By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch devotion to
the interests of the People, the DLSPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposnre.
Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors haVe re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUL: NE WSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will ,still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC.," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type. has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
ill next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be

One half the world aro desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, queitionably contented. Diffidence, or a
+once of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes cm-
.' tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
?oreprosiug harry ; but the truth lies deeper. rhysical incapacity,
1114 broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and, ustice demand that health shouldform au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
Reelect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
.bese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining

,car the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post ls. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
Ife, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
,n the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

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,
bat 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-
ered, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment, 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
!Lstituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment et important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
'beyond measure deplorable 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,

Mastrated byforty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe-
ions en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
selitary habits, excesses, o:• infection.

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

THE NICOLL, REGENT-STREET and
CORNHILL.
The NICOLL.—This is the Trade Mark and distinctive Title
given to a Patented OUTER COAT, or PALETOT, in which there
is a double use and purpose ; in other words, the same garment can
be used as a warm Winter Outer Coat, and again converted into a
light Walking Paletot, by simply removing a warm interlining,
which is attached or detached easily, and in a manner most novel
and ingenious.
The NICOLL, or the Two Garments (above-mentioned) incor-
porated in One, is charged at the moderate price of Three Guineas.
Indeed, if the contemplated Sale of Thousands be not effected, the
Patentees will lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low
prices now quoted.
Messrs. NICOLL are the Originators and Sole Proprietors of the
deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic.
cap. 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 all others distinguished in rank and fashion, the
Court. the Pulpit, and the Bar.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, LITERARY, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS will, it is ptesumed, readily concede
their patronage upon this New and Patented Invention, as also
Merchants and Railway Travellers, who are subject to colds, &c.,
arising from the fluctuations in a climate like that of Great Britain,
where, even in the most settled weather, at this season, a warm coat
is universally used during mornings and evenings, but at mid-day,
from the active habits and avocations of all classes, a light Walking
Paletot is indispensable.
RAILWAY TRAVELLERS will find great convenience in its
Pocket Protector, which effectually preserves from loss the railway
ticket, loose cash, &c., besides a peculiar comfort for Night Travel-
ling, which must be seen and warn to be appreciated.
The Country Agents for the New Patents are the same highly re-
spectable firms who have of late years held the appointments direct
from the Patentees in London.
CAUT[ON.—The NICOLL —Any person or persons using the
same, or a similar title, or trade mark, whereby the Public may be
deceived, will be proceeded against, as by injunction of the High
Court of Chancery, ;as also by the infringement of the principle
claimed in the Royal Letters Patent, granted to the undersigned,
which mainly consists in the adaptation of the linings of Coats,
Paletots, &c., to a separate use and purpose, Ste.

CIIRISTMAS FESTIVITIES
The gaiety that reigns supreme at the social re-unions of this
period of the year induces the fair and youthful to be more than usu-
ally desirous of shining in personal attraction, while the rich luxuri-
ant tress, the clear and transparent complexion, and the pearly set
of teeth form admirable trophies of the inestimable virtues of
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
ROWL ANDS' KALYDOR,
And ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE.
The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and their general use
by the aristoeraey and the elite of fashion, together with the confir-
mation by experience of the infallible efficacy of these creative and
renovating specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and
given them a celebrity unparalleled.
As presents for both sexes none can be more recommendatory, or
more now in general use.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
John Gallica, type-founder, of Edinburgh, and car
rying on business in Wellington-street, Strand, was sum-
moned before Mr. Jardine, under the provisions of the
sth and 6th Vic., chap. 100, at the instance of Messrs.
Besley and Thorowgood, also type-founders, carrying
on business in Farm-street, for having, on the 7th
inst., unlawfully applied to his own use a certain design
of script typo invented and duly registered by them in
compliance with the provisions of the 6th and 7th Vic.,
chap. 65; and also for having sold the said article of
manufacture without their permission.
Mr. Webster appoared as counsel to support the com-
plainant, and Mr. Hindmarsh for the defendant, who was
represented by a clerk in his office.
Mr. Webster stated that the complainants were well-
known type-founders in the City, and designed, about
two years back, a species of script type, to resemble
writing, called " Court-hand," for the purpose of restor-
ing to the printer such legitimate functions as the art of
lithography had considerably infringed upon of lateyears.
The design in question was registered by them on the
11th of February, 1847, and, as they had anticipated,
the type immediately became extremely popular, and
the demand for it was very great ; but in a short time
after they discovered that an exact imitation of their de-
sign had been introduced into the market. and that it had
also been registered by the defendant, in consequence of
which a correspondence commenced between the legal
advisers of the two firms, the result of which was, that
the defendant was cautioned not to sell the design, which
he paid no attention to, but continued to dispose of it
until it was deemed necessary to apply to the court for
protection.
Mr. Hindmarsh coutended that the proceedings should
have been instituted against his client in Scotland, where
he resided, and where the types were made, instead of
at his place of business in London.
Mr. Webster said that the defendant's residence for
business was in town, which was all that was contem-
plated by the Legislature. Besides, the selling took
place in London, and the defendant was well known at
the establishment in Wellington-street.
After some further discussion,
Mr. JARDINE was of opinion that the objection taken
was fatal, as the clause in the Act clearly meant the
actual residence of the individual—in fact, the place
where he usually sleeps—in addition to which, he ap-
prehended that such a complaint was of much too great
importance to be decided by him in a summary manner.
Mr. Webster expressed his regret that the Court held
such an opinion, the principal object of the Act, in his
opinion, being to lessen the necessary delay and expense
of the action in a superior court; and it should be borne
in mind that the Copyright Act lasted only three years,
almost all of which would be consumed in litigation,
while the mischief to his clients was going on.
Mr. JARDINE said he had no difficulty in coming to
the opinion he held upon the terms of the clause in the
Act, and ordered the summons to be dismissed.
Thomas Smith, described as a clerk, was charged with
stealing a number of parchment rolls and records from
the Petty-bag office, in Chancery-lane, the property of
her Majesty.
Jacob Worster, 61, New Compton-street, Saint Giles's,
colourman, stated that about two months back the pri-.
soner came to his house with two rolls of parchment for
sale, which he said were misprinted, and that was his
reason for disposing of them. On asking him the price
he replied Is. 6d. per lb., but witness said they were not
worth more than Is. per lb., and he went away. Some
I time after he returned, and said that: he had got Is. 3d.

from Mr. Fox for others. They were then weighed, and
there being about 101bs. be gave him ls. per lb. for
them. He subsequently purchased two other rolls at the
same price.
The prisoner said he had a very indistinct recollection
of the circumstance, being ill at the time, and he thought
the articles produced were no bettor than waste paper.
Mr. Francis Abbott, a deputy-clerk in the Petty-bag
office, said that the prisoner had been employed by him,
and identified the parchment records produced.
Mr. JARDINE asked what value he could set upon the
rolls? Mr. Abbott considered they were worth about
51. each roll.

The prisoner was ordered to be remanded.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Samuel Collins, alias John Samuel Smith, a cigar-case
maker, was charged with haring feloniously intermarried
with Ann Maria Hornblower, his wife, Esther Isabella
Collins, being alive.
_ .

Sergeant Streaks, 27 N, said the prisoner admitted
his marriage with Esther Collins, who was then present
in court. _ _

Ann Maria Hornblower, a smart and good-looking
young woman, said that in August, 1847, she was mar-
ried to the prisoner at Sudbury Church, after a court-
ship of 18 months, but he deserted her, and she found he
had previously deserted his wife, to whom he was mar-
ried in 1836, and when taken he wu living with another
woman.

The prisoner denied the alleged second marriage, but
was remanded for the production of evidence.
THAMES.

Thomas Armay, a music-stool-maker, was finally ex-
amined, charged-with stealing a quantity of rich damask,
worth nearly 401., the property of Messrs. Druce and
Co., upholsterers, at the Baker-street Bazaar, and also at
Regent-street.' In the dock with him, and associated
in the charge, was George Wall, a respectable looking
man, advanced in years,who .me taken into custody
after Arment had been nihnded. hut was suffered to be
out on his own recognizances.
Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, with whom was Mr.
Willoughby. solicitor, appeared for the prosecution;
Mr. Pelham for the defence, and Mr. Thomas, a solici-
tor, attended to watch the case on the part of Mr. Carter,
one of the witnesses.

The facts are these:—On Thursday, the 14th instant,
Cobley, 65 R, found Arment trying to dispose of a piece
of damask in Whitechapel, of which, when arrested,
he could give no satisfactory account. After diligent
inquiry, Cobley found that the prisoner Arment had
sold a piece of crimson and buff damask to Mr. Car-
ter, an upholsterer of the Minories, which had been
taken from the premises of Messrs. Druce; and he
also found that Mr. Jackson, upholsterer, of High.
street, Shoreditch, had purchased some crimson
damask from Wall, on behalf of Arment, which
was also taken from Messrs. Druce's establishment.
When the prisoner Arment was brought up for his
second examination, it was shown that Carter purchased
the damask at is. 9d. per yard, and Jackson bought the
portion sold to him at 3s. 6d. per yard. The evidence
further went to show that the manufacturing price of the
damask sold to Carter was 4s. lod. per yard, though,
owing to a slight damage, it was sold to Messrs. Druce
at 3s. Gd., whilst the manufacturing price of the damask
sold to Jackson was 9s. Gd. The prisoner was then re-
manded, and Wall was subsequently taken into custody
at his own residence, Charles-street, Hoxton, where he
seemed to be living in a respectable manner. On being
arrested he admitted to Cobley that he had sold the
piece of damask, as well as two other pieces, to Mr. Jack-
son on behalf of Arment, who paid him his commission.
When brought before Mr. Yardley, on Tuesday, after a
short examination, he was allowed to go at large on his
own recognizances to appear yesterday.
Mr. Ballantine, who again attended for the prose-
cution, said he wished to put a few questions to the wit-
ness Jackson, and would then beg to have the case re-
manded, as he understood the constable had, since the
last hearing, obtained information which would involve
