NICOL L'S CHLAMYS PALETOT.
This is a new and patented invention, which might perhaps
be better described as the wade mecum to the traveller by railway or
Steam-packet. It also maintains the Registered Paletot's character
as a fashionable morning or out-door Coat by a general resemblance
to this popular garment. The chief improvement consists in a con-
trivance called a Chlamys, a name gives to an extra lining, which
affords additional warmth to the chest and shoulders when worn in
the street or on horseback In the usual manner of a Paletot ; 'jut
when it is intended to be used as a CHLAMYS PALETOT in tra-
velling, this extra lining, by merely fixing one button into a button-
hole, can be made to act as a comfortable cap or hood, effectually
protecting the head, ears, neck, and frost, or upper parts of the
chest from draughts or cold carrents of air.
Not only will the probability of catching cold be diminished, but
travelling by night will thus be divested of its chief inconvenience, as
the wearer of NICOLL'S CHLAMYS PALETOT may enjoy a re-
freshinglleep, his hat or cap being hung up in the carriage or en-
tirely dispensed with during the journey, thus avoiding headache and
other uneasy sensations caused by its compression npoa the forehead.
N/CEIOLL'S CHLAMYS PALE TOT can be had of all the receg-
lazed agents, but in London only of the Patentees, H. I. and D.

TO THE "BARD OF THE MINORIES."
Bard of the Minories! Excuse my freedom
In writing lh es to one so famed as you ;
And if you think it worth your while to read 'em,
An itonour to my humble pen you'll do.
My motive in the lines which I present you,
Is simply this—l wish to compliment you.
I don't refer se much to skill in verses,
As to your strict adherence to the fact ;
The trading story which your Muse rehearses
Is perfectly as Messrs. MOSES act.
Poets, 'tie said, are rather fond of fiction,
But your assertions challenge contradiction.

MOSES and SON. yen say, possess great merit
As Artistes in the making of attire ;
And. Sir, my commendation they Inherit,
For MOSES' dress I very much admire.
They have a claim (and every day they show it)
Not less than that asserted by their poet.
All that you say of MOSES I rely on,
Tour compliments on style and strewth are due,
There's not a garment that I fix my eye on,
lint proves good quality and cheapness too.
Tour verse is true, Sir , ay and so your prose is,
Nor have you ever overrated MOSES.
B. MOSES and SON invite especial aVentien to their Shooting-
coats, which possess a peculiar cat and style, adding much comfort
la the tit. E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved
of try the public.

M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questioeably contented. Diffidence, er 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 ant worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret an-
seempriosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
