1N- ICOL L' S CHLAMYS PALETOT.
This is a new and patented inveati•n, which might perhaps
be better described as the wade mecum to the traveller by railway or
steam-packet. It also maintains the Registered Paletot's character
AS a fashionable morning or out-door Coat by a general resemblance
to this r ()pular garment. The chief improvement consists in a con-
trivance called a Chlamys, a name gives to an extra lining, which
affords additional warmth to the chest and shoulders when worn in
the street or on horseback in the usual manner of a Paletot ;
but
when it is intended to be used as a CIILANIYS PALETOT in tra-
velling, this extra lining, by merely fixing one button into a button-
hole, can be wade to act as a comfortable cap or hood, effectually
protecting the head, ears, neck, and froat, •r upper parts of the
chest front draughts or cold carrents of air.
Not only will the probability of catching cold be diminished, but
travelling by night will thus be divested of its chief inconvenience, as
the wegrer •f NICOLL'S CIILAMYS PALETOT may enjoy a re-
freshing sleep, his hat or cap being hung up la the carriage or en-
tirely dispensed with during the journey, thus avoiding headache and
other uneasy sensations caused by its compression upon the forehead.

nized agents, but in Londoa only of the Patentees, 11. I. and D.

UAL LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
JUP Copy •f a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar,

York,
" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1147.

"Sig,—Having suffered most drea'lfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatio Pills. When I commenced
taking-them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the roost intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life: they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very vouch improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and t!•ey all epeak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderffil medicine, 3ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or otter
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe

pressed open the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine.

.v.g One half the wsprid are desolately single, and the other
opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
'ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
sf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
.somprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry shoald net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wenn,' more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

they are offered as antagonistic to the empvrical trash put forth on

title publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
oy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid,' and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
mmphiets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the

irwards-the head of each of you shall be
severed from his body, and the body of each divided
into four quarters, to be disposed of as her Majesty
shall think fit—and may the Almighty God have
mercy upon your souls.
At the conclusion of this address the three pri-
soners were removed from the dock. The van was
drawn u
p outside, and the prisoners having been
placed in it, were at once conveyed back to the
prison, where they were placed in separate apart-
ment, and none but their chaplain, and pertens
specially permitted by the sheriff, were admitted to
see them. Much excitement prevailed in the streets,
and suppressed murmurs of sorrow and awe ran
through the crowd of spectators assembled about the
Court House. The police kept back the multitude
with fixed bayonets, and in a short time all had dis-
appeared.
CLOSE OF THE COMMISSION.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, addressing their Lord-
ships, said—My Lords, in consequence of the length
of time the commission has lasted, the onerous duties
discharged by those engaged in these trials, and the
protracted attendance of jurors from distant parts of
tontheof
presentthe A tstiot rt
sittings.

the commission to the 12th of December.

will your Lordships say Tuesday, Dec 5 ?
Chief Justice BLACKBURNE—Let the Court be
adjourned to Tuesday, Dec. 5.
Mr. MEAGHER called the attention of Judge Moore
to the case cited by him in his charge to the jury by
whom Mr. O'Donolioe was tried—namely, that of the
Earl of Southampton, in order to show that it was
charged as matter of fact that he was aware of the
treasonable intent of the Earl of Essex.

Justice MooaE said that he cited the authority of
Lord Hale, in whose opinion Lord Mansfield and
Chief Justice Bayley concurred. He would, how-
ever, examine the authorities, and see whether what
Chief Justice Hale had so unequivocally laid down
was the law.

Mr. -MEAGHER said that he Could not expect more
from his Lordship, and would be quite satisfied
with his judgment after he had referred to the
authorities.

Mr.
BuTT, Q.C., threw out Hot Justice Foster Lod.
shaken the authority of Lord Hale.
Justice AlooßE said that he li:x1 looked in Foster's
book with the view of seeing if he had dote so, hut it
did not appear to him that the passage contravened
the authority of Lord Hale. lie might have drawn
a wrong conclusion, but the law could not be more
clearly laid down than by Lord Hale, who was the
highest authority upon the subject.
The commission was then formally adjourned to
Tuesday, the sth of December next.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to
the 15th of August, which fully coslfirm the state-
ment regarding the capitulation entered into betwecri
Pretorious and Major Warden, the British Resident
at Blom Fontein, by which the latter consented•to
withdraw beyond the Orange River, thereby sur-
rendering the Queen's authority to that portion of
the colony over which he had presided. Thc- following
official details,, with other particulars, will be read
with interest :

(From the Graham's Town Journal.)
Our readers will be prepared, from the communi-
cations insert( d in our last number, to learn that all
British rule beyond the Orange River had for the
present ceased to exist—the three magistrates who
had been stationed there having been forcibly expelled
by the rebellious Boers.
It now appears that Major Warden, on his return
to Bloem Fontein, after having so narrowly escaped
being made a prisoner, proceeded to make his little
post in some way defensible, at the same time dis-
patching Mr. Rex to the Boer's camp to ascertain
their ulterior object. Whilst waiting for his re-
turn a letter, of which we subjoin a copy, was
received from Fretorius, Major Warden learning
from the bearer that Mr. Rex was detained a prisoner.
He refused to give any reply until he was released.
This was acquiesced in, and Mr. Rex reports that the
Boers' leger cr camp was within two miles of Bloem
Fontein ; that it consisted of about 1,200 men ; that
all communication with the colony was cut off, and
that all attempt at resistance was useless. Major
Warden thus having no alternative, proceeded to
treat, and the terms given below were agreed upon.
