HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of Ina taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " Amongst the registration of designs,
according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions
of securing the particular substance and cut cf a coat is certainly a
new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus
secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to
those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered
Paletot, two guineas.

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by 11. J. and D.
NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their
new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which Is a summer
overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance. _ _ _

The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille,
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also,
from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock
Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi•
tive to the importance of that wade mecum—a moderate light over-
coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not
submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themselves satisfied of
its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking,
or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which,
gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety ; as their new introduction,
they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas
is lixetl. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an
agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount
can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many
are kept-ready in the eztengve wareroms, 114, Eiseutitnet.

This important line of rail Way will commence near the Midland
Counties,- Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holme, F iteliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale .of Belvoir,
tc, the .town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
rolitingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding,
.Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line orcOnnexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also forra a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts ofLincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct faeility of intercourse With
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
'of the Great 'Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the .Agrictilturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside!
rably cheaper rate than by other existing. or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral Wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham. _ _ .

Surveys are now in progreis, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Lino will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeath; will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to armunt to very near Bs. The charge by
Railway per quarter; (allowing five quarters to the•ten, at the charge
of 1 id. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken). woitld not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are Calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for Insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, Sm."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded bY
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelled to sell his whaat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably nelow the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise." _ .

"-Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot but be'considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com-
munication."

The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufbeturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great, quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately . prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield; and Midland Junc-
tion,-and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of rallwa The Cambridge and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. In-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.
