TE Patronagd this Institution has received, for I
1 the exclusive treatment aid Cute of both Sexes, afflicted
with Venereal Complaints, and their dreadful consequences, is
strictures, debility, ulcerationS, &c. cenducted under the se-
nagemeat of the first professional abilities, will satisfy the Pub- I
lic of the high merits of Mr. KIERNAN'S phut, and that by it
the inconveniences of Public Charities are avoided, whilst the
young and unwary are protected against the fatal delusions held
out by advertising pretenders in this broach of practice. Since

« nstitution, and vl ith a delicacy and secrecy hitherto unknown ;
many of those have laboured under the most complicated forms
of the disease from ten to twenty years. The first symptoms
yield to Mr. Kiernan's treatment in a few days; and where
appearance of debility comes on, too early application cannot

In a Commitree on the Gaol Fees Abolition Bill,
some conversation arose, in which Mr. BENNETT
in answer to a question from Sir J. Shaw, stated it
to be his intention to move for a Committee to en-
quire into the prisons exempted .from the present
Bill ; hut could not pledge himself to introduce any
Bill on the subject.
Alderman ATKINS thought, that if the Kings
Bench, Marshalsea, and Fleet, were exempted, the
burthen on the City for its prisons should be borne on
the Consolidated Fund. If the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would agree to that, he should make no
objection, as it was too much to throw it upon the
citizens of London.

Mr. HOLFORD said, that the Gaol Fees as taken
in the London prisons, was the only instance of the
kind, and a great abuse. The present Bill extended
to all county prisons, but not to the prisons of the
Courts.

Sr C. MONCK wished to know whether the City
was bound to maintain the gaols?
Sir J. SHAW .gave great credit to the principles of
the-Bill. The City did not desire exemptions from
public burthens ; bat objected to the exemption of
the three large prisons for debtors, the effect of
width on them would be, that many persons arrested
in London or the country, to gain the benefit of
Recleadate's Act, mould-be-fizod on theet.-11
'this Bill was good generally, why not so, as reepect-
ed those three great prisons? On what principle
could they be excepted? Why should not the benefit
of these wise alterations be generally extended ?
He hoped the Hon. Member would reconsider this
subject.
Mr. HOLFORD observed, that a Committee of
Enquiry would be the best proceeding.
Mr. LOCKHART and Mr. WROTTESLEY said
a few words.

Mr. BENNETT explained, and the Bill went
through the Committee.—The Report to be received
to-morrow.

Papers relative to grants of pensions, and to the
East India Docks, were presented from the East In-
dia Company.

NEW POST-OFFICE._

A plan and estimate of the New Post-Office was
presented.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
suggested a Select Committee as the best mode of in-
vestigating this subject.
Mr. PONSONBY enquired, whether steps had
been taken to ascertain the expence of making the
present office sufficiently commodious.
Mr. BARING said a few words as to the espences
of the two plans.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, it appeared that the difference of the expence
would bkabout 60,0001.
After a few words from Mr. H. SUMNER and Mr.
PONSON BY,
Mr. LONG stated that it was the opinion of the
Committee that no addition could be made to the
i present office so as to render it commodious : they
came to a Resolution to that effect. Further investi-
I gation was now intended.
Mr. PONSONBY said, that if the Resolution
had any meaning, he supposed it to be, that the
present site of the office was such as to be incon-
' venient.
Mr. LONG said,that was not the opinion : but that
the buildings as they stood were incapable of being
rendered commodious.
Mr. BARING doubted the Resolution ; and Mr.
LONG said, if he referred to the Report, he would
find it.
The SPEAKER observed, that there was, no clues.
lion before the House.
1 The Freehold Estates' Bill was read a third time,
and passed.
