(Signed) 11. .T. and D. NICOLL, Dee. 1, 1849. REGENT-STREET and CORNIIILL. THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by 3IESSR3. NICOLL •is called NICOLL'S EIDER DQWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting '.n the adaptation of Eider Down to the several purposes of wearing apparel, but more particularly in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved. Eiders are found lit greatest numbers in Iceland and the Ferr Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to be proof agahist the most severe cold, and even the small quanta, which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wig serve in the formation of a Palettlt, which, while it has most extra ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the finest and thickest blanket, the great desidera urn for a winter garment being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue. Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and retail warerooms, 111, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, London. THE NICOLL is the distinguishing name given to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from general imitation. It has all the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S original invention, the REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH. The NICOLL:PA.LETOTS are char.;el Ono, Two, Three, and Three-and a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur pose for which they may be required, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET ; also 22, CORNIIILL facing the Exchan;,e. THE SEAL FUR PALETOT The mostly nature of the material will necessarily conflis the use of this garment to a Select few ; but he who can afford thi expense will pronounce it to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and lulu lons article of dress that can possibly to conceived. Messrs. NICOLL will, however, continue to supply ,he SEAL FUR PALETOT at its present moderate pric —that is to say, so long as the demand does nut interfere with the supply ; fur it must be borne In mind that the number of Seal Skins in t ,e English market is very limited—at least such as are capable of a taptAtion to the present purpose, that of being formed into the graceful garment called NICOLL'S PALETJT. Registered 6 and 7 Vic.. cap, 65. An early inspection and purchase would, therefore, be desirable. H., J., and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-SIIIEET, and 22, CORI:GILL, LONDON.

HALT' PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the .remiams. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first live years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquisked at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimaalred, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER , H IP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his ller bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, bywhora it is h4lily appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set firth in an advertisement, but may be read W a llis pamphlet, in which the bottles arc miclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, iligheate, and wig be found at page 11, un!er the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7.h of August, 1t46.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar et, Nervous Heailach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Staman, tlodfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, a sq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1523. This was on account el' its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor randy. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

A conversazionc, designed to further the interest; of this institution, was held on Tuesday evening, at the Clarence Hotel, Aldersgttes almost directly - opposite the ro nns of the society. The friende of the Princi pality; of both. saxes, assembled in considerab!e numbers. After partaking of tea and coffee, the 3 adjourned to a spacious room, where, at half past seven, the chair was taksn by G. C. Lewis, &q. M.P., and 'Under-Secretary of Ste'e, who was sup ported by Mr. J. S. Knowles, (the dramatist), the Rev. Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen. The CIIAIRAI AN observed that the institution hail originated in a desire to provide a place 'of intellec tual meeting for persons cousins , from Wales, who might otherwise be exposed to the temptations of the metropolis; and although its couitnencement had been unambitious, he trusted it would combine the .ener gies of a great number of persons for a common and most beneficial end. The object was to afford in• struction by means of the reading of publications, and civa a no n s sfio d notriuiu o tniul t ig h dtl ii e afob r trnriooamirriyt,ta,:ue,ooi interestingprupeel required nnteooi t thispgaspl:tile: b s ytte ; ohir,et a li cannimiddt members. fs t rotber w ee the holding of weekly meetings for discussion on literary l it to W v cordial support. It was obvious that to young men without intending ingly advantageous ,—( Hear.) With regard to the cultivation of the .Welsh language; to disparage that ancient tongue, he must say, that although it comprised many poems cf undoubted anti quity, it was not at the present time what could be pro; 1 perly termed a literary language. It was not the lan• , guage of the current literature of the day—of the laws, or of - government. No foreigner acquired it with view of studying Welsh literature;or of con • vetting in Welsh. In saying this he - Was` far ' from wishing to wound the sensibilities of . any %Vehh gentleman whose patriotism %1113 bound up with the language of his native country. The Welsh language was, in truth, in the same position as many other lan guages lin the British Isles and on the continent of Europe They all knew that the Gaelic was spikes, in the highlands and islands of Scotland and in some parts of Ireland. In Belgium the upper classes fo: the most part spoke French, while the Flemish tongue was the language of the people in one part of Belgium, and the Walloon in another part. In Malta the language of the Government and of the upper classes of society was Italian, whereas the lower classes spoke an Arabic dialect—a relic of the Saracenic occupa tion of that island. His object in making these allusions was to show that the case of the Welsh people was by no means a solitary one. Wherever such a state of things existed, however, it P t d exceeddc a a t constituted a barrier between different classes of so ciety, and those who spoke what he would term . the nonliterary language exclusively were necessarily impeded in their career in life. Howevsr great might be their industry or their abilities, they were, to a certain extent, kept in that class of society in which they were born.—(hear, hear.) Whilst he -could not advocate the extinction of the Welsh lan guage, he must say, with great deference to the assembly, that he considered it a misfortune to any person to have been educated exclusively in Welsh, and to possess no knowledge of the language of the pur a rts s no. establishing my li e o es current literature, of the laws, and of government. The diffusion of the English language would conduce to the welfare of those who acquired it, would tend to unite the different classes of society, and to throw down the barriers which separated the rich and the P 7 oor and would give to all, whatever might be th e i r station in life, a fair chance of realizing their own best interests. He hoped that whenever natives of Wales who resided in London visited the Principality they would take occasion to urge upon those of their countrymen with whom they came in contact the advantage of cultivating, as far as practicable, the English language, and of assisting in the removal of the barrier to success created by an exclusive ac quaintance with the Welsh.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY then read a report setting forth the advantages presented by the institution in terms substantially the same as those employed by the Chairman. , The Rev. Mr. JONES, incumbent of All Saints, Rotherhithe, moved the adoption of the report in the uival form, and remarked that although the lower glasses in Wales were undoubtedly deficient in gene ral literature, they were nearly all excellent divines, and were well acquainted with the Bible. Mr. J. S. KNOWLES hoped that Welshmen would not forget the advice of the Chairman, not to love their language too well —(Hear, hear.) Having travelled in Wales, he had found the people incon veniently prejudiced in favour of their own language. —(Laughter.) He admitted that the prejudice was a patriotic one, but he could desire in future the English language might always be taught in con juncti..n with the Welsh.—(Hear, hear) He re. juiced to see the establishment of that institution. Next in importance to the love of the Creator was the duty of cultivating the faculties which his boundless munificence had bestowed.— (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and, unanimously adopted. Mr. FERGUSON moved the following:—" That this meeting approves of the efforts made by the com mittee of management to extend the usefulness of the society, and fully concurs in recommending that ap plication be made to Welshmen generally, soliciting their cooperation in carrying out so desirable an object." Mr. EDWARDS, in seconding the resolution, re marked that it was almost impossib'.e to cure the evil pointed out by the Chairman by extinguishing the Welsh language, which would probably last for hundreds of years, and that the most effectual mode of promoting the eventual diffusion of the English tongue, which he admitted to be an object of great importance, was to afford instructi on i n W e l s h on a more liberal and extended scale, by which means the tone of the Welsh mind would be more assimilated to that of the English mind, and a general desire for improvement would be created. The resolution was then adopted. Other speeches, partly in Welsh, followed, and the occasion proved on the whole a most interesting one. TUB DEFALCATION IN THE ROCHDALE..,SAVINCie BAND.--It has been discovered that Mr. 11.1W*th, the deceased actuary, did enter the grOSs amonntst 7 of 411 deposits made in a rough cash book,- from - which various accounts were afterwards transferred, some'to the regular banking books and others to his oWn privalc records. This rough cash-book never went before the auditors, but its discovery will materially assist the com mittee of investiption which is now sitting at the bank, as the pre, umptiou is that the pass-books of the deposi tors, which are being daily ssnt in, will agree with it in every particular. Mr. Tidd Pratt was expected in Rochdale this (Thursday) mo:ning, when .he will give his opinion as to the legal liability of the trustees to make up the deficiency. It is generally believed that they , , not legally liable under tho circumstances, since the Act was materially modified in 1834. 8., that as it may, however, it is just to them to state that, es a body, they feel very strongly upon the matter, many having expressed their desire to come forward boldly and meet the deficiency at once. We believe, therefore, that the depositors need be under no apprehension of ultime. , .e loss We Intl repeat that the defalcation,-as far as can be at present ascertained, is about 37,0001,; while the asstti of Mr. Haworth are—a life policy for 3,0001.; the Castleton mill, probably worth 1-1,0000 a security bond of .500/.; and cottage property of the annual value of 150/. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A casualty of a most sin gul4r and melancholy nature occurred on Thursday evening to one of the crew of the ship Rienz', bound for Valparaiso. The Rienzi had been lying in the Birken head Docks, taking in a cargo of coal and firebricks. As she became laden she began to draw too much water, and was heuled into the river, where she was moored midway between Liverpool and the Cheshire shore, op posite to the Seucombe slip, to receive the residue of her cargo. About a quarter past six o'clock, on the evening of the day mentioned, the second mate, a fine-built, good-hearted young fellow, about 25 years of age, those name, we believe, is De Brasey, accompanied the tug steamer Queen to superintend the operation of putting on board a quantity of stowage and taking in provisions. The night was somewhat rough. Dc Brasey stood upon the paddle-box of the steamer as she lay alongside the ship, and held a lantern containing a lighted candle. Suddenly the light disappeared, and it was found that the unfortunate young man had fallen from , the paddle box into the water, between the ship and the steamer. The - machinery of the latter had been thrown out of gear, but the paddle-wheels wore in motion, occasioned by the Action of the water upon them, us it was blowing fresh and the ti le flawing strongly at the time. Active measures were immediately resoited to by the hands on board to render as,istance to their unfortunate bhipmat o. It was found that he had got jammel between the end of the fl eeS of the wheel and the side of the steamer. It was a considerable time Mere he could be extricated, and that not until some of the wood work had been cut away, at which time ho was quite dead. The deceased was dreadfully crushed about the legs and lower part of the trunk.—Liverpool courier.

H err E rnst, whrlse g is the better liked the oftener is is been!, is to chief attraction of the programmes, and made firth appearance on this occasion. The sensation created by H e ir E rns t l as t n i g ht even surpassed that lof any previous occasion. Ills solo piece was the famous Air Varit of Mayseder, known to all practised violinists, but in the hands of Ernst a thoroughly original pribrmance. Grace of expression, vigour of style, and dexterity of execution, were never more happily mingled. The theme and each of the variations were followed by a burst of genuine applause. But the wonder of the performance was in the cadenza, composed by Herr Ernst himself, a feat of prodigious difficulty, concludin g with a series of arpeggios unparalleled in brilliancy. The hall rang with the cheers that followed this extraordinary display, and Ernst was recalled with one voice ; and being, it may be presumed, an enemy to the encore system, be merely returned to the orchestra and bowed. The desire of the audience was, however, this time too unanimous and genuine to be resisted, and in obedience to continued acclainations, the violinist re-appeared, with his instrument, and played some of the popular variations of the " Carnaval de Venise." The moment the theme was heard the manifestations of satisfaction were renewed, and, Ernst was compelled to wait until the applause sub siding gave him a chance of being heard. A very interesting feature in the programme was the cele brated Septuor in E flat of Beethoven, played by Ernst (violin), Hill (viola), W. L. Phillips (violon cello), Rowland (double-bass), Maycock (clarionet), Jarret (horn), and Baumann (bassoon). The whole of this fine work, with the exception of one of the slow movements and one of the minuets (there are two of each), was given, and the performarice occupied about thirty-five minutes. It is gratifying to state that the Septuor was completely successful, and received both the attention and applause that were its due. Equally happy were Cherubini's over- ture to the Deux Jourees (a dramatic chef d'oeuvre that has been unaccountably overlooked by our great Italian theatres, where the productions of the French lyric stage have been lately in such favour) and Sterndale Bennett's romantic and beautifui concert , overture, The Wood Nymphs, both of which were admirably played by the band, under the direction of Herr Ansohuez, and both of which were liberally ap plauded. The selection was from Mozart's Figaro. Some of the gems of that masterpiece were given, and encores were allotted to the duet " Sul' aria," and the bass aft Non piu andrai," the former exceed ingly well sung by Mrs. A. Newton and Miss Eyles, the latter rendered with great spirit and effect by Herr Formes. The miscellaneous portion of the vocal programme was agreeably varied by two concerted pieces, performed on the sax. horns by the talented Distill family, who were carefully accompanied on the piano by Mr. Willy, jun. Miss Poole gave some popular ballads in her hest style, and intro duced a pleasing and well written song by "Angelina," a young composer of promising talent, called " Diy bright Savoy," which was favcurably received. The words of this song, by Mr. Shirley Brooks, have the advantage of being intelligible, as well as poetical, which is not: frequently to he noted in the verse makers who at present wield their pens in the service of music. The Misses Cole sang Mendelssohn's lovely chatnlysr duet, "I would that my love," with unexceptionable taste, and were deservedly applauded. Mrs. Newton deserves praise for the brilliant manner in which she executed a clever aria, to Italian words, the composition of Mr. Ribes, who himself performed an obkrato part for the flute, which added materially to the effect. Sterndale Bennett's charming song, " May Dew," sung with feeling by Miss Eyles ; and J. L. Hatton's sparkling serenade, " The silver moon," in which Mr. Luckey (well accompanied on the piano by Mr. Land) obtained an encore really well merited, completed the noticeable points in decidedly one of the best programmes Mr. Stammers has ever given to the public.

And, indte.l, evert now, much might be done by throwing the front railings of front gardens back to the house feints, in long avenues (e. g.
