" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy— rich, not gaudy ;
For the aparel oft proclaims the man."
THE spirit and meaning of the above quotation
may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented
I'aletot or outer coat, adapled for a variable climate, by means
of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be
converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice
versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im-
proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar-
ment for either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner
lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most com-
fot ta+ le reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is
rich In quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from one
aid a half to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London
only of the Patentees, H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 120, RE-
GENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL.

FOREIGN WOOLS.—" At the recent Wool
Sales, the whole of certain qualities of Foreign Wools, after
some competition, were nurchased for Messrs. Nicoll, the extensive
Woollen Drapers and Clothiers of Regent•street and Corihill. They
are all marked for Gloucestershire, as in that county the mills are
situated wherein the raw material will be converted into the beau-
tiful fabric known as the Nicellian Cloth, a species of ntanufact,re
Introduced by the flrm from whore it derives its ■acne."—The Sun.
WOOLLEN BUYERS and CONSUMERS are reminded that
Messrs. NICOLL were the first, and continue to be the only, house
in the United Kingdom that ever offered to the buyer and consumer,
for cash payments, the saving of all the several profits of the in-
termediate grades that continue to exist between the wool growers
and themselves. As will be shown by the above extract from one of the
public journals, the wool used in the manufacture of the Nicollian Cloth
does not leave Messrs. N.'s po-session until it is produced in the piece
ready for sale, either by their Agents, or themselves at the Whole-
sale Warehouse, 120, REGENT-STREET, and afterwards when
made up into the fashionable and Patented garments known as the
NICOLL, the REGISTERED PALETOT, and NICOLL'S
MORNING COAT, all of which can be purchased singly of the
several recognised Agents, as also of the Patentees.

ANOVELTY.—There has lately been registered
an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle-
man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged
want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some-
what in the form of a dress-coat— that is to Say, it can be
worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos-
tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ;
but yet the garment is more especially intended fur morning
wear, as a Riding er Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each
will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its
fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their
patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, Fe that a
selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or
the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance
arising from the butter not immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.

Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTII, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
MORNIACi COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and which can be had in London only of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,
116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

TO THE COUNTRY TRADE, &c.—Such re-
spectable houses as may be disposed to add to their present
trade the very important addition of a first-rate connexion, consisting
of purchasers of first-class Goods, principally PALETO 15, Sec., can
effect their object by applying for terms, Sze. to the under-men-
tioned, who will duly forward same, with fullest particulars,
in the event of there being an opening for an agency in the
town from whence they write.—H. J. and D. NICOLL, WHOLE-
SALE and COUNTING-HOUSE DEPARTMENT, 120, REGENT-
STREET, London.

A R R I A G E.
NI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sane of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
S:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en-
camp-losing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should sot be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedentand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-

TO TEMPLE-BAR.

Pardon, I pray ! thou venerable bar,
I'm deep in debt, as poets often are.
Yes ; when I look at thee and my arrears,
I find that I am over head and ears.
But never mind, I'll manage to defray,
The debt which hitherto I've fulled to pay :
In other words, my muse's ready purse
Shall liquidate the debt by means of verse.
Illustrious gate thou long bast had to stand,
The boundary-mark et Fleet-street and the Strand ;
Nor can I think that ever thy removal
Will meet with the majority's approval.
The statues of Elizabeth and James
Will still remind us of their royal names ;
While in thy western niches we shall view
Thy Charleses number one and number two.
I often thick, famed bar, while gazing at you,
And mutely conning each illustrious statue,
What different articles of dress were made
When either of those noted monarchs swayed.
MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE
Was quite unknown,
When Charles, or Bess, or James enjoyed the throne.
No stylish samples of improvement's march
Then passed beneath thy famed elliptic arch.
No MOSES then in splendid garments clad
The English gentleman, adult, or lad.
THE HATS OF MOSES
Then, thou noted gate,
Were never known to decorate the pate.
Inferior Hats to MOSES' decked the crown,
When those famed sovereigns laid their precepts down.
THE BOOTS -AND SHOES,
Thou, celebrated bar,
Were not at elflike those ot MOSES are;
Far, far inferior fashion la Id they got,
And far inferior firmness—had they not?
FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY,
Such as MOSES show,
Were never then adopted-0 dear, no.
If Queen Elizabeth's stone statue there,
Had but a tongue, and reason to compare,
'Twould tell us frankly—bearing out my view,
That ladies never dressed as now they do.
MOSES and SON, 'twould say, surpass them far,
On viewing what they were, and what they are
And thus have I improved on Temple-bar.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, Marten 6.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—We had more
firmness in the wheat market during the past week, and sup-
plies of good conditioned foreign red have been taken off pretty
freely at fully late prices, wholly to consumers. The supply of
barley of all sorts being in excess of demand, the trade has
ruled dull. Other articles without notable variation in value.
For to-day's market we had a small supply of home-grown
wheat, which met free sale at last week's prices perhaps the
turn in favour of the buyer. Foreign was al'o in better supply,
and we experienced for it a good consumptive demand. Barley
only dull. A good sale for new beans if in condition. More
passing in oats at late rates. Peas quite neglected. The
linseed market is firmer, and cakes not quite so good to buy
at late quotations. No transactions in rapeseed. Rape cakes
go off pretty well. No Peruvian guano on: the market, but a
cargo daily expected. There is some goc.d Ichaboe on sale.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 6.—The arrivals of oats and oatmea
from Ireland, and of malt coastwise, still continue liberal, but
of other articles the supplies are trifling. From foreign ports
ti ere are only moderate quantities of wheat and Egyptian
beans ; but rather large of Indian corn and Sour. The ex-
ports in the same time amount to 1,052 quarters of wheat, 7,104
quarters of Indian corn, 1,240 barrels of corn meal, 329 sacks
and 3.032 barrels of flour. The trade has been rather firmer
for wheat, and several parcels of good useful red have been
taken to hoist over, at the extreme prices of that day. Flour
was likewise fully as dear, w ithout any particular improvement
in the demand. Oats and oatmeal were in very slow request,
and prices barely sustained. The transactions in barley, beans,
and peas continue on a very small scale, and without any change
in the currency. Indian corn is in fair request, and 6d per
quarter dearer. At this day's menet there was a fair attend-
ance of dealers, but in consequence of the discouraging reports
from Mark-lane and the continued fine weather. they conducted
their purchases with great caution. Wheat met a limited re-
tail sale only, at a decline generally of Id, and in some in-
stances, 2d per 701 b on prices of this day week. Flour was
extremely difficult of sale ; Western Canal was in vain offered
at 25s 6d per barrel, and Irish was quite neglected. Oats
were id per 451 b lower, and a slow sale; as was oatmeal,
without any change in value. There was no change in the
value of barley, but Indian corn and Egyptian beans were
each 6d per quarter cheaper. Peas quite out of request, and
the value nominal.
LEEDS, MARCH 6.—There was a good supply of wheat at
market to-day, and many captains having brought samples, the
trade ruled dull. Both wheat and barley must be quoted is
per quarter lower than last Tuesday. In eats and beans no
alteration.

"THE GUARDIANS OF TYE HOLBORN AND CHEL-
SEA UNIONS v. DaouET."—On Monday application was
made at the Judges' chambers, Sergeants'-inn, to Mr.
Justice Patteson, by Mr. Ballantine, on the part of Mr.
Drouet, of Tooting, to remove the indictment found
against his client from the Central Criminal Court into
the Court of Queen's Beueh, on the ground that an un-
fair prejudice had been created in the case, and that frcm
the state of his health death might be produced from the
excitement which might arise from his being placed at
the bar of the Old Bailey. The rule nisi which had been
obtained was argued at length by Mr. Ballantine. Mr.
Petersdorff, with whom was Mr. Duncombe, appeared to
show cause against the order being made absolute for
the issuing of the certiorari. The Learned Counsel
having concluded their arguments, his Lordship said,
under all the circumstances he was of opinion that there
was no ground for the removal, and that the writ ought
not to issue. lie should therefore discharge the applica-
tion. Order nisi discharged accordingly.
THE CAPE OF GOOD llorE.—By an arrival off
Brighton we have Cape of Good Hope papers to the 23d
of December, which is a few days later than the previous
advices. There is, however, nothing of much importance
from the colony, the Governor being strenuously occu-
pied in reconoiling the conflicting interests arising out
of the late hostilities on the frontier. The frontier ac-
counts are considered very satisfactory.
Sir James Carnegie, Bart., had an interview with Sir
George Grey at the Home-office yesterday.
LIBERATED CONSCIENCES.—FREEDOM OF CON-
SCIENCE AND THOUGHT.—The medical theory of James
Morison, the Hygeist, was not only the greatest triumph in
medical science, but further established the liberty of thought
and conscience throughout tl e wcr:d on all subjects. It was,
in short, the force of truth its sting the strongholds of error
and prejudice. James Mor:son, the youngest son of Alexander
Morison, Esq , was born at Bognie, in the county of Aber-
deen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as
one of great affluence and respectability, and the subject of this
brief sketch was the second brother of John Morison, late
Member for Banffshire. In early life he studied at the Uni-
versity of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany,
being intended for the mercantile profession. After finishing
his studie., he resided at Riga, as s merchant, and subsequently
in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West
India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he
was obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seek-
ing from change of climate a restoration to health. About the
year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great
respectability. He died at his residence in Paris on the 3d of
May, 1840, aged seventy, and was buried in the family vault at
Kensal-green. We cannot do better than transcribe the fol-
lowing interesting particulars given by himself in the " Mori-
soniana," republished by his Eons and successors A thirty-
five years' inexpressible:suffering, both of body and mind, is an
event, too, which falls lint to the lot of few, if any at all. Had
it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years
ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten,
and the world could have reaped no benefit from my case and
misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the
same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world
not often to lie met with, and a convincing proof of the motto
prefixed to this advice, that ' health and old age are within the
reach of us all.' "—For the remainder of the biography, see the
abridged " Morisoniana," price 6d.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Another Proof of the Effi-
ciency of Holloway's Ointment and Pills for the cure of Bad
Legs.—Mrs. Mandeville, of Stretton, suffered for nearly three
yews with fearful sores in her legs. Notwithstanding the vari-
ous medicines of which trial was made, the ulcerations grew
worse, and for some months she was unable to stand ; at length
it was decided that Holloway's Ointment and Pills should be
used, and these excellent medicines soon worked wonders, for
in a few weeks all the wounds were healed, and the use of her
legs so perfectly restored, that she is now able to walk several
miles a day with ease.—Sold by all Vendors of Medicine, and
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
