhood of Yungay, about
one hundred miles from Lima. Santa Cruz never
dreamed that he conld be attacked, and was only ap-
apprehensive that the Chilians would escape him.
However, on the 20th of January they came down
upon his army, and, whether there was treason or mere
cowardice in the ranks of the Peru-Bolivians, the re-
sult was, that they soon got into disorder; and al-
though a Columbian general, Moran, did his utmost to
turn the fate of the battle, his efforts were useless, and
the defeat was complete. Several generals and a num-
ber of soldiers were made prisoners ; all the artillery
and military chests were lost; a great many werekilled,
and the remainder dispersed. Santa Cruz, who came
down to Lima from the field of battle in four days, was
the first to carry the news to that city. On the 28th
of January he left for the south, leaving' Callao under
the charge of one of his few brave and faithful officers,
Moran. Other accounts, received by way of Valpa-
raiso and Santiago de Chili, state that Santa Cruz was
said to have lost 1,500 men, and that the Chilian com-
mander himself owned to a loss of 500 men. From
these last accounts it would appear that the Chilians
had no alternative left but to fight, as they were nearly
hemmed in on all sides, and the roads in their rear
were so impassable, that, in case of retreat, they could
scarcely have saved a man. On the day of battle there
was not a single ration left for man or horse, so that
they were in a state of utter desperation. According
to advices from Huacho, of the 16th February, it was
stated that Santa Cruz was to make a stand at Gua-
manga, where he had 4,000, besides such fugitives as
might join him from Yungay. General Vigil had left ,
