THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT f.oni the Second Edition (page led) of the Translation of the Pharmacopceia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by Dr.G. F. Coilier, puolisbesi by Longman and Co. :—" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopoeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet are know that hemorrhoidal persons catnot bear aloes, except it be in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consist of aloes, ecammony. and col.cynth, which I think are formed Into • sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I suspect., by an alkaline proce ! 3s, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse of it fur its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not 'emanate to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom : a mus cular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge com bined, and their effects properly controlled by a di , agent and corrigent. That it does not commonly produce haemorrhoids like most aloetie pills, I attribute to its being thotoughly so. luable, so that n tuitlissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane."

It is hoped that the proposed services in commemoration of this great event will in many churches be followed by a collo°. tlon. and it has been suggested to the Committee of the Society for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, by one of the London clergy, that on such an occasion no object for which those collections might be made could be more appropriate than the extension to Ireland of the blessings of the English Reforma tion. The COMMITTEE of the IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS would earnestly appeal to the Clergy to take the opportunity of mating a SPECIAL COLLECTION in AID of the SOCIETY, as the exhaustion of its Funds threatens to curtail the great work in which it has been so long and successfully engaged.

MICOLUS NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured such general popu• laxity to Messrs. Nicoll's original Paietot ; that is to say, nit avoid■ giving to the wearer an outré appearance, professiooll men ana all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecesmy seams, thus securing a more graceful outline and great saving in wear; the latter advantage as considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly-stitched binding, the mole of effecting which is patented. In London the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can aloud be bad of H.J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 190, Regent. street, and U, Cornhill A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, tc. J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an Wi ll side Coat the Havelock and Patent Cape Paletot, sad for ordinary use the Cape Suit, such being well adapted for Young Gentlemen, on amount of exhibiting considerable economy w:th general excellence. Gentlemen at Eton, Harrow, 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, 114 and 144, Regent.street. FOR LADIRS. NICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelere, and has as elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the vuteretige, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer an instantly form semi sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used for travelling are the soft neutral-coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufsetured by this firm, but for the promenade other materials are promlet. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak; but with the Ma chanique and a lined Hood a few shillings wore are charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—hie th 3 Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames i Chool, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required, the the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. R.I. and D.

I N consequence of many impudent attempts to deceive the public, it is necessary to state that all Nssr!: Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade taw. consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen: to t o this is fraud, and may be thus detected : if the garment is dart. colsured, the label has black ground, with the tirMs na me cn I address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold•coloure d the garment is light coloured, the label has a pale drab grund. and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures , I" Axed moderate price, and is of the beat materials. H. J. and D. Nicoll have recognised agents in various parts the United Kingdom and Colonies , and any informatiou for: warded through them will be than k f u ll y acknowledged or rrE'i for, so that he same may lead to the prosecution of ally copyingtheir trade mark, or making a n unfsir n.e of t,r name; that is to say, in such a manner as ma y be ciacule mislead.
