The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort — Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and Linton, Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Somerse:shire, has always been the market and trading town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the north, is through Taunton. A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac. tories, many of whi r ch are worked by steam in aid of water.power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales; the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid. port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populotta neighbourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un certain. 'The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas sage, and more than compensate for the charges attending re-ship ment at .Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam. engines. steam-boats, and other purpose'. The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.ticies of 350 tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp, Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, and nu. merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other railways. The harbour of Watchet, at spring -tides, admits vessels of 200 tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other provisions, cattle, sheep, silt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles of merchandise ; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour regularly and exclusively; one trading with Liverpool. It has also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol, and employs therein several vessels regularly Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the increased wants of the community. The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity. The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime of the 'nest celebrated description, both for water-works and ex terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast; and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills, paper mills, and clothing mills. The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten sive goods traffic. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure require such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious that the railway in actual progress from the Government Deck-yard at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bris tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland : Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe (50miles west of Watchet), and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular steam packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place, all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to laud passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either or them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be delusive. The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park. It affords great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con. sideratiou, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that it will receive their support. The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourable to the measure. and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal co al proprietors in South Wales, and all persons throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its merits, and earnestly desire it. Many extensive landowners on the line, whose names do not appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them. se►ves as friends to the measure. The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will be limited to the amount of subscriptions, and interest at four per cent. will be paid on all calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South. Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import. ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, axld North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con junction with the railways now in progress en the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a urge accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to Chatham. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the psssing of the Act until the opening of the line.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Ila.np ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the produce of the rich mines and qttarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be tansferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by Perlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from Loudon to the Land's End.

PRELIMINARY NOTICE. --- The line of railway which is now proposed for adoption is a material link in the general railroad system, not only as connecting the city of Salisbury with the county town of Dorsetshire and the seaport and watering-place of Weymouth, but as an essential com pletion of the channel of communication from the whole of the northern, midland, and north-eastern counties to the coast of Dorset. The Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Company (already incorporated by Act of Parliament,) the Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth Junction Coast Railway, and the Rugby, Swindon, and Weymouth Direct Junction Railway (Loth now in projection), will supply ample means of transit between Dorchester and Weymouth ; but the city of Salisbury, in which many lines from the east, north, and west, are proposed to converge, requires the railway now sug gested as a natural extension of "The Oxford awl Salisbury Direct Railway," at present before the public. These two lines would thus become powerful adjuncts to each other. Commencing at Salisbury, it is proposed to proceed, in a slightly curved line by or near to Cranborne, to Blandford, and thence, by or near to Bere-Regis and Piddletown, to Dorchester, a distance in the whole of about forty-five miles. A grand trunk line of railway, from the northern districts of Great Britain to the coast of Dorset, will by this mean:: be perfected ; and the market-towns of Cranborne, Bland. ford, and Bere-Regis, and the Parliamentary borough of Dorchester, will also be furnished with railroad accommodation. The experience of the last few years has abundantly proved that the railwa:, system must advance as a matter of indispensable neces sity. The hitherto partial operation of that system, whilst it has afforded unparalleled and unexpected facilities to the transactions of business in all its branches, to domestic and friendly intercourse, and to the indulgence of rational enjoyment and recreation, by ex peditious and economical means of transit, in those directions and lo calities in which it prevails, has to a most inconvenient extent pro duced difficulties in other districts formerly sufficiently supplied with, but now deprived of, the means of posting and mail and stage-coach travelling. The conveyance of goods is obstructed by similar obstacles ; it having been found much cheaper to adopt the transit by the nearest railroad, however circuitous in its route, and thoagh remote in its most proximate junction, than to resort to the former means of traffic, which have consequently ceased to exist. It would perhaps be difficult to point out a district in England to which these remarks more properly apply than the tract of country now proposed to be traversed from Salisbury to Blaudford and Dor chester. A prospectus, with a map of the line, and the names of a powerful Provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the mean time, further inforthation may be obtained trom Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, the solicitors to the under taking ; or the Secretary, Z. Hubbersty, Esq., at the office of the Company, No. 37, Gresham-street.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Sys ton and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will he of great convenience and u.ility, by affording to a part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Ratlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. It is uanecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to itosten, but also for the general traffic which will De brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unneces sary trouble, no other applications will be rec,ived except those wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit • tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrekers, Sutton, ospeetus G es ri an bb d le ' , 1)1 aannds s m a a t t y o bn Royal b o t y a a i n eEdx:c—h Exchange from Is i th i o e m ssrs pr INtessrs.

The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populcue town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent, and that point the nearest to it by geo graphical position, used but to be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the' capacity and value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; thus affording a direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu facturing districts —Rugby, the great centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the opposite ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns in its neighbourhood supplied by railway accommodation by the in tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not obtaining its act, it is proposed by this company to construct a branch to Grantham. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will he restored to that eminent position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the kingdom. • The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on :he amount of the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

SECRETARY —Edward Hart Hart, Esq. OFFICES—No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London ; and 36, Upper Temple street, Birmingham. It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull te , at the smallest outlay of capital , and with the least possible injury existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out n ew lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about h 2 9 9 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouc a C as tle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway '1 he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Hollaed, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Of Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lies, which, together with its OWII merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. . As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Bull and the mining and manufacturingtraffic in 11111.1. 1 .C.t. Corn, InCtals, &T.. may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the - port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opeaing of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party snaking default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had, of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—/siessrs.

The importance ot connecting remote parts of E..gland by rail ways, with the advantages - thereby conferred upon intermediatethe towns and districts, can scarcely be beter exemplified than by line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Saliebary at the south of the intended railroad, the central points from which various radii will divee to the northavest, north, and north-east of the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, contiNuing to that city the ce - arse of railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and eouth-western counties. The Oxfisrd and Fallsbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastem and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and laidgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a t direct strengthening communicatitheon with the sister University of Cambridge s eeclesiastical 'and academical lel:Won* or the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. . The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to pr , e ,o ss unfairly upon the Inhabitants of the important and towi f Abingdon. The4r means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which arc already p Trhe ov sameided wremark ith di rect channels of transit , are thus seyerely crippled. applies In some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits, and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through, Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail -road to London. By continuing the prajected railway. t°•Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be aforded to that plaee ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projectioh from Cambridge to Oxfbrd, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Tiungerford and Ludgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry, landowners, traders, and influential inhabitants, have reasonable ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during the ensuing session.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City truffle north of London. To effect this Important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as i o have induced the Provisional Committee to determine - on purchasing ' the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,000/. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis; and at the same time anon' a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London lathe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North Loudon Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed is immediate commtnication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the "greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,t45, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir raingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibusto traffic daCity.ly i is 30,894 passengers , tw o-thirds of which may be given the Passengers from the suburban districts reach d ing the Cit dailyy. , now =- accommodated by any railway, are estimate at 4,000 From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their rarlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing orders of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrartgeinent into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the deoectaxy, nu or before the Lit of October Mont, to exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receipt and signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

There's nothing in England's commercial affairs More worthy of note than the purchase of " Shares." The enormous excitement which railways create, Has engross'd the attention of thousands of late. In fact, ev'ry person seems loath to let slip The chance of obtaining a share and a " scrip:" And this has induced Messrs. MOSES and SON To do as the Railway Directors have done. Yes, MOSES and SON, who have seen the great stir Are resolved to sell " shares," without any demur; They have hundreds of thousands of " shares " in their trade, For which valued " shares" low " deposits" are paid. But recollect, readers, for such a prime chance, The "deposits" must always be paid in advance. Then ye who may wish to hold " shares" more or less, Come and purchase a " share" of our beautiful dress; The small "share" of profit which MOSES thus leap Makes the shares in their clothing runarkably cheap. Then hasten, good reader, as millions have done, And share the advantage of MOSES and SON.

Please write down address. Atty lamp pillar can be fitted, and single lamps of every description sold at wholesale prices. THE public is most respectfully inform e d that Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to-the specification in the Act G and 7 Vict., cap 65, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofed by the new method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that it does net sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shorten,ed by present railway and other conveyances. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of more than one of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin cipal families in. the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outré In appearance, would alone recommend.itself to the notice of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money.
