THE CATHEDRAL and the ABBEY ;
OR, THE RIVAL CITIES.
We poets claim the power of giving speech
To whatsoever lies within our reach ;
To us, it matters not a single jot,
Whether things be animate or not.
I mention this by way of an excuse
For what I'm now about to introduce.
'Twas twelve o'clock at night—and moon and star
Shone on the Cities crossed by Temple-bar,
When thus the Abbey of the olden time
Soliloquised aloud with midnight chime.
" Another day is measured by my hands,
And still Old Westminster unrivalled stands.
Proud, proud am I to hear my double tower
In this great seat of splendour, wealth, and power.
What is that boasted town beyond the Bar,
Compared with mine, whose scenes surpass it far ?"
" Stop," said St. Paul's, " beshrew that empty boast,
And think Which all the country value, most—
(Here the Cathedral gave another stroke,
And London echoed as the big bell spoke)—
Where's your Exchange, your Mansion-house, your Docks,
Your trading houses with their valued stocks?
You talk of what Old Westminster discloses,
But where's your ` Mart of Fashion'—where's your MOSES ?
Your venerable grey old towers I guess
Have seen no match for MOSES'
LONDON DRESS.
A h ! antiquited temple! if you saw
What thousands MOSES' Winter GannentS draw;
If you beheld how fine the dresses are.
At MOSES' Mart on this side Temple-bar.
If your old tower—the home of sleepy bats—
Viewed MOSES' far-famed House for
LONDON HATS,
Hats, touching which, it may be truly said,
That MOSES' Hats are always at the head'
If you beheld the
LONDON BOOTS AND SHOES,
Which thousands at the Mart of MOSES' choose ;
Could you but witness with your ancient dial
How MOSES' Boots and Shoes stand every trial;
And could you see their stock of
LONDON FURS,
In buying which, no purchaser demurs,
Furs for whose equal you would vainly search,
Except at MOSES' Shop, near Aidgate Church.
If from your ancient site you could but see
Their prime supplies of
LONDON HOSIERY.
If all the goods of MOSES you could view,
You would not vainly boast, r a now you do ;
But viewing what the princely House discloses,
You'd ask yourself the question—' Where's my MOSES ?'"

THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the
title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's
Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the
daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above
patent, and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the
name in full, through being more convenient to use.
THERE is a double use and purpose in the
NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMYS PALETOT, in other
words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat,
and will look equally well as a light Paletot (used in walking, &c.).
indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and
fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form
into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the
Nicoll, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in-
corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original
manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble
to the wearer.
A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments In one,
viz., Three Guineas.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all
readily concede their patronage to the new patented invention called
THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a
black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending
appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle-
men thus' engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a
variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes-
sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the
morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicoll is a garment that vt 111 provide for both contingencies.
TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS,
UNDERWRITERS, "&c., going to or returning from the
City, E s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn •
ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by
inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter
Paletot would then be desirable, as too often the ease, the said warm
coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in-
curred.
AILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the
Lilo NICOLL or PATENT CHLAMYS PALETOT to be indis-
pensable to their eeltnfort upon a journey for the five following
reasons :
First —lt is a warm overcoat.
Secondly—lt can be converted Into a light overcoat at the
journey's end.
Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an
ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly
concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and
most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or
hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, and neck from cold
draughts of air.
Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in-
dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c.
The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the
Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public,
consists in its moderate price, viz.. Three Guineas (to which add half
a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). Indeed, was not the sale of
thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be
fairly remunerated by the low prices quoted.
MESSRS. NICOLL are the originators and sole
proprietors of the deservedly well-known REGISTERED
PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic., c. 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 others distinguished in rank
and fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar.
AGENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII
those Firms throughout the various parts of the United King-
dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, have held a local
Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in-
vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the
appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual
conditions.
Gentlemen, Non-Residents in the Metropolis, are constantly de-
siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also
the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be
easily effected by means of public Advertisement, as a descrip-
tion of the number of inches around chest and waist (taken
under the coat) will alone suffice; but the names of all
the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous,
to be described through the same medium ; however, the address of
the nearest shall be immediatAy forwarded upon application to
Messrs. Nicoll's Counting House Department.
The following Agents have a very large variety of the above goods
always ready for inspection, viz. :
Messrs. Macdona, Molesworth-street, Dublin.
Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham.

CAUTION.—We, the undersigned, hereby declare
our intention to institute Legal Proceedings against any
person or persons who, after the date of this notice, shall make, or
cause to be made, any infringement upon the Patent granted to us
under the title of Improvements in Garments, Pockets, &c.
The said invention consists—Firstly, of a mode or modes of making
or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and,
secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and
other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part
may he roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer
Coats or Paletots, Sse., to a separate Garment and purpose; and, in
the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected
isy the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im-
mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal.
We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and
descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and
second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is
to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation
of the full title of the Nicoll Chlamys Paletot), and the second pail
is called "The Patent Pocket Protector ;" and further it is our in-
tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to
restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau-
thorised persons from applying either of these trade marks or terms
to other articles, or selling or offering for sale any garment, &c.,
being an infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending
to our injury and the deception of the public.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 13.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.)
His Lordship, being a good deal indisposed, did not
eke his seat till past 10 o'clock.
Thomas Hague (aged 28) and William Wilson (35),
were indicted for burglary, and stealing from the house
of IL H. Rosenberg, at Sheffield, on the 3d of August
last, five half crowns and ten shillings.
The prosecutor was a tobacconist, and his brother,
who managed his business, locked up the premises at
ten o'clock at night, but returned for a cigar in a short
time, when two men rushed out of the house, and one of
them knocked him down, and they ran away. He ran
after them crying out police, and a policeman stopped
Hague, handed him to witness, and ran after the other.
Hague then said, " I'm not the man, leave hold of me,"
and struck witness over the head several times with a
life-preserver' but he kept his hold until the policeman
brought back Wilson, and then Hague threw away the
life-preserver, six skeleton-keys, and a chisel. Wit-
ness's head bled, and was very much hurt. On return-
ing to the premises he found three drawers broken open,
and a cigar-box containing the above moneys was
taken. On being searched the identical sum and coin
was found in Haynes's waistcoat pocket, and ho now
pleaded guilty, and was called as a witness to prove that
it was not Wilson, but Thomas Thompson, of Manches-
ter, who was with him, and he denied that he knew Wil-
son, or had ever been with him. In this he was contra-
dicted by a publican, who said that they had often been
at his house drinking together, were there the previous
night, and that he noticed them particularly, because
they were bad characters. A woman also, who said she
was a married woman, was called for Wilson, and she
swore she was standing with Wilson for ten minutes
before ho was taken into custody ; but the jury at once
found Wilson Guilty.
His LORDSHIP said, as they had committed burglary
when armed, and one of them (and must consider both
responsible for it) had used considerable violence, he
mast give them a severer sentence than usual. One of
them had also committed perjury, and the other subor-
nation of perjury, but it had not prevailed.
He then sentenced them to be:transported for 15 years.
John Metcalfe, aged 27, and Robert Slater, 23, were
indicted for a highway robbery, at Givendale, near
Ripon, and stealing from Thomas Macdonald one sove-
reign, two half-sovereigns, one shilling, ono sixpence, and
four pennies.
The prosecutor was an Irish ;reaper, who had come
over hero for the harvest, and he and two other Irish
men, named Henry, were, on the day named, going
along the highway, when they met the prisoners, who
asked them where they were going. They answered
they were looking for a job of
.shearing. They had
sickles with them. They (the prisoners) said they had
some a little further on, which they would let to them,
and they turned back with the prisoners. Slater then
asked Macdonald for his sickle, and Metcalfe asked P.
Henry for his, and they gave them. Slater then sat
down on the road-side, and Metcalfe went on with the
prosecutor and his party. After a while Slater rejoined
them, and seized the prosecutor, and asked if he had any
money about him. P. Henry asked him if he intended
to rob prosecutor. Slater then pulled off the cap of P.
I Henry, and prisoner threw it away and seized P. Henry
by the neck, and Metcalfe seized the prosecutor and
took out of his pocket a purse, containing one sovereign,
two half-sovereigns, one shilling, one sixpence, and four
pence. He returned the purse and copper, but kept
the 21. ls. 6d. Prosecutor said he would get a constable
if he did not give him back his money. Metcalfe then
took out a knife, opened it, and ran after P. Henry, but
he escaped. He then returned to the prosecutor, and
told him to be gone, or he would run the knife through
him, at the same time giving him a blow with his fist.
Metcalfe was taken into custody the following morn-
ing, at Ripon, but Slater had got to Burlington, 65 miles
off. When they were taken before the magistrates, it
appeared they changed coats, but Metcalfe accounted for
it by saying Slater was courting a girl, and he had lent
him his, as the better coat, to go and see her on Sunda)
eyming. When Slater was apprehended, just coming
from the railway, at Burlington, he said his name was
Smith, but on being told the charge on which he was
taken, ho said, Oh, I don't care for that, my name is
Slater.
Mr. OVEREND addressed the jury for Metcalfe, con-
tending that it was only a row; they had no intention of
robbing the prosecutor. Besides, there were discrepan-
cies which disentitled the witness to credit. It was ab-
surd to suppose they intended to rob or had robbed an
Irish labourer.
Mr. Justice MAULE, in summing up, said there were
discrepancies in unimportant matters. It was for the
jury to say how far that affected their confidence as to
the rest.

The jury retired, and on their names being called over
on their return, it appeared one, whose name was
Turner, had been sworn in the name of Dunn, and a
question arose whether it was nut a mis-trial.
His LORDSHIP asked Counsel on both sides if they
had any objection to make.
Mr. BLANSHARD, for the prosecution, said he had
none to make; he was quite content to take the verdict
of the jury as it was.
Mr. OVEREND, for Metcalfe, and Slater, for himself,
objected, but did not state the reason or the nature of
the objection.
His LORDSHIP then ordered the verdict to be taken, and
The jury pronounced both prisoners Guilty.
There was no one of the name of Dunn on the panel;
but the juryman who had been sworn by that name was
one of the panel. It was quite clear it arose from a mis-
take only, either of juryrnan or the clerk of arraigns.
Before Mr. Baron Platt three cases only were tried
this day, one an uninteresting burglary committed by a
hawker, who, having called at the prosecutor's during
the day and seen a watch hanging, had returned at
night, broke a square of glass, and stole it; another of
false pretences, occupied nearly the whole day.

Liverpool, Dec. 14.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)'
Andrew Gaynor, 54, Patrick M'Cormack, 26, Betsy
Gaynor, 31, Catherine Wheeler, 26, (were indicted for
having, at Liverpool, feloniously in their
apossessionndalsoa
mould, intended to make counterfeit shillings,
with having unlawfully in their possession four pieces of
counterfeit coin, knowing the same to be counterfeit and
false.

The prisoner Gaynor was found Guilty, and the others
were Acquitted. Sentenced to two year.' imprisonment.
Edward Smith alias PI unhet, 28, was indicted for
having, at Stretford, unlawfully uttered to Joseph Mar-
riot Barber one base shilling and two base sixpences,
knowing the same to be base; and with having at Man-
chester, on the same day, uttered one other base sixpence.
The prisoner was found Guilty.
Mr. Powell, from the Mint, produced the record of a
previous conviction against the prisoner, and
The COURT sentenced him to ten years' transportation.
Peter Bamford, 46, and Margaret Ward, 39, were
indicted for having, at Great Bolton, uttered two coun-
terfeit halfcrowns, knowing the same to be counterfeit.
From the statement of the case by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL, it appeared that the prisoners had passed the
money at a public-house, and that upwards of twenty
other counterfeit half-crowns were found in their pos-
session.

Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner Bamford.
The prisoners were found Guilty.
Sentence—The prisoner Bamford to be imprisoned
for is months, with hard labour; and Ward 1£ months'
imprisonment, with hard labour.
James Kelly, 24, was placed at the bar charged with
the wilful murder of Elizabeth Faulkner, at Heaton
Norris, on the 12th of Septem!.fer last.
The circumstances of this shocking ease will be fresh
in the recollection of the public, having been published
in the newspapers at the time. The murdered woman
was the prisoner's sweetheart.
When called upon to plead, the prisoner, whose coun-
pleaded Guilty
tenance exhibited the deepest dejection,
to the charge against hieem.
His LORDSHIP after a feeling address to the prisoner,
passed the awful sentence of death upon him in the
usual terms.

REPRESENTATION OF BOLTON.—.We(Manchester
Times) regret exceedingly to have to announce the pro-
bable retirement from it'arliawent of Dr. Bowriug, the
Member for Bolton. 11l health is the reason we have
heard assigned for the resolution to which the Learnel
Gentleman has come.
