NICOLL'S PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH
registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 6b. Patronised by the Prince
Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, Sae.
This overcoat recommends itself to the Public generally by its
peculiar elasticity and lightness, moderate price, and able defence
against the almost constant humidity of the climate of Great Britain.

DEAFNESS.—Dr. SCOTT'S curious HEAR-
ING INSTRUMENT, which has been so favourably reviewed
by the Periodical Press, is now submitted to general inspection (with
the various reports made thereon) at Mr. Llewelyn's Medical Re-
pository, 369, Strand, the third house from Exeter Hall; where its
extraordinary properties may be tested by the public at large, and its
singular power of rendering conversation comfortably and distinctly
audible, even to the deafest ear, proved to the satisfaction of any per-
son afflicted with defective hearing.
fl OLDEN FLAX LINKIsI and CAMBRIC
lOr (stamped by the Manufacturevitilen be OBTAINED at the
REGISTERED SHIRT WAREIIOI3M, 42, REGENT-CIRCUS,
PICCADILLY, LONDON.
The Proprietor begs to announce that he has entered into arrange-
ments with the manufacturers of this beautiful fabric, so that, not-
withstanding its increasing demaisd, he has no hesitation in stating
that he will be in possession of a sufficient quantity to answer all the
demands of his patrons.
The Proprietor further begs to state that the Registered Shirt, for
which he has obtained so much celebrity, will be wholly composed of
this linen, exaepting where the preference is given to the fronts,
collars, and Wrstbands being only of linen, in which case such will
also be made of the golden flax. And in submitting the Registered
Shirt to the public, he feels desirous to explain that no absurd novelty
is therein introduced, but that be has succeeded in connecting the
easy looseness so necessary to this garment with a plain smooth-
setting front, which it retains during the whole of the time in wear,
and does not rise in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of
the body—the common appearance, it will be allowed, of this
hitherto much-neglected, yet most essential article of dress. No
grinding wages, no system of starvation pursued, but remunerative
prices are paid for work ; thus are concentrated in the Registered
Shirt a superior fit, good work, and purity of material—toe latter a
great advantage of itself, as those portions of this garment which are
seen presenting a beautiful snow-white appearance, being the pecu-
liar property of the Golden Flax Linen and Cambric.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALLS--YESTERDAT.
The Great Metropolitan Stake was fairly launched yester-
day afternoon, and, with Auricula, on the strength of her
running at Northampton, as first favourite, will, we have not
the slightest doubt, prove a fruitful source of speculation.
In addition to Auricula, we may instance Peasant, Lyons,
and My Mary, as having been conspicuously in favour, and
from the disposition shown to back them in several quarters,
we are led to expect that our next quotations will be
favourable to their supporters. Lord Saltoun, Corranna,
Satyr, and Killi Krankie were also backed, but only to small
amounts. The Chester betting was limited, and without the
slightest effect on the prices. The only bets that came to
our kno Aledge on the Derby were 1,300 to 100, 650 to 50,
and 12 to 1 against Brocardo, 1,000 to 20 against lapis
Fatuus, and 2,000 to 35 against Arkwright. Two or three
trifling bets were laid on the Oaks.
