spirit and meaning of the above quotation

I'aletot 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 for either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner
lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most com-
for ta,le reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is

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 far morning
wear, as a aiding or Walking Coat ; and as, far 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, 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 immedlatelely comprehending what is
wanted.

Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL,4
MORNIA G COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and which ears be had in London only of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,
116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other

.:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
A caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should lot be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

Livzstroot., 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
there are only moderate quantities of wheat and Egyptian
beans ; but rather large of Indian corn and jour. The ex-
ports in the same time amount to 1,052 quarters of wheat, 7,104
quarters of Indian corn, 1,240 barrels o, corn meal, 329 sacks
and 3.032 barrels of flour. The trade hay been rather firmer
for wheat, and several parcels of good useful red have been
taken to hold over, at the extreme prices of that day. Flour
was likewise fully as dear, without 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 reqaest, and 6d per
quarter dearer. At this day's market 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 25, 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, arid
the value nominal.
LEEDS, Maacts 6.—There was a good supply of wheat at
market to-day, and many captains having brought samples, the
trade ruled dull. Beth wheat. and barley must be quoted Is
per quarter lower than last Tuesday. In eats and beans no
alteration.

"TIM GUARDIANS OF THIS HOLBOIN AND CIIEL-
SEA UNIONS e. DROUET."—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 Bench, on the ground that en un-
fair prejudice bad been created in the case, and that from
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 be was of opinion that there
was no ground for the removal, and that the writ ought
not to issue. He should therefore discharge the applica-
tion. Order nisi discharged accordingly.
Tim CAPE OF GOOD 1101•13.-13 y 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 reconciling 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 CONSCIRINCBS.—FEREDOM OF CON-
SCIENCE AND THoueurr,—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 the world on all subjects. It was,
in short, the force of truth bursting the strongholds of error
and prejudice. James Morison, 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 studies, he resided at Riga, as a 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, 1810, 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 sons and successors :—" A thirty-
five years' inexpressible'suffering, both of body and mind, is an
event, too, which falls but 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 be met with, and a convinemg 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
years 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.
