THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
MESSRS. NICOLL is called NTCOLL'S EIDER DQWN
PALETOT, such novelty consisting In the adaptation of Eider Down
to the several purposes of wearing apparel, but more particularly in
the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and
utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved.
Eiders arc found in greatest numbers in Iceland and the Fern Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to bil
proof
which ca against the most severe cold, and even the small y
n be compressed and concealed between the two hanqds,uantit wilt
serve in the formation of a Palet4t, which, while it has most extra-
ordinary lightness, has, „jievertlieless, more warmth than the tines%
and thickest blanket, the great desideratum for a winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.
Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and
retail rcarerooms,
114, 116, and 120, REGENT. STREET, and 22, coarnirLL,
Lon:on.

THE NICOLL is the distinguishing name givin
to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from
general imitation. It has all the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S
original levention, the REGISTERED PALETOT •f LLAMA
CLOTH. The NICOLLTALETOTS are char;e•l One, Two, Three,
and Three-and. a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur-
posetor which they may be required,

(acing the Exekanze.

rip LIE SEAL FUR PALETOT
The costly nature of the material will necessarily confine
the use of this garment to a select few ; but he who can afford the
expense will pronounce it•to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and
luxurious article of dress that can possibly be conceited. Messrs.
NICOLL will, however, continue to supply the SEAL FUR
PALETOT at its present moderate price—that is to say, so long as
the demand does net interfere with the supply; for it must be
borne in mind that the number of Seal Skins in tke
English market
is very limited—at least such as are capable of a taptatiou to the
present purpose, that of being formed into the graceful garment
called NICOLL'S PALETOT. Registered 6 and 7 Vie., cap, 65.
An early inspection and purchase would, therefore, he desirable.

CHRISTMAS.—One of the new patented inven-
tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWif PALETOT will
doubtless form a most acceptable gift at the approaching, reason of
festivity, when it is somewhat difficult to select the best token of
friendship or affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment
will render it highly serviceable for covering an evening costume
without causing the ldast di,arraugement ; and from the peculiarity
of the formation of tire whole it precludes the necessity for any mea-
surement being taken, as merely some slight descriptions of height or
appearance will n-uftice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER
DOWN PILETOT, at the cost of SIX (IUINEAS, and which may
fairly be described as one of the best preservatives of health ever Set

THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.
MENAI STRAITS, MONDAY ArrEnNoorr.--Another
misadventure in the means whereby the second great
tube was to have been moored off occurred to-day,
but with no untoward attendants. Precisely at ten
o'clock, when all persona engaged in the grand opera-
tion were at their posts, and the signals had been sent
out to the various stations, one of the great eight-
inch thick cables, reaching from the pontoons to tho
opposite shore, and the duty of which was to give the
first impulse to the transport of the stupendous mass,
suddenly snapped asunder. On a minute examina-
tion of the severed cable a conclusion was come to
that the bawling line had been maliciously cut by
some miscreants. Owing to the rapidity of the tide
there was no time to cast out another cable; the pre-
caution, unfortunately, of a second rope of the same
kind, in case of casualty, not having been provided.
It was forthwith announced to the multitude that the
operation would come off to-morrow, at the same
hour.

The preliminary operations, which are necessarily
on a large scale, were unavoidably going on during
Sunday. Yesterday nothing could have been more
favourable for carrying out the great operation ;
mon; VCIC W CIS A lIV. 1118 LILICAJI cisin,vvaa
to-morrow it will be five inches less. Should the
operation not he practicable on Tuesday or Wednes-
day, it is prob Able it will have to be delayed for two
or three weeks, as the state of the tide will not be in
its favour.

Amongst the engineers present were Mr. St4.ben-
son, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Rendel, Mr. Bidder, Captain
Claxton, Mr. Edwin Clink, Mr. I,2timer Clark, and
Mr. Forster.

Owing to the notict-s which had been previously
given to the mariners and harbour masters that the
navigation wculd be stopped on Sunday and Monday,
many sail of vessds anchored below Telford's chain-
bridge, about a mile distant from that of the Bri-
tannia, which, like the suspension-bridge, as well as
every house at hand, exhibited the national colours,
at procry, the! Straits are f,tulded with a variety of
telegrap'.-iic signals, or letters, intended as guides
to all engaged in the various movements of the im-
mense mass.

The important process of what is called testing the
strength of the tube has been attended with gratit) frig
results. Loads, equal to the weight of tvlo or three
ordinary g-ods and p...ssonger trains havtt been put upon
it, when it was found that the deflection was only to
the extent of a few inches, and that even this was not
permanent. Oa the removal of the superincumbwrit
load it was restored to within a quarter of an inch.
It is calculated that the maximum weight of an ex-
traordinary railway train would give a presuire of

460 tons, -distributed over the surface of each of the
tube sections of this rigid roadway, and that they are
:absolutely able to bear 4000 tons over the surface,
and 2,000 tons in the centre. A train freighted to
its full extent, and s'ationary in the entire tube,
woul,l give a pressure of about six tons per square inch.
Each tube will be al wass subjected to a permanent
load of half its own weight, and the permanent way
upon it, consisting of the rails and sleepers for the
trains, will be equ*.l to about 650 tons.
