THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
3IESSR3. NICOLL •is called NICOLL'S EIDER DQWN
PALETOT, such novelty consisting '.n 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 are found lit greatest numbers in Iceland and the Ferr
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to be
proof agahist the most severe cold, and even the small quanta,
which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wig
serve in the formation of a Palettlt, which, while it has most extra-
ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the finest
and thickest blanket, the great desidera urn for a winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.
Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and
retail warerooms,
111, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL,
London.

THE NICOLL is the distinguishing name given
to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from
general imitation. It has all the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S
original invention, the REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA
CLOTH. The NICOLL:PA.LETOTS are char.;el Ono, Two, Three,
and Three-and a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur-
pose for which they may be required,
114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET ; also 22, CORNIIILL
facing the Exchan;,e.

THE SEAL FUR PALETOT
The mostly nature of the material will necessarily conflis
the use of this garment to a Select few ; but he who can afford thi
expense will pronounce it to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and
lulu lons article of dress that can possibly to conceived. Messrs.
NICOLL will, however, continue to supply ,he SEAL FUR
PALETOT at its present moderate pric —that is to say, so long as
the demand does nut interfere with the supply ; fur it must be
borne In mind that the number of Seal Skins in t ,e English market
is very limited—at least such as are capable of a taptAtion to the
present purpose, that of being formed into the graceful garment
called NICOLL'S PALETJT. Registered 6 and 7 Vic.. cap, 65.
An early inspection and purchase would, therefore, be desirable.

doubtless form a most acceptcble gift at the approaching season of
festivity, when it is somewhat difieult to select the best token of
friend Ship or affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment
will render it highly serviceable for coverin a evening costume
without causing the least disarrangement ; and" from tile peculiarity
of the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea-
suroasent being taken, as merely some slight description of height or
appearance will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, at the cost of SIX GUINEAS, and which may
fairly be described as one of the best preservatives of health ever yet
introduced to the public.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,

Constitution, which is duly registered to terms of the Act, from dis
,Arting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALT' PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
.remiams. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first live years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquisked at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimaalred, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER ,H IP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered frOm
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
Austen
No Admissioa or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
.he assured life.

REGENERATOR. _ _

If .you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist a druggist, or perfumer, an Ils.
bottle of Griinstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his ller-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, bywhora it is h4lily appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set firth in an advertisement, but may be read Wallis
pamphlet, in which the bottles arc miclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, iligheate, and wig be found at page 11, un!er the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7.h
of August, 1t46.

This pamphlet N forwarded through the pout, on receiving two
postage stamps.

The Arotnatic Itemerator can be forwarded through the poet on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7z. Sd., or which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The I ls. size contains four of the 4s.
A few cf its many virtues, as thousands can prove, aro published
In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar et, Nervous Heailach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Staman, tlodfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, a sq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1523. This was
on account el' its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor randy. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They

liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression
after meals, Oiddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will weedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strengths, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

managing this matter must be careful, or they will raise
a feeling against the project which, notwithstanding the
excellence of the idea itself, and the machinery which
has been cleverly put into motion, will yet wreck it. It
is the subject of considerable discati,fection, very gene-
rally expressed, that appointmt nts at Jarge salaries are
being made, and that the contract for the enction of the
temporary builiing is actually entered into with a builder,
without the concurrence or know], dge of the public, cr

CAMBRI :N LITERARY SOCIETY.

A conversazionc, designed to further the interest;
of this institution, was held on Tuesday evening, at the
Clarence Hotel, Aldersgttes almost directly -opposite
the ro nns of the society. The friende of the Princi-
pality; of both. saxes, assembled in considerab!e
numbers. After partaking of tea and coffee, the 3
adjourned to a spacious room, where, at half past
seven, the chair was taksn by G. C. Lewis, &q.
M.P., and 'Under-Secretary of Ste'e, who was sup-
ported by Mr. J. S. Knowles, (the dramatist), the
Rev. Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen.
The CIIAIRAI AN observed that the institution hail
originated in a desire to provide a place 'of intellec
tual meeting for persons cousins, from Wales, who
might otherwise be exposed to the temptations of the
metropolis; and although its couitnencement had been
unambitious, he trusted it would combine the
.ener-
gies of a great number of persons for a common and
most beneficial end. The object was to afford in•
struction by means of the reading of publications, and

,—( Hear.) With regard to the
cultivation of the .Welsh language;
to disparage that ancient tongue, he must say, that
although it comprised many poems cf undoubted anti-
quity, it was not at the present time what could be pro;
1 perly termed a literary language. It was not the lan•
,
guage of the current literature of the day—of the
laws, or of -government. No foreigner acquired it
with view of studying Welsh literature;or of con •
vetting in Welsh. In saying this he -Was` far ' from
wishing to wound the sensibilities of
.any %Vehh
gentleman whose patriotism %1113 bound up with the
language of his native country. The Welsh language
was, in truth, in the same position as many other lan-
guages lin the British Isles and on the continent of
Europe They all knew that the Gaelic was spikes, in the
highlands and islands of Scotland and in some parts of
Ireland. In Belgium the upper classes fo: the most
part spoke French, while the Flemish tongue was the
language of the people in one part of Belgium, and
the Walloon in another part. In Malta the language
of the Government and of the upper classes of society
was Italian, whereas the lower classes spoke an
Arabic dialect—a relic of the Saracenic occupa-
tion of that island. His object in making these
allusions was to show that the case of the
Welsh people was by no means a solitary one.
Wherever such a state of things existed, however, it
Pt

constituted a barrier between different classes of so-
ciety, and those who spoke what he would term. the
nonliterary language exclusively were necessarily
impeded in their career in life. Howevsr great
might be their industry or their abilities, they were,
to a certain extent, kept in that class of society in
which they were born.—(hear, hear.) Whilst he
-could not advocate the extinction of the Welsh lan-
guage, he must say, with great deference to the
assembly, that he considered it a misfortune to any
person to have been educated exclusively in Welsh,
and to possess no knowledge of the language of the
purarts sno. establishingmylieoes
current literature, of the laws, and of government.
The diffusion of the English language would conduce
to the welfare of those who acquired it, would tend
to unite the different classes of society, and to throw
down the barriers which separated the rich and the
P 7 oor and would give to all, whatever might be their
station in life, a fair chance of realizing their own
best interests. He hoped that whenever natives of
Wales who resided in London visited the Principality
they would take occasion to urge upon those of their
countrymen with whom they came in contact the
advantage of cultivating, as far as practicable, the
English language, and of assisting in the removal of
the barrier to success created by an exclusive ac-
quaintance with the Welsh.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY then read a report setting forth
the advantages presented by the institution in terms
substantially the same as those employed by the
Chairman. ,

The Rev. Mr. JONES, incumbent of All Saints,
Rotherhithe, moved the adoption of the report in the
uival form, and remarked that although the lower
glasses in Wales were undoubtedly deficient in gene-
ral literature, they were nearly all excellent divines,
and were well acquainted with the Bible.
Mr. J. S. KNOWLES hoped that Welshmen would
not forget the advice of the Chairman, not to love
their language too well —(Hear, hear.) Having
travelled in Wales, he had found the people incon-
veniently prejudiced in favour of their own language.
—(Laughter.) He admitted that the prejudice was
a patriotic one, but he could desire in future the
English language might always be taught in con-
juncti..n with the Welsh.—(Hear, hear) He re.
juiced to see the establishment of that institution.
Next in importance to the love of the Creator was the
duty of cultivating the faculties which his boundless
munificence had bestowed.— (Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and, unanimously
adopted.
Mr. FERGUSON moved the following:—" That this
meeting approves of the efforts made by the com-
mittee of management to extend the usefulness of the
society, and fully concurs in recommending that ap
plication be made to Welshmen generally, soliciting
their cooperation in carrying out so desirable an
object."
Mr. EDWARDS, in seconding the resolution, re-
marked that it was almost impossib'.e to cure the evil
pointed out by the Chairman by extinguishing the
Welsh language, which would probably last for
hundreds of years, and that the most effectual mode
of promoting the eventual diffusion of the English
tongue, which he admitted to be an object of great
importance, was to afford instruction in Welsh on a
more liberal and extended scale, by which means the
tone of the Welsh mind would be more assimilated to
that of the English mind, and a general desire for
improvement would be created.

The resolution was then adopted.
Other speeches, partly in Welsh, followed, and the
occasion proved on the whole a most interesting one.

TUB DEFALCATION IN THE ROCHDALE..,SAVINCie
BAND.--It has been discovered that Mr. 11.1W*th, the
deceased actuary, did enter the grOSs amonntst7of 411
deposits made in a rough cash book,- from - which
various accounts were afterwards transferred, some'to
the regular banking books and others to his oWn privalc
records. This rough cash-book never went before the
auditors, but its discovery will materially assist the com-
mittee of investiption which is now sitting at the bank,
as the pre, umptiou is that the pass-books of the deposi-
tors, which are being daily ssnt in, will agree with it in
every particular. Mr. Tidd Pratt was expected in
Rochdale this (Thursday) mo:ning, when .he will give
his opinion as to the legal liability of the trustees to
make up the deficiency. It is generally believed that
they,, not legally liable under tho circumstances,
since the Act was materially modified in 1834. 8., that
as it may, however, it is just to them to state that, es a
body, they feel very strongly upon the matter, many having
expressed their desire to come forward boldly and meet
the deficiency at once. We believe, therefore, that the
depositors need be under no apprehension of ultime.,.e
loss We Intl repeat that the defalcation,-as far as can
be at present ascertained, is about 37,0001,; while the
asstti of Mr. Haworth are—a life policy for 3,0001.; the
Castleton mill, probably worth 1-1,0000 a security bond
of .500/.; and cottage property of the annual value
of 150/.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A casualty of a most sin-
gul4r and melancholy nature occurred on Thursday
evening to one of the crew of the ship Rienz', bound for
Valparaiso. The Rienzi had been lying in the Birken-
head Docks, taking in a cargo of coal and firebricks.
As she became laden she began to draw too much water,
and was heuled into the river, where she was moored
midway between Liverpool and the Cheshire shore, op-
posite to the Seucombe slip, to receive the residue of her
cargo. About a quarter past six o'clock, on the evening
of the day mentioned, the second mate, a fine-built,
good-hearted young fellow, about 25 years of age, those
name, we believe, is De Brasey, accompanied the tug
steamer Queen to superintend the operation of putting
on board a quantity of stowage and taking in provisions.
The night was somewhat rough. Dc Brasey stood upon
the paddle-box of the steamer as she lay alongside the
ship, and held a lantern containing a lighted candle.
Suddenly the light disappeared, and it was found that
the unfortunate young man had fallen from, the paddle-
box into the water, between the ship and the steamer.
The -machinery of the latter had been thrown out of
gear, but the paddle-wheels wore in motion, occasioned
by the Action of the water upon them, us it was blowing
fresh and the ti le flawing strongly at the time. Active
measures were immediately resoited to by the hands on
board to render as,istance to their unfortunate bhipmat o.
It was found that he had got jammel between the end
of the fl eeS of the wheel and the side of the steamer.
It was a considerable time Mere he could be extricated,
and that not until some of the wood work had been cut
away, at which time ho was quite dead. The deceased
was dreadfully crushed about the legs and lower part of
the trunk.—Liverpool courier.
