QPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
exey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s.

No. 114, REGENT - STREET.— Messrs.
NICOLL have, in these Warerooms, the NEW REGISTERED
PALETOT in every subitance, ; but at present they are chiefly
adapted for warm weather. The sizes kept ready for immediate
wear will embrace all, from a Daniel Lambert to the smallest school-
boy. Although Nicoll's Patent Pocket Protector, together with other
improvements, have been added, yet the New Registered Paletot
will retain its predecessor's moderate charge, viz , Two Guineas, or
lined silk, Two-and-a-Half; and the Paletot .t'Ete, One Guinea.

NO. 116, REGENT - STREET. Messrs.
NICOLL have recently attached these premises to those
where they have hitherto been honoured with the distin-
guished patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert,
Prince George of Cambridge, his Grace the Duke of Welling-
ton, the elite of rank and fashion, as also the chef members
01 the senate, pulpit, and the bar. In addition to an increased ac-
commodation for the sale of the REGISTERED PALETO l', these
new waierooms will contain, ready for immediate use, driving capes,
wrappers, yachting and shooting coats, the substances of which are
adapted for the service of travellers to any clime, be it Kamschatka,
Timbuctoo, or any of the more temperate and genial regions.

NO. 120, REGENT - STREE r. - Messrs.
NICOLL have here collected the whole of the very
large reserve stock of WOOLLEN CLOTHS, FANCY and
PLAIN TROUSEtiINGS, VESTINGS, &c., necessary to sup-
ply their several establishments. Most of the designs for
the present season are either registered or confined to their
sole use, but the choice of which (any length being cut) is now offered
to town and country buyers, shippers, &c., the whole being marked
in plain figures at the smallest rate of profit perhaps ever previously
offered. It would be idle of Messrs. Nicoll to invite attention to this
fact, were they mot determined that the goods themselves should be
able to prove their assertion.

'WO 22, CORNHILL.—AIessrs. NICOLL re-
spectfully intimate to their City patrons :that these premises
have been expressly opened for their convenience. The NEW
REGISTERED PALETOT and other garments can there be obtained
in the same degree of excellence as at their Regent-street Ware-
rooms; materials, fashions, cutters, and others, being utter the same
direction.

CHANGE-ALLEY.—Messrs. NICOLL have
provided SHOW-ROINIS (the entrance to which is as above),
where merchants, shippers, &c., may, without interruption, examine
the several samples there displayed, the same being intended for
foreign and colonial purposes. The goods consist of materials only of
the first character, to which attention is particularly invited.

NICOLL'S PALETOT, newly Registered,
6 and 7 Vic., Cap. 65.

Messrs. NICOLL, whilst inviting general attention to this their most
novel effort in the cause of fashion combined with personal comfort,
beg that it will not he forgottm that all that could be said favourably
describing its predecessor for its neatness and unpretending gentle-
wanly appearance, its avoidance of all foreign or extraneous effeet,
its moderate price, durability, and agreeable lightness ; all these are
retained in the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT, which possesses
the happy combination of two different effects, in other words, it
shows to advantage a good figure, or improves an imperfect ono.

NICOLL'S PATENT POCKET PRO-
TECTOR.—This title describes an invention effected
by Messrs. NI..;'OLL, of Regent-street, Cornhill, and else-
where, whereby a desideratum is achieved in a most sim-
ple and novel manner. The POCKET PROTECTOR is applica-
ble to any garment, and is attached, free of additional expense,
to an overcoat, the form of which is registered by them, and
widely known under the title of the R?gistcred Paletot. Tho
principal merit of the Pocket Protector consists in its preventing
any valuable subtance or object from accidentally dropping out, and
yet the wearer can place such in, or withdraw the same, with all
customary convenience.—Licenses to use this patent will loe granted
to all Messrs. Nicoll's agents, resident in the principal provincial
towns.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RA C ES.—Tuxsim.v.
We observed in our sketch of the engagements the
entries did not quite come up to " concert pitch;" the
remark is particularly applicable to the Craven Stakes,
in which no public horse made his appearance whose
running can by any ingenuity be supposed to have the
slightest reference to the Derby nags. The racing
having so little to attract, we must attribute the attend-
ance yesterday—and it was moderate enough—to the
conjoint influence of fine weather, railway facilities, and
the anxiety evinced amongst the thousands interested in
the Derby—either by direct speculation, or through the
instrumentality of sweeps—to ascertain, by personal
obsei vation, how the chances of their several fancies
stood affected in the "ring." We need not, therefore,
call upon imaginations to " make much ado about
nothing;" it is enough to state that some of the races
were run over a portion of the new Derby Course—the
only novelty—and that the sport, if it lacked importance,
came quite up to the standard in quantity; it was not
brought to a close until half-past six o'clock. Passing
from the events of the day, we may devote a few lines
to the fluctuations in the Derby betting. Some large
sums were laid at evens on Surplice, who, at the close of
business, appeared to have slightly the call of the field.
Glendower and Nil Desperandum were backed at 6 to 1
each, and 10 to 1 was taken once or twice about Springy
Jack; the layers, however, were numerous and eager,
and at the close his backers were non. est. Shylock, in
the early part of the afternoon, was quoted at 10 to 1,
and looked " suspicious;" various rumours were afloat—
he had been coughing—was sold—would not run, &c., a
panic was the consequence, and he went by rapid strides
to 30 and 40 to 1, taken, however, by good judges. It
then transpired that the Duke of Rutland had consented
to give Robinson up to ride for Lord Clilden, on hearing
which, Mr. Green, who had retained him in the event of
his not being required by the Duke, put in his claim; a
long negotiation ensued, and the result was, that the
Duke of Rutland's permission was recalled; thatßobin;
son, after all, will be on The Fiddler, at least such is the
present arrangement. Pending this discussion, Shylock
came again with a rush, and these who laid 30 and 40 to
1, bad the mortification to see him backed at 10 and 12
to 1. This movement, following upon the scratching of
the old firm of " Swiss Boy and Company," made no
small stir in the ring. The general prices, up to six
o'clock, the names of the probable starters, riders, &c.,
are given underneath. Whether there will be any more
"declarations" remains to be seen; but that such will be
the case is far from improbable.
The racing commenced shortly after the appointed
hour, with _ _

The Cur was one of the first off, but was immediately
drawn back, and the running taken up by Sagacity, fol-
lowed by Chat and Sir Gilbert Heathcote's mare ; this
lot maintained the front rank to the turn, where Chat
gave place to Brocardo, who went in, waiting on with
Sagacity and Sir G. Heathcote's filly to the road, where
he took up the running. The Cur played the waiting
game to the half distance, where he shot past the leading
horses, and ran home an easy winner by a length—only
a neck between the second and third. Ran in 2 min.
14 sec.

Syrup's restiveness, they got off in a cluster, Philippa,
after they had run about a hundrtd yards, taking the
lead, followed by Cresarian and Glance. ; this order was
maintained until near the distance, when Glauca went in
