NICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
has all those advantages which secured such general popu-
larity to Messrs. Nicoll's original Paletot ; that is to say, as it
avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, professional
men sus all others can use it during morning and afternoon in
or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessety
seams, thus securing a more graceful outline and great saving
in wear; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the
application of a peculiar and neatly-stitched binding, the mode
of effe ting which is patented.
In London the NEW REGISTERED PAL F.TOT can alone
be had of ti.J. and D. NICOLL, 111, 116, 118, 120, Regent-
street, and 22, Combat.

VICOLL'S PATENT CAPE PALETOT
.11 offers the following desideratum the Cape descends from
the front part of the shoulders and firma a species of cleave lur
each arm, both are at perfect freedom, having to pass through
enlarged apertures in the side or body of the Paletot: these
apertures, however, are duly covered by the C ape, which does
not appear at the back part of the Paletot, but only in the front,
and thus serves to form hanging sleeves, at the same time con.
cealing the hands when placed in the pockets. The garment is
altogether most convenient and graceful in appearance, and can
in London alone be had of H. J. and 1). NICOLL, 114, 116, 118,

ASSURANCE CONIPANY,

No. 8, Waterloo•pinee, Pall•mal1, London. S.W.

The Funds or Property of the Company as at 31st December,
11158, amounted to £617,801, invested in Government or other
approved securities.
Annual Income, upwards of Slll,OOO, from premiums alone.
CHAIRMAN —The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT,

DEPIFFYCHATEMAN.—CHARLES BERWICK CURTIS, Esq.
INVALID Lrycs.—Persons not in sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN PAYKENT OF PRIXIIINS.—OnIy one-hel fof
the Annual Premium, when the Insurance is for life, requires
to be paid for the first five years, simple iutereat being charged
on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immn-
diAte advance of fifty per cent. upon the annual premium,
without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant neces-
sity of procuring sureties, or assigning ant thereby parting
with his Policy, during the currency of the Loan, irrespective
of the great attendant expenses in such arrangement.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advanta-
geous when Policies have been required to cover monetary
transactions, or when incomes applicable for Insurance are at
present limited, as it only neeessitates half the outlay formerly
reqnired by other Companies before the present system was
instituted by this Office.
LOANS. —Are granted likewise on real and personal Seen rider.
ADVANTAGE OF INVTRING BEFORE Deo. 31, 185f.—Policie■
effected before this date will participate to a greater extent than
if delayed after that period.
