" 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
Paletot or outer coat, adapted 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 fir either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner
lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most com-
foitable reading or dressing Jacket ; aid though the tout ensemble is
rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from ens
and 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.

THE REGISTERED PALETOT
(6 and 7 Vict., Cap. 65)
of Nicellian or Llama Cloth, as adapted for the approaching Spring
by Messrs. NICOLL, who are the ORIGINAL INVENTORS, and
continue to be honoured with the patronage of their Royal High-
nesses PRINCE ALBERT, PRINCE GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE,
PRINCE EDWARD of SAXE WEIMAR, his Grace the DUKE of
WELLINGTON, and all others distinguished in rank and fashion,
the Court, the Pulpit and the Bar.
The above is now produced in the richest and best manner, con-
taining all the new and patented improvements for the extremely
moderate price of Two Guineas, to be had in London only of
and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, and IN, REGENT-STREET, er 22,
CORNIIILL.

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 for morning
wear, as a Riding or 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 cutter not immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.
Although composed of the NICOLLIAIC CLOTH, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
MORNING COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and which ran be had in London only of 11. J. and 1). NICOLL, 114,
116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

PENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
I,Y The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestably proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., Gs., and 10s.
per bottle.
To be had of the Proprietors, 29, Nottingham-place, Fieldgate-
street, Whiteshapel-road, London ; also of Mr. Johnstone, 68, Corn-

A R R IA G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the fernier, and miscalculated hopes em-
later the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eonsprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour end justice demand that health should forra ea item
In !rue compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wennd more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
SIEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., is.
each (by post, in stamps, le. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively '
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ny misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to worth hom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put fon
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
attic, publications claim your attention (same price
.Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and "How to be Nappy." They are not merely
pqmphlets, but equal in quantity a library volnme, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life,whe owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims ke would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works nay be had of

CALIFORNIAN GOLD.—Mr. Naughton, goldsmith,
Church-street, has received, says the* Inverness Courier,
from a friend in Liverpool, through the post, a small quan-
tity of soil from California, which is strongly impregnated
with gold, and confirms the reports previously received.
The earth came to Liverpool attached to the roots of
plants brought from the coast, but not from the gold
regions ; but it goes to show that the whole soil of Cali-
fornia is full of small particles of the precious dust. The
earth is of a deep red colour, and the gold occurs in it
in minute grains and flakes.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Cona-

mon Jury.)
RASPESSON v. PECK.

This was an action upon a bond or agreement to re-
cover the sum of 2001. A number of pleas were put
upon the record, but the most material one was that the
agreement in question bad been obtained from the de-
fendant by fraud and misrepresentation.
Sergeant Shee and Mr. Clarke were for the plaintiff;
Sergeant Channell and Mr. Deedes for the defendant.
The circumstances under which this action was
brought were of rather a peculiar character. It appeared
that a Mr. Anthony Peck, the father of the defendant,
had been possessed of some land and other property
at Gravesend, which passed into the possession of the
defendant, and had been so in his possession for a
great number of years. Mr. Anthony Peck bad four
children, William, the defendant, Anthony, Samuel,
and a daughter named Susannah, who, it appeared,
had married the present plaintiff. Some time is last
year the South-Eastern Railway Company required the
property in question, for the purpose of making a portion
of their line, and they agreed to give 1,800/. for it; and
it seems that about this time the plaintiff, in right of his
wife, first set up a claim to a portion of the property. An
attorney at Gravesend, named Bowditch, made applica-
tion to the defendant in his behalf, alleging that some
will was in existence by which his sister Susannah was
entitled to a share of the property, and these applica-
tions, it would appear, were handed over to Mr. Mat-
thews, the defendant's attorney, who resisted the claim,
and informed Mr. -Bowditch that there was no founda-
tion for it; and things continued in this state until the
company were nearly ready to pay over the money to
the defendant, and then it aPPeared that. Mr. Bowditch
sent them a formal notice not do and on the notice
he set out a clause, in a supposed will of Mr. Anthony
Peck, by which he left the property to the defendant in
trust, to be equally divided among all his children, share
and share alike. The company, upon receiving this notice,
immediately made the necessary inquiries through their
solicitor, and the result was, that they could not discover
the existence of any will or any document in support
of the claim that was set up on behalf of the plaintiff,
and on the Ist of May they gave notice to Mr. Bow-
ditch, that if he did not within one month either pro-
duce the will, or show by some other evidence that the
plaintiff had any legal claim, they should not pay any at-
tention to the notice that had been sent them, but should
at once complete the purchase. This was on the Ist of
May, and it was shown that after this Mr. James, a
gentleman who was acting as attorney for the com-
pany, told Mr. Bowditch distinctly that the company
did not believe there was any foundation for the claim
that had been set up by the plaintiff, and that unless
the will referred to was produced, they should pay the
money. It was then alleged that on the 30th of May
the attorney for the plaintiff, Mr. Bowditch, went to
the house of the defendant, who, it appeared, is an
old man of seventy, and he there produced the notice
that had been sent by the company, telling him that
unless he came to some terms he would be involved in
an expensive Chancery suit ; and the defendant upon
that occasion consented to give two hundred pounds to
his sister, provided the notice to the company not to pay
the money was withdrawn, and the agreement in ques-
tion was then drawn up. It appeared that Mr. Bowditch
concealed altogether from the knowledge of the defen-
dant that the Company would not give any credit to the
claim that had been set up, and had determined to pay
the money, notwithstanding it had been made, and this,
it was contended, amounted to obtaining the agreement
by fraud.
Mr. Sergeant CuANNELL, in addressing the jury for
the defendant, commented severely upon the conduct of
the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Bowditch, in obtaining such
an instrument from the defendant, and said there was no
doubt he had done so by alarming him with the prospect
of an expensive Chancery suit, and by concealing from
him the real position of affairs, and that the company
gave no credit to the claim that he had set up on be-
half of the plaintiff, and intended to pay the money with-
out any reference to it; and he submitted that these facts
made out the plea that the instrument had been obtained

by fraud.
Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, left two questions
to the jury, the first was, whether they considered the
conduct of Mr. Bowditch supported the plea that the
agreement had been obtained by fraud from the defend-
ant; and secondly, whether, supposing the agreement had
been voluntarily given by the defendant, the condition
prescribed in it of withdrawing the notice to the com-
pany not to pay the money, bad been fulfilled.
The jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a
verdict for the defendant upon both the points left to
them by the Learned Judge.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
William Parker was indicted for uttering a forged 51.
note, at Lichfield, on the 13th of January, with intent to
defraud John Wakefield and the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England.
The prisoner, it appeared, called at an inn kept by
Mr. Wakefield, and had some conversation with him
about a horse he had to sell. The prisoner represented
himself as a maltster at Tamworth, and wished to take
the horse in exchange for some malt. Mr. Wake-
field, however, refused, preferring money to malt. This
was on the 29th of December. On the day named in
the indictment he again paid a visit to Mr. Wake-
field's. He stayed there nearly an hour, and obtained
change for a five pound note. He left the house
hastily, not paying for some liquor he had partaken
of, which, coupled with other circumstances excited
the suspicion of Mrs. Wakefield, who went to the
bank with the note, and Mr. Grimes, the clerk,
at once declared it to be a forgery. Pursuit was made
after the prisoner, who was found entering the Robin
Hood with another man. The police officer told him
the charge against him, end that he must search him,
on which he became very violent, fighting, kicking, and
resisting in every way he could. He was, however,
overpowered, when five sovereigns, 3s. 6d. in silver, and
a 101. Bank of England note were found on him, which
was also a spurious one.
Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced him to be transported
for 15 years, and ordered the five sovereigns to be given
to Mr. Wakefield.
Joseph Spellman,
19, was indicted for a similar offence,
at Walsall, on the 30th of January.
There were other charges against the prisoner, who
was convicted and sentenced to be transported for 15
years.
The grand jury this afternoon ignored the bill pre-
ferred against Maria Lightfoot, for the murder of her
husband, William Lightfoot, by poison, at Kingswin-
ford, on the 15th of July last, contrary to the general
expectation that her trial would end in a condemnation.

the reign of Edward L, to the party through whom he
claims. The defendants have three largo mills at some
distance from the river, and to which they have laid two
culverts, the one to supply fater from the river to the
steam-engine on the works, of between 400 and 500-
horse power, and the other to take back the heated water
to the river. This, for the plaintiff, was contended to be
an interruption of the flow of tne river, and an infringe-
ment of his ancient right. For the defendant it was
contended that they returned more water to the river
than they took, and the plaintiff was not injured. After
the case had lasted many hours, it was compromised by
the defendants undertaking to return, and to be subject
to inspection, as much water $s they took from the river.
John Hurst, captain of the steamer Lion, trading
between Hull and Hamburgb, was indicted under the Bth

Keys, a Custom-house officer, while in the discharge of
his duty.
By the statute in question ships are required to report
their cargoes within 24 hours after their arrival in port.
The Lion returned to Hull on May 9, 1848, with a cargo
of oxen and various goods. In the cabin were two rose-
wood tables, which the captain omitted to report, whether
through negligence or intentionally did not sufficiently
appear. By law this omission subjected the goods to
seizure, and the Custom-house officer, Mr. Keys, being
