THESE Depositories afford complete security to valuable Property from Depredation or They are made in the best manner, and being entirely of Wrought-iron, combined with effective and well-proved non conductors of heat, and secured by Cumin's Patent Detector Locks, will resist Intense Heat, the falling of timbers and brickwork in case of Fire, or the skill and force of the most determined burglar. Their Fireproof qualities are well known, and have been subjected to frequent severe tests. No instance has - been found where they have been in Fires in which the contents were injured. Mr. Br • , u erinten dent of the London Fire Brigade, st ee , a few months since, in a discussion before the "In ' ition of Civil Engineers," that in every Fire in which had found Safes of Chubb's manufacture, the Books Papers were Preserved, and that in nearly all cases w e others were used their contents were destroyed. No bett testimonial of their safety can be required than the many thousands which have been in use in various parts of the world ,for several years and have given complete satisfaction. CHUBB'S PATENT DETECTOR LOCKS are made for every purpose to which a Lock can be applied. They afford perfect security, and are extremely simple and durable. They have been characterised by the Comptroller of her Majesty's Stationery Office, J. R. M'Culloch, Esq., as " the best Locks made," as will be seen by the following extract from the evi dence taken before a recent Select Committee of the House of Commons:—" /t is allowed by everybody who knows anything about the matter, that Chubb's Locks are the best Locks made now." They are consequently now used in all the Government Offices. ANNUAL SALE OF WINTER STOCK. HARRISON BROTHERS having, after serious consideration, come to the determination of CLEARING OUT THEIR STOCK left over each season, with the view of being enabled to offer for sale every successive sea iran ENTIRE NEW STOC GOODS, beg to inform their Friends an Public, that they are now OFFERING THEIR CK OF FURS, SHAWLS, MANTLES AVELLING CLOAKS, FRENCH MB OBS, COBURGS, SILKS, EVENING D FANCY WINTER DRESSES, &C.. at such a Red Lion in Price as must ensure satisfaction to all Purchasers. 1 AND 2, WATERLOO-PLACE, TOP OF CHURCH-STREET. — eifilßß'S PATENT BAR LOCKS form a simple means of securing the Doors of Warehouses, &c., as they possess great strength. CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES, for Street Doors, Count ing•houses, &c., are perfectly secure against any attempts to open them by means of false keys or picklocks. The common Latches, and those called " Patent." in general use, afford not the slightest safety, but may even be opened by . numbers of keys dissimilar to their own, and, as an outer door in particular should be properly secured, CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES are strongiy recommended as the most effectual means of safety. They have neat and portable Keys, and are low in price. CHUBB'S CASHBOXES and JAPANNED DEEDBOXES are all fitted with the Detector Locks. C. CHUBB and SON, 57, ST.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c. A/FILNER'S " HOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST -11111 ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud; 20,000 of them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe• riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this year. wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the following is selected, as one out of many instanees in which everything was consumed in the buildings e ►ng what Milner's Safe contained:— "Clyde-street, Anderston, G ow, May 7, 1849. "Gentlemen,—At the calamitous 'esterday morning, by which our premises, and stock of ' , tallow, &c., were totally destroyed, our books were pre ed in the Milner's Fireproof Safe, purchased from you, e have great pleasure in thus bearing testimony to the at efficiency of these Safes. "CHARLES BOYD and Co. "This Safe was t severely tested, the brass knob and brass work about e lock were melted off." _ _ "Glasgow, 10th February, 1849, "Gentlemen,'—The books and papers which we had in your Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure is communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a protection against fire, and an invention with which the public cannot be too well acquainted. " We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, "KIM, DOERING, and Co. " Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool." The outside of the above Sate was completely burnt through. "Triumphant Resistance to Robbers." "Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be broken open last night ; but notwithstanding the great and persevering violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and back of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through the outer plates in numerous places,) the lock and bolts re mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6 "Glasgow, Dec. 21, 1848 JAS. RICHARDSON and Co." "Manchester. Auszust 13th. 1847. "Gentlemen,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which ens tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my Ware house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you that my books, together with a . quantity of valuable papers, watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire esisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public. "I am, your obedient servant, "THOMAS HAIGH, " Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street and Market-street. "Messrs. MILNER and Sox." In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—every description of Safe in use—Fire-proof (so called) or otherwise, have been burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of no scientific and practical authorities who have tested them; and the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their pa tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables, including the strongest Wrought-Iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britain—the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of se vere trial in accidental Fires have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have preserved its contents unburnt : Fire at Mr. J. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most severely burnt outside. Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders, Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in them, including the contents of a large Iron Safe and Drawers, standing beside Milner's ; the contents of Milners' uninjured, and in use now. Firs at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong Fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only thing saved on the premises. Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth; a very extensive and destructive Fire; a large Iron Snfe, covered with Brick work, with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's entirely preserving its contents. Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and Closets burnt out ; no books saved throughout the buildiags excepting Messrs. S. R. a. , d Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.

HARRISON & CO. beg respectfully to call 40 • the attention of Bankers, Merchants, Solicitors, and all parties having the care of BOOKS, DEEDS, RECORDS, PLATE, JEWELLERY, &c. TANN'S SAFES are made entirely o rong Wrought Iron, and have been found effectually t sist the attempts of the most skilful Burglars, being fitt with the PATENT RELI ANCE LOCK, which has bee nvented expressly for the pur pose. They are also a sure RESTS NCE TO FIRE, as they contain a C ical Compound—the discovery of the Patentees—which ' deposited in a double chamber, between the outer plate the inner lining of the Safe, which remains unaffected at very high temperature, and merely fuses when it is increased to a degree at which MOST OTHER SUBSTANCES become decomposed ; the water of crystalization, being then driven off, protects the contents of the Safe, by keeping them moist, at a much greater heat than is required for the de struction of the most substantial building. The advantage which this compound possesses over every other non-conductor of heat hitherto invented is, that it will be found to remain in the same state for an indefinite length of time. and by that means be as effective in the case of fire 50 or 100 years hence, as on the day the Safe was first made. See printed Circular, containing the names of a great number of Gentlemen con nected with mercantile pursuits, in the Metropolis and else where, in verification of the public tests to which TANN'S PATENT CHESTS have seen subjected. At the late fire on Mr. Whittaker's pre mises, Water-lane. Blackfriars, one of these Safes preserved its contents uninjured, while SAFES OF OTHER DESCRIP TIONS ENTIRELY FAILED. Not only do these Safes afford the most perfect security against Fire and Robbery, but the workmanship and interior fittings are far superior to any yet offered, and at fully from 25 to 40 PER CENT. LESS THAN THE USUAL PRICES. STRONG CASH AND DOLLAR CHESTS, FOR EXPORTATION. MANUFACTURERS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION OF BEST LOCKS AND LATCHES Also 2,3, and 6 Lever Detector Locks, for every purpose.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIR, —In 1848, I published some statistics showing the state of my district—as concerns its population. education, religion, and morals. I shall be obliged by an inser tion of the table in your paper. The former statistics were framed upon information gleaned from actual visits paid by myself, accompanied by my Scrip ture reader (the only helper I then had) to every house in the district, and the corrections are the fruits of a second and similar visitation. I find that the population has increased from 9,336 to 9,558, and to its spiritual and moral destitution I again wish to direct attention. I am anxious particularly to call attention to the Parish Schools, which are, I am sorry to remark, in a very inefficient condition, in consequence of the wretchedly dilapidated sate of the school buildings. This is the more lamentable, as in my first visitation I ascertained that St. Bartholomew's district parish contained 956 families, with children sufficiently old to attend school; and that, out of this number, the children in 235 families received no education whatever, whilst the children in 236 others attended Sunday Schools only. Upon these facts I based an earnest appeal for pecuni • assistance in carrying out my plans for the erection o ew schools •in these, however, I have, I regret to say, bee nsuc cessful;for I have hitherto been unable to obtain a per site. My only resource lies, therefore, in improvin: e present school-house, which it is proposed to effect b . sing the roof, repairing the boys' school, and enlargin; . • d improving the buildings in other respects. To effect these alterations, the sum of £5OO will be required ; and I trust that those who know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and feel for the spiritual wants of their poorer brethren, or who are interested in the spread of sound Scriptural education, will afford us their kind assistance in the present urgent necessity. Donations will be thankfully received at the Bank of Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and Co. ; by the Churchwardens of St. Bartholomew's; and by . Your obedient and obliged servant, WILLIAM DUNCAN LONG, M.A., Perpetual Curate of St. Bartholomew's , LIVERPOOL STANDARD. P.S.—A second Scripture Reader has just commenced his labours in my parish. I have made myself responsible for his salary for three months, and now appeal earnestly for special subscriptions to enable me to employ him permanently in a district which contains 9,558 immortal beings.

Moor: : Esq„ . and iresolved, 1. That although the ay Directors have withdrawn from any lead in the matte f the threatened Government inter ference in the man went of Railways (under the name of Auditors, or nomi tors of the Auditors, of the Companies' Accounts), this 14 eting is decidedly of 'opinion that any such interference wo d be most inexpedient, objectionable, and unnecessary. 2. That a - Committee be now appointed to confer with London and North-Western Shareholders in other towns, and, if thought fit, with Committees or bodies of Shareholders in other Railways, with a view to the consideration of the course now proper to be adopted by Shareholders in reference not only to the question of audit, but to the other and equally important questions affecting the management of the affairs of Railway Companies which are dealt with in the Bill now before us. 3. That whilst this Meeting are not prepared at once to approve of all the details of the Bill now submitted, yet its general character, the extended powers it contains for a more efficient audit, and its exclusion of all interference on the part of Government in the affairs of the Companies, fully entitles it to the support of the Shareholders in the London and North- Western Railway. 4.

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY. THE COMMITTEE regret that the d e p resse d s t a t e of the Funds of the Society obliges them to make an im mediate and earnest appeal to the Public on its behalf. The income of the Society, derived from Annual Subscriptions, falls far short of what is required for its efficient maintenance, and the Committee, in making this appeal to their Fellow townsmen, are confident that it will be met with the same liberality and promptitude winch they have invariably expe rienced on former occasions.
