PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, No. 4, Argyll-place,
Regent-street, and No. 28, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, may
be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at
Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis with that deli-
cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment
they pursue is the result of .twenty-two years' extensive and
succerdul practice in London, and will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense_ Seminal weakness, Gonor-
rhcea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevalent,
are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured
to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public patronage,
and which-it will be their future exertion to maintain.
N.B.—Letters, post paid, enclosing a foe, will be answered
by return, and country patients corresponded with until re-
covery.

TIIE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE KING-
DOMS.—The close connexion between these two great
component parts of our globe, though sufficiently obvious
in the mass, are sometimes eminently worthy of remark in
detail. A good illustration occurs in the manner of the
growth of Hair and of vegetable productions, which is not
only advanced or retarded by a similar concurrence of cir-
cumstances, as to sun, air, heat, season, &c., but is forced
into strength and luxuriance by artificial applications, by
which nutritious juices are generated in the roots. Thus
the skill of the chemist and agriculturist is directed by
different means to the one end, of contributing to the arts
of civilization. Instances of the successful culture of
exotics in our ungenial climate will readily occur to the
least experienced; and Oenainoe's BALM Of COLUMBIA
affords a ready corroboration of the success of scientific
research in contributing to develope the physical perfec-
tions of man, by its unprecedented success in promoting,
strengthening, and reproducing the Human Hair. OLD-
RIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eyebrows to grow,
prevents the hair from turning grey, and completely frees
it from scurf. Sold wholesale and retail by the Proprie-
1, Wellington-street, Strand, London, and by most
tors,ofihe respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders ;
Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 115. per Bottle. No other prices
are genuine. N.B.—The public are requested to be on
their guard against Counterfeits; ask for " Oldridge's
Balm," 1, Wellington-street, Strand.

Price of Bell's Life in London, fivepence. The Country
Edition is published on Saturday, at twelve o'clock, and
may be despatched by the afternoon trains, so as to reach
their destination the same evening_Office, 170, Strand.
STEAD'S PATENT WOOD PAVEMENT.—It
would appear that besides the Old Bailey, which.is in
course of pavement according to this system, the Strand,
Piccadilly and Berkeley-square, are to follow. The ex-
periment in Oxford-street shows that scarcely any wear or
tear takes place, and daily use renders it more solid, and,
consequently, durable. Its general adoption cannot fail to
add to the comforts of the Metropolis, and the simplicity of
the plan at laying down and the facility of effecting
repairs, are amongst others, great and obvious recommen-
dations. It is to be hoped the result will amply repay the
patentee for his praiseworthy perseverance in bringing it
into practical use.
FETE AT WIMBLEDON PARK.---The Duke
and Duchess of Somerset gave a sumptuous entertainment
to her Majesty on Wednesday. A table was spread for
the Royal party in the dining-room, and an inmense mar-
quee was erected at the end of the portico, capable of
containing the whole assembly with ease. After dinner
the tent was cleared for dancing, and its grand and striking
appearance can only be faintly imagined by stating its
dimensions. These were-180 feet long, 40 feet wide,
35 feet high, with a dome 53 feet diameter, and 50 feet
high, lined throughout with crimson and white, and lighted
by 96 lamps suspended from the roof.—Morning Chronicle,
July 26, 1839. The Queen and the whole of the Royal
Family proceeded to view the extensive marquee, where
the general company were to dine. Is was the longest
tent we ever saw : the roof was supported by 12 columns,
and the length exceeded 60 yards. The interior was
striped with crimson and white, and the floor was entirely
covered with gre n baize. This marquee was supplied
by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of Duke-steeet, who has
successfully rivalled all competitors in the manufacture of
these commodious and elegant temporary soloons.—

The first power-loom for broad cloth weaving that has ever

AT a MEETING of the COUNCIL of the
CONVENTION, held at the Arundel Coffee House,
Strand, on Tuesday, July 38th, 1839,
Mr. SMART in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to :
Resolved—That the infamous conduct of the Melbourne
Government in the affair of Popay, the Police spy, affords un-
equivocal proof that our present Rulers are capable of resorting
to any agency, however dark or criminal, for the purpose of en-
trapping the people into acts of illegality and treason.-IVe,
therefore, deem it advisable, at the present eventful crisis, to
impress upon all friends of the People's Charter, the necessity
of avoiding all secret organizations and associations, (of which
sinister advantage might be taken), and of guarding themselves
against the machinations of those who would lead them into
treasonable or other illegal practices.
Moved by Mr. O'BRIEN, seconded by Mr. BURNS.
Resolved—That any correspondence of a treasonable or felo-
nious character, which agents of the Government or other evil-
disposed persons may send to this Council, shall be published in
the Newspapers, as it is the determination of the Council to
make all its proceedings public.
Moved by Dr. FLETCIIER, seconded by Mr. LOWREY.
Resolved—That Messrs. Feargus O'Connor, Lowrey, and
Dr. Fletcher, be appointed a Committee, to prepare an Address
to the Trades of Great Britain, soliciting their co-operation and
advice, in respect to the projected National Holiday.
Moved by Mr. BURNS, seconded by Mr. O'BRIEN.
