METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the
CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRHCEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure cf
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 neees-
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.

KENTISH HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—A few days since what is generally
termed in the hop districts " a few fly" were seen in some
of the grounds of this neighbourhood, and as many as
three might, in some instances, be counted upon a leaf.
During the last two days, however, these have nearly all
disappeared, ar.d there is now scarcely a fly to be seen.
The bine is progressing with unabated vigour, and in some
instances has been known to grow a foot in twenty-four
hours. Mr. Corrall's celebrated ground, the " flower of
Kent," has a most luxuriant appearacce. A labourer who
has known the ground for sixty years past, declares he
never knew it to grow so fast, or to have looked so well, as
within the last fortnight. Generally speaking, this is the
character of all the grounds in this neighbourhood, al-
though we have heard of one instance in which the planter,
finding his bines infested with the floss, had them all cut
off. Even in this case, however, the new shoots are fast
growing to the poles.
WATERINGIWRY.—The hops still continue to flourish,
and the rain appears to have given a greater impulse to,
their gioyeth. There is some fly in many of the grounds,
and their number appears to increase, as is generally the
case in damp weather.
BRESCHLEY. —The hops continue to flourish and appear
to be doing well. There is great talk of fly ;
some say
they have seen ten on a leaf, but our correspondent has
not seen so many. As many as seven may be found, but
not generally. The late showers have been very beneficial
to the hop grounds, and render a very favourable oppor-
tunity of chopping round the hills, which appears to be
very generally taken advantage of by the farmers.
TICEUCRST ---,The hop plantations in this and the ad-
Joining parishes still continue to make rapid progress in
furnishing the poles, excepting some old grounds, which
are rather baeltv..ard ; but we have neither flea nor fly of
any consequence.
GOUDIIURST, LLMBETUIDUST, HEADCOItN, AND ST:ME-
M:EST.—The bine cannot appear more flourishing. We
have had some fine showers, which have caused hops and
other Vegetables v:ry materially to improve.
CRANBSOOK. —The hop bine in this neighbourhood is
looking very healthy, but we have a few fly.

T,ADY MORGAN'S NEW WORK,
" WOMAN AND HER MASTER."
" Waiving the question as to the equality of woman with man,
we turn to the eloquent, entertaining, and instructive work
which has here arisen out of it, with feelings of unmingled ad-
miration. The actual condition of woman in all the past states
and stages of human society, and the results of that condition
on the actual and progressive character of that society in each
separate case—these are the leading features of Lady Morgan's
investigation, and she has pursued them with a critical sects-
men, in a spirit of philosophical inquiry, and always with a
fervour and force of eloquence, which might alone suffice to set
at rest the question."—New Monthly.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOA N and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 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 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.

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

MONDAY, MAY 25.

The only matter of importance on Monday was the
charge of heresy against Mr. Wright of Borthwick.
After a discussion of some length, the Assembly found
the libel relevant, and referred back the case to the
Presbytery, with instructions to hear him in his de-
fence, and if necessary go to proof, and report to the
next Assembly. Yesterday the great question came on,
the appeal of the ministers of Stratbbogie against the
legality of the sentence of suspension pronounced by the
Commission. Mr. Patrick Robertson was heard for
ministers, and made a powerful speech. He was fol-
lowed by Dr. Cook, the greatest living authority in
the Kirk on constitutional questions, who contended
that the Commission had exceeded its powers, and
moved that its decision be reversed and rescinded. A
counter motion was made by the Procurator, declaring
that the Commission had not acted ultra vices, and dis-
missing the appeal. After a long debate, the latter
motion was carried by 217 to 14;3. Tne question, it will
be observed, was entirely as to the powers of the COM-
mission, rii'::ewnielax
what shall

ministers. The discussion on this point is delayed till

the whole of the west coast of South America, extending from
Chile to Panama. They will be the means of establishing a
settled communication between the various ports in the Pacific,

Mail Steam-packet Company arc in operation in the Atlantic,
the grand chain of communication by steam between the whole
of that rich coast and this country will be complete.

moral and social treatment of the patients, which is here carried

Even beyond what was ever anticipated.

This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and
twenty miles round. The principle is a new section of the
cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain, at an angle of
63 degrees 26 minutes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a second,
which causes the diagonal joining of the obtuse angles of the
two parallelopides to fall in a perpendicular straight line, which
laid down obliquely gives to a surface, perpetually even, all the
strength of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001.
The profits of the Company will be derived from the original
laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
yielding 150,000/, profit—and also from keeping their pave-
ment in repair, which on a moderae calculation will amount
to 60,000/. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of
one-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre-
sent orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001. 'Ne-

CONVERSION OF THE JEWS.

Mr. CANDLISII having read the report of the As.
sembly's Committee on this subject,
Mr. DUNLOP suggested, that as several members of
the recent deputation to Palestine were present, it would
be highly agreeable if these Reverend Gentlemen would
address the House.

Dr. KEITH and Mr. M.CIiEvNE then severally de-
livered eloquent addresses, upon the condition of the
scattered tribes of Israel which had come under their
observation in Palestine and other parts of the east,
visited by the deputation. They pointed out what they
considered the most suitable places for missionary
labours ; and remarked that Mehemet Ali, as had been
stated by Dr. Bryce, had promised to permit the
Jews, in any numbers, to return to the land of
their fathers, and, if able to do so, to purchase pro-
perty there, assuring them of the same protection
mt-un liberty as that enjoyed lay his Matiomeian subjects.
Whatever weight might be given to the word of this
remarkable man, Mr. M'Cleeyne said the fact was cer-
tain, that thoughout the con ntries over which he ruled,
Christian Missionaries had received hitherto full pro-
tection and liberty to prosecute their labours. Judea,
notwitstanding that their t ribes were scattered over
every country, was still considered the centre of the
Jewish world, and the deputation considered that to be
the most eligible quarter whe ron to plant Missionary
stations. They therefore proposed to have three stations
in that district, and also to have one in the Grand
Duchy of Posen, one at Syrnzna, and one at Constan-
tinople. 1111. M'Cheyne then proceeded to point out
what they considered to be the best mode of Missionary
operations, recommending especially that they
,should,
after the example of the Lord and his Apostles, be
sent out two and two together ; and next, as far as
possible to teach the Hebrew children to reach
the word of God and understand it, when, this
being done, they anticipate that the doctrines of the
Talmud would be instantly repudiated, and Judaism
fall to the ground. Each of the Rev. Gentlemen con-
cluded his address by an eloquent appeal to the reli-
gious feel ngs and sympathies of the Church on behalf of
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mr. BUCHAN of Kelloe, seconded by Mr. ROBERT-
sor; of Ellon, moved that the Assembly approve of the
report, and return its thanks to the Rev. Gentlemen who
had addressed the House, which was unanimously
agreed to, and the thanks communicated to the Depu-
tation by the Moderator.
On the recommendation of Mr. CANDLISH, the As-
sembly also resolved to memorialize her Majesty's Go-
vernment to interfere on behalf of the persecuted Jews
of Damascus,
The Assembly adjourned at five o'clock till twelve
o'clock next day.

EGYPT AND ASSYRIA.

Mr. FECTOR asked if there was any hope of Dr.
Bowrintes.: Report relative to Egypt and Assyria being
laid on the table of the House,, and in an unmutilated
state.—( Laughter, and hear.) .
Lord PALMERSTON said he could §0 far console
the Honourable Member as to state that the Report
had been returned to Dr. Bowring for the purpose
of his superintending the printing of it. Ile. (Lord
Palmerston) had, however, been compelled to strike
out some short passages in the Report, containing poli-
tica! speculations of the Author, considering that if the
Doctor wished to write a pamphlet about his own opinions
upon political matters he ought not to do it at the public
expense.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The report,
however, would contain every
.informationpf a commer-
cial nature.

NAPLES.
Major CUMMING BRUCE begged to ask the
.Nob:e Secretary .for Foreign Affairs whether he could
give any information to the House in regard to the
obstructions alleged to have been thrown in the way of
the Protestant worship on the part of .the British resi-
dents at Naples.
Lord PALMERSTON said difficulties had arisen
in consequence of the strict laws of Naples forbidding
any other than
.Catholic public worship in that country.
For.a long course Of time the Consul-General devoted
an apartment in his House for, he worship of the British
residents ; and when the offiCe of Consul-General was.
abolished, and a Consul, with a reduced salary, was ap-
pointed, similar accommodation was still furnished in the
Consul's house. At last, however, the number of the
British residents increased so much, that a new building
was required. The consent of the Neapolitan Govern-
ment was at first obtained for its erection, but,
acted upon by other influences, after, the first
stone had been laid, that consent was retracted. Some
of the British residents still endeavoured to procure a.,
room to be fitted up as a chapel, hut even this the.
Neapolitan Government interfered to prevent..--Ineg.
otiai•
tions had been for some timeon with
regard to a commercial 'wnia, however,
had . been broken of ny the sulphur 'question.
He hoped thei wirfat soon come to some arrangement
with the NitP.politzul Government on the subject of
freedom of feligious worship for the British residents
at Noisiec and the removal of the grievances of which
the tion, Gentleman complained.
TRANSPORTATION.
Lord MAHON wiShed to ask the Noble Lord
the Secretary for the ColOnies, if he *mild have any

Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not object to its
.production if the Noble Lord.' would' move for it.
On the motion of Lord MAHON an address to her
Majesty, praying that she would-be graciously pleased to
order the copy of the said Order in Council to be laid
before that House, was agreed to:

DISPUTED COMNIIasIoNS.

The Assembly took up the Report of the Committee
on disputed commissions. After disposing of several
cases they carne to that of Dr. Bryce, who had been
appointed to represent the burgh of Inverury. Tee ob-
jection to the commission was, that according to the
Act passed in 1839, excluding retired ministers from
sitting in the Assembly as ruling elders, unless " Teachers
or Professors of Theology," or bona fide acting elders,
Dr. Bryce could net sit in the Assembly as ruling
elder, he not being a teaching elder. The Committee
recommended that the commission be sustained, and
after a good deal of discussion, it was ultimately agreed
to sustain the commission, with the understanding that
in future cases the Act of 1839 wes to apply to the ex-
clusion of retired ministers who were not acting elders,
or Professors of Theology.
Benoit Or DUNDEE.—The commissio❑ of Mr. Blair,
as representative for this burgh, was rejected for infor-
mality in the election.
UNIVERSITY or GLASGOW.—The election of Dr.
Fleming as representative to this University was oh-
jccted to, on the ground that there was not a legal 1
quorum of the Senatus present, and that the minute of
meeting of the Ist of May, the day on which the elec-
tion was alleged to have taken place, bears no not;ee
of that fact. Dr. Cook and Dr. Cooper, members of
the Senatus Academicus, who were not present on the
day of election, brought these objections before the As-
sembly, and its Committee, after considering them, re-
solved by a majority to receive the Commission.
After some discussion, the Assembly resolved (99
to 78) that the matter be remitted to their Commlttee
to take evidence and report.
Button or LEITIL—The Committee recommended
that the Commission from the Burgh be rejected,
which was agreed to without discussion.
The consideration of the Strathbogie Commission was
postponed till Monday.
The Ass( mbly then, at half-past ten o'clock, ad-
journed till eleven o'clock on Monday.

BENEVOLENT FIRE and LIFE IN-
SURANCE, and NATIONAL BENEFIT SO-
CIETY, 351, Strand.
Capital, 250,0001.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, iii addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea.thy, viz. :-
Ist. Insuris.g their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Chilcire,;,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effects d
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on appl;cation at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.
