THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
MIZSSIZS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN
PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of Eider Down
to the several purposes of wearing apparel, but inure particularly in
the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and
Utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved.
Elders are fouid in greatest numbers in Iceland and tho Ferr
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate dowi is well known to bi
Proof against the most severe coil, and even the small quantitj
Whieh can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wit
serve in the formation of a raletit, which, while it has mest extra-
ordinary lightness, has, neverthei&s, more warmth than the fines,
and thickest blanket, the great desidera.um for a winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.

TilE NICOLL is the distinguishing name given
to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from
general imitation. It has all till advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S
orLdnal intention, the REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA
CLOTH. The NIGOLL7PILETOTS are chargol One, Two, Three,
and Three-and a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur-
pose for which they may be required,

THE SEAL FUR PALETOT.
The costly nature of the material will necessarily confin.
the use of Ibis garment to a :elect few ; but he who can afford the
expense will pronounce it to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and
luxn- ions article of dress that can possibly be conceived. Messrs.
:NICOLL will, however, continue to supply the SEAL FUR
PALETOT at its present moderate prise—that is to say, so long as
the demand does net interfere with the supply ; for it must be

borne in mind that the namber of Seal Shins in the English market
• is vary limited-Lat least such as are capable of a laptation to the
Present ptirpose, that of being formed into the gra. fal garment
called NICOLL'S PA LET )T. Registered 6 and 7 Vi;.. cap, tio.
AR early inspection and purchase would, therefore, be desirable.

VIIRISTMAS.—One of the new patented inven-
tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DONV%r PALETOT will
doubtless form a most .acceptable gift at the approaching season of
festivity, when it is somewhat dif2cult to se'ect the best token of
friendship or affection. Tho lightness and warmth of this garment
Will render it highly setviceable for covering an evening costume
Without causing the least disarrangement and (coin the peculiarity
or the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea-
surement being taken, as merely some slight description of height or
aPnearance will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER
DOWN PA.LETOT, at the cost of SIX tiMNEAS, and which may
fairly be described as one of the beet preservatives of health ester yet
introduced to the Public.

And now, for Moses' sake, I'll make a trial

" Yes, Sir (said I,
In my reply),
If all be well, I'm corta'n to be there,
For I enioy the sight at Portman-square,
Not sole for the oxen, sheep, and pigs,
On which Friend Punch dePrhts to play his rigs,

Whose fashions are a proof what Moses' trade is."
" Exactly so (said Dyal ), I and you
On such a subject hive the self-same view.
1 never went, I do declAre.
To see the prizes at the square,
Without admiring Moses' dresses there.
I certainly confzss
(Raid Mr. Dyall),
That such su erior dress
Should cause us every one to make a trial."
"Just so (said I), I acquiesce
In all you 'ay of Moses' dress.

Do credit to the Mart of M. and Son."

John Robinson was indicted for forgery. Mr.
Monk and Air. Joseph Pollock prosecuted, Mr. James
defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner had planned and exe-
cuted a series of forgeries which have been carried
on in Manchester, the metropolis, and elsewhere with
great ingenuity and success. The fraud consisted in
forging cheques on the different banks, by obtaining
by some means the genuine signatures of the parties
who kept accounts at the several bankers', and then
in skilfully filling up cheques, signing the name, and
obtaining the money. Apprehensive of detection
when getting the cheques cashed, a plan was devised
for making use of persons unconscious that any such
fraud was being practised.
In the case now tried, the prisoner was indicted for
having, on the 28th of April last, at Manchester,
forged a cheque for the Elllll of 3251. 95., with intent
to defraud William Burton. In a separate count he
was cherged with uttering merely.
It appeared, from the statement of counsel and the
witnesses called, that on the 1841 of April there
appeared an advertisement in the Liverpool Courier,
for a young man required to fill a commercial situa-
tion. A young man named Frederick Whitfield, now
clerk in a house in Dublin, answered this advertise-
ment ; and subsequently received a letter from the
prisoner,. who adopted the name of Whittam."
Whitfield was requested by thr writer to `meet him
at the Corn Exchange, in Manchester ; and they met
there accordingly. Prisoner, after talking with
Whitfield for some time, and representing himself to
be a corn-merchant, left for a while, saying that he
had some one to see. Oa his return he requested
Whitfield to go and get cash for the cheque in ques-
tion, which the other agreed to do. The cheque was
on the bank of Sir Benjamin 'Heywood and Co., and
purporting to be drawn by Mr. William Burton, who,
it appeared, had kept an account at that bank for
some time before. Whitfield went to the bank, re-
ceived the money is six 501. Bank of England notes,
and the remainder in cash, and brought it to the
prisoner. Prisoner then asked him to carry the
notes to the Branch Bank of England, in King..
street, Manchester, and get them exchanged for
gold, giving him sixpence to pay for a bag to put
the cish in, and observing that he did not like to
go as the bankers were jealous of being called on
to pay in cash. Whitfield thereupon went to the
branch hank and got the gold, prisoner having en-
dorsed the notes, " Whittatn, Preston." Te prove
the guilty knowledge in the prisoner, on the charge
of uttering, there were several other similar previous
utterings by him. Two of these were made subjects
of distiect charges by two other indictments. The
prisoner had obtained by these means, in the whole,
about 1,5001.

Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—To be transported
For twenty years.

NISI PitiUS COURT.— (Before Mr. Justice
TALFOURD.)
Thomas Hardman was charged with having mar-
ried Jane Haswell, his former Wife being then alive.
Mr. Monk prosecuted; Mr. Joseph Pollock de-
fended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was married on the
bt of January, 1835, at Bolton, to one Eliza Raws-
thorne, by whom he had several children, who, having
become chargeable to the parish at Wigan, the poor-
law guardians instituted the present proceeding,
havi- g discovered that the prisoner was married at
Gretna Green on the 14th of November, 1347, to
Jane Haswell, who was a barmaid at an inn in
CarliAe, from which place they eloped, and were
duly married by John Murray, a toll-collector near
the border.

The-first marriage having been proved, and the
second wife having given evidence as to the second
marriage, the Counsel for the prosecution called
John Murray, who said I am a toll collector at
Alison's Bank, in the parish of Gretna. I produce
register of inarriages which I keep (the following is
an extract)
" Alison's Bank Toll-house, Parish of Gretna,
Scotland, 14th November, 1847.
" We, Thomas Hardman, residing in the parish of St.
Mary's, in the county of Cumberland, and Jane Has-
well, residing in the parish of St. Mary's, in the county
of Cumberland, d, hereby acknowledge ourselves to be
married parsons' in testimony whereof we have re--
quested Wilrn laGraliam and William M'Can to sign
this as witnesses to the genuineness of our signatures.

" WM. Graham. " THOS. HARDMAN, rl his mark.
" Wm. Al'Can. " JANE HASWELL, k her mark."
Witness, in continuation—When the parties came
into the room I asked them to stand up. I said,
" Are you, Thomas Hardman, a single, unmarried.
man ?" and he said, " Yes." I then said, " Are you,
Jane Haswell, a single, unmarried woman ?" and she
said, " Yes." I the❑ asked Thomas Hardman if he
took Jane Haswell to be his lawful wife, and he said,
" Yes." I then asked Jane Haswell if she took
Thomas Hardman to be her lawful husband, and she
said, " Yes." I then told Thomas Hardman to put a
ring on her finger; and he having done so, I asked
them if they declared themselves to be man and wife
before God n d the wittpesses, and they said " Yes."
This ia a usual form of marriage in Scotland.
Cross-examined by Mr. PohLocx—My place is
called Alison's Toll-bar. I am nearer Carlisle than
Mr. Linton's, the original blacksmith. I have mar-
ried for seven years, at the rate of about 400 couples
a year. They generally take a little whiskey both
before find after the marriage,
Alexander Downie—l am a writer at Dumfries.

[ have heard the evidence given by the last witness.
['hat is a perfectly good marriage, according to the
law of Scotland.

Mr. PoLLocI addressed the jury for the prisoner,
contending that, from the evidence of Jane Haswell,
the prisoner had been drinking on the morning of the
marriage h t Gretna, and was not hi a state to render
any contract made by him binding.
His LORDSHIP having suin.ned up, the jury re-
turn,A a verdict of Gubty.—Sentence deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Samuel Lourio, Bernard Gordon, and Loderick
Faderman, underwent a long examination on Tuesday
evening before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of
having engraved plates in imitation of the plates used
by the Imperial Bank of Russia, with which notes are
struck off for issue, and with having prepared the
spurious notes with intent to defraud the Russian
Government.

Mr. Clarkson attended for the Emperor of Russia,
instructed by Mr. Peachy, from Messrs. Oliverson
and Co., Old Jewry; Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Norton at-
tended for the prisoners.
Mr. Clarkson, who had produced upon the first
examination of the prisoners as much evidence as he
considered to be necessary to justify a remand, went
upon the present occasion into a full detail of the
circumstances of the case. He prefaced his statement
by representing that the law considered as guilty
those who committed, through the instrumentality of
an innocent person, an illegal act, without at all in-
volving the latter, although aware of the fraudulent
intention of the persons accused. He then, in the
clearest manner, described the whole progress of
the work, and called Mr. Feger, from whose evidence
we select what was not adduced upon the first exa-
mination, and which was as follows :—I first saw
Gordon 18 months ago, when he came and gave me
an order to prepare cards for him. On the same
evening I saw Lourio and Gordon, and the latter
said he did not like to see any young man about, and
that the business must be transacted with me alone.
In engraving a plate of this description there are
various branches of the trade engaged, and I employed
several assistante, Four. plates were necessary (be-
sides .the numbering on either side of the bottom in
the arclee) to complete the note. Lourio and Gordon
paid me three half-crowns to buy the copper before I
saw Federman, whom they called the " gentleman."
I received no other money until September, when
they said the gentleman had arrived, but I had asked
before, and they made excuses. In the middle of
that month I received from Lourio, in the presence
of Gordon' a blue five-rouble note, that I might
engrave a fee-simile of the back for a ten•rouble
note, and after that order was finished I was to have
a good order for the blue. When Lourio gave me
the five rouble note, he made a comparison
with an eyeglass of the back of the ten-rouble note,
to see if they were the same. 'When I entered the
house in which Federman was, they appeared to
shield me from the observation of any one, and locked
the door of the room in which we were. There was
a rumbling in the next room, and they looked in,
and sent down a woman who was making the bed.
After some conversation, I said, " When the plates
were finished I should go into the country, take the
plates with me, and there work off the notes." On
the 29th of September I took to the lodging of
Federman, at Kennington, the print of the front
plate, with the writing and the arms on it. I showed
it to all the prisoners, who handed it to a foreigner
who was with them, and held it up to the light of
the candle to see if the watermark was right, and
they appeared satisfied, and spoke to me about taking
a house in the country. On the 12Th of October
Lourio and Gordon came again to me, and gave me
1/. to pay a deposit for a press which we had been
looking at, and about a fortnight afterwards they gave
me 41. 145., and told me to add 65. to it and

Mr. Clarkson stated that Mr. Feger hid acted with
a great deal of judgment and discretion in applying,
the moment he discovered the intentions of the pri•
soners to be fraudulent, to his s,licitors, Messrs.
Wire and Chill, and acting exactly according to
their advice. The Learned Counsel requested that the
prisoners might be remanded from time to time until
the arrival of the necessary witm:s<es from Russia.
The LORD Mayon acquiesced, and remanded the
prisoners till Tuesday next.
It is said the amount of the whole miss of notes, if
they all got into circulation, would exceed 150,000/,
