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 CHLAMTS PA LETOT, 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 will provide for both contingencies.
TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS,
UNDERWRITERS, &e., going to or retuning from the
City, 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 case; the said warm
coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in-
curred.

RAILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the
NICOLL or PATENT CHLAMYS 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, 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 cast, &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 Chiamys 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 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.:—
Messrs. Macdona, Molesworth-street, Dublin.
Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham.
Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street, Liverpool.
Messrs. Christie and Son, George-street, Edinburgh,
J. Bruce, Cape Town. I C. Roth, Philadelphia.

CAUTIAUTION.—We, the undersigned, hereby declare
ON.—We,
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 Garmerns 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 be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer
Coats or Paletots, &c., to a separate Garment and purpose; and, in
the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected
by 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 part
is called "The Patent Pocket Protector ;" and further it is our in-
tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injuuctions to
restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau-

to our injury and the deception of the public.

TON Sultrour(now worn by almost every nobleman and gentleman in
the kingdom, and suitable for every season of the year), has again
provided for the comfort of the public, having just introduced ano-
ther new coat for winter, called ' the ROYAL SIBERIAN OVERCOAT,'

cessant rain, and while as light as a cork, is warm, pliant, and com-
fortable as fur. Although richly trimmed, so as to be suitable to
first-class wearers, the price is only Fifty Shillings. We heartily wish
Mr. Fougere the success which his ingenuity and enterprise merit."

Ito YAL LOCIINAGAR WHISKEY.
Messrs. BEGG and BUYERS, by special appointment,
Distillers to the Royal Household, and Proprietors of the Loch-
nauar Distillery, beg to announce that Messrs. IVIIITING and
ROBERTS, CHURCII-STREET, MILLBANK, WESTMINSTER,
are the sole consignees for the sale of the " ROYAL LOCIINAGAR
WHISKEY" in England. This Whiskey, which has been honoured
with the royal approval, is of extreme purity, exquisite flavour,
and bouquet.—WHlTlNG and ROBERTS, SOLE CONSIGNEES,
CHURCH-STREET, MILLBANK, WESTMINSTER.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
cLangeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fultilmenL of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,

illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.
