MESSRS. NICOLL'S PREMISES AND
SYSTEM OF' BUSINESS.
Messrs. 7.,TICOLL'S WARE-ROOMS in REGENT-STREET now
extend from No. 114 to 120 (inclusive), and in that part which is
pronounced to be the most favoured spot of row the first arid most
fashionable street in Europe, and is, therefore, the best site for a
large and elegant maLtazine for every article that come+ within the
catalogue of Gentlemanly Attire, for which one fixed and moderate
price is most properly charged. Here the numerous skilful and in-
telligent assistants attend to such orders with which they may be
intrusted, and with an equal amount of respect and civility to all,
however small the purchase may be—indeed an inspection of the
beautiful fabrics exhibited in these Warerooms, is courted by the
above firm, without necessarily expecting the purchase of any
article, with regard to which the public have long since ascertained,
that to be really cheap, it should be really good.

NOVELTIES IN COSTUME.
114, REGENT-STREET, will, as heretofore, form the princi-
pal entrance to NICOLL'S PALETOT WAREROOMS and Ex-
hibition of all the Novelties (as well as all the established articles
of costume) that capital can collect or skill can form ; and, besides
the NICOLL PALETOT or Patent Coat, there is the original
invention, the REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and ;7 Vic., cap. 65),
and NICOLL'S MORNING COAT, all well-approved garments for
Spring and Summer Wear. The original moderate price of these
Garments is retained, viz., ONE and TWO GUINEAS, notwith-
standing all the recent improvements, making them not only the
most gentlemanly, but also the most durable and inexpensive articles
of dress extant.

FOR WEDDINGS, &c.-116, REGENT-
STREET. Hera much ingenuity of design may be witnessed
in embroidered and other materials Intended for WAISTCOATS in
WEDDING, BALL, or MORNING WEAR. UNIFORMS are
also produced at fair prices, either for MILITARY, NAVAL, or
DIPLOMATIC purposes, 118, REGENT-STREET, forms a Depart-
ment for Itches, and whether intended for the Peer, the Clergyman,
the Barrister, or the Youth at College, they will severally show eX-
cellence combined with economy.

YOUTH.-120, RE GENT- S TREET.
PARENTS and GUARDIANS are respectfully invited to
inspect the cost of the several garments here submitted, and con-
sidered necessary for the Universities, Public and Private Schools,
In this branch clever and efficient persons are employed by
Messrs. NICOLL, as in all other departments, the result being the
production of a more graceful and elegant appearance in Youths'
Clothing than has hitherto been approached ; while, at the same
time, their durability and general excellence will be as strongly
chAraeterised as in NICOLL'S PALETOT.
CAUTION.—Many have of late used the word " Paletot," but
H. J. and D. NICOLL arc the sole Proprietors of both design and
material. •

TRACES.—KHOREE is a NEW IMPOR-
TATION by the Messrs: NICOLL, through their Agent in
INDIA. It isfir Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into
a PAL ETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public
amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu-
liarity of reslsting,:or counteracting, in a' most remarkaiee manner,
the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six
ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER
COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc-
cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it
may he concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more-
over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, Is very durable, and
when soiled, becomes new again by the, simple process of washing.

REGEOR.
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11s.
bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bury, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifeld virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The 1 is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the casu3e
—the universal use of Grimstone'e Eye Snuff ! and because it cured
OphthalmiaGrutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the

fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their Invariablequalified
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his

ence, which has reference almost solely the treatment of thef

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
•

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
HERALD.—H+itbin the last century every state
in Europe—not even excepting barbarous and Hy-
perborean Russia-7.has undergone some change—has
been influenced by 'the course of opinion, of events,
and of advancing civilisation. But the Court of
Rome has undergone np change whatever. It is un-
changed as unchangeable. Tne history of the pro-
ceedings of Popes and of Cardinals is not widely dif-
ferent in 1850 from what it was in 1450, 1550, or
1688, when Innocent XL set up pretensions so an-
noying and offensive to Louis XIV. This immobi-
lity and unchangeableness—this stand-still and stag-
nant system—is one of the greatest vices of ecclesias-
tical government. As their
,predecessors have been
so the Popes of Rome continue to be. The tradi-
tions of the past are for the Popes and Cardinals,
and for the Popes. and Cardinals only, the law of
the future. Open Muratori and Giannoni at any

from that which is occurring under our own eyes
now-a-days: The Pio Nono of 1850 seeks to aggran-
dise and monopolise power—seeks to be an absolute
of
a his

Sovereign, bound by no laws—seeks as much to go-
vern according to his own, will and pleasure as the

man, and whenever the privileges of his order or his
most
IX.des despotical
tibcaelfor aned alld
religion are concerned be will be as much of an In-
quisitor as TOrquemada himself. 'Though the ordi-
nary judges of the Pontiff may occasionally pay in
common, civil, or criminal cases, some alight deference
to Justinian or the Pandects, yet in anything con-
cerning the Papal prerogative or , Govertunent the
Pontiff's will is the supreme law.
pgis deCties are
alone conclusive. He may alter or annul whatever
he pleases. He is bound to the observance of no
written laws, and he may, supersede written laws by
alialeksribtepx9se andahaelute
are abso'lute in the form of resoilPtig; which conclude
with a general supersessory:olause, contrariis quibus-
cunque non obstantibus. No tribunal in Rome cm ex-
amine or take cognisance of a matter which. has
been the subject of a Papal ,rescript. In criminal
cases, the 'Pope can alter the punishment or pardon
the delinquent; and so absolute is the power of his
Holiness, that by a
.private billet to the Governor of
Rome, he 'may order: an- individual to be arrested and
sent to the gallies without mentioning the crime,
only saying in general terms, cdusis nobis nous." A
sacerdotal Sovereign enjoying such an unlimited, such
a terrible power as this, is not very likely to show
any reverence for the customary law and comity of
nations, or to understand those diplomatic usages
which are practised by other states; '.t wasiatiterefore,
without surprise that we learned of.,a ftigrant viola.
tion or the respect which is due to the British flag
and arms in the Pontifical States. Within the last
twelve or fourteen days, the domicile of Signor Ercole,
the Secretary to the British Consulate at Rome, was
invaded and forcibly entered by sbliri, in spite of the
most energetic remostrances of his wife and family. The
British Consul at Rome, as our readers are aware, is Mr.
John Freeborn, formerly, aud we believe at present,
carrying on the business of a banker at Rome, and
who to our own knowledge has for more than
twenty years been domiciled in the States of the
Church. Mr. Freeborn, during the last two years
or more has been placed in circemstances of very
great difficulty and responsibility, and we believe
ail are agreed that in a trying time, and under very
peculiar circumstances, he exercised his unpaid
jurisdiction with very great humanity, at the risk of
his personal ease and comfort. Of Mr. Free-
born, in his official capacity, Signor Ercole was the
cuncelliere, or first clerk. As midi, on several oce
casions during-the absence of the COsul, he has acted
as pro-consul, and has been aplitioulOged by the
authorities. On one particular gam.* 'he was re-
ceived by the Pontiff himself,;so that if the idlest
of, all idle things to suppose that *is-character, and
functions were not known. Indeed, during the lite
disturbances, Signor Ercole causesl the British arms
to be placed over his residence, and his diploma
as cancelliere to be hung up id his ball. On the 17th
of this month, however, notwithstanding these facts
—when Signor Ercole was absent from home—a
•police agent, with four carabiniers, knocked at the
door, and, notwithstanding the protestation of the wife
and daughter, that the domicile violated was that of
the cancelliere of the British consulate, forcibly en-
tered, stating that they did so by'order of the Papal
Government. The Capo sbirro and his officers re-
mained in the house all night, and'at five in the morn-
ing the Judge Mariani, one of the Cardinal Vicar's
lieutenants, made his appearanoie with ten sbirri,
armed with bludgeons and pistels, and proceeded to
examine the premises: The draavers, presses, and
cupboards were all searched, but htemyrmidons of his
Holiness not Stull:win:ly B.iblessuasiffes eat disap.

conceived this would be an acknoWledgment 1;t the
Vicar's jurisdiction. On the 19th Mr. Freeborn; who
had drawn up a statement of the facts, dispatched a
note to the Cardinal Secretary, requiring an expla-
nation, and inquiring whether the conduct of the
police was approved by the Papal Government ? To
this letter, however, no answer had been returned on
the 20th, the day of the latest letters from Rome.
Papal perquisitions did not, it appears, end with the
British consulate. The premises of the English
Chapel Committee at Rome, as well as the house of
Signor Sartori, casfode of thst eh's:wet and keeper of
pew-rents, were also searched, and some of his books
and papers confiscated. It appears that Mr. Petro,
the English Roman Catholic unauthoriSed diplomatic
agent at Rome, when applied to to interfere, declined on
the ground that Signor Sartori was a Roman subject,
though it is well known that he was residing, and that
the perquisitions were actually made, in the house of
Mr. nay, late Secretary for the Colonial. Department,
some of whose books were confiscated. This is one of
the inconveniences of havin'g Roman Catholic em-
ployes in states in which the religion 'is Roman Ca-
tholic. We have lately seen the conduct of Mr. More
O'Ferrall at Malta, and the conduct of Mr. Petre at
Rome forms a worthy pendant to it. The reader will
have collected from our _statement that the object of
these Papal perquisitions was merely to obtain Pro.
testant Bibles. With the free circulation of the Bible
the Papacy is an impossibility, and therefore the
Pope, his cardinals, and his sbirri are determined to
make the book a sealed book 'as long as they can.
But, notwithstanding all their efforts, brath is 'pene-
trating, and the day of darkness drawing 'to a close.
We do not deny the right of the Papal Govern-.
latent or police to enter a consulate 'to obtain proofs
of a conspiracy, or to apprehend conspirators. But
it is new to us that Papal sbirri have the right
of violating a British functionary's domicile to seize
the book containing the Word of God. It may be
conceded-that the Pontifical dogana has the right to
seize or to refuse entry to Protestant Bibles into
Rome
commerce or of sale. But
widely
right is the violating domi-
afrrtoimcle this of
domi-
cile to seize a book which every Englishman consi-
ders a part of himself.and of his household. We
shall be, curious to see the manner in which Viscount
Palmerston will take up this question. We know
differentlsn
from St. Real how Louis XIV. avenged the indig-
nity offered to his Crown and nation by Innocent IX.
sending sbirri into the Palazzo Farnese, the residence
of the Duke d'Estrees, ambassador of France. Whe-
ther the author of the "New Whig Guide" will in-
dignantly send such an armed cortege, to the Vatican
as was sent by the order of the Grand Monarque,
headed by Beaumanoir, Marquis de Lavardin, re-
mains to be proved. Beaumanoir was accompanied
by 400 gardes de la marine, all armed to the teeth.
But, though we may send no marines, we trust a
sharp missive may wend its way to Rome, anything
that the statutes of Premunire may say to the con-
trary. We can directly communicate with Mr.
Petre and the Embassy at Florence, if we cannot
communicate directly, by law, with the Pope or his
Government.
C ErR,ONICLE.—Lord Ashley has given notice
that he will this evening bring before the House of
Commons " the question of the total cessation of Sun-
day Labour in the Post-offices of the United King-
dom." We hope that he has well thought out this
somewhat difficult subject, both in its principles and
in its practical details, and that he is thoroughly pre-
pared to do justice to his own views respecting it.
For, although we suspect' that the agitation which
has lately been going ae:,vvith reference to this mat-
ter is to some extent factitious and " got up," there
can be no doubt that it is also, to a considerable de-
gree, the genuine expression of feelings that are en-
titlel to sincere respect; and it is consequently very
desirable that it should find a judicious and effi-
cient Parliamentary exponent—that it should lose
nothing for want of advocacy—and that it should
be met • and defeated exclusively on its real
merits. We are the more solicitous on this point
because the object of Lerd Ashley's motion is other-
wise in extreme danger of being fatally damaged
by considerations altogether extrinsic to its actual
purport. The preseut movement fur applying the
ultra-Sabbatarian principle to the organization of our
Post-office system had, it must be owned, a somewhat
questionable commencement. There is no denying
that it originated in a blunder, and that it has to a large
extent been sustained and fostered by misrepresentae
tions, of which charity compels us to hope that they
were not wilful. It dates from the announcement of
