NICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured such general popu larity to Messrs. Nicoll's original Paletot ; that is to say, as it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, professional men ana all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, thus seeurtng a more graceful outline and great saving in wear; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly-stitched binding, the mode of effe ring which is patented. In London the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be bed of N.J. and D. NICOLL, 111, 116, ;Id, 120, Regent street, and Cornbill. A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTR, &e. IT J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an Out .l aide Coat the Havelock and Patent Cape Paletot, and for oruinary use the Cape Suit, such being well adapted for Young Gentlemen, on account of exhibiting considerable economy with general excellenc... Gentlemen at Eton, Hai row, Winchester, the Military and Naval Schools, waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR LADIES. VICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is • combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear or fur covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucane Flood. it is not cumbersome or heavy, and measu►es' trans twelve to sixteen yards round the onter edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made •e quickly to resume its original shape. The maim ials chiefly used for travelling are the soft neutral-coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured by this firm, but for the promenade other materials are provided. The price will be two guineas and • half for each Cloak ; but with the Mechanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more are charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for iu or out door use. These at all tines--like this Firm's Riding Habit—are i❑ good taste and flt well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames i Cheval, partially compo.nsd of Chamois. As no measnre is required, the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. H.J. and D. NICOLL., Warwick ifouse,fl42 and 144, Regent street ,London. NT,ICOLL'S PATENT CAPE PALETOT II offers the following desideratum : the Cape descends from the front part of the shoulders and forms a species of sleeve tor each arm, both ftre at perfect freedom, having to pass through enlarged apertures in the side or body of the Paletot these apertures, however, are duly covered by the C ape, which does not appear at the back part of the Paletot, but only in the front, and thus serves to form hanging sleeves, at the same time con cealing the hands when placed in the pockets. The garment is altogether no.st convenient and graceful In appearance, and can in London alone be bad of H. J. sod D. NICOLL, 114, 118, 118, and 120, REGENT STREET; and 23, CORNHILT. CAUTION. -;.~ IN consequence of many impudent attempts to deceive the public, it is necessary to state that all Messrs. Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud, and may be thus detected : it the garment is dark colsured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in goid•coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials. K. J. and D. Nicoll have recognised agents in various parts of the United Kingdom and Colonies, and any information for- warded through them will be thankfully acknowledged or paid for, so that the same may lead to the prosecuti-n of any person copying their trade mark, or making an unfair use of their name; that is to say, in such a wanner as may be calculated to mislead.
