ENGLISH AND GERMAN JU'RIS, PRUDENCE. Were accustomed to think of our mode of criminal Itirisprudence as the most perfect in the world; and one great reason of our doing so doubtless is, that few of us are acquainted with any other. Bred up amidst the peculiar forms and principles of our courts of law, we not only admire what is really admirable and excellent In them, but include a great deal that is mischievous and slasards Society can accustom itself to anything. Our fore fathers used to view dozens of men strung up at the Old Bailey and Tyburn almost with indifference, and yet did not consider themselves more unfeeling than our selves, who now shudder at and declaim against a solitary execution. It is only by looking abroad, out of their own narrow &role, that men can perceive the defects of their own system; and if modern nations, like those of old, studied each other's laws a little more, it would be better for all. The particular in which one excels is that in which another is most defective; and again, this latter has some counterbalancing advantage which might be well borrowed by its neighbour. It is impossible to read an article in the Edinburgh Review on the Penal Jurisprudence of Germany with out being struck by the curious contrat between the mode of trying criminals in that country and in this. In what they excel, we are most deficient, and vice versa. Whether both could not take a lesson from each other, is a question we do not venture to answer. But if all other sciences may be improved by the mutual efforts of nun in different countries, why not that of criminal juaisprudence ? In England, the great rule in bringing, as we term it, a criminal to justice, is to do so without any assistance on his part. From the moment that a sharge is made against a man, he is warned of the situation in which he strands -1 he is put upon his guard. So far from being led into anything which may furnish proof against him, he is made fully acquainted with his situation ; with the amount of evidence which will be brought against him ; and should he be disposed to make a clean breast of it, and confess, he is warned of the consequences—advised to take advantage of the chances of escape which the law affords; and this is often done by the judge himself; and if the man escape, so far from being a source of re pseach against the laws and their administrators, which have thus defeated their own object, it is a cause of triumph, and people go away admiring the impartiality of the judge, who, acting indeed as the prisoner's counsel, has helped him to escape from the penalties of his misdeeds. There is, indeed, in England a species of sympathy,.between the criminal and society, which, except in very flagrant cases (as, for instance, that of Belaney), tempts society rather to rejoice at than lament his escape from the clutches of the law. There is no difficulty, we think, in finding in what this sympathy has originated. It was the original seve•- rity of our laws which made them unpopular ; which enlisted public feeling on the side of the criminal as the injured party; which made the j udge anxious to inter pose his aid in favour of the weaker side, and raise all the defences which the laws themselves furnished in their intricacy against their own barbarity. "It is a penal statute, and ought therefore to be strictly construed" —that is, ought to be twisted, if possible, from its plain and obvious meaning—defeated by any means that chi canery can suggest—is a phrase we still hear constantly repeatel, and without wonder : for we know what it maim* though a foreigner, who thought that the degree of punishment was accurately proportioned in this country to the offence, might feel puzzled to know why one lAvr should be more strictly construed than another. In Germany quite the opposite rules in the trial of criminals. There, it is seldom that the extreme punish ment is inflicted ; but it is scarcely possible that the criminal can altogether escape. In the infliction of punishment the law is most careful ; the fact of guilt must be made as clear as daylight ere the judge pro ceeds to judgment. Proof which with us would be cOnclusive is rejected by them as insufficient ; and with the degree of certainty which their laws demand for the condemnation of a prisoner, it seems almost impossible that, with common prudence on his own part, be ever should be convicted ; for the law is scarcely satisfied unless be confess his guilt, and even then it is not always quite satisfied. What, thee, are the means by which this point is to be arrived at ? They are precisely those which the English law rejects, and at which we are accustomed to look with abhorrence. Our forefathers would coolly see men sent forth in dozens to perish on the gallows-tree, because they were found guilty on "good evidence " (such as footmarks, &c.) of stealing a sheep, or a horse, or a purse. But if there had been any talk of .a private examination, with the view, by rigid questioning, to extort a confession, what a hubbub would there not have been ! Our liberties would have been endangered ; our laws and constitution overthrown Yet it is by this means that the German law, so careful of life, proceeds against a criminal. It looks upon him as the party who, knowing most of the crime, is the best to seek information from. It seizes upon and subjects him to a species of mental torture, which, if really guilty, it is almost impossible to pass through scathless, but which, if innocent, furnishes him with the most effectual means of proving it. The suspected criminal is not, as with us, acquainted with the charge made against him ; but he is asked if he knows the cause of his apprehension ? If he pleads ignorance, he is removed, and on the next examination the question is repeated. If the same answer be given, the nature of the charge is partly disclosed ; and at each step, the pulse of the patient is, as it were, felt, to ascertain how far he is sound or corrupt. None of those shackles by which legal procedure is bound in England exist in Germany. No technical objection can be raised ; there can be no flaw in the indictment. A crime has been committed ; a person is suspected. Has the crime been coninitted ?—ls the person charged the criminal ? These are the questions proposed, and to answer them satisfactorily no time or trouble is spared, and no impe diments are raised. The accusation is not lightly enter tained ; the witnesses themselves are subjected to a species of trial ; that is, their character is sifted, and according as it is good, bad, or indifferent, so does their testimony weigh agsinst the accused. It is either in competent, suspicious or sufficient : and the testimony , of two suspicious counts for one sufficient, and that of two sufficient (or, consequently, four suspicious) wit nesses amounts to proof. The evidence of the accused is weighed in the same way, and it is for the examining judge to cast up this sum of evidence and submit the result to a superior court, which pronounces judgment, subject, however, to revision by a yet superior tribunal. The great object of the German judge seems to be, that which the English one most avoids previous to trial—confession. We wish for confession to confirm 3 udgment ; the Germans look to it as the best ground of judgment ; and it is seldom that, even in the most difficult cases, confession is not obtained: and we are acquainted by one of the best authorities (Feuerbach —himself a judge and the author of a most learned work on the Penal Jurisprudence of Germany) with the group sli on which it is made:— " Filiet, remorse ; the stings of an irritated conscience, and the desire to soothe them by the sort of amends which a full confession affords. This, however, he adds, experience shows to be one of the rarest phenomena in criminal procedure. For one criminal who confesses from no-motive but remorse, there are a thousand who scarcely know that such a feeling exists. Secondly— and this, he says, is the prevailing cause—the prisoner's inability to resist or elude the cross-examination of the judge. He cannot reconcile the inconsis tencies of his narration • he is ashamed to persist in an evident lie ; he is fatigued by having to invent stories which the judge immediately proves to be falsehoods; be knows that every such detection sinks him lower and lower in the estimation of the judge ; and he hopes that by frankness he may obtain some approach to sympathy. A third and very fre quent source, is the desire to escape from the agony of suspense—an agony which, in the solitary miens• ployed days and sleepless nights of a German pri son, may often be severer than any punishment short of death. A fourth is stupid sluggish despair. The prisoner has not the spirit or the energy which are ne cessary to play out a losing game. He gives himself up at once for lost, and saves himself the trouble of a de fence. And, lastly, every prisoner feels that he is in a great measure in the power of the examining judge. He knows that the examiner can aggravate or relax the rigour of his present imprisonment, and that his report must influence the final sentence of the court, and may decide the question of pardon. Whether he make a confession or not, he expects to be convicted—he sees the judge's eagerness to obtain one, and he yields in the hope of propitiating him." • It is, indeed, a contest of skill and perseverance between the iudee—the ioagisithr a airtime -alma die ice pererrator of it. Years may be occupied in the struggle ; for it is never given over whilst the possibility of arriving at the truth exists. One case is given at length in the Review which displays in a remarkable degree the defects and excellencies of the system. It is that of a German priest named Riem bauer, a man of great reputed sanctity, but who, in fact, had long indulged his passions in secresy, and being in danger, of exposure by one of his victims, murdered her. The fact is known to three females who bye with him; a mother and two daughters; but at his entreaties, they consent to keep his secret. He buries the body; no inquiries are made; and years pass on until the mother and one of the daughters (one of the priestht mistresses) die suddenly, and the other daughter, alarnid at their fate, rejects all the priest's overtures to remain with him, makes her escape, and, after some time, tormented by her knowledge of the murder, discloses it to the authorities. It is now that the peculiar character of the. German law shows itself. As the informant was not 18 (the legal age of taking an oath), no proceedings are taken until that time (1814). Her deposition is then received, but no further step taken for one year. The story was so improbable that this delay was thought to be due to the character of the accused. When, however, at the end of the year, the girl repeated her story with the sauce clearness and consistency as at first, an investi gation is made ; the spot is searched ; a skeleton found, and other corroborative facts, tending to bear out the girl's story, ascertained. Riembauer is now arrested and taken before the examining judge. Long prepared, doubtless, in his own mind, for this. he did not attempt an absolpte denial, which would have involved him in a labyrinth of difficulties and -contra dictions. He admitted a knowledge of the murder of the woman, but alleged that it was perpetrated by the mother and two daughters, from fear of being super seded as his housekeepers by the other female, who was his cousin. It was now that the struggle between the judge anti the criminal commenced; and, in point of intellect it was a fair fight ; for Riembauer was a man of great talent, wonderful firmness, and moreover was sustained by that esprit du corps which made him asso ciate his own disgrace with that of religion itself. This enabled him to undergo a b ove f our years o f examina tion, somtimes lasting for seven or eight hours succes airely, and conducted by, one of the most skilful judges --Feuerbach himself—in Germany. All ki n d s o f ocou. trivances were resorted ,to, to surprise him into a con fession. One was, on the anniversary of the murder, to produce suddenly the skull of the murdered woman. Riembauer sprang up from his chair, looked wildly at the judge, but immediately resumed his composure and fixed smile, placed himself so as to avoid looking at the skull in front, and answered, " My conscience is at ease. This day eight years, as .1 returned from Pirkwang,g found that skull, and the body of which it formed a part, lying dead in my room. If it could speak, it would say, Riembauer was my friend, not my murderer. You see that I breathe freely in its presate. lam not a crimi nal, but a victim." He did, however, at length confess, and so satisfied the scrupulousness of the German law. In England, as the Reviewer observes, " he would pro bably have been tried at the first assizes after Cath erine's information was laid; the proceedings could scarcely have outlasted one day; anrunless there were some technical flaw, unless the copyist perhaps left out in the indictment the words then and there,' or wrote the murdered woman's name Hanna instead of Anna, or Mary instead of Marie, the judge would have summed up unfavourably, and the jury would have convicted him without leaving the box. A curious part of the case, however, remains to be told, which forcibly illustrates the care which German jurisprudence has of human life. Though Riembauer confessed himself to be the murderer, yet another neces sity of German law bad not been proved—the murder itself, Nor could it be : for the skeleton bore no marks of it—nobody living had witnessed the deed ; and both these conditions are necessary to a sentence of death. Riembauer, therefore, was only sentenced to indefinite imprisonment. If a review of the working of German law leaves us, on the whole, well satisfied with our own system, it certainly places in a strong light the absurdity of some of our rules, which, by over-nicety as to technicali ties and forms (such as discharging a prisoner if a material witness be absent, or if a name be spelt wrongly or if, as in Lord Cardigan's case, - some witness re fuse to speak on the plea of committing himself) places a criminal in a situation where, if he have the means of putting it.to play all the tricks and contrivances of the law, he may, as many notorious criminals have done, set the law at defiance, and make that ((pal justice on which we pride ourselves a mere mockery. zance, passing intermediately the ports of Penryn, Belford, °week, and Portleaven, the populous mining and agricultural districts sur rounding Constantine,Helston, Breage, and Marazion, and affording complete and direct communication between the towns of Falmouth, Penryn, Belston, Marezion and Penzance. In the absence of such a line an this now projected, a journey by railway from Penzance to Falmouth would reqfdre a distance of forty miles to be traversed ; but, by the proposed line, the distance will not exceed twenty-five miles, Old the whole of the fertile southern coast of Cornwall, between FaHnoutli and Penzance,, and the rich promontory extending to the Lizard, will receive ample accommo dation. At Falmouth, the line will be connected with the intended rail ways which are to have their terminus at that unrivalled port, ex tending from the east of England and the metropolis on the one hand, and Scotland and the north of England on the other ; and this line will also form the last link of the great chain of coast lines, ex tending from Margate by Dover, Brighton, Southampton, Dorchester, Plymouth, and Falmouth, to Penzance, the last port on the southern shores of the kingdom. Falmouth, from its importance as the packet-station of the empire, and from being also of great commercial consideration, owing to its safety and advantageous geographical position, is become the prin cipal point of arrival and departure for vessels trading to foreign ports, and when the eastern lines which have their terminus there shall be completed, there can be little doubt that it will become in a national and commercial point of view one of the first ports in the kingdom. With reference to its local advantages, this line of railway can scarcely be over-estimated. The traffic from the southern district of the county to the markets of Penzance, Belston, and Falmouth, the "latter of which are mainly supplied from that abundantly rich and fertile locality, immense. The early vegetables produced in such abundance and in rapid succession in the exuberant soil of Penzance not only supply the market of Falmouth, meeting the great demand occasioned by its foreign and domestic trade, but are also, by the Irish and other steam-vessels, forwarded from that port in great quantities to the London market. The well-knewn fisheries in the Mounts Bay would be greatly benefited by the meansof ready transit for the superior fish of that locality, also destined for the London market, while now, from the uncertainty of communication with the metropolis, too frequent risk and loss arc encountered through the time consumed in the journey between Penzance and Falmouth by the ordinary roads. The celebrated Cornish granite, which is in such extensive de mand for the Government and other great national works, is chiefly supplied from the inexhaustible beds of that famed stone lying con tiguous to the proposed line between Penryn and Ilelston, through the centre of which the railway will traverse an extensive natural valley. The annual shipment of this stone from the port of Penryn alone amounts to upwards of 20 000 tons, nearly the whole of which would pass over the projected line. Oa its route will also be found many important mines, including the celebrated Wheal Vor Mines, near Belston, and others of great and increasing importance, the supplies and produce of which will form a considerable item in the traffic returns.

The passenger traffic between the termini and the interme diate towns, is at present of considerable magnitude, exclusi re of that carried on by post chaises and private conveyances ; and omitting many articles of traffic which would neeessarily pass over ihe line, it has be. n already ascertained that the traffic in agricultural produce and manures, merchanrllse, mine supplies, ores, granite, and passengers, is sufficient to return at least 10 percent. on the required canital. THE WEATHER.—THE POTATO CROP.—For some days the atmosphere has been damp and heavy, and during the night rain has fallen copiously. Potato-lifting is now proceeding on all hands. We have made particular inquiry respecting the condition of this crop, which we find is both sound and abundant in our own locality ; in proof of which we may remark, that the quantity of potatoes in yesterday's market was greater than for two or three previous weeks, and there was besides a reduction in price of 4s. per boll. The market price of potatoes here, per boll of forty-eight stenes, is about 12s. In the high districts there is still a great deal of grain out, some even uncut, and we are afraid it must have suffered materially from the boisterous and stormy weather. —lnyerness Courier. The satin dlaia ice will not exceed twenty miles, as the line will join the ureat Metropolitan and Falmouth line at Penryn, and the West Cornwall line front Truro, by the north coast, to Penzance, at Mara zion. _ The survey of the line, which is in active progress, will be ex tended to Penzance, the estimated capital being sufficient for the whole line, but should the West Cornwall line be successful in their application for a Bill, the junction will take place as proposed at Marazion, and the capital of this Company will be reduced in pro portion. When the peculiar position of this line is considered, its importance in a national point of view, as the terminal link of the South Coast lines of England; its great vain e as connecting Penzance, the Earden of England, with the safest attnost convenient port in the English charnel; its numerous locarr[vantages, traversing the margin of one of the finest agricultural districts, and penetrating the centre of the mining and granite localities, ti which may be added its freedom from all risk of competition ; it may safely be affirmed, that, as a speculation, few railways have offered similar inducements to the capitalist.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed ftom the Eastern Counties Railway at or near Mallow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mail ing, and Hadiew, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Ucktleld to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great importance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming, RS it will, a most us.ful chain of local communication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in conjunction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. 7ty this railway the large population of the north-eastern coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com munication 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. Helstou, and Penzance Railway Company.

Second—That the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid In some shape, on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway Which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten sions and developments consequent upon it. Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last, accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer taining the views of the local Governinont, prior to the final arrange ments for commencing operations. Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that, subject to any uuforseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta to the north-western provinces, by MirzaPore, was the most needed by India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the first communication with the Government, the selection being left to the Government. _ _ Fr, :visional C( annittee for rvaryn ..... Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de sign of Government. Sixth—That under these circumstances It appears to this Board to be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt such measures as will have the eftect of securing to the Company the benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity. Seventh—That wills this view, and in order to prove to the Go vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being essential to the scheme of the Government so to oommence), it is desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten millions, by the issue of new shares. Eighth—That 120,000 shares of 501. each be created, en which a deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000 shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share; and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as maybe found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.

The Committee of Mananagemeut have the satisfaction of stating that most advantageous arrangements have now been concluded with the Saundersfoot Railway and Harbour Company for the use of their line, harbour, and other works, which will considerably lessen the estimated cost of the proposed undertaking, and eusure the supply tif every material for the works at a very reduced price. The new works will now consist only of a short branch of about three-quarters of a mile, to effect a junction between the Saunders foet and South Wales Railway and another to the harbour of Saun dersfoot, with a line of about six miles to the favourite watering place of Teuby. That part of the Saundersfoot line which will be used for the present railway can be adapted at a vary moderate cost, and without interfering with the existing valuable coal line and mineral trains ; and the present Company will enter into the receipt of the profits derivable from this source immediately on the Act being, obtained, thus securing an immediate return to the shareholders. The requisite notices of intention to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session are prepared, and will be at once advertised, as required by the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament, and the surveys, plans, and sections are in a sufficient state of forwardness to ensure their deposit earlyln November. The consent of nearly all the landowners on the line has been se eured, the project is warmly supported by the mayor, corporation, and inhabitants of.Tenby, and there is every reason to believe it will receive the sanction of the South Wales Railway Company ; so that it is expected the measure will be entirely unopposed.

The genee ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J.

INTKEIM AGENTS AND LOCAL SECRETARIES—WMRIII Hay, Writer, Dundee ; and David Gow, writer ia Forfar. This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines; and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc tion from Edinburgh and Perth, and its proposed extension to the Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk ; also the Forfar and Arbroath Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a continu ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication flora England through Scotland. This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district connected with the line is about 100,000. Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between ' Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro cess.; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unquestionably benefit the trade and agriculture of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both for consumpt and exportation ; and the agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee for exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this undertaking to the public, not only as one necessarily called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests of the district, and public conveniency, but more especially by its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. The district has already been surveyed, and presents no difficulty to the formation of the railway ; and the proprietors and tenants along the lino are understood to be very favourable to the under taking. The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduced and passed its the ensuing session ; and the Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar. The Cempany will have also power by their notices to form the line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Droughty Ferry, if this can be considered consistent with the direct and unin terrupted main line of communication from Dundee-to Forfar sad the north of Scotland intended by this Company.

NICOLL have received-permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Viet., cap 65, to alter and otherwis e adapt the :oat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to he suitable fe, winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker Ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofed by the ne er method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine th e heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, rernaiDe as poreus as other that has not undergone this process, the effse! 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 shortened by present railway and other conveyance s ' 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 no t confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or itr the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be 0 P: served that those principles are retained that has obtained 04 . the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of „_ Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prio:, cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known 111 : . distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The /OW tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vults t or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice 0i . the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further so sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be 0 e" tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities; but et only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any atteMP, on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, an a such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provi de in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reW sru of fifty pounds will be paid for information that may lead to t b , 6 _ conviction of such parties by H.
