METROPOLITAN PATENT WOOD-
PAVEMENT COMPANY,
MEETING AT LIVERPOOL.
As a MEETING held at the ADELPHI HOTEL, LI-
VERPOOL, on Tuesday, the 26th of May, 1840; present,
amongst others, the Worshipful the Mayor, several Aldermen,
Common Councilmen, and kAntamissioners of Highways for Li-
verpool, Toxteth-park, &c., and the Surveyors for those places,
and for the Townships of West Derby, Everton, &c.
--JOHN HoLstEs, Esq„ Chairman of the Highway Board for
Liverpool, in the Chair.
Mr. J. Lee Stevens, of London, produced models, and ex-
plained the nature of the invention used by the Metropolitan
Patent Wood-Pavement Company, upon the principle of that
laid down by them at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and
other places ; when,
Upon the motion of PETER Hors, Esq., seconded by Wm-
LIA3I GUYTON, Esq.,
It was resolved unanimously—
That this Meeting approves of the scientific principle adopted
by the Metropolitan Patent Wood-Pavement Company, and
feels obliged to Mr. Stevens fer his explanation and informa-
tion on the subject. JOHN HOLMES, Chairman.
The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Chairman
for his courteous and efficient conduct in the Chair.

if it cannot share in the profit
received by the Metropolitan
Company who first adopted the principle.
LIVERPOOL CHRONICLE.—Mr. Stevens succeeded
in satisfying his auditors that this is the only scientific and appli-
cable plan for the adaptation of wood, to the
that it forms a most durable, and consequently,rpose of paving ;
substitute for all other material--that it prevents any
economical
accumu-
lation of dust, or mud, or annoyance from noisean that,
besides favouring the passing of every sort of vehicl; so mh
as to reduce the wear and tear very considerably, this pavement
enables two horses to do at least the work of three employed
upon any other description of surface.
LIVERPOOL STANDARD.—We understand that the
pavement laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and
other places, by the Metropolitan Patent Wood-pavement
Company, gives the utmost satisfaction both to Government
and to the public, and that great pecuniary advantages justly
accrue to the spirited adopters of the invention. We should
certainly like to see it tested in our streets. Exchange-street,
East, for heavy vehicles, and Church-street for lighter car-
riage', would perhaps be the best spots that could be selected.
GORE'S ADVERTISER.—It was stated at the meeting
that the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Company are
already engaged in extensive and profitable works, and there
appears to be no doubt, from the very general feeling mani-
fested on this occasion, that this pleasant and useful Pavement
will very soon be laid down in Liverpool.
LIVERPOOL JOURNAL.—It can scarcely be wondered
at, that with all these advantages the Metropolitan Company
asks and obtains prices enormously profitable; but it is fair
matter for consideration that these prices may be modified
where pavement is laid cheaper than in London.
Models and Reports on the merits of the invention by Sur-
veyors and other competent authorities may be seen at the
Offices of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Company,
No. 20, John-street, Adelphi, London, where, or at the Soli-
citors, Messrs. Hodgson and Burton, 10, Salisbury-street,
Strand, prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for
Shares should be immediately addressed.
In Liverpool apply to Messrs. D. and J. B. Neilson, Share
Brokers, 3, Exchange-court, Exchange-street East.

U. CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRUfEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
tier° are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure of
which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them-
selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them-
selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re-
course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily
advertised, ho has made arrangements to see patients at his
own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an
opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment
that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all
forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential
particulars.
