" HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late 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. " This garment is so great an imrove-
ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoptlon by men of taste
is inevitable."—The 5t12, April 30. " 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 of a coat is cer-
tainly 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. G. 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 trophabille,
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber il'ee 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 month 4, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. 11. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade mccuin—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 themsetves 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,
g.dned by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction,
they re,spectfhlly 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 fixed. 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 extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, four

LORD ELDON'S APERIENT PILL S.

Court Physician, and their superior merit consists in speedily re-
moving costiveness and indigestion, producing increased mental
vigour, and a cheerfbl state of health ; they have stood the te.t of
Fitly Years' experience, and are particularly beneficial in obviating
the evils arising from studious and sedentary occupations. Sold at

THE ISLAND OF LEWIS.
James Matheson, Esq., M.P., the new proprietor of the Island of
Lewis, has commenced the improvement of it in an extensive and
spirited manner. •
About 1,000 acres of moorland in the vicinity of Lewis
Lodge have been drained and enclosed for planting, of which
fully more than the half has been already planted; and the
drainage has been so effectually and carefully executed, that
there can be little doubt of a successful result. The Mains
Farm attached to the proprietor's residence has been furrow.
drained, partly with tiles, and partly with stones, under the super.
intendence of John Scobie, Esq., his factor, and Mr. Grant, an
experienced agriculturist, who has been engaged to overlook the
agricultural improvements of the island. A most interesting and
important experiment with tussac grass is being tried. The seed
was sent home by the Governor of the Falkland Islands, where
this grass grows luxuriantly. It is to be hoped it may succeed in
Lewis, and we shall look forward with no small interest to the
result.

The country is being opened up by new roads and bridges. A
new line to Bayble—a very important fishing station on the east
side of the island—has been completed. The line to Harris is in
rapid progress ; and one to connect the parishes of Lochs and Uig
is proposed. The old road to Cress, last year almost impassable to
wheeled vehicles, has been thoroughly repaired. The Bervas• and
Callernish roads are to undergo the same process.
Curing-houses are being erected at the principal fishing stations,
and, much to the credit of the spirit and humanity of the proprie.
tor, the bothies occupied by the cod and ling fishermen are to be
replaced by habitations of a more comfortable and suitable de-
scription.

Mr. Scobie has been introducing improved stock, both of cattle
and horses ; cud much good can be thus brought about without
putting the proprietor to much expense.
A new era has burst upon the Lewis and its inhabitants. Those
who are willing to work now find employment—of itself an Ines.
timable boon to the population. The improvements they see going
forward will stimulate and instruct them to drain and take in their
cwn crofts. The quantity of sea-weed and of shelly sand with
which the island abounds, might enable them to convert into
arable land hundreds of acres of the moss, which is of first-rate
quality at the sea-4E12; and, with a proprietor, able and willing to
assist, there is no doubt but that in a few years the surface of the
country will be much altered, tmd the moral and physical condi-
tion of its inhabitants vastly ameliorated.
It is reported that Mr. Matheson purposes visiting personally
his estate during the summer, and he may rely on receiving a
cordial and hearty reception from the warm.hearted tenantry of
Lewis. It is also said that he purposes extending the benefits of
steam navigation to Stornoway, to get a patent slip for the build-
ing and repairing of ships erected. And what is of most import-
ance to the people, that it is his wish to take the management
of the education of the island into his own hands.—lnverness
Courier.

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SIII r.—This magni-
ficent vessel will leave her moorings at Blackwall in the early part
of the ensuing month. The Directors, it is understood, intend her

mouth, Falmouth, &c., on her way to Liverpool, so as to afford the
residents an opportunity of inspecting her. Her arrival in the
Mersey is anticipated on the 3d of July. She leaves on the 26th
of that month for her first trip across the Great Atlantic.
