METROPOLITAN INFIRMAItY for the
CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRHCEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it fuels assured that
rre 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, he 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 trnployment of one kind of medicine for all
forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential
particulars.

CHEAPSIDE, may be Consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue 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. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.

STEWART V. GRIMSTONE.
Mr. BAILEY appeared to show cause against a rule to
set aside a nonsuit directed in this case by the Under-
Sheriff for the county of Middlesex, which was obtained
by Mr. Mansell.
The plaintiff was the proprietor of a publication called
the " Monthly Miscellany. His agent called upon the
defendant, who was the maker of the celebrated " Eye
Snuff" *hich bears his name, and solicited that his adver-
tisements might appear in the " Miscellany." The order
Iva.: given, and the advertisements appeared, but, in place
of being placed upon the wrapper, they appeared on the
inside, and the defendant refused t the

1 throat cut quietly and like a Christian ; and, se-
condly, if-he is requested by his driver to go in a
particular direction, he makes a point of turning tail
and bolting off like a shot just the clean contrary way.
We once had the rare luck to see a large party of
pigs embarked on board ship ; it was a perilous
undertaking, and the only way it was accomplished
was by .the drivers catching hold of the refractory
swine by the tails and pulling them away
from the vessel. The obstinate nature of the
animals was instantly roused into activity ;
and by way of showing that they had a will of their
own, and asserting the liberty of the subject, they
all at once rushed on board with as much fury as
they did in the days of old, when Satan, " with
seven others more wicked than himself," took pos-
session of their bodies, and forced them to throw a
summerset into the Lake of Gennezareth. The
" Gallery of Illustrious Characters" contains a pm.-
trait, accompanied with a memoir of Dean
Swift. The memoir is ably mitten, but it is
much too eulogistic. The writer insists warmly
on the Dean's friendly and affectionate nature, in
proof of which he adduces the fact that after the
quarrel between Bolingbroke and Harley, Swift re-
sisted all the splendid offers of the former Minister,
in order to visit and console the latter in his dis-
grace. This seems plausible enough ; but how
stand the facts ? 'At the time when Bolingbroke
iriade these tempting offers of advancement, the
Queen was on her bed of death, and, the instant
she died, Swift well knew the Tory party
would •be scattered to the winds. 'What
sacrifice was there then of self interest to
friendship under circumstances like these ? His
power would have been but for a week or two ;
but had it been otherwise—could he have foreseen
a chance of Anne's recovery, and Bolingbroke's
consequent continuance in office, Swift was not the
man to have made a sacrifice of his interests on the
altar of feeling, His conuuct therefore to Harley after
his fall—knowing, as he well did, that Bolingbroke
must soon fall too—we look on as a mere flash in the
pan. The Dean had many worldly acquaintances ;
but he never had a friend. His nature was repel-
lant, not conciliatory ; he put faith in no one—not
even in Dr. Sheridan, whom he professed so much
to love ; and even his humour, which in most peo-
ple is accompanied by something like bonhommie
and cordiality of temperament, was in him the
mere cold humour of a shrewd and alert under-
standing. The writer observes that Court intrigues
deprived Swift of a bishopric. They did so, and
the chief agent in the affair was Arch-
bishop Sharpe, who himself took the " Tale of a
Tub' to Queen Anne, and impressed on her the
flagrant impropriety of making the author of such
a work a Bishop, though he afterwards regretted
the share he had taken in the intrigue. The writer
does not seem to be aware of these facts, but he will
find them alluded to in Hawkesworth's tame, com-
mon-place Memoir of Swift. Of the remaining ar-
ticles in the Number there are none that call for any
particular notice.

TIME.

Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the
New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a
-man of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with-
out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three
barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons
of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument.
The number of seconds required with one pump less than
with the other, will be its gain in time and labour.
The competitors should find the pumps and the public the
p►pes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew
as much about raising water as sucking monkeys.
Well, after all the stupid,' lying, and even destructive oppo-
sition (Newmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun-
tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the
delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering
of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute.
And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc-
cess of an invention of boundless and undying utility, which
nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifying

LONIYJN:
MAY 1, 1840.

The Lord,

The Marquis of WESTMEATH referred to the
agitation which is now getting up in Ireland, and
catechised Viscount MELBOURNE on the subject.
The Noble Viscount replied very calmly, that
agitation in Ireland was nothing new, that he dis-
approved of all such agitation, and there existed no
confederation between him and Mr. OCoNNELL
such as the Noble Marquis had described.
The Noble Marquis referred to the newspapers
for his proofs, but was told by Lord HOLLAND
that such a course was irregular.
In answer to Lord STRANGFORD, Viscount
MELBOURNE stated that no communication had
been received from France, announcing an intention
of sending a considerable military force to Buenos
Ayres.

1, Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions from
Sheffield, signed by 10,864 persons, each of whom
stated his employment and address; from Brad-
ford, signed by between 7,000 and 8,000 ; and
about sixty petitions from various parts of England
and Scotland. The Noble Earl addressed a few
emphatic words to the Peers, and described the
Corn-laws as a law to limit the population of the
Uryted Kingdom by limiting the quantity of food.
We, however, stick to Mr. BA RING'S description as
preferable—the law "cuts down the population ;"
and we earnestly beg Lord ASHBURTON, the next
time he speaks on the subject, to show that he did
not, in using that language, prove that he and his
Pro-Corn-law supporters do not now murder the
people, or cut down the ropulation.

The Marquis of NORMANBY laid on the Table
some Papers concerning the New Poor-law, which
the Duke of WELLINGTON had asked for, but

• _
.he Noble Duke did not wish to have them printed.

COMMON INFORMERS.

Mr. HUMPHREYS gave notice of a motion, " That
the Court petition both Houses of Parliament, pray-
ing that the law be so amended, and that the same
powers of mitigation and relief may be given to Justices
of the Peace for the City of London, in cases of sum-
mary conviction, as are given to the Magistrates of the
Metropolitan Police Court, and also that the law, as re-
gards the proceedings by information before Magistrates
and Justices of the Peace for the City of London, and
all other parts of the United Kingdom, may be so
amended, as that common informers may be henceforth

Sir PETER LAURIE gave notice of a motion that it
be referred to the Committee of City Lands to con-
sider the best means of erecting some memorial of the
site of the Boar's Head Tavern, in Eastcheap, the
scene of Prince Henry and Falstaff's revels, the old
stone effigy having been taken down in the progress of
the recent improvements, and not replaced, to the
great regret of the admirers of Shakspeare.

for the cultivation of melody and ballad composition, held

CHANCERY COURT—(rffis DAY.)

.E6D' • -----

PI.SYFAIR V, THE LOND'3N AND 13IRMINGHAM RAILWAY

COMPAN
The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morn-
ing w lib the further arguments in this partaheard case,
which came before the Court upon an appeal motion from
the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor refusing to dissolve
an injunction, restraining the defendants from proceeding
at law to enforce the plaintiff to pay his calls upon 100
sharer, which the defendants contended he had purchased.
h appeared that when first the undertaking of the London
and Birmingham Railway was projected, the plaintiff, as
he alleged, had put down his name for 100 shares, in
order .to induce others to adopt a similar course,
and thereby obtain a suffi,ient number of subscribers to
comply with the Standing Oiders of the House of Lords.
The plaintiff asserted that he did this upon the under-
standing that he was to be at liba.ty to relinquish them,
and that it was not to be looked upon in the light of a
contract. The Company contended that the purchase was
a binding one upon the plaintiff, and had brought an action
against him to recover the calls. Upon the action being
brought, the plaintiff applied for and obtained an Injunc-
tion, restricting the proceedings in that action, and his
Honour, the Vice- Chancellor, dismissed the motion for
dissolving that injunction, and from that order the present
appeal was brought.
Mr. Wigram, Mr. Richards, and Mr. L. Wigram ap-
peared on behalf' of the Company ; and Mr. Jacob and Mr.
Bethell were in support of the Vice-Chancellor's order.
The case was proceeding when our Reporter left.

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The further arguments in the part-heard case of John-

V ICE-C HAIN CELLOWS COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

Monhts U. hiA~—IvtLNCTIOa.
Mr. RICHARDS applied in this case exparte for a special
injunction to r Strdill the defendant Ilyan from drawing,
accepting, and negotiating any bills of exchange lit the
name of or on behalf of the Middleton Hill Mining Corn-
pany, and also from colleetintt in any of the partner-
ship +debts• ACeordirg to the statethent of the affida-
vit of the plaintiff, the following were the c'reum-
stances under whieh the gliplitatioti Was made :
In 1837 the plaintiff and defendant entered into partner-
ship for the purpose of workin:z certain mines in the
county of Montgomery. called the Middleton Hill Mines.
Each party were to find capital on equal shares, and the pro-
fits were to be equally divided. The plaintiff had hitherto
advanced the whole of the money for carrying on the con-
cern, which had turned out to be a most unprofitable one.
in March of the present year the plaintiff proposed to give
it up, agreeing to refer all matters in dispute to an arbi-
trator. An agreement was drawn up for this purpose,
which the defendant had refused to sign, and the plaintiff
being informed that he was drawing bills in the name of
the partnership, and not being able to discover where he
resided, was compelled to make the present application to
the Court.

The VICE- CHANCELLOR granted the injunction, observing
that the Middleton Hill mines appeared doomed to be un-
fortunate.

IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR.
Our readers will recollect that some time since this case
came before the Court upon the petition of Mrs. Taylor,
the lady or an extensive brewer in the neighbourhood of
the metropolis, praying to have access tp her children. The
petition had been ordered to stand over from time to time,
and upon the last application, Mr. Taylor being abroad
with the children, it was ordered that he should answer the
affidavit that had been then filed by Mrs. Taylor by
this day.

Mr. JACOB, at the sitting of the Court to-day, applied
for two months' further time to answer the affidavits made
on behalf of Mrs. Taylor, on account of their great length.
Mr. K. BRUCE opposed the application, observing that
if it was granted Mrs. Taylor might as well have her pe-
tition dismissed, as it would have the effect, Mr. Taylor
and the children being at Bordeaux, of probably throw-
ing the petition over the long vacation, and thereby deny-
ing her that justice which every other subject of the coun-
try could obtain at the hands of the Court.
The VICE- CHANcau.oft did no:, see how he could refuse
the application for further time, considering the length of
tho affidavits. As it would be desirable that the petition
should be heard after the term, he should direct that the
affidavits now filed should be answered on or before the
17th of June, the petition to stand over for hearing on
the day after the last day of Trinity Term.
The COURT then proceeded to hear short causes:and un-
opposed petitions.

CAMB---
ID G E ELLCTiON.•

Thursd-y evening, April 30,, 1840.
A very large meeting of the Reforniets of Cam.lbridge,
assembled -his evening at the Hoop Hotel, for the purpose
of selecting a gentleman to stand as a Candid, ate to
rcpr:sent their interests in Parliament. Most rif the
influential Liberals were present. After severs 1 ex-
cellent speeches were given, deprecatory of the con& act of
the 'Polies, in attaching a stigma upon the charact. tr of
the town, by gross bribery, and resorting to the vile prac-
tice of corruptin,r; the lower order of voters by prof uzely
treating them with ale and spirits,
Mr. GUNNING rose and proposed the following reset-
tion
" That Thomas Milner Gibson, EN., having been
mainly instrumental in exposing the bribery carried r )n at
the la.,t election, be requested to offer himself as a ciii idi-
date to represent their Reform interest in Parliament; and
that a requisition be presented to him as early as possibi ie."
The Res.dution ws re c-ived by th,,, unanimous che, 'r-
ing of nearly seven hundred persons, and subsequen,, •ly
hundreds of voters signed the requisition.
The Tories are now fearful that no one will have th, e
hardihood to come forward in their cause. Mr. Wigrana
hss declined the honour; probabiy he recollects how
Mr. Knight and Sir Edward Surrilen fell dupes to their 11
treachery. They have since made application to Mr.
Gladstone, broth, r to the M. tuber for Newark, but with
a hat success we are unabl, to say.
The election, it appears, is deterred for some %eas ; in
the interim the Reran,' ers will be actively r ngaged in se.

EFFECT.

At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam
power, the rolling principle beat the eliding principle, upon an
average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30,
45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
sea, certify similar results.
But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to
perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pump in pre-
ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense,
pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with-
out friction,
Therefore, let us at once corn. to deeds to try the spies-,
Lion, and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough.'

CASES SUFFICIENT.

Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,000/., have net cost
2/ per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them,
from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the
public roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth.
A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse
power), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet.
N.B. tis the packing that scrapes up the water in the old
Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up
the water in the New Pump that wears out.
Mark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same
work.

--
A Single-acting Fountain Puirn at Messrs. Horton's, dyers,
Norwich (manual power). Here the connectors of the New
Pump last four times as long as did the parking of the old
Pump it superseded.
A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers,
Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old
Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three
months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six-
teen months. This noble machine has nor cast Ss. a year for
connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im-
perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV-
ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.
The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in I 83S, be-
tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor
varied in effect.
The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with
them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of
them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty.

NEWS FROM EGYPT.

(From the Semaphore de Marseilles ) i
ALEXANDRIA, Ace. 17.—1 wrote to you yesterday
by the Levant steamer, a very long letter, in which I
recounted the events now passing in our city. I ac-
quainted you with the manner in which the Pacha re-
ceived the alleged Envoy of the Porte, Rifat Bey, who
is in reality the Envoy of tne Four Powers coalesced
against us. The Viceroy replied that he would hasten
to forward to the Sultan a lett, r in reply to the one he
had received from him, and then added, that he was de-
termined to reject all propositions of adj•istment, be-'
cause they were inspired by the interested hatred which
Russia and England nurtured against him.
This communication was tm.de to Mehemet Ali in
the feel owing manner :
The Consuls representing England, Russia, Austria,
and Prussia, attired in their richest costumes and pre-
ceded and followed by a numerous cortege, waited on
the Pacha to apprise him of the wishes o (their respec-
tive Courts. The latter, they said, enjoined them to
demand the immediate submission of the Pacha to the
order of his Sovereign the Sultan. Th klow is d
the
speech :—" Your Highne
