FOR LADIES

NICOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning
wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without
one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and
has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy,
and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling
in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at
liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly
to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are
the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu-
factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a
half for each Cloak ; but with the Mecanique and a lined
Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is
attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of all kinds,
with Velvet, } or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door
use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are
in good taste and fit well. Female'attendants may also be seen
for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of
Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland
Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is
thus well adapted for a gift.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE:—
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that Its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

didates for admission, by competive examination, into the
Royal Military College at Sandhurst_:—
1. The age of admission to be from 15 to 19 years.
2. Every candidate for admission must apply, through his
parent or guardian, to the Commander-in-Chief to have his
name entered on the list of candidates.

3. He must transmit with his application the following
documents, viz.: (a) A certificate of birth, or other satisfactory
proof of his age ; (b) a certificate from a minister of the church
or denomination to which he belongs, of his having been duly
instructed in the principles of religion; (c) a certificate from
the master or tutor under whom he has been educated, of his
general moral conduct for at least the two preceding years.
4. His name having been placed upon the list of candidates,
it will be open to him to offer himself at any one of the half-
yearly examinations which may occur while he is within the
prescribed limits of age.._ If he is unsuccessful at that exami-
nation, he will be allowed to present himself at any subse-
quent examination until*he has exceeded the maximum age.
His want of success, however, in these examinations will not
preclude him from entering the Army on obtaining a direct
commission in the usual manner.

tain whether he is free from all bodily and organic defects,
and whether, as far as regards physical constitution, he is in
every point of view fit for military service.
6. The period of study will not exceed two years.
7. Gentlemen cadets will be examined periodically, and
commissions in the Cavalry or the Line will be given, in the
order of merit, to those who attain the highest places ; the
number of such commissions having been previously announced
to the College. The remainder of those who are successful
will be equally, eligible with those who have passed the usual
examination for direct commissions, but they will have the
priority of appointment over the latter, provided they have
obtained certificates of good conduct and proficiency In, their
military exercises.

Artillery or Royal Engineers will be permitted to offer him-
self as a candidate at any of the competitive examinations for
