METROPOLITAN PATENT WOOD-
PAVEMENT COMPANY.
MEETING AT LIVERPOOL.
At 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 Commissioners of Highways for Li-
verpool, Toxteth-park, &c., and the Surveyors for those places,
and for the Townships of West Derby, Everton, &c.
Jonw HOLMES, Esq., Chairman of the Highway Board for
Liverpool, in the Chair.
Mr. J. Lee Stevens, of London, produced models, rnd 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 HOPE, Esq., seconded by WIL-
LIAM 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 for his explanation and inform-
, Lion on the sul,ject. JOHN HOLMES, Chairman.
The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Chairman
for his courteous and efficient conduot in the Chair.
Extracts from the subsequent notices of the Liverpool papers.
LIVERPOOL MERCURY.-We should be glad to see
Liv.erpool participate in the common benefit of using the plan,
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 purpose of paving ;
that it forms a most durable, and consequently, economical
substitute for all other material-that it prevents any accumu-
lation of dust, or mud, or annoyance from noise-and that,
besides favouring the passing of every sort of vehicle, so much
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 S'Metropolitan Patent Wood-Pavement
Company, gives the utmost satisfaction both to Government
SIM to the public, and that great pecuniary advantages justly
ackrue to the spirited adopters of the invention. We should
eertssinly like to see it tested in our streets. Exchange-street
East, for heavy vehicles, and Church-street for lighter car-
ages, would perhaps be the best spots that could be selected.
GOH.f.'S ADVERTISER.-It was stated at the Meeting
Int 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-
ested 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
ruattcr for consideration that these prices may be modified
"these pavement is laid cheaper than in London.
Models and Reports on the merits of the invention by Sur-
veyors anil other competent authorities may be seen at the
2ffices of 6, e Metropolitan Patent-Wood Pavement Company,
110. 20, John street, Adelphi, London, where, or at the Soli-
citors, Messrs. Hodgson and Burton, 10, Salisbury-street,
Strand, prospectnoes may be obtained, and applications for
Shares should be immediately addressed.

CAUTION.
It having been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that
ereral isorsons are vending a spurious metal as their NICKEL
PRITISH PATE, they assure the Public that
Ilate Genuine Article can only be had at their Warehouses, 12,
Wells-street, Oxford-street. The Nickel Silver British Plate
Altinifactured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process,
"ens'ered superior to any other so called, in appearance and
ileraNlity ; it is equal to silver ; all the articles being solid and
wt ought material, they improve with use, and are war-
"kited to stand the test of that strong acid aquafortis. The

• PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
EGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
MC•HEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
orning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to coninement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
trema nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
reeent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Ga aorrhcea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
les t, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in-
ns ed to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will he
threir future exertion to maintain.

Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with until
recovered.,
