Nicoll's original Paletot ; that is to say, as it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, professional men sus all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessety seams, thus securing 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 ting which is patented. In London the NEW REGISTERED PAL F.TOT can alone be had of ti.J. and D. NICOLL, 111, 116, 118, 120, Regent street, and 22, Combat.

The garment is altogether most convenient and graceful in appearance, and can in London alone be had of H. J. and 1). NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, and 120, REGENT STREET; and 22, CORN HILL.

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 a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear or fur covenng full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Itoquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer 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•sl , and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume Its ()tights). shape. The materials chiefly used for travelling are the soft neutnlcoloured 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 Mhhanique 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 in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames I Chars!, partially composed of Chamois. As no meastire is required, the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and la thus well adapted for a gift. H.J. and D. NICOLA•, Warwick House, 142 and 114, Regent atreet,London. CAUTION. TN 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 : if the garment is dark cobured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-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 beat materials. It. J. and 1). Nicoll bays 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 manner as may be calculated to mislead.
