their patrons residing in its neighbourhood who may re
quire, with the Paletot Coats, either Dress or Fr
ck, o
Trousers, Waistcoats, &c., MESSRS. DAWBARN AND
SON being constantly supplied from London with every
improvement in taste and fashion, and more particularly
as the same principles of business for which their own
firm is now well known are maintained by Messrs. Daw-
barn, viz., very moderate prices, combined with every ex-
cellence of material for prompt cash payments. Messrs.
N. are well aware that there are some fashions which have
so little of the enduring principle in them that they sel-
dom survive the fluctuations of a single season; others,
which from their intrinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in
public esteem and enjoy a more extensive vogue in pro-
portion as they become known to the public. To the lat-
ter order the Paletot has an undoubted claim, as by its
unassuming, yet gentlemanly appearance may be ascribed
the constant patronage of H. R. H. Prince Albert, Prince
George of Cambridge, His Grace the Duke of Wellington,
and the principal members of the senate, the pulpit, and
the bar. Price of Paletot, rich silk lining, two guineas
and.a half; not silk, two guineas. The Paletot D'Ete,
only weighing a few ounces, one guinea. 110, Bold-
street, Liverpool.
BRITISH INDlA.—British dominion in India may now
be said to comprise a territory fluctuating between, if it
cannot be admitted virtually to comprehend, an expanse
of surface varying from 553,000 to 1,280,000 square miles;
with a population alternating between the extremes of
83,000,000 and 134,000,000 of human souls. Surrounded
by the extensive and fertile countries of China Burmah,
Siam, Persia, Arabia, and the Eastern Archipelago, it
may be described as comprising some of the richest and
most sumptuous portions of—the globe, terminated by a
sea-coast of 1,500 miles, indented with various harbours,
.and an interior intersected by the magnificent streams of
the Ganges, the Brahmapootra, and the Indus. In cli-
mate, it is classed by the latest authorities as falling under
three general divisions, viz., the Himmaleth, the belt of
the flat country, extending frona_the Indus to the Brah-
mapootra, and Peninsular India. In short, reaching as
our Asiatic possessions do from within six degrees of the
equinoctial line to the thirty-fifth degree of northern la-
titude, it may be easily perceived to possess a range from
the temperature of the torrid zone to.the region of per-
petual snow. The agricultural wealth of such a realm is
of course of the grandest to be conceived, comprehending
all the demands of the vastest commerce. that could be
prosecuted. Yet, what is the reason that ,such rich and
profuse elements have not attained their rank in the mar-
kets of the world ? How is it that we import cotton from
America ; wheat from various quarters of the globe ; tal-
low, flax, hemp, from Russia ; that we squabble about
sugar from Brazil—when India is the natural storaouse
of the empire for every raw product to he yielded by the
bounteousness of nature? The trade of India with the
whole world has been estimated at about £30,000,000
sterling annually. It may well be hoped to be only in
its infancy. It is, however, delightful to reflect upon the
impetus which must naturally he given to it by the in-
crease of her steam power, and the introduction of rail-
