A CHRISTMAS SKETCH I love to notice,, at a time like this, The bustle of the great metropolis A thousand indications meet the eye, As glad December's holiday draws nigh. A pleasing animation we may trace In every part of every market-place. Nor can we find a spot but what is rife With animal and vegetable life. In every branch of business we discern A token of the holiday's return: In poulterers' shops the birds of various feather In goodly groups are hung and packed together ; While butchers with their tempting fat supply Give double boldness to their "What d'ye buy ?" Grocers in " greens," and those in " green and black," Amid this stir are never found to lack. The stationers, as Christmas-time draws nigh, New books display, attra.dive to the eye ; And every railway station is a scene, Which proves that Christmas soon will Intervene. " What next," cry Messrs. MOSES, " will you thus Conclude your sketch, without a word for US." Nay, Messrs. MOSES, don't imagine that! 'Tis you alone that I've been aiming at. At such a time as this, I can't go less, Than eulogise your matchless CHRISTMAS DRESS. MOSES and SON, believe me, when I say, I highly value your superb display. You seem determined, with your rare attire, e To pay due honour to the " good old sire." Such Trousers, Coats, and Vests, I never saw I I cease to wonder at the crowds you draw. Yours is the 'Warehouse, I am sure of that, At which to buy a splendid CHRISTMAS MAT. MOSES and SON, I must confess I wonder, Such Hats are sold at prices so much under. You seem resolved that we shall never lose In Christmas Hats, or CHRISTMAS BOOTS AND SHOES. My last new Wellingtons I bought of you, And better Boots I never wish to view; Stylish, and firm in make, and soft to touch, I must confess that I admire them much ; Nor do I, MOSES, feel the least demur, In complimenting thus your CHRISTMAS FUR. Well may the ladies to your Warehouse flock, And make selections front your varied stock ; And well may judging buyers daily see The value of your CHRISTMAS HOSIERY. I trust that Christmas, Eighteen Fertyeight Will make the number of your patrons great ; For in the quality of your display, And hi your moderate price, you seem to say— " All may be well prepared for Christmas Day."

A M One half the world are desolately single, and the other , opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em eitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tm comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

THE NEW POSTAL CONVENTION The new postal convention between England and the United States was signed at the Foreign-office by Lord Palmerston and Mr. Bancroft, the American Minister, on Friday, and was sent off to America by the mail the same evening for the ratification of the President and Senate of the United States. As this final form, however, is not at all doubtful, all the de tails having been settled carefully by the authorities on both sides of the Atlantic, we have much pleasure in stating that arrangements have been mutually agreed upon to bring the provisions of the treaty into immediate operation. One of the articles provides for the ratification within three months, and its adoption as soon afterwards as possible ; but the interests of commerce, and the great and still increasing import. ance of the communication between the two States rendered it expedient tor tt cn u t ut ai agreement. to ha entered into for carrying out at once the provisions to facilitate the frequent intercourse between the two countries. It is generally known that when the re gular mails were established by steamers between Liverpool and New York by the British Government, a uniform rate of postage on letters, amounting to ls. a letter, was charged by our Post-office, and payable in advance, the Americans not having then any steamers on the station. Finding the corre spondence, as well as passengers, by the English steamers constantly on the increase, the Americans commenced the establishment of a steam-packet station on their own account; and as they could not, from the inadequacy of the accommodation which as yet they have been able to supply, have been fairly admitted to an equal participation in the receipts from the sea postage of letters, they placed an additional rate of postage on letters arriving from England in America, an example which we were obliged to fol low by charging an additional rate upon letters ar riving by American ships. The much greater ex pense was incurred by us, and the much larger accommodation furnished ; and it could not have been expected that we should, therefore, give to others an equal participation in the profits arising from our capital, expenditure, and punctuality. The system of double charges, however, has operated most in juriously, and it is to correct the evils thus produced that the convention of the 16th December, 1848, has been agreed upon. The immediate effect of this treaty will be to reduce the postage rate from any part of Great Britain to any part of the United States of America to ls. for each single letter instead of 2s.—to which charge every letter was at least subject by the late practice. The Is. rate to which each single letter is to be subjected is to be made up in the following manner :—lid. for the inland rate of letters leaving the United Kingdom, Bd. for the sea rate, and 2kd. (five cents) for the delivery in any part of the United States. The same with letters coming from any part of the United States-2id. for inland rate, 6d. for sea rate, and lid. for delivery in any part of Great Britain. The inland rate for letters from one part of the United States to another is five cents within a certain area, and ten cents for any greater distance. The lower rate has been fixed upon as a fair proportion, considering the greater average distances to be set off against our lid. inland rate. By the old practice, as the Americans im posed ls. on every letter leaving or arriving in the States, we were obliged to insist upon prepayment of all letters leaving Great Britain for America, as well as ls. on every letter received thence. By the new convention letters may or may not be prepaid. The Post-office departments of the two countries will keep accounts with each other, and will pay at stated times the several rates to which each will be respectively entitled. The inland rates will be paid, according to the proportion we have stated, on all let ters leaving or arriving at either country. The sea rate of Bd. "baiii6nl - 1 - rbee6he uy veyed. This latter arrangement is perfectly fair, and puts an end to all disputes, for each country will be paid according to the accommodation afforded. The Post-office authorities on both sides will, of course, issue the usual notices that they will send letters by their own ships, unless otherwise required by the writers. The main result of the new convention, therefore, will be to substitute in effect a charge of Is. in the whole for each letter, for which now at least 2s. is paid. It will also be a convenience to the public to have the option of prepaying their letter, or not, as they may choose. A more liberal arrangement still is provided for newspapers, which will be for warded to or from any place or places in the United Kingdom or the United States for ld. each, without any restriction as to the choice of conveyance; the rate to be payable to the country from which the newspaper is sent, and no accounts to be kept respecting them between the two Post-office -de partments. A somewhat similar provision is made respecting other periodicals, which are to be charged at the rate altogether of 2d. for everything under an ounce ; 6,1. for over one ounce and under two ounces ; Bd. for over two ounces and under three ; and 2d. for every ounce over. There is also a most important provision for the transit of closed mails through the territories of either country by the other. It is provided that the closed mails of the United Kingdom shall pass through the United States in charge of an officer of the United King dom to any part of the British dominions or posses sions,'or to any foreign country ; and, that in like man ner, the closed mails of the United States shall pass in charge of an officer of the United States through any part of the British dominions or possessions in North America, or to any foreign country. The only exception to this latter provision is in the case of France, in consequence of our convention with that country of the 3d of April, 1843, to the provi sions of which we have no right to introduce the affairs of another country. Both Great Britain and America bind themselves, however, to use their best offices to induce France to extend the provisions of that convention. Each party undertakes to forward the letters received from the other to their destina tion in other countries, subject to the expenses thereof, and the rates imposed by the country to which they are destined. An immunity of six weeks, in case of war, is granted to vessels employed in the mail ser vice between the two countries. The convention is necessarily made for an indefinite term, but not to be ended without a year's notice on either side.--- Observer. MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—At a very fully attended meeting of the Marylobone Vestry on Saturday last, Mr. Flood brought up and read the minute for confirm ing the contracts to be entered into with the Imperial and Chartered Gas Companies. Mr. J. Bell objected to the confirmation of the minute, because it appeared to him that th e I m p er i a l G as Company were n o t con tent with the clau s e i n the present contract, giving them power to refuse to enter into a contract for another three years in the event of the mains of another com pany being permitted to be laid down, but had given notice of their intention to have a clause in the con tract, giving them (the Imperial Company) power to refuse to light the parish the moment the mains of any other company were laid down. —Mr. H. C. Wilson explained that the proposed alteration in the contract by the Imperial Company did not apply to the contract for the ensuing three years, but was a sort of three years' notice that if the vestry allowed the mains of another company to be laid down and to compete with them, they could not enter into another contract on the same terms. This, he thought, an honourable, straightforward, and business-like course on the part of the Gas Company. Some little discussion ensued on this point, but ultimately Mr. Bell's motion was negatived, and the confirmation of the contract car ried almost unanimously. Sir P. Laurie then reported that at the quarterly general court of the magistrat es o f Middlesex, on Thursday last, there were thirty-six magistrates present in all, and out of that number only two voted for the proposal of Mr. Rotch and Mr. Arm strong to do away with the treadwheel at the House of Correction, these two being the mover and seconder. He,expressed his gratification at the defeat of the pro• posal, for, had it been carried, it would only have been I the commencement of the institution of workshop s , and I the ex. cution of other alterations in the Hou se of 'Cor rection at an enormous expense to the ratepayers. Thanks were voted to the magistrates who opposed the proposal in question, and the vestry separated. MR.

The following document has been issued by the Finan cial Reform Association. It respects the army, ord nance, commissiariat, navy, and colonies. SUBJECT—" CANADA CONTINUED." In resuming the investigation of the wasteful expen diture of the British revenue in North America, the Association proceeds to the commissariat department. In Bermuda, which was last referred to (being in the Parliamentary estimates treated as a part of North America), two assistant commissaries, two deputy-as sistant commissaries, and two comn4issariat clerks, re ceiving as salaries 1,2311. 17s. 6d., and the pay of the `• assistants, clerks, storekeeper, and other subordinate persons," who perform the actual duties, is 1,5681. 17s. 8(1., to which sums is to be added, for miscellaneous purchases, extra labour, and travelling expenses, 340/. Next, there are special allowances for commissariat officers, not ascertained as regards those in Bermuda. Next, for land and water transport, 301. Next, there is cost of provisions, 17,764/.; cost of forage for horses of staff officers, 5341.; cost of fuel and light, 1.6701.; one per cent. on the cost of supplies for probable losses, 2001. Deduct 10,4941, which is the amount of stoppages from the pay of military and other servants (not officers), for their provisions, and the real loss on provisions, fuel, and light, is to the public 9,674/. In Canada there are one commissary general, two deputy commissaries general, fifteen assistant commissa ries general, eleven deputy-assistant commissaries gene ral, and eleven commissariat clerks, whose pay for the current year is 9,566/. Os. 10d. These gentlemen have, like those at Bermuda, assistant clerks, store-keepers, issuers, and other subordinate persons to do their work, whose pay for the current year is 6,4541. Bs. 4d. There are, besides, allowances for black servants, for miscellaneous expenses. portages, advertising, extra labour, and travelling - making a total for the pay of public servants in this department of Canada, as returned in the Commis sariat estimates (which are, however, under the actual expenditure) of 18,076/. 9s. 2d. The same class of ser vants are paid, in Newfoundland, 7761. 17s. Id.; in Nova Scotia, 4 ; 5651 10s. 10d.; in Canada, for land and water transport, and the supply of water for the troops by the Commissariat, the charge is 11,2501.; ditto, in Nova Scotia, 3,5001.; ditto. in Newfoundland, 1711.; loss upon provisions, forage, fuel, and light (over the amount of stoppages from the pay of the troops to defray those ex penses), in Canada, 17,349/.; in Nova Scotia, 12,4671.; in Newfoundland, 2,8821. By the Commissa . riat estimates, the foregoing sums would appear to be all which thi s department of service costs in Canada ; but the miscellaneous estimates tax us with 14,3081. under the head of "Expenditure of the Indian Department in Canada for its establishment and pensions, from the Ist of April, 1848, to the 31st March, 1849," a considerable part of which falls into the emolu ments of the Commissariat. First, pensions, &c., to re tired officers, 4851 ; second, pensions to wounded Indians, 601. ; Indian presents, 8,7681. ; total, 9,3131. The profits on those presents, which consist of spirits, gunpowder, arms, blankets, and other stores common to the Commissariat depart ment, may be supposed to be considerable; but, apart from the profits on such articles, there are the following expenses incurred in conducting this establishment : Salaries, 2,4321.; contingencies, comprising office rent, stationery, transport, distribution of presents, provi sions, &c., 2,5631.; together, 4,9951. Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-'.ve pounds expended on the agreeable employment of having a general holiday with numerous friends, who joined the excursion from To ronto (so eye -witnesses report), to go to the head of Lake Huron to meet Captain Teyoninokarawen, chief of the Five Nations, once a year, to distribute the alleged worth of 9,3131. in goods. But there is another duty which devolves on the offi cers of the British commisssariat in Canada and Nova Scotia ; it is, to pay out of the British taxes the follow ing sums to the undermentioned personages : s. d. Bishop of Montreal ... ... 1,000 0 0 Archdeacon of Quebec . . ... 500 0 0 Rector of Quebec ... ••• 400 0 0 Rector of Quebec, for house-rent ... 90 0 0 Minister of Trinity Chapel, Quebec 200 0 0 Rector of Montreal ... ... 300 0 0 Rector of Three Rivera 260 0 0 Rector of Durham ... ... 100 0 0 Rector of Coldwell Manor ... 100 0 0 Rector of St. Armand ... 100 0 0 Verger (or doorkeeper) of Quebec... ... 30 0 0 Rent of Protestsnt burial-ground ... 20 18 6 Presbyterian Minister, Montreal ... 50 0 0 Presbyterian Minister, Argenteuil... ... 100 0 0 Roman Catholic Bishop, Quebec ... 1,000 0 0 Bishop of Nova Scotia ... ... 2,000 0 0 Archdeacon ••• ..• 300 0 0 Presbyterian Minister ... 75 0 0 Pension to President of Icing's College 400 0 0 Archdeacon of N ew B runsw i c k 300 0 0 Archdeacon of Bermuda ......... 200 0 0 ACiniuiPintan.of-Ne wfo ß ndl an d ... 300 0 0 To Foreign Missionaries of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Nova Scotia ... ... 3,412 10 0 Minister of Prince Edward's Island ... 100 0 0 In all, for North American Clergy paid by our Military Commissariat £11,578 8 6 Among other personages in Canada paid out of British taxes, there are persons employed in clearing snow from official places of residence, and chimney sweepers and washerwomen are charged for wherever there is a town-major, a barrack -master, or a fort adjutant; so that whilst those officers, their clerks and assistants, hold offices in plurality, and draw pluralities of pay, they draw pay also for every kind of imenial service performed in their official places of residence. The following specimen of expenditure in the Ord nance Department will lead us to those minor facts; and those, again, will lead us to inquire where the corruption begins, and what must be the rottenness of the govern ing system which spreads corruption to every extremity, the most distant and the most minute in the Government service. There is good reason to believe that, if a faith ful return were rendered of all the appointments of subordinate servants in the colonies by the several heads of the Army, Navy, Ordnance, Commissariat, Colonial, and Treasury departments, it would be found that a large majority of them were made at the solicitation of Members of Parliament, representing small borough constituencies, or counties which are in the nomination of a few powerful families. At Quebec there are—One storekeeper, 5501.; three clerks, at salaries varying from 901. to 210/., 5101.; assist ant clerk, —l.; law charges, 2001.; ground rent, 511.; removing snow, 20!.; postage, 80/.; sundry other con tingent disbursements, 1001.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—SIT Charles Napier, with his squadron, sailed this morning for Lisbon. The wind was Lair from N.E. all day yesterday, but accompanied with such thick weather and heavy rain, nearly all day and throughout the greater part of last night, that it would have been impossible to sale under such circum stances with a squadron, except at great risk. The Rear- Admiral accordingly did the best that could be aec,m plished; he untnoored the squadron yesterday afternoon, and sent notice to his fair passenger, the Hon. Mrs. Norton, of his intention to sail this morning if the wind continued. She was accompanied on board in the Myrtle steamer immediately afterwards by the Port-Admiral, the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel, 1i.C.8., and the Lieutenant- Governor, Lord F. Fitzclarence, G.C.H. She is on a visit to her sister, Lady Seymour, at Lisbon. This morning the wind continued the same, but the weather had cleared up. At 8 A.m. the ships crossed topgallant and royal yards, and at 9 A.M. loosed and set top sails, topgallant sails, and royals simultseeeu.ty, and commenced heaving up their A.,,-1•... a. In twenty minutes after, the whole of t h. vessels, with the excep t i on o f t h e Strout hen, ~ ere aweigh. The St. Vincent was the first vessel in tripping her anchor, at five minutes past 9, and was followed in rapid succession by the Reynard, Prince Regent, Rifleman, Plumper, Powerful, and Orestes. The Stromboli, from some unexplained cause, did not weigh till nearly a quarter of , _ pas•J'eaciv; ...The squadron stood to the u the Knob light at 10h. 40m., they bore up in suz..as3iiofl in -tee eiue.. The Earl of Essex, nephew to the Port Admiral, Sir Blades Capel, went off in the Myrtle steamer, at 9 o'clock A.M., to pay a farewell visit to the Hon. Mrs. Norton. The squadron was under weigh before she got out, but the Admiral hove-to to receive his last dis patches and letters, which the Myrtle also carried. The wind has since shifted to the S.S.E. At 1 o'clock the squadron was in sight in the S. by E. quarter, the St. Vincent leading, with all plain sail set, followed by the Roynard, Pow erful, Plumper, Prince Regent, Strom boli, Rifloman, and Orestes, in the order in which we write them; wind very light. The Prince Regent and the Powerful had reduced sail to topsails, jib, and main trysail. At 3h 20w. the wind had changed to S. by W., still light; the squadron carrying all plain sail on the port tack, the western tide just making in their favour. Fears are entertained that they will be back again. The St. Vincent has just tacked at 3h. 27w. P.M. We shall again enumerate the vessels that sailed to day, under Rear. Admiral Sir Charles Napier:— Guns. Crew. Tons. Builder. St. Vincent l2O 890 2612 Sir W. Rule. Prince Regent 1 After Caledonia, 90 820 2613 by W. Rule. _1 After Fr.

Napier comprises eight ships, four sailing and four steam-vessels ; the aggre gate tonnage is 10,423 ; number of guns mounted, 346; horse power of steamers, 500 only ; number of mvn, 3,085. The Driver, steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson, returned from Portland yesterday morning, and came into the harbour. The Sharpshooter, iron screw-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Bayley, which got on shore on a grass bank be tween Lancing and Worthing, on the Sussex coast, in proceeding from this port to cruize off the Kentish and Sussex coasts, for the protection of the fisheries, got off without damage, with the prompt and highly efficient assistance of the Coast Guard corps in the district of Inspecting Commander Hills. The Sharpshooter struck about a quarter to six o'clock on the morning in ques tion (but under what circumstances is not yet known); she was quickly seen by the Coast Guard on duty, and when her stranded position was observed the Coast Guard galleys from Worthing and Lancing were imme diately launched through a heavy and most dangerous surf to the assistance of the vessel, which appeared in danger of going to pieces. Lieutenant Maxwell of the Worthing station, took comtnand of the Coast Guard boats, and assisted in towing the Sharpshooter's boats to lay out her anchor, for the purpose of heaving her off on the flowing tide, and remained by her about three hours until she got afloat, when he returned with his boat ,party to the station. The officer and men who launched to the assistance of the Sharpshooter did so at the imminent danger of their lives, and are deserving of more than praise, as there is no doubt entertained but that ;for their timely and prompt succour, the Sharp shooter would have become a wreck, as there was a raging surf foaming around her, and a strong southerly wind, almost a gale, blowing at the time. The circum stance of the Sharpshooter's stra ndin g was quickly re ported by the Inspecting-Commander of the district to the Controller-General. When the Sharpshooter comes to this port, she is ordered to be docked and examined.

Admission—Lower Seats, 2s. ; Gallery, Is. T H N ICOL L. REGENT-STRELT and CORNITILL. THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above patent. and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the name in full, through being more convenient to use. THERE is a double use and purpose in the NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMYS PA LETOT, In other words, the same garment can he used as a warm winter Overcoat, and will look equally well as a light Paletot (used in walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nicoll, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in corporated wills the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original manner ; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one, viz., Three Guineas. . _ _ _ _ MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all readily concede their patronage to the new patented invention called THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the morn,ng atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies. TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS, UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the City, s s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn • ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by inducing a proper ci , culation of blood, the possession of a lighter Paletot would then be desirable, as much risk to bodily health is too often incurred by the warm coat being too suddenly thrown aside. 11.1 AMWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the MI) NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMYS PALETOT to be indis pensable to their comfort upon a journey for the five following reasons:— First—lt is a warm overcoat. Secondly—lt can be converted into a light overcoat at the lotuney's end. _ _ Thirdly —lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, and neck from cold draughts of air. _ _ Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as Its name would in dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c. The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the Nicoll, beyond anything of its natare ever laid before the public, consists in its moderate price, viz.. Three Guineas (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). Indeed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by tile low prices quoted. MESSRS. NICOLL are the originators and sole proprietors of the deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vie., c. 65) of Llama Cloth, and they continue to be honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and others distinguished in rank and fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. AGENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII those Firms throughout the varies, parts of the United King dom and the Colonies, who, up te the present time, have held a local Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual conditions. Gentlemen, Non-/tesidents in the Metropolis, are constantly de siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be easily enact by means of public Advertisement, as a descrip tion of the number of inches around chest and waist (taken under the coat) will alone suffice ; but the names of all the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous, te be described through the same medium ; however, the address of the nearest shall be immediately forwarded upon application to Messrs. Nicoll's Counting House Department. The following Agents have a very large variety of the above goods always ready for inspection, viz.:— Messrs. Macdona, Molesworth-street, Dublin. Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham. Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street, Liverpool. Messrs. Christie and Son, George-street, Edinburgh, J. Bruce, Cape Town. I C. Roth, Philadelphia. R. Rutherford, Hong-Kong. 1 D. Wilson and Co., Calcutta, CAUTION. —We, the undersigned, hereby declare our intention to institute Legal Proceedings against any person or persons who, after the date of this notice, shall make, or cause to be made, any infringement upon the Patent granted to us under the title of Improvements in Garments, Pockets, &c. The said invention consists—Firstly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and, secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part may be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer Coats or Paietots, &c., to a separate Garment and purpose ; and, in the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected by the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal. We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and , econd parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation of the full title of the Nicoll Chlamys Paletot), and the second part is called "The Patent Pocket Protector ;" and further it is our in tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau thorised persons from applying either of these trade marks or terms to other articles, or selling or offering for s any garment, &c., being an infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending to our injury and the deception of the public.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE RICHMOND AND DATCHET RAILWAY.—At the Richmond Police office, on Saturday, Samuel Heeley, the driver of the Vulture engine, was charged with the manslaughter of Richard Perry, at Richmond, on the 17th of November last.

HER MAJESTY'S PRIVATE THEATRE.—The stage of the Queen's private theatre, which has been daring the last six weeks erecting in the painting-room of her Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket, has received its finishing stroke and has since been taken to pieces, care fully packed in two vans, and removed to Windsor Castle. The stage-carpenters and machinists of the Italian opera-house have been sent to the royal residence, and have fitted up the stage in the apartment set apart for the dramatic performance to take place in. The stage is a splendid piece of workmanship, and is built entirely of timber. The timbers are so formed that they are held together by mortice joints, not so much as a single The p s a e r e t, he e s i , t w h teh to ee ih n e . ti n o a o il rin b g ei s n e g r r ya e . ci al u l i s re e d f the to C fa a s s te tl n e. any gist of chamber, wood, village, and sea views have been painted also at her Majesty's Theatre, and are beautiful productions, in strict keeping with the plays they are to re present, and have been executed by Mr. Thomas Grieve and Mr. Stanfield. They are so formed that, instead of separating in the centre like the flats of a regular theatre, they are wound round a kind of drum or barrel, turned by means of patent windlasses fixed in the flies. There :are three opening on the P.S., and a similar number on the O.P. of the stage, sufficiently capacious to admit of the corps dramatique entering and making exits without coming in contact with the wings. The curtain is made of rich silk velvet, is drawn up in a similar manner as the scenery, and is held straight by a heavy batten at the bottom. The stage, as it stood in her Majesty's Theatre, was about 24 feet wide by 34 feet deep. The foot-lights are formed by a row of splendid oil lamps, so shaded as to throw the light upon the smallest object at the back of the stage. The wings and flies are also lighted with oil lamps. The building of the stage has been intrusted to Mr. D. Sloman, the machinist of her Majesty's Theatre.—Observer.
