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 CIILAMTS PALETOC, Iu other
form
words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat,
and will look equally well as a light Pal:thoetn(uitsed In walking, &c.).
Indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and
castilonable ItCri•tered Palntn,t_
into A ....Lin winter garment, tne sato. s LraCtisfOrm ea
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 axed for these two garments in one,
viz., Three Guineas.
11EMBERS 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 mere susceptible than others, arising from close
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the
meriting atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.
TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS,
UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the
City, , s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn •
logs and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by
inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter
l'aletot would then be desirable, as much risk to bodily health is too
often incurred by the warm coat being too suddenly thrown aside.

111 AILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the
Lai NICOLL er PATENT CHLAMTS PALETOT to be Indis-
pensable to their comfort 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, add 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 natare 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.—AIt
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, Nen-ffesidents in the 31etropelis, are constantly de-
siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also
the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named abject 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 immediately 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.:—

Messis. MaedOrin, MOlesworth-street, Dublin.
Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham.
Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street, Liverpool.

We also hereby give notice that we have assumed origintl andd
descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first an
second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is
to say the first part is styl ed " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation
of the full title of the Nicoll Chlamys Paletot), and the second part
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, Sec.,
being .an infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending
to our injury and the deception of the public.

An One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sons. of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
b:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
t:,:rnent. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
1n the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or
Neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
