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 lkfeLsrs. 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 acoption by men of taste
is inevitable."—The SUR, 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.
114, Regent-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant.

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vie., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. 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 iu 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 mentb,, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. 11. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade 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 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.inedby 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 ii,tog. 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 largo and increasing demand, many
are kept ready in the extensive wareroonia, 114, Regent-etreet, four
doors north of Quadrant.
