WELLINGTON DIED SEPT. 14, 1852.-
These words, encircled by a device of cypress and laurel
entwined, are formed into, and appear on, the surface of a 11A1'
vt'4_l! , and although the colour is necessarily black, on a black
"(mu, yet the design is so far distinct as to present a desirable
and consistent medium for national mourning at the approaching
grand public obsequies.
Tbe invention is the first patent recorded under the new Act,
which came into operation on the Ist of October, the material from
Which the Hatbands are made being the same fine elastic cloth orl-
tiinnily introduced by the patentees in the manufacture of the well-
irwn garment called NICOLL'S PALETOT (of which the late
Illustrious Chief was one of the earliest patrons).
..Armlets are made of Crape, according to the Regulation of the
VurnY, with the addition of the above device, and it is probable that
ooth Armlet and Hatband may be preserved as a relic by the Soldier
and Civilian.
The cost being but a few pence, this tribute of respect is within the
meansi;.,,, of all, and may be obtained Wholesale or ltetail of H. J. and
• Merchant Clothiers and Paletk Patentees, 111, 116,
113, 120, Regent-street, and 23, Cornhill, or of any of their Agents
established throughout the United Kingdom, also of the principal
Hatters, Glovers, and Drapers in Town or Country.

Railways have not yet as a:system been constructed in Switzer-
'lllll (the only existing line being one of 14 miler, connecting Baden
With Zurich), but this has not arisen from the country offering any
serious engineering difficulties, nor from indifference to their advan-
tages, nor from the traffic being insufficient to guarantee an ade-
quate return for the outlay, but; from the fact that railways have
°WY recently been introduced into the great States surrounding
Switzerland, and the attention of capitalists was naturally first
attracted by the more important lines in those countries connecting
the Capitals of Europe. The large operations for constructing these
international lines being in an advanced state, approaching to corn-
', pluton, the attention of the Federal Government of Switzerland was
anxiously turned to the subject; and, by its direction, Mr. Robert
Stephenson, the eminent English engineer, after a eareftil survey ,
reported upon certain lines of railway, which he recommended as
• the most easy and practicable in that country.
The first of these lines, commencing at Merges and Lausanne, on
the Lake of Geneva, and terminating at Yverdon, on the Lake of
Neufchatel, it is the object of the present Company to construct
important section of the system ; not only as the
