Milner and Son , "Gentlemen,—l am glad to inform you that the Safe I pur chased from you eight years ago, defeated the most violent efforts of some thieves who obtained access to my premises last night. They had cut a large hole in the outer plate, and tried to force off the lock, or to force open the door, with a powerful "jemmy" (which they left behind them,) but without success, as we found the Cash and Books " safe" this morning. Please send me another, the same size, of youellnprovedpake. . fi DAVID WCLELLAN Price-street, Liverpool t Ilfg.ol6h, 1851." Note.—The Safe alluded ove was one of our weakest and lightest make—strong -iron tinned,—improved upon many years ago.—T. M. a . ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF MILNER'S " HOLDFAST" SAFES. BURGLARY AT OLDHAM. " Middle Level Drainage, Contractor's Office, March (Cambridgeshire), 21st October, 1850, "Sir, —My premises, in Oldham, were broken into on the night of Wednesday last, and strong, but am glad to say unsuccessful efforts made to get at the eJntents of the Milner 's " Holdfast" Safe you supplied me with some two years ago. I am glad to be able to bear this testimony to their value- You are quite at liberty to make what use you think proper of this. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "HENRY EVANS. "Mr. Davies, Agent for Milner's Safes " 28, Market-street. Manchester." NOTE.—we supplied Mr. Evans with the above No. 3 Hold. fast for Oldham, and a No. 6 Holdfast, and two Chests. for March. in January, 1848. P. R. D. THOMAS MILNER and Sox have great pleasurein publishing the above so immediately after the following : TO BULLION DEALERS, BANKERS, AND ALL HOLDERS OF CASH, PLATE, AND VALUABLE PROPERTY. ExtraordiTary and Successful Resistance to Robbers. MILNERS'S "HOLDFAST" AND FIRE-RESTS'FING SAFE. the Strongest Safeguard against _Robbery and Fire. Early last year, Mei'sia. Wm. - Watson and Co., (late Watson Brothers) applied to Thos. Milner and Son to construct for them one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain 10.000 dollars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the mountains from the mines to Tempe°. The gentleman writing for the Safe was at the time lying confined to his bed, from a bullet and two bayonet wounds he had received in an attack of the Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe he then used was broken up, and plundered of a large amount of specie. The Safe and Waggon constructed for it were exhi bited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met with great approval from several of our engineers and practical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the public; and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have re ceived the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Wat son, who has since given us per•mt”ion to publish it : " Liverpool, Derby-braidings, 20th Sept., 1850. " Mr. Watson presents his compliments to Mr. Milner, and has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter, dated the 11th ultimo, from his partner atTampico : `The iron waggon and safe (es Josephine), with sixty bars of silver, was attacked by forty-rocbers between Catore and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the chest, and they did not succeed; meantime assistance came from San Luis Potosi.' ' This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no doubt, lead to further orders.' " The whole of the outside of this safe was half inch wrought iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other violence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Mer chant's Safes in course of coustruetion — one for a Diamond Merchant in London—to which we invite the attention of the Public. Our Wrrks 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 Safernakers in England together —a Lancashire Workshop well worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought iron Plates and Bars, from the tickness of ;half-a-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 arrangement of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks—altogether are well worthy the study of the mechanic and the man of science. The Fre-resisting reputation of Milner's Safes is founded upon experiments of scientific men, anti facts; by the former their superiority to others has been proved ; and something better than the merely negative fame of never having been tried is elicited from the following among hundreds of in stances:— Fires at Blacksßees shin chandlery stores, Liverpool; at M es srs. J. and W. Walker's, builders, Birkenhead; at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, outfitters, Liyerpooi; at Plimsaul Brothers, chandlery stores, Plymouth ; at S. and R. and Thos.

THE JUVENILE SEASON.— " June," with the juniors, is a welcome month, for while our universities and other public schools enjoy their own periods of relaxation from mental toil, a vacation at this time commences with the " younger branches," and " meetings and greetings" are ex changed with a warmth and sincerity which would lead us really to conclude that " absence makes the heart grow fonder" with parents and-children at least. It is the practice of HYAM at fine like the present to invite the especial attentioqpiparents and guardians to his preparations for thing. It issadinitted on all as that a remarkable change has taken place of years in the manner of attiring youth, and it w c be impossible for an individual of twenty or tit' years of age to call to mind his first suit withou an acquiescence in the truth of this re k. An unsightly style of attire, resembling a page's uni form, is rejected for a description of dress perfectly different in cut affri'make, and infinitely more elegant. The present assortment of HYA APS Juvenile Dress is altogether new, and a more beautiful stock of attire it would be impossible to find. HYAM has bestowed the utmost pains on the design of his Juvenile articles, and an adaptation to the various ages of Children, Bo) s and Youths, is admirably ef fected in the Fashions under consideration. A beco ming pride in the appearance of the young is a growing principle with parents and guardians, who will find, on inspection, that HYAM is fully alive to its opera tion. The purchase of Juvenile Dress should be attended with economy, as should everything else ; and parents are assured of the fact, that cheapness is a ruling prin ciple with HYANI, who makes a large sacrifice of pro fit without manifesting any deterioration in point of fashion or quality. Such is a legitimate statement of facts. HYAM repeats that the best Juvenile Attire, the most novel and fashionable, as well as the cheapest, is the stock which he has prepared for the Midsummer season of 1851.

Extract of a Letter from MO. Matthew Harvey, of Chapel Hall, Airdrie, Scotland,,ated the 15th of January, 1850. To Professor HoLLow4y , f - _ Sig,—Your valuab ills have been the means, with God's blessing, of restori me to a state of perfect health, and at a time when 1 thou b t I was on the brink of the grave. I had consulted several eminent doctors, who, after doing what they could for me, stated that they considered my case as hopeless. I ought to say . that I had been suffering from a Liver and Sto mach complaint of long standing, which during the last two years got so much worse that every one considered my condi tion as hopeless. 1 as a last resource got a Box of your Pills, which soon gave relief, and by persevering in their use for some weeks, together with rubbing night and morning your Ointment over my chest and stomach, and right side, I have by their means alone got completely cured, and to the astonish ment of myself and every body who knows me. (Signed) mArniEw HARVEY. CURE OF A CASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEB LITY, OF FOUR YEARS' STANDING. , „ Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Smith, of No. 5, Little Thomas-street, Oibson-street, Lambeth, dated Dee. 12th 1849. To Professor HOLLOWAY. _ _ SIR,—I beg to inform you that for nearly five years I had ly knew what it was to have a day's health, suffering from extreme weakness and debility, with constant nervous headaches, gid diness, and sickness of the stomach, together with a great depression of spirits. I used to think that nothing could benefit me, as I had been to many medical men, some of whom after doing all that was in their power, informed me that they considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach of cure, together with a very disordered state of the stomach and liver, making my case so complicated that nothing could be done for me. One day being unusually ill and in a dejected state, I saw your Pills advertised, and resolved to give them a trial, more perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of being cared; however, I soon found myself better by taking them, and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, when I am happy to say they effected a perfect cure. (Signed) WILLIAM SMITH, (frequently called EDWARD.) These celebrated Pills are wonderfully efficacious in thefollow. ing complaints : Agne Ferns!'

ADDITIONAL ADVERTISEMENT.] WRECK OF THE HALCYON-SAVING OF 300 PASSENGERS. AT a MEETING of the PASSENGERS w recked in the HALCYON, from Liverpool to New York, held on the 30th June, 1851, It was resolved unanimously.— That our best thanks are due to ,Captain Wade, of the Hal cyon, not only for the kind treatment we received up to the time of our disaster, but for his exemplary conduct on such a try ing occasion, and his indefatigable exertions in mitigating the / wants of those around 'which were much lessened by his sharing to the last the lowance of provisions, and manifest ing such sympathy ' our sufferings, and allaying the terror natural on such aeualty ; being the last person to leave the sinking ship, havj g remained perilously endeavouring to obtain an adequate sufiply of provisions from the wreck.—This we wish equally to apply to Mr. Peters, the chief mate, who risked his life to save us. That our thanks are also due to Captain Gates, of the W. H. Wharton, and Captain Latham, of the Connecticut, for their humanity in affording us (with the fear of death before us) their able and efficacious services, and also for their after kindness—kindnesses too great for words to express. That we are also indebted to Messrs. Hamden and Co. for the promptitude with which we were, on our return, relieved with money and provisions; and also for the handsome dona tion of £25 they have given to a contemplated subscription to enable us to obtain the necessary extra provisions, bedding, &c., to proceed in the ship in which they have procured us, without further cost, passages to New York. That we cannot dose this meeting without expressing our thanks to Lieut. Hodder and Lieut. Prior for their attentions, and recording generally our favourable opinions of the intelli gence of the commanders, the excellence of the ships, and the quality of stores provided for us in the vessels to which we have alluded. RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.—We perceive that the unfortunate passengers, who were wrecked on board the Halcyon, have passed resolutions expressive of their grati tude to the captain and mate, for their painstaking and persevering exertions to promote their safety and comfort, and to the gallant commanders who were the means of rescuing them. They also gratefully record their obliga tions to Messrs. Hamden, for so promptly adopting mea sures of effectual relief; and their strong opinion of the excellence of the ships, and of the quality of the stores provided for them. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Thh gardens are now duly licensed by the magistrates for the performance of the light pieces by the Vaudeville company, which have now become so popular. Ou Friday, being the anniversary of American Independence, a splendid representation will be added to the numerous other attractions. It is not the fault of the enterprising proprietress if the public are not satiated with delight. ROCHDALE SAVINGS BANK.—A circular has been ad dressed to the members of parliament by the committee of depositors in the Rochdale Savings Bank. The com mittee urge the parliament to make good the loss of £38,000 which they have sustained by the defalcation of Mr. Howarth, their late auditor, on the ground that par liament has, by its frequent interference, come un der a moral obligation to protect the depositors, while the laxity of the government supervision, in this particular instance, required them to be held responsible; and the relief given to the depositors in the Cuffe-street Bank in Dublin, and to the pensioners who were depositors in the Rochdale, afforded sufficient precedents for the govern ment taking the loss upon themselves. THE DECORATIVE ART.—In no branch of the decora tive art have the rise and progress been more rapid than in that of paper staining; arid this is fully verified in the recent decorations that, by way of specimens, have been placed to adorn the walls of the shops of Messrs. Cuffiey and lleighway. The rude figures of old are discarded — elegance has succeeded the commonplace design—and de corations may now be classed amongst the arts. The ceiling of one shop is in the Elizabethan style, and is chastely elegant, though plain. In the other apartment the ceiling is formed into panels of rich French arabesque, intermingled with groups and running borders of flowers, most delicate in shade, and rich in colour. The centre, in a circle, consists of figures of playful urchins flying a dove. The panels round the walls are all various in form and style, but they are so tastefully arranged, that harmony is not destroyed. The richness of many of the centres ex ceeds any thing we have before seen. They will serve well the object for which they are intended. ANACHRONISMS or PAINTERS.—I send you a further addition to the " Anachronisms of Painters," and, like them, not in Disraeli's list. My father, R. Robinson, of the Heath-house, Wombourne, has in his collection a picture, by Steenwyk, of the " Woman taken in Adul tery," in which our Lord is made to write in Dutch ! The scene also takes place in a church of the architecture of the thirteenth century.—Notes Querief. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SELF-SUPPORTING BUILDING SOCIETY. A lecture was delivered in the course of last week at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-street, by the Rev. H. Smith, Senior Chaplain to the Government Juvenile Prison, Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, on the principles and objects of the Church of England Self-Supporting Village Society, the objects of which he explained to be as follows t It was proposed by the Society, that establishments, con sisting of 400 families should be formed, in which instruc tion might be afforded, and the religious ordinances administered on the principles of the Church of England. combining agricultural with manufacturing employment. Each such establishment was to consist of a square of buildings extending over an area of thirty-bur acres, containing three hundred cottages ; each cottage to have tour rooms, so that every man might enjoy the privacy of his own home, in the midst of 1000 acres of land, a por tion of which was mere waste land. The cost of one of these villages had been estimated at £50,000, to be raised by loans . or by subscriptions. It was supposed that the amount of profit, taking the earnings at £lB,OOO a year, and the expenses at £14,000, would leave a balance suffi cient to pay off the capital in ten or fourteen years. There would be a res id en t c l ergyman an d di rector, a i de d byaspstant managers. S ome cou ld b e occup i e d i n re claiming and cultivating the land, and others in various trades. The means of improvement would consist of schools, and every assistance would be provided for the physical, mental, and spiritual advancement of the in mates. There would be a church, a museum, a botanical garden, a training college, &c. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF THE LONDON AND‘ WESTMINSTER BANK.—A clever robbery was defeated on Saturday last, by the vigilance of Inspector Lund and Sergeant Wickir. These officers had noticed some months ago that a returned convict was lurking about the London and Westminster Bank : he was joined by an old man named C iuty. The thieves had not matured their plans until Saturday last, when they suc ceeded in carrying off the bank cash box, which occasion ally contained as much as £100,( 00. They were taker: into custody before they had proceeded 200 yards. The box then only contained some marked notes and papers ;_ so arranged between the police and the authorities of tit* bank. Lord and Lady John Manners have 'arrived in towri from the Duke of Rutland's romantic seat, Haddon-hall. Derbyshire. At Bradford, Margaret Slinger, aged thirty-one, went up stairs last week, whilst an operation was being per— formed on the eyes of her child, and when called she was found to be dead. On Monday morning one of the fishing boats belonging to Stanathro, Aberdeenshire, was upset off that village, by a sudden squall, and of the crew, six in number, four were drowned. The Queen has signified her intention of visiting her Majesty's Theatre in state on Saturday, the sth of July. The night will be an extra one, thus affording the public the opportunity of testifying their loyalty. The prepara tions w►ll bo upon a scale of unparalleled splendour. On Monday, the scaffold under Blaekfriar's-bridge, ort which three men were standing, gave way. Two of then' managed to cling to the timbers, but the third, Johrt Phelos, fell, and in his descent his head struck the abut ment Sand his brains were dashed out. TROOPS FOR THE CAPE.—The authorities at the Horse Guards have forwarded instructions to Madras and the Mauritius for the embarkation of the 51st Light In. fantry, and the reserve battalion, 12th Regiment, for the colony, should Sir Harry consider that he requires further reinforcements to act on the offensive against the Kaffirs. On the 18th instant a man was found in the Thames,. near Chertsey, with his throat fearfully cut and his skull. fractured. A surgeon, after examination, expressed it as his opinion that the skull had been fractured after death.. and from the direction of the wound that he had first cnt his own throat, and afterwards precipitated himself into the river. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.-011 Saturday last, a young man named Entwistle, who accompanied a party in a railway trip to Fleetwood, when the train was near Preston, incautiously mounted upon the carriage until he gained such an altitude that his head came in contact with. a bridge, and he was forcibly driven into the succeeding carriage : he never spoke more, and died almost imme diately. The South Devon mail train, on the up journey on Monday evening, when near Totness, passed over & man, completely severing the head from the trunk. The railways are sending into London an immense daily quota of visitors, and the North-western being under contract to convey 1,600,000 persons to the Exhibition, the drafts to commence from the Ist July, and to continue throughout the month, it is thought not improbable that, before many weeks, there may be as many as 100,000 visitors to the Co stal Palace in a day. Should the ap plications rise to that amount, those who are best qualified to judge think that some restrictive regulations will be necessary, as it is thought that 60,000 is quite as great a number as can be at one time in such a way as to fulfil. the object of their visit. CHURCH-BUILDING SOCIETT.-At the meeting of this Society for the present month, held by adjournment on. Monday last, eighteen new grants were made and three former grants increased. The new grants arc for building new churches at Lorrimore, parish of St. Mary, Newing ton ; Pont Robert, near Welchpool ; Pont y Rhun, parish of Merthyr Tidvil ; Aberdare; Forest-hill, parish of Lew isham ; Hove, near Brighton ; for rebuilding the churches at Halton, parish of Runcorn ; Great Crosby, near Liver pool ; Llanrhystid, near Aberystwith ; and Risca, near Newport; for enlargement, re-arrangement of seats, &c., at Llanfair, neer Harlech ; Rodington, near Shrewsbury ; Newton in Makerfield, near Warrington ; Egerton, near Maidstone; Stockbury, near Sittingbourne ; Tingewicit near Buckingham ; Timsbury, near Bath ; and Tibberton, near Worcester. A legacy of £lOO, free of duty, has been bequeathed to the Society by Miss Wightwick, of Chert sev. The next meeting of the society. to be held in July, will be the last for the present season. " ALEXANDER THE GREAT. " —Among the various exhibitions, sights, and wonders that are congregating round the Great Exhibition—which, by the way, appears to be by no means acting the part of a respectable brood hen, but is rather stifling than protecting them under the shadow of its giant wings —is a gigantic Ayrshire ox, appropriately named Alexander the Great, and which. under any other circumstances, would he looked upon as a "great" curiosity. It weighs, we are credibly informed, no less than one ton seven hundred and a-half, or 385 stone, and stands nearly six feet high. It was bred and reared in Ayrshire, and is of the true Scotch breed, giving undeniable evidence of the good living it evjoyed upon the estate of his Grace the Duke of Portland. Unlike most of these overgrown animals, the Ayrshire ox is by no means over fed. Its symmetry is perfect, and it is active upon its limbs, which are taper and well formed. Should the increasing demands of the public upon M. Soyer's establishment in the same neighbourhood render it necessary that the ox should be sacrificed for the benefit of the public at large, we shall feel much satisfac tion in assisting at the interesting event in order to test by the ultima ratio our opinion of its merits.

He was in the same watch with William Millar, on board the Prince of Wales ; was also of the party which landed ; and not only saw the cairn, but was engaged in pulling it down when recalled to the ship.. The evidence of these two witnesses differs in some unimportant points, but they agree not only in the exist ence of the cairn, but also as to its position, namely, on the south shoreabout 150 miles from the entrance to the Sound; and equally state, that a little higher up, the channel widened and apparently entered by an open sea. We learn by way of corroboration that William Millar repeatedly mentioned that he had seen a cairn, on his return to Orkney, but his statement received little or no attention, although he is a man of known integrity and truthfulness, from the fact that its importance was not understood." Our contemporary also states that. in 1849. Lady Franklin, who was accompanied by Dr. Scoresby, while investigating the report, was told by the master of the Prince of Wales that, the preceding season, on leaving an unknown sound, north of Lancaster Sound, some of his men had mentioned having seen a cairn, but that it was not possible for him then to go back. It is also added. that Sir John Franklin had intimated an intention of looking into the sounds north and west of Baffin's Bay. PRECOCITY OF BALFh'S GENIUS.—Just as he bad entered his fifth year, be received his first lesson in music from his kind friend and band-master. Three months produced such wonderful results that Meadows began to think he could do very little more for his pupil, and therefore resolved to visit his father again and inform him that it was high time to put his son under a more ex perienced master. " See, sir," said he, "he has just composed a polacca for our hand ; and what do you think. he scored every note of it himself. We practised it to day, and I had a great deal of difficulty to persuade the men that it was written by the little fiddle-player as they call him." This piece of gratifying intelligence soon de termined Balfe's father as to the course he shotfid pursue; and shortly afterwards the family removed to Dublin, where arrangements were speedily made to place our young musiaian under thec:r i e tE o: l :l G r.

The young woman who sat behind him and saw his heel pro truding from its silken robe, slipped quietlyout of meeting, and gave the alarm. Two men friends were speedily sum moned, and the royal intruder felt himself gently tapped on the shoulder, and requested to walk into another room. He made no resistance, but quietly went away ; and receiving the usual notice, that the rules of the society would not allow any but members to be present, he retired. and calling a hackney coach, drove off, perhaps flattering himself that his incognito had not been penetrated ; for although his countenance had been instantly recognised, still nothing was said to intimate that it had been so.. Resolute that none but the initiated should be present, they were yet careful to treat with courtesy their most unexpected visitant, and even deferentially to respect his assumed character.— Quakerism.
