THE NICOLL, REGENT- STREET and
CORNHILL.
The NICOLL.—This is the Trade Mark and distinctive Title
given to a Patented OUTER COAT, or PAI,ErroT, in which there
is a double use and purpose ; in other words, the same garment can
be used as a warm Winter .Outer Coat, and again converted into a
light Walking Paletot, by simply removing a warm interlining,
which is attached or detached easily, and in a manner most novel
and ingenious.

The NICOT.L, or the Two Garments (above-mentioned) incor-
porated in One, is charged at the moderate price of Three Guineas.
Indeed, if the contemplated Sale of Thousands be not effected, the
Patentees will lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low
prices new quoted. _ _ _

Messrs. NICOLL are the Originators and Sole Proprietors of the
deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic.
cap. 65) of Llama Cloth. and they continue to be honoured with the
patronage of their Royal Highnesses 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.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, LITERARY, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS will, it is presumed, readily concede
-their patronage upon this New and Patented Invention, as also
Merchants and Railway Traveller', who are subject to colds, &c.,
arising trom the fluctuations in a climate like that of Great Britain,
IT here, even in the most settled weather, at this season, a warm coat
ie universally used during mornings and evenings, but at mid-day,
fr can the active habits and avocations of all classes, a light Walking
P:tictot is indispensable.
..RAILWAY TRAVELLERS will find great convenience In its
Pc tkot Protector, which effectually preserves from loss tho railway
ticket, loose cash, &c., besides a peculiar comfort for Night Travel-
ling,. which must be seen and worn to be appreciated.

Tito Country Agents for the New Patents are the same highly re-
spectable firms wh• have of late years held the appointments direct
from the Patentees in London.

CAUTION.—The NICOLL —Any person or persons using the
Same, or a similar title, or trade mark, whereby the Public may be
deceived, will be proceeded against, as by in,;unction of the High
Court of Chancery, &c. ; as also by the infringement of the principle
claimed in the Royal Letters Patent, granted to the unlersigned,
which mainly consists in the adaptation of the linings of Coats,
Paletots, &c., to a separate use and purpose, &c.

ri 0R T Y-E IGIIT and FORTY-NINE
-IL' Another most eventful year
Has ended its disturbed career.
Time's clock has struck —the act is o'er,
And Forty-eight is now no more.
Scarce had the dawn of Forty-eight
Been signalled by the dial-plate,
When round all Europe, like a cloud,
Dread elements were seen to crowd.
Not only did our own blest isle
Lose, for a time, its peaceful smile ;
Not only did the Briton hear,
The fearful note of " Caner sear ;"
But every throne was seen to rock
Beneath the social earthquake's shock.
The mighty nation of the Gaul
(A scene more terrible than all),
Beheld a king forsake his throne,
And seek a country not his own.
Ah ! hapless France! thy land hath been
A terrible—a fearful scene!
Adown thy streets where armed men rode,
Thy people's blood hath freely flowed;
While nearly all the civil world
In dread confusion has been hurled.
Few years have seen events so great,
Se marvellous as Forty-eight ;
But happily we still retain
Victoria's unmolested reign.
Though civil broils awhile were heard,
Oar realm is now no long, stirred.
Peace is restored—Britannia smiles.
And order reigns throughout the isles.
Commerce and trade once more revive,
And promise speedily to thrive.
MOSES and SON rejoice to say
That still their Mart retains its sway ;
While palaces and thrones decayed,
They still were monarchs of the trade.
MOSES and SON, amid the stir,
Are firmer than tbey ever were;
And like Victoria, they can say,
They grow in confidence each day.
Nor have they ever had to fear
The changes of the by one year.
MOSES and SON, in Forty-eight,
Have met with favours more than great ;
And multitudes have lent their aid
In every branch of MOSES' trade.
They feel their gratitude is due
For trading favours ever new.
And action—better far than word—
Shall liquidate the debt incurred.
MOSES and SON, the coming year,
In brighter coleurs will appear ;
While all their energies combine
In signalising Forty-nine.
Their efforts to exceed the past,
Throughout the ensuing year shall last.
They could a trading tale disclose
Surpassing far what you suppose.
The capital at their command
Shall place them on a hieher stand;
A thousand benefits shall show
Thanks for the favours you bestow.
MOSES and SON will prove to you
What trading enterprise can do.
While quality and price combine
To claim your aid for Forty-nine.
In all the garments you may wear,
rnst ro
ovs anemants shall be brought to bear.

And coming to a climax here,

They wish their patrons, far and
A happy and a prosperous year.
