Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re-
gistered Paletot to suit the aver-varied nature of our climate,
forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the
railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must be ac-
knowledged as a vast improvement over the old great coat,
associated in our remembrance with an uncemrortauie sensa-
tion of tight buttonings, which, from its very clumsiness,
defeated its object, the warmth of the person, as interfering
with the proper circulation of the blood. The principal hues
are black, blue, brown, and olive;_ also the clerical mixture
called Oxford, and can be bad of the patentee, or only of
the most respectable clothiers out of London. Every winter
paletot is three guineas, and is stampted in the lining with
the words, " Registered G and 7 Vic., sap. 65. 11. J. and I).

HZA az wa RELIEVED. Instruments and Spectacles sent into the

Messrs. S. and B. Solutions, Oculists and Opticians,

tion. Immediately they are placed before impee-
sect vision, either by day or candlelight, that
mist and dullness which appear before the eyes is at once
removed, and every object becomes clear and distinct, so that
the most aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant,
and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Also
the most Powerful Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses,
Microscopes, Invisible and all kinds of Acoustic Instruments
for relief of extreme deafness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, Opticians, are not in any way connected with a
person of the same name in their immediate neighbourhood,
ner in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes be
cautious, and observe—Only to he had at 30, Albemarie-street,
opposite the York Hotel.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —CURE OF FEARFUL :ULCER-
OUS SORES, IN MALTA, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT —Mrs. Duncan, whose husband is employed in her Ma-
jesty's dockyard at Malta, suffered for more than two years
from ulcerous sores in her feet. She formerly resided at
Corfu, and was treated by the best practitioners there, from
whom, however, she derived no benefit whatever, when, after
using five or six boxes and pots of Holloway's Pills and Oint-
ment, a perfect cure was effected. The truth of this state-
ment is so notorious at Malta, that the editor of the Malta
Mail newspaper was induced to insert the particulars of the case
in his paper of October 31, Iti4s.—Sold by all druggists, and
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, '244, Strand, London.
SIMPLE METHOD OF RAISING SUNKEN VESSELS.—
Captain Manby, of the Royal Navy, has addressed a letter
to Lloyd's, upon the subject of a simple and economical
method of raising sunken vessels, and removing channel ob-
etNetions.
