The whole of the outside of this Safe was half inch wrought. iron, proof against sl e dge-hammers, chisels, or any other ♦io lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Merchant's safes in course of construc tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which w. invite the attention of the Public. Our Works are the most extensive and complete of their class in the world, employing more experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the most approved and powerful machinery) than all the Safe makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well worth looking ever. Its whole operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and gars, from the thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter, to the building•up of these superb and massive safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange. n.ent of their powerful Hinges, , Bolts, and impregnable Locks —altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and the Man of Science. TIM MILNER AND SON, 54, LORD-STREET. DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT, REMOVED TO 9, GREAT rVINCHENTER-STREET, OLD BROAD-STREET, NEAR THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies, and other Pdbfic Bodies. The AVTLCORROSION PAINT has been used by Cue Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer and better than the very best White Lead or any other description of Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, ati the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bo dies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other Outbuildings, Con- sent Slating. It will be found a .very superior preservative of Iron Steam •Boats, Iron Bridges, Piers, or any other extensive Iron.Worlia. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of old stoneorbrick Mansions, Churcl ,or other Public Edifices requiring an effectual defence tio• st-the elements. It is par ticularly-recommended to W India and other Colonial Pro prietors,Emigrants, and persons connected with the Colo nies, whowilbfind it to and all climates better than any other Paint. The superi yof the Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint maybe ens' inferred from the simple fact that its use has been:alway most strenuously opposed by Color Manufac turers and others interested in the sale of Common Paint. Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their Outbuildings, Sac. praperly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving-by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti- Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving the enormous charges generally made by painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length of time.

Loss of Appetite, Sick Head-ache, Giddi ness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness, and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels; Indiges tion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted o f its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ' • a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys w ill rapidly take place ; and in stead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed I " lth, will be the quick result of taking this medicine, accor ng to the directions accompa nying each pox. These Pills are particul y efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortnes t Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages ; a ,if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly store the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of eFULL HABIT, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For FEMALES, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallow n e ss of th e Ski n , an d give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To MOTHERS they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled.

ILLUMINATED GLASSES.—We have heard of a perti nacious old gentleman who insisted upon adding to the dignity of his venerable appearance by adopting a pair of spectacles ; but he failed in procuring glasses clear enough to answer his purpose, and it was not till the cunning optician placed a pair of frames instead of spectacles on his nose that he discovered his pardonable vanity could not be satisfied without the partial sacrifice of his other wise perfect vision. Our attention has been directed to an improvement which is calculated to remove all objec tions to glasses for the eye, both for those who heed them and those who do not. Mr. Joseph Perks, optician, of Exchange-street East, has introduced to the public an illuminating or polishing process, which renders glass clear and beautifully transparent. Spectacles and all kinds of magnifying glasses are susceptible of illumina tion, and, speaking from experience, we may say from close inspection, we hail the invention as a new light in science which must meet with appreciation and encou ragement. The cost of the adaptation is trifling ; and Mr. Perks' charges for new illuminated glasses are rea sonable, we may safely say fifty per cent. lower than those of snore pretending though leis experienced opticians.

Itseurative agency is based upon a true theory of the causes of Toothache, and hence its great success. By most other remedies it is sought to kill the nerve, and so stop the pain. But to destroy the nerve is itself a very painful operation, and often leads to very sad consequences, for the tooth then becomes a dead substance in the li v i ng jaw, and produces the same amount of inflammation and pain as would result from any any other foreign body embedded in a living organ. BRANDE'S ENAMEL does not destrby the nerve, but by restoring the shell of the Tooth, coptfletely protects the nerve from cold, heat, or chemical nr.,6ther agency by which pain is caused.

He intended to make the state ment on Friday next, but in the meantime it was abso lutely necessary that some votes should be given on ac- count of the array estimates, as on account of the fi► year having ceased this day, no money could be paid out of the Exchequer until the votes had been made by the House.—Mr. ELLIS entreated the honourable member for Montrose not to press his motion.— Mr. W. WILLIAMS and Mr. W. C. CRAWFORD sup ported the motion, urging that it would be sufficient to overcome the difficulty stated by the CHANCELLOR of s were After some discussion the motion was withdr4wn, and the house went into committee of supply upon the army esti . . mates ; on the motion that £3,521,070 be voted to defray the charge of maintaining the land forces. Mr. HUME moved as an amendment that £2,000,000 be voted on account. In the course of the discussion which followed, Mr. HUME protested against the favouritism displayed in the pay of the Life Guards, and against the charge of £11,870 for the expenses of the troops necessary to garrison the Gold Coast lately King of Do ' - IkT ..-enmark.--Air. Fox - MAULE defended the constitution of the Life Guards, who received no higher pay than the other troops, and had been found very useful in cases of sudden emergency.— After a long descussion, in which Colonel Dunne and Reide, Messrs.

After a short discussion, the committee divided and the motion was lost by 84 to 15. The vote was then agreed to.—On the vote of £159,952 to defray the expenses of the staff, Mr. HUME complained of the maintenance of so large a staff in a tranquil country in time of peace. LEFT SITTING, THE GREAT EXHIBITION-ANOTHER STRIKE At 9 30 this morning, the painters and carpenters showed great disinclination to proceed with their work. but that on last Saturday the half hours during the week were deducted from each man. No strike was expected, and the consequence was that nearly all the men had left the building before that hour. MISS TALBOT'S CASE.—COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. Rolt resumed his arguments on behalf of Dr. Doyle, and they occupied the whole day. The Lord Chancellor remarked that the Bishop of Clifton's letter was a most extraordinary one, as he stated distinctly that Miss Talbot went to the convent to become a Postulant, and the affidavits attested the contrary. His Lordship had evinced no rej to the marriage proposed to her, but the contrary ; and his objection to the marriage was that the gentleman had not a fortune equal to that of the young lady's and he was not satisfied with the answers he had received. NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND.—A special meeting was held to-day. Messrs. W. Atwood and Edward Flet cher were elected directors. PARIS, MONDAY.-Th€ Siecle states that very proba bly a new ministry will be announced in the Moniteur of Monday, but the truth of the statement is doubted. The news of further disturbances at Fribourg, in Switzerland, was incorrect. The entire frontier on the French side of Switzerland is perfectly tranquil, although agitators are not idle. The Fives are quoted at 94 5. ITALY.—A Turin paper of the 26th states, that the celebrated Brigand Passatore, has fallen in a skirmish with the Papal troops. The Vienna Gazette has a letter from Rhodes of the 7th, stating that the earthquake was not confined to that island alone, but was severly felt on the Asiatic continent opposite.

If a parent has died during the •ear, the abbess assembles the nuns. She tells them tliat the parents of one of them is dead, and desires all to pray for the soul of the departed ; but she never reveals the name of the dead, so that all the nuns are left in a state of intense and agonising suspense till the one day comes round, and all listen to catch the tone of their parent's voices, and the absence of the longed-for voice tells the tale of the be reaved recluse !—Seymovr's Pilgrimage to Rome. It BLIND __A NDS BUFF . — It may riot be that this favourite sport of childhood is c known and of very high antiquity, having been inti,. England in the train of the Norman conquerors. French name " Colin Maillard," was that of a brave war rior, the memory of whose exploits lives in the chro nicles of the middle ages. In the year 999. Liege reckoned among its valiant chiefs Jean Colin. He owed the name, of Maillard to his chosen weapon being a mallet, where with in fight he used literally to crush his opponents. In one of those feuds of such perpetual recurrence in those times, he encountered the Count de Louvain in a pitched battle, and in the first onset Coln Maillard lost both his eyes ; he ordered his esquire to take him into the thickest of thefight, and furiously brandishing his mallet A; duced into Its u such elf for him fearful execution that victory soon declared its When Robert of France heard of these feats of arms he lavished favours and honours upon him, and so great was the fame of the exploit, that it was commemorated in the pantomimic representations that formed part of the rude dramatic performances of the age ; by degrees the chil dren learned to act it for themselves, and it took the form of the familiar sport. The blind-folded pursuer, as with bandaged eyes and extended hand, he gropes for a victim to pounce upon, seems in some degree to repeat the action of Colin Maillard, the tradition of which is also traceable in our name of blind man's buff. It would seem, then, that the game is nothing less thajka myth in action, having for its nucleus the historic fact of this feat of arms.—Eliza Cook's Journal. CATS AND GAME.—Passing by a cottage near Scari briek•hall, lately, there were the skins o ine cats The keeper said they had been ends, and he wished to raPt- stretched noon a boaru taken with traps in the -.se an example of them. He had prepared their stuns with alum and salt, and was about to convert them into waistcoats and slippers. There was one a beautiful tortoise shell, and another a beautiful black and white ; and it seemed a pity that such fine creatures should be destroyed. It appears, however, that several pheasants had lately been destroyed by the cats near the park, and ono was recently found at the root of a tree, half-eaten. The pheasants sleep at the top of trees, where they consider themselves safe from man and beast ; but, while they are asleep, the cats climb cautiously and sieze them unawares. The cats are equally destructive amongst other kinds of game, de stroying, young partridges and h a res. I n a " co tt age near a wood, ' that is situated in another part of Lancashire, was a cat that frequently brought home game about mid night ; and once it came up stairs dragging a fine hare that it had killed. Puss was a regular poacher. He brought home, at sundry titne, , , a covey of young partridges all but one. His mistress, looking one evening through the win dow. saw her cat setting the last partridge (like a pointer), and he was ready to sp r in g upon it, when " bang went a gun, and over went poor puss in the agonies of death. The keeper had found out his propensities, and, detecting him about to destroy game, he had punished him with death.
