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 la 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.

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, Etc.) To these it is said profes-
sional men are mere susceptible than others, arising from
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now shouldchose the
morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicol

TO
UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the
City, s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn •
ing3 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 much risk to bodily health is too
often incurred by the warm coat being too suddenly thrown aside.
111 AI WAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the
IL-11) NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMTS 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
joerney'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 friliWay ticket er loose cask, &c.
The last, thondli tilt least, important distinction presented by the
Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public,
eonSists 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 NICOLL S' PATENTS.—AII
those Firms throughout the various parts of the United King.
dem 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-
Tendon called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the
appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual
conditions.
Gentlemen, lion-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, Moleswerth-street, Dublin.
Messrs. Wareing and Son, New-street, Birmingham.
Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street, Liverpool.

CAUTION.—We, the undersigned, hereby declare
J our intention to institute Legal Preceedings 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 be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer
Coats er Paletots, &c. to a separate Garment and purpose; and, in
the second part, the Pockets er 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 Chlarays 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, kc., 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.

tupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes cm-

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
omprosing harry ; 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-
tlement. Honour and justicederaand that health sheuldform an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Flighted hopes er

life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he

changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fultilmeni, of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract'asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
ft 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
h.stituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I 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
tutalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
Wiest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

The Farent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
i,cen the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
