At a preliminary Meeting, held at the'ofties,ef Mr. IL English, 25,.
Tileet-street, it was resolved—
That a Company be formed; with a capital of 200,0001., dividedinto
20,000 shares, of 101. each.
That, in the first instance, the call be limited to Is. per share, as
required by the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act, and that
the subscribers be not held responsible beyond the pa3ment of such
sum, which, it is assumed, will be amply sufficient for the purpose
of obtaining the most conclusive evidence of the practicability of
adopting steam-carriages on common roads.
That no shareholder be called upon to pay any sum whatever until
a general meeting be held, when the views and reports of the projec--
tors will be laid before the meeting, and when they will have the op-
portunity of withdrawing from the Company, or paying the instal-
ment, as before provided
A Provisional Committee is appointed, who will convene a meeting
of the Shareholders on the whole of the Shares being subscribed for,
when the call of Is. per share will be required.
No expenses will be incurred beyond those absolutely necessary
for determining the practicability of the object,
of the Hon and every
orary S informa-
e-
tion will be afforded on application at the offices
cretary.
Application for shares, on the abovo terms—no sum being required
until the whole of the shares are subscribed for, and then only Is. per
share, with an undertaking that no further liebaaddressedility is inc
tourrethe
d
without the assent of the subscribing party—to h
Honorary Secretary, Mr. H. English; or to the Solicitor, Mr. F.
Herbert.
One-third of the shares being already subscribed for, no applica-
tions can be received after Saturday, the 30th instant.

THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the
title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's
Chlamys Paletof,," 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.
PIIERE 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
ach Coat in a most perfect end oginal
manner ; this can be atted or detached without the least trouble
to the wearer.
A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one,
viz., Three Guineas.
IU, EMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and
LTA. MEDICAL PROFESSION'S, it is presumed, will all
readily concede their patronage to the new patented invention called
THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its
blue soberness
unpretending
appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle-
men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills
it arising from a
variable climate (the origin of colds, Sse.) To these 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, tho NicolMEßl is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.
TO CHANTS, STOCK BROKERS,
UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the
City, ea also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn •
ings and evening', but whose bustling avocations during midday, by
inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession ef 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.

:VI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing health but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken ha, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
